Navigation On River Above Big Dam
Greatly Improved By Back Water
Navigation on the upper Savannah
has been greatly improved by* the
Stevens Creek power dam.
The water has been backed up the
river for from fourteen to sixteen
miles and where dangerous rocks and
shoals formerly existed is now cov
ered with daep fater.
The water In Stevens creek has
hacked up in the same manner ami
ferries that were formerly operate I
from bank to hank will have to In
crease the distance of these trips be
cause of the overflow. of the low
grounds.
The nature of the water that has
been dammed up has been changed.
Formerly It was running water and
shoals, but now It is potid water and
Is almost free from current or mo
tion.
The effect of the dam has been, to
increase the depth of the water, there
by making navigation easy and prac
tical both in the Savannah and in Ste
vens creek.
And for the reasons above set forth
the navigation by boats of heavier
draft than formerly and carrying
greater tonnage can now be effected.
likewise, boats to be propelled by
power, either gasoline or steam, can
now be used to advantage and the
old-fashioned Petersburg or pole boat
dispensed with.
Captain Hugh Scott, Jr., and several
gentlemen from that neck were in the
city Saturday and they were discuss
ing the advisability of organizing a
boat line for the purpose of serving
the up-river territory. Slack water
extends as far up the river as a point
between Scott’s Ferry and Modoc and
in Stevens creek some distance beyond
Price's.
It is the consensus of opinion that
there is a plenty of business to war
rant the formation of such an enter

that It would bring down would sure

success If properly managed.
It would be a great convenience to
the farming interests, especialy oyt to
the left of Stevens creek, in Edge
field county. That section of the
country Is now entirely without rail
road facilities and everything Is
brought to town over the Martlntown
road, that Is rarely ever kept In good
condition.
Moreover, water transportation is by
far the cheapest and would prove a
Treat saving for the farmers. This
advantage of cheap transportation
should enhance land values immensely,
as it will render accessible a section
hitherto cut off from the world and
make Its products readily marketable.

to skip to Georgia, where he hoped
to escape extradition.
But he failed to skip with care and
when he had crossed Stevens creek,
he settled down, not knowing that he
was still within the bounds of Blease's
Jurisdiction. If his troubled spirit still
hovere over the fatal spot it's puzzling
Itself more than ever as to why it
failed to reach Georgia and was
nabbed.
TWO ABLE VISITING
MINISTERS PREACHED
Dr. David Gregg at First Pres
bjrterian Yesterday and Bish
op Qandler Spoke at St.
John and St. James.
Two distinguished visiting minis
ters were heard in Augusta churches
yesterday. In the morning at the
First Presbyterian Dr. David Gregg,
the celebrated pastor of Brooklyn,
N.r, Y.. and one of the ablest minis
ters in the country,- preached. Dr.
Gtct'K is in the city at the Bon Air
Hotel, where he comes every winter.
Dr. Gregg was heard by a large num
ber yesterday. He took his text from
the fourteenth chapter and seventh
vprse oT Romans. “None of Us L.iv
enelh to Himsell.”
Bishop Warren A. Candler was an
other distinguished visiting minister.
In the morning Bishop Candler
preached the anniversary sermon of
the Henry Bible Class at St. John
Methodist Church and in the evening
he preached at St. .Tames Church.
The Bishop is an able minister and
he was'heard by large congregations.
Both of his sermons were splendid
efforts.
famous Ga. Prisoner Is
Dying of Broken Heart
Thomas Edgar Stripling Who
Is Serving Sentence for Mur
der Worrying Over Family
Atlanta, Ga. —According to reports
brought to the capitol. Thomas Edgar
(Stripling, perhaps the most famous
prisoner In Georgia, Is dying of a
broken heart on the state prison farm
at Milledgevitle.
.Stripling is serving a life sentence
for murder, after many years of free
dom, during which he raised a family
of twelve children. His present, keen
sorrow which is wearing his life away,
it is said, is due to worry over the des
titute condition of his family.
Knowing that his wife would be un
able to provide for her large brood,
Stripling has been failing in health
ever since Ids apprehension in Vir
ginia for the old crime committed
many years ago. Recently he has
received ft letter from his wife, tell
ing of the serfous illness of his fav
orite daughter, Ruth, and that hills for
food and medicine have reached more
than SIOO, and that site lias no money
to pay them.
Ruth Stripling was a baby in arms
when her father effected his escape
from a Georgia prison after Ttelng
sentenced for life. She was reared
to young womanhood In another state.
She was engaged to he married when
her father was finally recognized and
apprehended. She declined to fulfil
her engagement to wed, with the
shadow of disgrace haging over her
family, and since that time her own
health has been breaking.
The crime for which Stripling is un
der sentence wp.s the murder of Wil
liam Cornet, in Chlpley, Ga., in 1897.
Cornet was shot to death from am
bush, through a window of his own
home, when he was and
partly undressed, ready to retfre to
lied for the night. It is the circum
stances of the murder that have stood
in the way of a pardon or parole for
Stripling in spite of the sympathy
which is felt for his family.

