gusta by DR.. Strother, and accom-
panied by Mr.. P. b. Waters, Jr.,

and a consistent member of the

2 THE DAM TROUBLE.
New Fishway Ordered Placed at
the Locks on the Savannah.

For severaN years complaint has
been made concerning the scarcity
of fish ia the Savannah and its tr;bu-
taries above the locks, it having been
alleged that the sfshway at the dam
constructed by the city of Augusta
is defective in that,it does not allow
the fish to pass UP stream. Last year
a special commission was appointed
by the South Carolina Legislature to
make an inspection of the fshways
on the Savannah. Acting upon the.
report of the commission the legisla-
;ture adopted the following resolu-
tion last week:
Be it resolved by the House of
Representatives, the Senate concur
ring: That the. attorney general be,
and he is hereby, required to, bring
an action against tha owners of the
dam situated in Edgefeld county,
State ofSouth Carolina, above city
of Augusta, to erect and maintain
propersfishways or ON action abate
the said dam as in violation of the
terms of the original grant by the
said State Of South Carolina, as he
lis advised"
i Augusta does not look favorably
upon the resolution of the South
Carolina general assembly, and will
probably not act in the matter until
forced to do so. According to the
Augusta Chronicle, a prominent
city official made the following state
ment upon being informed of the
adoption-of the foregoing resolution:
The United States government
ordered in the present plan and un-
less the government directs US we
will not, change the fishway welfare
using. 1t is as good as any there is
in existence and the authorities of
South Carolina, / believe, will have
u hard time getting the war depart
mentg to orderin a different fishway.
If there is a new fishway ordered
in. the government engineer will be
pndoing his own work.

Executive Board Met.

On Saturday last the annual meet
ing of the executive board of the
Edgefeld Baptist Association was
held in the Baptist church here,
The principal matter that engaged
the attention of the board was appor
tioning the amount to be given by
the association among the nineteen
churches. AS will be seen from the
tabulated statement of the appor
tionment published in this issue, with
one or two exceptions, the churches
have been asked to increase their
contributions to the various causes
of benevolence about ten per cent
above last years apportionment. BY
adopting some systematic plan OF
raising the money the churches car
easily raise the amount that is ex
pected of them. fhe board is com
posed of the following very earnest
and jealous Christian workers: Mr.
o. Sheppard, Rev. P. b. Lanham,
Col. S. B. Mays, Rev. J..T. Little.
John, DR.. c. E. Burts, Col. F. N. *.

,vrro ,wIIIsKey problem, g
|lstateawiide prohibition bill was pas
.sed by the III ouse Of r. Iesenta tatives
by a majority Of eighteen votes but
THE senate refused to adopt the meas.
ure without an amendment. After
much discussion the senate finally
passed the bill. creating statewide
prohibition to become effective the
first Tuesday in August, 1909,
but tackled on an amendment proVid-
ing. for a special election inSthe wet
counties on the third Tuesday in
August. South Carolina will have
statewide prohibition by enactment
for period Of two weeks. The ad-
vantage gained by the prohibition
lists in passing this measure lis that
the legislature has ordered or provi-
ded for special electionsin the wet
counties, thereby relieving the peo-
pie in these counties of the trouble
and expense lpf circulating petitions
for the special election provided for
in the existing Carey-C -Cothran law.
The law which provides for state
wide prohibition for the above men
toned two weeks is too lengthy for
publication in full but we publish
herewith the amendment which en-
ables the wet counties to presume the
operation of county dispensaries, if
a majority of the voters of those
counties SO desire:
''Sec. a.. This actshall take effect
on the first Tuesday in August 1909.
Provided, That in the, counties then
having dispensaries an election shall
be held on the third Tuesday in AL
gust, 1909, for the purpose Of deter
mining whether the dispensaries To-
Gated therein shall be -reopened, and
such election in each of saidscoun-
ties shall be held and conducted by
the same officers and under theirules
and regulations provided by law for
general elections.
"Sec. l5. At such electionlt the cleo
ton commissioners for such county
shall at each voting precinct therein
provide one ballot box in which the
ballots must be cast. Any person
who is a qualified elector of such
County may vote in said election.
Every voter who may be in favor of
the sale of liquors and beverages i'm

the box provided therefor, on which
shall be printed the words For Sale
