NEWS AND HE~RALD WINNSBORO, S. C. J. FRANK-FCOSHE ( Editor and Proprietor. PUBLISHED WEEKLY ~........ one Year,............-- . 'Wednesday, October 24, 1906. Keeping the acreage down is the surest way of keeping the price up. This is the time for beginning the regulatin of the price of cot ton for the crop of 1907 by sow ing more grain and making longer preparations for raising all Food supplies at home. The election of Mr. Toole as Aiken's representation in the senate to succeed :he late Sena tor Johnson adds one more to% the nainder of senators who will be opposed to the continuance ofu the State dispensary. The dis 1peosary is doomed. Even the :senate isnow against it. A Day at Ureat Falls (Continued from page one.) from those ordinarily u s e d hereabouts in that they are so much larger and have a track on which the crane can be turned from the engine. These stones weigh from one to four toas. the smaller stones all being crushed for the concrete work, and are obtained from the island of rock provided by nature or from the excavations in the canal. Here it may be noted that the work of excavating this canal is fraught with many more obstacls than were first anticipated. T h e contracting company undertaking this work has already thrown up the sponge, though the contract price for the same was about $100,000. These immense stones are, held in place by tons and tons of concrete mixture, consisting of one part of cement, three of sand and six of small stone. There ingredients are hauled in little cars, that readily dump their - whole load into the shute below, which is divided into manp apartments or lines. - Tnder neath are carts on tracks which are filled by pulling back a little docr and which hold just exactly two tons of this mixture. The cart is then rolled by two men to the concrete mixer, from which the -mixture is dumped into a large metallic bucket holding just two tons. As an idea of the rapidity with which this part, of the work is done less than three minutes is required for getting . these two tons of the best con crete mixture for~m its place in the bins in the sbute to the tor of the dam, where it is to be used. Only about five or six men. are required in the whole operation. Up to date 3000 carloads o: cement have bee3n used. These cars would fill a track from the Falls to Winnsb:>ro and a con siderable distanc e beyond. The sacks that have b en emnptied fill three cars irc m bottom to top. All this great work moves or like a clock. The necessary and most approved appliances a n d expert supervision are -the secret. Though there are several com panies engaged in different parts of this construction and eacb with its own machinery there is not the slightest friction. One can not but be impressed with this fact and the further fact that there is no loud talking on the part of the superintendents or the workmen. There is not half the noise here thb.t is often heard ini some cotton patch with only five or six men picking. Everybody is at work, doing what they are well paid for. It is a lesson in self control and the control of others to see how these hundreds of laborers are managed s o efficiently. But the Falls is too big a subject for one time. The im mensity of this stupendous ur der taking of bringing all this power into use far and near can not be appreciated without seeing the Works themselves. It is well worth the day or more it may take one to get a bird's eye view of what is going on here. The litge has rot been seen in these parts be fore. A feature that added no lttle to our enjoyment of this dlay at the Falls was that we, (this is more than the editorial we) had as our companions Mr. and Mrs. H. 0. Graf ton at whose delightful home six miles away we had spent the night before. They are indeed charming hosta.
