BUILD STRONG RESERVOIRS

Recent experience coupled with the
fact that the movement to inpouni
the waters of intermittent streams is
now under headway stronger than ever
before, points the necessity of making
all banks and dams not only safe from
an engineerig standpoint, but doubly
the figures of the technical man may
warrant the construction of artitices
for holding back water on ono basis
experience has shown that, too often
the contingency of the unforeseen has
not been guarded against; cloudburst
comes and the dam gives way before
tue extraordinary strain. The result
is disaster and what was intended TO
be blessing falls as curse upon the
community
Earth embankments are treacherous
makeshifts They can never be made
anything more. They may stand for
years and bring a sense of security.
only to go out when most needed and
when their capacity for working injury
is greatest. There are so many ele-
ments at work to minimize their
strength Gophers bore the banks TO"
their holes, prairie dogs and badgers
reduce the thickness of the embank
ment invoking the principle that it
can never be stronger than its weak
est point The well known truth that
an ocean will in time flow through the
crevicc forced by a single drop of
water, makes it imperative on every
builder to see to it that through his
dam runs some strata of material
through which tha. first drop can never
penetrate Engineering guards are
known, but the tendency of the age
is altogether too strong to get work
accomplished as quickly and as cheap.
ly as possible and take chances on tn,
dirt embankment escaping its heredi-
tary foes.
1t is better to get little less done
and know that the finished job is GO
ing to stand the test of time Better
fewer acres brought under cultivation
and to know that they will be assured
water for all time than more acres
with an uncertainty of how long the
on nd
which has attended the pathfinder dam
for the past week is an example Of
what must be avoided. In that case

pears, while building the Pathfinder in
a way to stand essentially "for all
time" to have left unguarded a weak
spot in the natural bank. When high
water assaulted this weaker spot il
for several days threatened complete
ly TO destroy the effect of the extra
ordinary care taken on the principal
structure. 1t had been left possible
for the river to cut q new channel
through which the enormous volume of
impounded water might be hurled upon
the people who had built their homes
wb.hin the shelter of the retaining
wall.
This is matter in which nothing
can be left to chance. To guard the
safety of human life is an even great
err call upon society than the one to
enlarge the capacity of man to earn
himself a. better living.-Denver Re

The City Clock.

Mr. Editor: For some time past
the city clock has been running .
minutes ahead Of standard time. A
few days ago we asked the street
overseer, Mr.. J. Monroe Wlcker'
vhy he did not set the clock TO cor
rect time. You would be surprised,
to know the reason he gave; and you
would wonder if the clock was put
up for the sole benefit Of the street
ovarseer and his force or for the town
at large. We will give these reasons IN
the next issue Of this paper II the
clock is not adjusted by that time,
so that the citizens Of the town may
pass judgment on these reasons for
themselves,
We believe the people want the
correct time ore else they would not
have purchased the clock but would
have been satisfied with Davis whls-
tie, the Newberry Mill bell, John
Neel's farm bell, or any other old
time. As it is now all is confusion
some have standard time, some have
Monroe Wicker time, some have a
devil Of time and the rest Of us
have no time at all.

THE REV. W. L. SEABR0OK.
He Accepts Highly Responsible Po-
sition in His Home County Of
: Carroll, in Maryland.

