Col. Ellison S. Keitt.

COL Ellison S. Keitt, the Sage of
Enoree, was in the city Wednesday.
Col. Keitt still manifests an active in
terest in the political questions of the
day. He says that the Democrats never
had a better chance for winning in a
Presidential compaign than they have to
win in the next. What the party needs,
he says, is a man at the head Of the
ticket Of broad mind and with broad
views-a business man who has the re-
spect and confidence of the business
interests of the whole world, and who
has interests in the South, and is friend
ly to every section of the country. And
for second place the same kind of man.
Col. Kettt has ticket in mind which
he will propose later on. 1t is too early
yet, he says, to be proposing names for
a campaign nearly two years Distant
He will be heard from later on.

THAT RESERVE WATER SUPPLY.

The Board of Public Works at the
same meeting also forwarded to City
Council the following communication, in
which reply to former communica-
tion of the Board asking for an appro-
priatiOn for a reserve water supply is
requested. The matter has not been
considered by Council for the reason
that it has been impossible to get full
meeting of the Council at any time
since the communication was received,
and in matter as important as the ap-
preparation of a sum of money sufficient
to accede to the Boards requests full
meeting was desired. AS stated in the
reply of Mayor Earhardt, which follows
the communication of the Board, the
matter will be finally disposed of at the
next meeting of Council
Following is the communication from
the Board:
To the Honorable, Mayor and City
Council, Newberry, S. c.:
Gentlemen:-T Board of Public
Works having addressed communca-
ton to your Body, as to the necessity
OF reserve water supply for the City,
with business proposition in regard to
financial matters, and by request ap-
peared before your Body to consider
the same on the 4th of March last, and
receiving no communication from you
in regard thereto, can hardly believe
that you intend to treat them with the
discourtesy of failing to acknowledge
even the receipt of a courteous and
polite communication, and hereby direct
their Secretary to call your attention to
this matter, and request that an ans
wer be given the Board at an early day
For the Board considers this a matter
in which the City is very materially
concerned and that some satisfactory
arrangement for a larger supply of
reserve water should be arranged for
at once. Respectfully,
JAMES MCINTOSH,

Goes conscience Money" One Better.

In the early morning one day this
week negro man walked into Jones'
ice house, marched straight up to the
counter, looked behind the scales, then
ran his glance several times up and
down the counter and around the room.
Evidently he was diligently searching
for some one. He thus did for few mo-
ments. Asked what he wanted, he
said that he was looking for five cents
worth of ice which he had bought and
had left on the counter last summer.
He said that he had bought the ice, and
leaving it and going out for few min
utes, he forgot to return forit, and now

THE SEWER SYSTEM.
Board Of Public Works Ready to Turn
Over System to City Council
Other Communications.

The City Council has received from
cation, in which the Board expresses it's
readiness to turn over the sewer system
to Council at any time Council is ready
to receive it. This action, it is explained
by the Board, is taken in accordance
with a recent decision Of the Supreme
Court of South Carolina, in an opinion
filed in case from Union.
Council as yet has taken no action
upon the offer of the Board, having had
no meeting since the communication
was received. There seems to be a
difference of opinion among some as to
the application Of the decision in ques-
ton to the Newberry case. No opinion
from the City Attorney has been made
public as yet, however, and it is impos-
sible to predict what course will
pursued by Council.
The communication from the Board
follows:
TO the Honorable, the Mayors Council,
Newberry, S. c.:
Gentlemen:-T The late decision of the
Supreme Court of So. Carolina, that the
management of the Sewer Department
in the City of Union, S. c., vested in
the City Council, must apply to all cities
in the State.
And as the Council placed the man.
agement of the Sewer System of New
berry at its inception under the control
of the Board of Public Works, the
Board would now call the attention of
the Council to this decision of the Su-
preme Court, and inform your Honor
able Body that they are ready to turn
over to them the Sewer System, to-
gether with the funds and all material
and supplies now on hand belonging to
that department, and would request the
Council to arrange at as early day as
convenient to assume the control of the
same.
Yours very truly,
