REEDY RIVERS COURSE
COMPLETELY CHANGED
Now Flows Quarter Of a Mile From
Plant of Power Com
pany.

Ware Shoals, Sept. 1.-The plant
Of the Ware Shoals Manufacturing
company at this place was started
yesterday morning, after being closed
down since last Tuesday by the high
water in the Saluda river. This plant
has probably suffered less with the
high water than any plant on the riv-
er. The water rose up nearly 13 feet
in the power house, but none Of the
machinery was injured to any great
extent.
The flood was hi CHEST here Tues
day afternoon about 6 o'clock, and at
that time there were 10 feet Of water
going over the top Of the dam here.
The steel bridge across the Saluda
river here is about the only bridge
left on this river between here and
Greenville. Old residents Of this part
Of the country declare that this flood
was eight to ten feet higher than ary
high water they have ever seen in
these parts.
Over on the Reedy river at Boyd's
mill, about six miles from Ware
Shoals, where the Reedy River Pow
er company is developing a wafer
power. the entire ct'arse Of ths Reedy
river was changed for quarter of 4
mile. and the river flows entirely
around the old dam Of this concern.

cause his friends chose to conduct a
campaign on a lower level, namely:
Not on the merits Of their leader, but
upon their own charges against the
character of Ansel's competitor.
War by insinuation or innendo
against anybody does not meet our
approval. The conduct Of some preach
ers and some men in Blease's home
town first excited our sympathy for
him, as one who is prosecuted because
of his humble birth.
The avidity with which several
newspapers afterwards have made
war on Blease, as we may enormously
think, because of a disposition to
kick the man whom they may think
is down, is so repugnant to the nature
of this editor that yesterday we cast
our vote. not against Ansel, but
against the methods Of his friends
whose conduct should be as high as
the highest. Ansel is too high man
to seek or to accept reelection either
by doubtful or by discreditable meth
DDS. He seeks no office to which he
must attain by trampling under foot
the good name Of any man, which
good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches, and which is more to be
coveted than the acquisition Of the
highest honors that a great State
could bestow.
This editor has right to vote for
the best man who may offer for Of
fee. We have the right to choose be-
tween men Of equal character and
ability. We have the right to a choice
between men who are our neighbors or
our friends.
II there is a lack Of friendship or
respect or neighborly feeling still, on
the ground that there is difference in
rotten apples, We have right TO
choose between them.
While the attack upon the eharac-
ter of Mr.. Blease may not have been
malicious, yet we think other methods
should have been adopted for Ansel S
reelection.
The assassination Of ones charac-
ter is scarcely less to be deplored than
the assassination Of the body. But
assassinators of character in this
State generally escape without the
trouble of responding to the demands
of officers Of the law. If the body IS
killed the slayers must give $l,oOo
bail, and then hire lawyer to get tor
them court certificates Of innocence.
This editor, speaking for himself,
never expects to approve either OF the
assassination Of character or the
bush-whacking of the person. Both
should be protected from violence and
injury.

REFLECTIONS ON ELECTION.
A Veteran Editor Writes Of Charac-
ter Assassins and Other As
sassins.
Abbeville Press and Banner.

