ELECTRIC POWER IN THE SOUTH
Cincinnati Enquirer

No portion of our country is making
swifter or greater strides in develop
ing power of rivers and Transforming
that into power of electricity than
some states of the South. Tennessee,
the Carolinas, Alabama, Georgia and
others are rapidly justifying the most
hopeful predictions of former years.
The abundant waters emerging from
unfailing springs of mountains and
foothills are being harnessed, while
yet swift in their dashing brightness
to furnish horsepower by the millions.
While in the cities and other commun-
tiles of the lower lands of several
states tell of the consumption of the
Goals of Virginia and other states in
the production of steam for the turning
of the wheels, there are already great
plants and others are being erected to
produce from the rushing waters 81
numerous rivers the cleaner power d
electricity to be used in great factor
les at the dams and those at dist
ance, fed through the wires.
One of the greatest enterprises iA
our country for developing electric
power from waterpower if, indeed, it
is not to be the very greatest of all
thus far, next to Niagara, has been
commenced on the Yadkin River, at
Whitney, N. c. This historic river
narrows at this point from 1S00feet to
60 feet, here its deep torrent PUSHES
through a gorge. Here it is to be har-
messed for production of at least 150,-
900 horsepower. The cement alone for
the dams and other features of this
plant will cost over, $1,000,000, being
one of the largest orders following
those for the New York tunnels. The
powerhouse will be about 900 feet by
100 feet The greatest portion of the
power will run vast aluminium plant
which will occupy IS acres in the i'm
mediate vicinity, to be financed and
operated by French company with d
capital of $10,O00,O0O. There will be a
surplus of power to drive shops at q
distance.

OLD.TIME BASEBALL GAMES

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
1t is a far cry from 1868 to 1913, yet
just As years ago today the EXcelsorc,
local baseball club, played the pro-
fesional Athletics of Philadelphia a
game on the grounds at Jones Square,
and defeated the visitors by score
of 26 to 20. The game caused much
excitement in Rochester, and large
crowd was in attendance.
In those early days of the national
game in Rochester very little space
was usually given to reports of con
tests in the daily press. But on the
occasion of the visit of the Athletics
It was different. Nearly two columns
of space was occupied in The Demo-
crat on the morning following, and,
and detailed report of the game by in
nings was given. 1t is almost needless
to say that the report of that early
and really sensational game lacked
some OF the ornate expressions AMI
description which embelishes hte base.
ball literature of the second decade o.
the twentieth century.
The interest in the Excelsior Athletic
game was fully warranted. The visit
ors were homeward bound after a tour
of the West, in which they had scored
Is successive victories. 1t was learned
from summary of these games that
tour was 81 to Is at Rockport, Ia, ami
the lowest, % to 1S, was made in a
kane with the Buckeyes, in Cincinnati.
But the Phillies fell before the PROV
ess of the semi-professionaf Rochester
players, suffering the first defeat Of
the trip.
Yet the Athletics were no mean play
ers, comparatively speaking, for there
are few modern baseball teams that
can boast of winning 16 games in sue
cession on the road, or of putting
across" "a runs in nine innings.

FRUIT GROWING IN SUMTER

With the cutting down Of so large d
number of trees in the peach orchards
here recently Sumter county's main
stay in the fruit line this year is the
large and excellent watermelon crop
grown. This crop in Sumter this year
Sc ems to be an unusually good one
when weather conditions are consid-
cred.
Though the amount of fruit grown
here now is less than several years
ago, it seems impossible for Sumter
county to lose its reputation as !
large and successful fruit-growing
county. Only the most unfavorable
conditions in the fruit market would
cause this. The lands of the county
are so well adapted for the growing of
any fruit that can be grown profitably
in this section of the state that Sum-
ter county will undoubtedly hold its
own as a fruit-growing county
significant phase of recent time in
this county however, is the fact thai
so large a number of the trees in the
county have been cut down in order to
allow the land to be given over to the
cultivation of cotton, corn and other
similar crops. Economic conditions
are after all the most powerful in de-
termining such matters. 1t may be
that Sumter county land owners will
more and more prefer to abandon fruit
culture and go back to the growing Of
cotton and corn. Though it is also
possible that there may come re-
birth of interest in fruit growing here
that will again give this section some
large orchards. The latter condition,
however seems the less likely to exist,
lit would seem.

