CITY PIPING SYSTEMS.
Why Comprehensive Plans Should Be
Adopted EARLY.

Why Comprehensive Plans Should BE
Adopted EARLY.
Vrcm the Engineering Record.
The initial expense Of a general subway
system through the business part of a
city seems SO great that so far no Ameri-
can city has attempted any comprehensive
yystem. The general feeling has been that
subway systems would be built some time.
but that there was no hurry about IT..
Meanwhile the piping under the streets Is
being constantly increased and residence
property is being developed for business
purposes needing vault space under the
sidewalks, both of which are conditions
that will increase the expense Of a subway
system when eventually constructed.
The constant opening of costly pavements
for repairs to the piping beneath has now
become such a nuisance and expense that
Il calls for some substantial change in our
present methods. As the many details Of
a general subway system are too compli-
Gated for disposal without a very thorough
consideration from different points of view
the following suggestions are made with
a view to drawing out a general discussion
by our readers. Let the water. sewer and
gas pipes intended for house service on
new streets or streets about to be repave6
sewers ana supply mains being laid under
the street surface as at present. Then as
the growth OF the town demands these resi-
dence streets for business buildings reQuir-
ing vaults under the sidewalks, let a stand
ard vault design be adopted by the city In
which space for piping is provided and re-
Quire property owners to build according
to this cesign-ur. in other words, have q
combined vault and subway built just as
a pavement Is laid now-as the growth of
the city demands. These vaults and SUBJ
ways should be controlled by the city. and
a sufficient rental charged property owners
for vault space to pay for the interest on
the first cost, maintenance and deprecia-
ton. A point that would have to be con-
sfdered In designing such q subway would
be the danger from large fires. A point in
its favor, besides those already mentioned
Is that II property-owners knew that ali
street piping had to be laid through their
vaults they would not be 30 careless in
granting franchises to parties wishing to
lay piping as they are under the present
system. We invite the discussion Of our
readers on this subject.

by the hospital staff Washington's
Emergency Hospital staff illustrates the
fact. None of them knows solemnity as
condition of mind. Besides their expert
ence, and the philosophy begotten of ex-
perience, there Is still better reason for
their perpetual, comparative cheerfulness
of temperament in an atmosphere filed
with suffering-they are too busy to think
of 1t; they are too constantly on the move
for depressing inward apostrophes on the
sorrow focused by their eyes; and the ma
ture of their occupations demands Of them
all an unvarying eQuability of mind and
temper.
The Emergency Hospital is subject to
rush days. like business house. After a
week of comparative quietude, the wards
rapidly thinning Of patients, the doctors
and nurses engaged In writing ng-delayed
letters, the tide Of the SICK the MANNED
and the dying sets in suddenly. The tele-
phone bell, once airing, keeps going. The
ambulance no sooner draws up to the door
with one case than 1t Is of again. The
dispensary becomes mysteriously jammed
all at once. The hospital staff, like seasoned
firemen familiar with the phenomenon of
simultaneous fires. claim that they can in
tuitively feel the approach Of these rush
days and nights, and roll up their ~leeves
for them in advance.
When the Boom Started.
Such period Of excitement and scurry
set in at the hospital one afternoon last
week, and lasted until long after midnight.
1t found the hospital folks, men and wo-
men, ready, like good soldiers VINO sleep
with single eye closed. Here it should be
set down that the Emergency Hospital doc
tors-there are seven of them. two ION
watch" at time-are clutched by a very
unusual sort of modesty. They do not like
to see their names in type. Therefore the
two clever. leve-headed young men who
grappled with the red-hot busy spell above
mentioned shall be nameless here; each of
them having stated to The Star reporter
that he was hunting for experience, not
Immortality.
An alcoholic started the rush. The
hospital telephone bell suddenly came to
life. What's the matter with him-can
you tell?" inquired the doctor who answer
ed the call Of the policeman at the other
end Of the line. Got 'em, you say? OH

doctor whirled around the bell of the sta.

