The mass meeting held at the
court house last night demonstrated
Z n the opinion of the Record that the
Business men of the city are general
Ey in favor of the water works fran
5ehise in so far as it relates to fire
protection, and are satisfied that the
RATES for fire hydrants are not eX-
|orbitant 1t was also made apparent
|tnat the schedule rates to private
consumers need explaining. but no
|one present was able to make them
has clear as they should be.
The meeting was called to order
|by Lucius Dills. and R. S. Hamilton
was elected chairman. The newspaper
men present were made secretaries.
|To refresh the memories of those
present, Mr. pills by request read
|the proposed water franchise in full
MIR. Hamilton declared the meeting
kopen for discussion Judge F. Will
|iams was the first to respond. After
Talking awhile on municipal owner
|ship. a question aside from the issue,
Mr.. Williams referred to the fact
THAT the people generally do not un-
|derstand the proposed franchise, and
admitted that he was in the same fix.
He also feared that the promoters
might be trying to get the franchise
merely for speculative purposes with
no intention OF building the water
plant themselves.
City Engineer Dills stated that he
had been present at every meeting of
question was discussed. and he knew
il to be fact that every member OF
the council was in favor of municipal
ownership if that were possible The
first step taken had been to get an
EXPERT to look over the situation and
ting In a municipal water plant. Mr..
Dills as city engineer had spent two
DAYS going over the ground with the
expert. His estimate for a municipal
water system not nearly so complete
as the one contemplated in the pres
ent franchise, was $4,000 1t would
certainly cost not less than one hun
air-ad thousand dollars to put in the
system provided for in the franchise.
The best legal talent of the city had
expressed the opinion that the city
could not in addition to her present
Indebtedness issue more than fifty
thousand dollars of bonds to build
a waterworks plant. Then it was de
termined that the only thing possi-
BILE was to secure propositions from
private companies or corporations to
put in plant, and get the best con-
tract possible. The present franchise
was by no means the same PROPOSE
tion Reynolds & Chipley had submit
ted. The present franchise had been
drawn by the city attorney as com
promise, and had been investigated
and thoroughly discussed day after
nay and night after night by a com
mittee of the council, business men

company There was no -nigger In

great terror, their faces being con-
vulsed with fear Three bodies were
! found in the confessional at one of
the fallen churches One body, that
of an old woman, was sitting with
the right arm raised as though to

years old, was found in position

Pliny declares that diamond was
so hard that if placed on an anvil and
struck with a sledge hammer it would
give back a blow of such force as to
SILVER both anvil and hammer to
pieces. Another of his wonderful tales
states that ION the shore Of the island
of Cyprus there was a stone lion hav-
ing eyes formed of emeralds, which
shone so brightly that all the fishes
were ingloriously frightened away. The
fishermen accordingly pulled the emer-
aids out and put in glass eyes instead
whereupon the wise fishes became
bolder and returned to their accustom
