" - .. - ' H VOL. 23. OXFORD, IM. C, , JULY 7, 1911. NO. 40 THE WATER SITUATION BUT SIX THOUSAND GALLONS IN TANK WEDNESDAY. New Pnmping Apparatus Expected Soon and Hoped it Will Give Relief. The water situation is still bad, very bad. A reporter sauntered in the offices of the Oxford Water and Electric Company Wednesday about three o'clock and found Mr. Calvert in a very gloomy mood over it. In reply to a question as to how the supply was then, he said that there was about six feet in the tank and that it would be gone probably in an hour. Increase Consumption. The consumption of water has of late grown so rapidly that the pres ent demand is unusual, in spite of the requests of the Company for a sparing use. Last December the daily demand was about 50,000 gal lons, and since it has been run up 10,000 to 15,000 more, and one day recorded a consumption of 75,000. - It is impossible just at present for the Company to supply the real de mands and it is exceedingly diffi cult to supply that part of the de mand that is vitally necessary. The prolonged drought has affected the supply so that the old wells will not give their normal quantities and the pumping apparatus for the re cently dug-' well has not yet arrived. Amount of Available Water. The present amount of water avail able is about 70,000 gallons per day and where it all goes is a mystery. The two old wells in operation, which normally give 30,000 and 20, 000 respectively, now give but a bout 20,000 gallons in 24 hours.and the new well, since it is being tem porarily operated by a short pump, does not give much more than half of its 100,000 gallons per minute. The normal supply in ordinary times from these three should be 150,000 "gallons per day, and more than two ' times the present actual demand. About New Well. Mr- Calvert hopes that as soon as the new well can be connected up swith 4hef pumping apparatus short-, ly expected to arrivtaeilHVb no further trouble, especially;; sifi&e the digger of - the well said, that ; it 'dod'dfeet below the surface. which is nearly 200 feet deeper than is the case in the other wells. But nobody can tell how the supply can last, nor what a much longer drought will do for it Must Curtail Use of Water. It is urgently necessary for the citizens to use as little water as is possible. The situation is so serious that every one will have to give up until the situation im proves the sprinkling of gardens nrao fho. Wf ha bi tin st ti. ten .. or M v w airm-iT n -.nti.- ai. i-i -.v--t, and lawns and to cut out every use; him complain. He seemed perfect of water not absolutely necessary, i ly resigned to the Master's will. He Unless this is done, the company j often told his family that they need may agaisnt its financial interest : not be surprised at his death at nnri wishes have to cut off the wa- any time. He died as he had liv- ter entirely, which would have ve ry bad consequences. The peo ple would actually suffer for water and all insurance policies would be immediately increased by such ac tion. There is now in reserve wat er enough to handle two fires only, should they occur, and this capacity for handling the fires would depend upon the mains being kept full.The Ledger hopes that the people will realize the situation, which, by the way, seems epidemic over the coun try, and be as sparing as possible. It is greatly better to do this than to be cut off from the suppply en tirely. Notices Sent Out. On June 28th the Company sent out this notice, which being heed ed by but few patrons, was follow ed by another on the 4th' of July. "The Oxford Water Company asks that all of its customers cut down their consumption of water as much as possible and refrain from all lawn or street sprinkling washing carriages, etc. Due to the prolong ed hot weather the supply is very low and unless the consumption is much decreased it may become necessary to cut off the mains en tirely. Every effort is being made to get the new well into service as early as possible and notice will be given as soon as it is ready." The 4th of July letter was: "On the 28 th we mailed you a copy of the enclosed card- Our in spectors report that a great deal of water is still being used for lawns streets and other not abso lutely necessary purposes. We there fore respectfully call your attention to our former request and solicit your compliance. Many of the wells in town are al ready dry and many houses have no wells, and it will inflict great inconvenience and hardship on a great many families if it should be come necessary to cut off the servic or even to reduce it to several hour each day. The situation is serious, and we need the co-operation and support of every one of our customers to continue even partial service, we trust that you will give it to us. Yours very truly, Oxford Water Co." Card of Thanks. Mrs. W. J. Badgett and children wish to extend their sincere thanks to their neighbors and friends for their kindness duitfng the sickness and death of their husband and fa ther. Roy Badgett.

DEATH OF MR. JOS. BADGETT. Another Old Confederate Veteran, Silently Crosses the River for The Other Shore. Again this community was made to feel sad on June 6, 1911 when the news spread that that good and noble man, Mr. Joseph Badgett, had passed on before. He was born on Dec., 31st, 1841. He had been in declining health for some time. He had dysentery only a few days,; but I being so weak, he died with heart failure- It can truly be said that the county has lost one of its hon ored and bravest soldiers. He volunteered when he was 19 years old and served 4 years in the Civil War, never shirking hia duty. He was wounded twice while there bu& roJ; $ seriously; He, bejonged,t0 Com: Thirtieth !Nf Citeginintf After the war -ended, he came home and 4 marf edlen M.

