THERE is party living over in Col
vile named Veech, or WEIGH, or Veatch
who has aspirations for congressional
honors. He is a life long democrat,
with the exception of the past two or
three years, and has lived long enough
in the state to become citizen. He
is sparring for nomination on the re.
publican ticket, although he has no
claim on that party for recognition, as
he is against Taft. If he is not then
he is consummate hypocrite, for he
endorses the democratic congressman
from the Third district, and that indi.
yidual is opposed to the administration.
This is new breed OF party man who
can oppose the acknowledged leader of
party and its policies, and still claim
allegiance to that party. This thing
OF denouncing President Taft and
then posing as republican is becom-
ing wearisome. The man who does
not like the republican party, and can.
not stand for its principles, should get
back with the democratic party where
he belongs.

THE people have voted in favor of
water works, and that vote requires
the council to make an effort to secure
a system as provided and set forth at
length in Ordinance No. Il. Briefly
the ordinance provides for supply of
water by means Of an artesian well.
II will require that the council apply
careful and economic business prin-
ciples in carrying out the project as
provided for with the limited means
at command. 1t is probable that fey
people sat down and confronted cold
blooded figures before voting on the
proposition. y complete water system
covering the entire town was so Gag
erly desired that men put aside their
better judgment when voting. fearing
that an adverse vote would postpone
the providing the great want indeh.
nately There is no margin for any
waste, and the greatest care must be
exercised if the money is not exhausted
before water is running through the
mains. Every step toward the install
lation OF water works means an ex-
pense TO meet, and any unnecessary
leakage would be disastrous. Let the
town council move cautiously in carry.
ing out the will of the people. Let
them use the money as they would if
the cost was coming out of their own
pockets, and the chances are they can
make the sum voted stretch out to pro-
vide what the town is sadly in need of.
a complete water system.

increase into effect on policies that
had been written and reported to the
companies.
Replying to a question OF the court,
Mr. Powell said that the Southeastern
Underwriters Association fixes the
rates and the companies abide by
them. The companies. the witness
said. fix the commissions of the
agents. Mr.. Powell was handed q

Asked by Captain Berkeley " he

Mr.. Powell could not say whether II
would cost this $1,000 for the compan'
les 10 collect the $4,000 provided by
the ten per cent Increase However
be did not think that IL would cost
that amount.
Improvement to Fire Department.
Mr.. Powell said that he understood
that some improvements had been
made in the fire department recently
and that there had been some i'm
provement in the electrical wiring in
the city. an electrical engineer being
employed to supervise the wiring.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Bachelor,
Mr. Powell said that he estimated that
one-fourth of the 100000 in prem
lums received last year was paid on
the shipyard. which is not under the
association shedule OF rates, and on
property outside OF the city He also
estimatcs that, the amount of prem

ten per cent. less than hast year, his
estimate being based upon statements
made that certain OF the larger in,

Some Peculiar Figuring.

ing the profits of companiHS on the
ten per cent increase based on the
estimated amount of the business to
he done this year. When he had I'm
ished his ABDUCTION. Mr.. Bachelor es-
timated that each company would
make an increased profit OF 1888 this
year as the result of the ten per cent,

conclusion by taking S30000 OF prem

UnfIatterIno Truth.

A Chicago physician gleefully tells
child story at his own expense. The
five children Of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased reclamation.
The good doctor felt duly fiattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
I'VE felt SO sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor-
rid medicine. SO we were awfully
glad to see you, always, cause you
made Ms stick out our tongues. We
stuck 'em out awful far!"
