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 the’ meeting Tuesday night. Don’t 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.

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 tho’ 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. Don’t desert the old and tried friend, When misfortune comes in view ; For he then eeds friendship’s 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 bone’ 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 Roentgen’s. 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.
