The bo«rd of water commisBioners at a wefting held Saturday night ac cepted tlie atternate bid of Whitted ft White, of Charlotte, for two tur bine Morria machine water pumps. Thia waa the only definite action taken by the 'board which waa in aeaaion till 12 o'clock, examining the varioua bida and hearing the repre* sentativea of the varioua bidding firma explain the merlta of their re* apective bida. The two pumpa will have a capaci* tv of 3.500 gallona a minute each. Whitted ft White will fumiah the pumpa, fully bronte fitted and with bronxe vanea, with 74 percent sufli- clency guaranteed, together with the erection of the pump, for $3,767, |407 of thlB aum being their figure for erecting the pump. The bida submitted without includ ing erection were: R. D. Wood ft Co.. 13,900; Whitted ft White, $2,860; Allberjrer Pump Co., $3,920; Platt Iiun Works. $3,460; American Well Works. $2,064; Allis-Chalmers Co., $0,085: Buffalo Pump Co., $4,269; H^nry R. Washington Co., $3,400; American Machine Co., $3,644; American Well Works. $2,464. The following bids included erec tion; Allis-Chalmers Co., $6,532; Buf falo Pump Co.. $4,269; Washington To.. $4.085> Platt Iron Works, $4,160; American Well Works. $2,464. Owin« to the fact that only thre firms had offered binds upon the ?iectrical equipment at the meeting :>f the board last Tuesday and that Diie of these had to be counted out hpcause the check for one-tenth of he as;2:regate bid had not been sub mitted at the proper time, the board decided to call off all offers along rhis Hue and ask for a new series ji bids. Accordingly the bidders for hi.'s line of equipment appeared be- ore th» board also Saturday night, ?pinc five In number. The bids covered four items, ftC- .'ording to contract three, which call 'd for two motors. 44.000 volt switch board, complete and lightning arres- or. all f. o. b. Charlotte. The bids or the entire contract, including the four itema. aa stated above, were as follows. The American Machine & Manufacturing Co.. $7,500; *The Crock er-Wheeler Co.. $8,750; Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Co.. $7,550; General Electric Co., $7,500; A. H. WashDurn & Co.. $7,500. The task of looking over all the bids of both classes was too great to be finished in one night, although the board did not adjourn till mid night. although the board did not ad- iourn till midnight. Just before ad- lournment the board agreed on the tx'o turbine pumps, as stated above. The decision on the other bids will not be made till the next meeting, which is called for Thursday ^ight. in the meantime Engineer White will examine the pages of description Df the aparatus yet to be decided on aud will be able to advlae the board as to the merits of the various bida. The letting of thee ontract for the two electric pumps will be the last important for the new waterworks svstem, the pipe-laying contract hav ing been let last week. With all the contracts let and the right of way to the river practically completed, the actual work of constructing the new watefworka system will start. BRIEFS -Mr. R. M.

Road Mpiovements Greatest in South Apropos of the Jlldden tour which Charlotte entertained but a few days ago. this in the Houston Post, will be of interest; “The patriotism of the south is mak ing a tremendous success of the “re written” Glidden tour. After the fa mous touring classic had been twice postponed because it could not get sufficient support from the Northern clubs and the manufacturers , the southern route was adopted and fully seventy southerners will have their cars lined up for the start when the gasoline caravan moves from New York to Jacksonville via Atlanta. “But the southerners will find that the good the tour will do the good roads cause will morethan repay them for entering the event. It will also show the northerners who follow the tour tat the south is progressing in the good highway movement as rapidly as the north, in fact I believe that the percentage of road improvement dur ing the past two years is greater in the south than in the north.

C. cordially invites you and your friends to attend a free lecture on Christian Science delivered by Judge Clifford P. Smith, C. S.

The subject of the address tomorrow night will be “The Real Man and His Relation to God.” “Christian Science,” the speaker will say, “declares that man’s bright est hope for a better life in the here after cannot exceed what is in fact the present reality of life; that mortal existence is a state of ignorance' and false belief based on a material sense of things; that the actuality is a con dition of purity, completeness, Joy, harmony, and goodness—a perfect state of mental and spiritual activity, a consciousness free from error or evil; an eternal identity determined by Mind or Spirit, not by matter.” The lecture will also deal with “The Mission of Christ,” “The Divinity of Man,” "What is Knowledge”. “The New Birth,” “Health and Healing,” “The Nature of Evil,” “The Way of Life.” Mr. Sidney Y. McAden and Mr. W. M. Moore returned yesterday from New York, where they went to see the world series between New York and Philadelphia.

Is Also Captain of Carolina Basketball learn Would Take Book To Tell Troubles Carrsville Lady Says She Laid Awake at Night Be cause of Her Troubles. Carrsville, Ky.—Mrs. F. E. Coesey, of this town, says: "1 had been afflicted for nearly six years, with womanly troubles, and would suffer so much, every month! It would take a book to tell what I have suffered in that time. I got so I could not sleep at night, fro;n nervouaneaa. I had four differ ent doctors to treat me, but they could not help. When I took Cardui, it relieved me at once. I can’t praise it enough. I hardly know how to tell you what Cardui has done for me. I have taken about seven bottles, and nothing else I ever took gave me auch relief. All my frlenda know how bad I was, and how Cardui has helped me in many different ways.” Cardui is made from purely vegeta ble ingredients, which act particular ly on the delicate womanly system, building up health and itren^h, where It la most needed. During the past 50 years, it has help ed thousands of ladies, afflicted with )u8t auch troublea aa those from which Mrs. Cossey sucered. It is therefore a remedy that you can feel confidence in. Its merit is guaranteed by years of success. Don’t experiment. Take Cardui. Begin today. ^ N.

Three learns in At the Finish ^Jt is expected that the sandy roads south of Macon, Ga., will materially change the scores of the Glidden tour ists, but after the wearing-down effect of the Virginia near-highways, the real struggle of the contest plainly narrow ed to three teams. The tour continues to be a sort of royal progress in respect to the enthu siasm of the greeting that awaits It in each succeeding town or city. In South Carolina—where the roads prov ed almost as good as North Carolina— cotton-picking stopped entirely to watch the show; and civic hospitality appears in some amusing forms. Many villages display signs reading “Speed limit two miles—We want to see you.” While Anderson, to show its unlike ness to the Virginia town where the tourists had so much trouble with the police authorities , displayed a huge greeting card inscribed, “No speed limit—“This is not Harrisonburg.” Several of the cars, officially dropped as a result of penalties, are continuing the ruii “for the fun of it,” as non-con testants. And many others are limp ing. But those which are on the Job steadily are giving a remarkable ex hibitlon. Ladies Of Calvarj^ Ask Liberal Patronage The Ladies Aid Society of the Cal vary Methodist church lost its refresh ment booth by the fire which occurr ed at the fair grounds Friday night. The booth cost the society about $100 an^the whole thing was a total loss. The booth will be rebuilt and the la dies will serve refreshments as was planned. They ask a liberal patronage from the public to reimburse them for their loss by the fire. These ladies had one of the best-refreshment booths at the fair last year. They sefved a good lunch in neat style. Their booth was headquarters for the hungry, thirsty crowd. Saw the Big Games -In Phil and N. Y.
