STRIKES A GOOD FLOW.
St. Matthews Has Splendid New
Well Of Pure Water.

well OF tufe water.
Our good friends at St. Matthews,
will have something to drink. When
the county was voted dry their at
tention was turned to digging deep
wells, in which they have met with
great success, so much so, that st.
Matthews can boast of one Of the
most perfect systems Of water supply
in the State. The town has just COM
pleted the digging and equipping of
second deep we'll. sorethinlg over
200 feet in depth. The yield OF this
well is an average of 65 gallons to
the minute. The water is clear and
cold. and first class for drinning pur-
poses.
The necessity Of this additional
water supply is splendid evidence Of
the towns rapid development. The
original plant consist of one deep
we'll, with standpipe which holds
$4,000 gallons Of water placed for
ready high pressure. Located at the
we'll is duplicate reservoir which
holds $4,000 gallons.
When the system was first INSTALL
ed it was entirely adequate to meet
the demands Of the citizens, but new
residences have gone up. citizens
have abandoned wells and had wat
.erworks placed in their residences,
and the demand in general for city
water has become so great that im-
provements were imperative.

yI;sIrs BOWMAN SECTION.
Some Of the Men Who Are Develop
ing That Country.

The editor of the Christian APP
peal recently paid visit to the Bow
man section and here is what ne
says about some of the good people
living in that part of the country.
Mr.. E. n. Mittle, an old Newberry
boy and graduate Of the Citadel,
went to Bowman mere youth to
teach the Graded school. He is less
than twenty-seven years Of age, but
is one OF the lessees Of the Branch
Vile and Bowman. railroad, cashier
of the bank, a promoter OF the new
oil mill and one Of the most populal
men in the town. He is doing sue
cessful work in building up Bow
man.
DR.. D. E. Connor, graduate OF
Wofford and a practicing physician
lives at Bowman, and in addition to
his regular practice conducts a sue
cessful mercha ntile business. Oul
readers will not locate correspon'
dent for this paper whose letters
have been read with pleasure and
profit by all of our subscribers. Pres
sure of his business engagements
alone prevent DR.. Connor writing
oftener for the paper.
Mr.. B. o. Evans is perhaps the
youngest-old rural mail deliverer in
the state-he is quite youth de.
spite his years and is never happier
than when handling a neat letter
to young lady or the Christian Ap.
peal to a subscriber. He will renew
his youth and also his acquaintance
with our readers very soon. We are
grateful to him and others for their
kindness.
Capt. l.. F. CoEnor is an old vet
eran and one of the men who lifted
Orangeburg county out OF the
slough Of Republican misrule and
financial decentralization. His coun.
ty has several times rewarded him
for his faithful public services by
giving him the highest Offices at her
disposal. The condition CT his
health probably kept him out of the
race for governor this year.
Mr.. W. NJ. Punches is an enthusi.
asst on the subject Of fruit and has
prepared to go into the business on
an extensive scale. The orchards OF
Oramgeburg county are yielding
their owners good returns at little
expense.

He Was Driving, Runs Over Him
3 With Fatal Result.
That was sad fate that befell
Lir. John NJ. Berry near Charleston
on Wednesday. Here are the par
ticulars of it as we find them in
the Charleston Evening Post:
siThe coroner's inquest into the
death of John NJ. Berry, who died
"Wednesday in St. Andrews parish,
while driving a schlitz beer delivery
wagon, resulted i'll verdict tnat
the deceased came to his death by
accidentally falling from his wagon
seat to the roadway, and being run
over by the front, right side wheel
Of a heavily loaded wagon, hemor--
rhage' being the. direct cause. The
body was shipped this morning by
J. Henry Stuhr, to Bowman, the
former home OF the dead man.
Frank White, a colored youth,
about: eighteen years of age, was the
main witness at the inquest. He
was riding with Mr.. Berry along the
road near Bear Swamp, about four
teen miles from Charleston, and ne
said that the driver suddenly sway
ed back and forth. and as the wagon
ran into q hole in the road he fell
forward, and was under the front
wheel of the heavily loaded wagon
before the mules could be stopped.
They started to run away and White,
seeing the PROSTATE body in the
road, became frightened. also,: and
urged the animals to the. nearest
store, where he sought help.
1.-The body Of the dead man was
taken charge OF by the magistrate
and sent to Charleston His collar
bone was crushed, and the mark of
tue wheel across his chest could be
plainly seen. Relatives of Mr.. Ber-
ry took charge Of the body later, and

adjustment of Mr.. Stuhr, where an
