WASTED?PROTECTION
Is it possible that the water pres
sure at ffroa Is always weak until j
after the fire hus done its worst, of
do we only hear of thecases where
this happens?
At any rate, the complaints are
of too frequent occurrence not to be
taken note of. The home that wus
burned yesterday might not ave been
Haved, but some of the valuable con
tents DiiKht have been. N'earbv
homes were endangered, and it is re
ported to this paper that the pressure
wus so weak that the firemen caught
the water in buckets from the noz
zle anl poured it on the fire.
The standplpe was full and there
was u pressure of 50 pounds ut the
foot of the standplpe. But the pres
sure is weakened a great deal be
cause of the, small bore of the mains
and because of the friction over the
long distance travelled by the water
through the small mains. Therefore,
in districts remote from the stand
pipe, It is necessary to back the natu
ral pressure with a force pump at
the sub-station of the power com
pany.
In order to notify the people at the
sub-station it is necessary to call
them on the 'phone, especially on
such a night as that, when the noise
of the pounding sieet drowned the
clang of the fire bell. The 'phone was
uot in working, order Thursday night,
and the people, at the sub-station, op
duty at the time, heard no call. Fi
nally one of them had his curiosity
aroused by a peculiar clicking noise
the 'phone and upon Investigation
lOiind that Chief .?aekson was trying
to 'phone him: "'it wus the work of
but a moment to turn on,the pumps
and thenc there' was adequate pres
sure.
There Is too frequently something
the matter, although there is always
some reason, advanced which makes
It appear that the company Is not 1
ways to blame. As to that we do not
knar.-, but W? do insist that the com
pany put lc a" call bell that may he
rung from the headquarter* of the
flredepartmen> ^snd as soon as the
alarm ia given'the fireman who rings
the neu at the city hall may at the
same time notify the men on duty at
the pumpln^ifcatlon. This plan we
suggest not,t? take the place of the'
one now In, use, but to supplement
it, so that th? power house may be
notified by the representatives of the
city und or the company.
We suggest this' as al tempor?r*
plan, tb Tog.followed as soon as pr?c-,
tlir.Vio ?y, ai lire' afariu, system of the

1 I Fortunately ' eonie . of the trouble
will be a?opiat?ca}ly. removed when
'the comapnV. gets its new six inch
mains put down, for'these will aug
ment the supply and will increase
the pressure' in outlying sections of
the city about three times. The ma
terial for this, has been ordered. Let
the work be i,speeded, and let every

We call attention to the bill In the
legislature t?/.'protect the forests of
the State. It appears to us to be a
wise measure. Mr. J. E. Wannamak
er'a comments upon It are illuminat
ing. 4?.
Measures of thla, kind have! been
adopted- by practically all the' North

those of he Pacific tfbrthwest., Of the
Southern States, however, only Mary*
land and Kentucky bave yet taken'
such action. South 01101108?' region

to the practice of forestry than those

If enacted late a law it will start

to fulfill the requirements r .he so
called Weeks Law as rega co-op

the Federal Government is co-operat
ing with 17 States, find expending an
nually about $100.000. The govern
ment desires to extend co-operation
of this kind to South Carolina, and
will allot a lib?ral fund for the pur
pose depending, upon the sise of the
State's own appropriation.
South Carolina should take imme

this co-operative fire protection. It
is a necessary'^erunner of wise de

Special Correspondence.
Greenwood, Feb. 13.?The State Con

will be held In Greenwood March 24-26
next. The program i<J now hein? pre

we are informed by tne chairman that
many matters of vital interest to all
Student? of social and philanthropic
problems will be considered. Tho exe
cutive committee is composed of the
following officers: The Rev. A. T.
Jamison, Greenwood, ehalrmnn; Prof..

