COLORADO DROUGHT BROKEN

Inches.

Denver, Coll June 30.-The drought,
which threatened to be the most Sc
we're that Colorado has known for
years, has been broken by a rain as
general in extent as it was copious in
quantity. Though the storm was in
places accompanied by hail, which did
much damage, this is trivial com
pared with the value of the crops
saved by the rain.
The storm damage in Denver and

The special election submitting the propositions of issuing bonds to take up the outstanding water works bonds and of issuing bonds to purchase the sewerage system will take place MOn- day. A full expression of the tax payers should be had on these ques- tions. Both of are vital interest to the town, and both should meet with the hearty approval of every taxpayer, as both propositions which, if carried, will be the means of saving the town a considerable sum of money-the in- terest on the water works bonds be- ing reduced just one-half the present rate. Should the town own the sewer age system the sanitary conditions of the town could be greatly improved and the system extended from the an- nual income. Both propositions are considered good financial investments, and there seems to be no good reason for not adopting both propositions.

Funny, isn't it, how little we appre- ciate ourselves in our home town! To arouse an interest the pastor must im- port an evangelist, the campaign man. ager public speaker, foreign min- ister is required for swell weddings, the faker sells usthings which we could buy cheaper from our home merchant and our money is invested away from home by some enterprising financier who promises big profits in any old stocks. So it goes no limit to our de- sire for something novel, until we get to the cemetery and then we're satisfied for the home folks to take charge oi the proceedings.

The revenues came chiefly from two sources, the internal revenue ($27l, 8SO, 122. 10) and the customs ($254, 444, 7O8. 19), the next largest items being $l21, ,S4S, ,O47. .26 from the postal service, and slO, ,979, 5O8. @ from profits on coin- age, bullion deposits, etc. The sales of public land (which went into the arid land reclamation fund.- yield $4,- IA, 122.78. Compared with the fiscal year 1901, the receipts for 1902, de- creased $l4,99O, 259.45. There was a decrease of s3S, ,776, 495.5l in expendi- lures.

The outlook for statehood is not encouraging. The report of the com mittee on Territories is against the admission of Arizona and New Mexi- co, and in favor of Oklahoma. The question will come before the senate on Wednesday of next week, when it is probable that vote of the senate will decide the matter; should the vote be against admission, the fight for state hood will be continued at the next ses- sion of congress.

A correspondent writing to the New York World about the increase of wages, says: 'It will do more to im- prove general retail trade than an in-
 crease of 40 per cent. in the dividends paid to trust stockholders. Rockefel- ler's AS per cent. on Standard Oil or Morgan's big dividend on Steel Mer- ger stock might be doubled and they would not spend dollar more or less than they usually do. But the wage earners as a class spend all their wages, whether high or low. They are never high enough to exceed their natural and reasonable desire for a little more of the good things of life. "

ATTENTION. TAxPAyees 1!

To the Taxpayers of Flagstaff
 At the special bond election to be held on December 8, 1902, in Flagstaff, Arizona, two questions are submitted to the electors. That you may clearly understand these questions, we submit the following
 The town issued it's bonds in the sum of s95,OO at the time the water works were constructed. The building and construction cost $1O9, 403.4l. Of this amount $1O, 800 remains due and unpaid at this date. This SIG, 800 is outstanding in water warrants bearing F per cent per annum. It is the in- tention to float water bonds for this amount bearing 6 per cent per annum, thereby saving the town $63O.0O a year in interest.
 A sewer and drainage system is an indispensable condition in modern, progressive community. The health of our town and it's future demands that sewer and drainage system be maintained and extended as the town grows.
 The Drainage and Improvement company offers to sell the town it's plant for the sum of s9,5l8.4 45, the act ual cost of constructioh. The present annual income from the sewer system is approximately slOf7.5O. The inter- est at per cent on khe sewer bonds would be $570.Ob, leAving the town an annual surplus pf k477.5O. The town would have no thxs to pay, and the superintendent df the water works and town clerk could look after the system and collection ot rentals without extra compensation. The town could better control the system to the decided im- provement of the sanitary condition of the town, and at the same time con- siderably increase the revenues by future extensions. We believe both propositions to be g good financial in- vestment. We, however, submit the propositions in two questions, SO the people may be entirely free to express themselves on each.

