Tn Bristol the friends of General Dwight of Hartford, who is out to se- cure the nomination for congressman against Mir Henry of Rockville, have become very active and will try to se- cure a delegation favorable to the Hartford man. The only thing which lies in their path is that Congressman Henry procured large appropriation for post office in Bristol and the people have not forgotten it.

AUGUSTA Ca. March -. 19nS.
Prohibition would have been success
in Augusta if the authorities of Aiken
county, S. c.. had not set up a dispensary
at the end of the passenger bridge over
the Savannah river, which connects North
Augusta in South Carolina with the city
of Augusta, Ga. Before the law went into
effect on the first of January, last. there
were seventy-five saloons in the city prop
er. including twenty-five tirst-class bar
rooms situated in the business section
upon the more important streets. The re-
mainder were grogseries in the manufac-
ceries chiefly patronized by the colo.e
population. All of them have been closed
up. Several have been transformed into
restaurants and billiard saloons, in which
sCda-Water and other soft drinks are sold
over the bar where hard drinks were for
merly dispensed. Several have closed al
together and the rooms have been rented
for other purposes. There has been no at
tempt on the rart of any of the more
prominent saloon keepers to violate the
law. Everybody agrees that they have ac-
cepted 1t and are o5eying ii in good faith.
But some of the small joints are run ''on
the sly The police are very active in
watching the blind tigers and public
sentimen, sastaHns them. Although there
is a very animated local political fight

What Prohibition Has Cost.

The state of Georgia collected So42 900
in licenses and has lost that revenue by
the enactment of the prohibition law.
The different counties and municipalities
have lost. according to the best estimates
altogether about a million dollars. which
must be made up by special taxation. and
the national government has lost about
SSSO,US from a tax. of 81 10 a gallon upon
liquors manufactured within the state.
1t is claimed by those VINO are opposed
TO prohibition that more than :aHD men
have been thrown out Of employment:
that more than S3.D3OGO0 OF capital is
idle or has been compelled to seek other
investments and that not less than half
million dollars was sacrificed by the
forced sale of stocks On hand in the Sa-
looms and barrooms when the law went
into effect.
1t is also claimed that more than $3.50. Hto
a month is being expended for liquor out
side of the state by the people of Georgia
and shipped in by express. The prohibi
ton law has made vacant not less than
a thousand buildings which were used
for the sale Of liquor and has deprived
the owners of the property of the rental;
that a large number OF people have left
the state and that an unknown number of
foreigners have been prevented from COM
ing in because they will not live in any
community where they are not able 10
have wine and beer and other liquors to
which they have been accustomed at
home. These are some of the arguments
that being used by the opponents OF
the liquor law.

AT PUMPING STATION
MEMBERS OF SOCIETY OF EN-
GINEERS VISIT THE PLANT.

Members of the Washington Society of
Engineers visited the magnificent new
humping station of the District, n and
BRYANT streets northwest. last evening
and for a couple of hours the hundred or
more engineers suarmed through the
plant. watched the big pumps working
slowly and noiselessly and learned how
the city is supplied with its water, with
strong pressure.
Methods of detecting and preventing the
waste of water We're discussed by W. A.
Mcfarland superintendent of tn" District
water department, in Il talk preliminary
10 the inspection trip through the plant
He first described the instrument which
is used for making the tests. After Il
needle has been pul into the water main
il is connected with an apparatus III
which the height of liquid III a tube
varies according y the flow az the water

the use of water affects the flow in tie

closed in n box IN which the tube Is at
tached. BY means of this pitometer. ii
was explained. the wate" that is going
out of the main, either FOR Use or for
waste. is measured.
NJ Mcfarland then explained that the
apparatus is used at night. when the
necessary use OF water is small. If the
apparatus shows much use of water, il is
concluded that there is waste somewhere
and by cutting off one branch of the main
line after another the place Of the waste
can be determined and the waste largely
prevented
Cause of Waste.

Geo. Mr. Mcfarland stated that he thinks
the money paid for making the tests was
well spent
when some people come in to pay
their water bills they seem to think that
water should be as free as air Mr. Nc
Farland remarked To make water free
here would triple the expense of main
tanning the system, make necessary the
building Of another conduit at once and
the doubling of the filtration plant and
the cost per capita would be four time s
what it is now / don't believe they
would like free water
Installation of Meters
The installation of meters, the speaker
added, has also prevented much waste of
water. About 1000 meters have been in
stalled in residences and about 5000 in
business houses to date. AS to how this
has reduced the use Of water. helstated

There IS no question or dispute to
the decrease in the number of arrests or
tn" amount of fines collected at the po-
lice court or the number of persons sent
to the chain gang. Indeed. one of the
arguments against prohibition. as I told
you the other day. is that the enforce
ment of the liquor law deprives the city
government of the services of Migrants
anu drunkards in keeping the streets
clean and in doing other public work
for which men have to be hired at the
