FORGING THE BIG
PANAMA CANAL GATES

Mischievous boys dreaming of
gates to be carried away and
future Halloween. trophies W ould
not in the. widest nightmares
imagine such enormous gates as are
being made in Pittsburg for the
Panama canal.
They will be the largest gates in
the world. Any one of the go of
them WILDE about as high as six
story building, as wide as many
city buildings are (65 feet) and
seven feet deep or thick.
the structural steel that will go
to make them will weigh &c, 900
tons, more than eight times as much
as was used to build the Eiffel
tower in Paris.
The mighty portals, designed to
admit worlds commerce from
one ocean to another must with
stand tide of criticism as we'll as
tremendous pressure of water and
possible convulsions of earth.
For years the controversy over
gates or no gates, locks or sea level,
has been the dividing issue of the
canal problem. :.
In the face of fear in some
quarters that thes foundations on
the isthmus is not sure enough for
locks. that earth quakek or water
pressure would dislodge them, and
that an enemy's mines or accidental
explosion might easily destroy
them, the government has begun
to build the gates. The cost will
be SIS. 500, 900.
Of the 10000 tons of steel
required, the heaviest single pieces
will weigh about eighteen tons.
The thousands of Individual
pieces, numbered and fitted to-
gether as easily as children's
blocks, will be shippediby steamer
via Baltimore and with them will
go more than four hundred skilled
structural steel builders from
Pittsburg to set them. The
advance guard of experts will leave
here in December and the first
work probably will begin early in
1911.
The location of the 46 pairs of
gates will be, 20 at the Gatum dam
on the Pacific side. ia Pedro
Miguel, and IA at Mirahores, near
the Atlantic entrance. The gates
are designed to- hold back water
47.4 feet deep in a channel 10 feet
wide which means pressure of a
million pounds The weight of
q sin gle gate will be about 600
tons, and the dimensions are II to
80 feet high, go tors feet wide
and z feet thick. ~, 6sa
Each 10 ckrwiH- be ample Tor a
ship 5Osper cent larger than any
vessel afoat, and it,.has been
estimated \ that as many as q
hundred ocean ships may be
handled in single day.
There are no, locks approaching
these in size. The famous Suez
canal is a sea level affair and the
few great lock canals would have
to combine their gates to equal the
siz" and strength of the great
doors of Panama.

We understand that the contract
which the commissioners Of public
works have made for the extension Of
the Eatermains is for four-inch pipes.
The reason given for this is that the
none was not sufficient to put down
the larger pipes. It would have been
better to have put less pipe and larg-
er pipe, but, as stated, the four-inch
pipe will cost the town a great deal
more in insurance than to have used
larger pipe, besides if we ever decide
to extend we will have to continue
the use of the small pipe. It is a
great mistake that is being made and
we have simply called attention to it
for the public veal. Those whose
property adjoins these small pipes
will have but very little fire protec-
ton. II, however, they are satisfied,
we are.

ANOTHER "TlLMAN CASE?"
Reported Mrs. B. r. Tillman, Jr., May
Sue Husband it Is
Said.

Columbia, June 8.-Ever since the
Tillman case has been out Of the su-
preme court there have been reports
of additional suits of varied kinds
against B. R. Tillman, Jr. Apparent
~ the whole matter was partly crys-
talized recently, with the probable
decision of Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr.,
now residing in Edgefeld, to bring
a suit against her husband to recover
what she claims is due her from him
on account of alleged differences in
accounts between the two.
A few days ago it was stated here,
and dispatches were sent out, to the
effect that $4,000 suit would be
brought.
In order to find out if there is any
thing in the matter, the News and
Courier correspondent saw a mem

this evening. Messrs. Depass & De-

having represented her in the case
involving the custody OF the two
young children of Mrs. 7.llman, Jr.
Mr.. Depass, while not desiring that
the matter should have gotten into
print until something is done, i any
thing is to be done, stated that his
firm does represent Mrs. B. R. Till
man, Jr., in such a cas- involving diff
ferences between her and her hus-
band. Mr.. DePass added that the
amount was nothing like $4,000. Mr..
DePass said that no suit has been in
stituted and he can not say now that
one will be, and that the matter may
be successfully settled out of court. Mr..
DePass stated the case is simply one

there are three routes proposed from

Friday, June 10, 1910.

Tn Herald and News has published
in full the report Of the committee
from Union that made the trip from
Columbia via Newberry with the view
of securing the Columbia-Newberry-
spartanburg-Asheville highway.
The following editorial appeared
in the same issue Of the Union Times
that carried the report of the COM
mittee. We can not take any part IN
advocating the selection of any n
of the routes from NeWberry, but we
will be glad to cooperate with all of
them in the improvement of the
roads. That, after all, is the great
purpose we have in view. If we were
left to select the route however, from
Newberry to Union We would go via
Whitmire. We are satisfied that the
road on the Newberry side via this
route is a better one. We do not know
anything about the condition Of it on
the Union side.
The Times says:
The Times editor enjoyed the priv
ilege Of being n Of the committee
sent out in the scout a this week.
A report of that trip is published
elsewhere in this issue. One thing
that impressed us on the trip was
the mile of sand-clay road put in IN
der government expert supervision.
The mile is near Newberry and on
the road leading down to Prosperity.
The mile Of road is in perfectly good
condition and is a Joy forever, for it
is a thing of beauty. Mr.. Feagle, the
supervisor of NeWberry county, says
that an accurate account of the cost
of this mile of road, allowing the
usual salary for expert supervision,
labor and material, was about $3.50,
and that additional miles of road like
it can be constructed at that cost
