Mr.. Ewart in CONCLUSION said that
while he spoke only for himself, yet
he knew there were other southern
Republicans who would vote against
the bill. He knew also of still others
who wanted to do the same thing,
but they were afraid of party press
ure. and probably would have to 60

It was really pernicious measure

ton be might have to politically
sacrifce himself il the House, bat it
Isattered not. He woaid do his duty,
and never by his vote or voice would
he support a measure that tended 10
Cypress and humilIate his people.
The last words of his speech were :
"If this be treason to my party make
the most of it,
There was perfect hurricane OF
applause in the House when Mr..
Ewart took bis seat. 1t was not all
tom Democrats either. for Coleman
of Louisiana, Lehlbach of New Jer-
eay, Frank Of Missouri, and other
Republicans joined in the demon
straton. Aside from the bold posi-,
top taken the speech was one OF
great merit in every respect, and was
delivered with fine effect. Mr.. Ewart
made careful preparation, and he
tore the bosses all to pieces. Being
q sonthern man he knows more OF

could be piled up mountain high
Among those who congratulated Mr.
Ewart were Messrs. Coleman, LehI

From the first, it has been lie
Democrats intention to proceed
slowly in urging the Importance Of
dIking the Roanoke river.
We have thus far only suggested
how the appropriations might be
made for the work and we are graft
fed to see the press Of the State TAX
ing an interest in the matter.
1t is no9 time to proceed to get
the persons most interested in The
project to come together and take
steps looking towards q suitable
memorial to the next Legislature.
We are not partial to any par
ticular plan. All we wish is to get
the people intcrested-and we think
thew are row-and then bring them
together.
Perhaps the following plan would
at least be suggestive Of something
better:
Let there be called township con-
vcutions in everY township touching
is liver in Halifax, Northampton
BERTHE and Martin counties. Let thC
conventions in those townships be
called on the same day, and at such
conventions let there be appointe5
delegates, say three or five, to meet
in convention later at Scotland Neck
for the purpose Of formulating s
memorial for the next legislature
and for appointing q committee t.
Put the matter before the proper
Legislative committees, as early as
possible after the assembling of tht
Legislature.
HE DEMOCRAT will be glad tC
have the persons along the river whC
are interested in this matter an(
who know Of It's Importance, speal
out through our columns, and give
us any suggestion by which the pro-
jected may be carried forward. We
C not do this work alone. There
must be cooperation and the soone,
the better. Speak ont.

Exhihftfon Rathers.

The number of exhibition bathers who
hang their clothes on hickory limb, but
don't go near the water, is daily on the
increase, and during walk along the
beach at Atlantic City one can readily
pick out hundreds of young girls and
even mature danes srrayed il the most
attractive and costly bathing robes who
don't even wet their dainty feet in the
surf, but prefer to gayly trip in groups
along the strand or gracefully recline on
the warm sands.
They, as a rule, wear collars and cuffs,
jaunty little caps, neat slippers, and are
invariably tight laced. They are as care
full of details in donning this beach cos
tune as if they were dressing for ball,
and certainly appear far more captivat-
ing. These fair and frohcsome visitors
are known as exhibition bathers, but they
don't bathe.
A new fad among this particular class
is to go carriage riding in their brief at
tire, and it is familiar sight on the ave-
nues daily to see a bevy of pretty girls
clad in handsome surf costumes urging
along weary beach steed, and evident
ly enjoying the diversion.-Cnr Phila-

When the Prinz Frederik ccllided with

commander Of detachment of Dutch
colonial forces which happened to be on
board immedistely ordered the assembly
sounded. and the men fell in ON the deck
like clockwork in the face of certain loss
to the ship. Their conduct was an In
valuable example to the passengers and
crew, for, although the entire company
were then transferred to the boats with
perfect quiet and dispatch, the Prinz
Frederik went down as the last boat left
her side. She carried with her six Dutch
privates and an officer, who doubtless

REELECTION AGAIN PUT OFF.

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 15.-The managers
of the western railroads were advised today
by the interstate commerce commission
that the order reducing grain rates from the
Missouri river and points beyond was fur
ther suspended until October /. The COM
munication came in response TO the re-
quest of the managers that later date
than September Is be named TO allow the
railroads ample time in which to prepare
their tariffs.
In addition to suspending the order for
another fortnight, the commission also
gave the roads permission TO correct the
error in its original adjustment
of the rates in order to preserve
the old basis of differentials on Mississippi
river business. Accordingly the rate OF
wheat TO st. Louis shall be Is cents instead
of IA. The wheat rate to Chicago is IN
changed from the original figures, 90 cents.
Rates on corn will remain u cents to St
Louis and IL cents to Chicago. The Rock
Island and Alton will now wait until Oc-
tober before putting the new reduced
rates into effect in order that the new tariff
may be simultaneously adopted by all the
interested lines.

Hints to Fishermen.

The most symmetrical pole doesn't al
ways catch hemost fish.
Always fish in muddy water. Turtles
and small "catties" are sure to bite at
such time.
When fly fishing carry in your hat no
less than one dozen flies. This is always
an indication of being an experienced
angler.
Never use net when using a fly pole.
When bass is hooked attempt to haul
him out as though he were small sum-
fish. If you use a net you might posi-
bly, catch him and destroy the tale of
'the big one you hooked, but which es-
capped"
Fish with a pole as thick as mans
arm, use a masons cord, the largest hook
manufactured and tie q ten pound weight
to the end of the line. The weight makes
big splash" when cast into the water
and may attract the attention of the
bass.
For good fishing always select a
slough" away from the creek, and an
chor your line firmly. Fish might bite
at the bait and destroy it If it were sub
merged in the Brsndywine.
Never go "fshin'. West Chester
