As the president Of Erskine fourteen
years be maintained the standards OF
high thinking and sound scholarship
for which that "small, college" has
been justly famed for. nearly q CEN
tury. He was a preacher Of no COM
monplace attainments, deeply versed
in the Scriptures, vigorous of mind,
a believer In training, firm and clear
in his faith With no thought of self
in his striving for the Kingdom Of
God. He had not many mouths ago
come to Columbia to begin a pastoral
work that promised to be greatly
fruitful in the improvement Of the
whole community. Taken at a time
when many years Of exertion and
achievement were seemingly before
him, his life was full Of usefulness
and goodness and long enough for
his contribution to the bet:cr!ng of
mankind to be noteworthy a id per-

SHOALS AT CALHOUN FALLS

that the Greenwood chamber OF com.
merce is trying to interest Henry
Ford in the shoals on Savannah river
near: Calhoun Falls The announce.
ment is made that secretary of the
chamber has written Mr. Ford calling
his attention to these falls accompaui.
ed by the statement that as much
power could be developed there as at
Muscle Shoals, and expressing the
hope that he would look into the
matter, pledging him all the cooper.
alton possible, in the event that the
proposition appealed to him.
The statement is made that &C.
cording to engineers who have look.
ed over the situation, the posslbli,
ties are immense, that there are
seventy-fve feet falls on that part OF
the river between Abbeville county
in South Carolina and Gilbert county
in. Georgia with shoals that III for
miles up the river, bordered by high
hills on either side which make 1t
possible to build dams with compare
tive ease that would turn the river in
to a great lake, and in this way bring
into use immense power which is 60
ing to waste and which only needs to
be developed.
We are glad that Greenwood has
called Mr. Ford's attention to this
matter, and we are sure that not on
ly are Ahbeville and Anderson ready
to do their parts toward interesting
Mr. Ford, but that calls for the CO.
operation Of the whole state, as there
is no estimating the benefits to South
Carolina that would be derived from
the development Of these shoals. But
why stop with Henry Ford? If he
cannot be interested, then efforts
should be made in other directions,
and continued until some definite &C.
ton is taken. The indications, at
present, seem to be favorable for
Mr. Ford to secure the lease Of Muscle
Shoals, but this may encourage
rather than cause him not to consid.
er this proposition, as he is a man OF
unlimited vison who is constantly on
the lookout for big things.
This matter appeals especially to
our agricultural interests as we un'
derstand that the primary purpose II
the development of places of thi:
kind, by Henry Ford is for the es
! Enlistment of nitrate plants. But i
does not end here. The benefits tx
be derived from them according II
interviews given out by Ford him
self are almost beyond c]omprehen
sion. He states that the development
of the Muscle Shoals, should he sue
coed in securing the lease, would re
salt in the building up Of communi
ties all around which would be won
derful acquisition to that part o
the country, and that electricity TO
all kinds Of power, and for lightin,
and heating purposes would be avail
able, and that it would be largel,
used. OF course, the development o
the shoals at Calhoun Falls would b.
followed by similar results.
Anderson people have been inter
ested in Calhoun Falls for a humble
Of years, and for this as we'll as TO
: the reasons stated above, We ar
sure that this announcement will az
peal very strongdy to them.-And

Regarding the coal strike the re-

tors whereby the average price OF
spot coal for the entire period OF
the strike war held st s3.70 per