MINUTES IN
MANHATTAN
(By Gotham Knickerbocker.)
Now York. —WIimI would you think
of seeing the I’resident'* daughter
dancing with a young man to whom
she had not been Introduced in a pub
lic dancing place?
Sotinns pretty unreasonable, what?
Vet that's Just what 1 did observe
when 1 visited Public Mchnol No. 41,
Greenwich avenue and t’harles street
You see, Miss Margaret Wilson once
lived In Greenwich Village Ho she
considered herself a neighbor of the
young man In question. And Intro
d lotions aren't needed among neigh
bors, are they?
Miss Wilson Is Intensely Interested
in the work which Is being done to up
lift this section of Manhattan. It Is
a curious place, a Wind of oasis In the
desert of downtown. The sweep of |
the progress uptown has left it
strangely quiet and old-fashioned. It |
has ISIS written all over it. The In- j
habitants are largely descendants of j
early New Yorkers who never made i
enough money to move to Fifth ave- |
nue or to own a country estate
But to get hack to that dance.
"We are all neighbors here together,"
said Charles A. Hohlen, who runs the
Greenwich Commonwealth, which cop
ducted the dance. He said this Just
as a second young man (also unlntro
dueed) butted In about the middle of
the waltz and took the President's
daughter away from the first unintro
duced young imam Before the music
paused Miss Wilson had danced with
four youths of the village.
She Is always glad to dance with
any decenf young man no matter who
he is. If he's decent and all our young
men are decent, explained mv friend,
Mr. Hohlen.
Another picturesque bit of New
York life is being eliminated pretty
rapidly by the industrious young
woman, Mrs. “Katie" Davis, our new
commissioner of corrections. Stio
threw up her hands in horror at the
hoary old custom she found in our fa
mous Bastille, proceeded to gel a new |
broom and made a clean sweep. She |
has ever dared to squelch the Insidious
evil of the woman charity worker,
which is still in great vogue at Sing
Sing.
Why, It's come to such a pass that
It's almost Impossible to pass u "shot
o' Hop" to a friend temporarily de
tained.
A young woman called to see her
hit it'and, accused of petit larceny. Shb
submitted to a search of her person
This has been the rule, always, of
course, hut the I>avls search wasn't
like the traditional style. Miss Da
vis’s underling went sp far that the
young woman became very nervous.
The searcher became more surlous and j
especially Interested in a pretty lit- j
tie hat pin. It had a long, black, shiny |
head. And the pin was rudely drawn ,
from the hat. It was hollow, In fact,
had once served as the cap of a foun
tain pen. White cotton was packed
inside and the core was a quantity of
white powder. “About four grains of
morphine, said Dr. Diehtenstein, the
Tomb’s physician. So the young wom
an was soon occupying a cell near her
husband.
The “morbidity parties are a thing

expeditions have been a special joy to
New Jersey commuters. In fact there
are rum ors that certain railroads have
run special excuslons that ruralltes
might be "uplifted" by a view of some
of the famous Tombs residents. A

Another famous Tnslitiillon hns
passed in the rude closing up of Tom
Sharkey’s case. Alas, alas, and onee
more alas. Here I will shed a real
tear. Tom’s place was certainly much
better thHn'most of the rest in his
neighborhood and there are dark ru
mors about the genesis of the affair.
But Tom was declared out of order
by a city magistrate and sent >tr> the
