TUESDAY, JUNE "a, 1905.

COMMENTING on the installation Of
second Linotype machine in this office,
the News and Courier is kind enough
to refer to THE ENQUIRER as being "in
many respects the leading semi-week-
ly and county newspaper in America"
While this is rather more than THE
ENQUIRER would care to say Of itself,
at the same time 1t does not hesitate
to acknowledge that such talk is ex-
tremely pleasant.

GREAT cATAWBA FALLS.

The prospective early development OF
the tremendous water power at Great
Catawba Falls, makes that splendid
natural resource a subject Of particular
interest at this time. and the follow
ing from THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER
of May IA, 1890, will probably be read
with a little more satisfaction now
than 1t was then:
"These Falls are situated In the
southeastern corner of Chester county.
forming the boundary between 1t and
Lancaster, and a few miles north OF
Fairfield. On a bee line they are
thirty-five miles from Yorkville, twen-
ty from Chester and fifteen from Rich
burg. Taking the public road at this
latter point. one proceeds along an
elevated and almost level ridge, until
within less than a quarter Of a mile
Of the Falls. Here the ridge ends In
an abrupt promontory. holding its crest
several hundred feet above the river.
and Is descended by means Of tortu-
Gus defle. opening into the gorge
though which rushes the cascade.
AT this point the scene which meets
the eye is grand. The mighty Cataw-
ba, ordinarily from ITS to 200 yards
wide, is hemmed in on both sides. by
precipitous walls Of granite. and hav-
ing it's channel narrowed down to con-
siderably less than one-third Its usual
width is precipitated over the rocks
with fearful velocity. Dashing over
the masses Of stone, the seething wa
ters are lashed into a sheet of foam
extending across from shore to shore
and above and below as far as the eye
can reach The cascade is more than
a mile and quarter long, and de-
scends over 20 falls a depth OF very
little less than 10 feet, before 1t sub
sides in tranquil waters, with channel
expanded to 31S yards. Nor Is all
this tumult accomplished without a

TWO NEW LINES FOR SOUTHERN.
They Are to Accommodate Growing
Timber Business.

Plans are already under way for the
construction of two new lines for the
Southern railway, both Of them rum
ming In a northwesterly direction from
Western North Carolina to Eastern
Tennessee. Samuel Spencer, president
of the road, said yesterday that the
lines were intended to accommodate the
growing business, especially In timber
in that territory.
1.-THE Johnson City Southern Rail-
way" said Mr.. Spencer, us intended 10
shorten the line from Johnson City,
Tenn, to Marion, N. c. The company
which will build the line has just been
incorporated. The second line Is to
make connection between Marysville,
Tenn, to Bushnell, N. c. This route
will not penetrate Rabun Gap as re-
ported 1t will pass through another
gap in the mountains"
Mr.. Spencer said that the Southern
Railway are among the incorporators
of the Johnson City Southern Railway
company. The road will run from
Marion, n. c., in a northwesterly d.
rection along the north fork of the Ca
tawba river and then down to the Ten
nessee boundary, a distance OF seven
ty-one miles to Johnson City, Tenn.
The incorporators, and directors are
A. B. Andrews, Henry w. Miller, F. H.
Miller, Alfred p. Thorn, Fairfax Har-
rison and H. C. Ansley. Mr.. Harrison
is Mr.. Spencer's assistant. while Mr..
Thorn and Mr.. Ansley are respectively
counsel and treasurer for the Southern
Railway.
The contract has already been let for
the building of the forty-six miles eX-
tension from Marysville to Bushnell
Bushnell, N. c.. is on the same division
of the road as Marion, but about one
hundred miles further west.
Another phase in the development
Of this part of the country, which is
rich in timber and coal lands, Is the
extension of the Caldwell and Northern
railroad, which may ultimately be ac-
qured by the syndicate owning the
valuable Clinchfield properties. The
road runs from Lenoir. N. c.. to Nor
timer. a distance of nearly twenty-five
miles. and is now being extended to-
ward the direction Of Tennessee.
This road is controlled at present by
the Carolina and North Western Rail-
way interests. There is talk of run
ming the line to Spruce Pine, N. c., to
connect with the South and Western

