Toxawny Dam.
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

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

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

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

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

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

The State Fair.
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.
