have the capacity of serving a city of

Four huge centrifugal pumps that

Gigantic Pumps Here.
However large the city waterworks
is 1t is a toy compared with the Gary
steel works pumping station. The steel
plant water works has a total capa-
city of 100000. 600 gallons a day or
enough to supply a city of a million
and a half people. OF this capacity
the works now use from 100, 900. 600
to $780, 900. 900 gallons daily which is
sufficient to meet the water demands
OF all Northern Indiana. six huge
pumps of $4,000. 900 daily capacity
operate at Gary works. The sheet and
tin plate plant which has it's own
pumping station uses some 1000, 900
gallons of water daily.

MOCKING BIRD ROUTS
 THOROUGHBRED BULL
Alights on Dogs Back, Animal Stand. ing Tactics Few Minutes Before
 ROlting With Yelps.

New Orleans, July 1S.-An ordinary mocking bird, with the exception of it's abnormal curiosity and belliger- ent disposition, attacked and put to flight thoroughbred bull dog at Coli scum and Napolion avenues Monday, to the chagrin of the owner of the dog and amusement of street car passen- gers and spectators.
 The bull pup was strolling along placidly wiggling his nubbin of a tail, when the bird swooped down from a shade tree, alighted on the dog s back and began it's attack on the abbreviated tail. The astonished dog suddenly sat down, whereupon the bird changed it's tactics by darting at the animal in swift rushes, pecking at it's muzzle and ears and emitting shrill notes of anger. The dog stood it for few seconds and suddenly bolted, yelping every ten feet.
 "Weil, I'll be d--,a exclaimed the dogs owner, starting off on the dog S trail

WHAT THE DAY T
** * + ~ ~ r
The Day Book is not like any
other newspaper or magazine.
1t is the only adless newspaper
in the world. AS it does not ac-
cept advertising under any cir
cunStances, and has no source of
revenue except its receipts from
circulation, it is sthe freest and
most independent newspaper in
the world.
1t owes nothing to anybody or
any interest except its own read
ers; and it owes no more to man
worth a hundred millions than it
owes to the poorest individual
who can pay the subscription
price of 6 cents a week.
1t can publish in convenient
size because it takes no advertis-
ing. 1t is the only newspaper in
Chicago that depends entirely on
its readers for whatever money
it gets.
It belongs to no political party,
and doesn't care a whoop for all
the politicians in town. And it
doesn't believe in the Socialist
party, any more than it believes
in the Democratic, Republican or
Prohibition parties.
1t doesn't belong to the news
paper trust, and never. will.
1t doesn't believe in newspaper
bossism any more. than it believes
in financial, social, political or
any other kind of bossism.
1t does believe, however, in
government of the people, by the

II believes the people IN Tree
country should be free and it be-
l1eveS that a real newspaper
should give its readers the truth,
whether the newspaper likes the
truth or not.
1t is more interested in the
health, happiness and daily life of
the men, women and children in
Chicago than it is in the huctua-
tons of the stock markets, the do
ings of high sassiety, the making
of millionaires, the increase in the
value of real estate, the selfish
ambition of ofice-seekers and the
interests of big business.
AS for creed and church, three
ognizes the right of every man
to worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience,
and that it is none of The Day
Books business.
In general, it is a paper for the
great 95 per cent of the men,
women and children who make up
the city of Chicago, and wants to
do all it can to advance their in
terests.
The subscription price, de1iv-
cred at the home, is 6 cents a
week. And for that you will get
all the truth we can find out
about things that interest you.
AS we see it, the people can do
their own thinking if they know
the truth. And the people of
lineage need a free newspaper
like The Day Book.

DEATH OF AN OLDNEGRO.
Lawyer McFadden Succumbs to
Typhoid Fever.

