CANAL TYPE UNSETTLED.
Engineer Stevens Said to Favor the
Building of Locks.

Building of Locks.
Washington, Nov 22.-Although the
board Of consulting engineers has de.
cided in favor of sea level canal it
is yet an open question whether the
Panama canal shall be sea level or a
lock waterway. The decision Of the
board OF consulting engineers is not
final. 1t was reached by a vote of to
in favor of the sea level project,
General Davis and Messrs. Burr and
Parsons joining with the five foreign
engineers against lock canal.
Chief Engineer Stevens of the Pan
ANA canal commission will leave Colon
for Washington next Thursday. He is
coming to give the commission infor.
nation upon different phases Of the
work on the isthmus, but more par
ticularly his views as to the type OF
canal. These views are already known
to the officials who are in charge of
the canal work, but an official state
ment from the engineer is desired
Mr.. Stevens told officials who recent
ly visited the, isthmus that if a sea
level canal was to be constructed the
government ought to put boys under
twenty years Of age in charge of it so
that they would last until the work
was completed.

PRESENT LULL IN RUSSIA GIVES
THE GOVERNMENT A SLIGHT VI
4 -s
r BREATHING SPELL.
DANGER OF UPRISING HAS PASSED
MARTIAL LAW IN POLAND VILE
PROBABLY BE ABOLISHED
IN NEAR FUTURE.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 22.-The pres.
ent lull is giving the government a
slight breathing spell. The strike
fiasco and the passing of the Polish
crisis have temporarily strengthened
the hands Of the government. Prac-
tically all danger of the necessity for
dealing with an armed uprising in Po-
land is regarded as over and martial
law will probably be abolished at the
end of the week.
The immediate question confronting
the cabinet is the electoral law. Pre-
mier Witte and his colleagues have
almost reached the conclusion to base
the elections practically on universal
suffrage. A member of the cabinet,
who may be considered to reflect the
views Of the premier, said: .
'The extreme wing of the intelligent
Liberals still insists on fighting a
windmill when they express fears of a
return to the old regime. That has
passed forever. The emperOr'S step is
irrevocable. The reports that his res
olution has been shaken are absolutely
without foundation. Nevertheless, the
country must be saved from anarchy
and strong measures like those insti-
tuted at Chernigoff, Saratoff, Tamboff
and ~Penza must be taken where the
occasion arises. Neither in Russia nor
abroad need there be the slightest
fears that the government desires to
retrace it's steps,"

at Port Arthur, they have conquered.
Cotton is looking pretty we'll con-
sidering the present drouth, but l
fear the hog and hominy crop will

getting late in the season for corn

Do you know that there are no
people who love their country better
than We love our little State South
Carolinss When duty or inclination
leads any of her citizens away how
their minds wander back and their
desires are to get back to the old
home again. It does not matter how
we'll we are treated, how much you
have to eat, how cheap to buy, how
charitable your new friends are, still
we would rather be back in our old
State and cur dear old county. We
are like the man who ate the crow:
"Boys I can eat crow, but I don'S
banker after it." I speak from ex.
perience as I had the Western fever
once, and when I arrived at[my new
home, oh, what letters I wrote you
and I wanted company. "Misery
likes company" Well, after awhile,
I got back, and I tell you when I got
back I got back to stay and T am
here yet.
The Bible says Lots wife was turn

enumerate in forty years.

determined to continue to pursue
them and if he cart catch q fox he
will have the fun of trying.
The mercantile business of Mrs. N.

The Lutheran church at White
Rock has been closed since Rev. Mr..
Ballentine left, but if reports be true,
it will not continue closed much
longer, as it is reported that there is
prospect of Rev. Mr.. Haigler being
called to preach there.
Rev. Ballentine said, it is reported,
''that he never wanted the doors of
his church at White Rock closed"
Well, the gentleman did not realize
his words; it has been closed, but
the friends of the church hope to
open the church doors again soon
and by Gods help they hope never
to have the same thing happen again.