He join ed Hesters Baptist Church when1 18 years old and had been a consistent member for 52 years- Very few have spent a more useful and better life than this good and noble man. He was always willing and ready to help anyone that he could. To know him was to love him. Though being sick so much you never heard ed So peaceful and quiet. Thus ends the life of one of the very best men that ever lived in the county such devoted father and husband. The funeral and burial took place Wednesday afternoon at Hesters' Baptist Church, conducted by Dr R. H. Marsh and witnessed by a large crowd of relatives and friends to pay the last tribute of respect to all that was mortal of this good man. Much sympathy goes out to the bereaved widow and children. A Friend. Law In Germany. Answers. English law is occasionally subjec to criticism, but for real comedy we are a long way behind Germany. In Berlin recently an iron work er was sent to prison for a week be cause he laughed. Going along the street he saw a merry-maker being chased by a party of stout police men, and the sight tickled him. He was promptly hauled before the Court for scandal. Another man attempted to get in to a moving train, and fractured his leg. After six months in hospital he was discharged cured, when the State Railway Department at once prosecuted him for breaking its reg ulations. The law-and-leg-break-er was fined five shillings. Stepping into an omnibus a man trod on the foot of a lady, who was so annoyed she said he walk ed like a hen. She was fined 20 shillings for 'using this term of re proach. Claire Waldoff, the Berlin singer who is coming to London for the coi onation season, outwitted the police, however. She was warned that if she sang any of her songs on Eas ter Sunday there would be trouble. But the announcement was made that Claire Waldoff would positive ly appear. She did. And she sang the German National Anthem! The promised prosecution did not take place. Card of Thanks. To the kind friends and neigh bors who so kindly and willingly as sisted during the sickness and death of our beloved father, we wish to express our heartfelt thanks; also those who assisted the funeral and burial. May the Lord bless you all and spare you such sorrow is oui sincere wish. ' Many thanks to the kind friends for the beautiful flowers . . Mrs. Jas- T. Matthews, and family THOS. D WALLER DEAD GRANVILLE LOSES VALUABLE CIT IZEN BY HIS DEATH. , Was Valiant Confederate Soldier and Served as County Commissioner For Eight Years. Granville County has suffered the loss of another good citizen in the death of Thomas D. Waller, who died in Durham last Saturday at the residence of his brother. For number of months Mr. Waller ha$ been in ; marked ill health, but it was only within the past three j weeks that he sank into a critical. condition. The following sketch of Mr. Wal ler's life was prepared by Judge Ay W. Graham, who always thought highly of him: V H Great Grandson of Job WaUer.tf The subject of this sketch was jauf great grandson of Job Waller, who J came to North Carolina from Mary land many years before the RevcH j lutionary war and settled on Kna: of Reeds Creek.

They were soon on the march and took "a very important part in the eventful campaign of Lee's army in 1864 and 1865. He was quiet and modest in de meanor, but true and courageous in the performance of any duty. Short ly before the surrender he was sent home to get another horse, and he reached the army while on the re treat to Appomatox. With a few of his command, he did not surrender, but continued on to Danville, hop ing to join Gen. Johnston, but find ing he too was negotiating for sur render, he changed his course and came home. Valuable County Service. After the war he conducted a mer cantile business for several years at Knap of Reeds and then engaged in farming- In 1880, he moved to Oxford and has since resided here, though at intervals he has. been en- gaged m the lumber business m South Carolina and different parts of this State. For eight years he was a member of the Board of Cour ty Comissioners and by his close, in telligent attention to the affairs of the County became one of the best officers the county ever had. He was also, for several years, a justice of the peace for Granville county. In every position he occupied, he was noted for his diligence and unswerv ing integrity and had the unbound ed confidence of his employers and any other person with whom he came in contact. It has often been said that "Tom Waller, while a commissioner, was worth thousands of dollars to Granville county every year," and those acquainted with county affairs know it to be true- His Last Days His friends had noticed for sev eral months that he did not ap pear to be as vigorous as usual,but few knew that he had a severe case of Brights disease, complicated with an affection of the heart.Only two weeks before his death he was persuaded by his friends to go to the Soldiers Home, hoping the close attention and excellent nursing he would receive there would alleviate his troubles and prolong his life. Though well pleased with his sur roundings and grateful to Captain Lindsay, the Sup't., and those who attended him, he felt the dread mes senger was approaching rapidly and he yearned to be with his kindred and loved ones when the summons should surely come. So he was ta ken to the home of his brother M. B. Waller, in Durham, where he lingered for five or six days and passed away on Saturday, July 1, 1911. An incident, that gave him much pleasure in his last days, was the attention of Job Waller one of the old family servants, who as soon as he learned he was sick in Dur ham, came immediately and insisted upon seeing him to the end, thus showing the love and devotion that existed between former slaves and families of their masters. Though he had never joined himself with the church, he had good respect for religion and was upright and mo ral in all his conduct, and we be lieve his peace had been made, for among the last things he said was, "'I am not afraid to die.

All of us remember the nursery rhyme begining, "what are little boys made of?" Recently a Euro pean medical scientist undertook to decide, chemically, what the aver age weight man in normal condition would be worth as practical "raw" material were he to be worked up into every day commodities. He re ports a widely scattered assortment of utilities into which this average man may be wrought. This average man in health has the material for 13 pounds of can dies, 1 pound of nails, carbon suffi cient for 800 pencils, bindings for 16 octavo books, 500 knife han dles, 28 violin strings, 20 tea spoonfuls salt and 1 pound of loaf sugar- We have that individual, healthy, good-sized man among us whom we designate as "no good." Even this explanation of his worth as a raw material for necessary products does not change his value. Those process es which would be necessary to tiles' lines of manufacture probably would bankrupt any plant equipped for '"uag im up." .-! i'Mi:-",i'.ij-"". r
