NEW SURVEY TO BE MADE.
Messrs. X. /. Manning and w. r.
Bonsal Go Over Proposed New
ROute.

Mr.. w. X. Bonsal, president Of the
South Carolina Western Railroad was
In the city Friday and with Mr.. K.
l. Manning went over the route pro-
posed by number OF landholders
some distance west Of the line which
was alreday surveyed and accepted
as the route Of the road between
Bishopville and Sumter.
Despite the heavy rain Mr.. Man.
ming and Mr.. Bonsal spent almost
the entire day on their trip and Mr..
Bonsal was so much impressed with
the advantage Of the prop osed route
that he consented TO have a survey
made of it, and it is possible this may
be the route which the road will
finally take. The line is some dis
tance west Of the route already sur
veyed and west Of the Bishopville-
Sumter read. 1t follows practically
the old route which was surveyed
several years ago by MAJ. W. L. Lee.
The old route provided that the road
enter the western part Of the city and
IT Is possible that If the new line pro-
posed is accepted that the road will
come through the western instead of
the eastern part Of town, as the pro-
posed line does now.
The survey win be run in the next
few days and the route to be taken
by he road will be decided upon def
nitely after it is completed. Mr.. Bon
sal was Friday given a profile of the
western route and considered the
line a good one. The proposed route
passed through the Aman and Col
clough places and by Rose Hill.

Anderson, Oct. 29.-The Chinese
revolution Is having serious effect
on the cotton mill industry of the
Southern States. according to James
ID. Hammett. president Of several Of
the largest mills In South Carolina

ers' Association.
In statement issued by Mr.. Ham,
NETT today. he points out that many
mills manufacturQ goods solely for
export To China ana cores of orders
already have been cancelled because
OF the Chinese war. He estimates
that fully thirty mills I'm South Caro-.

nese trade.
Unless a speedy settlement OF the
revolution Is reached" said Mr.. Ham
NETT, serious consequences are fear
ed for both the Southern manufac-
turers. who supply the trade. and the
cotton producers OF the South. This
fall indications were for a large trade
from China. hut an a result Of the

DIR. MrTCHELL'S ADDRESS.
County Teachers Meet but Postpone
Reorganization Until Next Meeting.

The Sumter County Teachers AS
ISOLATION met at noon Saturday in the
Hampton school building and heard a
most enjoyable lecture delivered by
DR.. S. c. Mitchell Of the University
Of South Carolina. AS the day was
80 very bad and there were so few
Of the county teachers present 1t was
deemed best to delay the election
OF officers OF the association for the
coming scholastic year until the
next meetiny. when II was hoped
there would be larger at
tendance Of the county teachers.
The main feature of the meeting
was Or. Mitchell's lecture. DR.. Mitch
ell stated that ne had not had time to
prepare his lecture as he should like
to have done. but he had jotted down
an outline which he would follow in
making his address to the teachers.
His lecture, which was Practical
Program Of Success" was listened to
with attention and much enjoyed by
the teachers and others present.
Dr.. Mitchelrs points on his pro-
gram Of progress in the order that
he took them up were good roads
improved farming. public health and
sanitation. drainage. better schools
public Libraries. more rigid obser-
vance and enforcement OF laws, CO.
operation for community life, great
er independence Of thought and toIer-
alton of opinion and more applied
Christianity in the churches. Each
one or these points was taken up an
enlarged upon. The speaker show
ed where each took it's place in q
program Of progress for the teacher
IN his or ner everyday life. He show
ed the changes which had been
brought about since he was a boy and
how they all tended to bring about
greater progress in the succeeding
generation than in the one preceding
it. He dwelt strongly on the enforce
ment Of laws, saying that more good
would come from the enforcement Of
laws in the next ten years than from
anything else which could be done
for South Carolina. The lynch law
was one Of the greatest menaces Of
the present day.
The lecture lasted nearly an hour.
but was interesting throughout.
Besides Dr. Mitchells S lecture there.
was instrumental music furnished by
Miss Chandler and songs by Miss
Purdy. which added much to make
the program successful.
DR.. Mitchell distributed phamplets
On which were printed a speech
made In the United States senate on
the universal peace tribunal Dr.. =.
ii. Haynsworth also distributed man.
uals for high school work prepared
by Prof w. III. Hand and Of primary
grade work by Pro. w. X Tate.
The chairman stated that owing to
the small attendance Of county
teachers the election Of officers for
the association would be postponed
rNtil the next meeting which would
take place on the first Saturday in
December.

