AND RETURN TO THE WELL
FOB THE PRESENT. IT WILL COST ABOUT
$24,000 FOR FILTERS, AND WITHOUT
THEM THE RIVER WATER IS MOST UK-
SATtst-ACTOitif
Pure watei!
Ye mud chewers, think of that!
Well the prospects are now fav -
able for Romans to once again Le
served with a full supply of clear
well water.
Aiderman T. J* McCaffrey, chair
man of the Water Works Committee,
has just returned from Atlanta where,
it is said, he has been making a close
inspection of Atlanta’s great water
works system and especially the flit
ering process used by the Gate City
in purifying her river water so that it
may be made clear enough for use.
Chairman McCaffrey will submit
bis quarterly r eport along with Su
perintendent McGuire’s report, tc
City Council on Monday night, an t
the same documents will doubtless
contain Jsome interest iig reading
matter
Oue thing the Hustler of Rome
‘‘got onto” is tbe fact that filters
will cost the city nearly $4,000
pack and it will require about six
of them to do the work on the new
system. Os course th city can’t
afford to purchase these filters
just now. Times are too hard and
the people can’t stand any heavier
taxation —until later.
U„ the other hand the people of
Rome are not a race of dirt eaters
and they just simply can’t drink
the liquid that is being served from
rhe Oostanaula —many of them
will dig wells first.
Mr. McCaffrey and Superin
tendant McGuire propose to make
an examination of the old wells
tomorrow, or the earlier part of the
week. They think that the last ar
tesian fre 11 be - ed—the one that
rapped the muddy waters of h«
Etowah, can be plugged up and
th is nxid shift out from the pun
crystal- liquid of the old wells, the
limpid out put of which made
Rome famous lor the purity of her
water tor many years.
If this can lie done, then the big
reservoir on Fort Jackson can lie
kept full and cut off, and only
tapjx'd in case of fire, while the
people will have the good old pure,
clear, cool well water of the past,
servetl to them once more.
The pumps and machinery of
the old Water Works station are
intact and ready for use, ami the
day t hey begin pumping clear wa
ter for Romans will be a big day
forthe —women and children and
especially the Door of our city.
If the mud well can be plugged
—acid pure water served, while
the city is kept safe and secure from
lire, because of the millions of
gallons of Oostanaula that needs
but to be awakened from their
slumber on the mountain to rush
dewn iu mud torrents on the fire
fiend, then tins is the practical
temporary solution of the city s
water problem —and oar only
source of immediate relife.
If this solution can be attained
bv any oue, then Superintendent
McGuire and Chairman McCaf
frey are the men to do the work —
They are practical, they are co «-
servative, they are level headed,
they are so safe that their judge
ment may be relied upon —and if
they deliver us from mud Rome
water drinkers will rise up and
call ’em blessed.
A TEMPERANCE SERMON.

CALDWELL HOTEL BURNS
Together Wlih Several Other Build
Ings one of the Worst Fires That
\ (
ever Occurred in the History ot the
City.
Birmingham, Ala., July 22.—A
$500,000 blaze visited this city this
inoring. The Caldwell Hotel the pride
of the city and one of the handsomest
structures of its kind in the soutn. is
in ashes, as is also the mammoth Jour
story structure on the opposite corner
occupied by the Stower Furniture
Company.
A few minutes after 1 o’clock an
alarm of tire was.turned.in from box
22, corner of Twenty firsr street and
First avenue, and in an incredibly
short time the fire department was on
band.
The water pressure was very
uusatisfactroy aud when tbe firewas
located iu the Stowers Furniture
Company’s building, it was evi
lent that a great blaze was on. As
soon as possible the apparatus was
got ready for the fight, which pro
ved one of the most stubborn ever
witnessed in this city.
It was but a few minutes ere the
•mt ire four floors with their im
mense piles of furniture were a
seething, roaring mass of flames
leaping skyward. >
..The flames next entered the
mammoth house of the Perry
Mason Shoes Company and in a
short while this, too, was wrapped
in flames. The heat was intense,
but the fire laddies -worked brave
ly, for smoke was issuing-from the
casing of the Caldwell hotel just
across the way, and it was thought
this structure would also follow
Before the was express
ed, the immense, .gilfled dome,
which crowuofl the handsome edi
fice, was seen to be in flames.
Soon the entire west side of the
structure, facing the now almost
burned building across the way,
was aflame wherever the demon
could secure a hold.
From here the flames swept inward
and soon tbe Caldwell was doomed.
Louder and louder roared tbe flames
and fiercer and fiercer grew the heat
until it was almost unbearable. The
fight was a tierce one and the fire
men redoubled their efforts. '"Twas
in vain. Nothing could stem the
fiery element and when the Caldwell
was given up for lost, attention was
directed to other directions to fight
for property’ now apparently doomed.
A bagnio occupied by Clara
Spaulding was also destroyed with
contents.
The Casino building around op
Second avenue and Twenty-second
street was also in flames for awhile,
but was soon extinguished.
The losses are: Stowers Furniture
Company. §30.000; building $20,0C0,
Perry M won Shoe Company, §4O
000; building §20,000.
Caldwell Hotel and furnishings
§300,000.
