The Tozaway dam baa received muob attention from various persons, and many newspapers have given expression to tbelr fears, and the remarks of Col. Orr seem to be going tbe rounds of tbe press. Tbe Colonel's statement of facts Is contained In ibese words: "Tne Toxaway aam is a miles in circumference. In many places tbe water la fifty feet deep." He then describesttie fearful loss of property tbat would follow, If thlB water should break tbe dam and get away. Even tbe city of Augusta would be flooded. We admit tbat damage would be done If tbe Toxaway d*m should break. It Is aUo probable tbat damage would be done if tbe State Home In Columbia should collarse. And If tbe Washington monument In tbe city of Washington should topple over It would likely crush any stray Congressman that didn't "stand from under." But right here In Abbeville a very serious terror oonfrontB us, and we need not bother ourselves about Toxaway. Tbe Toxaway dam, and the railroad fill at Abbeville are very muoh alike, In so lar as danger to the elty of Augusta Is concerned. Wo ooald not picture tbe damage tbat might be done by baok water above and flood below tbe fill If tbe opening should be topped In tbe embankment wblob crosses tbe little oreek at Abbeville. Tbe water If so stopped In time oi rain would rain CoBby town, and make unsafe seagolog crafts of the shacks tbat m&tce that classic neighborhood a part of the city. If the rail* road fill should be washed away, General Hemphill's cows that might be browsing on clover would be drowned, and Dr Marshall's oorn patch would be Injured. The fate of bis little pet pecan solons would be too terrible to oontemplate. The cows in Mr. Vlsaaska's pasture would be drowned by baokwatei*, and the cattle belonging to Mr. J. Q. Hamilton, wbloh escaped the reoent railroad smash uo mlnht be washed away, if they didn't sourry Off to higher and dryer land. < And then Mr. Gebrge T. Wilson'* floe corn might be Injured on tbe low lands through which tbla released water woald flow. II would be.well for Mr. Fleming and Mr.Hagan If they would drive up their cattle and lock tbem In tbelr barms tbe next time it rains. Before water could run over our high railroad fill it would bave to rise thirty feet. Just think of water rlalug thirty feet at tbe fill, and Imagine, if yon can, all tbe bouses in Cosby town floating around like ducks on a pond, with piccaninnies crawling 6 out of tbe roofc through tbe oblmney hole#, while all sorts of negroes were paddling around on loose planks. Wouldn't a soene like tbat Jar you? 0 And such a scene is not impossible. Suppose, lor instance, some mischievous boy should put bis bat over tbe bole through which tbe water now passes under the All; or suppose some thoughtless girl should put a pillow and a baby carriage over tbe mouth of tbe bole. When the results were computed J Noah's flood would dwindle Into lnslgnlflcance. And suppose tbat tbe lightning at tbe same time should strike the tank of the oil $ mill and release the imprisoned water. In I that ease, what wonld become of the South- 1 ern depot and Mr. Brown ? We shut our eyes and refuse to view tbe scene. B We are uneasy about the dam at Portman 1 Shoals. It Bhould be strength at once. 0 : 1 c Agalnmt Immigration. Various editors, and possibly others, are seeing spooks in the great influx of lmml- * grants to this country. Nearly a million a came in last year, and now great fear has S been expressed tbat tbey will be of damBge ^ to tbls country. f Until it can be shown that tbe class of lm- v migrants who are coming here today are In - * ferlor, or worse, than the ancestors of those a who are now so alarmed, tbls newspaper shall be glad to welcome Immigrants to our shores, l: Tbe sons and grandsons of immigrants to p this country In lormer years are today proving the worthiness of their ancestors, and we presume that the sons of the Immigrants of today will prove Id after years that they are good and useful Americans. Any effort to make poverty and a lack of r education a crime on the part of Immigrants 1 should not prevail. Because of lack of op- c portunlty and because of ambition to be 1 somebody, these oppressed Immigrants are 1 seeking our shores, where the fight lor the 6 good things of life Is not as uneven as In p their own oountry. With our free schoohl 1 and with the opportunity to work, these lm 1 migrants are a valuable acquisition. a It seems to us rather out of place to hear a 8 grandson of an immigrant inveighing against ? tbe immigrants of today. The probability is, that the Immigrants of today are from as ? ' >* good a class of people as were those from whom sprang tbe crltlqsof tbe immigrants 8 of today. n c li Religions Notes. a A large congregation assembled at tbe d Methodist Church last Banday night to bear J the Rev. W. R. Richardson, D. D. Dr. Rich 1 ardson was onoe pastor of this congregation, 8 whnre he was ereativ beloved for bis kindly heart, his ability and bis christian character. Our people of whatever denomination, were glad to see him back again amongst us. Tbe Presbyterian and Episcopal churches n being closed for tbe evening, the members of e these communions worshipped with the other a congregations. Some went to tbe Metbodlst t church, some to the Baptist church, and some 1 to tbe Associate Reformed church. t Tbe Baptist poople have been conducting p religious services nightly for more than a p week. The attendanoe has been large and tbe interest has been all that could be wished. Last Sunday our people seemed to be inclined to worship, and more of them were at the various churches than usually attend. j When the services are Interesting, when christian fellowship prevails, and when tbe people assemble In their usual plaoes of wor- / ship the whole world seems akin, and when J brotherly feeling exists, It attests the kinship HaH I U1 UUUi ; e Abase of tbe Word "Prominent." 