A TWO-FOLD
SOURCE OF WATER

1t will be news for many of our read
ers to learn that the water which sup
plies the hydrants of town is in no
small proportion the pure spring art
icle; that in the bottom of each well
in the river is strong and natural
fountain through which the water,
sparkling and clear, issues from the
depth of the earth, constituting a sup
ply, which if it were properly hus-
banded, would meet all the demands
of our water takers-thus giving them
coveted "spring water" without addi
tional expense or any inconvenience.
These facts were laid before rep
resentative of this paper by Water Com
missioner Edward German day or so
ago. Although it is interesting to note
the facts yet there is nothing in them
to encourage the belief that in future
years the water commissioners will
devise methods whereby the spring
water will be utilized to a greater eX-
tent than at present.
In the first place according to Mr..
German, under the wasteful methods
in vogue, the springs could not be re-
lied upon to supply the town; in the
second place the spring water is so
hard that river water, even if Of ques-
tionable purity, is to be preferred
The existence of the great springs in
the river bottom has been known of
from time immemorial. When the
water works were installed the wells to
supply the plant were sunk in the
river so as to utilize the great springs.
Up to a score or more years ago, Mr..
German says, the springs were relied
upon almost exclusively to supply the
town. The wells into which they flow
ed were covered, while the water from
the river that filtered through the sides
was found during the course of q year
to constitute negligible quantity.
All the river bed heIeahout is compOs-
ed of limestone and the spring water,
consequently contained so much min
eral substance that it was unfit for
many purposes. At this juncture the
wells were opened and water from the
river was permitted to flow in.
The steady expansion of the water
system since that time with unrestrict-
ed use OF water at this day makes it
impossible to supply the mains with
out leaving the wells open.
Mr. German states that he is confid-
ent that even now the water from the
springs would be found sufficient to
meet all demands if meters We're in
stalled on the watertakers' premises so
as to lead to greater economy in the
use of water. However, if the spring
water obtained in the river is SO hard
as described it would seem useless to
indulge in any spcculations as to its
additional use
The chief interest in the premises
seems to lie i'll the fact that, aside
from the current of the river, which
has always proved adequate, Danville
has an unfailing source of water I'M

RUNAWAY At
A FUNERAL

One of the most thrilling runaways

CURED about four o'clock Tuesday
afternoon as the funeral of the child
of Mr.. and Mrs Harry HiXsou,a diph-
liberia victim, was proceeding to Odd
Fellows cemetery. The runaway
horses collided with Il buggy and
smashed the rear wheel of the hearse,
after which they were brought under
control.
The funeral owing to the nature of
the disease was a private one and con
tanned hut a single cab, in which were
seated Mrs. HiXson, the mother of the
deceased child, and Mrs. John Grier
Voris at whose residence the child
died.
When the hearse and cab reached the
Bloom street crossing the p. m. pass
enger train had just stopped there.
The rear end of the train, however,
left the crossing clear. Mr.. Doster and

STOCK SOLUTION
OF THE SPRAYS

= Considerable interest is being shown
by Pennsylvania orchardists in the
matter of keeping on hand stock soluc-
tions of the different spraying mix
lures, for the sake of convenience, ac-
cording to letters received by Professor
HI. A. Surface, State zoologist, of
Pennsylvania, Harrisburg
Concerning these mixtures, Professor
Surface wrote to correspondent in
the city of Reading, who had request
cd information on the subject, as fol-
lows:
II would advise you against making
up stock solution of mixed Bord-
eaux. The best thing to do is to make
your concentrated bluestone solution
containing at least one pound of blue
stone i'll gallon of water, and keep.
ing your milk of lime Tor, in other
words, freshly slaked quick lime and
water) in another barrel, and stir
these up and put them together when
needed, rather than to mix them to-
gether now. Remember Bordeaux is
only for plant diseases and not for in
sects and it is much better when fresh
ly mixed
1.-THE lime-sulphur wash You can
make and keep as long as you wi h
and it will kill the scale. The only
point is to be sure there is enough dilu-
tiun before it gets cold to keep j t from
crystalli2ing. The commercial mat
erial does not crystalliZe.
"Tle kerosene emulsion you can
make by the formula in the June Bull
letin of the division of zoology, Har-
risburg, and keep it as long as you
wish in stock solution, and dilute it
when needed. In its concentrated CON
dition it is almost the same as the solu-
BILE oils now on the market. BY kero-
sene we mean the ordinary coal oil.

ture is a proprietary compound on the
market. 1t is no better and is more
expensive than that which YOU caI

ELKS ATTEND CHURCH

Some forty Elks, members of Dan

at the Shiloh Reformed church Sunday
evening in a body
The Elks formed their plans in secret
and that they intended TO be present
at the church was unknown to the
pastor and most, if not all, of the con
grcgation. Naturally, therefore, the
appearance of SO many visitors in a
body occasioned much surprise.
Mr.. Guy preached an excellent ser

Proposition to BafdCd Class.

Rev. r. w. Spilman, Field Secre-
tary of the Sunday School Depart
ment of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, was here Saturday, and
through Pro. C. w. Wilson submit
ted the following proposition to the
Baraca class of which Prof. Wilson
is teacher: A plan is on foot for the
members of the baraca classes Of
the South to build a Baraca Temple
at Blue Mont, N. c., near Asheville,
by the issuing of stock at $1,000 per
share. Mr.. Spilman offered the
Baraca Class the privilege Of being
the first subscriber to shares of this
stock; his proposition was accepted,
and the class took one share.
When the Temple is built all the
members Of the Baraca classes of
this and other southern states will
have the privilege of occupying the
building, at any time they SO desire,
without any cost whatever.
This is proposition that should
meet the approval and acceptance of
all the classes throughout the State.
AS is we'll known, Asheville, and all
the other towns in the surrounding
neighborhood, are exceedingly pop
ular summer resorts for people OF
all sections of the country, and Il
would indeed be convenience and
help to the young men of the
southern states to have this Baraca
Temple at their disposal when on
their summer vacation trip.
1t is quite distinction to the Bar
aca Glass here, that it was the first
class to which this proposition was
submitted.
