THF. WATER PROBLEM.
take it every one in the city
is deeply rouceinwl in the water
(pi^-’ion. Certainly The News is, and
i' stands /eady to supi)ort the propo-
si'irr. v.hich offers tlie best solu-
! ii'»n.
.'•la\rr Hawkins and a great many
freiul'^’iren whn have .studied the
q'lf^tion are of the opinion that the
I nl ' Eobiticn is the river. In fact it
..• |,u?3ibie that the m?jority of cit
izens believe this way. As to the
'•»-r :.f snrh a project, opinion dif-
f*^ ' .si.iely. '^ome, who have fisrured
■ :'.;iv, f -’imafin^ that it will re-
a'. Va-t rhre-' quarters of a
iuilli'n Hollars to complete the pro-
ioct, inhers making estimates which
ran^e ev»-n under tho half million
.;i:; qr t'.'^ai.
And yet while the majority ron-
'iJor !’;o river the only proper ,so-
lutifin, there are a great many citi-
:"^'Ls. whose opinions are worthy of
r^-Kpect. who held different views
Scrae would prefer to seo the arte-
well po.ssibiiify thoroughly in-
v s igated before spending close to
a rnilllon dollars on the river ficheme.
Some believe tijat ample supplies
f oiild be had elsewhere.
The writer during the past few
^ has heard dozers of pertinent
qii"-silnns. One man desired to know
why Briar creck v.as abandoned.
Another wished to know if it would
be possible to secure an ample sup
ply without going to the river by
utilizing the water from Briar creek,
and several other streams.
Another asked why the supply at
the old Rudlain mine could not be
utilized as a surplus.
Still another wondered why the
lake near Elizabeth, which was drain
ed by official orders, w’as not trans
formed Into a reservoir, to be used
In ease of impoverished supply else
where.
Still another favored bonds to a
sufficient extent to go to the nearest
mountain supply, urging that it was
a question whether or not the river
water waa codntarainated.
Still another wished to know how the
’■iver w'ater was to be secured,
whether direct from the stream, or
from w'ells sunk nearby—a method
employed with success in certain
foreign countries. It waa pointed out
only yesterday by a certain gentle
man that it would cost $750,000 to
conjplete the river project. This es
timate was based upon careful figures
f)f the w’ork in detail, and'^by a man
who has had experience in work of
this nature. In bis opinion It will be
impo.sBible to get a satisfactory water
shod anywhere near the city. He
believes the ‘river is the answer, but
declares It will require much more
than is asked at present to complete
t he project, ^
It will he seen from the above that
the water supply question is one
about which every one is talking.
Some of the solutions offered will
appear unreasonable to one man, and
will sound plausible to another.
One thing is true; w'e are all anx
ious to secure an adequate supply
of good water. It is the one vital
need of the day. Supplied thus, there
Is no reason why manj* manufactories
could not be attracted here. A water
supply sufficient to meet all de
mands through the years to come
will do more to make Charlotte the
100,000 city than anything else.
The News Is anxiot’S to see the
qtiestion solved properly. It favors
bonds for the purposes to the extent
needed in the right solution.
But because there is such a wide
diversity of opinion it would seeni
that an open discussion of the mat
ter would be most beneficial. and,au
invitation is herewith extended to
ever^v one v,ho has studied the mat
ter to state his views.
The matter should be investigated
by experts.
What is the water consumption of
the eity during the \ear?
What is a fair estimate of the
i'mount needed to meet all demands
during years to come?
Is it poesible to secure an ade
quate supply v. iihoui going to tiie
river?
If so it is manifesi’y poor bi-.^iness
to throw away a half million or a
miilion on a proposiiion which is
not necessary.
The city is hard run. It is willing
to issue bonds, no doubt to any
amonnt. for the right sohuion of the
v.ater promblein.
What is the richt sol'Uiou?
If rhere are engineers reports
on the various streams about the
•'it;' let tlitni be imblisiiod. Give the
pnbjie aM the faeis in ihe case, and
tlun eavh man can do l.is own lig-
uring.
State the ainnunt needed. State the
amount pc'ssible to he obtained near-
tr hori;e. and the quali'.>■ of same,
and trust the a\erage eiti/.eu to form'
the right answer to the question.
If, after a full and thorough invesii-
gation, it is shown that the river
is the onl> hope, trust citizens to
support the issuance of bonds for
that purpose.
But as yet the public is not fully
satistied that this is the only solu
tion. hence the necessity for all the
facts in the case.
Let every proposition be thoroughly
investigated.
Has an expert been called in to
look over the field and make a re
port ?
If so. let tis publish his findings.
If not, wiiy has such step not
been taken?
T.= this not a matter of sufficient
importance to call forth the best of
advice?
The best of us can do our own fig
uring, but most of us are inexpen-
enccjd in such matters, and desire'
more a'lUioritative facts on aU'
phases of the subject. |
We need better streets, and will
get them in lime.
Our needs are many, but none
compares with the necessity for an
adequate and pure water supply.
The News opens its columns to I
a discussion of all phases of the
question. We are anxious to give the
public all the information obtainable
on the subject, and it is the duty of
those w’ho have formulated ideas lo
lend them to others.
Tired, Run Down
, People
A North Carolina Man Suggests a
Remedy.
Greensboro, N. C.—“For a long time
I was so run down and debilitated that
I could hardly drag around. My ap
petite w’as poor and I could not sleep
nights. I had tiled different so-called
tonics without oeuoflt. I was advised
to try your jod liver and iron tonic,
Vinol. and I am so glad I did, for it
gave me a hearty appetite, I soon com
menced to sleep soundly and I feel
strong, w’ell and more active than I
have for years. Every rundown, or
debiiitated persons hould just give
Vinol a trial.” K. Allsbrook. (We
guarantee this testimonial to be gen
uine.)
What Vinol did for Mr. Allsbrook
if will do for every weak, run-down
or debilitated person in this vicinity.
To show our faith we will furnsh the
medicine free i? it does not do as
wo claim. Come in and get a liottle on
those trrms. R. H. Jordan & Co.,

COLORED REFORMATORY.
The News is pleased to learn
that Senator Pharr has introduced a
bill providing for the incorporation
of thep roposed colored reformatory.
It is our sincere hope that the meas
ure receives the attention from leg
islators to which it is entitled. The
Greensboro Tele.gram has this to say
in favor of the institution;
“State Senator Pharr on Saturday
introduced a bill to incorporate an
industrial reform and manual training
school for colored youths, carrying
$5,000 appropriation. Tills is one of
the crying needs of North
Carolina. Every one knows that in
our cities and towns there are hun
dreds of negro boys who are on *he
way to criminality, and providing a
place where they can be taught to
work, under the direction of trained
instructors and away from the influ
ence of criminals, is one method of
diminishing the number of petty
thieves, purse-snatcbers, and pilfer
ers, generally, among the race. The
better class of negroes deplore the
fact that so many negro boys are
being educated on the streets for any
thing but a life of useful toil, but
they cannot cope with the situation*
without aid from the whites; and it
will be wise economy for the state
to provide just such an institution
as the proposed reform school.”
Instead of lumpTngr the proposi
tion, why not let citizens vote on the
various improvement propositions sub
mitted separately? By such means,
it will be possible to ascertain just
what pressing needs the majority de
side to have supplied v/ith the bond
salve.
