Waterworks Completed.
SIDNEY LOVE,
Superintendent.

Mr.. w. w. Lyon, engineer for the
water works system, was in the city
last Thursday for the purpose OF
making a final inspection Of the
plant, so that the matter might be
closed up. He pronounced every
thing in good shape, and stated that
Bamberg had the foundation OF a
first-class water system. The total
cost of the plant is $11,107.49, but
of this amount 728.70 was paid for
hose for the fire department. The
board of public works has prepared
statement showing the itmeized
cost of the plant, and If any citizen
is interested in seeing it, he can call
on the city clerk and treasurer d: or
any member of the board, who will
take pleasure in submitting copy
Of the cost for examination. The re-
port should really be published, but
that is a matter for council, as the
report is made to. that body. -.

Assistance Offered.

Last week Mayor J. Aldrich Wy
man received the following letter,
which he turned over to us for publ
cation. It should be noted that this

street, Columbia, S. C. If any Of our
mill people are interested in: the
offer made, they can communicate
with Mr.. Love at the above address:
., Columbia, S. c., April II, 1910.
To the Citizens ~
Having heard that your mills. are
about to shut down, I wish to. state
on behalf of the Columbia Industrial
Association that we will gladly rem
der anyone help who has in the past
been employed at any Of the mills In
the State, and through the loss OF
employment may be, unable to- live
without accepting charity at the
hands of benevolent citizens, and as
we are we'll aware that true honest
men and women will suffer poverty
rather than beg, we make this offer
to those who are or will be in need.
Our offer is temporary employment
and home for all applicants who are
willing to work. We will be ready
to receive cases from May first. We
do not do this in opposition to the
mill owners, as I'VE believe they are
worthy OF tho city's highest good
will, and admiration, but in the
cause of humanity. -.
Yours sincerely, ,..
SIDNEY LOVE,
Superintendent.

from one Of the very best citizens OF

Doing Fine Work.

Mr.. L: L. Chartrand, one of the
most reliable contractors that has
ever worked in our city, has erected
a handsome two-story building (store
and dwelling) for our worthy mer-
chant, Mr.. G. A. Ducker. The front
brick work is a Confederate gray,
with buff brick trimmings, which
makes very handsome front and
goes to show that Mr.. Chartrand
thoroughly understands the art OF
designing. Work done some years
ago by him looks almost as fresh as
new and stands well, showing that he
is a very substantial builder.
He is also building a handsome
home for Mr.. J. F. .Kilgus, and as
these contracts are nearing COM
pletion, he is now ready to figure
with anybody who wishes building
done anywhere, and any kind OF a
building, and will give you as cheap
a price as reliable work can be done
for. Hurry and decide on your
work, and give him a chance to figure
with you. We have never heard a
complaint against his work. The
larger or elaborate the work the bet
ter he can manage it. Address for
the next six weeks, Bamberg, s. G.

Injunction Dissolved.

A tract of real estate of the estate
of Brown, was advertised by tie
Master to be sold the first Monday
in April, but the sale was not held,
as a temporary order was obtained
by the Conrad Ehrhardt Company
from Judge T. S. Sease, restraining
the Master from making the sale.
At the time this newspaper stated
that the Ehrhardt Company held a
mortgage on the property, but this
was an error, the Indebtedness of the
estate. of Brown tc@them being in the
form Of notes. j.
The matter was argued before
Judge Sease at Barnwell last week,
and the temporary order was dis
solved, Judge Sease's order in the
case being as follows: i
ION March 31st 1 signed an order
restraining the Master Of Bamberg
county from selling the lands herein
until further oder of the Court, and
requiring all parties to be and ap-
pear before me at my chambers on
the 7th day of April, 1910, at 10
O'Clock a. M, to show cause why q
restraining order should not be
granted, restraining them from In
terfering in any way whatsoever with
the property mentioned in the COM
plant herein, end why said in5unc-
ton should not be made permanent.
After hearing argument Of counsel
pro and con, and after careful con-
sideration of the matters before me,
1 see no just cause why the said
Master and the parties herein should
be restrained.
1T is therefore ordered, that the
temporary restraining order signed
by me on the 31st day Of March,
1910, be and the same is hereby va
Gated and the Injunction which Is
asked for be and the same Is re-
fused
The land in the case will now be
sold as was originally intended, but
it will hardly be sold now before this
fall.
