THE SI'PPI-Y PIPE.
“From the pumping station a Ihirty
lnch cast iron pipe is run to the reser
voir cn the hill. This pipe crosses the
ccuai onder th- bottem at right angle*
to the .anal, then turns and fellows
the short-sl practical line. On account
o? the difficulty In securing the rights
of way. several bends were put in the
pipe in order tc follow the public read
through Summerville. These b-mds add
very little, either to length cf line or
resistance of water passing through.
This pipe will furnish about 15,000,000
gallons per day without any excessive
back pressure.
"The reservoir is 550 feet so.uare and
80 feet deep, and will hold when full
50,000,000 gallons of water. The pipe
from the pumping station enters this
at the northwest corner, and the pipe,
leaditfe from the reservoir to the fil
ters. leaves from the southeast corner,
thus leaving a Space of some 600 feet
hr ,ween points of entry and exit. The

will remain at rest for sev

percentage cf the mud will be depos
ited. A drain pipe baa been installed

Sunday mernlng.of the 4th cf Septem

given to the men. ‘Get rev, ly to move lo

of we'llcg. wrt and hungry, with no
prospret cf breakfast, wh-n another or
dtr crime from Maj. Wither*, adjutant
j general, let the meu come into town
j s nd act something to ect.’
"In company with a young man by
the name of Wnik r. frr m Tcnn*sscr, I
went :nto Greenville to get breakfast,
cud slept".! at a house directly oppn
si e Mrs. Williams’, It was still dark,
Just at the dawn of day.
"While walt'ng for breakfast wo
were on the frent piazza, when I beard
the report of a cannon lo the north rs
Greenville, and said to Walker: AVe
had better get back to ramp: that was
a canncn fired.' The lady at whore

As she finished s leaking another shot

across the street Into the yard of Mrs.

the street filled with Federal soldiers.
O n. Morgan cimf out cf the house in
his shirt f’ceves-and ran into the gar
den. The enemy ran down the etr*ct
on the east ai le of the house to 'cut
him off,’ and surrounded him. When
he saw that li* could net escape he
took refuge tinder a church. Mrs. Fry

Then it was that a man by the name
of Campbell, a sergeant in the Thir

rods up on his horse and said: ‘Damn
you, and your surrender, too,” and,
within a few feet of Morgan, fired his
gin, shooting him through the breast
and in the heart. This same man

the general, not 3'et dead, across the

by Mr. 1,. T. Blome in 1889. This werk
had been carefully done by Mr. Blome.
and. Mr. Butcher said, showed the ac
curacy. industry and fidelity of that
gentleman, who was so long clerk of
council, and whose memory Is still
cherished by his many friends.
THE PRESENT CODE.
The present code was ordered by
council to be a different kind of work,
the resolution directing that the legis
lation of council and the acts of the
general assembly relnVive to the city
should he put In a concise form, and
numbered off into sections, with refer
ences on the side to the volume and
page of the original nets, like the state
code. In addition to this, the codifier
was directed to make any suggestion*
n the way of needed reforms that
might occur to him. The resolution
directing this was passed on Dee. 16,
1896, and M. P. Carroll. Bsq., th n city
attorney, was entrusted with the work.
By arrangement mad” between Mr.
Carroll and Mr. Dutcber In the early
part of the present, year, the former
was to codify the acts of the legislature,
and the latter was to do the rest of the
work.
The reporter here said he understood
the new code was to be a much smaller
volume than that of 1889. Mr. Dutch

The mein changes In the ordinances,
hie said, were as follows: The time of
inaugurating a new mayor and new

after the election to the first Monday
in January following the election. A
serious flaw in the registration oath
was remedied. The old oath was that
the party had resided for the past ten
days ‘‘in the district or ward where
you now reside.” A man registered In
the First ward who lived in the See

of the civil war his life was spent in
mercantile pursuits. He commenced

wounded three times during these cam
paigns, and wag brevetted a brigadier
general In 1864 for meritorious conduct
He successively won Ific full rank
and major generalship, end was mus
tered out of service in 1866. He entered