Abbeville Press and Banner.
Yesterday the people Of South Car
olina held their primary election for
=. S. senator, State officers and coun-
ty officers. During the previous night
and in the forenoon of the day, rains
fell, and the overhanging'clou made
the day as gloomy as any that we
ever have in this ection. And in the
afternoon a ceaseless rain fell.
It seemed that few Of the soverigns
could exercise their right to vote or
express their choice for officers and
Representatives.
While the friends of each candidate
were interested in the election Of their
favorites, yet the chief general inter
est seemed to center in the election OF
G.. S. senator and governor Of the
State.
The campaign Of the State from
county to county is not only instruc-
tive, but it is Influential in giving di-
rection to the votes of the people. For
instance, at the beginning Of the cam
paign the vote for Rhett, in our opln-
ion, would have been small in the up
country. Little was known of him
and prejudice against Charleston
would have had its influence in keep
ing votes from Rhett.
Of course it is not known to US at
least, how the candidates will stand
at the count out, but our testimony
would be that to his competitors are
due large share Of the votes which
went to Rhett yesterday.
For .. S. senator the campaign was
run on a different plane, though char
acterizcd by something Of the same
animus as that for governor Of the
State.
Vigorous war was made against the
Democracy of Rhett, and such speci-
fications were made as in themselves
disproved the assertions Of his ene-
mics. Excepting only in charges as
to the contents of a letter to the
president the antidote went along
with the POISON, and accomplished the
opposite effect from that which was
intended. Latterly the charges as to
the contents Of the letter were dis
proved. The disproval Of the cor
rectness of the charges as to the con-
tents of Rhett's letter to the presi-
dent, appealed to the unbiased voter
who may have felt like righting the
wrong which had been done to good
man. The worth of this man, and
the high conduct Of his campaign were
factors in Rhett's favor. Speaking
for this editor, his vote was changed
from one of the other candidates to
Rhett.
In the governors race, it seemed to
us that the friends Of Ansel, relied
more on their ability to deprive Blease
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1908-09-04

Of any vestage Of reputation than up
on anything else. Character assaslns
may always rely upon having a fol-
lowing. It is needless to point rea-
son, but it will not be forgotten that
the followers Of those who assail char
acter are of different classes:
1. There are always host of en-
vious souls who would dislike to see
man rise from the ranks.
2. There are others who are unal-
terably in favor Of the effort, no mat
ter how disreputable, to destroy any
mans character. There love of filth
is simply indescribable.
3. And then there are the inno-
cent and gullable class who open their
mouths, swallow everything that may
be thrown into them, and who, with
out question, believe everything evil
that may be said in their hearing.
Any man who assumes the role Of
character assassin may, therefore, ex-
pect following. And it is not un-
reasonable to believe that there was
strong opposition to Blease.
On the other hand, there are host
Of men in this State, who can testify
to the personal high character and
the uurity of the private life of Ansel.
The idea, however, still exists in the
minds of some, that governor needs
a second term as an endorsement or
as vindication Of his official career.
This idea had some influence with
voters.
In some instances the contention
that a governor whose term is expir-
ing, needs second term to vindicate
his official career may properly be
urged. It is right to do so when the
official conduct Of the governor has
been questioned, or when there is
doubt as to the wisdom Of his official
acts.
To make such claim for an accepta-
BILE governor whose term is expiring
is an implied reflection upon either
his wisdom or his impartia'itty, or the
correctness of his official acts.
Governor Ansel's conduct, both as
man and as an officer needs no en-
dorsement. His manhood and his off,
cial acts speak for themselves, and
neither he nor his friends need plead
the baby act in urging his need of
a second term to vindicate his course.
He stands before the world an up
right man and an officer without re-
proach. He needs no vindication.
And we are sure that he never has
been reduced to the necessity for urg-
ing such "vindication' or such an
endorsement. On dead level this
editor would vote for Ansel against
the world. A man as pure and up
right as is Ansel should have requlr-
ed his friends to conduct as clean
and as honorable a campaign as did
Rhett. Rhett and his friends, as far
as they we're concerned, conducted
their campaign on the high plane Of
which their candidate was worthy.
While Ansel may not be to blame, be-

IS NOT DANGEROUS
THE RIVER, HOWEVER. IS STILL
 RISING.
Rate of Rising is Net as Rapid ss At First, But Flood Stages win Probably Be
 Reached.

