is GETTING SAFE
Is,ItNinS Matters SO Fires
>. VIII Cause No
Worry.

The digging uf now we'll seems to
have solved the question OF an ample
supply of water FOR savannah, but
then the rigid winter Just experienced
revealed the fact that much work will
have to he done in getting the mains
and piping generally in good shape.
In many places it has been necessary
to look after and rectify these defects
and the work of oycrhnuling all bad
and weak places is still proceeding.
In some Instances the piping was not
deep enough TO prevent freezing and
bursted pipes were found in many
places.
Two fire alarms here last Monday
revealed at once the necessity and ad-
vantage Of good system kept in
thorough repair 1t so happened that
one fire was in the western part OF
the town not far from the Burlington
depot This is one district where re-
pairing the mains and pipes is just
being done and an excavation was be-
ing made near the fire plug and thus
it was made useless. However. the
fire was simply the burning of grass
and weeds and was spreading so as
to endanger several residences. Thus
it was that the fire department and
the usual contingent OF persons who
go to each fire found little difficulty
in stamping out the blaze with pals
of water. shovels of dirt. etc. The
other fire was nearer the square and a
good stream OF water was quickly be-
ing thrown on it. saving the residence.
although the Kitchen where the fire
caught was considerably scorched. in
fact nothing but shell being left of
1t. We are glad to think that the
work now progressing will soon make
every part OF the town accessible to
good water supply at all times

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?

The woman with the huge flowered
knitting bag pushed her way from the
rear to the very front OF the crowded
street car. Her coat was awry, her
hat on one side OF her head, and she
had to transfer her muff, pocketbook
and a package that probably contain
ed shoes to her knitting bag arm be-
fore she could grasp the rail of a
front seat occupied by two healthy
looking men.
For many blocks the woman and
her luggage knocked against the man
seated next the aisle. without any hint
Of his offering his seat.
At a transfer point the man rose,
and said courteOusly, "You may have
my seat. madam" Whats the mat.
ter, can't you take it with you ?'
snapped back the woman who had
been standing for twenty blocks.
