WASHING AWAY THE LAND.
Erosion Of the Drainage Basins OF the
United States.

Investigations by the United States
geological survey of the erosion OF
numerous drainage basins Of the Unit
ed States show that the surface Of the
country is being removed at the aver
age rate of about an inch in 7GO years.
Though this amount seems trivial
when spread over the surface of the
country, it becomes stupendous when
considered as n total or even in sep
arate drainage basins. The Mississip'
pi river for instance, carries annually
TO the sea 1856, 100000 tons OF dissolved
matter and 34O,5000O0 tons of suS.
pended matter, and Of this total the
Ohio river carries S3,350000 tons and
the Missouri river contributes more
than twice as much. The Colorado
river, which has built up for itself Il
vast delta. brings down more suspend
ed matter than any other river in the
United States. delivering annually 3SI
tons for each square mile Of its drain

900 tons of suspended matter. This
total Of 7S3.0OO.OO0 tons represents
more than 35OOO0,OO0 cubic yards OF
rock or G1O,OOO,0O0 cubic yards of sur
face soil. If this erosive action had
been concentrated on the isthmus OF
Panama at the time of American oc
cupation it would have excavated the
prism for an eighty-ive foot level ca

that Mr. Riegel told him (Taylor)
that some of the employees of the
mill had informed the manage
ment that if they were not given
holiday on May Is to hear Gov
ernor Blease speak they would
not report for work on that day.
As a news item Mr. Taylor passed
this on to the News and Courier's
correspondent.
To further complicate the mat
ter, The State prints a telegram
from James T MscEnroe, the as
sistant treasurer of Ware Shoals
mills, re-iterating and emphatically
re-affrming his previous state
ment that the holiday was given
voluntarily by the mills, without
solicitation on the part of anyone,
and that no reference was made
to the picnic or to the Governors
speaking.
It is very evident that either
Mr. Riegel's statement to Mr. Tay-
lor, or Mr. Taylor's statement to
the News and Courier's CORE
spondent, or Mr. MacEnroe's dis
claimer printed in both the News
and Courier and The State, is
untruthful. Who is responsible
for the incorrect statement that
brought about the controversy,
we neither know nor is it particu-
larly our concern.
What is more important to US,
and the main object of this article,
is to correct the unjust suspicion at
tached to Governor Blease's office IN
implying that the false data-if it
be false-originated there. Frank
ly, we thought it extremely likely
that the suspicion was well-founded,
but in the light of the evidence SUBJ
sequently adduced it seems that in
this instance the suspicion was un-
Just land we cheerfully make amends
for falling into the error.

the Governors office that has ap-
peared in print since his Inaugural
ton could be as satisfactorily clear

KINGSTREE-THE GATEWAY
TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY, JUNE I. 1911.
An Unjust Suspicion.

AS stated frequently before in
this column, while we do not
entirety endorse Governor Blease's
ideas of craftsmanship or his political
standards, at the same time We
desire to treat him with absolute
fairness and out of respect for the
high office he holds, to 60 even
\ beyond the requirements OF strict
justice in casting the best light
possible upon his official actions
and utterances.
We reproduced last week an
editorial article from the Colum-
bia State concerning the Ware
Shoals incident-a news story pub
li5hed recently in the Charleston
News and Courier to the effect
that the cotton mill employees
at Ware Shoals had demanded a
holiday from the management on
MAY 18 in order to hear Gov
ernor Blease speak. Commenting
on this news item The State
published a letter from the as
sistant treasurer of the Ware Shoals
mills stating in substance that the
report that their operatives had
demanded holiday on May IS to
hear Governor Blease speak, or
for any other purpose, was in
correct; that :he managers had,
ever since May l, posted notice at
the mills giving holiday on May
18, without any solicitation ON
the part of the employees. From
this letter The State newspaper
rather broadly limited that the
data upon which this misleading
article was based emanated from
the Governors office--which was
really not far-fetched conclus-
ion.
Mondays issue of The State
carries, however, a lengthy article
reviewing the Ware Shoals incl
dent and the aftermath. This
article contains letter from the
News and Courier's Columbia cor
respondent naming as his inform
ant MIR B F Taylor, a well-known,
prominent business man OF Co.
,umbia, who says that he got
the information on the train
from B D Riegel, the president
Of the Ware Shoals mills, who
lives in Jersey City, New Jersey;
