cruing to the town from the building
of this plant has been the reduction of
the insurance rates The city having
been before that on | | per cert. basis
and now being on per cent. basis,
saving Of 20 per cent. No city in the
interior now enjoys better insurance
rates and few have as good.
The Company has in its station two
pumps made by the Shotwell, Bricc &
Smith Vale Company, each having
capacity of million gallons daily
one of these is a compound duplex
steam pump aud the other duplex
power pump, driven by a +0-horsc
power Electric Induction Moter. The
Company maintains these two pumps
that they may be ready for any emer-
gcncy or accident that may happen to
either. The steam pump receives its
steam from the Company's boilers To-
Gated in an adjacent room: whilst the
induction motor receives current from
the Company power station at pres
ent situate at High Shoals on Rocky
River.
The Company now has between
twelve and thirteen miles of mains
laid through the principal streets of
the city, with eighty-four public
hydrants located thereon and some
300 taps supplying private citizens.

from the head of Whitner's Greek,
nearly mile above the point where
the Blue Ridge r. r. crosses that
stream, and about half a mile from
its source. At the point where the
water is taken from the Creek, small
gate is placed, which, when closed,
diverts the whole flow through pipes
into a reservoir, having capacity of
l 100000 gallons, being enough when
full to supply the town for several
days. In rainy weather, when the
Greek becomes muddy, this gate is
opened and the pipes to the reservoir
closed, thus insuring clear water un-
der all conditions of weather. All
surface water which could by any pos
sibility become contaminated is carried
by bitches into the Creek below the
point of supply for the water works,
and great care is taken to see that
they are kept open and in repair and
the reservoir clean. This water was
not long since subjected to a test by a
skillful and eminent chemist and pro-
nounccd by him as absolutely pure
free stone water.
From this upper reservoir the water
is carried by gravity through 10 inch
cast iron pipe to Il second and smaller
reservoir at the pumping station, stu
ated nearly Il mile down the stream,
and from thence is forced by the
pumps into the standpipe for distri-
button throughout the city. On the
main from the pumps to the stcndpipe,
and near the latter. is placed a valve,
by which means the standpipe can be
cut off and the entire pressure from
the pumps put directly on the mains.
In this way the pressure can be very
materially augmented in case Of fire
and the efficiency of the system great

Bleckley, of Atlanta, Ga. He moved
to Anderson and engaged in the mer-

Besides these farms. he controls
100 acres of farm lands, rented to

Brighton Notes.

Somewhat inauspicious as the open
ing of the season at this resort proved,
the sweltering weather of the past few
days has been such as to stimulate a
great influx of travel and most of the
cottages are now full. The commodious
and most excellent hotel is filing up
with young people, and as a natural
consequence tine social gayeties, which,
up 60 the present time have been alb
sent on account of the seasons back
wardness, are now at high tension.
1t is estimated that Brighton now
contains 500 souls. The camp is one of
life. New cottages are going up and
others are in contemplation. Camping
parties are very popular and every
wooden nook and coy corner is dotted
with white canvass. During the day
the sojourners enjoy themselves boat
ing on the beautiful lake Brighton,
horseback riding, scaling the maguifi-
cent Mount Majestic, the Wolverine and
other interesting peaks from which the
grandeur of the surrounding country
for miles can be surveyed. Twin lakes,
Mary, Martha and other sheets of water
are popular places for those who enjoy
teasing the speckled beauties which
there abound.
The evenings and a good part of the
night is spent in social gayetfes among
the cottagers, flirting, serenading and
various other amusements usual where
the younger element predominates.
There are several social functions
down on the carpet for the coming
week, and no doubt the ambition of the
promoters viii be realized
The most delightfully."- successful and
greatest of all this seasons ATTRACTIONS
was uhe fire carnival given Saturday
night by Judge and Mrs. o. w. Powers
in honor of the anniversary of Mrs.
Powers birthday The entire camp
was present and the number of peo-
pie was estimated to be not less than
400. The entertainments was entirely
novel, and such as only the originality
OF the hosts fertile brain could de-
sign. The judges cottage, Sunrise
Lodge, was literally covered with
colored lights. The effect was beau
tifui. The majestic peaks, cTegs,
rocks and verdure-covered hill sides
formed a background, while huge bon
fires from every prominent rock, and
Chinese lanterns strung from tree to
tree surrounding the cottage lent a
mellow light, Transforming the scene
into a veTitable fairyland.
These carnivals have been annual
affairs with the Powerses for

THE FATHER OF THE FOREST.

Now from these veins the strength OF
old
The warmth and lust of life depart:
Full of mortality, behold
The cavern that was once my hearth
Me, with blind arm. in season due,
Let the aerial Woodman hew.
For not though mightiest mortals fall,
The starry chariot hangs delayed;
His axle is uncooled, nor shall
The thunder of His wheels be stayed.
A changeless pace His coursers keep,
ana nait not at the wells Of sleep.
1.-The South shall bless, the East shall
blight,
The red rose of the Dawn shall blow;
The million-lilied stream of Night
Wide in ETHEREAL meadows flow;
And Autumn mourn. and everything
Dance to the wild pipe of the Spring
with oceans needless round her feet.
And the Indifferent heavens above,
Earth shall the ancient tale repeat
OF wars and tears, and death and love;
And, wise from all the foolish Past,
Shall peradVenture hail at last.
1.-THE advent of that morn divine,
When nations may as forests grow,
Wherein the oak hates not the pine,
Nor beeches wish the cedars woe,
But all, in their unlikeness, blend
Confederate to one golden end
Beauty: The Vision whereunto,
In joy, with paintings, from afa.-,
Through sound and odor, form ami hue
And mind and clay, and worm ane
star
Now touching goal now backward
Tolls the indomitable world"