Pinchot Gets After Smith.
Springfield Republican,


The George Otis Smith crisis has not
escaped Mr.. Pinchofs attention. The
former forester of the United States
charges the director of the geological
survey with procrastination fatal to our
White mountain reserve project. UNLESS
Director Smith IS driven from his posi-
ton by public protests or the action of
his superior officers" says Mr.. Pinchot,
"it is extremely doubtful whether any
considerable area of land can be pur.
chased within one or even within two
years. Indeed, ii would be possible to
stretch the kind of examination now be-
gun over the entire period of the life Of
the law. and so defeat it altogether. If
Director Smith for any reason whatever
had deliberately undertaken to nullify
the effect of the Weeks bill his conduct
could not have been better adapted to
that end" We don't mind saying that
Mr.. Pinchot and Director Smith are not
on the friendliest terms. The Ballinger
issue tended to separate them. on this
present issue however. Mr.. Pinchot raises
his voice in defense of great project
conceived in the public interest.

Editor S Letter Box
Inebriety Always Durable.
ATLANTA Constitution.)

(Atlanta Constitution
Addressing the Conference of Chart
ties and Corrections in Boston recent
ly Robert A. Wood, a neurological ex
pert, told the delegates that no case
of inebriety was incurable, and none
so simple as to be safely treated as
negligible.
1t may logically be questioned that
inebriety, like drug addictions, can bd
absolutely sure of cure in most eX
IRENE stages. The average physician
believes that about as much depends
upon years and physical condition as
upon the will to quit.
Given. a very old man, whose vitality
has been Slapped by years and dissi-
patton, il is open to debate how per-
manently or completely he can be re-
claimed. He may be patched up for
awhile, but when he is turned loose,
there is strong probability his frail
vitality and his weakened will power
will drive him again to the old habits.
But regarding the prospects for re-
claiming young or middle-aged in
ebriates, there is no question. 1t sim
ply depends upon the proper treat
| ment, which is about equally COM
pounded of open air, occupation, psy-
| chology and patience. Cities and
states, in increasing numbers, are evil
dencing much intelligence in this di-
| rection, as they are in the scientific
| treatment of criminals.
| Ii pays to be humane to the drunk
| ard, just as it pays to transform the
parasite into the producer. When a
| man becomes an habitual inebriate he
| costs society money in the shape OF
| jails or courts, more money in lower
ed earning capacity and still more in
a family either pauperized or requir-
| ing continual aid from the community
| The day will come and that soon
when the hard drinker will be SEN
| fenced to a farm instead of a prison
or a chain gang. When it does, prac-
teal philanthropy will achieve a new
meaning, society at large will be re
lieved of drains at a very large source
and the sum total of human wretched
| ness will be materially reduced

A New Profession.


Landscape architecture, while very
old art In it's modern developments is
comparatively new. Harvard University
was the first to offer instruction in the
subject, the first to create an endowed
chair, and the first to establish sepa-
rate department of landscape archtec-
ture. The first student was enrolled
little more than a decade ago. Today
the school finds 1t impossible to hold its
men long enough to bestow upon them
its degree of Bachelor of the Science of
Landscape Architecture, so many and
so attractive are the openings which
come to them from all parts of the
United States. The prescribed course
covers four years. Two years ago in
struction in city planning was added to
the subjects taught. Significant. too, Is
the fact that the department can with
hold its degree if the candidate has not
convinced the faculty of his initiative,
self reliance, and ability to deal with an
actual problem in a fundamentally prac-
teal way.
