In Hopes That Channel Will BE
Opened to Navigation.

Opened to Navigation.
The O7angeburg correspondent of
The State says the Edisto river is to
be surveyed, looking toward the
dredging of the river, and the open
ing of it to navigation. w. L. Gloy-
er, chairman of the data committee
Of this city, received letter from
Congressman Lever Saturday stat
ing that Mr.. Glover should write Maj.
J. B. Vavanaugh, war department,
Washington, and furnish him with Il
list of those who are most interest
ed in this matter. Mr.. Lever stated
that he hoped he would be able to
go down the river with Capt. Adams
when he begins the survey.
The rivers and harbors act, pass
ed June Is, contained the following
order for examination: Waterways
from Orangeburg to Charleston, in
Guiding cutoff or canal from Edisto
river to ksheley river, with a view
or providing a more direct route be-
tween said cities than that afforded
by existing channels.
The Orangeburg committee has
been hard at work and has got to-
gether convincing data, running up
to 80 pages Of typewriter copy. A
Charleston committee has done some
work toward the passing of the sur
vey act.
Orangeburg realizes the great ad-
vantages ito be derived from the
opening of this river to boat trans
portation and is determined to fight
for the coveted end.

We have received cotton bloom
from Mr.. D. A. Dantzler, Of The
Cameron neighbood.
The reports of the Jeffries-J ohm
son fight was received at the Acad-
emy Of Music yesterday afternoon.
Most of the stores were closed yes
terday in honor Of the Glorious
Fourth; but some peemed to think it
was in honor of the Jeff-Jack bout
in Nevada.
The Orangeburg High School base
ball team was looking for a team
from Charleston yesterday to battle
them for two games, but the team
didn't show up.
Our telephone number is So. If
you know anything that will be OF
interest to others let us tell them
through our columns. Five-nine is
the number to call for.
The Military Band gave it's last
regular weekly concert on Friday af-
ternoon, instead of at night, in or
der that it would not conflict with
Dr.. Synder's lecture that evening.
There will be meeting of Paul
McMichael Chapter, U. D. c., We'd
nesday afternoon at five o'clock at
the home of Mrs. J. c. Pike, Sr., on
Orange Court. All members are re-
quested to be present.
On Thursday, the seventh, the
Rest House, which the city establish
ed some time ago, will be one year
old. During the year five hundred
and fifty people have registered
there. So it can be seen that the
work Of the city was appreciated
by the visitors.
The Woman's Missionary Societ-
les of the County Association will
hold their annual summer meeting
at Four Holes Baptist church, on
Friday, July 8, at the time of the
Sunday School Convention. All So
cieties are asked to send delegates
and a full attendance is desired.
The hospital, which was recently
opened here by Misses Marshall and
Cook, is meeting with a decided sue
cess. Already there have been sew
eral patients there. These young la
dies have established charity ward,
which will be under the control Of
the city council, and which the city
will help to maintain.
Last Friday afternoon the mem
bers Of the band were considerably
annoyed by the loud talking and
laughing. When they are playing
for US we should, at least, try to be
attentive and show that we appre-
clate their efforts to please. OF
course, no one meant any discount
teousy,s but it is very hard to play,
when 1t. appear that everybody is
listening to something else.
The city jail was looked over by
several OF the Aldermen, with a view
of making some improvements,
thereby rendering it safer. Chief
Fisher proposed that steel cage
Of two cells be substituted for the
cells on one side Of the guard house,
In which cage he would keep male
offenders; female offenders having
the three remaining calls reserved
for them. The change will probably
be made If the cost is not too much.

uses BLOCK SYSTEM
SOUTHERN LINES ARE EQUIPPED
WITH SAFETY DEVICES.
Interesting Facta by Bulletin Of In.
ter-state Commerce Commission

