1t is estimated that between $4,000
and $4,000 will be saved from the APP
preparation for the waterworks this
year. And the appropriation is about
$1,000 less this year than for 1903, it

of the chairman of the committee.
While coal and water are both being
saved, the amount of revenue that the
city receives from the department is
steadily increasing. About $4,000 has
been paid into the treasury this year

NO FOUL PLAY
IN DROWNING CASE,
Post MOrtem Was Held and COrO-
ner's Jury Made Investigation.

ner's Jury Made investigation.
At the inquest to inquire into the
cause of death of William Houston,
who was drowned in the river last
Wednesday, it was shown that the man
had been drinking heavily just before
he went down to get into his boat.
There was no eye witness to the
drowning, and it was thought for a
time that there had been foul play. For
that reason Coroner Keller held a post
norton examination, and empaneled
jury to investigate the cause of death.
There was absolutely no evidence be-
fore the jury yesterday afternoon, how
ever, to substantiate the foul play the
Dry and a verdict to the effect that
Houston had come to his death from
accidental drowning was returned. The
negro was drunk and probably fell
overheard as he got into the boat. The
boat had not been taken from the land
ing at all.
Cato Simmons testified that he had
been with Houston for several hours
just before he started to his boat He
was drinking whisky steadily, accord
ingly to Simmons. In the post NOR
tenn examination DIR. Keller found no
signs of foul play. After hearing the
evidence and the statement from the
coroner in regard to his examination,
the verdict of accidental drowning was
returned.
Houston lived at Hilton Head. He
came to Savannah Tuesday, spent the
night here and started back early We'd
nesday morning from the foot of Bar
nard street. He fell overheard at the
market landing. His body was recov-
cred Friday at the foot of Whitaker

stated That He Did Not Wish to
Discuss His Case.

Discuss His Case.
On the eve of his last Sunday on
earth Willie Calvin refused absolutely
to see any newspa permen or to discuss
his case yesterday.
A representative of the Morning
News called at the Jail and
asked to see Calvin. The message that
some one was waiting in the office for
him was taken to the condemned ne
gro, but contrary to his usual custom
he refused to be seen, or to discuss his
case at all
Heretofore Calvin has been very
ready to talk and has seemed anxious
to have his constant reiteration of his
innocence kept before the public. As
the time for his execution approaches,
however. he takes the opposite posi-
ton and refuses to discuss the matter
at all unless it is with his ministerial
friends. The negro will be hanged on
Friday morning.
The Jail officials state that as far as
they have noticed there is no change
in Calvin's demeanor nor does he APP
pear downcast, despite the fact that
he has but five more days to live. He
cats as heartily as ever and apparent
~ sleeps well. The only statement that
he will make with reference to him
self is that he is prepared to die and
that he is not guilty of the murder of
Rosa Pace
This morning Rev. J. A Smith. as
sistant pastor of Trinity Methodist
Church, will hold a religious service at
the Jail. Calvin has attended all the
previous religious services and will at
tend the one this morning. This will be
his last religious service with the ex-
ception of any that may be held for
his especial benefit just before the
hanging.

welcome assistance yesterday which

buttons.
Mrs. Nat Harrison. whose interest in
similar movements has contributed in a
large measure to their success. called
on Mr.. Gardner yesterday and ex-
pressed a willingness to aid in the dis
position of the buttons. While no
specific plans We're arranged, Chair
man Gardner received the tender with
joy and has already begun to devise
ways in which Mrs. Harrison can lead
the movement to interest the fair sex
in the building of the auditorium.
Another pleasing announcement was
received by the committee from Mr..
Harvey Granger, of the Granger
Stubs Lumber Company, who sent
word that he would at once purchase
a sufficient number of buttons to
equip his entire force.
Each member of the committee who
has entered into the work of selling
the buttons has reported very salts
factory results and it is expected that
during the coming week their sale will
become greatly increased, and that ev-
cry patriotic citizen will buy one.

DO YOU
LIVE IN
GREENVILLE
If You Don't You Are Missing
Many City Conveniences
CITY is GROWING RAPIDLY
And at the Rate She is Progressing
Will Soon Rank Among the
First Cities in the South

That Grcenville is fast becoming a
real city is noticed by every visi-
tor that enters within its gates. To-
day it has the conveniences of cit
les ten times its size. 1t possesses
one of the best water works plants
in the country and the water it sup
plies is a giver of health. The water
works is owned by the city and the
low rate charged enables every home
to be supplied with it. The city has
sewerage also, but about only half of
the houses are connected.
AS to lights, two electrical COM
panies, the Delta Electric Light,
Power & Manufacturing Co., and
the Greenville Light & Car Co.,
have city franchises and the compe-
tition brings the rate down very low.
These companies each own street
car line and any part of the city can
be reached for five cents. There is
now under erection, with many of
the mains laid, gas plant, the pro-
perty of the Greenville Gas & Coke
Co., which will also prove a great
convenience to the city in furnish
ing lights and fuel for cooking pur-
poses. This will, as it has in all cit
les, greatly tighten the burden Of our
women who have to do their own
cooking on account of the lack OF
servants. The gas plant will be in
operation by December 10th.
The paved streets, which are about
completed at cost of $4,000, are
also being commented GU by every
one and makes Greenville appear as
proud as the small boy in his first
pair OF long pants. From the talk
on the streets the pavinv of our bust
ness streets is but the beginning oil a
movement that in few years will
result in the paving Of all the prin-
cipal streets Of the city. If this
proves true, watch the city grow.
Another necessary enterprise Tor
the entertainment of city is its
opera house, and no city of our size
can boast of more complete play
house than the one we have, nor is
any city of our city visited by any
finer attractions than Greenyille, or
at less prices.
AS to Accommodations, the Hotel
Cowan affords the guest convenien-
ces and accommodations of the great
hostleries of Memphis, Atlanta or
New Dreams. AS a reward the Cowan
is filled with guests most of the time
Greenville has no better advertise
ment than this hotel, and to Messrs.
Turner and Smith, the enterprising
proprietors, our people have been
very grateful.
Now last, but not least, comes the
city's churches, which are receiving
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1904-12-03

the hands of the Christian people
a great deal of attention at the hands
of the Christian people. The Metho-
dist, Presbyterian and Christian de-
nominations have erected within the
past year modern edilces, while the
next year the Baptist, Catholic and
Hebrew congregations will each erect
handsome places of worship Con-
tracts have been let for three new
cost of $4,000, which shows that
those who may come here can get
the advantages of as fine schools as
are found in the State.
In conclusion there is no doubt
in the mind of any man or woman
that in the span of five more years
with all the city conveniences enum-
Grated above, and with blocks Of sue
cessful business houses, and citizen
ship composed of congenial and en-
terprsing people, and with two rail-
roads and river facilities, that Green
Vile will double its present popula-
ton.
