from Tuesdays Daily,
Regarding the Water Works.

The citizen has a right to know
about matters of public business. He
should be willing to take some pains
to find out facts pertaining to at
least the important matters, being
handled by the public officials in his
own town, county, state and nation.
He can hardly be considered good
and useful citizen if he does not do
this.
The condemnation of good officials
giving their time for the benefit of
the community is a most cruel thing
There are some exceptions, but
generally fault finding is based on
ignorance of the facts or prejudice
Much misunderstanding apparently
exists in regard to the water works.
In order to set matters Alright the
following itemized statement of costs
OF the water works system has been
compiled by the village clerk, D. Dona-
hue. They are authentic. The only
item that is approximate is that of
pumps, but the amount given will, it
is thought, fully cover the cost of the
pumps: One thousand feet of ten
inch mains, $3.50; 1924 feet of six
luCu HALL, FJ,GJu.A9, ool lceI vi lOuE
inch main, $40; thirteen hydrants
and gate valves, 5000; 1000 drain
tile, $500: pump house, $500; lower
reservoir, $2,560; upper reservoir,
$l.375; well, $1,163.97; pumps and
power, $500; total, $19,58S24.
In answer to AN inquiry regarding
what system the council was likely
to adopt i'm making water assess
ments, President Neitge said: 81 can
not say what will finally be done. We
have discussed the matter but have
not decided on any particular plan.
have been anxious to have a mass
meeting of the taxpayers to discuss
this matter and to get the sentiment
and hope to have such meeting
soon. Personally, | favor a three
year payment plan. We have esti
mated that it will be necessary to
charge so cents foot for the mains,
making a total frontage tax for a
fifty foot lot $40. The council will
take action upon this matter at an
early date.

GRAND JURY FINDS
 114INDICTMENTS
Florence State Normal Opens Aus piciously-Model Highway
 Progresses

Florence, September 16.-(SpeciaL)- The grand jury adjourned Thursday
 afternoon, after a session of nine days,
 during which the courthouse swarmed
 with witnesses and others interested.
 The body had before it 1894 cases and
 261 witnesses and found IA indict- ments. 1t is said that more than half of these indictments were for viola tions of the liquor laws. Nearly all the
 other indictments were for the smaller
 offenses. The grand jury report states that they have hit in various locali-
 ties the ring leaders, among the blind tigers, though their names are not yet
 given out
 The Florence State Normal college opened. Thursday with an unusually large attendance, and the term Is ex- pected to be a record breaker. Dr. Powers. the president, has been work ing with remarkable energy and in dustry since his election, and the physi- jca1 condition of the college has been greatly improved.
 The road sentiment that has cut such
 q wide swath along the line of the Louisville and Nashville. railroad. has it's counterpart here on a somewhat smaller scale in the model state county highway now being built. The public funds were more than doubled by pri- vate subscriptions for the road selected, and the whole community has gone into road building with a wonderful spirit of enterprise.

DOTHAN MAN FINDS
 LOST WIFE INSANE
Mrs. P. M. Carlisle Return ing From Hot Springs
 Probably Robbed

Montgomery, September 16.-(Special1- The arm of the police has been called into play by P. M. Carlisle of Dothan, to effect if possible, the arrest of an unknown man who is alleged to have d.vested Carlsle's wife of valuable jew elry at a time when her mind was un- balanced T,e case is one of the most pathetic ones of its kind ever reported in Montgomery.
 Several days ago while in Memphis MT. Carlisle gave out the information that he had travelled all the way from De- than to the Tennessee metropolis for the purpose of finding his wife, but that when he reached Memphis he discovered that his wife had left the hotel. All inquiry which he made led him to the belief tha t hls wife had left the city, though such step was so improbable on her part that he continued his search for his soruse, and found her after twot days, within a few blocks of the hotel where she had directed her husband-hopelessly insane. dA haI
 During her insanity the woman, it is believed, was robbed of 5ewelry worth about $750 by a man who had accom- panied her and her little daughter all the way from Hot Springs, Ark, where they had been visiting.
 Mrs Carlisle is now in sapitarium, where she is being treated.

TWO COMMISSIONS
 ARE C0NTEND|NG

Hartselle, September 16-(Special )-Sub- sequent to a recent election in which Hartselle voted for commission form of government, the governor appointed P. Pattilo, P. W. Williams and NJ. D. Wig gins commissioners for Hartselle. but these appointments were recalled before their commissions were issued
 The governor appointed J. l.. Draper, John R. Samples and M. K. Mahan, whose commissions were duly issued after they had qualified.
 Draper, Samples and Mahan took the oath of office, organized and called their first business meeting Friday morning. Pattillo and Williams also took the oath and claim to be the legal commissioners, contending that the governor had no legal right to recall their appointments. as they had made bond, which had been ac- cepted and recorded, and that no com mission is required under the new form of commission government.
 The mayor and clerk refused to deliver the city records and funds on demand of both boards of contending commissioners giving as their reason that until it was decided who were the legal commission CTS they could not do so
