GAINESVILLE. Tenn, Feb. Is. -
Striking a pier of the Cumber-
land river bridge at GAINESVILLE,
shortly before dawn Saturday,
the towboat CLANCY Lamb, Cap
tain J. b. Smith, of Paducah,
sank in 20 feet of water.
Three negroes, two men and a
woman. Of Metropolis, ILL.,, were
drowned. Their names could
not be learned. All the remain
der of the crew escaped unhurt.
SO sudden was the collision and
so quickly did the boat sink that
there was no time to lower life
boats and the crew made their
way 10 land by swimming.
The CLANCY Lamb is owned by
Paul Ryman. He bought her
for the Ryman Line of Nash
vile. Until recently she had
been leased by the RampendahI
Lumber Company, of Metropolis.
Ill. She was on her way 10
Nashville when the collision &C.
Cured. Pilot Newman was at
the wheel.
The Lamb was built in 1892 al
Dubuque. Ia. Her port was at
Nashville. Tenn. She was l3G
feet in length. 2S,S feet in width
with a AS feet hold. Her gross
and net tonnage was 1874. She
was equipped with 200 horse
power engine. Her crew con-
sisted Of IL men. The Lamb

Congressman Ollie M. James.
whom we all know and love. was
selected from among the many
good Democrats in the lower
house to preside in the place of
Speaker Canaan while the Cana
dian reciprocity treaty was un-
der consideration. His selection
marked the establishment of a
precedent. Cannon's avowed
reason was that he wanted to
select the most thorough-going
Democrat in congress in order
that the Democratic party might
be thereby committed to the
principal embodied in the treaty.
Just a week or SO ago. Senator
Paynter, also of Kentucky. and
a candidate against Mr.. James
for the senate. was selected from
among the Democratic senators
in the upper house of congress
to lead the Democratic defense
of Senator Lorimer, whom the
nation believes was elected
through the bribery of the Him
OILS legislature. Lorimer is the
representative of corporate in
terests whose charters are reg
istered in New Jersey and whose
business is carried on through
out the United States. There
fore, the selection of Mr..
Paynter brought into sharp con-
trast, one with the other. James
was selected for his principles,
Paynter' for other reasons.
Upstate people sometimes think
it strange that Ollie James has
the hold on the people of his

On The Site OF The Old
press Office

Last week during those bright
sunshiny days, Rev. M. E. Mill
er broke up his garden spot part
of which is located on the lot oc-
cupied by the Press" the year
after the fire. While digging and
laying off he found a silver
coin which the owner may have
by describing and identifying.
Its denomination was such that
it will buy several packages of
garden-seed for the Reverend
gentleman if not called for.

| heard a story at dinner this
evening abou: an old colored man
who occasionally acted as pur.
veyor OF food for a gentleman
who liked to live pretty well.
Wild turkeys were plenty and
had been served rather often on
his table. SO he asked Sam il
he could get him a nice fat
domestic turkey for the follow
ing Sunday. Yes sir, course
can, replied Sam ! know just
where to get it. The turkey
was duly delivered, dressed and
drawn nicely and came to the
table a nice delicious plump look
ing brown bird. In carving it,
several shot were found in the
breast and the inf erence drawn
was that Sam had palmed a wild
turkey off for tame one.
The next day Sam was called
down by the angry epicure who
said, you rascal, you brought
me a wild turkey, know for

Sam, you is entirely wrong that
was surely a tame turkey and

ssAbSolutely False"

in reply to The Dispatch's defense
of the county board Of commissioners
in the selection of Still Water over
-Amick's Ferry for the erection OF a
steel bridge across the Saluda river
the Leesville News, in recent lssue'
made the assertion that the bridge can
be ssbuilt at Amick's for seven thou'-
and dollars less than at Still Water"
In the same editorial The News asked
q number of questions, still clinglng
TO the idea tt at the transaction was
fraud. ard insinuating that the court
mouse ring'' was responsible for the
boards decision. In letter to Inc
Dispatch, Mr.. G. W. Curry whose
plans were selected by the county
hoard and who made survey OF the
two sites, states that the insinuatlon
of The News that he was guided by
q court house ring" is absolutely
false and without foundation. The
following letter was addressed to Mr..
cnrry soon after the controversy be-
san Our letter to him and his reply
thereto are both given below:
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1911-11-22

require five to six feet to get good
solid rock foundation at Amick's. At
Sill Water my sounding showed that
it will require six to seven feet to get
q good solid rock foundation for piers.
As to the depth OF the water: there is
very little difference for an average
depth at either place.
"In reference to the statement that
the bridge can be built at Amick's
Ferry for $1,000 less than at Still Wa
ter, I will say that is utterly out of the
question.
"As 1 have-buils four bridges over
the Saluda River between Still Water
ferry and Chappell's, S. c., will say
that the Still Water ferry is the mos
feasible place that I have ever found
to build bridge at reasonable cost.
~ trust that my explanation to the
various questions set out in the clip
pings and in your letter, is plain to
you, as have nothing to keep secret
in regards to the transaction.
Respectfully yours,
&C. W. Curry"
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1911-11-22

In the face of the facts set out in
the above correspondence, it seems to
US that it is now up to our contempor-
ary to put up or shut up. Mr.. Curry
is reliable man 50 far as we know;
and as the estimates of the other
bridge representatives corresponded
almost with his, some credence should
be gwen to what he has to say. For
our contemporaries benefit, however,
we will say that two Of the engineers
who surveyed both sites are graduates
of Clemson College and rank high in
their profession.
Again, The News wants to know
sWho has refused to give the right of
wav at Amick's?'. Mr.. Derrick (the
writer does not know his given name)
appeared before the board on the day
that the bids were opened protesting
against the road going through his
premises, declaring that he would new
er submit. We do not think that Mr..
Derrick will deny this. We admit
that our means are very limited dur
ing these days of low price cotton,
and we are not, therefore, inclined to
boast of our great wealth, but we will
give one thousand dollars 10 any char
table institution in our county, pro-
yided The News will make good its
guarantee to build the bridge at
Amick's Ferry for seven thousand dol
lars less than at Still Water. 1t is easy
to- make wild assertions, but deliver
ing the goods is another proposition.
Oar contemporary seems to be an art
ist at tue former. However it is dol
lars to doughnuts that the bridge will
be built at Still Water at cost of sew
eral Thousand dollars less to the peo-
pie of the county, or it will not be
built at all.
If standing up for what we believe
to be right; if fighting for the general
taxpayers Of Lexington county and
working for the bettermsut Of ell our
people makes us . member Of the
s'court house ring" we are glad to be

with the moral and physical courage
to do our duty; and, whenever that

the gauntlet.
