to be taken unless absolutely necessa-

individual can be made to do for HIM
self what the town has been doing for
him; but this Is also doubtful. The
only other alternative Is to do the work
with money derived from ordinary tax

legal objection.

MORE WAsHOUTS.

The South Carolina and Georgia Ex-
tension railroad is in serious trouble
on account Of the heavy rains Of last
Friday night. In addition to the un-
dermining of the trestle over Buffalo
creek, near Blacksburg, Bullock's creek
trestle has been washed out again and
the approaches to Catawba river
bridge are gone.
With the exception of one freight
train, which was below when the
washouts occurred, practically all Of
the rolling stock of the road was at
Blacksburg, and during Sunday one
train was sent around over the South
ern by way of Charlotte and Rock Hill
and Catawba river, while another was
sent over the Seaboard by way of
Hamlet and Camden, to come up on
the east side of the Catawba.
The floods have been unusually en-
barrassing to the railroad authorities,
and the washouts are taxing their re-
sources to the utmost. Most of the
available timber supplies of the road
are north of Buffalo creek and east Of
Catawba river. and this fact has made
the repairing of Buffalo and Catawba
trestles necessary before work could
be commenced on Bullock's creek.
Although the work of making repairs
is being pnshed as rapidly as possible,
there is not much reason to hope that
through trains will be gotten in oper-
alton again for a day or two yet. In
the meantime the railroad people are
struggling manfully to furnish all the
accommodations that still lay in their
power.

TllLMAN AND MclAURlN.

1t was very naturally to be expect
ed that Senator Tillman would have
something warm to say in reply to
Senator McLaurin's Charlotte speech,
and in an interview which appears in
another column, there will be found
no reason for disappointment. The
remarks of the senior senator are
characteristic.
There is lots of hard sense in the
broad utterances of Senator McLau-
rim, and a great majority Of the best
informed, thinking people of South
Carolina are inclined to endorse most
of what the senator has had to say.
They are unable to see in this speech
any compromise of principle, or any
suggestion that is prejudicial to the
political interests of the South; but,
on the contrary, contemplate with en-
thusiasm the progress and prosperity

CATAWBA.

Mr.. J. M. Costner, Of Enquirer, was
In Yorkville on Monday, and reported
that Catawba river was higher at
Wright's ferry, last Sunday, than 1t
has been since 1866.
The 1865 flood was during the spring
when Sherman's army was passing
through this state. The flood In the
river arose to height Of "a feet above
low water.
The next big flood was that which
occurred in the fall Of 1886. leaving its
mark at a height Of little over 22
the exact inches of the 1886 flood: but
was certain that the water on Sun
day morning was two inches higher
than on the occasion mentioned.
During Sunday afternoon Supervi-
sor Gordon drove over to the county
bridge for the purpose Of being In po-
sition Of doing whatever might be nee
essary for the protection of that struc-
ture. The reporter saw him Monday
night. Mr.. Gordon said: 1.-THE river
was high out Of its banks, filling the
bottoms from hill to hill. It ran over
the earth abutments at either end, and
the water came within four feet Of the
flooring. There was quite number
Of people over from Rock Hill and Fort
Mill to witness the flood and many Of
them went on the bridge. The works
of the Power company up above were
submerged again and most Of the der
ricks were out of sight. All Of the
neighboring islands were submerged,
except that some Of the trees that
stand on them were still showing. In
the old mill building, just above the
power works, the highest stage Of the
water was "a feet. I remained until
the flood had apparently begun to sub
side, and up to the time I left there
had been no damage to the bridge; but
have since received a phone mes
sage to the effect that the abutments
and approaches had been injured. Just
to what extent, however, my inform
ant was not able to make clear"
Mr.. Zadok D. Boyd crossed the
bridge on Monday; but the crossing
was not without difficulty.

ACCORDING to the views Of Captain
Ellison A. Smythe, president of Pelzer
Manufacturing company, the South
really has more than a passing inter-
est in the bill that is intended to de-
velop a merchant marine. Indeed,
from the way this gentleman puts it,
the interests of the South are by far
greater than are those Of any other
section of the country. There is no
reason to assume that President
Smythe is a shipowner or that he in
tends to engage in the ship-building
business in the event of the passage of
the pending bill. The argument hepre-
sents shows only an interest in the
commercial advantage that is likely
to accrue to himself as a manufactu-
rer and to the balance Of the country.
With a business man like Mr.. Smythe,
politics is not a question of men or
parties; but Of measures.
