Writer nIkws Narrowness Of Some Phases Of Economics. {William Ward. In Everybody's Maga? zine.) It becomes necessary to resist cer? tain narrowness in certaic phases ot h? m> I'-s, On?? ol the nai - rowneaees Is the assumption that be? cause a thing happens to be close to us It Is therefore Important. We have heard lecturers insist that because a house contains drain pipes a woman should learn all about drain pipes. But why? In most communities drain pipes are Installed and repaired and In every way con? trolled ftf gentlemen who are drain? pipe specialists. The woman who lives in the house has no more real need or a knowledge of the struct? ural mvsterles of cValn pipes than a reportei has of a knowledge of the structural mysteries o. his typewrit? ing machine. Another possible narrowness is the attempt to manufacture "cultural backgrounds" for various important hut quite safe and sane household tasks. For Instance. In the books and in the courses of instruction (of college gra<b i on "The House" we have sometimes oh elaborate ac? counts of the evolution of the human home, beginning with the huts pf the primitive Simians. And in pursuing the very essential subject of "Clothes and Fabrics" we have not Infrequently found ourselves in the midst of spa clous preliminary dissertations on the structure of the loom, beginning with that which was used by the An thropcnjculns. Now we would not for the world speak disparagingly of looms or huts. We have oursej Ves examined some of them In the Hull House Museum, in Chicago, and .n the woods of Canada, and hf,ve found them Instru? five. We suggest only that college life is short, that th" cdl.tfe curriculum Is cn.v.d ed and that except possibly for those student* who are especially Interested In anthropology or In Indu^ni.i SVO? lution It would Atirely be a misfortune to le;irn the Slmlanhin hut andtOMIKM Kr**ctt?'i? "House of Life," or to gel the Impression that as a "cultural background" for shirtwaists the An thropengulnlan loom can really com? pete with Carlyle's "Sartor ReeartU " if this eeessskannl tendency toward exaggerating the importance or drain pipes. window curbilns and door mats were to grow strong, and If girls, as a class, should be re? quired to spend any large proportion of thHr lime on the specialized his? tory and socbdogv of feminine Imple? ments and tasks while the boys were still In the rurrent of the eJhltrs of the race. we should Imbed want President Thomas, of Rrvn Mawr. to repeat on a thousand lecture plat? forms her Indignant assertion of the fact that "nothing more disastrous for women, or for men, can be con? ceived of than specialized education of women as a sen." STEEL BRIDGE SPANS WATEREE. t uniilen Celebrates <>|>enlng of line Structure. mden, Sept. 15.?The barbecue celebration he'i here today, to mark tii*- completion and opening of the bridge across the Wateree Hiver, wad the greatest event of Its kind tvei held In Kershaw county. The people of Kershaw county responded well 10 the invitation of the city of Camden to attend and between four and five thousand were present. Right well did the committee In charge of this celebration do Its work and every? thing passed off In splendid style. "A steel structure that will stand until doomsday" are the words used by the firm of architects here, who designed and supervised the constrac? tion of the Wateree bridge, at Cam? den, the crossing over the river in Kershaw county, in describing the mass of steel upon a rock foundation that spans the river. Rising from the ruins of the memo? rable flood of 1908, the new bridge is indeed a work of science, and that never again will the distance between the two banks be swayed apart. Is the belief of those who built this giant bridge. Three feet higher than the old wooden bridge, the new bridge 1 will be able to breast the fiercest storms and flood waters that might rage in the old Wateree. In 1908 there was a wooden struc? ture at practically the same point spanning the banks of the river. Then came that rush of waters that carried the bridge away and came very near resulting In the loss of life. But for the heroism of a negro who risked his own life, one of those who were crossing the bridge when It went down would have been drowned. Voting bonds In the sum of $40, 000. the people of Kershaw made the new bridge a possibility. The work was commenced about one year ago ?nd has been completed. The bridge Is second only In length >f if span to one bridge in this coun? try east of the Mississippi. The only other bridge having a longer span is that in Waco. Tex. The Wateree bridge Is 375 feet In Us span. The excavation for the bridge was made forty feet below the earth. Piers of concrete were driven to solid rock foundation. The concrete piers were first placed on top of this rock, although at first there was talk of putting in piling. The height from low water to the (looff cf the bridge is 4 0 feet From the Boot to tho crown of the arch is 53 feet. The bridge Is designed to take the heaviest load possible to be driven over It, as much as a fifteen-ton steam roller can be driven over the bridge with safety. Tue floor system is of wood. This Is the only wood In the whole struc? ture. The pinr.ks are eight Inches with spaces between for ventilation and darlnage. The arch Is of steel and riveted to? gether. The load is transmitted ver? tically because of the construction. Fifteen to twenty regular men have been at work on the bridge for a year, while during the construction of the steel work, there were brought South a number of men to do the riveting. The bridge was designed by Wilson & Sompayrac, architects of this city. Prof. F. H. Colcock. head of the de? partment of mathematics at the Uni? versity of South Carolina, was resi? dent engineer for the last few months of the work. Previous to this Mr. Hook, of Clemson, was resident engi? neer for the concrete work and still later ("apt. Dvlght, of the C. N. and L., was the resident engineer, Imme d'ately before l?rof. Colcock took charge. "Th? re is no further chance for danger from high water," said a member of the engineering firm to iv," The bridge is so constructed as to Withstand any Hood or high water. It la three feet higher than the old bridge and IIa strong structure makes the danger from flood Improbable, it will aland until Doomsday." \ Pleasanl Social Affair.

