Burlmgton, N. C. Sept. 2nd. ^,,I2 —To the Hon, Mayor and Board of Aldermen, of the City JBurliogton. > • : . %Ve, the Water and Light and power Commission of this City,' /jpeni it necessary at this time to advise your body of the alarming status of the City’s water supply. " 4s vou are aware the city has i^'ea dependinpr upon one five hundred foot well which in the jjeginning fumishM: abouteighty gaiions of water piea* minute, at that time the number of con-' siiiners was limit«^ and we of course had ample water, later and as the number of c6ns6mers |icreas^ our well be^n to fail, and abc^t twelve months ajro we i;^ere ablf; to arrange jwith cthe ^llevue Mills Co for the'us^ bf their deep well, and attthat^ime our one ai? compressorwas suf ficient to pfimp both weils “that js the City’s and Belleyue’s,” but niore recently and since fur ther failure of the City-.‘well pur one /Air Compressor lias been unaDie to supply sufficient air for boih vvells, in consequence of thii we have been unable to use the Bellevue well, however with in the past few days we have obtained the loan of a Compres sor from the Elmira Mills Co. {his has now been installed and i) working this compressor direct on the Bellevue well we a:e getting an additional supply, ifthich we think is about thirty s per minute, but we have t le ui^e of this well only at night hi d on Sunday and so long as it wui hold up, the cost to the city be ng $18,00 per week. You are doubtless aware that the Sydnor, Pump and Well Co, have a contract with the city for a deep well, and they have been he:e at work on a well since about April, 1st, the first well was located at a point near the power house, and after driv ing to a depth of about 160 ftet and not finding any watef what ever it was thought best by the Commission and the contractor to discontine work at that point, Yojr Committee with the well driiler spent some time in select ing, another location and finally d .-cided to make another attempt 01 a lot situated on Tarpley street near Ireland which contains about one fourth of an acre and was purchased from Mr. Geo. W. Anthony, at a cost ot at this location another well was at once startea and after getting down about sixty-six feet the' contractor was compelled to abandon the well on account of striking some drifting rock for mation. He then began work von a third . well on said lot pur chased from Mr. Anthony, and at a distance removed, which was thought far enough to over come the difficulties encountered in the pievious well on said lot, however he has already found the same drift formation and at this time is only twenty-two feet deep. At this point we wish to call your attention to the letter here to attacked by the Sydnor Pump and well Co, to Mr. Eugene Holt of this Committee. We are frank to confess that we liave no con fidence whatever in this abiiit;. of any one to furnish well that will take care of our needs. In other words we figure that it will mean an expenditure of about Five Thousand dollars to continue and get a well of about five hun dred feet depth, and after hay ing spent this amount we have no assurance that the water sup plied therefrom will be more than thirity-five to forty gallons pernnnute, and will in no wise give the results which will justify the_ expense. Vou will remember that in the beginning of the installation of water system that your Engineer and Water and Sewer- f&e Committee advised that at 'e.'iawater supply from deep v t! - would be ojily of a tempor ary r-amre, and that the only Kf.nncr in which a permanent -!■ reliable supply couId .be oL .i 'ried for the* city would be by ‘ ng an auxiUary pumping 1/,^!at some suitable point on \ liiver. However, the city :;,eer in his specifications the cost of the nec- vi:y pipe line, pumping station -iter plant to be about $20. '' '■ ' he time there was ajgreat .1 prejudnce against using, y - ' r from Haw River, our cit- ' V preferring to take chances ' deep well proposition, this ■■ :oup!ed with the laek bf nec- • y funds to get the river sup- !'s‘ warranted your Committee, =• ising the deep well for the water supply. Your Com- '■*;‘i:tee has given this watef sup^^ Pj!'’ considerable thought. We '■f- v it as a very sfierious matter, large number of our citizens whb^jsh water hi^ve hot b©^n ; taken oit because Ibf thd ihade-i quate supply;: Several piirl large manufacturing concerha would also like to b^ city wat^fc Were the supply available. Then again a very serious matter which wgbt to bji given mucH and attention is thetfafet that we; are unable to. f unia^any watctf whatever Jpr thei . tahks which arieins^l^ iU i^r se^ePr age system. Th^re ^gbt to Ik at least thirty-fi,ve to forty thou^ s£md gallons of water per day put thk>ugh these fiush' tanks;' thif quantity should be increased in dry feather.' These co^^itions noak^ it abtout^ ly clear in; the minds of your Gomimtfe '^j^tdt is inaprasible -to jget sufficient a,pd ad^uare water supply from deep w^llsiat , a «)st ;which, the city cduld pio^sibly afliord.,' ' •You ,^a*'e. aware tjiat ^we yare furnishing water to ^nsiim^ at short intervala ofthpeltimes-pfsr QF ALLEN’S Richmond, Va*, ;3ept. 20.—The State ^of ^iri^nia settled today .#ith d(^tectives;who were;^ploy^ ed to .c^pt#4 of the Al- l^h out^w mhd^which ‘‘sjhb up'’ the iC^ridlf county't^ onKarch .14!

Theology and' medicine have | not maintained a sep arate existence very long. They used to be one. Tes, there is an inti mate relatioA; between Teligion and medicine. It is well kno>>^ qi a person wfto eats with , uiithankfulriess' 'and ' illr- natured spirit, that his food will not have the sam^ eifiiect as }f he were in a kindly mood: The sa^e Is true; of medicine. If a person swallows a medi cine with suspicion, has no faith In its actloa, is more or less afraid of the one who gives hiin the medicine. It eaiuiot •do him as much goad as if he held un wavering in It.

A truly^^ religious man makes a better patient" than an irreligious man. In using the word relif^bn I am not referring " to any particular kind of ^re ligion. The Jew andr the gentile, the Catholic and the Protestant, each haves a religion in which they believe. They alsp agree in the'essentials. A religious man rhay: believe that l£ is necessary for hini to use every means in his power to get well, He may believe tliat it is perfectly proper for him to employ doctors ;dnd take msSicines. But he also feell^yes that when he' has done the best he can there is a higher , power that , ;h^ charge of his affaitis, .that absolute jus tice will be dbne him, ihat no eyil liilng can befall a good man. He goes for ward wit6 confidence, ^l0k or ■jvell; rich or poor, and gets «, - great deal more comfort out of life than the roan who has no religion. '1 have!' found myself saying many times to people who haw a chronic allr meoA, “You need religion as Well a.s medicine. You need'faith in 'an' over ruling providence that ^ides. every thing tp wise endsf ■ that, the ^ifEli^tion of disease teachie^ UJessbn that every one. should strive tdf Ie.arh.” ' / This does hot mean^i'fiiat.Slok people are to alt down and ti^st fhat M ovef- ruling providence will do, everythitig. Nothing of the sort. ^Ke Is, to u^ reme dies guided by his .best judgmf^t, but in the iise of them he caA/ beiiev^ .that 'all things are well and^that In the tepd. ail things will come out right. Any nciedl- cine has a better chance to cure a man •who holds such a faith. ■ i;; ■ ^ ' Sonie m.en are sp-faithless and ot believing, so restltsss amd desperate, their minds so uns^raed, that even the liest of medicine Am little chance to do them any good.
