CAPITALISTS FURNISH
MONEY TO BUILD SOUTH
CANON WATERWORKS

Thomas C. Pease, Colorado Springs,
capitalist and bond broker, has agreed
to furnish the money necessary to
enable c. X. Gwillin and his associ-
ates to install their proposed artesian
system of waterworks in South Canon
and actual work will begin within the
next thirty days.
1t has been known for some time
that Mr.. Pease was favorably disposed
towards the enterprise, but not until
last night was definite promise Civ
en- by him to the people of South Can
on to finance the proposition. In COM
pany with Mr.. Gwillim he was pres
ent at the council meeting in South
Canon last night and explained his
willingness to supply all of the cash
needed to put the Chandler artesian
water into the streets of that village,
provided a franchise was obtained.
similar to the one which was enacted
last year and allowed to lapse by lin
itation.
In view of the assurance of Mr..
Pease that he would carry out his
part of the agreement an ordinance
was adopted granting such fran
chise as he desired. All of the streets
of South Canon are to be piped, none
of them having a conduit less than
four inches in diameter. and the wa
tetr delivered at the curbstone with
out expense to the community. The
village binds Itself in no way so far
as the purchase of water is concern
ed, nor are the people expected to
purchase a drop of water unless they
desire to do so.
The water will all be piped from the
Chandler artesian wells, which will
afford a more than ample supply, a
distance of between six and seven
miles, and the flow will be a gravity
one.
A large reservoir will be construct
ed somewhere in the vicinity of Pros
pect Heights for the storage of water
and the pressure in the mains will be
at all times sufficient for any exigency
that may arise.
The people of South Canon are GER
tainly to be congratulated upon their
prospect of securing first-class sup
ply of artesian water on such favor
able terms. With the new enterprise
under way business in South Canon
should take on an activity closely re-
sembling a boom.

Saw Old Friends.

While in Greenville on business one
/ day last week Sheriff Buford saw
several Of his old friends, with whom
he enjoyed pleasant conversations,
although finding one or two Of them
in sad circumstances. They are na-
tives of Newbeary, but have been
living in Greenville for a number
of years. He found Mr.. VIM. Kelly,
who is "a years old, helpless In bed.
Mr.. Kelly's church, and the camp Of
veterans in Greenville give him aid,
az he was a gallant soldier, going to
the war from Newberry and serving
! in Company B, first South Carolina
volunteers. Mr.. Buford also found
in the same house another helpless
sufferer in the person Of Mr.. Kelly's
90-year-old sister, who, like her
brother, is broken in health and
weighted with the infrmities Of old
age and poverty and want. She is
suffering too from disloeated hip.
There is another sister with them
who is sixty years old, but
able to be Of service in the house.
There would probably not be so much
grumbling and complaining among
we'll people at little annoyances and
inconvenience if they could be
brought in contact with misery and
woe. At least there ought not to be.
What a comfort, what a luxury it
would be to the feeble old woman Of
80 and the poor old man Of "a to
be able to sit in easy chairs and drink
in the sunshine, beauty and music Of
the outer world, blessings which so
many in health and strength do not
return thanks for. AS you walk the
streets and hear and see, free Of pain,
be thankful and think with pity and
charity Of those who, like the two
old persons in Greenville, are deprlv-
ed of so much that makes life worth
living.
Capt. Buford saw also another old
veteran from Newberry living in
GreenviLe, Mr.. John W. Riser, and
still another ex-Nevberrian, Ned
Brown, who WASH t old enough to get
into the shape Of veteran.

There was no morning service at

evening prayer was reao by Rev. C..

K. Pendleton, Of Spartanburg, who
has been prevented from visiting
Newberry according to appointment
twice recently by reason of death in
his parish. Mr.. Pendleton celebrated
holy communion and preached. His
sermon was a beautiful and touch
ing one on Paul's noble and sublime
utterance, The Love of Christ Con-
straineth Me-" The power Of the
Apostles words was made deeply i'm
pressive by the eloquent simplicity Of
the discourse and the tenderness Of
manner of the speaker, to whom all
hearts we're drawn in Christian love.

NEWBERRY COLLEGE.
Resident Alumni Meet to Discuss
Matters Pertaining to College
Another Meeting Monday.

A meeting of the resident alumni of
Newberry college was called for a
few days ago in the rooms Of the
chamber Of commerce. The purpose Of
the meeting was to consider matters
pertaining to the college and to dis
cuss the program for the alumni at
the approaching commencement.
There are now In Newberry about
seventy-fve resident alumni Of the
college. This meeting was not well
attended.
Another meeting was called for
next Monday afternoon at the same
place. These sevanty-fvd men and
women living in the town Of Newber-
ry, if they would get together, could
do a great deal not only for the COL
lege but for the community, and it is
hoped that every one of them will be
present at the meeting which is call
ed for next Monday.
A proposition was submitted at
the meeting last week to provide some
sort Of entertainment for the visit
ing alumni during commencement. A
committee to report at the next meet
ing was appointed to look into this
matter and report. o.
There are now about four hun
dred alumni of NeWberTy collage. IF
these four hundred could be induced
to make united effort they could ae-
complish great things for their alma
mater.
The local alumni hope to have a
majority present at the commence
ment.
