ton to the complete state Of readiness
of the French military system to meet
any emergency The present peace
footing of the army Is $4,000 men.
This force Is organized on an elastic
basis, whereby the doubling and trip
ling of the strength Of each company
doubles and triples the aggregate army.
The first and second reserves are made
up of trained men, who heretofore have
completed the military service which
the state requires all citizens to COM
ple;e. The equipment OF the reserves
Is always kept In readiness at the bar
racks. Military experts say that the
calling of the first reserves to the col
ors would probably furnish an imme-
diate force approximately Of million
trained men and thereafter the second
reserves and the territorial militia
would permit Of much further expan-
sion. La Li0erte tonight began the
publication of a series Of articles from
the frontier showing the excited state
of public feeling and the activity OF the
military forces. which are alleged to be
constantly drilling and undergoing in
spection. The diplomatic situation re-
mains unchanged. as Germany has not

SCIENTIFIC DRAINAGE.

The people Of York county now for
the first time have at their disposal,
for the asking all the scientific infor-
nation that could be desired on the
subject Of ditching. terracing, deep
blowing, etc.
Mr.. w. E. Herring Of Washington,
D. c., an expert connected with the
experiment stations Of the agricultural
departments drainage investigations is
here for an indefinite stay. He Is
boarding with Mr.. T. P. Moore's family
on north Congress street, and he Is at
the command of farmers who may de-
sire to avail themselves Of his SER
vices.
Mr.. Herrings business Is to give ex-
act Information as to the drainage
needs Of any particular piece Of
ground. Where terracing has been at
tempted without success, he points out
the trouble. He also shows where ter
races can be used to advantage and
where tiling is better. He shows the
FARMERS HOW W TuI lucil tciidSSo' oiie
also gives them information as to how
to underdrain bottoms.
The services Of Mr.. Herring are to
be entirely gratuitous. The govern
ment only seeks in the first place the
privilege of helping those who desire
help along this line, and In the second
place. II asks that later on people who
may have tried such experiments as
have been suggested by Mr.. Herring
report the results to the agricultural
department.
Mr.. Herring expects to remain In this
section as long as the farmers show
by their interest that they appreciate
his presence; but that should not be
taken to mean that just any time will
do. Farmers should proceed to make
gagements with him at once.

During the past few days, some
twenty or thirty acres Of cotton have

resown in peas. Cotton which was
worked out early Is looking nicely; but
where 1t stood so long in the grass the
plant Is quite small.
Rain Is very much needed to bring
up corn that is now being planted, and
also to push late cotton along.

remembered by many Of the older
readers Of THE ENQUIRER as a former
contributor to this paper For several
years previous to the war he was a
member of the faculty Of the South
Carolina college, and each week he had
a column in THE ENQUIRER especially
devoted to the literary developments
Of the day He was particular friend
of the poet Timrod, and was on very
intimate terms with all the ante-bel-
lum writer's of the day. He was the
author of several books, 1.-THE Living
Writers Of the South" and the Poetry
of the Future" among them. His books
were characterized by much ability and
patient research, and had 1t not been
for the changes brought about by the
war they would have no doubt become
recognized masterpieces of southern
literature. AS 1t has been their sale
has been confined principally to the
north, especially since the war Mr..
Davidson was also the author of the
first school history Of South Carolina,
and subsequent authors of South Car
olina history have followed his work
closely. At one time Mr.. Davidson was
the American correspondent of leading
London newspapers, including the
Times, and was for several years as
sociate editor of the New York Even
ing Post. He was one Of the editors
of the Standard Dictionary, and from
whatever standpoint, was one OF the
most scholarly South Carolinians OF
his day.

tremendous roar, which goes to in
crease the sublimity Of the scene.
But has no attempt been made to
utilize this magnificent power? Yes,
to a small extent-long ago. Near the
head Of the Falls are to be seen a few
iron bolts sticking out of the rocks.
They once held In position the foun-
dation timbers Of Doig's grist mill; but
the closest observer would not now be
able to see even these bolts were they
not especially pointed out. Further
down, not more than two hundred
Yards, is the site Of what was once Nc
Cullock's cotton mill. The mill was In
operation for many years, until the
close of the war and manufactured
principally cotton yarn; but Sherman's
army passed that way, and a few brok-
en- cog wheels are all that is left.
The Tenth census puts the number
of horse power to be developed at
these shoals at the confessedly low
estimate Of $1,000. A more recent sur
vey results in an estimate Of over 65,-
900 horse power, to be developed at
only four eligible sites, and the engin-
eer believes that fully 100000 horse
power can be made available II neces-
sary. In the whole United States
there are only about 1,250.00o horse
power used in all kinds Of manufactur-
ing, developed by water power, and the
full significance Of these figures can be
better appreciated when 1t Is reflected
that they represent a possibility Of de-
velopment equal to nearly ene-twelfth
of all the utilized water power in the
United States. II all this power were
used In the manufacture Of cotton 1t
would give employment to over $4,000
operatives and support a city of more
than 100000 inhabitants"

"sIDpINe FOR WHAT"
Rev. J. E. Jacobs Would Discourage
the cornpetition For the College.

Rev. J. E. Jacobs Would Discourage
the Composition For the College. s
Rev. ]. F. Jacobs Of Clinton. has re-
quested the publication of the following
in THE ENQUIRER, In order that towns
now bidding for the Presbyterian Col
lege of South Carolina may not be de-
ceived as to what they are actually
bidding for:
Several enterprising towns Of South
Carolina appear to be In eager COM
petition to secure the location Of the
Presbyterian College Of South Carroll
ma, now located at Clinton, 8. G.
1t Is probable that the bids for the
institution are being made In ignorance
Of the facts Of the case which are as
follows:
The college is worth about $4,000,
invested In improved real estate In
three blocks. Two of these pieces OF
property are owned by the Clinton Col
lege association and are held In trust
for the board of trustees Of the Pres
byterian College of South Carolina
for their use in conducting the Pres
byterian college so long as that insti-
tion remains at Clinton.
These two pieces Of property have
all the pubic OuiiuinBS loBStHOi win
the entire equipment Of library, labor
atories, society halls and college furni-
ture Of all kinds. On this property is
included one professors residence, the
dormitory, the mess hall, the recitation
hall and the athletic grounds, total II
acres. This property cannot be moved
and cannot be sold by the board OF
trustees.
The third block Of property Is owned
by the board Of trustees, and may be
sold and the proceeds removed to any
other locality This block consists or
eight acres Of land and two professors
residences on which rests q mortgage
of several thousand dollars. II the
property were sold, It would net, above
indebtedness, not exceeding $4,000,
which is the total sum Of valres which
may be moved from Clinton to new
location.
In other words, any town bidding for
this college can secure just as much
property by adding $4,000 to their bid
and establishing their own college de
novo without causing any injury TO
The college at Clinton.
These facts may be disappointing TO
enterprising gentlemen who are work
ing to secure the location OF the col
lege. But they should not be, as they
indicate a method whereby all the con-
testing towns can be successful, II they
are willing to add couple OF thousand
dollars in each case to the amount or
the bids and establish their own col
leges.
The above statements can be verified
by reference to any Of the directors OF
the Presbyterian College Of South car
olira, or any A. nber Of the Clinton
College association. -,
The fact Is that Clinton college Will
remain where It is even II the name,
Presbyterian College Of South Caron-
ma. is taken to some other town.
