A. C. T.. GOBBLED.
Reported Pennsylvania Has Bought
the Coast Line.

A rumor has reached financial clr-
cles in this section that the Atlantic
Coast Line has been bought by the
PENNSYLVANIA road. Bankers and
manufacturers who have large ships
nents to and from New York and the
east have heard rumors and are very
much interested, but as yet there has
been no official confirmation of the
report.
If. the sale has been made it may
prote to be one of the most impor>
tant railroad deals Of recent years and
may materially change the railroad
situation in the South. The Southern
railway may be badly crippled and
the Coast Line may be greatly bene~
fitted.
The Pennsylvania railroad owns the
tracks between Washington and New
York, and the Southern has been op>
Grating its trains from Washington
to New York over the Pennsylvania's
tracks, just as has the Coast Line
road. Both roads have had traffic ar
rangementsl with the Pennsylvania.
for both freight and passenger busi~
ness.
If the Pennsylvania road has
bought the Coast Line it will natural>
ly give that road the advantage on
business to and from New York and
the east, and the Southern may havs
to make other trackage and traffic
arrangements for business north OF
hington-Anderson Mail.

PENALTY FOR PROHIBITION.
AnH-Dispensary Counties Get no Dis
pensary School Funds.

Columbia, September 22.-comp-
troller General Jones announced that
he viii distribute the next apportion-
ment Of dispensary school prof1ts IN
The same manner as he has previously
done. Since several Of the counties
have voted out the dispensary, under
the provision tackled on to the Brice
bill. there is a question as to whether
they are to get any further prohts
from the dispensary for the scnool
fund- It will be remembered that
Greenwood and Marlboro, which
have never had dispensaries,, have all
along oeen getting their share Of the
dispensary profits for school funds.
Under the provisions Of the Brice DILL
one of the penalties cf voting out the
disuensary is to be denial of share
in the dispensary profits, although
these counties have helped to pile up
The half million dollars now on hand,
the dispensary accounts, to the credit
of the school fund.
Mr.. Jones says he will pay Mari
boro and Greenwood as he has al
ways done and that he will reserve
the quota that ought to go to Chero-
kee, Union, Newberry, Marion and the
: other counties voting out the dispen-
sarv unti, a court of competent juris
diction decides exactly what should
BE done with the fund that he sets
aside.
The point now at issue is whether
or not the Act can deny the counties
share of the accumulated profits that
the dispensary books show to exist,
because there is really very little pros
pect OF more money being made for
this account for a while, and if the
counties can get their share of the
fund now carried on the books they
will be abundantly satisfied.
Comptroller General Jones made
the following formal statement:
ST consider the law to mean that the
deficiency is made up first in all coun-
ties where there is a deficiency, out of
the school money. I also think that
the surplus money should be distrib-
uted In the counties that had no dis
pensary from the first. The law OF
1904 clearly says, however, that n"
county voting out the dispensary shall
receive any Of the school fund from,
the dispensary.
ST have read that some of these
counties will make contest on this
law and when the next distribution of
this money takes place shall hold
to Cherokee, Union, Pickens, Newber-
nv and Marion, to await an order by
the court"
Legal authorities seem to think that
this will be done by mandamus pro-
ceedings, compelling the comptroller
to pay over to the above counties their
share Of the money. If the court sus-
tains this contention the Comptroller
General will pay over the money, but
if this is overruled, then the money
going to these counties will be divided
among the other counties. AS stated
above this does not apply to the de-
fciency. which goes to all counties
alike.

THE PEABODY FUND.
Will Be Divided Among the Southern
College Next Month.

Columbia, September 23.--Hon. O..
B. Martin. State; superintendent Of
education, stated yesterday that the
meeting Of the Peabody Educational
Bord will be held next month and at
that time the final distribution Of the
Peabody fund will be made. AT the
meeting in the spring s1,O00,0oo was
voted to the Peabody normal and the
residue, s1,S00,O00, was to be divided
at the fall meeting. a
Some of the members of the board
wanted the fund divided among the
several States for the public schools,
but other members thought the mon
ey would do more good if given to the
technical schools. 1t is believed that
Winthrop will come in for a large
slice OF the $1,S00,000.

HIGH TIDES At PANAMA.
Rise and Fall Twenty Feet, but Only
One Foot at Colon.

with the preliminary work of dig
ging the great canal all eyes have been
centcred uDon thu. 18th, lus of Panama.
said 4 naval officer on duty in Balti-
more the other day, land incidentally
many curious facts not generally
Enown are being dug up about that
eection. and not the least interesting Is
the difference in the rise and fall Of
the tides on either side of the isthHIus.
Recent reports made by the United
States coast and geodetic survey show
that while the mean average of iide at
Colon is 0.6 foot, at Panama Ii is 1876
fo ct, and n recently published report by
General Peter c. Iaines says that the
rise and fall Of tide at Panama is twen-
ty feet and that at Colon is only one
foot. Sc, while the mean level of the
two oceans is precisely the same, the
level of the Pacific at Panama is ten
feet higher at high TIDE and ten
feet lower at low tide than the Atlantic
at Colon twice day.
1.-THE low tides at Colon are account
cd for by The fact that the Caribbean
lies IN a section about midway between
points where the tides vary considera-
lily. AS Il simple, practical illustra-
lion. let n basin which is partly filled
with water be oscillated vertically;
the water will rise on one size of the
basin as it falls on the other. while in
the middle portion of the body of wa
ter there will be scarcely any vertical
movement. Applying this tC the case
in hand, it will be seen that VIXEN it is
low water at the northeast coast of
Brazil it is high water on the Atlantic
coast OF the United States, and vie,
versa. Therefore, the Caribbean SCI,
being about ar equal distance between
the two points, it will be easily seen
why the Atlantic ocean tide does not
enter the Caribbean sea with sufficient
range to cause a high tide at Colon.
"On the other hand, Panama lies at
che of the Pacific ocean angles. The
Gulf Of ALASKA marks a second. and
the eastern coast of the Philippine is

large triangular area which constitutes
the whole of the North Pacific ocean.
Now, it is known that in triangular
areas the angles usually have large
ranges of tide. If, again, for a simple
illustration, one will Oscillate vertically
a basin of triangular form partly filled
with water this will be sufficient DEM
chstration to prove why the tides at
Panama are 50 phenOmenally high a.
compared with those at Colon. The
conformation Of The land, the curve OF
the shore line to the southwark from
Panama, constitute another element in
the case, for it tends to form an angle
and bay favoring the higher rise Of
