DISPENSARY SCHOOL FUND.
Treasurer EppS Receives Newberry'S Share
Of The Profits, Amounting
to $1,S22.24.

Treasurer Epps has received from the
Comptroller General warrant for 81,
822.2 Newberry's share of the dspen-
sary profits going to the school fund of
the various counties. This money was
set apart by the directors some time
ago as the profits for the first half of
the fiscal year. The whole amount dis
tributed was $80,OOO
A number of counties received addi-
tional amounts on account of deficien-
cies caused by the failure of their con-
stitutional three levy to raise $75 per
annum for each school district. The
law provides that if the constitutional
threemill levy does not raise the amount
of SIS per annum for each school dis
trict in the various counties, this def
cheney must first be supplied, and the
remainder of the profits then divided
among the counties in proportion to en-
rolment. There was no deficiency in
any of the school districts Of Newberry
county, and she receives only her regu-
lar share of the profits after deficiencies
were made up.

New Schedule on C., N. & L. Gives New
berry Excellent Railroad
Facilities.

The new train on the Columbia, New
berry and Laurens road, which went
into effect yesterday morning, will be a
very great convenience to this section
OF the country. This train going to
Columbia, leaves Laurens at 7 q. m.,
passing Newberry at $40 a. M, and
arrives at Columbia at 1916 a. m.
Returning, it leaves Columbia at p.
m., reaching Newberry at 7.O5 p. m.
This makes it possible for the people
in this section to go to Columbia in the
morning, spend day in Columbia, and
return the same afternoon. Or it is
possible to spend several hours in the
morning at Prosperity or points imme-
diately below and return to Newberry
either at noon or late in the afternoon.
Or it is possible to spend several hours
in the afternoon at points Immediately
below, returning the same afternoon.
This train, taken in connection with
the Southern's morning train out of
Columbia, and the noon train going both
ways on both roads, gives Newberry
the best railroad facilities she has en-
Joyed in some time.
1t is to be hoped that the new train
will prove success. 1t is a through
freight, with passenger accommoda-
tions, entering and leaving the Gervais
street station in Columbia.

~ PpR CENT. INCREASE.
Con .nlSslOners OF Public Works Raise
the Price Of Water and Electric
Lights.

The Commissioners of Public Works
met with three members of the finance
committee of City Council on Friday
Afternoon to discuss the question of
making improvements in the water
works and electric lighting system.
Tho commissioners have been con-
frontcd with the problem of securing
the funds for the improvements which
thcy doom necessary. Failing to secure
an appropriation from the city treasury
or al increase Of the tax levy by
Council for this purpose, only two plans
were left for consideration. One of
these was to put before the people the
question Of issuing additional bonds,
and the other was to increase the
charges on water and lights.
The question Of asking the people to
issue additional bonds was discussed,
but AZ the town is already very heavily
bonded it was thought best to abandon
this mode of solution, and it was then
decided to increase the charges on
water and lights twenty-five per cent.
to all patrons.
The idea is to have the amount
brought in from this increase deposited
in bank to the credit of the Commits
sioners, and when sufficient has been
collected, to make the necessary i'm
provements, including the building of
reservoir and other matters.
The correspondence between the
Commissioners and City Council al
ready published explains the matter of
the refusal Of Council to make an ap-
preparation from the treasury or to in
crease the levy. Council holds that the
condition of the towns finances will
not allow the appropriation and that
the levy is already as great as the
charter of the town will permit.
The Commissioners think that this
increase of twenty-five per cent. in the
price of water and lights to all patrons
will solve the problem The City Coun-
Gil, for instance, now pays $343.75 per
month for water and lights for the city
government. The increase from this
source alone will be $85.93 per month,
without taking into account any indi-
vidual consumer The sale of water to
individual consumers for the months of
April and May this year amounted to
$3.50. SO. A 25 per cent. increase on
these two months would have netted
1884, SO. The sale of the electric current
to individual consumers during the
and the increase which has been made
would have netted $112.76. Taking
these two months as a basis the in
crease from all sources will amount to
1854. 80 per month or $2217. 60 per year.
