SUPPLY OF DRINKING
WATER.
WThatever else we need, and
our wants are many, we need
for health and happiness a plen
tiful supply of pure and whole
some drinking water.
Artesian wens irom one
hundred to five hundred feet
deep are oeing bored all over
the country and supply whole
1 1 111
communities with pure water.
Let us issue bonds payable in
ten, twenty or fifty years and
place a number of these wells
about town, scattered here and
there so that they can be reached
from all parts of the city.
mm 1 1 r- -t
The health ot our people is
paramount, btreet 1111 proves
ments, electric lights and water
works are all important, but first
and foremost must attention be
given to a plentiful supply of
good drinking water.
It used to be regarded as im
possible to secure good water
under conditions existing here
but that day has passed. A few
hundred feet underneath us is to
be found all that can be desired.
The town of Lumberton the
county seat of Robeson suffered
epidemics of typhoid fever. They
were fortunate enough to elect
an enterprising Mayor, who
gave some thought to the mat
ter. On his suggestion bonds
were issued by the town and
some eight or ten wells were
boicd in different localities and
now the people are enjoying the
luxury of good health without
the fear of epidemics.
These wells are the need of
the hour. We hope that the
matter will be taken in hand
and carried on to successful
operation.
HON. J. H. SMALL.
The senatorial contest is com
manding so much attention just
now that there is danger of sac
rificing other questions and los
ing grounds at other points.
Mr. Small must have the at"
tention of our people in this
district from now on. He must
be re-elected to his seat in Con
gress. Our Republcan friends are
up to some sort of a tiick. They
are not fools enough to run two
tickets and have never intended
it. Doubtless they think such
proceeding: would tickle fhe
Democrats immensely, and make
them so sure of success that they
will become careless and inact
ive. Press the battle, good friends
at all points. Bring every vote to
the polls and insure the re-elect
ion of Mr. Small.
A F iendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on
C. F. Collier of Cherokee Iowa
that nearly proved fatal. It
came through his kidneys. His
back got so lame he could not
stoop without great pain, nor
sit in a chair except propped by
cushions. No remedy helped
him until he tried Electric Bit
ters which effected such a won
deriul change that he writes he
feels like a new man. This
marvelous medicine cures backs
ache and kidney trouble, purines
the blood and builds up your
health. Only 50c at all Drug
Stores. Dr. J. H. Pool, South
