The glorious fourth was spent
by different people in different
ways. Old Hughey wanted to
spend his in Union City, Tenn,
and watch a sham battle, but could
get no one to go with him. He
spent the fourth laying by corn.
I am informed that a negro wo-
man was shot at negro picnic
near Lynchburg on the fourth
and negro man killed at a picnic
near Walls on the same day.
I begin to hear some of the
farmers talking about laying by
cotton. That means rest for old
Beck.

NOT TO PRIVATE YARDS
OPINION ON APPLICABILITY OF
THE EIGHT-HoUR LAW.

Attorney General Moody Is expected
shortly to forward to the Department Of
Justice from his summer home an impor-
tant opinion on the eight-hour law. The
opinion was prepared by Solicitor General
Hoyt upon questions submitted by the War
and Navy Departments. which are in trou-
BILE what to do. and has been sent on to Mr..
Moody for his approval or correction.
The opinion. it is believed. will not uphold
the contention that the law applies to work
in private yards or factories that Is being
done for the government. It Is not disputed
that the law applies to any government
work. but labor leaders now assert that It
should be applied to private ship yards con-
STRUGGLING battleships; to shoe factories ma
king shoes for the soldiers sailors and ma
rines: to the gun factories. powder fac
tories, etc. 1t Is practically certain that the
law department OF the government will
pronounce such an attitude an erroneous
one and limit the application of the law
solely to strictly government work, without
interfering with private concerns perform
ing contracts with the government.
1t Is said to be certain that before the
opinion Is returned here by the Attorney
General he will submit 1t TO President
Roosevelt, who has issued orders relative
to the eight-hour law, but who Is known to
have most determined view as to the all
legged encroachments of labor.

IN THE SOUTHERN SUBURBS.
Water Found at Depth of From IS
to $50 Feet.

The development of new suburbs on the
highlands south of the Potomac has been
accompanied by a largely increased demand
for pure water for drinking and household
supplies. As these settlements are stu
ated on the hilltops far above streams and
springs 1t might be thought that it would
be difficult to obtain good supply of water.
Messrs. NJ. L. Fuller and Samuel Sanford
Gently visited the region and ascertained
that in most instances water can be found
at depth of from % to 10 feet beneath
the surface. Although water, Is present in
large quantity 1t occurs in such a way that
only small supplies are usually obtained by
shallow-drilled wells. Open wells. however.
obtain abundant supplies, and IL properly
protected from contamination should an

never be located within 100 feet of OUT

made perfectly tight the polluted surface
water will be kept out. while the water
actually used can enter at the bottom. The
joints can be made tight by surrounding
the outside of the pipe at the joints with
several inches Of good hydraulic cement.
In the granite rocks conditions are fairly
promising for deep-driIled wells. These viii
usually find water within $50 feet OF the
surface, even on the hills, but well should
not be abandoned before depth of $50 feet
Is reached. 1t is not generally advisable.

worth. Many spent all their spare time I'M
the surf. Last night all of the cadets
paraded the boardwalk in single file, and
attempted. in their noisy way, 20 make an
impression upon the quiet Ocean city folks
that will last until the return to camp next

in order at the camp.

gone into service on the river. The new
engine of the little craft will drive her
through the water at speed of about
seven miles an hour.
The yacht Diane, which went out of COM
mission early in the season, is now lying on
the north side of the pier of the fire boat
all swathed in her winter covering of can
vas. 1t is stated that the boat will continue
out of service until next spring and will re-
main berthed at the fire boat pier until that
time.
