Cherokee Shoals.

Hon. Isaac McCalla was in town last Mon
day. He reports that Cherokee Falls on the
Savannah river is 10 be improved and the
great water power Is to. be turned 10 good &C.
count
A dam, twenty two feet high, is to be
built across the river, and thousands Of horse
power in electricity will be generated, and
used IN the industries by the neighboring
towns. The power will be in operation in less
than two years from this time. Electric
lines will be built to the neighboring cities,
and the power will be sold st a price to
knock coal clear out ofthe box.
nCherokee Shoals 10 Immediately above
Trotters Shoals on the Savannah.
The development OF Anthony Shoals and
Cherokee Shoals will revolutionize existip z
manufactures, and stimulate the building OF
other factories to use all of the great
power. which Is more valuable and more
certain than a gold mine. The outlook for
this country was never more promising than
at this time. Mr.. McCslla is a practical man
OF means. and he and his friends have de-
termined to utilize the great wealth Of power
that has 30 long idly passed over the shoals
which belong TO him. The possibilities for
good which lie dorment In our great water
falls is not easily estimated.
The attention OF the captains OF industry
being directed in that way, even the oldest
OF us may live to see our waste places chang.
ed into busy scenes Of activity while manu-.
featuring enterprises OF importance may be
seen to rise on every hill.
One OF the greatest possibilities Of wealth
is our water power. We know OF no county
that has more unimproved water power
than Abbeville county. The fact is, that
none Of the great water powers have been
utilized.
The great value Of our power has been
going to waste for all time, but now It seems
that great corporations are being formed to
harness for useful and profitable purposes
some OF the many valuable water powers
that are now doing nothing TO improve the
country or to benefit mankind. In the low
country the deep and sluggish streams are
utilized for shipping purposes. In the hill
country no such use can be made OF the
streams, but we can use the water for pur
poses which are ten. thousand times more
profitable.
The water that rushes and breaks
over the rocks as 1t comes down the shoals
can be used as power to drive machinery o.
TO light our cities. Our streams are full all
the year. They are never dry, and they are
never frozen. They are comparatively
exempt from the dangerous or destructive
floods that threaten and bring ruin to other
sections. The health OF the county is as
perfect as was the Garden Of Eden. With all
these things in our favor, is 1t not strange
that no power of any importance has
been improved? The demand for power 1.
greater than the supply. But 1t is possible
that the high prloe OF coal may cause US to
look around for cheaper power, and this
cheaper power will make this county
prosperous and happy.

AbbevilIe Should Get a Move on Her

Abbeville Should Get Move on Her
Every year in the life ofthe town, no less
than that OF the individual, should record
some step forward in business enterprise.
AbbeVille has many most excellent young
men, whose business qualities embrace the
elements o. success; but without help from
their neighbors they have not the ready
money 10 establish manufacturing enter.
prises. AS rule they stand upon their
merits, and have excited the envy and illwill
OF none, az have many Of the older men about
town. For that reason 1t seems TO as that the
older men OF the city could subscribe to the
capital stock Of some industrial enterprise
and give one or more Of our worthy young
men o chance to prove the merit which they
possess. flour people generally would sub
scribe q sufficient amount could be raised
without hurting anybody. The resultant
good would be sufficient to induce the in vest
ment
In all conscience, we have stores q plenty
And retail stores never build up q city. II
takes enterprises that pay wages to en-
p!oyees 10 put money In circulation. And II
the money is put in circulation. 1t Is the fault
OF the individual II he does not gather up his
shsre Of the shifting dollars.
Let some OF our young men get together
map out plan of procedure, and for them
there 10 no such word as fail. The older men
would readily come to their help.
While the older men. for reasons of their
own, would not be liberal in subscribing
stock for other older men, yet we believe
that the needed encouragement should be
given to the younger men who conclude TO
embank in q manufacturing enterprise.
We have notable instance OF their success
in building the Eureka Hotel, which ia one OF
the best in this part OF the State. They sue.
ceeded In that undertaking In spite Of the
fact that the people were divided as to It's
advisability.
On the establishment OF an industrial en-.
terprise there can be no division OF senti-
ment. A pull all together, even ifit Is slight
pull, will accomplish results. No progress, as
yet has been made this year along this line.
No year ought TO pass without taking q step
forward in material prosperity. Let our
young men take the lead. The old men
will follow.

Baton Rouge, July 3l.-A piece
of acting which proved entirely too
realistic for the wellbeing of the
performer, was produced before
the audience at Battle Park Casino
last night, when Fred Rella stab
bed himself near the heart with a
dirk. 1t was i'm the closing scene of
the third act. His part called for
him to lie upon dissecting table
and take his own life. He gave a
dramatic exh ibition of the part,
and, placing the knife over his
heart, gave quick turn, as if
writhing in agony. The left elbow,
on which his body WAS supported,
slipped from under him, the blade
penetr ating the breast within an
inch Of the heart. Few persons in
the au dience were aware of what
had happened until it was an
nounced from the stage. A ply Sic
ian was called to attend the wou nd

duced without him. The physic-
ians to-day pronounced the wound
serious. but not to an alarming ex :

The Liberty Bell

A Philadelphia dispatch in the
Baltimore American of July 20
says: Injunction proceedings of a
remarkable character will be be-
gun if any further attempt Is made
by the City Councils to send the
old Liberty Bell on any further
junketing excursions. Not only
will the laws restraining hand be-
sought by the lineal heirs of John
Wiltbank but the plaintiffs will
set forth the fact that the bell is
not the property of the city, State
or nation, :but the personal
property of the descendants Of a
man who took the cracked emblem
rs part payment of debt due him
by the city of Philadelphia.
The strange story behind the
claim that is about to be asserted
is one that lawyers say can be-
amply verified from historical rec
ords, the journals of Councils and
lie private papers Of the Wiltbar l
family. The three heirs who are
prepared to prove that the old bell
is their joint property are Mrs
James McCluskey, of Broad end
Rockland Street; Mrs. Sidney
Wright, of Germantown. and q
maiden lady residing in Brooklyn
y. Y.
The latter ia niece of the orig
inal John Wiltbank, while the
Philadelphia women are his grand.
nieces. The task of asserting and
proving the claim, should occasion
arrive, has been intrusted to Mag
istrate James r. German and Ii
Gilbert Cassidy as attorneys FOL
Mrs. McCluskey.
Magistrate German said wher
the bell was cracked in welcoming
General Lafayette City Council,
appropriated $ll,sOO for a new
bell. The contract was given Johr
Wilt bank, with the understanding
that he should take the old bell il
part payment and should throw
800 off the bill. The new bell wa
not put in Liberty Hall, but event
ually found its way into the Ger
mantown Town Hall. Wiltbanl
never destroyed the old bell and in
sisted that it remain in possession
of the city. He never relinquishe'
his claim on it. For this reason tn
heirs are determined to assert thei
claims the very next time an effor
is made to ship away the reli,
They do not seek possession of tn
bell, only to protect it from pos
sible injury.
