imagination of those who desired to de-
feat any canal project. His study Of
the situation had convinced him that
really there was a greater danger from
volcanic and earthquake disturbances
to the Panama route than to the Nj
caragua route; but he was satisfied
that little danger to either was to be
anticipated. Mr.. Morgan reviewed at
length the political conditions in Co.

to the United States in the construc-
ton Of a canal by the Panama route.
He presented also the present phase
of the diplomatic negotiations looking
to the building Of a canal by both the
Nicaragua route and by the Panama
route. Mr.. Morgan said the failure of
the United States to build the isthmian
canal would be an exhibition of moral
weakness influenced either by powerful
private interests or by some combina-
ton of nature which appealed strongly
to the imagination He closed with
strong appeal for the passage of the
Nicaragua bill.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board of commissioners
held its regular monthly meeting in the
office of the supervisor last Wednes-
day, all of the members being present.
There was not a great deal Of busi-
ness other than routine matters to at
tend to; but various claims aggregat-
ing nearly $4,000. were paid during the
day.
The supervisor made report on the
McConnellsville and Rock Hill road
right Of way matter to the effect that
Mr. R. E. Saddler was willing to sell
the desired right Of way through his
land for $50. After discussion Of the
subject the board came to the conclu-
sion that $50 would be about right, and
passed a resolution in which it agreed
to pay that amount.

A FEW days ago there left Washing
ton for South Carolina, five surveyors
from the bureau of soils in the agri'
cultural department. This surveying
corps will spend some six or eight
months in the state for the purpose OF
making a soil survey. One thousand
square miles, taking in part OF Green
wood, Abbeville, Laurens and Ander'
son counties, will be surveyed and the
soil chemically analyzed. A map Will
be made of this section, showing the
various kinds of soil to be found with
in it's limits. When the survey has
been completed the department Will
issue a bulletin for distribution to the
farmers of South Carolina based on the
soil survey and setting forth the crops
to which various kinds Of soils within
the 1000 square miles are best adapted
This bulletin will also contain expert
information as to what fertilizers are
needed to improve the soil. These sol
surveys have been made in other Sec
tions of the country and have proved
of great benefit to the farmers. The
survey for South Carolina is being
made at the instance of Representa-
tives Johnson, Latimer and Talbert. 1,
is hoped that the farmers will show
lively interest in the project, as the de-
partment will be. urged to send another
corps to. work elsewhere in the state
when the present survey has beer
completed.

Several Of the drivers fired pistols d.

duty came unheralded. One Of them,
in an hour Of innocent recreation. for
some wise purpose, was suffered to
walk beyond his depth into perilous
waters, and there he struggled help
lessly. The other two, near by, saw
that the life of their comrade was In

they might rescue him. There was no
doubt or hesitation or debate with
themselves when the call came. These

SEA CAPTAINS SToRY.-The Norwe.

fruit, arrived in Philadelphia Thurs.
day, according to a special to the New
York World. Captain Warnecke told
this remarkable tale:
1--WE were two days out from Banes
and about 80 miles from Watlin's Is
land. in the Caribbean sea when we
came upon a floating island. I, with
the mate and several of the crew rowed
toward it. Thousands of little monkeys
scampered all about the shore, and
when we were in range they began a
bombardment by shying cocoanuts al
us. We captured two monkeys. The
following morning we discovered an
other floating island and landed. This
time we were greeted by a covey

the eruption in Martinique had shaken
up the entire district, and the small
pieces of land had become separated

THE Washington correspondent OF
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat says 1t
has leaked out in Washington that the
president intends to veto the river and
harbor and public building bills; but
since the leak developed, 1t has been
impossible to get anyone who is in a
position to give semi official informa-
ton to say a word on the subject.
While it is a fact that the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat is usually we'll and ac-
curately informed on Republican party
and administration matters, it is pos
sible that in this incident he Is mere
ly talking without actually knowing
what he is talking about. However, If
the event suggested actually develops,
no one need be surprised. The wire
pullers have found these pork bills
very useful Of late years. How those
in charge Of the river and harbor bill
allowed the measure to be overloaded
last year with the most reckless ap-
preparations is a matter still fresh in
the public mind, and when the bill was
finally talked to death by Senator Car
ter, there were many who thought they
saw in the whole scheme smart trick.
To them 1t looked as If the bill had only
been used as bait with which to catch
suckers. Republicans and Democrats
had been made to behave in the hope
of big chunk if pork for their districts
and after there was no longer any need
to persuade or compel good behav-
ior, the bill was killed. Because these
two bills carry large appropriations for
the south, it is hoped that no such
game is being worked this year; Dut
If the bills fail to get through, there
will be much ground for the conclu-
sion that many expectant representa-
tives have merely been buncoed again.
