j^ocal News. .VEDNESPAY, NOV. 13, 1H01. Portman Letter. By wime mistake the column of local news ia Tm: IXTEI.MGENCEU was in formed about three weeks ago that the dam nt Portman was finished, lt was not finished then, and for two weeks after about 50 men each day were em ployed upon the wall. No doubt it looked finished, ami the observer must have forgotten what the poet, by some human experience, learned, that some times "things are not what they eeeui." We all know how important a part finish plays in any sort of work, and the finish often costs more time and la bor than the result would seem to in dicate, hut even Borne, though not built iu a day, was finished, and our piece ot architecture is about complete. The surroundings, where, for over a year so much clamor and noise re sounded, is not yet a desolate wilder ness, and everywhere the eye looks there is one or a group of men doing something, and all relating io the li II - inking st roko of thc dam und its .sur roundings. Dr. Orr and his efficient observer in such works-thc Doctor's brother, (Jot. ?las. I., tor, of Piedmont-were herr since tn.- "appareili" finish, and have been pleased willi the approaching prospect, i ii'-;, each think ihat :i thil?g ol heauty, because ol'some little chance catches hero ;i III ! lhere, they could i hems ?Ives, with t row ..! or poe!* - er killte, ?Hld .1 lew touche.* ? ? l?htdllntl nu. i's heart; bul as a joy I inc vcr. ! ii. tin .vay ot strength, ilurability ami ellicieticy, they sincerely hopo it caniiol he imp:oveil upon.

All tilings ate j accomplished by ligures-we cannot j get around them. A little boy who ! said he wanted to learn something that lind un ligiltes when he went to school loi ho hated figures- found there was nothing for Ililli lo learn, j Every lessou had figures ol some sort about ii-even to the pages ot his reading hook. Astronomy was as loll ot ligules as then- were stars in the tirmutnem. ti ooh igy was as tull a* there were rocks ?ind gravel under the ear h. Hot.my the sanie. Ile could no. ouy nor sell, mend or make, plant or'?.ap intelligently without a ktiowl ' .'.. of ligures. So the hoy gave it up . .. .-.?ni le- t tonight he would try since Uii.-re was no getting out of the dumb thing. On .Sunday, i?rd inst..for tho first time in creation-as tar as the dam is con cerned-the waler poured over it in full volume lind fell 40 feet on the other side. There was some excitement mau i tested among neign hors and work men a.s to "how MIIC would look*' when "she" was pouting over, und how would thu dani stand it. So, carly in the toieuoou spectators were gather ing. Mr. X. (>. Farmer, we noticed, and Mr. (inrrisou, whose home crown.-? the hill above us, and Mr. (filbert over in the Forks, and several whose unities are nor so familiar to us as their faces -all were there waiting for the event to?>ecur. The ??ates were shut down nt ? o'clock Sat ut day evening, and every opportu nity given ".Mistress Seneca" to come in with her retinue ot ripples and waves. She was beseeched to make herself at home; tin? cleft between the hill.-, waa hewn out for her by nature centuiies ago, and nil she was asked to do now was to come in and enjoy the scenery. She w?s informed that she could spread herself, the Company had allowett her plenty of room, and she would just do them abundant pleasure if she would now, between this and some timo to-morrow, assume all tho agony her proud heart was capable of. Just rino in the night, and in tho emo tion of the new dignity before her-the elevation in life-spare no attempt at appearance, but in the common par lance ot society, "spread herself." 1'he public, she was told, would be there to-morrow to view her. TtiosH who knew tho gates were down at5 o'clock breakfasted hurried ly Sunday . morning, thinking that hy midnight surely the river cavity would lie full ant! overflowing. The engineer was asked by sonie if he thought they cou hi h.; lhere carly enough in the moruiug to see the waler touch the brink. "Let me see," said he, making a rough sketch, "1 will not count now exactly on the water running throuirh the wheels, or other things, say1 7..101) cubic feet per inimit?, 700 feet wide, 2 miles ioug, i? i'eet. deep-well, ?S a * rough guess, lt will take that river IT . hours, 01 minutes and 'IU seconds to reach tho top." lt took exactly 14 minutes additionally, which was not, bad on guess work. ".Mistress Seneca," true to the confidence placed in her, BWi'pt in through thu night. We watched her rising by her 7,000 cubic feet per minute to her 40 feet stature, saw her.sweep up the inclined plano on the Spillway little by little, saw her grow proud in ber onpuleucc, her lips seek new pleasures that curled on tho brink, nearer and neater she came. Could nostrils tie granted metaphoii cally so huge a body of water she must have smelled the furling and unfurling .verdure that gathered tho flagrant bree/.-'s und shook them lavishly on the tide down the stream. She must have smelled the beeches mid oaks and wil lows that weie wasting their essences upon thu tide awaiting her coming, and froth afar off she must have smelled the (JVU weed ami thu wild breath of the. Sea galls ns they Heated in it ripple from Hie Atlantic'Ocenu whew it swept in upon I lie lips of the Savannah. Nearer we saw her approach from oui pedestal on an abutment t? feet higher, and liitle hy little, as o child dips at something ont of its reach, she-this distinguished lady Seneca-leached down her lone fingers over thu precipi to is edge aii'.l, seeinliiifX to like the prospect of further iiequaWtanco with out further ceremony, reached forward und leaped over on tho other side: her majestic plunge euveldpiug herself in billow s of lace-like mist, which threw up a shower of farewell spray into our faces as wo saw her, the first embodi ment of the constant Seneca sweep down stream and vanish from our bight around the curve. "I should like," said the engineer, "to Bee the edge of that dam like the edge of a knife, so smooth and even, not an inch of it would have been visi ble while the water was going over the vest-as it is in tho Piedmont dam; every inch of the spillway should have beon covered and flowing at the same time. But this beiug nn artistic point, and we spectators being there on a purely business motive, our aesthetic ' sensibilities were not shocked, and'one thing more important than all, we knew the dam was safe, it stood the force of the liver at the highest tide perhaps ever attained, and not a vibra to u brought to our minds the solemn charges against structures built on sa ol. . . 'in-- spectators dispersing, there seeiue I one man upon whoso mind rolled 4 mighty tide of anxiety, and that wa.? Mr. Long. Ho hastened with i neiv.),ts step to the little motor boat / that had so often safely carried him on i the b'^o.n of the btream. His im gutae* it seemed, was to make sure that now (ho (hun being safo, the rivet' also was oaf?*; a* the dam had horne np against the river would (he river now hear up against tho boat..' lie pushed out and up stream, which was now beautiful as a luke. When he returned his lace was joyous. The river had borne its weight without n stalin. It had borne hint a distance the boat and he had never gouo before-three miles over what hail been shoals and low water. Arriving nt Bruce's ford he hada notion ot trying a push up to Clemson. On his return Mr. and Mrs. Mayes, with Miss Fannie Pinckney, ot Anderson, wanted to make sure about the river tim. the engineer and Mr. Busby; and it was expected Dr. Orr would have been in to test the river, but all who scientifically experimented said it was all right; tho river was up to tim mark in every way and was A 1. We have had no torch light proces sion over the event yet; but we sup pose thc people of Anderson, who have been waiting their electric power since 1st <>f April last, will go out and illum inate thu city generally, li.