just Issued.
The bulletin just issued by the in
terstate commerce commission, CIV
ing the mileage Of railways in the
United States operated by the block
system on January 1, 1910, shows
that 2,OS0 miles of track on the
Southern Railway, constituting thirty
per cent. of the entire mileage OF the
syst EN-, is now equipped with this
safety appliance. Included in this
are the entire main line from Wash
ington to Atlanta and on to Birming-,
ham, the line form Bristol to Chat
tanooga, that from Chattanooga TO
Atlanta and Macon, and other impor-
tant sections. In the entire United
States there are only seven railway
systems with greater mileage 80
operated than has the Southern. No
other railway in the south operates
anything like SO large mileage with
.theblock system.
The system in use no the South
ern Railway is what is known as the
telegraph block" Suitable sema-
phore signals are erected at inter-
walls of about. five miles along the
road to guide the engineman in the
control of his train. The space be-
tween these signals is called block
and two passenger trains are un-
der no circumstances permitted in a
single block at the same time.
The working of this system may
be best explained by taking two
block stations. Gainesville, Ca, and
Oakwood, Ca, for example. Atrain
approaches Gainesville bound for At
lsnta. The operator at Gainesville
asks the operator at Oakwood if he
can have the block for the approach
ing train.
If there are no trains between
Gainesville and Oakwood the oper-
ator gives the required permission
and both operators make a record OF
the time, train number, etc. The
operator at Gainesville then clears
the signal by pulling it down to an
angle of about sixty degrees below
horizontal after the train comes in
sight. This is called clearing" the
signal and is done after the train
comes into sight to assure the en-
gineer that the signal is cleared for
him and he will not proceed into
the block unless he sees it. go
Clear" This assures him that he
is not taking signal given a pre-
ceeding train.
AS soon as he passes the signal
the operator returns the signal to
the horizontal position, this indicat-
es danger stop, and it remains In
this position as long as the train is
in the block. 1t will be noted that
two men, one at each end of the
block, must cooperate to allow a
train to enter, this provides a check
which effectually prevents mistakes,
it being unlikely that two men would
make the same mistake at the same
time.
To install this system has neces-
STATED the employment of large
number Of additional telegraph oper-
ators and the expenditure of large
amount Of money for line wire sig
nails, etc., but the officials of the
Southern Railway believe that the
expenditure is warranted because Of
the safety it affords. their patrons
from accidents due to collisions.

INDICATED
COURT FINDS THAT HE DIE
NOT ABUSE THE BROWNING
ESTATE

w. H. Plummer, the prominent
attorney against whom charges of
fraud and embezzlement were
made week ago by Attorneys O.
G. Moore and George II. Armitage,
has been indicated.
Judge j. d. Hinkle dismissed
Plummer from further accounting
in the matter of the Margaret
Plummer estate this morning, sig
nifying that the court was satisfied
that the attorney acted within the
law in the case.
At the hearing this morning Mr..
Plummer presented his side of the
case, proving that the funds and
jewelry comprising The estate in
question were in his hands only a
few hours, and Immediately placed
in a bank to the credit of Mrs.
Ray G. Corbit, the administrative.
Although Attorney Plummer and
Coroner Schlegel, who was made a
party to the action, were dismissed
by Judge Hinkle, Mrs. Corbit, the
administrative, will have hearing
on March to determine whether
she shall be removed.
According to advices from Michi-
gan, the two children of Fred and
Margaret Browning, deceased, are
not receiving the monthly sums Or
dered paid by the court for their
maintenance. Mrs. Corbit claims
that she sent the money to a bank
err with instructions to pay it to
those who are caring for the chill
dren.
Following the charges made
against Plummer of withholding
SIG in coin, $1,000 note and
jewelry from the administrator of
the estate of Fred Browning, Plum
mer made a sensational and violent
attack upon Moore and Armitage,
following the verbal shot, with a
petition for the disbarment of his
detractors.
No action has as yet been taken
in the disbarment proceedings.

SUIT OVER 20
INCHES Of LAND

Although Geo. A. Biebel and wife
started an action some time ago to
secure possession of 20 inches of
land from Lucy J. Reynolds and
$50 rent on the strip for four years,
when the case came up before
Judge Huneke this morning it was
discovered that Biebel had sold
the property and the court post
poned the trial. ordering that the
new owner be made plaintiff in TIA
case. = '@''9' -
The Biebels secured possession
of the land, a lot in Crowder's SUBJ
division of STATIONS addition, on
December 10, 1905, and discovered.