ROOSEVELT'S NATIONALIST
(Richmond Virginian.)

Col. Roosevelt is an opportunist. As
self-appointed surgeon for the malad-
les of society and the country he IS
a reckless operator. AS we'll as can
be understood from the reports of his
address at Newport on Wednesday, he
proposes to heal the differences be-
tween capital and labor by cutting out
the vitals of our system of government
and abolishing the rights and authority
of the states. He would cure capital
ism by substituting nationalism. He
would prevent tyranny of employers
on one side and labor unions on the
other by establishing at Washington d
central tyranny, or absolute, direct
power which inevitably would become
tyranny unless some sudden and mar
velous change came over human ma
ture.
| State governments and courts of all
grades always have bothered the col
onel. They have thrust themselves
persistently in the way of his plans,
schemes, notions and methods of refor-
nation. His ideal is a benevolent des-
potism with direct power on all the
internal, intimate and personal affairs
of the people and regulations of all
their relations with each other.
The American people, however, per
sist in their instructive belief that the,
would rather fight out their troubles
among themselves at almost any cost
of suffering or deprivation than accept
despotism which might work pleas
antly and happily under the guidance
of the colonel, but which might moi
continue to be benevolent History
tells us that few despotisms have had
that agreeable habit and that their ten
denotes have been in the other direc-
ton We prefer risking ourselves and
our own capacity for adjusting our
troubles to putting ourselves and our
welfare, lives and hopes unreservedly
in the hands of the colonel. That is
our Fourth of July feeling, anyhow.

Let us have something snappy and
conclusive, even though the facts tura
out the other way. It's much better to
be entertaining than to be too instruc-
tive; and if little instructive matter

PEARL OYSTERS IN JAPAN
Extensive Beds Under Culture in
0mura Bay

Mr.. Y. Ogita, manager of the Nag
asaki branch of the Mitsul Bussan
Kasha, states that his company has
recently acquired extensive Interests
in culture pearl oyster beds at Omura
a city some miles north of Nagasah on
Omura Bay. These beds contain ap-
proximately 20O,0O0,000 pearl oysters
already planted and it is expected that
at least / in every 10 will yield pearl
of commercial value. The mother-of-
pearl will be used in the manufacture
of buttons.
! There is now one small button fac
tory employing about 80 women at ON
IRA. but most of the oyster shells from
Omura are shipped to Osaka, where
/ trey are made into buttons for the
Chinese market. The Mitsui company
is planning to establish large button
factory at Omura. The manufacture
of buttons at that place will save q
great deal of expense in handling and
packing the shells and buttons and IN
freight charges and Omura buttons
will thus be able to compete most
favorably in the Chinese market with
the Osaka product. The buttons now
made in the factory at Omura are in
ferior in quality to the Osaka product
and are made by hand. With the es-
tablishment of the factory by the Mi
sui company hand labor will in large
part, be done away with, and the quail
itv of the buttons produced will prob
ably improve.
1t is expected that within five, years
large business will be built up at
Omura. New oysters are being plant
ed as the matured shells are removed,
as a constant supply of shell is looked
upon as necessary for the successful
outcome of the venture.
Mr. Ogita also states that certain
Mr.. Nishikawa has invented process
for producing perfect round culture
pearls. Many of the 2OO,OOO,0O0 shells
now controlled by the Mitsui COMPANY
are impregnated according to M
Nishkawas specifications, and after
; seven years (the time it takes peal
/, to mature) it is hoped that a large
, supply of perfect pearls will be OBJ
tanned
Omura Bay is particularly suited T.
the culture of pearl oysters. The bot
, tom of the bay is rocky and the water
remarkably clean and clear. The oys-
f ters are gathered by means of hooks
, divers not being employed. There are
} several other large beds of culture
pearl oysters in Omura Bay not as yet
} owned by the Mitsui company, notably
the five acre bed belonging to Nj
. Toraichiro Yokoyama, NJ. P. The Local
, press of April 90 reported the proposed
, formation of a $15O,000 joint-stocR
: company to exploit this bed-evidently
the result of the entrance into the
field of the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha.
