PROPOSED WATERWORKS
The Joint Committee Organize nncl Set
tle Down to Work.
The joint committee of aldermen and

cock, W. C. Baker, J. C. Wofford and R.
W. Satterfield on the part of the citizens.
The delegation on the part of the citi

bers sent in their providential reasons for
not being able to attend.
The committee was called to order and
on motion Capt. I). W. K. Peacock was
made permanent chairman, J. H. Wikle
and A. M. Willingham secretaries.
A committee composing of Messrs.

left to negotiate with an engineer to give
estimated 1 cost of the waterworks. An
engineer will be here shortly and will go
over the ground with the committee and
give the figures. The committee will go
to work getting up statistics and will
prepare a full statement for the consider
ation of the people of the town with
vvhorn it will be left to say whether we
shall have the works or not. By the
time the legislature meets in November,
when necessary enactment will be secured,
the committee will have everything ready
for the consideration of the voters.
The committeemen present voted unan
imously in favor of pushing the matter,
and on motion it was resolved that the
committee was unanimously in favor of
waterworks.
. The gentlemen discussed matters a
great deal in a very business like way
and in a spirit that ensures the erection
of the works. The meeting adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman.

BARTOW PULVERIZING CO.
'1 lie High tow hi- Wmehouse purchased
for the Works.
The Bartow Pulverizing Company have
purchased the Hightower warehouse,
where they will establish their plant. The
citizens of this city have guaranteed two
adjoining lots ps a donation to the com
pany, and just as soon as the machinery
arrives, which has been orderttd, every
thing will be put in working order. It is
expected that this will be accomplished
some time during the month of February.
The establishment of this enterprise
augurs great good for the city. As
stated in a previous issue, the company
propose to work up the ores that are
found in such great quantities at our
very doors. They will manufacture ochre
for paints and ultimately make paints.
They will also handle manganese, baryta,
soap stone, etc.
Mr. J. D. Jones, the representative of
the company, is hard at work making all
necessary arrangements.
Don't fail to come and see me. It pays
just as well to trade with a cash man in
the fall as it does in the summer, and
you all know how it pays then.
Yours truly,

Uncld .JVft'Caiu and Old “General ”
That celebrated old engine, “Genera,!”
that figrres so extensively in the war lit
erature of the present day, is now doing
good service as a switch engine at this
place. It will be remembered that the
“yanks,” during the late unpleasantness,
stole it from Uncle Jeff'Cain at Big Shan
ty and carried it to Chattanooga. All it
takes to make that affair realistic novv-a
daye is for the “yanks” to steal it again,
for the old engine and its veteran engin
eer. Uncle Jeff, are inseparably together
and are doing good work at the present
writing. It is hardly probable that any
one could make off with it now for Uncle
Jeff watches it a little closer than he did
when the “yanks” captured it.
Don't forget the Daisy Shirt when you
want a cheap one, North Peerless when
you want the best in town, Collars and
Cuffs to match, and a beautiful line of

Tlie Inimitable Bill Arp
The Anderson, S. C., Intelligencer says:
“The long wish of our people to hear and
see the inimitable Bill Arp (Hon. Chas.
If. Smith), of Georgia, has been gratified.
According to announcement, lie lectured
in the -court house ‘last Tuesday and
Wednes lay evenings. His subject on
Tuesday evening was “The Swing of the
Pendulum.*’ A large and intelligent au
dience greeted the distinguished philoso
pher, wao was introduced- by his old col
lege chum, Hou. E. M. Ilucker. To at
tempt to give a synopsis of the lecture
would be an injustice to the lecturer, for
throughout it sparkled with humor, logic
and common sense. Mr. Arp makes no
attempt at oratory, but delivers his lec
tures with that free, easy style with
which he writes. His lecture recited
events and observations for forty years
back, comparing the circumstances of
to-day with those of the period before the
war. He held his audience for about an
hour and a half, and when he finished
every one seemed sorry t hat lie could not
continue for*an hour or two more.”

What pleasant recollections the name of Long

“Be up and doing,*
With i heart for any fate”—
in his “ Psalm of Life.” But what I was thinking
of particularly when I start and was the lines from
the “Building of the Ship”—
“Build me straight, O worthy master!
Staunch and straight, a goodly vessel.
That shall laugh at all disaster.
And with wave and whirlwind wrestle;”
