McNeill- superintendent of the local water and light plant The water n the river, will have to fall only 5 inches to get below the pipe which takes the water from the river to the filter plant and the water is "fallinr" in the river at a rapid rate It would necessitate an expenditure of several thousand dollars to change the ' intake pipe, according to Supt. McNeill. There Jsno danger, of a shortage of onfiltered water in case of fire, Mr. McNeill says. Pipes for pumping water direct from the river into the water tank have already been pro vided. The reservoir which contains the water- after it has been filtered holds around 100,000 gallons and the town useg about that amount of water each day. There is jio need of conserving the ufee of water, however, as the amount i used will have no effect upon the water in the river. In case it becomes jecessaryto- turn unfiltered- water into the homes in town citizens will be notified in ample, time. Very few peo ple drink water from the town's pipes arid f water has to-be pumped direct into the pipes from the river the water wiy be in the same condi tion .it' was prior to installation vof the filter plant, and unfit for drink ing purposes, f Violent Break Sends Prices Dpwn Cotton Markei-Collapses After Fur ious Opening Drop Follows Rise W to 11 Cents a Pound. NEW YORK. Sept. 7. The cotton market ; collapsed today after a furi ous opening in' which' futures showed advances of 130 to. 172 points, some Soaring : as high as 188 points above yesterday's close. The viloent break sent, prices down two hundred points, the limit permitted by any one. day's fluctuations. The close was weak with the lowest prices of the day, October finishing at 19.50 and January at 19.75. The break came after quotations crossed twenty-one cents a pound for all months and exceeded 22 cents for distant deliveries. The rise was at tributed partly to another sensational Liverpool advance. The drop started when it became apparent that big in- trests, which Had bought at much low er figures were letting go their cot ton. Prices crumpled under the strain of large offerings in the last hour un til the trading limits were reached. The fall eave the market the uniaue' experience of having reached th 200 limit in two consecutive days the! to accounjt for the break. It was sim- pIy a cae of an overbought rondition.

In spite of the extremely wide price movement of the day the close was net unchanged, the market clos ing weak at the lowest of the session. On the first call buyers foueht each other t pay the maximum price for the cotton they wanted and sent nrices ! cents apound for October delivery and T,, 77 nVi 5 ?; . fc j .10 for Maji. This eagerness today was based mainly on the wild rise in the Liverpool market, some months there being S18 a bale up as the result hot a scare over the short crop being grown on this side of the water this ; season. . following the initial bulges there was much realizing of profits by trad ers On the long side and this realizing was the mam influence thereafter, be ing heaviest toward the close when traders were as eager to sell as they were to buy on the opening. October fell off to 19.49 and May to 20.10 and closed at those levels. Chicken Supper On Rennert Church Grounds Evening of Sept. 9. Correspondence of The Robesonian. Rennert, Sept 6.
