Rock Hill Herald, December, Is. The
marriage of Miss Maggie Ida carson
and Mr.. Marshall B. Dunlap was SOL
emnized at the home Of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. D. Pearson,
at Ogden Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. J.. H. Ariail.. Into one OF
our homes, again the death angel has
entered; and, in an hour that is pc
culiarly sad and tender, the fond moth
er, the devoted wife, has been taken
hence. Mrs. George P. Holler died at
her home on West Main street Thurs
day afternoon at o'clock. Nv. H.
White, son of w. w. White, who lives
near Harmony while cutting wood
few days ago mad the misfortune Of
letting the axe slip which cut a severe
cash in his left foot. The board OF
trustees Of Winthrop college seem to
have solved the difficult problem that
damage suit Of last year, when a YER
dict of 5000 was awarded by the jury
and the sewer declared a nuisance.
After casting about to find some way
of providing for the disposal of the
sewage and looking carefully into the
various plans proposed, the board fl
nally decided to put in a filtration sys-
tem-one that is very generally used
in Europe and at a number Of places
in the country. They had Mr.. N. Will
son Davis, a sanitary engineer of long
and successful experience from the
University of Virginia, to come and
carefully look over the ground and
make a preliminary report. Mr.. Da-
| Wis reported that the conditions at
Winthrop were such as would ensure
an ideal filtration system, and that a
system could be put in at comparative
ly small cost. He submitted an item
lied statement Of the cost, when the
board decided to employ Mr.. Davis to
construct the filtration plant, consist
|
ber, a sludge box and three filter bed,
Mr.. Davis agreeing to guarantee sue
cessful working Of the system. The
plant was completed and turned over
to the college authorities last Saturday
after a weeks test. The principle Of
the system is the separation Of all
solid sewage from the liquid and the
periodical automatic syphoning or
dumping of tank full Of liquid upon
the filter beds, which are made Of five
feet Of sand with drain pipes at the
bottom emptying into the main sewer
pipe. The sewage Is not only filtered;
but is purified by passing through the
filter BEDS and the resultant flow at
the sewer outlet is as clear as spring
water and free from all odor. After
using one filter bed for a time, say
for two days, the second bed is used to
rest the first and then the third to rest
the second. In this way each bed Is
given ample time for publication and
it is guaranteed that with proper use
they will do the work for years without
having to be renewed. This system OF
sewage disposal Is rapidly superseding
every other in the older and more
thickly settled communities. and is
providing a most satisfactory solution
of the vexatious and vital question OF
community sewage disposal. The sum
appropriated by the legislature for this
purpose was $4,000, and the cost, In
cluding damages, and all expenses in
connection with the work, is consid-
erably less than the amount appropri-
ated, perhaps as much as $500 being
saved.