THE people Of the state will watch
with no little interest the efforts or
w. Boyd Evans and others Interested
with him, to overthrow the verdict Of
the people with regard to the Pickens
dispensary. AS to the right OF Mr..
Evans and others to take the matter
into the courts II they see proper. we
make no question. And II the Pickens
proceedings have beer essentially ille-
gal, 1t Is proper for the court to inter-
fere. But some how, we can hardly
bring ourselves to the idea Of consider
ing the Boyd Evans proceedings as
bona fide. OF course. IL the supreme
court says that the Brice law is un-
constitutional, that may settle the
matter to all intents and purposes; but
there are thousands of good people, in
cluding many lawyers, as able as any
on the supreme court bench, who will
still believe that the supreme court
could have just as easily and a little
more honestly. decided the other way.
AS to whether the Pickens petitions ac-
tually contained the names Of one
fourth of the quail. ed voters, we do
not know. 1t is quite possible that they
did not. We do not concede this to be
fact until 1t Is shown. However, even
II the petitions did not contain the
names Of the requisite number Of quail
flied voters, the supreme court Is not
bound to nullify the election. The
time to have attach I'd the petition was
when it was still u the hands Of the
supervisor, or at least before the hold
ing of the election. The election could
have been restrained without difficulty
until the whole matter could have
been investigated. But when the peo-
pie spoke, their action might very well
be construed as having cured such
technical defects as may have existed
previously. If any mistakes had been
made, 1t was certainly not their fault
There may be some differences Of opin-
ion on the question as to whether the
people OF South Carolina are really
sovereign; but If there are those who
will insist on bringing this matter to a
test, we are of opinion that 1t will f.
nally be decided in the affirmative.

The first cotton bloom Of last year
was sent to this Office by Mr.. Meek

shape.
There is widespread complaint OF
scarcity of labor, not only in the mills;
but on the farms. This is not nearly
so serious a condition as an overabund-
ance Of unemployed labor; but still II
Is a condition that calls for correction
What Is to be done?
We have reproduced in another COL
umn a communication, In which Rev.
]. F. Jacobs Of Clinton, seeks to make
sure that none of the towns which
would bid for the location Of Clinton
college are deceived. This colnmuni-
cation Is more or less timely; but en-
tirely unnecessary so far as York
Vile Is concerned. 1t Is very we'll un-
derstood here that the management OF
Thornwell orphanage was foresight
ed" enough to locate the college bulld-
ings on orphanage property, and tnat
these buildings cannot be converted In
to cash. However, 1t is not cash that
the Yorkville people want. They want
the name Of the college and DR.. New
lille, and for these they are willing TO
give about as much property as the
college now has at Clinton. The York
VILE people also understand thes Mr.
Jacobs Is in error in assuming that
the college could not afford to move
for no more property than 1t now has.
Control Of the college grounds carries
with it control Of the college buildings,
and unless the Thornwell orphanage
people give up control Of the Presby-
terian college buildings, the college will
certainly leave Clinton. 1t will be COM
pelled to do so. And II the college does
leave Clinton, 1t cannot find anot 1er
location I'm the state that Offers more
advantages and fewer disadvantages
than does Yorkville.

President the Recipient
Of Public Honor
CONTINUED from Page Al

"Cherish public credit. just at
the moment there is no attack on
public credit, but if ever the
temptation arises again let our
people at the outset remember
that the worst because the most
insidious form of the dishonest
debtor is the man who would per-
suade him that it is anything but
dishonest for him to repudlate his
debts.
Finally, it is peculiarly appro-
pirate, when l have come to tins
city as the guest of the UnlVer-
sity of Pennsylvania, to quote an
other of Washington's maxims.
"Promote, as an object OF prl-,
mary Importance, institutions for
the general diffusion of knowl-
edge. In proportion as the struc--
ture of a government gives force
to public opinion, it is essential
that public opinion should be en-
lightened." Education may not
make a man a good citizen, but
most certainly ignorance tends to
prevent his being a good citizen.
Washington was far too much OF
a patriot, had far too much love
for his fellow citizens, to try to-
teach them that they could gov
ern themselves unless they could
develop a sound and enlightened
public opinion. No nation can
permanently retain free govern
ment unles it can retain a high aV-
erage of citizenship without a
high average Of education, using
the word in it's broadest and tru-
est sense to include the things OF
the soul as well as the things. OF
the mind. School education can
never supplant or take the place
of self-education, still less can 1t
in any way take the place of those
rugged and manly qualities which
we group together under the
name of character; but it can be
of enormous use in supplementlng
both. 1t is a source of just pride
to every American that our pe0-
pie have so consistently acted IN
accordance with Washington's
principle of promoting instltu-
tons for the diffusion Of knowl-
edge. There is nothing dearer to
our hearts than our public school
system, by which free primary
education is provided for every
one within our borders. The high
err education, such as is provided
by the University Of PennSyl-
vania and kindred bodies, not on
ly confers great benefits to those
able to take advantage of it, but
entails upon them corresponding
duties.
The men who founded this ma
ton had to deal with theories OF
government and the fundamental
principles of free institutions. We
are now concerned with a differ
ent set of questions. for the Re-
public has been firmly establish
ed. it's principles thoroughly test
ed and fully approved. To mere
ly political issues have succeeded
those of grave social and eco
nomic Importance, the solution OF
which demands the best efforts OF
the best men. We have a right to
expect that a wise and leading
part in the effort to attain this
solution will be taken by those
who have been exceptionally
blessed in the matter of obtain
ing an education. That college
graduation is but poor creature
who does not feel when he has left
college that he has received some
thing for which he owes return.
What he thus owes he can as a
rule only pay by the way ne