Railroad President Says Conditions ill The south are Excellent and Pros IMK-t.s for Bmincea are Bright. Waehlngton, D, C. Sept. 14.?Presi? dent Plnley, Of the Southern Railway Company, who has been looking in? to business conditions in the South? eastern States today said: "On the whole the conditions are ncouraging. In agriculture the pres nt outlook is particularly good. The cotton crop is later than usual, and is. therefore, more subject to future weather conditions than is usual at this time of the year. However, the condition report of the United States Agricultural Department, issued on the 2nd instant showed a better average condition of the growing cot? ton crop In the States south of the Potomac and Ohio rivers and east of the Mississippi than on the cor? responding date last year, and the area planted was reported in June as 140,000 acres greater than last year. "With ordinary favorable weather conditions until the crop is harvested, the Southeastern States will have the largest corn crop on record for that section. Tbr? area planted is more than a million and a-half acres great? er than last year, and the condition report issued on September 8th showed a better condition in Missis? sippi than In any other State in the United States, wLth Alabama close second and with good condition re? ported from each of the other South? eastern States. The increased corn crop of the South will have an im? portant bearing on general trade Conditions, for localities which have formerly bought considerable corn from other parts of the co .ntry are growing in some cases all, and in other cases the greater part of what they will require this year, and will be in a position to buy other com? modities on a larger scale. "Coal is moving in larger volume than last year, and lumber is in more active demand. "The cotton mill industry of the world has been passing through a prolonged period of depression due to the inability of manufacturers to market toeir products at prices com? mensurate with the price of their raw material. This has resulted In a ma? terial curtailment of production In the South as well as in other cotton mill centers. In the meantime, the consumption of cotton goods through? out the world is continuing. Stocka In the hands of merchant are being reduced, and there is every reason to believe that, as soon p.s the size of this year's crop can be more accurate? ly estimated, there will be an active demand for cotton goods of all kinds at prices bearing such a relation to the price of the raw material as to stimulate the mill industry. "Taking all factors of the situation Into consideration, I am encouraged to believe that, with average weather conditions and in the absence of an unusually early killing frost, we may look forward to an active fall and winter business in the Southeastern States." NEW NATIONAL RANK LAWS. Important Changes May Rc Proposed to Next Congress. Washington. Sept. 16.?Some Im? portant changes in the national bank? ing law may be proposed to the next Congress. One proposed change is to compel newly organized national banks to provide a surplus and an absolutely enimparicd capital the day they be? gin business. Under the present sys? tem o national bank with n paid-in capital of $25,000 will spend prob? ably $5,000 at the start for fixtures, books and other necessities. That impairs Itr, capital. In some eases It has been two years before the bank earned enough to wipe out that amount and have its capital stock unimpaired. Even then it had no surplus. The idea is to compel the organi? sers of the bank to provide a 20 per Cent surplus at the start. EDITOR VICTIM or PELLAGRA, Head of Salisbury Evening Poet Sue ciimbs to Disease.

Worm of Unknown Origin or Ances? try Bores Into Holls and Utterly Destroys the staple. Lamar, Sept. 16.?A number of farmers near Lamar have, in the past two weeks, made the alarming discovery that their cotton crops have been curtailed at least 25 per cent, by the ravages of a worm. This worm, which resembles ihe corn worm, attacks the boll, boring into it, the cotton in the boll being destroyed. After a rain these infect? ed bolls turn black and wither. WOODROW WILSON NAMED. Princeton President Candidate for Governor of New Jersey. Trenton,' N. J., Sept. 15.?The New Jersey Democratic State convention nominated Dr.. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton university, for the office of governor. Dr. Wilson's nomination wan brought about largely through the influence of Former United States Senator James Smith, Jr., of Essex conty, who is undisputed Democratic leader of the State, and Robert Davis, leader of the Hudson Democracy, who for the first time in many yearn acted in harmony with Senator Smith. Resides this support Dr. Wilson had with him a number of independent Democrats who believed that because of his standing as an educator he would make an unsually strong can? didate. Dr. Wilson was nominated on the first ballot and received 40 more votes than was necessary to a choice. Frank S. Katzenbach, Jr., who was not a candidate, although urged by his home county, was a favorite with individual delegates and received nearly 4 00 votes in the convention The platform adopted was in line with the Democratic platform of three years ago, except that it was more specific in advocacy of reform measures, inc'uding the conferring of rate-making powers upon the present public utilities commission. Dr. Wilson, after his nomination came before the convention, accepted the nomination and made an address. Princeton, N. J., Sept. 15.?Presi? dent Woodrow Wilson returned to Princeton immediately after finishing his speech of acceptance at Trenton. He said: "You can say that I am highly hon? ored by the nomination, especially as it came absolutely without solicitation No promise or pledge was given by me and I am a free candidate." When Dr. Wilson was asked how his relations with Princeton would be affected he said that of course he would resign If elected.