CITY WINS IN
|. v. v, FIGHT

A conference between the city
officials and representatives of the
Industrial Workers of the World at
Occur d'Alene last night resulted in
a settlement between them, which
closes the street speaking fight
and brings matters to exactly the
same conditions that existed before
the fight was taken up. The police
conceded nothing, but got every
thing. l. w. w. will be allowed to
conduct their hall and publish their
paper as long as they raise no dis
turbance about it. They will not
be permitted to speak on the
streets and they will be allowed
no privileges which they did not
have before the fight began, all of
which means that the Industrial
Workers have lost their fight.
Filigno must serve whatever SEN
tence is imposed on him. No APP
peal will be taken.
The perjury charge brought
against Martin ]. Burns, captain Of
detectives, in connection with testi
mony given by the sleuth in the
Heslewood case, has been with
drawn. Heslewood himself was
forced to stop habeas corpus pro-
ceedings and give himself up to
the Spokane officials. Here he will
probably be placed on his good be-
havior with $4,000 bond hanging
over his head.

A LOT OF GRIMES
BUT NO ARRESTS

Two daring burglars, thought by
the authorities to be the same me n
who robbed, bound and gagged D..
G. Dahl and his wife at their home
en- Princeton avenue recently, en-
tered the home Of Nathan Ander-
son last night and got away with
jeweIry valued at $500.
So successful was the previous
robbery, and evidently of the same
opinion held by all crooks who
have operated in Spokane that the
local detective department is "a
lead pipe" the burglars, who an
swer the same description of those
who entered the Dahl home, broke
their way into the Anderson resi-
dence at 0101O Summit boulevard
last night. Entrance was gained
from the basement by breaking in
Il door with an axe. No one was
at home when the thugs entered,
so they waited until Mr.. Anderson
and his wife returned.
AS soon as the occupants of the
house opened the door the robbers
leveled two guns at them and COM
manded them to turn their backs.
The victims were marched into the
sitting room, where they were tied
to chairs and blindfolded. Two val
liable diamonds, shirt stud and a
ring and watch valued at $500
were taken from Mr.. Anderson. A
solitaire diamond ring and an opal
ring set in the center of Is small
diamonds were taken from Mrs.
Anderson's hands.
The victims kept up conversation

MARCH WILL BE ON
TUESDAY

protest Tuesday night Is believed
certain by the leaders, who have
felt the pulse of the workers of
Spokane, who, without a dissenting
voice, say they are tired of the
lodging and postponement Of the
council
Either we are going to get what
we want, Tuesday night, or there
are going to be some new faces in
the city council, and if the mayor
wants to discover the temper of the
workers of Spokane all he needs do
is to attempt to postpone action on
the wage and matron questions un-
til Wednesday" said Mr.. Coates at
loon today.
The parade will form at 1880 and
march on the city hall, and every
Spokane union is ordered into the
parade.
1t is the first time in the history
of the city that a body of 5000 citi-
zens. demanding justice, have
marched on the city hall, and union
leaders apparently have no especial
fear of Chief Sullivan doing any
clubbing, or of there being any Jail
cells filled with enthusiastic union
men.
1--WE can't get anything out of the
council without soaring them; they
have repeatedly gone back on their
solemn pledges and rescinded their
ordinances proposing square deal.
The only way out now is to fight,
and we are going to fight"
That is the way another member
of the protest parade committee
feels about 1t.
Next Tuesday night will be the
liveliest evening Spokane has ex-
perienced in months, and without
definite action from the council on
the question of an increase for the
city laborers and on the police ma
tron problem the last attempt of
labor to politely request things
from the council will have been
made. 1t will be recall, special
election, and the putting in office
of fair men-that is the last word
of labor.

Idaho. He says the conditions in
that country and, practically all the
way between Lewiston and Spo-
kane in respect to washouts and
floods are very bad Prospects are
that the trouble is growing with the
melting snow. There are no less
than Is washouts on the new road
between Riparia and Lewiston, he
says. 1t took his train over two
days to come from Lewiston to
Spokane. Part of the time 100
people were shut up in baggage
car and a caboose. In Mr.. Evan
sons car were two sick women, a
blind man and a corpse. "You can
see what a merry time we had"

In London, Mrs. Astor's friends
are rejoicing at the prospect Of her
receiving 100000 a year alimony
instead of meager $4,000, as re-
ported. No one knows where the

$10,000,000 on Mrs. Aston.
Mrs. Aston is expected to marry
an English nobleman, and it is ru-

wife was Mary Letter of Chicago,
and who afterward became viceroy
of India, is the favored suitor from
among a half dozen noblemen.
