^HISTORIC GREAT FAXL8* Writing in The News and Courier of the water powers of South Carolina, August Kolm has the following to say of the site of the power plant at Great FaWi>: "Following up Catawba power plant, the nrst of the large developments undertaken by the Southern Power company was at Great Falls. To get to this plant it was requisite to build 12 miles of steam t ailioad. This was done by running a line from Fort Lawn on the T>ancaster and Chester railway. It is a picturesque sight, this power plant at Great Falls, and even on one who is in no wire interested In so practical a thing as motive power, it must leave a deep impression to see what man has, accomplished, and how ho has: -utilized the natural resources that have been placed here for the use of mankind. More than too years ago engineers sought j to avoid this same shoal for river navigationl At that time within the shadow of this water power was Fort Dearborn, which tranftition says came near being the eite of the United Sates Military academy, the West Point of America. Within a stone's throw of the present power plant is a magnificent stone structure; each of the granite blocks used in this building was no doubt laboriously carved by hand. Once upon a time the building was utilised by the engineers who were trying to make possible a waterway from the high hills of Chester to the ocean at Charleston. Years ago the project and with it the splendid granite structure were abandoned, and when the engineers of the Southern Power company went to the site the roof had rotted away and piercing through the timbers that were left were giant oaks. The building has een restored, and today the granite house, no doubt constructed under the direction of the distinguished Senf, the engineer of the work, is a club house for the employees of the Southern Power company, and it will no doubt be used by those connected with the Republic mills, which is in course of rapid construction on the brow of the hill overlooking the water power." | F~ V | That Suit i I Buy a styl est cut-pri same suit i li rv.

W. . - . r~ TAKING LIFE SERIOUSLY I nm? *. jj/? t_ _ I mere is a vast uinerence Detween the man who takes life seriously because he feels the sense of responsibility and the man who takes it as a huge jest, observes an exchange. The former may look all the world in the face and feel that he has the right to be called a man; the latter is not much more than a chattering monkey. The flippant jester who takes life as a joke [ does not deserve to be ranked with the clown, for it is a man's work to play the part of a clown; there is reason in his unreason. But to face the issues of human life, to stand before the realities of human destiny, one's own destiny at that, and regard it as nothing worth while ? such a view puts one perilously near the level of the ape. It is not egotism for a man to take himself seriously; not to do so borders upon that very disgusting fault. One life to live, and that but a brief span: ' one journey along the unexplored | and unknown pathway, never to have the opportunity to pass that way again; one body, one mind, one heart, one soul?and one short day of activity. Is it too much to say that a man should take himself seriously? To be a worker, to help make the world better, to reach out after knowledge, to develop the mind, to help those less fortunate and to hold communion with the invisible and eternal?these are some of the experiences that make life worth while. To live out life's little day with no higher thought than the pursuit of gold or the gratification of appetite or the gratification of the spirit of revenge is to utterly fail of the sacred trust committed.
