Yon say we mast bate our. action ay we mast bate our. action on thj experience of others, and on tlie findings of trained ssientists a j the opinion of the wise men, afid the experience of other cities and towns. That is exactly what tltflf writer is doing, bat has our 3ntifiio and wise men given the voters of Salisbury any data on wSUs, oieeks. rivers and so on to en able them to vote intelligently for - bla. choice of water or bow it should bt had," or are e expeoted to vote for the present plans just because through- some soientifio scarce, it is aid jto. be the very thing? - t is not true that people in Sal isbary who are able are sinking wwfle? , And doesn't at least one of $ur doctors have a -well on hit - pftfpertt? And, if thesanftorinm if fupplied by well water isn't . titt proof from a soientifio stand point that well witer is better than oar present creek system? andoan they show that the pro posed plan will furnish any blotter . quality of water than the present stream, or that its qaality will improve or get worse?

Jt seems strange that thJ didn't get their water from Siohardson's creek which flows through an undisturbed sec tion and is only two miles away . The writer is not a soientifio -expert on water, and is not seeking anything out of this but good water but I do claim to be some wise in seme things. I am in fa vor of schools, but if the votes for water and schools are not taken separately I shall vote against both'. If well water can't be had what about a gravity syBtem, a plain water main from the reser voir at pumping station up to or near the head of the creek, with supply pipe .running from main to springiI claim by so doing the supply will be increased to a very large extent owing to the f aot that it would prevent seapage into the ground, and also evaporation by ts i beat in July and August and give us nearly as muon water as we gTet through the winter months in mv opinion better water lan can be obtained from the mat at a far less ooit. Are there no wise scientific men in the city df Btamlet. N. 0., who are espeoi ally trained in water art? They itava a gravity system installed on orsek rising near Hof man and flows directly through the town, whv did thev sa up the creek Whibh fl 3 ws through the town and capture the water and let it flow into their leiervoir which is in the city by gravity instead of install ing a pumping plant at the,' same cr$ek right in town? V h& is wrong with the people of tbe oitr of Rockingham, N. C? They have a big creek flowing right through the oity with tour ing boats in it for rent, run some of the great factories by water power, and purchase their water from Hamlet, N. 0., which flows from the Hamlet reservoir -to the Rookingbam reservoir by gravity, jfchd, Hamlet would no doubt be lad to furnish water to other points in Eastern North Carolina as far down as Wilmington, and oaie points in South Carolina in thVeame manner. In the city of Asheville, N. 0. W nava tne Deao"Ini trench (tma iivei tonooing tne oiy, they have the gravity system lead ing from the mountains, and they allow no trespassing on tbe water shedy there is plenty of water in the French' Broad and it seems strange that they would run a p ;pe line awar put to the side. of. the mountain to gt water, it is pre sumed though it wss'done to g9t a ereat pressure with a small x- nenie, rather than the quality of t te water. .. . "- - Are there no soientino men m New York city who are especially " -s. . n TITL x trained in tne water arsr w ny did they tunnel under the river and go to the Appalaohain Range of mountains for their water, ,and capture it at the head of the streams? That is a gravity sys tem, and why is trespassing on that water shed prohibited? It is one of the best and most expensive plants ih the world. Are there no soientifio men who are wise and especially trained in tbe water art in Can Franoisco? They have a gravity system, costing millions and thiy tunneled through moun tains of the Rocky mountain range a great distance from the city, built trestles acre as valleys to car ry the water from one mountain to the other in order to capture the water at the head of the streams and deliver it to the oity by gravity. Why did they fool all that money away? And why is the water shed guarded and no trespassing allowed? It is because those who are skilled in the art have found that any kind of river water will not do, and if it was possible to filter bad water and make it pure, the money which was spent in these great cities for gravity systems would have been spent for filtering plants. Now as you say, we jtnusi base our aotion on the experience of others, and on. the Audit gs of trained .scient ists, 4nd the opinion of : hf .wise men anjoVtBe'xpeTrtenfle of'otjrtr cities on water, and if the brains and actions of the above named cities cannot be relied on, then I say rely on our home grown brains and vote f or river water.
