SENSIBLE TALK ON WATER
Abbeville Has the Best Water In the
World, and It Is the Best Thing
That We Have. ~.

Abbevile, s. c., May %, 1900
Editor Press and Banner: -
Our water works system is all right and ID
not surpassed by any in the State. 1t be-
hooves every taxpayer In the city to use the
water and use II literally. We have to pay
the taxes anyhow and of course the greater
the number of subscribers, the less the ex
pense of operating the plant. AS soon as the
capital system of water works was establish
ed, quit using my we'll water and have used
nothing but artesian water since. We drink
1t often, 1t has been made cool by passing
through drum in my old we'll, which was q
very fine one, and II is about as cool as well
water. The health OF my family has been
splendid since We have been using artesian
water, and we use 1t for everything. l have
eight spouts on my place and before the
metre system was established paid Sl8 per
year for the wafer and since the metres were
put in 1t has cost me at the rate OF Sll 40 per
year: We use 1t now just as literally az we
did before the metres were put In. but we
have never wasted 1t. | have heard from q
reliable man that the Anderson figures ranged
from % cents to 40 cents when the syBtemwas
first established there the larger constmeI
getting the lower rate. AS to water being 10
cents per thousand gallons In Greenwood,
they ought TO sell 1t for about 5 cents per
thousand, for 1t Is spring branch water and
very good Of It's kind, but IL cannot com pare
fayorably with our pure and sparkling
artesian water which comes from 500 feet un.
der the ground Through granite. Besides
Green wood has no metre system.

Another Cotton Mill.

1t is thought that Abbeville now has an op'
portunity TO get another cotton mill. If our
people will chip In and help, Abbeville may
soon have two mills. And Abbeville needs
nothing more than another big manufacture
ing enterprise. We learn that citizen OF
Florida. who has money, is looking for q
place 10 build a mill, and there Is no reason
why be should not come to Abbeville, and
there is no good reason why AbbeVille should
not subscribe to the capital STOCK Oh ne"
mill. The presence of the Abbeville Cotlon
Mill has certainly been of benefit to the city
and If our town Is 10 grow, our people should
encourage those who may be half Inclined to
come this way with money TO inaugurate
new enterprises.
This newspaper has so often urged progress
that we had almost determined TO announce
that the town was finished, and, that we were
presumably, only waiting the arrival OF the
undertaken, when the final ceremonies Wonlo
be said over the town.
We now may have an opportunity to get
cotton mill, and the conditions are much
more favorable than they were in 1895, when
our cotton mill was started. Our people are
better of. AS is evidenced by the bank de-
pOslts, they nave tWlce as mucu luie "one5 "S
they had then. Our people In 1895 subscribed
for a cotton mill when they thought the sub
scrIption would be total loss, but later de
velopments have shown that stock IN cot
ton mill has commercial value. Let every
friend of the town make up his mind to sub
scribe something for new cotton mill.
In 1895 about one hundred and fifty Of oul
citizens took stock in the existing mill. LIE,
as many take the same amount OF stock In
new mill in 1900, and we will have another
mill. Almost every citizeE can subscribe fol
from one to ten or fifty shares. Make VI
your mind to do your part. Let as for once
show united and unanimous interest In the
old town. Nobody need cripple himself imam
cially, but there are few who cannot give
something. The stock will no doubt be worth
the cost In q little while, but II you get In
hurry for returns the stock can be sold at
fair price, even before the wheels begin u
turn. Another mill would help the town Inn
mensely. And we cannot afford to let an op
portunity pass.
We urge our people TO consider this matter
II they love the town, and We know that they
do, let 1t not be said that any man refused his
aid and continuance to a scheme which must
greatly benefit the town.

Editor Press and Banner:
In our opinion the offer of the Electric
Light and Power Co. to take charge OF Inc
WaterwOTks IL certainl ~ u most lloeral one lot
the city. One which, tor the siugle enterprise
alone no individual or corporation could oil.
dertake, aud IL only justitiable In connection
with Electric Light Plant, rs same eng
engineers, wood &c, would run both aud De
under the same management
The acceptance OF this proposition Woulu
relieve the city OF all expenses but the inter-
est on the bonds, and reduce cost 10 the users
Of the water from 30 10 ~ cents per loVo
gallons
We have perfect confidence In the Integrity
of the Water Com mInissioners, but II tbey re-.
fuse the offer, III ust question The soundness Of
their judgment
Electric Light and Power Co. assumes all eX-
peases but the Water Commissioners retain
control as they collect the water rents from
consumers and pay over The amount, less ex'
penses for collection, to the company.
Judge Lyons "reasons for not going into the
trade" when analyZed are simply no reasons.
He tells THAT the Commissioners want To do
or hope to do or will do under certain con-
tingences, and that is all.
The bald fact stares US In the face, according
to Judge Lyons calculation, as the minimum
possible expense, that 1t will cost sl09 80 per
month TO run the plant, near SlSOO certainly
per year. Whereas it would cost the city
nothing If run by the company. This certain.
ly would be saved to the city as we'll as lO
cents per 1000 gallons TO consumers.
But the fact Is, as appears from account
rendered, that the deficiency for past month
Is S16O, besides amount owing for meters,
about $780, and no reason TO suppose that
there will not be deficiency every succeeding
month.
AS appears from published statement Of ex-
penses for the past year by the City Council
the amount was near $4,000, Of which more
than onethird was for water WORKS and Incl.
dents. =,
AS to the water, the company could be re-
quired to furnish exactly the same as now
furnished by the Water Commissioners.
If the proposition" Is refused, we predict
with absolute certainty, no favorable offer
will ever be made again, and an elephant will
be saddled upon the city.
II the offer is not satisfactory as TO the Pc
riod OF the contract, let the Commissioners
insist upon q shorter term than ten years,
and insert q condition that, upon failure OF
the Electric and Power Co. TO fulfill the con-
tract, they shall have the right to rescind the
contract on due notice, and resume possession
OF the plant, without let or hindrance, and
Ing through their hands, they will certainly
the contract by the company. Tax Payer.
