2 WATER FAMINE IN ATLANTA. FACTORIES SHIT DORN AND BUSI NESS HAMPERED. City W'mn Wffhont Water T*venty foor Honrs and nn Ice Famine Wa Threatened— nilMcolty Experienced in Getting Water far Drinking. There War a Small Fire hut For innately It Was Pnt Ont With Dirt and Chemical Engine*. Atlanta. July 2-i.-Atlanta has ara n been in the throes cf a water famine. Be cause of a broken valve near the pumping station the water was cut off at 8 o’clock last night and not a drop was pumped into the city until 2 o’clock this afternoon. It was 6 o'ckv'k this afternoon before th* water rtachecl the floors of high build irgs. Faucets wheezed and whisiled with dry throats, mills shut down, elevators •topped running, factories fal’ered in their daily output, engines gasped and died, bakeries went to borrowing, barbers bolted the r doors, laurdr.cs lay idle, and hotels were harrassrd by drought. The government thermometer rfg stered 87 degrees in the shade. The Atlanta fire department men stayed close to their quarters, alert and almost trembl'ng with f( ar that the gong would strike an alarm cf fire. They felt the dai ger and they wer prepared to fight it with axes and exper ience Hotels, restaurants, office buildings, fac tories, everything up town is without water and only with the greatest difficulty arethe hotels and restaurants to get enough water to cook with, baths and wa ter for other uses being totally out of the question. Elevators in the sky scrapers have stopped, factories have shut down and the streets have been crowded all day with employes woh cannot return to work until the water is turned on again. Finn noin I Foss In Lni ftp. The financial loss to the factories will run way up into the thousands. Bottled waters and other kinds on sale at drug stores, soda founts and saloons would be exhaus ed by another day of famine. Per sons who own wells never realized their superiority over the remainder of mankind until to-day and a set price of five cents u bucket prevaJls in certain parts of the city. Many wells have been kept dry by the constant run on them. Great financial loss hap resulted to the factories of the city, which are depend ant upon the water supply, owing to an enforced shut down for the day. For in stance the Exposition Mill sent its em ployes home early this morning and up town in big factories like the Inman Snrith Company’s place on Pryor street thfcire haft been no work done. In these two places alone there are possibly employes and the consequent loss has been extremely heavy. The same state of af fairs is true erf other factories in. the city. Altogether, it Is estimated 3.000 men are out for to-day because of the lack of water. Shipping of goods is at a ef.ind etill in th# uptown places where elevators are used, as it is practically impossible to move heavy goods from floor to floor without elevators. This was one of the troubles in Inman, Smith & Co.’s. The railroads of the city have not. by any means, escaped the inconvenience consequent upon the famine. In many of the railroad yards, however, there are private wells, gigantic affairs like the one in the Georgia Railroad yard, where engines take water, and thl6 has helped out wonderfully. In other yards, how ever, it has beer necessary to haul water in for the use of the locomotives. Danger of nn Ice Famine. One of the dangers threatened by the water works crisis is an ice famine. There has been a scarcity of ice in the city to day. and the small consumer? are the onee who have suffered. Several ice man ufacturing people eaid this ofiernoon they had been compelled to turn down a num ber of orders during the day. This morn ing a number of the large ice consumers ■were notified that their orders would have to b* cut. The scarcity of ice has had its effect on the soda fountains. Proprie tors of a number of fountains were told early to-day that the lack of water would make it impossible to have their order* completely filled. There was a small fire in the rear of the Wall street office of the Southern Expre* company this morning With a fair start it would have meant great loss to Atlanta. Having no water to fight ihe Are. Chief Joiner’s laddies used dirt, and fhis new weapon of defense, combined w!*th the chemical engine’s efforts, put an end to the Maze. At a mass meeting to-night the citizens elected H. H. Cabaniss chairman of a committee <to be named by him to co-op erate with the City Council to find the causes of the waterworks’ trouble and the remedy for it. MUST SERVE TXVEXTY DAYS.

JUDGE HART’S CHARGE. Severe Arraignment of “Blind TA ger" Keeper* anil Gnnililer*. Dublin, Ga., July 24.—Yesterday Judge John C. Hart delivered one of the most sensational charges to the grand Jury ever heard in* Laurens county. He said that those who sold liquor Illicitly were not men but creatures, and that the only other meaner person was he who patronized a blind tiger and then would go before the grand Jury and lie about it. In the opinion of Judge Hart Ihe midnight assassin and the person guilty of arson were better men than the blind tiger keeper. One would take your life and the other destroy your property, but the blind tiger would destroy your soul. Gambling was then touched upon severely. He said that buying cotton or other futures was as much wrong as playing cards for money, and that the law should be made to apply to this form of gambling as well as the others. Judge Hart's charge was well received by the people. GUYTON HIGH SCHOOL. Prof. Hortln of llldgcTroy, S. C., Elected Principal. Guyton.

AVERILL'S STAND. Surprl.ee HI. Friend* at lleanfort. Sara) Station Pamphlet*. Beaufort, 3. C., July 24.—The starul ; taken by Col. AverHl. formerly receiver of the Port Royal Railroad, and a resi dent of Beaufort for several years, in ref erence to the Port Royal naval station matter, comes as a shock to many of his old friends here. During his residence lit Beaufort, the Colonel worked zealously for the commercial progress of both Port Royal and this town, and ot that time he thought our hkrbor the finest on the Southern coast. Now he appears to have change-1 his opinion, and is working with equal ardor to injure the place, where, during his residence, he rnjoyed the es teem of the best citlzns. The Citizens' Commitlee are busi ly engaged In mailing the at tractive pamphlets. illustrating the j Port Royal naval station, to the press in j the leading cities of the country, and to j influential persons in Washington and j elsewhere. The little volume is a credit to tho gen- | tlemen of the Beaufort and Port Royal Committees, who worked so earnestly to collect the information it contains. Mr. William H. Lockwood has been untiring in his work as chairman of the commit tee. Whatever may be the outcome of the. matter, the peopie here feel that these pamphlets will, at least, correct any erro neous Impression that may prevail as to the magnitude of the government works on Paris Island, which the enemies of Port Royal have sought to convey.

CRAVKY, OF PENSACOI/N, FLA. •'I am, as you already know, a firm advocate of the virtues of mineral waters generally, and regard it as a great mis fortune that their value is not more fully appreciated by the public at large. "From personal experience 1 unhesi tatingly endorse the water of Suwanee Springs as among the most valuable of its class of which I have any knowledge. "Its reputation as a curative agent In rheumatic affections is proverhlal, and I consider it absolutely invaluable as a remedy in disorder of the digestive sys tem and as a restorative in general de bility. from whatever cause It may arise. "Aside from the medical properties of the water, Suwanee Springs, with its delightful location, and perfect sanitary arrangements, is, in my opinion, one of the most attractive, healthful and rest ful spots I have ever seen. "Its entire freedom from all material that could possibly prove offensive to any of the senses adds not a little to its value as a resort for both invalids and those in need of resi and recreation." • • IT HAS NO EQUAL AS AN APPE TIZER. Mr. G. C. Crom, Route Agent Southern Express Company, says: "My oldest boy, Curtis, has been a sufferer from indiges tion for the past five years, and I have never found anything to give him relief until 1 purchased a. bottle of Sloat’s Vege table Bitters. It has certainly been a wonderful medicine in his case. We keep it in our house and would not be without It for ten times its cost. I cannot speak of It too highly, as it has completely made a cure of my boy, who was an in tense sufferer from indigestion.” Traveling men Indorse Stoat's Vegetable Bitters as n remedy for all forms of Indigestion.