The river Is still rising at . rapid rate. although the reports show that the rate of rise Ia decreasing some what. The rise is kept up by the in flow into the Alabama by the Talia- poosa. and while flood stages are pre- dicted for the upper Alabama, the rise will not reach so high stage as was at first predicted by the local Weather Bureau.
 At a late hour yesterday afternoon the waters of the Alabama were still rising at all points in this district from Gadsden. south. At Rome the river was beginning to fall slowly. At Montgomery the gauge showed A read ing of 30 feet at o'clock, rise of Fl feet since o'clock yesterday morning and a rise of . feet since the noon hour.
 With the reading of the guase it will be seen that since the beginning of the rise on Sunday night the river has risen 21.2 feet. At Miistead the river was 29.9 feet yesterday morning. rise of s.s feet in twenty-four hours. with the report that the water was still rising. At Selma the gauge show ed a depth of z7.7 feet rise of s.s feet in twenty-four hours with rising reports.
 The above figures show that the rate of rise is decreasing steadily at all points above Montgomery where the rise is kept up by the innowing waters of the TaIlapocsa. It Is now thought in the offlce of the local Weather Bureau station that the river will not go quite as high as the nrst predictions seemed to warrant Flood stages will, however, prevail in the Alabama for the next two or three days.
 The rise may possibly be continued for five to seven feet additional, put ting the river at 35 or 37 feet before the fall sets in. These figures will be inc maximum stage on this rise. At Selma the rise will hardly exceed 6 stage of forty feet if it reaches that figure.
 Fair weather prevailed over the en. tire eastern portion of. the country yes terday under the Influence of . high barometer area extending from the lake regions to the coast Similar con ditions will probably prevail over the same region today.
 An extensive area of low barometer which is at present covering the entipe western portion of the United States with it's centre over Wyoming yester- day, is moving slowly eastward and It's effects upon the fair weather will in all probability be felt by tonight. Condi- tions perhaps may swing the area straight across the continent, and if such turns out to be the case. the fair weather will not be materially inter- fered with.
 The prediction for today Is continued fair weather with perhaps increasing cloudy weather tonight and Friday morning.

wants ChiId Labor Law Passed, Aiss an Emplsysr.' Liabiiity law and . sfodiAeation of the Anti
 Sherman Trust Act.

Washington. March 25.--A special message from the President was read in both Houses of Congress soon after converting today. and in both 1t was closely followed.
 In the House. the declaration that the time had come for q revision of the tarin, elicited handclapping on the part of the Democratic members. Demo cratic approval also was given by way of pounding desks to the suggestion that Congress could with advantage forthwith remove the tariff on wood pulp. with cofrespondins reduction upon paper made from wood pulp.
 The Republicans waited and confined the applause to the message as whole. In the Senate the message was re- ceived without comment of any kind. The message follows;
 "To the Senate and House of Repre-
 sentatives:
 q cali your attention to certain measures as to which think there should be action by the Congress be- fore the close of the present session. There is ample time for their consid- eration. As regards most if not all of the matters, bills have been introduced into one or the other of two houses. and it is not too much to hope that ac- tion will be taken one way or the oth- CT on these bills at the present ses- sion. In my message at the opening of the present session, and, Indeed. in various messages to previous Congress- es. have repeatedly suggested action on most of these measures.
 "ChiId labor should be prohibited throughout the nation. At least q model child labor bill should be passed for the District of Columbia. It Is unfortunate that in the one place sole- iy dependent upon Congress for It's leg islation, there should be no law what ever to protect children by forbidding or regulating their labor.
 EmpIOyers' Liability Law.
 T renew my recommendation for the immediate re-enactment of an employ CTS liability law, drawn to conform to the recent decision of the Supreme Court. within the limits indicated by the court the law should be made thor ough and comprehensive. and the pro- lection 1t affords should embrace every class of employe Co which the power of Congress can extend. In addition to q liability law protecting the em- ployes of common carriers. thesGovern- ment should show its good faith by en- acting further law giving conpensa- tion to its own employees for injury or death incurred in its service. 1t Is q repfoach to us as nation that in both Federal and State legislation, we have afforded less protection to public and private employees than any other in-
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-03-26

r .aa1 U Y Rress should recognize in fullest fash ion the fact that the subject of the conservatism of our natural resources. with which this Commission deals. Is literally vital for the future of the Nation
 s.Numsrous bills granting water power rights on navisable streams have been introduced. None of them give the Government the right to make a reasonable charge for the valuable privileges granted. in spite of the fact that these water-power privileges are equivalent to many thousands of acres of the best coal lands for their pro- duction of power. Nor is any definite time limit set, as should always be done In such casee. shall be obifx. ed hereafter. in accordance with the policy stated in q recent message. to veto any water-power bill which does not provide for a time limit and for the right of the President or the Sec retary concerned to fix and collect such a charge as he may find just and req sonahle ins each case.
