LAKE CONGAREE.

When DeLessep proposed the Suez
canal great many thought him
crazy, and when Father Morse wish
his roll of wire and ticker first ap-
peared in Washington nearly every
body was satisfied he was . fool ts
make such claims. Columbia g mas
cot, w. b. Smith Whaley, (who by
the way was recognized as genius
by our mill directors among the first
in the State) is not fool nor crazy,
though we suspect several OF the
Moss Backs and Rip Van Winkleites
will think SO when they read the
leading editorial in The State OF last
Friday.
He and his associates have bought
the canal, street railway and lighting
plant and will appear before the next
legislature asf.Hg authority to build
a dam across the river, % feet, nigh,
from the penitentiary to the Lexing-
ton side. Just below the mouth OF the
Saluda; thus giving them an addition
al 5000 to 1000 horse power, which
they propose to convert into electric
power at foot OF Gervias street and
distribute throughout the city for
manufacturing purposes. They also
propose to build standard locks on
the Lexington side, which will lower
boats to the level Of baciwater from
the government dam at CRANKY: thus
giving water communication be-
tween the lower and upper counties,
without in any way efrecting the man
ufacturing interests on the banks OF
present canal, by lowering the water
in it while allowing boat to go down
to the next lock.
The construction OF dam % feet
high will Of course make q fine lake,
for water will be backed up the river
for miles and thus insure n storage
which will guarantee full supply to
all the turbines during the most pro-
tracted drouth. Give the pleasure
seekers an opportunity for boating
and the fish, which have been cut off
from the streams contributary to
Broad and Saluda rivers by the Dam
at Columbia for past ten or twelve
years, will have full swim with the
boats in the locks and thereby restock
them. Red horse may again be plen-
tiful at Meals Shoals and Loves Ford.
We are satisfied this plan solves the
menacing question that has been q
nightmare to the owners Of the canal
and will ever allow the owners Of "the
valuable factory sites below Gervais
street to use them for pastures or
put their shoulders to the wheels and
assist, instead Of block, the develop
meps Of Columbia.

TRADE WITH THE COLONIES.
Figures Given Out show 1t Has Grown
Greatly, Especially With the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE war de
partment made public statement OF
the trade between the United States
aud Ill Of her colonies under military
control, and with Cuba as well, for the
seven months of 1889, ending July 81,
making comparison with the year 1898.
The exports from the United States
to Cuba for the seven months were $l4,-
ll6,933 i'll 1893. against S4,4o5,937 in
1898. The imports iIto the United
States from CUBA fog the same period
were S19,916, $50 in 1919, against Sl2.-
4ii, no i'll 1898.
The exports OF the United States to
Porto Rico for the seven months were:
Two million two hundred and ninety
nine thousand two hundred and twenty
one dollars in 1899, against S569.ll0 i'll
1898. Imports into the United States

If FRANCE WERE vINDIcTIvE.

Nations, like individuals, cannot
violate the laws of justice and
humanity without paying the penalty
for their mistake.
The Dreyfus case did not end for
France with the forcing of
conviction of an innocent man.
France has yet to hear from
the people of other nations whose
sense of right and fairness has been
outraged by the verdict.
Since the Dreyfus case came up.
Americans have lost much of their
good opinion of the administration of
justice in France. They put them
selves to no pains to disguise or
repress the modification of their
feelings.
Butsuppose France should answer
that for all her Imperialism and
military despotism she would not
try to shoot down people willing to
fight for their liberty without at least
giving them an opportunity to be
heard or without investigating the
merit of their claim to independence
Suppose France should say, in
extenuation of her act, that while she
has indeed deprived one man of his
liberty, for brief season, because
she believed her national peace and
honor required the sacrifice, yet she
would shrink appalled, from an at
tempt to peremptorily despoil
whole nation of people of their lives,
as well as of what they believe to be
their right to liberty.
What reply would America make
to this?
