Ruildine mn Bennett.

Bennettsville, Specialize board
Of public works for Bennettsville
has let the contract for water works
to Messrs. Abee G. Edwards, of FIick-
cory. N. C. The contract amounts to
nearly $4,000 and provides for about
six miles of work. The water supply
will be obtained from wells to be
sunk on the lot on which is situated
the power house. The plan provides
not for deep well, but for q, suf-
ficient number of wells from so to
100 feet deep to supply the town with
water. This plan was adopted on
account of the splendid water to be
obtained from such wells and also
on account of the uncertainty of the
deep we'll in this section. The stand
pipe will be erected on the site LOW
occupied by the market, which is on
the northwest corner of the Court
House square near the centre of the
business portion of the town. 1t will
be about $50 feet high and have a
capacity of 100000 gallons or more.
