magnificent undertaking ever attempt

NEW WATER
RESOURCES
Works Being Advanced
at Waikiki and
Kalihi.

Work was being pushed yesterday in
connecting the Pahoa pumping station
with the Kaimuki reservoir upon The Y
main branching respectively to that
receptacle and to the Diamond Head
reservoir. This work will dispense with
the old main connecting the pump with
the Kaimuki reservoir when the works
were bought by the Government. Wa
ter was shut off for the day, notice hav-
ing been given to consumers.
Excavations are yet to be made for
the Diamond Head reservoir connecting
main, but the work will Immediately
follow the completion of the Kaimuki
branch When the entire system comes
into operation, the Honolulu water sit
uation will be considerably relieved.
Kern & Lishman, whose bid was low

competitors, have been awarded the
contract for constructing the Kalihi
reservoir. AS previously reported the
price is $685. 900 and the time 100 days.
The site is to the rear of Kamehameha

not dry eye in the large audience.
The body was laid to rest by the

The Sumter hospital Company Organizes.

We noticed in these columns recently
the formation of a new hospital COM
pany in this city. Books were opened
on August 9Th and the majority OF the
stock was. subscribed by Drs. Ba-
ker, China, Cheyne and Stuckey. At
a meeting of these gentlemen on Mon
Gay afternoon at DR.. Bakers office the
company was legally organized by the
election of the following board OF di-
rectors:
President, S. c. Baker: Vice Presi-
dent, Archie China; Secretary, II. NJ.
Stuckey, and Treasurer, Walter
Cheyne.
Another meeting was held yesterday
afternoon to discuss and approve the
plans of the architect, Mr.. D. G..
Zeigler.
lis anticipated that work will be
begun on the new building not later
than the middle of next month, and
that it will be ready fer occupation by
the first of the coming year.
The building, it is expected, will be
constructed of artificial stone, will be
three and a half stories high, will ex
tend some sixty feet on Calhoun street
and ninety or one hundred on Sumter
street. This lot is beautifully and
centrally located. but is sufficiently
retired to secure the necessary quiet.
The building will be an ornament to
the city, and the Institution will be
the largest of it's kind in this section
of the state.

WORKING Foa THE CARNIVAL.
Committee Of City Council Meet and Dis
cuss Carnival Plans.

The Committee of Aldermen appoint
ed by City Council by request of
Mayor G. W. Dick, to confer with the
business men and other citizens in re-
gard to the proposed Game Cock Car
nival, met on Monday evening at
City Clerks Office. Present, Chair
man G. G. Rowland, and Messrs. R..
K. Wilder and Harry Hood. Alder
man P. P. Finn was ont Of the city.
There were also present City Recorder
G. NJ. Hurst, Alderman r. F. Hayns-
worth, Health Officer E. I. Rear
don was present by request of
the committee, to represent citizens
interested in getting up the carnival:
Chairman Rowland and Messrs. Hood
and Wilder were of the opinion
that while the committee from City
Council, and in fact the City Council,
were in favor of the carnival, and
would individually interest them
selves, still it was the concensus OF
opinion that it was not exactly within
the province of City Council, as a
body, to take the initial steps. towards
starting the carnival.
Mr.. Reardon was invited to aGdress
the committee, and stated that the
citizens taking the lead in regard to
the proposed carnival, which vas
fist suggested by the editor of the
Daily Item, Mr.. II. G. Osteen, did
not contemplate City. Council taking
official action, as a body, to start off
the carnival, but as all of the members
of Council are representative business
men, in the absence of any active
business organization, like business
league, it was desired that Council
would endorse the proposition
to hold the carnival, which endorse
ment from such representative body,
would, it was felt, give weight to the
movement. He had interviewed mem
bers of the two hose reel squads, the
Second Regiment Band, and num-
Der of business men and other citizens,
and it was quite evident that the car
nival was a very popular proposition,
and only needed some prominent citi-
iZens to start the work, which he
thought could best be done By calling
a mass meeting to discuss the matter,
as has been the custom heretofore in
taking preliminary steps il such mat
ters. The matter was thoroughly dis.
cussed Alderman Haynsworth and
City Recorder Hurst expressed them
selves as approving the proposition te
hold a carnival. The matter was final.
ly disposed of by the members of the
committee agreeing to consult with as
many business men as they coulo
conveniently, and the committee re-
quested Mr. Reardon to consult witt
Hon. Altamont Moses, President o!
the Business League, which was or
ganized some years ago, and request
President Moses to issue call for {
mass meeting to be signed by such
parties as be deemed best or to bt
! called by Mr.. Moses as President O.
the Business League. 1t was agreed
that the wishes of greater number o
citizens could be had and in mucl
less time at mass meeting than by {
canvass of the city. Alderman P. P
| Finn sent word that be was heartll,
in iavor of the carnival and will do al
he can to make it success.

meetings was hsld in the Court House

tically the same ground and outlined
the same platforms as at previous

Mr.. Henry C. McKagen explained
his position on lynch law somewhat
more fully than he did at Dalzell. He
said that he was not an advocate OF
lynch law for all o6eDses but for the
crime of rape be does favor lynchlng
and would head a mob to avenge the
wrong to a member of bis own family
or of q member of any friends family.
He stands for the protection of home,
and believes that for rape lynch law is
the remedy.
County Supervisor Scale in few
words, referred to the terrible ano
greatly to be deplored tragedy at
Providence by which Richard G. Folk
lost his life. He said that no ene
could possibly feel greater regret than
be does, that TO one sympathizes more
deeply or sincerely with the widowed
mother, the brothers and sisters OF
the unfortunate young man. He felt
himself blameless and in no wise re-
sponsible for. the sad affair, that when
he went out Of bis house Thursday
he was unarmed and without the
least idea that there would be any an
pleasantness difficulty, and the resnlt
was not of his seeking.

ment which he felt was due himself

of reports that are being circulated
for political purposes. He said that

the Office until be was notified CT the
occurrence at Providence and that ne

ed up and proceeded to Providence to
make an investigation as his duty re-
quired. That on the way to Provi-
dence he had meet Mr. Scale in the
rouad, who asked him if be was going

Base Ball.

In response to letters sent out CON-
cerning the formation of six-corner
ed base ball league for next summer,
Mr.. c. W. Wheeler has received some
very encouraging replies from Mccall,
Florence and Cheraw. All of these
towns are yerr anxious to enter the
proposed leagre and Mr.. Wheeler has
been assured tt at every effort will be
exerted by the business men Of the
above mentioned places to organize a
strong team.
A coed ball team is the best adver-
tisement that town can possibly
have; nothing can give it more prom
ineace 1r is better able to attract the
attention of the public. If Sumter
can put OFT successful team next
season, every merchant in town will
profit by it; the hotels will surely
come in for their share Of the benefits,
and the public will be afforded very
fscinating amusement at a nominal
cost.
1t would require not ,,over seven
hundred dollars a month to meet the
expenses of the team; and, as the
t. ans are so close to one another,
transportation, which is generally
such large item in the larger leagues
will be of secondary consideration.
With an attendance of only 300 day
at twenty-five and thirty. five cents
ticket, the expnses could be more than
paid, and the stockholders will have
made paying investment.
1t is to be hoped that the plans will
meet with the hearty co-opertion of
all the good citizens of Sumter, by
this tine next year, they may notice
with pleasure the beneficial results Of
the Game Cock City's perna1t
winning ball tossers.