May we deferentially inquire what has
become of that pardon board the COVER
nor's scribacious private secretary and
his friend, the senator from Newberry,
were to establish? We may observe IN
passing that when comments on the gov
ernor's pardoning proclivities became
rather general the number o! pardons
were not so numerous.-The State.
This question should be "deferential-
ly' Eut to the pretended dictator who
presides over the editorial department OF
the State newspaper and the senator from
Oconee and not to the "scribacious prl-
vate secretary and his friend, the senator
from Newberry." 1t was the former and
not the latter who "were to establish" a
board of pardons. For authority of this
assertion we refer the distinguished and
bumptious editor of the State newspaper
to the files of his own paper in Septeln =
Der and October Of last year.
"May we deferentially" remark that if
we had the power and welded the infiu-
ence the bumptious editor Of the State
newspaper imagines he does and wanted

ture to establish it and the job would be

they would agree never to COM der

also sug ggested that he would prepare

Mayor Klettner: Our council a
way passes its own ordinances without
the help of any one. We are the rep
resentatives of the people of Ne~herry,
and have only the peoples good at
heart. We will take up shis NATTER at
our next'session on the 18th OF February,
when your proposition will b: carefully
considered, and you will be notified of

| In conclusion Mr.. Ingram thanked
the members of the council for having
! granted him an audience and hoped
they would give some consideration to
i the petition which had been signed by
! majority of the business meu Of the
town and presented to council.
Mr.. Klettner stated that the reason
why the petition had not been given
more consideration was that many Of
the people who signed that petition
came to him afterwards and asked him
to scratch off their names, many OF
them giving as their reason that the
petition was signed under misunder-
standing of the case.
The meeting then adjour ned.
Some action will probably be taken
on this matter at the regular meeting
of council tonight.

We are opposed to the establishment
ofa State furtilizer factory which appears
to be right popular among our legislators.
Such an enterprise would utilize convlc'
labor and probably cheaper fertilizers
for the farmers, thereby rendering them
a temporary benefit. But we oppose 1t
both as a principle and policy. lie
State has no right to mouopolize any
business nor to enter into competition
with Enterprises already establised She
had lust as we'll establish cotton factory
as fertilizer factory. She had better 60
into the grocery business than remain IN
the liquor business, for the former IS
more respectable. Convict labor shou'd
not be brought into competition with
honest free labor in any industry. Let
the convicts be employed on the roads
and on such works as are intended tor
the benefit of the whole people. and let
the State look after the legitimate objects
of governmental other words mind her
own business -Gaffney Ledger.
The fertilizer bill we think has been
killed. Ifit has not it should be. We
agree fully with the Ledger that the con-
victs should be put to work on the public
roads and if they were it would only be a
short time before we could have system
of good roads. We do not think the
State is making great deal out of its
farms, and we know they are as well
managed as it is possible to have them,
but when freshets come the crops are de-
stroyed and the management cannot pre-
vent their coming. 1t is we'll to keep
the Lexington farms to make support
for the convicts But we notice the leg
islature has refused to stop farming or to
sell the farms. But the hiring to private
parties is no longer permitted and there
may be chance to put some of the con-
victs on the roads.

The TELEPHONE SITUATION.
General Superintendent OF Construction CT
the Bell Company Presents His side Of
the Case to the Town Counc.t !, Max
u Proposition, Which Council Will
Consider at Its Next Meeting.

On Friday afternoon special meet
ing of the city council was held when
Mr.. F. L. Ingram, general superinten-
dent of construction Of the Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, appeared before them 10 present
his arguments iu favor of letting his
company in without a restriction as 10
prices to be charged and certain other
sections embodied within the franchise
granted by council. 1t will be remem-
J bered that some time ago, about the 9Th
of December, council granted this Gem
pany an unrestricted franchise, which
action they rescinded on Dec. IA. by the
passage of an ordinance granting the
Bell Company the same fraachise as
that now enjoyed by Mr.. L. w. Floyd.
A petition was Immediately circulated
among the people of the city asking
council to grant the unrestricted fran
chise and received the signatures of a
majority of the citizens of the town.
Council, however, al subsequent
meeting stood by its action.
The meeting on Friday afternoon Was
held in Mayor Klettner's Office, only
one member of the council being absent.
Mr.. Ingram stated that his object in
being here was to see just what coun-
Gil wanted his company to do and If
there was ally possible chance to get
together. His company was just start
ing work on the other lines Throughout
the State and would like to have the
matter of getting into the city limits
of New berry decided as soon as posi-
bic.
Mayor Klettner said that the council
had already stated its position i'll the
matter and it was now left to the tele-
phone company to decide whether or
not they would come. If anything was
to be done, proposition would have
to come from them, which would be
considered by council.
Mr.. Ingram said that it would be
impossible for his company to accept
the ordinance passed, but be would like
to talk the matter over and make
proposition.
Mayor Klettner asked for legal
opinion from the city attorney, Mr.
Blease, as to whether council could
consider this matter before the expira-
tion of the sixty days allowed for the
acceptance of the former ordinance.
Mr.. Blease:-You could, of course,
hear any proposition which the gentle
man desires to lay before you, but coun-
