5 THOUSAND BAPTISTS
FROM ALL over WORLD
viii Gather in the Quaker
City in Mid-JuRG

Philadelphia, Ma. 12.-Several hun
bred women interested in Baptist mis-
sionary work are arranging for the re-
ception and entertainment of the dele
gates to the Baptist World Alliance
70 oe held in Grace Baptist Temple,
June 10 to %. The alliance is an or
ganization to promote the spirit of
fellowship, service and cooperation
among Baptist churches. This con-
vention is the first attempt to get in
to organic union the members of any
one denomination from all over the
world The alliance proposes to hold
a convention every five years in differ
ent countries to discuss topics of gen
eral interest and to further the work
and policy of the Baptist church.
About 5000 delegates and visitors
are expected to attend the convention.
From Great Britain will come Dr.
John Clifford, who has been pastor of
the WoodOourne Park Baptist church
of London, nearly 80 years; Rev. J.
Il. Shakespeare, a member of the fam
lily of the great poet, and secretary of
the Baptist Union of Great Britain and
Ireland; Rev. J. T. Marshall principal
of the Manchester Baptist college;
Rev. F. B. Meyer and Rev. Thomas
Phillips, of London, who will preach
the Alliance Sermon Nine delegates
are coming from New Zealand, about
100 from Russia, Roumania and other
countries of Eastern Europe, many Of
whom will be particularly interesting
because of their having been detained
for years in prison because of their
radical religious views. Among these
will be Rev w. Fetler, pastor of the
First Baptist church of st. Peters
burg.
Philadelphia was chosen as the
place for the convention because it has
: been regarded as one of the Baptist
cehters Of the world. The headquar-
tiers Of the delegates will be the Roger
Williams building.

AMERICUS WATER SUPPLY ADEQUATE
At LEAST FOR THE PRESENT
City Using More Than Half Million Gallons Daily FCadyWG Long Ago
abandoned Again Flowing and viii Vastly Increase Daily Supply

and the water is now coming at the
rate of about 5000 gallons an hour.
1t was this we'll that brought up the
discolored water last summer, a fact
which created considerable discussion
at the time, many consumers thinking
the water muddy"
Such was not the case, Mr.. Steph-
ems insists, the discolorations result
ing from some other cause. The old
pipes drawn from this we'll were bad
ly rusted, and large hole was found
in one section. This well is the best
one owned by the city, and will be
very important addition to the general
water supply this summer.
Quite recently the reservoirs have
been thoroughly washed out, as was
the standpipe and there is no possibl-
ity of contamination in the water sup
ply. And there will be plenty OF
water, too, if it is not wilfully wasted.
The city's springs are in fine condi-
ton, and the main leading from them
pours 1900 gallons pure sparkling wa
ter into the reservoirs every minute,
day and night. This, together with the
three wells, affords the city's supply
One of these wells, which cost the city
$500, affords only limited flow.
Engineer Stephens takes great per
sonal pride in the water works de-
partment and pretty park surrounding
it, and keeps everything there in the
pink of condition.

Americas consumes daily consider
ably more than a half million gallons
water-to be exact, from $4,000 to
100000 gallons, while the available
supply at present is $4,000. Of this
latter amount about 215,OOO gallons is
purest spring water, while $4,000 gall
Ions, approximately, is from the city's
three artesian wells.
The proportion, therefore, is about
one third spring water and two thirds
artesian, delightfully."- blended"
If there is no reckless waste of wa
ter upon the part of consumers there
will be no shortage in the daily sup
ply during the summer season, al
though the margin between available
supply and consumption is a narrow
one; only about 100000 gallons.
Just now the available supply is
scarcely as much as indicated above,
but an addition is being made by the
reclamation of one of the city's best
wells, which is flowing again after
having been out of commission since
last summer. This well alone will af-
ford 100000 gallons daily.
Last summer it failed entirely, and
has been out Of commission since some
time in September.
Engineer Stephens, of the water
work station, has recently pulled out
the old rusted casing and replaced it
with new pipes driven to greater depth

GOOD OLD WATER
WAGON 1T BROKE
Years Of Hard Usuage, city's Sprnkl-
Ing Wagon Retires From
Service.

The City's "waterwagon" is out of
commission, broke down in Main
street last night. Oh no, the acci-
dent was not caused by the added
weight of "Fll-never-touch-an
drop Hattiesburgers, who were
clamoring for seats on the vehicle
More plausible would it be that the
old wagon fell to pieces from the gen
eral debility brought about by years
of waiting for the possibly expected
passengers, or perhaps the many raids
of tigers and the capture of such
large quantities of booze lately dis
couraged the old cart to the point of
just laying down in despair.
Whatever the cause may have been,
it is true the wagon, which for years
has been used for sprinkling the
streets at night, went down, demol-
ishing a wheel and other injuries were
inflicted. The wagon has been in
service a long time and looks, from
its general dilapidated condition,
that it will not be of service much
longer even if it is put in repair.
