to us that this is starting at the
wron" end.
In the first place, there is not the
population that would use road Of
this kind to warrant the one that is
proposed to be built from Charleston
10 Orangeburg. It is differently in
the Piedmont section, where there are
numerous cotton mills and quite a
number of centcrs of population,
which would use the road if it were
built in this section.
We hope, however, that the Public
Service Corporation is not simply a
promoter, but that it has back of it
sufficient strength to get the propos-
cd line in operation in the not far
distant future.
IF This company would go to work
first and build Il road from Saluda
for instance, across the country to
Ncwberry, Whitmire and Union,
which would go through section
which is greatly in need Of railroad
facilities, and use this as nucleus
for cxtcndin" its lines, there would be
more reason to hope that something
tangible would result from the agi-
lation.
There are plenty Of good water
powers in this section, which could
be utilized to furnish the power
with which t" operate such Il road.
For a line Of this kind to he sue
crSsfulIy operated. ii seems to us
hat il would be necessary to secure
the operating power at minimum
IF cost, which can only be done by
harnrsSin" some Of the magnificent
water power in this section of the
state.

to regulate not only corporations but
the conduct Of individuals: &SEl
"Presidcnt tendencies in some To-
cahties are toward undertaking TO
regulate all the details Of the busi-
ness Of transportation by rail by
statute law, regardless of whether or
not the statutes come into conflict
with the immutMble laws Of econo-
mics and of trade. This is not a new
proposition, and lessons as to the fu-
tility of attempting it may be learn
ed from the history of the past. Ever
since the day when King Counte
stood upon the coasts of Britain. and
forbade the tide to rise there have
been men who have believed that the
laws Of nature and of economics
could be repealed or modified by leg
islative acts. Attempts have been
made to fix by law the prices Of COM
moditics and the wages of labor and
to prescribe impossible conditions for
the conduct of business, but every
such attempt has ended in failure,
and the failure has generally been at
tended with consequences more dis
astrous than the wetting of the royal
robes that followed King 'Canutc's 's
mandate to the tide.
Gone word in conclusion. II has
become popular to ,liscrcdit the p1r-
poses Of the railroad manager. When
ever he announces policy intended
to improve the relations between the
carriers and the public and founded
upon broad and just principles, there
are those who question his sincerity.
An effort is made to make him
thing apart from the good and patrio-
tic men Of the community. T appeal
against such a sentiment to the sense
Of right and justice of the American
people. We. who are stiivin" to
conditions and to perform
we'll our public duties, must be adj
mittcd to your confidence and mp
held by your encouragement. The
task at best is hard. The conditions
that surround us arc most trying. We
can only succeed if the sincerity and
honesty Of our purposes are reco"niz-
"d by the people and We are upheld
by their generous favor and co-opcra-
tion.'

ii was feared the members Of the

get two trips to Charleston. One in

another in June when the Isle of

THE SOUTH'S DANGER.

A few issues back was printed an
article from Mr.. H,lmonds, of the
Manufacturer Record, entitled
"The South s Prosperity is its Dan
ger"
1t was a very thoughtful article,
and we trust that it was read by our
subscribcrS very generally. In this
connection we desire to quote an cdi-
torial from the Anderson Daily Mail,
which was brought out by the publ
cation OF the article Of Mr.. Edmonls.
The Herald and News adds its en-
dorScmcnt to what the Mail SAYS so
well in regard to this article.
The tendency Of the south is. as
well rs elsewhere, too much towards
c"mmcrciaIiSm and it is very true
that there is great danger 10 the civ
lllzatlon and the citizenship Of the
south in the fact that we are rapidIy
aceumnatin% wealth. and from that
fact, will probably overlook the bci
ter and the higher things Of life and
especially those things, which have
made the civilization Of the south 4
distinct civilization.
The following are the comments Of
the Daily Mail. on this article of Mfr.
EdmondS:
Nlr. Edm"ndS rorcibly points out
1hat one Of the great dangers to the
south is its present and future pros
pcrity
In our accumulation of wealth, he
says we are liable to lose sight Of
tn" greater and better things Of life.

conditions, these may be lost. I'm thr

will be filled by young men who are
hrln" educated elsewhere and our
own young men will have no part in
the control Of affairs in the south in
the future.

 WALSH WILD, BUT EFFECTIVE Allows Only One Earned
 Run in Game. CLIMBERS CAN'T HIT WILHELM Safe Eingles are Bunehed in Only
 Two Innings. Most of the Time It Was |, Hard Dnt- tie Between the Montgomery
 and Birmingham Slab

Birmingham took the last game of the series yesterday. by score of 2 to 0.
 Walsh and Wilhelm were in against each other and to the steadiness of the Birmingham slabman in pinches is due the shutout. Walsh was pretty wild, hitting four men and giving three bases on balls. but none of the gifts helped in the Birmingham runs.
 waisb ans eTrons ons of made behind the first inning-was the cause of the second run made by Birming ham, Bir- mingham would have won the game on its merits; if the above error had been eliminaRd, the final score would have been l to instead of 2 to Q.
 The only time during the game that hits were punched on Wilhelm was in the seventh inning. when a couple of h1ts after two were out put a runner on third. Wilhelm steadying himself and letting the last man down easily.
 Molesworth. the first man up in the first inning. hit a fly to center field which Henline dropped. Molly going to third on DeMonts two -bagger. Both Gardner sacrificed Smith to second and Meeks was hit on the leg Walters hit fly that Ball captured and, trying for a double. threw to second. Nye let it get by him and Smith went to third With Alcock up the double steal was tried. Meeks starting for second and Smith for the plate. the latter being thrown out.
 Then 1t was battle between Walsh and Wilhelm until the seventh when with two out Henline hit clean and reached third on Perry's two-bagger. Nye ending 1t with a hit to DeMont.
 The first and seventh were the only times during the game that two hits came together off either pitcher. the Birmingham hits counting-and that's the whole story. The final score was:
