The Legislative Contest. One of the most peculiar phases of this campaign is the still hunt for Sena tor Sherman’s scalp being conducted by jx-Governor Foraker. For the price of a United States senatorship is involved in this election, and should, the Repub licans be victorious, a very interesting fight will be inaugurated in the legisla ture between Sherman and Foraker. Sherman ia very strong in the party, and Foraker has a large and influential following. As to the relative strength of the two men little can be known definitely untfl the legislature is chosen. Foraker’s adherents have been at work in every county striving to secure pledges from candidates for the legisla ture. Sherman’s agents, too, have been working in ths same direction. Party leaders have made the most strenuous efforts to keep the senatorial succession in abeyance lest it might injure ths state ticket or give the stats ticket to the Democrats. In the event of the People’s party having the balance of power m the leg islature. it is alleged tnat they will vote for Foraker. "Anything to beat Sher man” is their cry.

They are not only fail ing to give tbe people supply but there is a total failure of supply at the reser voir. Anyone who will go down and take a look at the reservoir, filled with tad-poles snd covered with green scum, will agree with tue that not only is it liable to cause sickness, but there is absolutely so little there that it wouldn’t stand six hours pumping. “Iam in favor of withholding tbe rents and taking steps at once to abro gate the contract. 1 believe that we should act now aud here and in a de cided manner upon this subject.” Alderman T&lmadge said: “I agree with Mr. Rucker. The reservoir speaks for itself and is standing evidence that tbe contract with the city has been vi olated by the Water Works Company and should be brought to an end. lt is humbug and a fraud of tbe first water, and I am iu favor of advertising for bids and erecting a new system of Wa- : ter Works to be owned and controlled by the city of Athens.” Alderman Hodgson was of the same opinion, stating that at tbe time the system was established, he had told the engineer tbe supply was totally inade quate. Alderman Rucker again spoke on the subject, stating that Mr. R. L. Bloom- could haul water ftom the rivor in tanks cheaper than he wil l get-it from the Water Works Company. He was in favor of settling the question at once eveu if Mr. Howell should cut off his hydrants to morrow and leave the town without water. Alderman Dorsey suggested that this would be a great risk to property hold ers, aud wanted to know if it couldn’t be gotten at in some other way. Alderman Talmadge was in favor of going back to first principles and fight ing lire as was done in the days when we had no waterworks system. Alderman Dorsey opposed this idea of shutting off the water entirely at this season of the year so dangerous as to fires. Alderman Rucker submitted some figures to show cb»t the rents paid by the citizens for water per year am ;t» ed to 6 per cent on $200,000, at:J asked if the citizens were going lo pay such prices any longer for such valueless service. He was in favor of taking the bull by the horns and settling the ques tion. “But,” said Alderman Dorsey, “the bull is too big to take by the horns in such manner.’ A great deal depends ou the grit of the man that takes hold,” said Aider- man Rucker. Alderman McDowell agreed with Alderman Dorsey that such a at p would involve great risk. Alderman D rsey asked the city at torney what would be tbe effect if Mr Howell should shut off all the water ‘•It would annul the contract,” re plied Mr. Cobb, “That would he the beat thing that could ever happen for Athens,” said Mr. Rt’cker It a as stated that Mr. Howell would be coim elled to give service for two months longer at least. After some farther discussion, the resolution was read. It was to hold up the payment of the water rents and i authorize th" Water Works committee, if it should deem best, to institute pro ceedings to sei aside the contract, an>< also to collect data as to the ci sts, etc of erecting a new system of Water Works to be owued by the city of Adams is president of the socl^^ will call tho meeting to order.

Fearful Collision on the High Bridge at Danville Yesterday Morning. Gekknsboro, N.C., Nov. 2—[Special.] —There was a fearful collision ou tbe Richmond and Danville railroad ai— Danville, Va., this morning. The south bound vestibule limi’.ed No. 37, ran into a freight train on the bridge across the Dan river. One span of the bridge went down, carrying with it the freight engine and six cars. Engineer Wingate and Conductor Royal went down with the general crash and were killed. Another train hand was also killed, but his name could .not be learned. Some others are reported hurt, but as usual the railroad people have their mouths closed and refuse to give out any information. No one on the ves tibule was Imr , but the engine is some what demolished. The collision was a very serious one, and apparently inexcusable. The bridge across the Dan is an iron Struct ure, sixty or seventy feet high. It is in the city limits and less than one hundred yards from the Danville de pot. It seems that the vestibule was run ning off time. The first section of 8 freight train, number 46, north bonnd, made a dash for north Danville before the vestibule came in and met .it on the bridge with the results as stated ‘-..■S' PAT’S GREAT WONDi We are surrounded by dang the way from the cradle to tbe “The great wonder is,” as Pat swyN -‘that after getting out of our cradle we live long enough to reach ou grave.” Thousands are out of health! —morose, morbid and miserable, be cause they do not avail themselves of the rt-medv within easy reach of them.
