Mr.. B. r. Moore's Valuable Water Power.

In company with Mr.. G. l.. Craig we
had the pleasure of spending Monday
night with Mr.. B. +. Moore aud family,
near Townville. Mr.. Moore is one of
Oconee's most successful farmers. In
going over his place we were impressed
with the manner in which he utilizes the
water power afforded by little branch.
1t is just such little branch as is found
on nearly every farm in the county, the
only difference being most of the
branches are much larger. A dam is
built across the channel of this small
branch about one hundred yards below
Its head, and the water stored for nse as
occasion may demand. A small water
wheel is built at the base of a short race,
and by means of gate the water is let
on or shut off the wheel at pleasure. In
this way the water is used to furnish the
power for blowing the bellows in his
blacksmith shop, turning grindstone,
threshing peas, churning, or other occa-
sional use requiring small water power
The churning apparatus was especially
unique. Near the steps of the kitchen
door small frame about eight feet high
is built. The churn is set al the foot of
this frame, the dasher being fastened to
the lower end of a perpendicular piston
rod, tho upper end OF which is fastened
at the rim of wheel eight inches in
diameter. The wheel is operated by a
cord used as a belt extending from q
pully in the shop on the branch, dis
tance of at least one hundred and fifty
yards. Now suppose you have churn
with four gallons of milk. Set it on tho
frame, fasten dasher to piston rod turn
on the water, and it does the balance iD
twenty minutes. With this simple de-
vice the churning is done by tho time tho
good wife gets breakfast. The manner
in which the water of this small branch
is used shows the value of the many
small streams throughout the county. If
once their power is harnessed for the
purposes of husbandry. Mr.. Moore has
here set an example worthy of imitation
by many others.

Infanticide.

On the 2Sth day of May, 1902, Mr.. w.
j. Vissage discovered in sack in the
mouth of one of the shafts of the old
tunnel an infant male white child evil
IDENTIFY only few hours old. The child
had been put in sack and tied up and
thrown into the shaft. Coroner w. l..
Harbin was summoned and he in com
pany with DIR. j. s. Stribling proceeded
to the scene where Coroner's jury was
summoned and an inquest held. The
evidence tended to show that the infant
had likely been in the water in the shaft
two or three days. The testimony taken
was very meagre, but the jury found
against Amanda and Emma Gibbard and
they were arrested and lodged in Jail
where they now are.

lect any indemnity from the little gov
ernment. Therefore Secretary Hay has
