of the West. or Europe. we can
raise fruits and vegetables and
that one of the greatest waste,
our people are guilty of is the
buying OF canned goods when
their children at odd NON ents
can put up these goods in much
better quality and save over one
half in the cost Mr.. Watson did
not fail to express his disgust at
having to welcome the first ship
ito reach Charleston through the
Panama Canal laden with hay for
this stats-grass being brought
from abroad at an exorbitant
cost, when for the greater part Of
year our farmers are sweating in
their fields to destroy grass. He
said that it has been fully dem
onstrated South Carolina can
and does grow as sweet and as
nutritious hay as ever came
from the ranches of the great
northwest. then why should we
longer continue to pay tribute to
the west for our sustainance; let
the pendulum swing the other
way by giving more attention to
something else besides cotton.
He urged his hearers to be eau
t!ous in the cotton planting oper-
ations this year, especially did
he urge them not to be deceived
by the alluring prices now being
offered. He said that in his
opinion, the prices OF today are
due to manipulation and are
not natural-supply and demand
figures but little in it. therefore
be not deceived into committing
the folly of going into debt to
buy commercial fertilizers to
make q bumper crop of cotton;
if, said the speaker, the south
makes another such, or even a
normal crop Of cotton this year,
whether the war ends Or not it
WILDE a calamity.
Commissioner Watson's speech
was good as are all of his
speeches. He knows what he
is talking about which counts
for d whole lot: S. Oliver
O'Bryan, Esq, introduced the
speaker in very happy and
appropriate manner.
The next speaker Hon. John
L. McLaurin, was introduced by
Captain W. G. Davis who spoke
of the study made by Senator
McLaurin of the financial condi-
tions of this country and his in.
terest in the warehouse propo-
sition.
The audience gave the speak.
er nice reception as he rose
to make his address aud he ex-
pressed his appreciation OF hav-
ing the privilege of appearing

He showed what had been ac-
complished, even by a small

Senator McLaurin's speech
was not only instructive but en-

By some misunderstanding,

GAS ENGINES
TO Be PUT IN
City Water Board is to Add toll
the Equipment Of the
Pumping Station.

In order to keep pace with the
growing needs and for the better
protection Of the people Of the city
the water works and sewerage board
mas definitely decided after a careful
study Of the various types Of pumps
and engines, to construct and in
stall at the pumping station of the
water system, two engines, one
OF nifty horse power and one Of three
hundred horse power. and one high
lit pump and one low lift pump,
each with a daily capacity Of four
million gallons. These additional
facilities are needed for the better
and more economical operation Of
the pumping plant. and to take care
OF the largely increased REQUIRE
ments.
The proposed improvements will
cost approximately s25, 700, and are
to be paid for by the water DEPART
ment out OF current receipts, and
will in no way become a general
charge upon. the city. The present
steam equipment Is the most mod
ern OF present day installations and
will be used as reserve unit and
In connection with the proposed gas
engine layout. The power plant is
being operated entirely by natural
gas drawn from wells OWNED and
operated by the water works. the
consumption being about 100000
cubic feet per day.
Few people realize the demands
upon the water department for fl
tered water since the completion Of
the new filtration plant in Novem-
Der, 1911. Clarksburg ranks second
in the state in the production OF
water. the daily pumpage being ex-
ceeded only by Wheeling. AS to
the potability Of the city water and
its fitness for human consumption,
suffice to say, it has the unqualified
endorsement Of the United States
Public Service, the State Board Of
Health and local bacteriongists and
physicians.

GLASS BUSINESS
is MUCH BETTER
Building Operations Steadil,
Increase and Demand for
Glass is Healthy.

PITTsBURG, Sept. 1S.-The Class
worker says:
Business it better-a good deal
better than It was"
This encouraging report was given
by all the large jobbers during the
week.
There are no conditions or modi-
fications, Just the clear, cheering
statement that window glass condi-
tons seem to be undergoing most
gratifying transformation.
This is attributed entirely to nor
NAL causes. Building operations have
been steadily increasing in bulk dur
ing the last few weeks, and healthy
demand is making itself felt. There
is no speculative buying, for there Is
no likelihood, in view Of the recent
price guarantees, Of any sudden fuc-
tuation in market quotations. Stocks
are beginning to run low, however.
and jobbers and sash and door houses
are nearing the time when it will be
absolutely necessary to replenish.
The prospects for the fall are for
very good business.

selves in accordance with our moral
