"WILL SNAG THE
RIVER CHANNEL
High I'p as Star BlrfT !\xistinjr Laws
Not Permitting

"Sometime (luring the present year
1 hope t<? be able to snap: the Waccamaw
River from Conway at least, to
the vicinity of Star Bluff and possibly
KwvUo,. time d iiiur nil fltr> wnvlf vvhirh

1 <"onsUer can I>c done under the existing
law," writes Major G. R. Young,
district engineer of Charleston, in a
recent letter to. the Conway Chamber
of Commerce:?^ the course of his
let toi* Major Toung explained the
legal reasons which would make it
impossible for his office at this time
to under'ake dredging work on the
upper Waccamaw. The Major explained
that dredging would have to
bo authorized as ,a project by Congress.
Snagging can be done out of
gc torn I funds in his hands.
Major Young's letter follows:
"1 have had under consideration for
some time your previous communications
regarding the desirability of
clearing the Waccamaw River and
opening up a navigable channel to the
vicinity of Pireway. Tn the meantime
I have had a hasty examination
and survey made of the greater part
of that stretch of the river, and from
this and from certain records in the
office have made some rough compumntni'inl
fr? hr> rpinnvfd Jllid
l??l L11?11 u i iiici wi t* i w ?/v & v.,.. v
cost.
"You are aware that the approved
project for Federal improvement of
the Waccamaxv specifies a 'cleared
channel' from Conway to Lake WaccanunV.
A 'cleared channel' is ordinarily
understood as one from which
snag's and similar obstructions have
been removed. It may possibly include
a small amount of dredging,
-where there exists small, localized
shoals interrupting an otherwise open
stretch of deep river.
"Work on the upper Waccamaw to
Pireway, to produce a satisfactory
navigable channel for commercial
movement would not, however, come
under this definition. For this pur-1
pose a 1 - foot or more would seem to
be whai you desire. To attain such
a channel, extensive dredging would
be necessary over dozens of bars,
scattered over the entire stretch.
This could not be held to come under
the definition of "clearing" a channel,
and 1 do not consider that even
were the money available (which at
present is no ) there would be author
ity under the law for expending it in
this manner.
"While you .'ire probably familiar
with the routine of river and harbor
improvement work. 1 wi 1 summarize
it briefly. When a community considers
a certain improvement desirable
it presents the mutter to Congress,
which ordinari y orders the
engineering depnrtmen' tr vvi-r -<n
examination and recommendation.
This is <made and presented to Congress.
Congress acts on it as it sees
fit; :ind if it approves the improvement.
passes a law directing that it
be made, and specifying in general
terms the location, length, width and
depth of the channel. There is thus
created what is known as a 'project.'
The next step is for Congress to .appropriate
money by which this project
may be put into elVect. It may do
this either by appropriating a specific
sum for the project, by an item of
an appropriation bill, or by turning
over to the chief of engineers a lump
sum applicable as he sees fit to all
projects in the United States.
"Recently it seems to be the tendency
of Congress to pursue the latter
policy. Under this, if there existed
a project for for a 4-foot navi?

liable channel from Conway to Pireway:
nnd if tho chief of engineers <
saw fit on njy recommendation to allot
money from the lump sum appropriation
to that project, the work
could he done.
"Hut tho chief of engineers, even
when in possession of such a lump
sum appropriation, cannot allot any
nortifln of it to work which has not
, J ? - |
been approved as a project by Con
gress. And as stated above, it is my
I opinion tlvit the extensive work necessary
to open such a channel as vou
desire to Pireway is not contemplated
under the existing project for a
cleared channel; and that a new pro-i
ject, for the type of channel which )
you desire, should he placed before
and approved by Congress as outlined
; above. |
"This, of course would he done on ;
j the initiative of the interested com-j
. munities through their representatives
in Congress.
"It is understood tlv.it on a former
occasion some dredging work was done
on one or two shoals under the existing
project. This has been adduced
as a precedent for the work which
you desire. The difference, however,
lies in the extent of the work. If
navigation on the Waccamaw River
were interrupted only by one or two
limited shoals it would be proper to
remove these. But as 1 have stated
above, such is not the case; the work
desired is extensive, extending over
practically the entire stretch, and
would possibly have an etVect on the
regimen of the river by drawing
down and partially draining natural
"pools" which would call f6r some
ik!v.
"Some time during1 the present vear
T hope to he able to snag the Waccamaw
River from Conway at le.ist to
the vicinity of* Star BlufV and possibly
higher, thus doing all the work which
1 consider can be done under the existing
law."

