There promises to be a lively town
meeting in Iiiil'lt‘li. tonight. on the
water question, which has been the
subject of a good deal of discussion
in that buillwick for the past few

up will be. the issuing of bonds for

tablishment of a public plant for Dur-

L'pon reading “Taxpayer's" commun-

me in the line of sequence that the

the logical outcome.
Now, i am loath to believe what

that Representative Williamson intro-

it was a "unanimous vote of the town."
and whereby he avers further that "no

on the defensive, and l have every rea-

At. a recent gathering of ministers
of the gospel in Plttsbtirg. the liquor
question came up for a good share of
discussion. Among the out of town
delegates was a noted Georgia clergy-
man who was scheduled to speak on
the saloon question. Previous to the
meeting. one of the local pastors, upon
being introduced to the Georgian, re~
marked:
“Well, Dr. Blank, I believe your peo-
ple enjoy state wide prohibition now.
do they not?"
"No. " replied the Georgian, "they do
not."
The local man was somewhat sur-
prised. but, not feeling sttre of his
ground, let the matter rest. Later in
the day, however. when he had in-
formed himself of the excise law of
the southern states. he took the Geor-
gian to task in the presence of a IIuiu~
her of his colleagues.
“Doctor." said the local minister.
"what did you mean by telling me
this morning that your state did not
have state wide’ prohibition?”
"My dear brother." replied the Geor-
gian. “I told yoti nothing of t e sort."
“Why-why—J' stammered t e local
man, "you surely—"
"Nay.” said the Georgian, with a
twinkle." you have forgotten your
question. You asked me if Georgia on-
posed "must be fulfilled by Decembei

was at Fort Terry. and Captain Hawcs,
who was at Fort Mlchie.
The camp was a grand success. It
was refreshingly free. from accident,
sickness or any of the unpleasant in-
cidents that can mar a thing of the
kind. The corps was like one big

Good weather was the order. Tile
weather was cool and the rain did I
not visit often enough to rob the
camp of all its pleasure. There was
enough real work to make the expe:
rience one of genuine profit and the
men who went to the islands from
Norwalk and other cities of the state
knew much more about‘coast defense
than they did ten days ago. The men
took rkeen interest in the firing and
in the manipulation of the coast do-
fense guns. "
There was enough play‘ln camp to
rob it of monotony. There were buo-
ball games, minstrel shows, field meets
and impromptu sports galore.
