Mayor Thonpsaa Feels Sure Of Inc Plant.
The Promoters Heard From.

Last week several letters and telegrams
were exchanged between Mayor James
Thompson and w. II. Frink, Of New
York, who was recently In Walhalla
looking after matters In connection with
the proposed waser-works and electric
light deal. Mayor Thompson now feels
certain, of the success of the plans on
which he has spared neither time nor
labor to bring to q successful close. The
delays and uncertainties that have fol-
lowed eaoh other during tho past six
months were calculated TO discourage,
yet Mr.. Thompson has never lost faith
In the people with whom he has been
treating, And with the Developments of
last week he feels that the water, and
light problem 10 about to be satisfactorily
settled.
while on visit to walhalla last July
Mr.. Frink was informed by Mr.. Thomp-
SON that Walhalla was sorely in need Of
electric lights and water-works. Mr.
Frink told Mr.. Thompson that IL he
would secure for him q franchise from
the City Council that he would 9uaran-
tee both water and lights during the year
1904. AZ the regular meeting OF. Council
In December, 1908, q franchise was given
to w. B. Frink for water and light
plant. Since then both Mr.. Frink and
Mr.. Thompson have been doing all that
could be done to get the plants built, and
the former at last Interested some of his
New York friends in the enterprise, and
now they announce that they are ready
to 90 to work.
Some time ago Mrs. Brodbeck, also of
New York, came to Walhalla to look
over the field and see what the outlook
was. She spent some time here study
ing the situation and finally decided that
she would proceed with the work and
build the plants at once. She is now in
Chicago negotiating for the materials
necessary for equipment and operation
of the plant. She expects to arrive in
Walhalla next Friday ready to start the
work. The land on which the water sup.
ply is to be obtained has been purchased,
we are told, from Thos. N. Hall. When
the plant is completed Walballa will have
one of the best water plants in the South,
as there Is no better water to be found
than that which will be brought here.
The two plants will call for an invest
ment of $780, 900 or $4,000.
Let all of us put our shoulders to the
wheel of progress and keep it turning.
We have one of the best towns in South
Carolina, and all we need is to go to
work in earnest to make it by far the
best. Some other enterprises are being
worked up by the same people interested
in the water-works, and there is no good
reason why Walhalla should not, within
the next few years, grow into town of
5000 inhabitants or more. But we must
help ourselves before we look for great
things in the way of help from others.

Rev. s. Phillips Vernor Heard From.

Mrs. John s. Werner, of Columbia, has
recently heard from her son, Rev, s. p.
Werner, who cabled her from Africa,
stating that he is we'll and about to start
for America. 1t will take about ak
weeks for him to reach st. Louis with
the pygmies he was sent to secure, with
25 Of whom he will return to America.
They were secured about thousand
miles in tho interior of Africa, on the
Kasia river, one of the large branches of
the Congo. This information sets at rest
authoritatively and pleasantly the pub

time ago to the effect that Rev. Mr.. Yer
ner had lost his life at the hands Of tho
little people he had gone to secure.

A FEW WORDS FOR DAD.

We happened in home the other
night, and over the parlor door saw
the legend, worked in letters of red:
"What is Home Without Mother?"
Across the room was another brief:
"God Bless Our Home"
Now what's the matter with "God
Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire, boils an egg, grabs his
dinner pail and wipes off the dew of
the dawn with his boots while mother
is sleeping. He makes the weekly
handout of the butcher, the grocer,
the milkman, and baker, and his
little pile is badly worn before he has
been home an hour. He stands off
the bailiff and keeps the rent paid.
If there is a noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made
to go downstairs to find the burglar
and kill him. Mother darius the socks,
but dads buys the socks in the first
place, and the needles and the yarn
afterward. Mother does up the fruit;
well, but dad buys it, and jars and
sugar cost like the mischief.
Dad buys chickens for the Sunday
dinner, carves them himself, and
draws the neck from the ruins after
everyone else is seryed. "What is
home without mother?" Yes, that is
all right, but, "What is home without
father?" Ten chances to one it is a
boarding house, father is undera slat
and the landlady is the widow. Dad
here's to you; you've got your faults
you may have lots of 'em-but we
will miss you when you're gone.
To the above may properly be
added the question of kindergarten
teacher to her class: "What an
imal supplies you with food and
leather for your shoes?" and the re
ply of a bright little boy, "Father." y
