It is stated that in the division that
is proposed to be made OF the Pea
body educational fund, Winthrop Col
lege will come in for good share.
This is to be earnestly hoped for, not
only for the sake Of stimulating edu.
cational work in South Carolina, but
also as an expression OF appreciation
Of the great work that Winthrop is
doing. The college supplies great
need in the States system Of higher
education, and is deserving cf all the
encouragement that can be given it in
any way.

There is good deal Of talk about
reducing the cotton acreage. 1t re-
mains to be seen what will be done in
the matter. If the acreage is reduced,
those who now have cotton and all
who plant cotton will be greatly bene-
fited thereby. If it is not reduced,
those who are now holding cotton and
those who raise cotton this year will
all have to cell it at very low prices.

TAFT BIAMES WALLACE
Secretary Tells Senator's Former En-
gineer Made Big Mistake,

Journal Special Service. -. - -.
Washington, Dec. 13.-There are IT,
600 men employed on the Panama canal
at this time and not a shovelfuH Of dirt
is being dug. Secretary Taft has made
this statement before the senate com
these $1,000 men, 4,100 are employed
in sanitary work and the rest are en-
gagged in track work and the construc-
tion Of buildings.
Furthermore, no excavation has been
done since July 81 last. It was stopped
then by order Of Chief Engineer Ste
vnns. Both Secretary Taft and T. P.
sAonts. president Of the canal commit
tee, told the committee that the reason
this work was stopped was because the
former chief engineer. John F. Wallace,
had made mistake in his excavating
work. -
1t was developed before the commit
tee that the purpose Of the work done
by Wallace was estimating the cost of
excavating. Secretary Taft said the
statement was confirmed by Chairman
Shonts, that all the dirt dug by Wallace
was deposited in such place that It
will have to be moved again when the
work of excavation is renewed, thus ne
cessitating double handling Of the dirt.
" Wallace's Easy Job.
Mr.. Shonts told the committee that
for his work and that Wallace selected
an easy spot in which to dig. He went
to the top of the cut where he had gray
ity hauls and deposited the dirt he dug
out at the nearest place he could find
for it. Then, Shonts said, Wallace mis-
led himself, the commission, the presi-
dent and everybody else by making his
estimates Of the total cost of the exca-
waiting to be done for the, entire canal
on the cost of this easy work. Both
by Wallace was practically wasted.
