FIRST BIG PUMP STARTED
AT ELEVEN O’CLOCK TODAY
I
' Eleven o’clock Wednesday morning the first pump at the pumping
station commenced work and an hour later 250,000 gallons of water
per hour was being forced through the long stretch of pipe to the res
ervoir. By six o'clock Wednesdayafternoon the other pump will be
started to work and they will be taxed to the limit until the reser
voir is filled.
While both pumps can furnish 12,000,000 gallons of water daily
it is not probable that more than 10,000,000 gallons will be pumped each
day, and after the water is turned on to the city the accumulation in
the reservoir will be stow, only about 4,000,000 gallons per day being
pumped in above the amount that will be allowed to come into the
city. By Monday water will be allowed to stay on permanently, but
Friday morning filtered water will be supplied for the flt'Rt time.
During the first day or two only a limited supply will be given,
probably three or four hours morning and atternoon. The first, pump
was put in operation as soon as a sufficient head of water was accumu
lated Wednesday morning, and as fast as the rise warranted it more
pressure was put on. By six o'clock it is expected that plenty of wa
ter will be or. hand to start up the other pump.
All Tuesday night patrol was kept up along the canal banks, and
a close watch kept on the breaks. However, every point stood the
strain well and more water was turned in Wednesday morning,
LIGHTS ON TONIGHT
Augusta will revel in the glare of street lights tonight for the
first time in forty days. Sufficient water reached the plant of the
Augusta Railway and Electric Co. Wednesday to enable the plant to
bo operated by water power and consequently the darkness will be dis
pelled by the brillinacv of the arc lights.
Since the night when the flood waters roared through the street
nothing but the moon and the few gas lights, together with the com
mercial electric lights, have broken the monotor/y of the darkness, but
it is ail over non and. according to an official statement made at 3
o'clock, the street lighrs will all be burning tonight.

RICHMOND, Va.—Edmund W. Hu
bard, commonwealth attorney for
Buckingham county, Tuesday night,
telegraphed Governor Swanson for
assistance, intimating that the out
law situation at Arvonia has again
become serious. The request was
for detectives to be hurried to the
scene at once.
The exact nature of developments
at Arvonia could not be learned. It
is believed that the Zimmerman-
Thomas clans, suposed to have been
driven beyond the borders of the
country by the citizens last week,
have again made their appearance
at their old naunts, throwing the
people Into a panic by their renewed
depredations.
