WYATT AIKEN GETS IN DEBATE.
South Carolina Congressman Talks
for Half an Hour in Argument on
Cotton Goods Duty.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Congressman
Wyatt Aiken today got in the debate
when the bill to reduce the duty on
cotton products. was called up in the
house.
He spoke for about half an hour out
lining his views from a Democratic
standpoint, and traced the history of
the industry for many years past. He
pointed out the facts that what the
cotton mills should do to insure per-
manent prosperity would be to pay
more attention to the extension Of for
eign markets and less to the workings
Of a tariff law.
There is much uncultivated terri
tory in foreign countries, he said,
where manufactured goods would find
ready sale were they only found and
utilized.

Columbia Offers Aid.

Columbia, July 31.-Any aid that Co.
lumbia can render was offered to the
authorities Of Charlotte today by the
water-works department OF Columbia,
and the city council, at a special meet
ing, cordially endorsed this action.
Columbia offered to ship either "raW"
OF filtered water to Charlotte in tank
cars, in any quantity. Councilman
Superintendent Wm7 F. stieglitz and
Engineer Superintendent F. C. Wyse,
of the Columbia department, leave
Tuesday for Charlotte to look into the
situation.
The Columbia water supply is drawn
frPm Saluda river and is believed to
be tample for the local requirements
for some years to come, although
council is now considering the advisa-
bit::tty of acquiring the Congaree Creek
watershed for the demands CT the fu-
ture. The Saluda river water is
brought to the 100000 pumping and
iltering plant, built a few years ago,
near the penitentiary by means of a
double line of large intake pipes,
which cross Broad river, just above
the confluence of tht Saluda and the
Broad, which ct this point unite to
form the Cgpgaree. In midsummer
the local Waser co1k kumption often
reaches 100000 gaA hs. The pump
ing capacity Of the plant is about g..
100000 gallons, and it is likely anothe.
big pump will be installed next year.

fountain streams to the west, up
which many Touring mills, tan

Apower, have dwindled to mere
ks in some instances, and many
ign enterprises have been forced
shut down. Crops in this imned-
ess section are burning up in the
Helds.. Many farmers in this and ad-
joining counties, despairing of corn
crop, have chopped down the young
corn and are using it for feed, while
the hot winds are playing havoc with
cotton.
Cities and towns to the north and
west of Charlotte are facing the ordeal
of ~afer famine that this city is
6w experiencing. Concord, Wades-
pro, Monroe and other towns are
acing the water supply problem, and
Measures of economy are being enforc-

The situation in Charlotte is not i'm
proved, although the authorities are
working night and day on the problem.
Feeling that the distress is not being
relieved as promptly as was hoped by
means Of tank cars, the offers of
wafer from Gastonia, Shelby and Lin
colnton were today accepted, and tank
cars brought in tonight $4,000 gallons
from Gastonia. This was pumped IN
to the mains Of the city by means of
fire engines. 1t is hoped by Wednes-
day TO resume an economic service

since early Friday.
Special prayer services for rain
were held in churches throughout this
section yesterday. TRere was brief
