movement toward the solution of some
of the great problems related to social
and industrial progress; to provide for
study and discussion of questions of
national import; to aid thus in the

The defense viii certainly make a mo-

cases come on to be heard. Whether the
motion is sustained or not is entirely
optional with Judge Smith. If such a
showing is made as convinces the judge
that the men cannot be tried fairly by
a Canyon county jury. ana not other

Then viii come the question as to what
part of the state the cases should be

observer it looks as if Canyon county
would be as good q place as any that

The grand jury is, of course, entirely

continued the governor, 'I have no
doubt he would be treated fairly by
the state.
Those who took part in the arrests
did so from a sense OF duty; they were
friends of Governor SteunenOerg and
of law and order. Not one Of the de-
tectives can claim anything because
they are all employed by the state at
regular salaries for the time being.
Under the terms of their employment
it was necessary for them in the Inc
of their duty to secure evidence and
to make such arrests as the evidence
warranted. The only reward out
standing is that for J. L. Simpkins,
amounting to 81 200. Simpkins has
not been appTehended."
Fair Play Is Asked.
All of the chief attorneys in the case
insist that they want only justice
done. Chief Counsel Richardson has
said repeatedly that if the state has
a bona fide case against his clients, if
1t can be shown that they conspired
and confederated together to kill
Steunenberg, they cannot be hanged
too highly or too quickly to suit him.
II must ask, however, that the state
prove the men guilty, not that the
men prove themselves innocent. The
fact that the life of former Governor
Steunenberg was taken by a bomb is
not in itself sufficient evidence on
which to hang Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone."
Colonel James H. Hawley, chief
counsel for the prosecution, takes a
similar stand except that Colonel
Hawley says he is satisfied, from the
evidence at hand, that the men are

evidence, aside from the neager sy-
nopsis of the confessions of Adams

are carried out, until the actual hear
ing has been begun. Both confessions
are said to be very voluminous. The
confession of Orchard, according to re-
ports contains about $4,000 words, md
that of Adams contains even more.
AS to a Fair Trial.

Among the many good things in
Newberry there is none better. than
our system of water works and elec-
tric lights. The Herald and News
remembers very we'll how often and
constantly i'll the years gone by it
talked water and lights for the town.
How most gratifying it was when the
plants were installed. There were
those who did not believe that water
could be procured on account of the
granite which runs through this Sec
tlon of the state. The we'll is three
hundred feet deep and goes through
solid granite after about ten feet
from the surface. The supply of wat
er from the first well was abundant
at the time, but during the last year,
in order to be on the safe side, the
commissioners decided ITO sink an
other we'll. This was done near the
first one and with the same depth.
The supply is ample now for all pur-
poses for many years to come and one
well does not interfere with the other.
The capacity of the two is $4,000
gallons for twenty-four hours.
III addition to the abundant supply
the water is known not cnly in New
berry, but elsewhere as very pure
and excellent quality The analysis
is given herewith, and really SO far as
a pure and coed water is concern
ed, it is net necessary that any cit
liens of Newberry should go else
where.
-, The electric light plant is not en-
ea!!"A'by any anywhere else. and dur
in2 the ten wears of its existence. the
tCwn has net been without lights lis
long as Cne hour. In fact: ii seems
to be as near perfect as it is posi-
bic for plant of this kind to be.
... The greatest thing for the town,
however, was when the commission
ers decided to put on a day current
This not only gives us lights if we
want them, but permits the use of
; fans and motors for small enterprises.
Already there are sixty horse power
taken from the plant for printing Of
fees, knitting mills, planning mills
and such small enterprises. 1t lis
not only a source Of income but is a
great convenience and saving to those
j. enterprises which need small power.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-07-10

1t is convenient and always ready,
and is more economical than gaso-
line engines or steam engines for small
enterprises.
The capacity Of the present plant
is $500 incandescent lights and rs
arc lights. There are now in use 70 of
the street lights, and $500 0incandescent
lights besides the sixty horse power in
motors.
AS to water the stand pipe holds
100000 gallons and the reservoir
10000 gallons. The consumption of
water at present is about 100000 gal
Ions per day.
The pressing need is for another
pump for the new well and for more
engine and boiler power and then the
citizens could rest in security as :u
the supply of water in almost any
emergency for if the supply in the
standpipe became low or the demand
on ii great in ease of large fire the
two pumps could be put in service.

lands are fertile, farmers intelligent
and Industrious, and there is nothing
I" keep Newberry from being one of
the largest cities in the state except
that the business men should realize
what we have and then all get togcth-
er and pull together for the contin-
ual growth and development Of our
community.
In this connection it will be inter-
esting to the citizens and tax pay
ers of the city to have financial
statement giving brief history of
the water and electric light plant and
also what it has cost and what it is
worth and what the income will be
and the necessity of additional boiler
and engine power.
Ncwberry installed her water and
electric light plant in 1896, with two
engines; one of 100 horse power, one
Of 80 horse power, and two boilers Of
so horse power each, as the motor
power to do the pumping Of the water
from the 'artesian well up in the
stand pipe at an estimate of capa-
city of 10000 gallons per day and
furnish One thousand incandcscent
lights and fifty street are lamps.
These boilers and engines purchased
as the best on the market. have been in
continuous daily service without an
accident for ten years. But to supply
the demand for more water and lights
are now overloaded with thirty five
hundred incandesccnt lights and 70
street arc lights and the pumping Of
100000 gallons of water, besides
supplying during the day motor pow
er for several small electrical motors
and fans, etc. And the commissioners
have been for months considering
different propositions to increase the
power of the plant, so that no break
down might occur, and the city rest
in full security upon an abundant
supply of water and light. The deep
well Worthington pump originally
used, wore out two years ago
and was replaced by an air compress
sor pump. This, though giving us an
increased supply of water, now needs
companion pump for the new we'll
bored this year, which would place
our water supply beyond question, as
the new well promises fully as large
Il Flow as the old we'll.
Two years ago the commissioners
finding the lighting plant inadequate
to supply the town, bought new
plant for $G,5000O, which will carry
$500 incandescent lights and Is
street are lights. And as the town
could not furnish the money for a
cash purchase, the board agreed if
the town authorities would make
these notes for the amount they would
pay the notes upon maturity, out
of the revenue to be derived from
larger sales Of light and water. with
the great saving Of expense attend
ing the running of the new plant.
They have already paid two of these
notes and will be able to meet the
third note maturing this fall. amount
ing with interest to $2.000.00. The
board also this year had new well
bored at the cost of 81 10000. But
the pressing need AT this time is an
increase Of power plant. A 80
horse power engine and an aIdi-

this addition to the plant at once.
i With this amount of money, the wat
er and light plant can pay all running
expenses, pay this debt Of 100000
in three years, and continue to cN-
tend the water and light lines to meet
pressing necessities. And the board
with this statement, trusts that the
city and the citizens will see the ad-
vantagcs as we'll as the necessities for
this work to be done at once. For
the city has the best water in the
state, as fine light plant as can be
found anywhere. The citizens are
paying only an average cost for lights
and water while in the past year from
the revenue from light and water,
five thousand dollars has been applied
to the payment of notes for electric
light plant, and extensions in the wat
er, light and sewer system.
This system of light and water,
costing the city an expenditure of
$42 100000 could not be replaced for
$60,OO0.0O and will this year show a
net income OF over %5,000.00, and in
three years with an expenditure to-
day of T7,0O0.00 that will all be paid
back III that time, will from an out
lay of $42,00000 have net income Of
probably $7,00o.00 and property
worth $40, 600. .00-So much for eco
nomical municipal management.
