MADISON
Special Meeting of Village Corp.
Called to Discuss Important
Phases Of Water Supply
Question Saturday
TOWN LOCALS AND MANY
NEWSY JOTTINGS

Warrants have been posted for spe-
cial meeting Of the Madison Village Cor
poration to be held next Saturday after
noon to discuss the water question. The
warrant contains five articles and the
three of principal interest are to see II
the corporation will vote to purchase
the property rights and franchises Of the
Madison Water Co. provided a price sat-
isfactory to the voters of the corporation
can be agreed upon; to see if the corlor-
alton will appoint a committee Of three
to confer with the Madison Water Co.
and report at a future meeting; to see Il
the corporation will vote authorizing the
assessors to make temporary loan to
pay the hydrant rental which became
due on July l.
There is a strong sentiment in the cor
poration for the municipal ownership OF
the water works plant and pure water
supply. Several fruitless attempts have
been made by the voters in the past to
get price on the plant but the repre-
sentatives of the water company have
been unwilling to name any price unless
a vote was taken to purchase the prop
erty 1t is limited by those in closest
touch with the situation that the COM
pany may be willing to sell at fair
price provided the corporation takes ac-
ton at once in the matter.

cording to advices here, are preparing
to base their action on presidents, ar
guing that both President Lincoln and
Johnson in formal proclamations, went
on record as maintaining as contra
band Of war materials for the fabri-
cation Of ammunition" That cotton
has taken the place Of saltpet-e, al
ways recognized as absolute contra
band in the manufacture of gunpowder
will be recognized as absolute contra
band In the manufacture of gunpowder
will be held to be an established fact
and by way Of convincing the state de-
partment to that effect attention prob
ably will be directed to a letter by
Secretary Hay to W. w. Rockhill,
American minister to China during the
Russo-Japanese war, stating that the
American ordnance officers whom he
had called into consultation regarding
the Japanese blockade orders had ad-
vised him that cotton was used in the
manufacture of smokeless powder and
so must properly be regarded as con-
traband OF war. 1t is expected that
some sort OF arrangement will be pro-
posed by which the allies will engage
to allow cotton to travel unmolested
to neutral countries in quantities in
proportion to their normal consump-
ton.
Effect in America
What the effect will be on the
American cotton growers is the sub
ject Of contention. The cotton inter-
ests have for some time been alarmed
at the prospect and it is known that
the statement has been preparing to
resist the new move with every means
at the command Of diplomacy.
