Orr Considers it Unsafe-Engineers Should Make a Thorough Examination. [Greenville Nows, July 18.] Col. James L. Orr and his sous have roturnod from tho mountains, where they enjoyed camping for ton days at Cn'sin's Head, Buck F 'rest, Sapphiro, Toxaway aud Cashier's Valley. Knowing tho intorrat tho citizens uoar the valleys of Koowoo and Soueoa rivers felt in the big ToxaWay dam, a roporter for the Greenville Nows asked Col. Orr what he thought of it. He said, from an artistio point of view, tho Toxaway biko and dam wore beauti ful. Tho water being perfectly clear aud smooth, glistened Uko silver aud redocted tho mountains surrounding it like a Fronob plato mirror, but from an utilitarian point of viow bo was differ ently improsBod. Ho thought engineers, who* wore compotont to judge, should mnko a onroful examination of it. Toxaway rivor, which runs from thc foot of Hogback mountain, is about as large as Reedy rivor, aud drains a largo extent of tho smaller surrounding moun tains, and nina very swiftly. Indeed, just bolow tho dam Mio river falls proba bly 100 foot in 200 yards. Tho dam about 180 feet long, (12 feet high, 200 feet at bottom and 22 foot at tho top, and is made oxclnsivoly of loose Btones and dirt, thcro not hoing any masonry or cement used except on two littlo drains on top of tho dirt dam. Tho dam is 12 feet higher than tho water and this apace is sot iu grass and tho whole lower side of tho dam lins h en sodded, tho top hoing a driveway. Tho water overflows around tho end of the dam through a spaco :50 to 40 feet wide, which has been blasted out of rea sonably sound stone. Gol. Orr Bald! "If a continued rain sin m Kl fall it is doubtful if this outlet would discharge the water as rapidly as it collects from the mountain sides, anti if the water ever rose above tho top of the dirt datn it would wash it away two hours. The extent of tho dam can hardly be appreciated, as one cannot got a full view at any one point, hut it ?aid to be 18 miles around, and from 50 to 75 feet deep in many places, lt took 4 months and 15 days to fill up. Think of that. "Thcro is one thing about it that alarmed mo very much, and which was not observed until a careful examination was made of the base of tho dam. There are unquestionably two very considera ble leaks under and through tho dam, and being of dirt and hmso rock, the probability of their increasing Booms very groat. With these leaks tho chances of muskrats burrowing through tho dirt and tho possibility of tho overflow not carrying away tho surplus water, I must confess that I feel considerable appre hension for the people living in tho val leys, their property, and the bridges over and dams on tho streams which would re?oive tho waters if tho dam should break. "The railroad from Eastatoo, on the French Broad river, has been completed to one and one-half miles from the dam. and tho Toxaway Hotel, on tho lake with KM) rooms, will he open by tho first of August. Mr. Hayes, tho general mana ger of tho railroad and Toxaway Go., bas transformed those wild and unin habited mountains into a paradise, and opened up tho finest climate that I know of in tho world, to tho tourist. His energy, enterprise and power of develop ment has beon phenomenal. Let us hope his judgment ?is to tho safety of the dam is sound, for if it is not Johustown and Clifton Hoods would bo insignificant compared with the loss of life and prop erty, which this would occasion." -- - Foley's Kidney Cure purifies the blood by straining out impurities and tones np tho whole system.

It is not tho pul poso of tho department to disturb rou toa already established, unless they aro mani festly unnecessary, but as long as all tho routes that are asked for cannot he ostablishod, because of tho lack of sufii cicnt monoy, the routes that will supply tho greatest number of families should certainly have preference.