Wharlon, Columbia, treasurer. Any
person interested in the purposes for
which the conference stands may be
come a member by payment to the
treasurer of a fee of one dollar.
As is well known this is what may
be called a pay-as-you-go-convention;
and it has never been entertained by
a city in which its sessions have been
held. Greenwood wishes, however, to
break this record, and has decided to
invite the members to accept the hos
pitality of Greenwood homes. At a
recent meeting of the Associated Char
ities Society this invitation was ex
tended; and Mrs. Annie C. Durst, tue
president, has uccepted a committee
on hospitality. All persons who send
their names to Mr. S. C. Hodges will
(be looked after by the committee of
which he is chairman.
The conference will have as Its
guest of honor Dr, J. B. McCullock of
Nashville, the secretary of the South

To Consider Testimony.
. By their questions and remarks to
witnesses, members of the commit

problems was to connect up a group
of so-called dependent States, with a
group of States so independent as to
make this entire region independent

committee made It clear, however,
that no decision of any sort, either
as to cities or districts, would be

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
URGES THAT THE ENTIRE S T?TE BE ORGANIZED IN THE
FORWARD WORK OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
In the annual address of the presi
dent of the Sunday school convention,
Rev. Walter I. Herbert of Sumter dis
cussed "What the organized SunHny
uOOl movement means for South
Carolina."
The organized Sunday School
Movement In Sumter with this session
of the Soutu Carolina interdenomina
ional convention, ncaring the close of
the fourth decade of usefulness in our
state.
In the United States the organized
for mo fthl grea t movement reaches
far back .nto the first half of the 19th
century. The records say that in the
pring of 1832 (May 23) there was a
meeting of the friends of Sunday
schools i nthe city of Philadelphia on
the occasion of the anniversary of the
mcricnu Sunday School Union and
also of the meeting of the General As
sembly of the Presbyterian church.
Fifteen states were represented) in
this gathering. They decided to call
national convention for the fail of
that same year. Accordingly in the
city of New York, on October 3, 1832,
the first National Interdenominational
Sunday School Convention met in
Chaltham street chan?i nd was or
ganized by the election of Hon. Theo
dore Frollnghuysen of New Jersey, as
president; William A. Tomlinson and
vicn. Williams, vice presidents; Dr. D.
M. Reece and J. B. Rrlnsmade, secre
taries; "about 220 delegates were en
rolled, representing fifteen states,
more than one-half of the then Union.".
At irregular Intervals but. witbttf-'
reasing Interest and enlarged atten
dance; five national conventions were
held. ' There were in all .338 delegates
representing 22 states and one ,terry-'
tory of the Union in, attendance .upon
tliel flft,h national convention whie.i
was held; April 1G-19. 1872. In Indian-.

presiding.
It was at this convention that the
system of uniform lessons was inau
gurated under the leadership of that
prince of Sunday school men, Mr. B. F.
Jacobs of Chicago. In regard to their
discussion of this great uestiOn and Its
effect upon the assemblage, the Sun
day School Times editorially says:
The interest of the convention cul
minated as was expected, In the uni

is possible not only to get one denom

and heart to heart; organized not into.j
a non-denominational association, but
an inter-denominatlon'al association.
This is one of the beat features of the j
organization?that it attracts'all. to
gether to study the best methods of
accomplishing one great result?the
evangelization of the souls of man
kind. The past has seen too often
"battle royal" between contending de
nominations. We have reached the
time, thank God, when we wish to or

However, the .question now claiming

of <pur state his taken in the bu'lding
up Of this organized Sunday "school
work, as It is what does tris Organisa
tion mean for our'beloved state.
Dr. H. M. IH?CUIii, woo was for a
number of years ''international Field

in 1899, "There are tar?e words that

- organization, irtycation, cvangelir.a
tkn. The first lo th? iustvutnent; the
second the skill'behind tie instru
ment; the third the purpose of the,'

each o fthese words. In each c em
Is a great volume of meaning which if
we are able, by the help of God, to
get out "Our sods and our daughters
Bhall prophesy, our young men shall
see visions and' ear old men shall
dream dreams, upon our servants and
handmaids sball the spirit of the Lord
be proved out a*d they shall prophe
sy." See Acts S.17-18- Our people
have not given; nor,are they now giv

companion is a third as massive as
Sirius, yet Sirius gives out 12,000 times
as much light, which shows {hat this
companion must be a dark star. Per

we do not know about This dark

bright, It would require 10,000.000.000
