Prince Alexander did not sign the deed
of abdication. He simply wrote on a
slip of paper, "God save Bulgaria" and
signed "Alexander." His kidnappers
were tipsy and did not notice what he
had written. It is the general opinion
that the pies sure expressed by the kings
oi Roumania and Servia at Alexander's
triumph points' in the direction of in
creased uuity.

' : Filtration of Water ftnppllee.
The following letter from an author
ity on the water supply question has
been received by a gentleman of thu
city:
;.' Washington, D. C, August 28.
Dxar Sir : I certainly believe that
as civilization advances and population
increases tie necessity for filtering river
water supplies becomes m rc and more
imperative. 1 his is the case in JiiUrope,
. .
and wemuBt f lu;w suit as our country
becomes oldor.
In the futnre we must Troidu for some
other means of sewage disposal thau
by ; permitting it to fl w into
our rivers. The ideal state to which
11 our efftrts should tend is one in
rhich all fiowage is purified and utilized
as lertinur, ana in waicn ail water
supplies are clear and bright and thor
oughly guarded against any epidemical
pollution.
Tho supply of pure and wholesome
water to a community I regard as of the
first importance, and I know of no way:
to secure euoh a supply from, the ordi
nary riycrs of the country except
by filtration. Storage in large subsid
ing basins is expensive anu unpenect,
especially in the South, and is often
times entirely out of the iu stion.
I certainly think that in planning the)
water-works for a town or city to use!
ordinary river water filtration works;
should be provided, or provision should
be made for tneir aacuuon at suon time; being only of the listed taxables. Har
as the finances of the city or town will ton's Creek loses 212,542; Buokhorn

The American free Traders. .i
Extract from an address just issued i
The prbciples of free-traders may b
simply stated as follows: 1. They do
mand that the whole system of federal
taxation be so reconstructed and read''
josted that all the taxes which the peo
pie pay shall be reeeived , by the gov?
ernment without the diversion of any
part for the fostering of private inter
ests. $
2. That the promotion and true pro
tection of domestio industry is to be
found in the removal of all taxes from
ar tides which constitute the foundation
or are necessary to the processes of our
various industries, and that the, inci
dence of taxation be restricted, as far as
possible, to articles which are ready for
final consumption, and ot whioh the use
is voluntary rather than necessary
3. They claim that the abandonment
Of the present high, discriminating and
unnecessary tariff taxes, and the levy of
national revenue on a comparatively few
artioles, on which taxes can be oollected
with the least interference with the
freely-chosen pursuits of the people, kre

the country full industrial employment
and high wages, abundant production
and low cost, extended markets and a
permanent revival of commercial activ

for the police to arrest a drunken white
man at the house of Mrs. Owens, South
Wilmington street, near East Dane
Policeman W. W. Willis went there
and found that a white man named John
R. Williams was raising a disturbance.
Williamson is from Franklin county and
is a guard at the penitentiary. As the
polioeman attempted to arrest him, Wu
hams' drew a knife and out the dfficor.
A wound many inches long extending
from the rear of the thigh across the
hip, almost to the abdomen, was made.
this wound being over an inch in depth
Another wound was inflicted upon the
left wrist. The plucky policeman didn't
mind these injuries and took Williams
to the guard house, being assisted by
Sid. Solomons. Officer Willis locked
Williams up and not

then did
he send for a phyBician.
He
was taken
home and without even a murmur al
lowed his painful wounds to be
