POINTS FOR POWER
ON THE SAVANNAH.
Locations Found by the Government
Geological Survey.


Washington. Oct. lathe division of
photography of the United States Geo
logical Survey has had a party of en-
gineers investigating the power pos
sibilities of the Savannah river. A
number of advantageous power sites
have been located. Among the num-
Der are the following;
AT Little river shoals, where the
stream has a fall of four and half
feet a mile, power can be easily de-
veloped. A high rock bluff on the
right hand bank affords ample pro-
lection for power house, and SCOTS
Creek would serve as a short tail race
The river is about 1900 feet wide at
this point very shallow, and swift, and
apparently has good rock bed the en-
tire width. There is a narrow strip
of bottom land above the dam site on
the other side.
A number of good dam sites were
found on Long shoals, one about one
half mile above Kilhkease Ferry. The
river here is divideN by Price Island,
a part of which is Ander cultivation.
A rock ledge runs atross the river and
gives a fall of two feet in 100, and
a solid rock cliff. Which runs down
almost to the edge ofbthe water, affords
an excellent abutmeM and will furnish
rock in abundance fW constructing the
dam. A forty foot dam could be built
here, though the abutment and local
conditions seem more favorable for a
twenty-fi foot structure.
Just above Borden creek there is a
good site for dam, both abutments be-
ing solid rock cliffs. The river is about
1900 feet wide, swift, shallow, and
apparently has good rock bed. The
abutment on the left bank is 100 feet
from the waters edge, and below it is
an excellent site for a power house,
etc. twenty-five-foot dam could be
constructed at this point, but fourteen
feet will develop the rest of Long shoals
and the higher dam would damage a
considerable amount of bottom lands
| above.

COL UMBIAN SENATE
REPORTS ON CANAL
United States Must Pass on COnces-
siOns Granted New Company.

United states Must Pass on COnces-
siOns Granted New Company.
Bogota, Colombia, Oct. 1.-THE Sem
ate Committee charged with drawing
up bill authorizing the President of
the republic to negotiate new canal
treaty with the United States. to-day
presented the projects to the Senate.
1t provides that the latter must ap-
prove or disapprove the extension of
the concession for six years against
the new Panama Canal Company in
1900. If this is disapproved, Colombia
will reimburse 81 900 to the COM
pany with interest, and will take pos
session of the canal works next year,
in which case this republic will then
be able to negotiate a new treaty with
the United States.
If the extension of the concession is
approved by the Senate the New Pan
anna Canal Company will have until
the year 1910 to fulfil it's obligations
The Senate will take up the bill on
Monday.
1t is pointed out that the authorize
tions given to the executive by the
Senate to negotiate treaties are value
less, as the executive, according to the
new constitution, can negotiate
treaties without authorization from the
Senate and present them to Congress
for approval, and any law amending
the constitution to this or any other
effect must be sanctioned by two con-
secutive congresses.

EXPECTS GOSPEL TO
SOLVE RACE PROBLEM
Methodist Preacher Wants Trades
Unions Christinnized.


Philadelphia, Oct. 14.-Three interest
ing meetings were held to-day by the
Eastern Missionary Convention of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in the
Academy of Music. Bishop Vyrus D.
Foss of this city presided at all three
sessions.
one of the principal addresses was
that of Rev. H. x. Carroll, assistant
corresponding secretary of the mis-
sionary society, who spoke on home
missions.
He devoted much of his address to
the negro question and gave 1t as his
opinion that in Christian missionary
work at home lies the solution of the
race problem.
The black man has claims upon us
which we cannot be Indifferent to-"
he said. He constitutes more than
one-tenth of the population. and he is
not dying out like the red man nor
committing suicide like the white man,
but is increasing and multiplying"
He believed that the gospel was not
only the surest way, but the cheapest
way in the end of solving the race
problem, for where men can say as
Christians we are brethren no police
power" he added, will be necessary to
constrain them to dwell in peace and
unity"
Rev. e. ]. Helms of Morgan Me-
mortal Church, Boston, also spoke on
home missions. He declared that
trades unions should be Christianized.
IF we were WISE" he said, 1--WE should
see to it that from our schools and
seminaries every year we would send
missionaries into these great labor or
CARNATIONS to make them Christian.
Here is open a wonderful opportunity
to which the church thus far has been
blind"

Raleigh, N. c., Oct 14.-After be-
ing out for fifteen minutes to-day the
jury in the trial of Ernest Haywood
for the murder of Ludlow Skinner re-
turned verdict of not guilty.
There was no demonstration, but
smiles of delight were on the faces
of Haywood. his counsel, and three
brothers, who have been constantly
with him. Haywood shook hands with
his counsel, and when he was dis
charged went at once to the jury box,
and shook hands with each juror re-
turning thanks. Next he went to Judge
PEBBLES, and did the same.
Col. T. NJ. Argo closed for the de-
tense this morning, urging self-defense
for Haywood, and u persecution of him
and the witnesses for the defense.
Judge PEBBLES next commented on the
evidence, and charged the jury. 1t
was a charge very favorable to the
defendant.
Haywood shot and killed Skinner in
front of the postof1ice here on Feb. 81 .
Preliminary hearing was waived, and
at the March term the trial was post
poned on plea of absent witnesses. At
habeas corpus hearing the first of
June, Haywood was released on $780,
900 bail.
In the case seven lawyers appeared
for the defense, and five for the state
An acting solicitor was employed as
the solicitor declined to act because of
his relationship to Haywood. The de-
PENDANT did not testify.

verdict was eminently proper

TROUBLE AHEAD
IN VENEZUELA.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Oct
14.-Passengers arriving here from
Caracas, Venezuela. confirm the re-
ports of attacks made by the govern
ment newspapers on the umpires of the
mixed tribunals, who have given de-
cisions adverse to Venezuela. The pas
sengers add that the conduct of Presi-
dent Castro, and the official press shows
that Venezuela does not understand
the respect due to the mixed tribunals
umpires and say ii was a mistake to
select Caracas as the seat of the tri-
bunal.
One of the passengers from Caracas
said that, as a result of President Cas-
tro's policy, trade in Venezuela was
stagnant, the people having no conf
dence in his administration. Prices on
the Stock Exchange are daily falling
and complications are feared after the