Peril? that Environ th? Camphor Indu ?ry. A dispatch from Tokio anya that a uamphor refinery at Giau, in the island of Formosa, waa ?ttaokod re cently by 160 of the wild native?, who killed the Japaueae workmen ano the policemen who were guard ing them. It was but a small es tablishment aud the victim* num bered only eleven persons, but the tragedy illustrates the perils of the camphor industry iu thia island. Few industries of tbo world are carried on under oouditions so diffi cult aud dangerous as camphor col lecting and refining iu Formosa. There is a great deal more tragedy than romance about it and oamphor is obtained only by braving these dangers, for nearly all the world's supply comes from Formosa. Japan and China together pro duce only about 600,000 pounds a year, but the annual yield of For mosa is from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 pounds. Formosa controls the cam phor markets of the world and will probably always be the great source of this valuable gum. The world has to pay more for camphor than it did a few years ago and one reason is the danger and difficulty of col lecting it. Tho tree clad mount nina of the east part of tho island contain the largest oamphor forests in the world. They aro also the home of snvage tribes that have never been subdued. Nearly half of Formosa is still occupied by these murderous men of tho forests, whose weapons are turned against all strangers. Thus the forests present very different conditions from the peaceful plains to tho west, inhabited largely by Chinese rico growers. The men who colloot the camphor have to work among these treacher ous natives. The camphor oamps are scattered for 140 miles north and south. Tho workmon themselves are well armed, but tho natives do not hesitate to attack them unloss they are in considerable numbors or are strongly guarded by Japanese police. There is glory for tho natives in killing these intruders in their for ests, and, furthermore, tho camp equipment and tho food supplies are tho legitimate spoils of war. At last accounts the Japanese govern ment had a forco of 1,500 policemen and soldiers guarding tho oamphor oamps and escorting the parties that carry the gum out of the forests. But in spite of all precautions, con flicts are of frequent occurrence. Campaigning among those moun tains, covered with tropical jungle, ia al most impossible, and this ia the rea son why tho Japanese government has not attempted to end the con flict by sending a large force against tho natives. If the government should attempt to do so thc natives could not bo found. Only they can move with celerity among their mountains and they could easily elude and bailie all pursuers. Of course the government adds the cost of the protection it affords to the price of the commodity, and this is ono reason why camphor is held at a high price. Another rea son ia that the Japaneso have made camphor a government monopoly and it turns a largo profit into the national treasury. It is not difficult to obtain a per mit to collect camphor, but not a pound can be sold except to the gov ernment, which fixes tho price to bo paid for it. Tho government also endeavors to koop the market price at a good round figuro by limiting tho amount to be sent to the markets and it will not buy a pound in excess of this limit. But while the world has to pay for the oamphor monopoly, the Japa nese government is entitled to oredit for its efforts to maintain the indus try and preservo tho source of sup ply. While the Chinese wore still masters of Formosa tho oamphor forests were gradually growing smaller, because tho tree is killed to collect the gum and nothing was done to make good, the timber de stroyed. Tho Japanese, on tho other hand, require that a tree shall bo planted for overy ono that is destroyed and the government is also establishing plantations of oamphor trees, so that Formosa is expected, in the near future, to yield large quantities of cultivated camphor ns well as the wild product.-New York Sun.

The Washington Post has always held that the duty of road building attaches solely to the communities immediately concorncd. The argu ment is put forth that no State, no county, no neighborhood possesses an inherent right to good roads, lt is a question of preference, of intelli gence, of opportunity. It has been claimed that people havo exactly tho kind of road they deserve-just that; no .more, no less. If they bo wiso ; if they want to elevate themselves the social seale ; to mako tho vicinity attractive ; to add to tho profitp of their labor ; to increase tho value of their possessions, they build good roads. Otherwise, t^iey separate themselves from civilization by bar riers of mud and rook, and get exactly the environment of stagnation and decadence they prefer. It is idle to discuss tho value of | good roads or the blight of bad ones. Rural communities that understand these things may bo depended upon to take eare of themselves ; and rural communities that aro satisfied with bad roads are not worth considering. The former do not need tho help of the Federal government. Tho latter do not deserve it. lu tho building of good roads lies tho solution of the convict problem. The conviot wo have always with ns-utilize him in tho construction of roadways. Don't ooop him up in] shops or put him out to speculators. Put him on the highways. Then ho will not como in competition with tho honest laboror in the shop or field. If you want good country roads, build them like Greenville county is doing.

Bean the T9 Klnd You "aw Always Bought The tea gardon of Dr. Shopard, Sum merville, twenty miles inland from Charleston, now oovers 100 acres and yields 5,000 pounds of ton, worth $1 a pound. Tho United States imposes uo duty ou tea, whilo Kuglaud taxes it 12 cents a pound and Franco 20 couts. A duty of 15 cents on foreign teas, Dr. Shepard says, would enable the A men ean plauter to moet competition and would exclude the "trashy" teas, while adding but one t wen ty :i ft li of a cont to tho cost of ono's cup of toa.

More Than a Salary to Earn. A boy or a man who works simply for bis salary, and is actuated by no higher motive, is dishonest and tho ono whom be tnoBt defrauds is him self. He is cheating himself in the quality of his daily work, of that wliich all the after years, try ns he may, can never givo him back. If I v o allowed but one utterance on t i.s subject, so vital to ovory young man starting on the journey of life, I would say : "Don't think too much of the salary your em iloyer gives you attho start. Think rather of the possible salary you can give yourself, in increasing your skill, in expanding your experience, in enlarging and ennobling yourself." A man's or a boy's work is material with which to build charactor and manhood. It is life's school for practical training of tho faculties, stretching tho mind, and strengthen ing and developing the intellect, not a mere mill for grinding out a salary of dollars and cents.-Success.

Some people have about made up their minds to defend their appen dices as they would their hearth stone against tho scientific hunter. A distinguished gentleman had an operation performed, in a distant city, and, after convalescence, wrote a friend in Augusta: "1 have the advantage of you. I have my appendix in a bottle, on my mantle piece, and can view it at leisure, as an enemy put to rest." His friend replied : "I congratulate you on your recovery. You may complacently inspect your appendix as a foe dis placed, but I congratulate myself on having my appendix where God put it, and expect to maintain it there in friendly agreement." Perhaps tho lattor gentleman might chango his mind, if there was the char acteristic rebellion in his interior, but ho will bear many an attack of old-fashioned cholera morbus before bo permits the medical sportsman to bag his appendix, in or out of season. -Augusta Chroniole. -INE FOR BUSINESS, JONE FOR PLEASURE.
