Sill Ponds.

We see by the Pickens County jury
presentment that the mill pond trouble
has reached that point. We often hear
the cry for more factories and mills, but
as soon as somebody establishes Il lam
on a stream there are plenty of men
ready to tear it down, if they could. The
idea that q mill pond is necessarily sick
Iy has exploded long ago, so far as intelli-
gent physicians are concerned. Ii the
pond Is kept clear of impurities there is
no danger. II is foolishly absurd to talk
of pure water creating sickness. We be-
licve that there are some men about
Abbeville who believe that q few buckets
full of water in McMillan's race is the
cause Of the chills and fever in the lower
part Of the corporation Of Abbeville.
The acres of swamps in the neighbour
hood, cove, cd with decaying vegetable
matter of course are not noticed. II
those envious people in every section OF
the country will make rs much noise
about draining the sluggish streams, as
they do about mill dams they would no
doubt effect u good result. For II part
we should be afraid to build a mill dam,
if we had the finest water power in the
State.

The Register and the Canal.

The Columbia Register publishes more
interesting statistics than all the papers
in the State. AS there is great doubt in
the minds of the people as to the amount
of money which has been spent on the
Columbia canal, we should bo glad if
that paper would give us the figures.
They might help Legislators to make up
their minds intelligently as to their duty
in voting for or against canal appropria-
tiOns.
Tie canal was commenced about 1925
or 1926, ut a time when the State engaged
in various enterprises of q public nature,
and wc have heard it stated that the
State has within the last fifty years spent
more thar q million Of dollars in at
tenpts to make something of it which
would benefit Columbia. A few years
ago, the State gave the canal to the
Spragues for two hundred dollars, on
condition that they improve it. The
canal was thrown back on the State, and
the Legislature has began the old bust
ness of bleeding the taxpayers of the
State to enlarge the canal. Although vast
fortunes have been spent in digging it, a
rock dam could be put across the river
with convict labor, for s.. 900 which would
stand forever,and give twenty times as
much water power as the canal will ever
afford. II the State is determined to
spend more money to build up Column
bia, let them make a dam across the
river OF once, and end the job.
As soon as the Legislature meets. our
delegates should look after that Sll 900
which the last Legislature improperly
appropriated for the canal. We would as
soon nave the Legislature to appropriate
money to build the Railroad bridge at
Lnurens, as to have them squander our
money on a ditch ut Columbia. 1t would
be infinitely better to make %appropria-
ton to build factories IN the healthy re-
gions of the mountains, where the water
power is going to waste.

The French Broad and Atlantic Rail.
road.

Last week we had tho pleasure of a call
from Capt. Kirk chief engineer of this
road and Mr.. John McFall of Williams
ston, a leader in this magnificent enter
prise, which, if ever completed, VA, put
Abbeville on the most important railroad
connection in the South. The road is ex-
pectcd to run from Easily to Williamson,
Bolton, Denald Sville, Due West, Able
vile, Johnson and Port Royal. From
Easily over the mountains it will connect
with the roads OH the other side, which
! will put us in direct communication with
the great North West. The work is soon
to commence at Easily and progress over
the Blue Ridge. The Captain and Mr..
M"Fall had just returned from a visit, to
General Bradley, whom they had inter-
viewed on the best mode Of treating and
managing convicts.
Due West is thoroughly aroused on the
subject of pushing forward the work, and
the citizens are talking of holding Il meet
ing to further the interests of the road.
%
We arc in hearty sympathy with our Due
| West friends on the subject of Railroads,
and will be glad 10 follow them in any
work of tins kind. The Scceders are
safe men in all matters of business and
we could not find better or more suitable
mel to lead us III the construction OF a
railroad which will bring prosperity TO
our country.
Dr.. Miller and Mr.. r. ". lladdon
were in town last Monday and they speak
most hopefully of the project. There Is
no doubt if Abbeville fails to get this
road while our more enterprisinS neigh
bors are building splendidiron highways,
that we will be left high and dry at the
Court House. With q railroad it would
not be many years before Callloun's
Mills would he a place of more import
ance than Abberillc. If we sleep over
our best interests we may expect to take
the consequence in Il loss of trade and
business, and in the depreciation of our
property. A little money expended in
the right direction may he of untold ben
eft to us.