The Hague Arbitration Tribunal an? nounced on Wednesday its decision ' l in the Newfoundland fisheries contro- ! vcrsy, the points in which were pre? sented to it with fullness and cogency at sessions held during the summer. The questions submitted to the Tribu? nal were seven In number, of which two were decided in favor of the Uni? ted States. The first question was whether any reasonable regulations made by Great Britain, Canada and Newfoundland in the form of muni? cipal laws, ordinances or rules (such regulations being appropriate or necessary for the preservation of the fisheries, desirable on grounds of public order and morals, equitable and fair as between local fishermen and Inhabitants of the United States) are subject to the consent of the United States. This question the Tribunal answered In the negative, that la, against the contention of the United States. It held In effect that the right to make such regulations without the consent of the United States is inherent in the sovereignty of Great Britain, but that in the ex? ercise of the right the treaty of 1818 must not be violated, and that the regulations must not be so framed as to give the local fishermen an ad? vantage over the Americans. The award provides that existing regula? tions shall be submitted for judg? ment as to their reasonableness to a commission composed cf one ex? pert from each country and Dr. Paulus Iloek, the fisheries adviser of the Netherlands. The other question decided in favor of Great Britain was the much dis cussed three-mile question, the fifth in the series, which was presented In this form, viz: "From where must bo measured the three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks or harbors referred to in article 1 of the American-British Treaty of 1818." The United States contends that the measure could be taken from any part of the British North American shore, and therefore that United States fishermen had liberty to take, dry or cure fish in the middle of any Canadian bay or estuary having a radius of more than three miles, while Great Britain argued that the measure should be taken from an imaginary line drawn across the mouth of a bay from headland to headland. Under the ruling of the Tribunal the latter contention pre? vails. Upon the other questions the Tribu? nal's decisions have gone in favor of the United States. In disposing of the second queition in the series, re? garding the right of United States fishermen to employ persons not in? habitants of the United States, the Tribunal rules that the claim of Great Britain to prohibit such em? ployment is unauthorized by the trea? of 1818. So, in reference to the third question submitted, the conclusion is reached that the lib? erties to take, dry and cure fish in treaty-designated places cannot be subjected, without the eonsent of the United States, to the requirements of entry or report at custom houses, and like grounds is taken upon the fourth question, as to whether restrictions can be Imposed upon American fisher? men making the exercise of the priv? ileges granted them by the treaty to enter certain bays or harbors for shelter, repairs, wood and water, conditional upon the payment of light or harbor or other dues on entering and reporting at custom houses, or other similar conditions. In deciding the sixth question the Tribunal holds that the treaty gives the Inhabitant! of the United States the same liberty to take fish in the bays, harbors and creeks of New Coundland as in Labrador. Finally, in passing on the seventh question, the Tribunal holds that United States fishing vessels are entitled to have the commercial privileges on the treaty coast accorded, by agreement or otherwise, to United States trading vessels generally. Not unnaturally, the decision of The Hague Tribunal is regarded with more satisfaction in Great Britain and In Newfoundland than in the United states, because of the feeling that the questions of greatest import? ance were settled in favor of the for? mer. There has been, however, no criticism of the result reached. On the other hand, it Is felt that there is much reason for satisfaction at the fact that a Long-standing controversy has been settled, and that in a way at once amicable and prompt. It is worth nothing that the decisions reached by the arbitrators were unan? imous with one exception, that, namely, in regard to the three-mile question, and the dissent upon that point did not come from a representa? tive of one of the contending parties. The promptness with which the j award was made was noteworthy., The articles of agreement by which the matter was submitted to arbi? tration were signed at the ? nl of January last year. The court betrau Its hearing In June and concluded it In August, and a decision was reach? ed within the first week in Septem? ber. The circumstances attending the derision have been of a kind to convince men of the practical value of a procedure which roaches results of such consequence with such ex? pedition and by such entirely ami? cable methods.?Bradstreets.
