the economic development of these
States, forms one Of the illustrations
used by Professor Slchter in the ex-
planation of deep-seated underaows.
A cross section of this part of the
country clearly shows the interesting
fact that the water which comes to
the surface in the gushing wells of the
Dakotas travels underground all the
way from the Black Hills and Rocky
Mountains slopes, in the water-bear-
ing strata known as the Dakota sand
stones. Another illustration of ex-
tensive basins due to deep under
ground flows is found in Wisconsin.
where an extensive area of water bear
ing rocks, nearly 1000 feet thick, con.
ducts water Of singular purity under
large a"eas of the State.
1t must be borne in mind that there
is limit to tho amount of which can
be drawn from an artisan basin, and
that there is no such thing as an in
exhaustible supply. The gradual
failure of the wells which supply the
city of Denver clearly illustrates this
fact. So great, a demand was made
upon this basin between the years 1884
and 1890 that it has been estimated
that, if all the wells were now plugged
the water-bearing strata of the basin
would require forty. years to recover
the saturated conditions which existed
when the first we'll was sunk.
In the eastern part of the country
the value and extent of underground
waters are illustrated by the enor-
nous qunatity used in the city of
Savannah, Ga. In 1888 the entire
supply of the city was drawn from
wells yielding 5,S5O,O0O gallons day,
total for the year of 2,135,842,00O
gallons. In the course of time this
supply somewhat diminished, and it
was suspected that the flow was OBJ.
structed in its entrance to the wells.
The pipes were accordingly flushed by
forcing into them water under high
pressure, and the flow was markedly
improved.
The study of underground water in
its relation to the effective water sup
ply of the country is one of the most
important departments of the work
of the United States Geological Sur
vey.
1t is carried on in the arid regions,
where water for irrigation is Of the
greatest value; in the middle West,
where grazing and successful farming
largely depend on it, and in the East,
where an unpolluted supply for domes-
tic and municipal use is yearly be-
coming more serious problem.

A MOVEMENT
10 Fut the Mississippi Levees Under
Government Control.
Special to vcksburg american.

jackson, Miss, May a. move.
ment has been inaugurated among
the planters in the Delta to renew the
effort to induce the United States gov
ernment to take entire charge of the
sytem of Mississippi levees, and its
is proposed to hold big mass meet
ing of planters, merchants, railroad
officials and citizens generally at
some central point during the month
OF June for the purpose of pushing
the matter before congress, and to
urge the members of the Mississippi
delegation to take the camaign ac-
lively in hand.
A few years ago an amendment to
the State constitution was submitted
to the people of the State to cede the
levee system to the Federal govern
ment. 1t received majority of the
votes cast, but not a majority of those
participating in the election in gen.
eral, and since that time the question
has dropped out of the public mind.
The Delta farmers are anxious to
be relieved of the burden of levee tax
alton, which is becoming more and
moro enormous as new issues of bonds
are made, and the profits of their
farming system are greatly cut down
through the expenses from this
source.
The two levee boards at present
have their affairs in good shape, and
if the government should ultimately
take charge of the Mississippi system
it will not be because Of financial en-
tanglements or the inability of the
boards to properly administer their
affairs and afford ample protection
to the Delta section.
Eft is generally recognized, how
ever, that the levees should be built
up higher throughout their entire
course, and the planters do not feel
Inclined to undertake the vast eX-
pense of such an enterprise, especial
ly if the government can be induced
to do it. Among the ablest engineers
and students of the leyee system
doubt no longer exists as to the per-
practicability of the levees VS.
TEN, and the theory that the building
up of leyees also raises the bed Of the
river finds very few supporter.
The levee board of the upper dis
trict will shortly advertise for bids
for certain pieces of contract work,
pursuant to its general plan to spend
about one-half million dollars in i'm
within the next year. Ar
engagements will also be made to float
q 5000, 900 bond issue to assist in the
work The levee bonds always find
ready market at good prices.

That Greennville has merchants
who are abreast Of the times is clearly
shown by a glance at their artistic
display windows. There are few
cities, even of double the population
of Greenville that have more up-to-
date merchants, and who conduct
their stores with any more ability or
success. The city is proud Of its mer-
chants as is proved by the fact that
the out Of town ordering business be-
comes smaller and smaller. each

chase their goods at home.

REAL ESTATE ExCURsIoNIsITs.


1t was but few minutes after ii
O'Clock, noon, on last Thursday wher
the Y. q M. v. special train bearinl
some 1870 prominent real estate men
of Illinois, Iowa, Indiananand neigh
boring states, pulled up to the depot
in this city Mayor Shields and q com
mittee of fifty citizens were at the de-
pot to receive the party when they
arrived and show them over the city.
On arrival, with only three hours
to spend in the city, the entire party
was escorted by the citizens to The
Phelps building where arrangements
had been made with the ladies Of the
Kings Daughters Circle MOI to serve
them dinner.
The party was under the ,tntelage
of Capt. ). F. Merry, Assistant Gen
eral Passenger Agent of the Illinois
Central railroad. touring the South
both with an eve to Investment and
pleasure, and during the partaking
Of the dinner. he arose and paid to
the ladies an eloquent tkibpte. From
the appIaufe his pleasant remarks ter
ceived, they no doubt found the en-
dorsement Of all in the house.
After dinner the entire party was
escorted to the river where Capt. Al.
Hider had a-boat in waiting To carry
them down the river To the LaGrange
creyasse that they might Zee some of
the never-to- e-forgotten sights 81
the recent high water. The trip down
the river proved very interesting and
enjoyable to every member Of the
party and will no doubt result in
some good towards the governments
control of the great leFee system, for
all with whom The Times man talk
ed after leaving the boat ex-
pressed themselv las favorifg it.
During the trip down Mayor Shields
made a short speech welcoming the
party to Greenviile. This was re-
sponded to by.sJudge Ingram. Of Cham
paign, Ills. After the speaking quar-
tette composed Of members Of the
party sang several selections which
brought forth several encores from
the gathered listeners. The trip was
made in about Al hour and three
quarters arriving. back In the city in
plenty Of time for M party ito reach

Capt, W. W, stS net g party
at CIarksdale Thursday aha came i on
the train with them to this city.
Through his individual efforts the en-
tertainment the party received here
is attributable, and for it he deserves
the city's thanks, as the entertain
ment given them and the impression
made upon them on the river trip
will cause them to remember Green
Wills after their arrival home and may
be the means Of bringing capital and
enterprises from that section to our
city.
The impression the gentlemen who
composed the party made upon our
citizens was the most favorable. They
all had the appearance of business
men and Intelligent citizens, and it is
just these kind Of people the South
would be glad to see come and make
their homes here.
