State Of South Carolina
LABOR DAY.
a Proclamation

In accordance with custom, and by
legal enactment in this State, the first
Monday in September in each year is
recognized and set apart as LA BOR
DAY and as holiday by organized Ia
Dor throughout the country.
Now. THEREFORE, I, Il. 3. Nc
SWEENEY. Governor ofSOuth Carolina.
recommend and request that MONDAY,
SEPTEMBER 2, 1901, be recognized
and set apart throughout the State of
South Carolina as day on which all
labor shall cease, and all places where
labor is employed be closed, so that
opportunity may be given to devote the
day to appropriate exercises and health
full recreation by the workers and
makers of wealth, and as a fitting trib-
ute to those who by honorable toll and
the sweat of their brows, produce the
wealth of the Commonwealth.
1t is especially fitting and Appropriate
in this day of prosprity, peace and
plenty, when everywhere throughout
our broad land no aristocracy is recog-
nized save the aristocracy of labor,
that one day in each year should be set
apart and observed: and it should be
made day upon which all differences
between employer and employee are
forgotten, if any there be, and those
who represent capital and those who
represent labor, mingle together, each
recognizing that capital without labor
is stagnation, and that labor without
capital is starvation.
Let the day be observed with fitting
public exercises and ceremonies, where
in the dignity of labor may be empha-
sized, and on this day let all class dis
tinctions be obliterated, and may peace,
brotherly feeling and love be displayed
by men of all classes and conditions,
each looking to the public interests
and to the welfare of his State, and the
happiness and prosperity of all the
people.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here
unto set my hand and caused
to be affixed the Great Seal
of the State, at the Capitol,

t-~l August, A. D. 1901, and the

Joe Chamberlain says there
has been no understanding that

Possibly not, but Joe announced

SOURCES OF GREAT RIVERS.
Volume of Water or Length of Course
Are Not Important.
New York Sun.

New 1Ork sun.
There is usually more or less controver-
sy as to the sources of important rivers
until the region of their headwaters has
been thoroughly explored This has been
the case with the Amazon, but, to-day,
geographers are in accord as to the place
that may properly be called the ultimate
source of that river. A little to the north
east of Lima. the capital of Peru, about
south of the tenth parallel of south iati-
ture is the small lake Lauricocha, about
four miles long and three miles
wide, which floods a circular plain
that is surrounded by steep cliffs.
This is the birthplace of the
Maranon river, whose waters, escap-
ing from this basin, flow northward
through narrow, winding gorges. The
main upper branch of the Amazon, not
only because of its superior volume, but
also because 1t prolongs farthest toward
the Pacific the longitudinal axis of the
Amazon valley Geographical considera-
lions, therefore, properly fix upon Lake
Lauricocha as the ultimate source of the
Amazon river.
Scientific consideration also based upon
the most recent explorations i'm the upper
Congo basin. have led this year to the sat
isfactory determination of the waters that
may be regarded the source of the
Congo river. In the past few years there
has been considerable discussion of this
question. IL the theory were admitted
that the origin of a river Is that source
which is farthest from its mouth then
the source of the Congo would be the head
waters of the Mallargarazzi, whose drain
age basin extends far toward the Indian
ocean and mingles its waters with Lake
Tanganyika. There is another theory
that the source of a river Is that which
contributes the largest volume OF water
&C IL, and If this clew were accepted the
Chembezi would be named as the ultimate
source of the Congo.
But In these days of scientific geography.
geological considerations decide the oues-
ton OF river sources. The Congo occupies
the central and lowest part OF an enormous
area On ali sides the basin falls TO the
Congo trough by e series OF terraces and

THE THIRD MARQUIS OF BuTE.

-
John Patrick Crichton-st1art, third Mar
outs of Butte, who died on Oct 3. was the
original OF pisraelis 'Lothair." The Mar
ouisate of Butte was created I'm 17s6. The
second marquis. the father of the peer just
dead, laid the foundation OF the enormous
wealth now enjoyed by the family by the
development of his great mining properties
in Wales and by the marked Improvement
and progress which he inaugurated I'm the
seaport town of Cardiff. This place at the
commencement OF the century was a little
town OF two small cross streets. over
Swallowed by a ruinous old castle, and con-
tanning less than 1000 inhabitants. The
Marquis owned the entire town and It's sur
roundings. Cardiff now has about 10000
inhabitants and is one of the most pros
porous cities in Great Britain.
When the third Marquis was born a
grand banquet was given TO all the country
roundabout, the old Marquis himself pre-
senting his heir TO the assembled kinsfolk
and tenants. litter the baby had gone the

In 1868 the young Marquis attained his

Ii has lately been discovered that the Lua-
laba river is the prolongation of the Congo
trough. extending in the same general north
and south direction the upper Congo.

Congo, and still more recently II mas been
discovered that the Lubudi ranks first

In the same way, the long-mooted ques.
tion whether the Mississippi Missouri
should not bear the name Missouri below
their confluence has probably been finally
settled. Those who contended that the
tributary of the Missouri lost sight of
everything except distance from source 10
mouth. which is fact of subordinate inn
portance. The Mississippi, from Lake
Itasca to the gulf. flows in the median de
preston of the great central plain follow
ing the main continental axis. The Mis-
souri, descends obliquely to this axis. From
source to mouth the Mississippi is the main
artery. In it all the waters of the great
central depression unite and IL properly
bears the name Mississippi from source TO
sea.
Some years ago DR.. Bauman named the
the northeast corner of Lake Tanganyika.
as the source of the Nile. AT that time.
however, our knowledge of the waterways
tributary to Victoria Nyanza was not suf-
ficient to form any basis for an exact con-
clusion as to the ultimate source of the
great river. DR.. Richard Landt has been
studying the rivers that empty into Vic
toria Nyanza. He has returned to Europe.
but whether he has obtained any informa-
ton that justifies fixing upon any one of
these rivers as the main source of the
Nile does not appear in that part of his
report thus far published in lie Movement
Geographique.
The facts given here show that neither
volume of waters nor length OF course is
now regarded matter of first impor-
lance in the classification of rivers. 1t is
the facts of geology that determine the
lay of the land and consequently the course
of the main fiuvial artery in any river
system, and these arteries the world over
have been the routes of human migration
and the great channels of river transpor-
tatiOn.