Benson, July 30:-Lawyer McFad-
den died of typhoid fever last Thurs
day. He was one of the old slavery
negroes who was quite an orig
inal character. He delighted in re-
lating happenings of bygone days
told in typical negro dialect. Law
yer McFadden will be missed. He
was not very industrious but was
always present at a picnic or a hot
supper. He was ready to wait on
the ''bucker" at any time, and espe-
cially in time of sickness, and has
acted as nurse for the white men
in the neighborhood. Just recently
he waited on Mr. Edwin Grayson and
others we can remember as far back
as Capt Jno E Scott. Maj J B Chan
dler and Mr. Alex McCrea, whom ne
stood by till death claimed them.
Editor Wolfe also, when he lived in
this neighborhood, was nursed by
this old negro during the time he
was sick and needed assistance. This
class of negro is rapidly disap-
pearing, and we fear the younger
generation have not profited by the
example they set.
DR. Feeley, the State veterinary
surgeon, has visited near this Sec
ton, condemning some horses owned
by the Singletary negroes and affect
ed with glanders. They were killed,
and we hope this will put an end to
the disease.
A protracted meeting at Cedar
Swamp church is in progress. The
pastor, Rev J L Mullinix, is assisted
by Rev R w Humphries of Sumter.
Mr. N D Lesesne, assistant cashier
of the Bank of Kingstree, visited

trough on a trestle farther down
and pours down on an overshot
wheel about 20 feet IN diameter.
The mill is not in use and has been
out of commission for year or SO.
1t is situated in quite a lonely spot.
| was somewhat surprised during
my first visit there. while standing
solitary, watching the leaking and
incessant dripping of numerous
little streams gushing out of the
overhead water trough, still pouring
over the old wheel as it used to do
when at work, but much less now on
account of the different leaks.
After few minutes the buckets on
the wheel get filled and the old
wheel will turn around until that
supply is emptied and then it stops
for another few minutes. | did not
know what to think when the old
wheel started. | thought for a mo-
ment, Is the old mill haunted, and
is some great unseen spirit turning
the wheel?" Nevertheless the water
supply comes from several large
springs and the old wheA makes its
regular turns day through and night
through. The millstones have been
taken away and nothing remains but
the old, dilapidated building. sup
pose the foundation that supports
the wheel is kept wet, which pre-
serves all that part, and there is no
telling how long the old wheel may
make its regular turns.
Invent down to another mill this
morning to get some fresh corn
meal for nice hoe cakes for dinner.

per pound. We had luscious peaches
today and plenty of stewed apples
every meal.

Newsy Notes from Nesmith.

Nesmith, July 29:-The farmers
of this section are busy curing to-
bacco. Some of them have found
time to take some to market. Those
who have sold any are very much
pleased with the prices received,
which were very good. Watch

The crops in this section are not
so good compared with last year.
The corn growth is not sufficient to
yield very large ear. Cotton and
tobacco were injured somewhat by
the recent spell of wet weather.

No Such Fund..A Is Wr0nG.
Editor County Record:

Editor County Record: -
note the inquiry referred to the
County Superintendent of education
as published in the last issue of your
paper. A is wrong. There is no
appropriation for travelling expenses
in visiting the schools. | am in
formed there was an allowance of
500 for this purpose a number of
years ago, but during the tenure of
the incumbent and at least a part
of that of his predecessor there has
been no such appropriation. This,
of course, does not relieve the su-
perintendent of education of his OBJ
legation to visit the schools. The
duties of the office have multiplied
within recent years, however, and it
has been impracticable to do system
attic visiting along with the other
work on the salary paid. The
incumbent has done some school
supervision, but much of his travel
ing has been spent in visiting COM
munities with view to building up
better schools, getting better build
ings, etc. The salary has recently
been raised from $3.50 to 81 900 and
the County Superintendent will
henceforth be able to devote practi-
cally all his time to the work.
As an illustration of the handicap
our county has had: Florence county
with one-half the number Of schools
we have, has been paying the super
intendent 81, 500 and $500 extra for
a clerk. Georgetown county, with
one-half the number of schools, has
been paying 5000.
