FOR SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
Movement Started to Call Election
to Vote $4,000 Bonds.

Petitions will be circulated
through the city within the next day
or two upon the question OF calling
an election to vote $4,000 in bonds
for the installation of a waterworks
and sewerage system in Bamberg.
At a meeting OF city council Tues
day night, the matter was discussed
and the committee which had in
charge the matter Of securing sigma
lures for a waterworks bond issue,
was asked to circulate another peti-
ton, increasing the amount OF bonds
to $4,000, the additional $4,000
being for the purpose Of installing a
sewerage system.
The committee has secured suf-
fcient signatures to the petition call
ing for an election on the matter OF
issuing $4,000 in bonds for water,
but it was ascertained that large
number of taxpayers objected to Vot-
ing bonds for water without sewer
age, and for this reason, no steps
have been taken toward calling the
election until it can be ascertalned
if sufficient signatures cannot be Sc
cured for the amount necessary to
install both water and sewerage.
There seems to be very little doubt
that the matter will be carried. There
is a general impression that the time
is ripe for this improvement to be
made and, while the initial cost will
be heavy, it is an Improvement that
the town will have TO make to keep
pace with the times.
Bamberg is to be congratulated
upon the movement being started
and. with the plant in operation
Bamberg will have taken long stride
forward, one that will do more to-
ward the towns growth and advance
ment than any movement, perhaps
since the town was founded.
It is probable that citizens meet
ing may be called in the near future
to ascertain the public opinion upon
the matter.

Crops Receive Set Back.

inquiries among the farmers re-
veals the fact that the past two or
three weeks has witnessed a con-
siderable decline in the general con-
dition of the crops of the county.
The rain for the past month has
caused the farmers to get very much
delayed in their farm work, and the
grass is growing by leaps and bounds.
Many farmers have not yet given
their cotton the first good cleaning
of grass. Corn is said to be fairly
good in most sections, although some
farmers state that it is not as good
as last year. In some sections, also.
the cotton crop is stated to be fine,
but the general condition is not at
all satisfactory. 1t is estimated that
the acreage in cotton has been re-
duced from twenty to fifty per cent.
in Bamberg county.

Death OF Mrs. Ora Cope.

Ora, the wife of Mr.. W. w. Cope,
died at their home near Ulmers We'd
nesday morning about o'clock, .af-
ter an illness 'of many months. ALI
that medical skill and loving hands
could do was done to relieve her, but
God in His infinite wisdom saw best
to take her to home where there
is no pain and suffering, and where
tears are unknown. The remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery at
Fairfax.
Mrs. Cope had been member Of
the Baptist church for a number Of
years. A devoted husband and two
children survive the deceased, also
her father, Mr.. Geo. H. Smoak, and
the following brothers and sisters:
Misses Margaret, Jennie and Sue
Smoak and Dewitt Smoak of this,
place, and Mr.. Fred Smoak, Of
Yonge's Island.

Plenty of Rain.

The past week has witnessed an
excessive fall of rain. Nearly every
day a heavy rain has fallen, and the
farmers heport that the ground is
soggy and that very little, if any,
farm work can be done. The rain
is doing a lot of damage to crops,
gardens, etc., and those having water
melons to market are finding that
it is a difficult task to haul them to
market. 1t is stated that there is
yet a lot of grain shocked in the
fields and that this is being damag-
ed to some extent. About all the
wheat has been housed by most OF
the farmers who planted this year,
and this will doubtless escape dam
age from water.

The Carlisle :ArteSian Well.

The artesian well at the corner OF
Elm and Carlisle streets ceased to
flow recently for some reason. The
flow was greatly diminished and final
~ practically ceased entirely. Ell
forts to rehabilitate the we'll, have
been unsuccessful so far. This was
a very important we'll, in that it sup
piled water for the Carlisle school.
The well was bored some years ago
by the school and Messrs w. d. Rhoad
H. c. Folk and c. w. Rentz. 1t is stat
ed that arrangements will be made for
an adequate supply of water for the
school the coming session, and that
no fear need be felt on account OF
the present condition of the water
supply. The school is in easy access
of the city's present water supply
which could be used for general pur-
poses, and a pure drinking water will
be provided. in the event the vel!
cannot be restored. In addition tc
supplying water for the school and
the gentlemen above named, the vel
supplied the residences owned by the
school. Perhaps no action will be
taken for a permanent water supply
for the school until the outcome OF
the present movement for water
supply for the entire city is decided.

Put In Private Water Line.

Messrs. w. D. Rhoad and G. W.
Rentz are putting in water line
from Main street to their residences
on Elm street. The private line
taps the water main on Main street.
These gentlemen state that they DO
not doubt but that Bamberg will
have a fine water system some time
in the future, but it will be some
time, as the election is yet to be
held, then the bonds issued and sold,
all of which requires much time.
And then, the contract is to be let'
in the event water is carried, and at
best it will be many months before
the new system can be installed.

no disorderly conduct.

To Rescue C0IOnists Who Have
Been Attacked By Yaquis
MAY LAND BLUEJACKET FORCE
Mexican Expedition Hurrying to
Scene of Trouble 20 Miles Inland
From Gulf Of California

Washington, May 4.-Secretary
Dalsiels late today ordered the cruis-
er New Orleans from Manzanillo TO
Guayinas, Mex, to join the cruiser
Raleigh in rendering any relief pos
sible to the colony of Americans at
tackled by Indians in the Yaqui valley
fifteen or twenty miles inland.
Unofficial advices from Mexico
stated that Governor Maytorena. the
Villa commander in Sonora, already
had sent considerable body of
troops to the scene and it is hoped
that their arrival viii have relieved
the colonists before the New Orleans
reaches Guaymas.
Secretary Daniels said he had in
structed Admiral Howard, command
ing the Pacific fleet. to make an in
vestigation and report on the condi-
tions in the Yaqui valley in the basis
of the press reports that several
Americans had been killed there.
Under general naval rules the com
manders of the Raleigh and the New
blue jackets and marines at any port
for the protection of Americans or
other foreigners in any emergency
The secretary said, however, that no
orders for sending an armed party
inland would be given by the depart
nient until Admiral Howard had re.
ported the necessity of such action.
At present the warships are sent
to Guaymas in the expectation that
any Americans in the interior who
may be in danger viii find their way
to the coast where they may be TAX
EN- aboard ship.