1 Prominent people do everything these days. If a bank Is robbed It is always by ( prominent people. If a couple ofyoung peo- ' pie marry, tbe groom Is prominent. In all these performances It may be truly said that those who take leading parts are 8 prominent actors. For Instance: The man who robs a bank Is prominent In that undertaking, at least; the man at Court charged with murder is a prominent or consplcuons figure; tbe man at a hanging who is found at the business end of a rope Is also prominent. But It is ] hardly necessary to so state. That much j may be taken for granted. It may be assumed that the reader knows a little. 3 ] X-Kay. | Dr. L. T. Hill has made some wonderful i cures with his x-ray machine' Among the 4 cure# was the canoerouB eye of Mr. James Ar- \ nold, of Saluca. Tbe patient thinks he Is j fully cured, and feels very grateful to the doctor. One good thing about the x-ray Is that It does not Injure the Btomach, as does so much of the medicine that we swallow. The x-ray U especially good: in the case of superficial sores, or sores that have not deep seats. I . \ - 'A: '? ?. - m.'? ? 7Z-T. Is the Toxawny Dnm a Menace ? The. fears of many persons have been iroased because of the existence of the Toxiway dam. Whether the dam is properly )Hllt wo do not know, but we assume ibat an ncompetent person would not have been enrnctoH urlth on Imnnrfont o wnrt anrl PflRtlntf to much money, ?80,000. In regard to the danger various facts are to 5e considered. 1. Is the dam a good one and calculated to nold the strain against It? 2. The water being deep, U the-dam high snough and Is the reserve strength sufficient jo resist the waves which a strong wlud may throw against It? 3. Is the dam at the top properly guarded 10 as to prevent damage or wear by the yaves ? 4. But little danger need be expected from -alns or floods. Defeots In Its construction md the lashing of the waves are Us source of langer. 5. Five months time was required to fill he dam. This would Indicate that the waterihpd Which It drains Is small. The rains vblch generally foil on a large surface In that eDgtli of tlmo would have filled It niucb iarller. . 6. The pon;d or lake being a large one tbe mrface could not be raised a great deal by iny rain. A four-inch rise Is scarcely possi>le, and tbe Increased danger from tbe higher va.tet would be Inflnltesslmal. 7. Tbe effect on tbe stream below tbe dam, vould be to lessen tbe danger from tbe floods vhieb usually overflow the low lands. 8. In dry weather tbe amount of water in he stream below the dam is materially retuoed because o': Cbe evaporation which such i large surface ould cause. In wet weather ,he stream woi; d not be so much affected, betause of the large surface to Oil in tbe dam >efore any great Increase could be affected In be wasteway or spillway. Longer time after i big rain, would be required for the water to ms8. 9. The dam having cost a large sum, and he people having stood by and allowed the itruoture to be built the owners of the pro>erty should be protected in its possession. L'hey should not be deprived of their property >ecause of fears whioh may be aroused by newspapers which know nothing of the ictual condition of the dam. We oughtn't to lynoh the property, nor >nvy the owners of the possession of it. L'hey are trying to make a summer resort, vhich may be attractive. It is across the State line in North Carolina, but Is not so rery far away from u?. >nr Taxes?Corporations aud SonResldenta. If oar people will contemplate the lax Igares it will be seen that non-residents and torporetlons own a large proportion of the >roperty of the town, and that they pay a arge share of our taxes. In the following tatenient, the names of many non-residents lo not appear. For instance: The names of he Ancrum estate, the Devlin estate, the Sureka hotel, the Magee lands, the Alston 'Stale, ana perhaps other non-residents iroperty owners, do not appear In these Ignree: Non-resldenfand co-operation tax eg In the Ity of Abbeville: Cotton Mills pays tax 39,316.87 National Bank 1,726.25 FarmerB Bank 1,681 25 Furnltare Factory 375.00 Oil Mill 395.00 R.

When non-residents and corporations pay o much of our 'taxes, Is there any wonder bat oar people enconrege the organization if corporations.

The premium list of the State Fair has been ecelved at this office. It comeB from a preBB d Ohio. It Is always well to send such work mt of the State, especially when tbe Fair Is iroposed to encourage home enterprises, and o Inspire In our people tbe desire and the ffort for greate;- and higher things. If the iremlum list bad been printed at any one of be many printing offices In South Carolina be otbera might have been Jealous. As It le, 11 tbe newspapers have been treated alike, ,nd all may now cheerfully ohlp In and give 11 the fine advertising that may be needed. >f course no newspaper In the State would zpeot to receive pay for setting up free puffs, 'he newspapers are a very generous set, ad they seldom fall to lend tbelr aTd to eedy Institutions. Of coarse, the authorities if the Fair meant do unfairness to anybody n awardtDg their printing. They no doubt dvertlsed for bids, which advertisement we ;id not see, and the Ohio printer was perhaps nstty entitled to It. He will no iloubl help he South Carolina printers to advertise the bow whose favor it has received. In tbe Interest of the Citadel. Colonel J. P.
