Cameron Water.


With yellow fever rampant in New
Orleans, and typhoid fever much in evil
dence in Alexandria, the city's water
supply has acquired its usual summer
bad taste and smell. Last year the
same condition. prevailed, and after
blaming the contamination on polluted
sources of supply, and threatening to
place armed guards at all the streams so
that the sunny sons of Italy could not
indulge in their weekly or monthly alb
lutions, it was finally discovered that
the trouble lay right in the reservoirs
themselves. A luKuriant growth OF weeds
was found seienely growing in the reser-
yoirs, nurtured by the tender care and
protected by the fatherly protection OF
the water company officials. Public
opinion, famed to white heat, finally
compelled the company to clean the
reservoirs. II conditions continue, a
high license in Alexandria will be favor
ed, even by those who are most directly
interested, for sill the people will of ne
cessity be compelled to forego water fol
stronger beverage. 1t is said that the
water company has an iron-clad charter,
but even this fact cannot prevent theil
being forced to comply with the duties
of a quasi-public corporation. 1t il
about time that the citizens OF the city
we're taking a hand in the matter.

That Richmond Primary.

'Eighty-fve citizens of Richmond have
signifed their willingness to serve, with
out compensation, as judges and clerks
if a new primary is ordered TO correct the
now evident frauds in the one of few
weeks ago. letter to that effect has
been addressed to the city democratic
committee, but it is not likely that any
action will be taken until the special
grand jury, which is investigating the
late primary, has completed its work.
Mr.. w. l.. Royal, has been retained
by certain citizens to prosecute those re-
sponsibe for the fraud in the primary,
and strenuous efforts will be made to dis
cover and severely punish all the guilty
parties.
The grand jury is experiencing some
trouble in ascertaining from the voters
for whom they cast their ballots. Some
of them, though not many, refuse abso-
lutely TO answer the question, while some
Others profess to be unable to remember.
Others, it is said, have been coached 10y

know our city was as no other; only o

and although our preachers were taken
from their pulpit, and our citizens rode
on cars-can you remember one man
who even in those trying times denied
