Rock HILL, October 13.-The Water,
Light and Power Co., Of this city VIII
begin In a few days the sinking OF an
other deep we'll to increase their water
supply. For sometime the pressure In
the mains has been low and there was
considerable complaint, The council
put a committee to work on the mat
ter and they have met with nothing
but pleasantness In their dealings
with the Water, Light and Power peo-
pie. The latter say the cause Of the
low pressure Is from an tnehioient
pump and they have an expert at work
night and day now to remedy this,
The decision to sink another well Is
demand on the part Of consumers ana
also in anticipation Of the very large
increase which the installation Of sew
erage would call for, An expert hy-
draulic engineer will locate the new
we'll. This company Is also disposed
| to work with the city In the matter OF
draining the lowland In the immediate
vicinity Of the reservoir and power
plant.
There has been considerable talk re-
Gently about the purity Of the water
being furnished by the Water, Light
and Power Co., and the officials Of that
company are naturally interested IN
showing that the water supply Is as 1t
should be. While not a true artesian
| we'll the one from which the city is
supplied is quite deep, 1t Is, to be ex-
act, 315 feet deep and was drilled
through tough pipe clay and rock,
With such condition there should be
very little II any danger in the water
becoming impure. The company has
had four analyses made, two Of which
| were this year, one In July and one In
| September. All of which show the wa
| ter to be pure and safe.
Mr.. ]. Boyd Creighton Of the Rock

most substantial farmers, who resides

McCuen of the Baptist church, his

There Is practically no cotton being
sold here as the farmers are resolved
| to hold to the 10 cent? limit. AS o
matter of fact only small proportion
of the cotton of this section would be
sold at even that figure. Most OF the
farmers hereabout want II cents and
they are pretty near In a position 10
hold their product until that price
Is obtained.