NEWBERRY, S. c., juno 21st, 1897.
TO the Editor of the Grecnvillc Ncws:
Dear Sir:-If you will allow me will
usurp the function Of your Ncwbcrry
correspondent for this once, with due
apology to said correspondent, and give
you few impressions of this hustling
town.
About q year ago / had the pleasure
Of spending } week here conducting an
institute for the teachers of the county

kindness, hospitality and progressive
spirit Of the people thatI was glad to
receive Il call to return for similar
purpose this year.
find that Il year has made quite Il
difference in the appearance of New
berry. On every side arc evidences Of
push, progress and Improvement. That
much talked of, bclatcd, Mckinley
prosperity seems to be in evidence here
The town is taking on quite city-lkc
look. New buildings, new paving, u
system Of water works, good hotel,
an elegant opera house, make New
berry one of the first towns Of the State.
Ncwbcrry has solved the problem Of
pure water. She gets her supply in
great abundance from some distance
this side of Central China, as near rs
can calculate from the direction it is
travelling when it gets here, and it is
so clear and pure that people drink
large quantities Of it for diversion.
Bottles and jugs arc in great album
dance and the demand is unabatcd.
They have nothing Of dispcnsary
nature in them either. The city is just
about completing Il large steam dis
pcnsary which will drive this pure life
giving water all over it. This will OBJ
viatc the original package plan Of OBJ
tanning it now in vogue. When this
system of water works is in operation,
even Grccnvillc with her magnificent
supply may envy Ncwborry. The
Georgia philosopher, "Bill Arp" dis
played his usual good sense when he
praised Ncwbcrry and her people 50
highly. No doubt he was under the
influence Of artcsian water at the time.

Gelston was experimenting tho work
at the ballast pit blast was made and
aftcr II . he started from his place
of safety, thinking all the stones had
fallen when he was hit on the head,
crushing in tho skull causing it to press
on the brain. The engine was started
with him for home and DR.. Hunter was
called in. The engineer went after the
Company's surgeon at Ncwberry, DR..
Mcintosh, and made the run back in 7
minutes. Drs. Hunter and Mcintosh
operated on tho fracture and removed
16 Or II fragments of bone and rcliev-
cd the pressure from the brain and
fixed up the wound nicely. He is do
ing very nicely at this writing, no fcv-
CT having set in as yet, and all his
symptoms are good. With his good
and robust constitution wo feel that
unless somo bad symptoms set in he
will fully recover. Capt. Gilston has
been faithful employee of the South
crn and they should and no doubt will
treat him handsomely, rs he will not
be able in our opinion to resume his

broke and the mule started to run and
the longer the faster. Mr., Harmon
jumped out, intending to run ahead
and catch the mule, but in jumping he
fell and got cntanglcd in the lines and
was dragged for about Is yards. His
wife in attempting to jump out fell, and
there being Il deep ditch on the side
she fell some distance and was very
painfully hurt, if not seriously so, by
having the muscles OF her knee torn
loose. She has no use OF il at all. Mr..

MIR. Is. l.. Jones to Go to Columbia.

We take the following from the Co

about Il Ncwborry boy, we arc sure it
will be rcal with interest. The Herald
ana News is glad Mr.. Jones gets Il good
place near home:
superintendent Drchcr of the city
schools yesterday gave out the follow
ing information for publication:
"In regard to the Laurel Street
School, he said that Mr.. ColScr, who
was selected by the board last week as
principal of this school, had been unan
imously elected superintendent Of the
Marion public schools three days after
his election here at Il much better sala
ry than the board could pay at the Lau-
rel Street School. Mr.. Cokcr did not
ask to be released from his engage
mcnt here, but it was learned that he
would prefer to go to Marion and
would accept if released by the board.
The board, not caring to hold him to
his contract in view Of the better posi-
tiOn offered him, consented to release
him as soon as q man could be found to
take his place. This man has been
found in the person Of Mr.. b. l.. Jones
of NcwlIcrry, who has accepted the
place referred to. Mr.. Jones is Il first
hoDor graduate Of Ncwbcrry College
(class Of '93) and has had four years
experience, two years in the public
schools of Ncwbcrry and two years as
first male assistant. Of the Coleman,
Texas, public schools.
Mr.. Jones is q member Of the Bap-
tst Church, and is in every respect q
refined and polished gentleman, well
fitted to take charge Of the boys at the
Laurel Street School. He was wanted
again in Texas, but he prefers to work
nearer home. Under his supervision
and strong personality the work will
undoubtedly prosper in this branch Of
the city schools.
