OUR CITY WATER A.GAIJN. We understand that some of the city and ater works officials are dis pleased at something we had to say about the city water a few daya since We were not after the officials as in dividuals; we were efter the water We said it wus bad, and we stick to it. We did not then know what was the matter with it, or who was to blame for it, but we knew the people are paying for good water and were not getting it and said so, in sub stance. We have looked into it since, however and find that it all comes from a probibly unexpected source, ror which the officials, v hoever else may be, are doubtless not to blame. A gentleman who understands the trouble, informs us that the large terra coJta piping that brings the water from the main stream passes directly under where the phosphate mills stood, and that the mills had in them when they were burned down rectntly, about on hundred tons of ac.d. This, of course, was left on the earth iu the debris of the fire, and when the rain came a few days ago, some of this acid was dissolved and found its way into thes pipes and coming in contact with the iron in the city piping, it formed sulphate of Iron, or coperas, which, though not dangerous, does not taste very good The rain we had since the fire, was light or doubtless we should have had much more complaint of the wa ter. When the rains of the approach ing winter se1: in we shall have a full supply of copperas water unless our water works people just take the pipes up and move them away from the bed of acid. Indeed this will have to be done, as it will no doubt effect the water for yearsj.for 100 tons of acid will last a long time. And in moving the pipes it would be well to remember that it will gradually spread to considerable distance. We make the suggestion that they move the pipes, if possible before any more rain falls, as they will no doubt be compelled to do so sooner or later. WISE AND OTHtK WISE. If money could be as easily bor rowed as trouble, this world would be full of round shouldered men. They who are over anxious to know how the world values them, will sel dom be set down at their own price. To get angryjs to become unhappy Somebody has said that an incor rigible office seeker out West, died notions iaoe, and! his friends appli ed to a journalitt for,an epitaph for his tomb he suggested this, "Here lies John Smith in the only place which he never sought. A Western exchange says, a" rattle snake was killed in a saloon in bis town. The Bnafce was bilten.in a light with another snake, and went to the saloon for some antidote and was killed:' ";v , :. : s r Gov. Flower, of New Tork, has shown by his conduct during the fight against the cholera, that he is the right man in the right place, for such an emergency. An enterprising Individual has bid $ia0,C00 for the exclusive privilege of selling peanuts at the World's Pair.

If this country ever hat a king or emperor it will probably be a success ful prize fighter. See the willingness of all classes of our people to bo down to the new champion. The ' Monroe doctrine" once more confronts our British cousins: this time in Venezaela. Now that Lieut. Peary has been rescued, why would it not be a good idea to put a stop to this Arctic ex pedition foolishness ? The statistician is yet unhcin who can turn out statistics to please all political parties. The republicans quote commissioner Peck as "an em inent statistician," while the demo crate accuse him of being an ordiuary everyday liar, and they have appoint ed a committee t he duty of which is to prove the accusation. A New York daily disinfected the paper upon which a recent issue was printed. It is a great pity that some of the matter printed in the New York papers could not be disiufected before it gets before the public. A clever swindler was frustrated trying to pass a forged draft for $3000 from the State Bank of Wis consin, on the fark national cans of New York. THE KILLING OF BROWN. Winston Sentinel. Mr. W. H. Allison, or Btatesvtiie, a brother of Thos Allison, was in the city today on his war to Dobso-i to carry home the re-t t ius of his brother for interment. Bein -i -' "ed by a representatives of the Sentinel, Mr Allison gave the following account of the killing of Brown, which he heard from a preliminary examination of witnesses, both for the State and tLe defence, while he was attending the recent session of Dobson court: Tho difficulty began over a foot race. They were to meet and run this race but Mr. Brown did not come to the appointment. Allison met him later that evening and asked him for the forfeit of money. They had up a forfeit. Thereupon Brown made some insulting remark and then they went from one word to another until Brown struck at Allison with his fist, grazing his had, aad knocking Alii son from the sidewalk where they were standing He then followed Al lison into the gutter. Allison had a stick in his hand which Brown jerked awy from him. It was then that Allison drew his pistol. Brown ad vanced upon him and struck at him with the stick, knocking Allison's hat off. 'It was then that Allison fired the first shot. He was backing at the time down the street and warned Brown not to come any further to wards him, or he would shoot again Brown defied the pistol and still ad' vanced with his stick raised, when Allison fired the second shot which pro ed f ita'. AHnon'8 friends never entertainel the idea of removing the trial from Surry county, and neither he nor bis friends for a moment had any fears oi lynchiug."

A BAD BREAK. A doctor, who was treating one of his patients for a simple but tedious disorder, found the man io . such an irritable condition that he began to cneer mm up. But ins words rell on deaf ears, for the man had been -lit n . . . ... housed up so long that he was firmly convinced that his time had come. "Tut, tut," said the doctor. "I'll have you round again In a few days if you'll keep quiet and take the med icine. Why, man, I suffer from the same complaint as you icyself." There was a look of compassion fn the patient's eyes as he reached out the bottle and said: .. "In that case, doctor, do take some of this medicine you prescribed for me." . The man had grown almost hope ful under the influence of the doe tor's reassuring words, tut his hopes were cruelly dashed the next moment as the medic al man drew back from the bottle with a shudder and repli ed, "No thanks."
