SHAW, Men's, Youth*,’ Boys’ and ’ Children’s sail; Made Clotting 119 Forsyth St., lMERICUS, ga. The vexations question of a water supply for Americus seems In the way of immediate settlement, and of a settle ment entirely satisfactory. For some time it hat been known that tho supply of water was not sufficient to meet the constantly Increasing demands of Americus. This has hung like a cloud over men who had the city's af faire in charge. Theyiometime since realized that the springs which it was originally supposed would supply the city for years to come bad beenoverestl mated or that the city’s growing capacity had been underestimated. The result wss the cloud before mentioned. But the clouds are clearing and that sheen of silver which is said to be behind each cloud is beginning to show through and make the prospect for water brighter. This is good news. Several months ago the city fathers began to consider the matter of water in its vital importance to Americus, and they discusaed several plana for meeting the fact that was staring them in the face. But the city fathers are intelli gent men, and they knew that words and nothing but words, that words without work would amount to naught in getting more water. They knew that the people of Amerious needed water and that they must have it. So without parleying any longer than was absolutely necessary they decided to have an arte sian well bored at the water works pumping station. They let the contract to Mr. H. D Loyd, and work was commenced at once. Yesterday morning the men who were working on the well were rewarded for their labors by seeing a stream of spark ling water rise from tho hole in the ground whloh they were drilling to height of several feet. The drill wss taken out 'and it was found that water had been struck. The well flowed about fifteen gallons a minute. This water was Struck at a depth of 578 feet. Now that It la reasonably oertaln that water will beobtalned the work on the well will be pushed more rapidly than ever. It is confidently expected that when the well has been sank deeper that a supply of water the equal of that fur nished by anylwell in the country will be strnok. It is to be hoped that these ex- pectations will be realized. TUbee who tasted the water whloh flowed from the well yesterday eay that it Is the equal of any of whloh they have ever partaken. It ie limpid and cold and smacks strongly of mineral qnaUtles which will make it mneb (ought after. If when the well la completed the flow ie such as the history, of all wells has shqwn to follow In the wake of flf- teen gallons per minute for the first flowing stream struck there wilt be cause for great rejololng, for Americas’ water supply puzzle will have been solved and the people of this city will haVc the purest and beet water ever served through a waterworks. Some of the water whloh flowed from the well yesterday will be analyzed. It is expeoted thatthe result will show a water wHch villi • rival •to-mesUcioul properties that furnished by many of the popular springs of tho country, The striking of thle water mesne much for the people of Americus. One who is in a position to know told a Timks-Rxcordib reporter that if the flow of the well is such as is to be pected the cost of water will bo greatly reduced In Americus. He said also that If the well turned ont as expeoted there will be no more trouble of a scarcity of water In Americus, for the springs al ready used and the well together would furnish enough of nature's beverage to supply the demand for years to come. It was thought at one time that In or der to get enough water to meet the de mand the creek would have to be tapped. It will be of special Interest to know that a flow of water at this well will do away with the probability of the creek being tapped, which was a stumbling block in the way of Americus peonle. There is every indication that this block will be speedily removed. PEOPLE YOU KNOW And Soma Yon Don't, Who Como and Go In a Day.
