a
Meeting Tuesday Night.
The Board of Town Councilmen had
a special meeting Friday night to take
WA | steps looking to securing a water sup-
They decided to
have a joint meeting with the citizens
~|of the town on next Tuesday night, in
the Court House, for the purpose ot de-
termining whether cisterns shall be
built or whether a regular system of
water works shall be put in.
Heretofore certain. members. of the
council by absenting themselves from
meetings have prevented any. action be.
ing taken, for which they have been
justly censured,. but now that the
steps outlined in a notice published
elsewhere in the Rer_ecror, the bur-
den of responsibility is placed upon the
citizens of the town. The council is
ready to net and wanta the advise of
all citizens interested.as to which of the
means suggested shall be adopted.
Now if you want a water supply,
and we believe every one desires it»
show your interest hy being at theT
meeting Tuesday night. DonTt stay
away from the meeting and then blame
anyone else for what is or is not, done.
This is an important matter and every
citizen, the property own r especially,
should show his interest. The day has
gone by when argument as to the needs
of a water supply is any longer neces-
sary, and right now is the time for ac-
tion, Beat the meeting Tuesday night
and decide what shall be done.

CLING TO THOSE WHO CLING TO
You,
There are many friends of Summer,
Who are kind while flowers bloom,
But when Winter chills the blossom, .
They depart with the perfume.
On the Jread highway of action
Friends of worth are far few ;
So when one has proved his friendship,
Cling to him who clings to you !
Do not harshly judge your neighbor,
Do not deem his life untrue,
If he makes no great preteutions,
Deeds are great thoT words are few,
Those who stand amidst the tempest
Firm as when the skies are blue,
Will ne friends while life endureth ;
Cling to those wh» cling to you !
When you see a worthy brother
Buffeting the worthy main,
Lend a helping hand fraternal,
Till he reach the shore again.
DonTt desert the old and tried friend,
When misfortune comes in view ;
For he then eeds friendshipTs com~ort,
Cling to those who cling to you.
Roentgen Rays in the South.
The first experiment with the Roent-
gen photographs in the South has
proved successful. At Davidson Col-
lege, twenty miles from Charlotte,
Professor Henry Louis Smith, of the
Chair of- Physics, demonstrated to his
classes the utility of the cathode rays.
A bullet was fired into the hand -of a
dead negro in the dissecting-room of
the medical department. The photo-
graph discovered the bullet, the X-ray
penetrating not only the flesh, but the
bone, and showing the ball hidden be-
hind the bone in the middle finger.
The bullet from a 22-calibre pistol
went obliquely into the palm of the
hand near the wrist. The bullet lodged
under ~the central boneT of ~the palm.
the purpose of showing tlie location * of
the bullet and the bony articulation of
the,hand. ~The flesh in the photo-
graph appears as a faint, shadowy en-
vélope burdering the finger-bones, and
connecting the bones of the palm, ex-
cept very near the wrist where the
pulm-bones become larger and fill al-
most the whole space. Looked at from
the point of origin of the cathode rays,
the bullet, an oblong slug, was exactly
behind the bone ; yet the rays traversed
flesh and bone, and gave the exact posi-
tion of the ball, as well as its shape
and size. The Lones ave much more
clearly defined than in the Yale and
Columbia, and most» other, American
photographs, whieh have appeared in
the scientific journals but uot so dis-
tinct as Professor RoentgenTs.
Coius in a purse, a bullet. buried in
a cubie inch of fat meat, and. bird-shot
wrapped i in many thicknesses of heavy
paper, were photographed with perfect
distinctness.
Christiahity Wul Do It.
According to the statement. of the
president of the National Prison Con-
gress of the U nited States, erime ~is in
~ereasing out of all proportion +o the
population. The record by decades
shows: 1850,. 6,737 prisoners, or a
ratio of 1t0,.5,442 of, the population ;

A college professor in Maine tells
how be convinced.a friend who did
adam. He bought a baby beaver
of a hunter and sent it to his skeptic
al friend.
The creature became a great pet in
the house, but showed no signs of
wanting to build a dam until one
Monday morning a leaky pail full of
water was put on the floor of the
back kitchen. The beaver was there.
He was only a baby, to be sure, but
the moment he saw the water oozing
out.of acrack in the pail he scam-
pered into the yard, broughtin achip
and began his work,
His owner was called and watched
the little fellow, very much aston-
ished at what be saw. He gave or-
ders to have the: pail left- where it
was, and tho industrious beaver
kept at his work fcr weeks, wheu
~he had bnilt a solid dam all around