The Rev. W. L. Seabrook, who for
five years faithfully and ably served
the Lutheran Church Of the Re-
deemer, this city, and who, since he
he left Newberry two years ago has
been one Of the editors Of the Amer
lean Sentinel, at Westminster, Nd,
and also pastor of Trinity Lutheran
church, near Westminster, has ac-
cepted the position Of deputy clerk
of the circuit court of Carroll coun-
ty, in which Westminster is located,
and assumed the discharge OF his
duties on Wednesday.
The members Of the bar Of Car
roll county and the people of the
county universally, without respect
to party, strongly urged him to take
the position which was offered him,
and because Of the way in which 1t
was presented him, Mr.. Seabrook
felt that he could not decline.
The deputy clerk in Maryland is
what the clerk of the circuit court IS
in Newberry. The cheif deputy, tine
position filed by Mr. Seabrook, has
charge Of tha dockets and the eours
work. Three other deputies do the
recording and indexing. The term
is for six years. It is a good posi-
ton financially and the hours are
short, except during court terms.
Nj. Seabrook practiced law at
Westminster before entering the
ministry, and for four years was
deputy attorney general of the
State; so that the acceptance OF his
new position is in sense going back
to the old life and surroundings.
Mr.. Seabrook has resigned his ed
itorship, but will continue to serve
Trinity church as its pastor, and eV-
ery member Of the church IS enthus-
iastic about his new move. The re-
lief from his editorial duties ana
the short hours which will be re-
ouired by the new position will give
Mr.. Seabrook a great deal more time
to devote to his pastoral duties. he
is a conseerated minister, and with
him his church IS always first.
Mr.. Seabrook s many warm TRENDS
in Newberry and throughout TINS
State will be delighted to learn OF
the offer to him and the acceptance
by him Of the responsible position
the duties Of which he has assumed
and especially in view of the manner
in which it came to him. The ofe1
Of the position was. in nowise poht'
ical, but was personal, and as such
it was accepted by Mr.. Seabrook.

"PoILY OF THE CIRCUS"
Attractive Play to Be Presented in
Newberry Opera House on
Monday Evening.

While New York theatre-goers
have been thoroughly aroused by the
crusade instituted by church and
civic organizations against the pres
ent alleged tendency to immortality
on the stage as evidenced by sever
al recent productions, "Polly OF the
Cireus,'' which is to be presented IN
its original metropolitan magnitude
st the Opera House on Monday, De-
eember 13, is receiving commenda-
ton by clergymen Of all denomina-
tons in the various places It visits
as one of the cleanest and most
wholesome plays of the age, and an
entertainment that no lover OF an
evening Of genuine enjoyment IN the
theatre can afford to miss.
Telling, as it does, the story Of
the odd romance Of pretty little
circus rider and a village pastor IN
the Middle West, "Polly of the Cir
eus' is a drama as original as 1t Is
refreshing, and is one of those rare
plays that appeal to the "gallery
gods" with the same force as to the
occupants Of orchestra chairs. Since
this epoch-making play was first
produced hundreds Of thousands of
persons have been moved from laugh
ter to tears and to sheer JOY in fol-
lowing the fortunes Of the wistful
girl from which comes the title,
"Polly Of the Circus,' and her min
isterial admirer. The reproduction
of a mammoth circus in full swing
in the third act is the greatest piece
Of stage realism yet achieved, and
will be seen here identically as wit
nuessed during its season long run
at the Liberty Theatre, New York
City.
The company presenting this play
is by all odds the most competent
acting organization sent on tour this
season, and the local engagement Of
.'Polly Of the Circus' is certain to
prove the real event Of the season.

the following notes:
The session Of the Conference op-
ened last night with an address by
Rev. J. B. Traywiek who chose as
his subject: 'The place Of the local !.
preacher in theMethodist church. "
I mention this because in his dis
course he gave a large place to a
name forever dear to Newberry,
that is the name Of Rev. Mark Boyd,
and praised him for his long Life OF
faithful work in the Masters
cause.
This morning the session opened
with the communion, beautifully and
solemnly partaken of by the pas
tors and hundreds of visitors VINO
are already in attendance. Then tol-
lowed the addresses Of welcome.
Mr.. j. NJ. Nickles spoke IN behalf
Of this city, giving good address
with finest effect. Amongkther things
ha said. that in view Of the ap-
preaching session Of the Conference
Ahheville had risen up in her
strength and voted out the d1spen-
sarv and that as a fact they did not
even have a single "blind tiger, "
and then added very seriously that
he chopped that the stay OF the
preachers in this city would not be
less enjoyable on that account" AT
the close Of the address he was
cheered to the echo.
Hon, W. N. Graydon followed IN
a. pleasing address speaking in be-
half of the churches Of the city IN
viting all to every comfort the city,
full of willing hands and open
hearts, could offer.
