BIG SPRING At CONEY.
Good. FIo7c Of Fresh Water Found
almost on the Beach,.

The discovery Of pure drinking water less than
ten feet from the surface of the beach at Henry's
Walk. at Coney Island. a welcome surprise to
the business men. who have suffered greatly since
the supply of water in the mains reduced be
cause of the threatened famine. The spring. which
was struck in the of Henry's bathing pavilion.
is said TO be capable OF supplying enough water
for three bathing establishments. 1la-inch pipe
was driven through the sand less than fifty feet
from the high water mark, and, TO the surprise OF
the engineers, pure water forced to the surface
Further tests showed that supply could be had
as fast as the pumps could be worked. A sample
of the newly found sent to the navy
yard at Brooklyn for analysis. In drinking water
OF the Sheepshead Bay supply and that coming
from the recently discovered stream it is difficult
10 note the difference.
Steam pumps were set to work, and several hun
dred gallons a day first drawn up. Yester-
day the machinery increased that ample
supply could be had
Several years ago stream of pure water was
discovered Sea Gate, when men engaged in
constructing houses got their supply from the sub
terranean now. The place lost and further
attempts to get pure water there proved fruitless
Experiments have been carried on in several places
since then, but nowhere have they proved so sue
cessful as that OF a few days ago.
The width of the stream is estimated at from
zen 70 frteen rect Four borings were made before
the engineers struck clear water. Another attempt
was then made. with a view of obtaining a con
slant flow of drinking water This successful
in less thar hour after the first signs atpr
were had hand pump was then placed over the
spot, which was later supplanted by a steam pump.
The water runs freely and is forced through pipes
to a hotel more than three hundred yards away
Until word has been received from the anaIyzers
at the navy yard the water will be used for wash
ing and cooking only, although work in the
places where the supply has been installed drink

COMMITTEE BACK TO-DAY
To Continue "Handmching for
Counsel IN Insurance Investigation.

Senators Armstrong and Tuy and Assem-
blyman Rogers arc expected back IN town this
morning to renew their Manipulating of men
available as counsel to the Equitable insurance
investigation committee.
With counsel still undecided and an IN
terval of at least two weeks, and possibly
month. necessary between the actual employ
ment OF counsel and the opening of the pub
lie inquiry, it is entirely improbable that the
first public session will be held before next
month.
The general committee is not expected back
before the middle of the week. when the sub
committee will report the results of its investi-
cations.
According TO last nights rumors, the commit
tee has received word that certain life insur-
ance companies fearful of injurious dsclos-
ures. are manipulating their accounts against
the hour of the investigation. and that still other
companies are looking TO have the scope of the
inquiry unduly confined
Reports TO the contrary Notwithstanding the
any knowledge to whether the Equitable or
some other insurance society will first come
under investigation.
The general opinion that the Equitable will be
the first is largely grounded on the of
sworn testimony available the basis for an
inquiry.
1t seems to be realized however. that the
committees horizon will be largely colored by
its choice Of counsel. Meanwhile an expression
from Charles f. Hughes as to his consideration
as possible counsel is awaited with little
interest by friends in this city.

Must Stand Together.

Taking the cue from the con.
vention at New Orleans, South
ern newspapers have endorsed the
plan of reducing the cotton acre
age and they are giving wide pubs
licity to the efforts of the farmers
to control the situation in the
future. In this matter the press
can be of inestlmable value to the
South. The future welfare of the
people depends upon united action
and If we hope to accomplish the
aims desired it is absolutely neces
sary for the planters to stand to-
gether. They must abide by the
agreement. They must cut the
cotton acreage 25 per cent, they
must buy less fertilizers, and they
must go in for diversified farming
on q more elaborate scale. The
association idea must spread to
every township and hamlet, and
if the men who produce the money
crop will not throw away the op-
portunity they will reap full bene-
fit and profit from their labors in
the fall. To further carry out
the movement in behalf of the
farmers, 1t is important to hold n
part of the present crop, refusing
to throw 1t on the market at prices
far below the actual cost of pro-
duction. The leading "bear"
speculator in New York, who
would become "bull" tomorrow,
if that would help to fill his pock-
cts with gold, is sending out fans
ing advertisements, urging the
producers to sell before the mark
ct is driven down to five cents. 1t
is not safe to regard what he says,
but 1t is safe to JON in with the
majority of Southern people who
are just beginning to show the
master hand. -Greenville News.

more IN the way Of puttig the re.
sponsibihty on others than on the
planters Themselves, aud little, if
anything, was accomplished. The
New Orleans meeting, however
made the production of the sta
pie practically the solo object of
Its assemhlage, and the result wilt
be watched witch interest. When
the next convention meets Mt Ashe
willie in August it will doubtless
receive reports that will show ac-
tually what has been accomplished
toward the 25 per cent. reduction
of the area devoted to the staple.
1t is un undertaking of vast pro
portion, but one which can be car
ried out if the farmers stick to-
gether on the two propositions
presented. Charlotte Observer.

The action of the New Orleans
convention as shown 10y the full
reports of its proceedings printed
during its session and since it's adj
journment, was most conservative.
AS pointed out by The Times. De-
mocrat, it did not waste time in
condemnlng dealing in futures,
and other things over which the
farmers had no control, but went
directly at the question of acreage
and use of fertilizer. There is
where the planters can act ef-
fectively; can, If they desire, abso-
lutely control the price of cotton,
at least so far as keeping it at a
fair price rs concerned, and it is
agreeable to see them working to
to that end. The deliberations of
former conventions have been
