Mississippi River Great Problem.

The Herculean task of widening,
deepening or Strengthening the Missis-
sippi river will probably be undertaken
by the national government soon af-
ter the great Panama canal is compile
ted. The overfowing of the Mississip-
pi becomes more and more frequen
and more destructive of life and prop
erty. The channel is steadily filling
with mud and sediment which renders
the levees less effective in times of
heavy rainfall in the section drained
by the Mississippi and it's tributaries.
Several plans have been suggested for
preventing the frequent overfows but
none of them seem to provide complete
or permanent relief. Some engineers
have suggested that the channel be
Strengthened, as the distance from st.
Paul to the Gulf along comparative
ly straight line is justhalf the actual
length of the river itself. Were the chan
mel Strengthened the water would pass
down more quickly and with less OBJ
struction.
AS the Father of Waters becomes
more and more menace to the entire
Mississippi valley something will soon
have to be done by the government to
relieve the situation. The fertile brains
of the government engineers will yet
devise some reasonably satisfactory
way of eliminating the steadily increas-
ing danger.

Something Wrong Yet.
loss

The announcement that the Standard
Oil Com pany has accumulated earnings
to the amount of S60,000,0G0 that will
be paid out to the stockholders on June
13, should be sufficient information to
C ause the legal department of the gov
e eminent to again look into the affairs
of the colossal corporation. By an or
der of the court the Standard Oil Com
pany was dissolved year or more ago.
But was the trust dissolved in fact or
was its action merely ostensible or a
pretense? For some time there has
been steady advance in gasoline and
possibly in other petroleum products
that are sold by this company, and the
fact that 400 per cent. dividend has
been made causes one to suspect that
the law regulating trusts is yet being
violated by the holders of Standard
Oil stock. The government sleuths
should be instructed to look we'll to the
affairs of the Standard Oil Company.

Loss Greater Than Gain.

When the constituted authority of a
city fails to enforce law then the gov
ernor should assert himself. South
Carolina needs a governor who will
close up the blind tigers in Charleston
and Georgia needs .overnor who will
close the "near beer" saloons, or rath-
er open barrooms, in Augusta and
Savannah. The fragrant manner in
W which the law is violated in Augusta is
a serious reflection upon the city
across the Savannah. The city au-
thorities virtually license open bar
rooms in defiance of the laws of the
state. 1t may seem to pay by putting
many thousands of dollars in the city
treasury but the legal sanction of law
lessness deadens the public conscience
and causes a disrespect for law and
order that far outweighs the seeming
advantage gained by the ''hush mon.
ey" received from the barkeepers.

Should Attend Summer School.

Some teachers in the county are
preparing to attend the summer school
at Winthrop college. There should be
fully score or more from Edgefeld.
The truth of the matter is, the teacher
who has no desire for equipping him
self or herself for better work and
W no will not use every means at hand
to that end deserves only meagre
salary, the kind that the weak schools
are forced to pay because of limited
funds. A young lady or young man
should not ask or expect large salary
unless they are capable of giving the
patrons of the school full value for
their money. Trustees and patrons
are on the alert for competent teach
ers but they are unwilling to pay for
something they DO not, get.

Company Will Yet Yield.

The Pullman Co. is apowerful corpor-
alton but not so powerful as public
sentiment. Our prediction is that
whether the company can be forced or
not by law to provide separate coaches
for the races, the Pullman people will
ultimately yield. When an agitation
of this kind once begins it gathers mo-
mentum as it progresses and is only
a matter of time before the opposing
forces yield. Gibraltar itself is not
more irresistible than wholesome, in
telligent, well-directed public senti-
ment. There will not be many more
repetitions of such scenes as Hon. John
G. Richards witnessed recently on a
train in South Carolina.

State Suffers Great Loss.

Tomorrow DR.. S. C. Mitchell will
leave South Carolina to take up his
new duties in Richmond as president of
the Virginia Medical college. For four
wears or more DR.. Mitchell has given
unselfshly of his time, talent and eff
forts to the upbuilding of the Universi-
ty and to the development of South
Carolina along all lines. Through his eff
fo rts the University and the people
have been brought into closer and
more sympathetic touch than over be-
fore in the history of the institution.
Unlike many educators and men of his
calibre, DR.. Mitchell has not confined
his labors to the cities and towns. On
the contrary, he frequently accepted
invitations to address meetings in re-
mote country districts, where he in
spired the people in manner and to
d egree that will be felt after the pres.
ent generation has passed from the
scene. He has cheerfully gone wher'
ever duty called, and it was this will
lingness and readiness to serve Others
that so quickly won for him the conf
dence and high regard of the people
among whom he labored.
Other presidents of the University
may come and 90 but, mark our pre-
diction, not one will fill so large place
of usefulness in South Carolina as DR.
NJ ltchell has filled. When he leave
the borders of the state tomorrow t,
la Dor elsewhere, South Carolina will
suffer an inestimable and irretrievabl
loss.

Blind Tigers in the Saddle.

It appears that the 200 and more
blind tigers are about to close up the
dispensaries in Charleston. According
to the report of the dispensary anditor,
the sales of the Charleston dispensa-
ries have been reduced about S25, 900
dollars during the past quarter by the
activities of the tigers. Furthermore,
in order to enable the dispensaries and
local brewers to compete with whole
sale blind tigers, representatives Of
out-of- the-state brewers, the dispensa-
ry auditor has ordered reduction of
royalty on beer from as to Is cents on
each case. 1t appears that as between
the tigers and the dispensaries the for
m. will prevail. The only time when
the lawbreakers are called to account
is when they violate the Sunday clos
ing ordinance. If they close by 1l:59
Saturday nights the tigers are not
molested, but if they remain open af-
ter midnight they are ordered to ap-
pear in the mayors court. Even when
arrests are made small cash bonds are
forfeited and that ends the matter un-
til another offense is committed. 1t
NAV be said that the blind tigers rule
Charleston. They are enabled to do
so by being sort of balance of power
in municipal politics. 1t appears that
no mayor has ever had The moral cour-
age to clean out the good old city, sac
riicing himself politically if need be.

Men of Courage Needed.

One great need of this day and gen.
Grafton is men of courage, men who
are willing to stand or fall alone, not
waiting to see what others are going
to say or do in a certain exigency. In
recent issue of the Walterboro Press
q nd Standard this statement was made
in discussing the whiskey situation in
Co lleton county: "a rumor is going
the rounds in the streets that promi-
nent attorney has said that he would
agree to refuse to take blind tiger cases,
if the other attorneys at this bar would
do likewise. F."
1t seems that this particular member
of the Walterboro bar had good i'm
pulse, his conscience giving direction to
what course he should pursue, but he
was lacking the courage to act upon it.
Why did he not say: "Let other law
yers do as their sense of duty and their
conception of professional propriety di-
rects, but as for me will not defend
men who bear the ear-marks of blind
tiger" Such stand as that would
have a wholesome effect upon the bar
and upon the community.
The Advertiser is pleased to state
that there are members of the Edge
field bar who will not for stipulated
sum undertake the defense of men
who are known to sell whiskey in de-
fl ance of law and to the demoraliza-
ton of the community. Furthermore,
these attorneys do not hesitate to take
such stand openly. Walterboro needs
few lawyers of this type.

general disorganization as the result

to do away with this possibility