MOTTE BUSINESS
COLLEGE NOTES
The Conway branch of the Motte
Business Colleges had a very pleasant
visit la<t Thursday from President
Motte, en route to his Wilmington
school. He was with us about
two hours and brought a new two and
one-half doll.ar goldpiece for Mr. Ludlam
as a prize for his solution of the
problem of two weeks ago. We are
; informed that Mr. Lucllam was the
i recipient of a silver dollar from a
I gentleman in town as a consequence
! of his solution of the problem. Mr.
Ludlam is an efficient student in the
Motte Business College. Rumor hr.s
it that he has won much greater
prize than anything we have to offer,
i In last week's notes we stated that
! we should have something to say of
1 the work of the day classes, and we
, do this with pleasure. We desire to
i specially commend the work of Mrs.
Lewis and Mrs. V/instead. We trust
1 tha* the other students will be inspired
by their presence and their
high grade work, matching so well j
, the work of Mrs. Burroughs awl Miss
i Sessions of the night classes. W.'e <lej
sire to commend the work, attendance,
i deportment and punctuality of Misses
' Dusenhury, Jordan, Johnson, Gowd,
j E'lis and some others. Among the
I young men we wish to mention the
names of Prof. Sessions and Mr. Hyman.
Prof. Sessions is moving true
'.o his usual form in school work. As
to Mr. Elmo Hyman, we have no more
loyal, faithful, hard-working student
in the school than he. He attends
both evening and day classes. Having
finished the first set he has set
out to re-write it in order to remove
any erasures or blemishes. If he has
been absent a single day we do not
know of it, and we are gratified at
the progress he has made.

names have been received from our
out-of-town correspondents and we
hope that others to whom we have
written will be interested in the success
of this Horry county institution
to the extent of sending in other

It is a pleasure to mention the
names of Mr. Wright, Dr. Lewis, Mr.
Don Burroughs and the Chamber of
Commerce of Conway for their helpful
assistance; all the banks and the
leading citizens, even the boys and

BURDEN OF THE VOTE
Tn the opinion of Hon. Jeremiah
Smith it is wrong that men should
saddle upon the shoulders of the women
the responsibility of deciding
and casting their votes for the bet^r
class of men who offer for public
office.
When told that the men did not
place this responsibility on them, but
that the dear things just simply took
it upon themselves; fought for it all
those years, prayed for it. and picket-:
ed the Whitehouse for it; he said'
that he knew all that, but still, in
his opinion, it is all wrong.
Whether right or wrong, the responsibility
is there and it will have
to be met by the women voters.
There is a class nr wo^nn who <
that the ballot was sought by a few i
enthusiasts and that the great ma-!
joritv of her sex stood back and h"d
r )thing to do in the placing of this
grave responsibiliy upon the <ho '' '
ers of the fair. This is also the
truth. The women who fought so
for the ballot were, in the mi-j
nority And they worked on the men j
for what they wanted to bring about!
until they got it. The result of what
they did came about easy enough
when the men were pulled over and
decided to let them have it. The

then, and does not now, want to be
concerned in politics, stood back at
case and had nothing to say. If that
cVifcs had fought the other from the |
beginning there would be no woman !
sulVrage yet. I
Now that the responsibility is
p'aced upon her shoulders she must
cike up the burden for the good of
the country. They stav at home
and not vote when a!! of the candidates
running are the rirV; kin.I for
' rvo anc^ country, but when there is
necc vity for a choice. the v>.
er r ust turn out and decide the is'

| An incident is told of a trial in a
municipal court, where the jury was

the noon arrived the court decided
that the members of the jury should
disband and get dinner. They got
into a heated arguiven* as to the
place where they would go to get the

allotted and hc.ited arguments and
never went to dinner that day. Some
lime later the whole official force cf

of the courses, should return home
to do institute work in his or her
school, thus elevating the local school ,

an institute in his own school,
using the pastor and others as instructors.
With this sort of progran

The state trains its teachers and so J
must the Sunday school, if it is to
serve wisely in a world-,wide scheme
