Water Is being pumped Into the* city mains freuri the Turknett spring, but thla supplies very little pre-saure. An auxiliary pump ha* also been Installed at the river, but It la of comparatively , small capacity. Thla leaves the wa ter supply very limited.

A great surprise is in store for j those who believe, because Roosevelt* received sttch a large majority, the republican party is Invincible now ! All signs point to democratic succest, - next November, and these signs multi ply as the eventful day draws nearer, j THINK OF THE HORSES A feast and a famine. An ex- j needing cxc<-hh In one direction may sometimes be the cause of an ex-1 eeedlng waif In another direction. I This is Augusta’s present experi-1 ence. Paradoxical a* ft may seem, * too much water has caused a water 1-*llllll- For two da's ihe Havana ah river rolled it’s muddy stream, through the city In a great flood, mak j lug water the all pervading element, and then It left a dry city. It had j broken the ranal and with It ottr municipal water supply. Having fm ! two day* gorged us with water It then I left us practically without water. I his water famine will soon he re Ib-vid In a few day* more the canal will he infflcently repaired to admit th* nig pumps to resume work. The reservoir will he filled again. There will he again the great plenty | of water to which Augusta has be ! come accustomed. And no traveler! In the desert ever welcomed more j the distant water apritfg than win; Augusta welcome the day when aguln they can turn the lancets and *ec the llqu.d stream gush forth. But in the meantime, Tor a few day, longer, wo must suffer the incon veniences and 111* of a scarcity ot water. For man arrangements have been made Water wagons traverse the city, dispensing water for house hold purpose*. The street railway company is sending water cars alun.; It* line*, for the same benevolent purpose. The various artesian and other well* of the city owned bj corporation* and Individual* have been thrown open to the public. On 11 road »t*-eet water barrels have beer. Installed lor the comfort of thirsty pedestrians. The water famine has been robbed of Its terrors so far a* man I* concerned. Hut how about the horses? There are kept in the city thousands o' homo* ami mules for service in the city, The drinking fountains at which they were formerly watered are now dry Kxtra provision must In- mad* to supply theni this necessity. Wale, may be uhtslned for these in many places, but outside of their regular I course. It Is necessary for horae owner* to sox- that thf lr drivers now attend t» watering their stock. A gentleman whose business re quire* Ihe operation of several de livery wagin'* yesterday discovered that two mules hitched to one of these wagons were famished for water They actually fought over It when it wa* presented to th* m In only one bucket, and each drank several bucket* before being satisfied. The driver had driven them all day. and not finding water on Ills usual lminds had neglected to supply them. Other drivers may be and doubt less are equally careless. It is ttu< duty of the owners to sec that horses do not suffer for want of water lb this emergency, Each one should give Instruction*, and *ee that they art carried out. a* t» the proper water ing of iheir horses. A STORE IS WHAT ITS ADVERTIS ING MAKES IT. Schllld wrote; Every man stamps hi* value upon himself. The price xve challenge for ourselves Is gixeh us.'' This statement contains most of the ’ philosophy of advertising l’artlcu larty does It explain the various ile ! gree* and kinds of store aucceaa. Almost without variation, store* ! ciime to he Ihe eonerete effect of (he advertising that I* done fur them.

And the comparison will hold true down to the tenth store In importance —or the last j on* of ail. So that, to paraphrase Schiller, ew i cry merchant stamps the character of his advertising upon his stern. And Ihe sort of reputation we challenge for our enterprise* la given them This Explains It.

Many deluded negroes in this sec- ! tion of the country are- under the impression that the people of the North and West are fairly yearning tor them to make their homes among them. But such is not the case as the facts will amply prove. It appeared likely to certain citizens of Chicago, residents of Gage Park that a colony of forty-two negro; families was to be located In their neighborhood. The negroes were re fugees from the lawless citizens of Springfield, Illinois, and they natur ally sought refuge in another city ot the same State that so promptly and effectually protect their brethren from the mob In the capital. But the white residents of Gage Park rose as one man and declared that the ne groes should never never be admitted to that choice residential locality. Robert W. Schulze, a game war den of Gage Park, is quoted as a re presentative of the people by the Chicago Dally Tribune, a rabid Re publican organ, as saying that "the lirst negro that shows his face around here will wish a dozen tiro* a he had never heard of Gage Par!:. See those shotguns there. Every body out this way has one of those. And what's more, everbody knows mighty well how to hr- his gun Will we use them? You Just bet ve will. We don't want negroes here, ant! we are not going to have them. It won’t he a case of tar and feathers for u*. We wouldn't take that. We’d simply—well just wait j till one come*. The Daily Tribune says Schulze. ' the gam* warden, wa* not the only citizen of Gage Park that was op posed to the negroes coming there and then quotes a dairy farmer who went even further than Schulze j did, as saying "we won’t stand for them here. There is no reason why they should come here and if they . *lo there’s going to be more trouble | ihan there was in Springfield. There's nothing for a "nigger" to do In this place and we can't stand for any riffraff. Wbat Schulze says about shotguns is right well use them.” That is what we call plain talk, and we would advise the ne groes to steer clear of Oage Park. Nor was Gage Park the only place that did not want the negroes as citizens. The voice of Brighton Park also Is raised loudly against the invasion of negroes and the rros pect of social equality. It was pretty fairly expressed by one of The Tri bune's correspondent, who writes to that paper. "As a resident of the south side i and one acquainted with conditions, j there, especially with reference to the colored Invasion, I wlßh to give | a few reasons for the Intensely bl' I ter f-ellng which is engendered ! against the negroes, and which if al- j lowed to continue, will most assuredly ( lead to an uprising beside which thx 1 Springfield riot will be a child's j game. The average white man will not accept the negro as a neighbor. The negro knows this fact, and he knows also, that once a family of his race i Is located In a neighborhood, prop j erty values begin to fall and the neighborhood becomes a negro ter- I ritory. Restrict the negro to negro j quarters, keep him In Ills proper ! place, and the conditions may be better. Otherwise prepare for a far worse riot than that at Springfield, and that In a short time. This Is tile reception given to the negroes who fled from the Spring Held mob by the people of anothei Illinois cifv, and there was nothing left for them to do hut move on. So they continued their Journey un til they reached the hideous South where they are made to ride in Jim crow cars and debarred the ballot box but where they can live in peace and . happiness as long as they behave themselves. This ought to convince! the negro that his best white fri'-nds are thf people of the South. They ! know hint and ho knows them, and he knows that he Is allowed to live In peace and work out his own destiny j quiet I.v if hi- Is industrious and hoes hi* own row.—Orangeburg Times i Democrat.
