FROM THE HEART,

where l first heard Col. Inger>
soil speak. There was a large
audience gathered there among

cream of professional life of the
city. Col. Ingersoll's speach was
magnificent from an oratorical
standpoint, but his attack on
religion and the Bible was bias
phemous. However, the mans
powers as an orator aud as all

cat the conclusion of the lec-

from the stage in peculiarly
graceful manner, when the Rev.
Mr. Clark bounded to the forum
and asked to be introduced to
the speaker. This formality
having been gone through, the
and the agnostic clasps
ed hands, the minister with
eagerness, the agnostic with
grace peculiarly his own. l we'll
remember the pleasant, hearty,
honest manner in which the
great Ingersoll grasped the

fame as Christian of the real
kind was known throughout
Pittsburg. ;

The Same.
Old Sarsapariila.

That's Ayers. The same old
ssrsapariHa as it was made and
sold by DR.. J. c. Aver so pears
ago. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern eppli-
! snces lend speed TO skill and
experience. But the sarsaPa-
rilla is the same old sarsaparilla
that made the record--5O years
of cures. Why don't vc better
it2 Well, we're much in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry: Doubtless, " he
said, God might have made a
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did. " Why
don't we better the sarsaparillal
We can't. We are using The

since ace make sarsaparilia COM

we see no way of improvement.
OF course, if we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might. But we're not.
We're making the same old sar-

eyes toward Heaven and prayed
IN a tervent manner that God
would direct the wonderful tai
ents of this man in another and
better sphere. His prayer was
not a long one, but i, was from
the heart and had its effect upon
lngersoll. The great agnostic,
looking the good Christian in
tie eyes, thanked him most
heartily for his kindness, and
solennly added that Mr. Clark
was the first Christian minister
that had ever wished hin. god>
speed. He then left the plat
form and the audience slowly
filed out of the building.
THE sequel, though, shows
1ngersoll as he was. 1t brought
out the manhood of the great
agnostic. Rev. Alexander Clark
went West. | am not sure toI
what State he emigrated, but |
believe it was Missouri. and
there he became i'll. He was at
a hotel, and the Governor ofI
the State. who had known him
many years, had him removed
to his home. Mr.. Clark grew
worse and was threatened with |
death. The news came East
and Ingersoll heard it in Wash
lngton, where he was lecturing, |
and Immediately went West as
as possible and was at
the bedside of the Christian
minister and until the death of
Mr.. Clark, was almost constant
ly in attendance upon hi m. I
When Mr.. Clark died, Ingersoll
took charge Of the remains and
brought them East to New Gas,
tie where they were buried. At
the funeral, after the officiating
clergyman had concluded his
sermon, the agnostic delivered
an addres. touching upon the
grand life and character of the
dead man which moved his
hearers to tears. 1t was one of
his best efforts and from the
heart.

Thirty houses, two churches
and school houses were des
troyed, the hotel pier was wash

covered with water for three
days.
Not since the awful storm e1
1916 has Ocracoke been the

velocity of seventy miles' an
hour and the sea was breaking
from twenty to thirty feet high
on the island.

causing her to drift to the inlet,
landing on a shoal about three
miles from where she originally
was.
After the Willis went ashore
she almost i'm mediately FLIED
with water and sand, causing
those on board to be forced on
deck and to secure themselves
in the rigging.
Mr.. Geo. Buckman. of Wash>
ington, was drowned, while
Henry Blango, colored, the
cook, on Friday died On deck
from exhaustion and was washed

The Lake Drummond Canal
Opened.

The Lake Drummond Canal
and Water Company wish to
give notice that the Old Dismal
Swamp Canal route between
Norfolk and Elizabeth City is
now open for business-and the
tug boat will leave every other
day except Sunday commen~
cling August 18th, making trips
as follows: Leaves Norfolk
Mondays. Wednesdays and Fri>
pays. Returning, leaves Eliza>
beth City, Tuesdays, Thursdays
and SATURDAYS.
The Canal Company insures
nine feet of water at present
time between The locks, and in
a few weeks they will have ten
feet of water in the canal. The
Company has dredged fifteen
feet in depth for distance of
three thousand feet below the
locks in Deep Greek. They
have also made deep water be-
low South Mills locks, in the
waters of the Pasquotank rive,.
The Cana. Company has dred-
eed the old Turner Cut to the
depth of ten feet at low water.
Thus tar the Canal Com pany
can insure a sufficient depth of
water.
The Canal Company would
not at present guarantee a safe
passage between Norfolk and
Elizabeth City for boats draw
ing more than seven and half
feet of Water-as the Pasquotank
has one shoal place. ard Deep
Creek at low water has not more
than seven and a half feet at
the present time.
The government has appro-
priated money to deepen and
widen Deep Creek and also to
deepen and straighten the wa
terway of the Pasqu>tank river.
This work is to commence at
once. The Company in the
meantime intend TO improve
and widen the cana and in the
near future the Canal Company
believe that they will have a
canal and waterway between
the points named tnat cannot be |
excelled in this country.

pushed her further on, where
she lay humping, with the gale
still increasing. There she lay
for an hour or so, when she Wen
over the shoal into the deep wa
ter again, about 8 p. IN. 1t wa:
again impossible with all steam
on to hold her head to the
wind.
After consultation between
Captain Davis and MI. Wallace
it was concluded to beach the
steamer at the first point they
could reach while holding north
and west. at the mouth of Pam
lico River or any other land, rs
they could not tell where they
then were. OF course nc land
was visible. 1t was still inn
possible to see the length of the
steamer even. After rolling
frightfully from 8 until I1:15 at
night, she brought up solid on a
sandy bottom, we knew not
where, not being able to see any
thing, not even merely whether
it was merely a shoal or some
shore, The engines were kept
going to hold her in place, until
it was seen she did not move
and lay comparatively easy.
About 2::3o a. m, the sea seemed
to get a little quieter, and the
passengers were able to take
some rest.
Friday morning at $ o'clock
it began to get little lighter,
and the bow of the steamer was
then seen to be upon the edge of
a sedge marsh, the tide covering
the land and almost overtopping
the high grass. But we still
did not know whether it was
mainland or an island. In the
afternoon, when the storm had
begun to abate somewhat and
the sky to clear, we found that
we were ashore On a point of
marsh land outside of a place
called Mouse Harbor, On the
Beaufort county shore, about
three miles southwest from PAM
lico lighthouse. About 1o:4s
Thursday night we had passed
close to that light, but could not
tell whether it was the light>
house or vessel lying at an
chor.
Saturday morning early, after
the Captain and officers consult
ed With the passengers, it was
decided to make way to the
nearest telegraph station, which
was Belleport, the southern ter
minus of the Norfolk and South
ern Railroad, On the Pungo
river, a distance of about twen~
ty miles from where we lay.
Captain Davis and Mr.. Wallace
lowered a boat and proceeded
toward the lighthouse, near
which they overhauled a small
schooner which had been driven
into Mouse Harbor. They got
the captain of this schooner to
take them to Belleport, to tele~
graph for assistance. At the
mouth of Pungo River they met
the Tar River, of the Old Do>
minion Line, on its way to
Belleport. They boarded her
and reached Bellepo1t about
1880 a. m. Here they secured
the assistance of Mr.. M. K.
King, general manager of the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad.
We left the stranded steamer
lying perfectly level, about 500
yards from deep water, and en-
tirely uninjured.
