SOUTHERN SHIPPING.
Sentiment Regarding It's Restora-
ton to the Seas.
National Aid Viewed with Favor by
Shippers of the SOuth-Advan-
tages of Trade with 9th
er Republics.

The rapid growth of manufacturing
in the south, and its beneficial effect
upon other industries, are arousing
in the minds of the people new
thoughts and hopes for the future OF
their great section of the union. One
of the most reliable authorities on
southern progress and development
is r. II. Edmonds, the well-known Bal
timore publisher, who keeps in con-
slant personal touch with the up-to-
date sentiment of the leading manu-
facturers, bankers and influential men
of the south. 1t is his repeated dec
laration, and as a result of his own
observations, that the southern bust
ness men are almost unit in favor OF
national aid in the establishment OF
our ships upon the seas. He finds the
sentiment among men representative
of southern industrial anu commercial
progress quite at variance with that
disclosed by their representatives and
senator's in congress. The latter seem
to represent theoretical opposition
to the utilization of modern methods
for the advancement of industrial
prosperity that has kept back south
ern development for fully a genera
ton. In the foreign trade of the
United States, as conducted between
southern and foreign ports, one of the

THE OLDEST BRIDE.
Mrs. Samuel Decker Married at the
Age of Ninety-Eight.
She and Her Young Husband Give q
Modest Exposition of Their Love
I'm Their Little Home Near
Waterloo, N. Y.

AT the age of % Mrs. Samuel Decker
is bride. If there is an older bride
in The world the news will be a great
disappointment to her. for she is proud
of her distinction.
Like many other ladies of mature
years. she allowed the tender sentiment
TO be awakened by n man young enough
to be her SON. The bridegroom is a
stripping of rs.
II couldn't bear to marry an old
man." said Mrs. Decker to a New York
World correspondents. They say a
woman is as old as she looks, and man
is as young as he feels. Well, Samuel
says l don't look day over so. Maybe
that's just lovers talk. He won me
over that way when we began sparkin'
And he said he felt every bit of IS, what
with the rheumatic and the asthma. So
that makes our ages just right,
don't it?''
And the happy bride displayed her
gums in a coeuettish smile.
The Deckers are giving their modest
exposition of love in a cottage at a
point midway between the villages of
Waterloo and Clyde, N. Y, within the
town limits of Tyre. They have an
acre of land, tiny apple orchard and
little brown dwelling. Mrs. Decker
has lived there 40 years and has buried
two husbands from the little brown
dwelling.
She was born in Onondaga county,
eight miles east of Syracuse, on Novem-
Der 81. 1902. She had two brothers, both
of whom fought in the war of 1912. Her
father. Godfrey Reels. a pioneer hunt
er and trapper. did much bartering
with the Onondaga Indians, with whom
he was on friendly terms.
In 1882. after the death of her par
ents, Miss Reels became the wife of

tering the United States, anu that for
elgn commerce was causing cities of
other states to flourish while south
ern cities were falling into decay"
Lieut.. NJ. f. Maury, famous for his
invaluable aids to mariners upon the
oceans, was impressed with the
immense benefits southern states
would derive from the establishment of
steamship lines between southern and
European ports. For many years &c
urged the investment of southern cap
ltal in such lines, showing the great
and growing power her rich foreign
commerce was giving to New York,
and deploring the fact that the south
was missing its opportunities to share
therein. He saw for Norfolk, Va, pos
sibilities of development which have
never been realized, but which it seems
possible are likely of fuIfillment
through the growing scarcity of Euro
pean coal and the inevitable depend
ence of the world in the future for the
greater part of its coal supplies upon
the United States. In our trade with
other American republics Lieut.. Maury
saw advantages even greater than
those possible through our CONNER
cial intercourse with Europe, and he
was never done urging upon the peo-
pie of the south the wisdom of gen.
erously encouraging American mari
time development through the estab-
Ashment of steamship lines to the West
Indies, Central and South America. He
advocated ship canal across the
American isthmus and predicted enor-
mously beneficial results to our trade
and shipping to follow.

Brainerd was not all her fancy had

Soonacquiring a reputation as a speak
er of wonderful power. and marvellous
flexibility of language, Mr.. Woolley
was sought upon all occasions in pro-
hibition and temperance work. Since
lsSS he has, on an average, made one
speech a day. In the fall of 1892 he
went to England as the guest of Lady
Somerset, and spoke nearly every day
during seven months in the cities of
England, Scotland and Wales. The
next year he was engaged by the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor

cause of the sectional differences be-
tween the north and south. The scheme
involved the immediate construction of
four ships of the Great Eastern class,
to regularly run between southern and
European ports. Their great value as
auXiliaries to our military resources
were then clearly pointed out, as well
as their usefulness as nurseries for
American seamen who would be ready
to respond to their country's cal if
needed. No wonder, in these circum-
stances, Mr.. Edmunds in his speech
made it very clear that the revival of
our foreign going shipping is not Sec
tional or partisan question, but is a
purely Industrial, commercial and aux
iliary naval question. He said: Orig
mating. as the south is already doing,
ports a year, shipped. almost exclusive
ly in vessels that fly the British, Ger
man and other foreign flags, the south
may well be deeply concerned in the
upbuilding of merchant marine be-
cause of the magnitude of its present
export trade" This trade he expected
would rapidly multiply, and he pre-
dicted cotton crop in the not distant
future of 100, 100000 bales.
1t is not surprising to find that both
of the great political parties are now
wing with each other in their espousal
of an American merchant marine. That
the representative men in both parties
have formally and finally rejected the
suggestion of ''free ships"-which
means the purchase of British instead
of American-built ships for our mari
time needs-may be taken as an indi-
cation of both the conservatism and
progressiveness which augurs well for
early effective and permanent legisla-
ton in behalf of our too long neglected
shipping upon the seas. 1t is this una
nimity of ointment that is converg-
ing upon demand for such legislation
that will have become so insistent and
imperative as to compel such legisla-
ton at the next session of congress.

rarest sights is the American flag
floating from the sterns OF the ships
conducting that trade. That the de-
mand has grown in the south for ma
tional legislation for the upbuilding
of our merchant marine seems to Mr..
Edmonds to be logical. He sees in the
realization of the growing hopes of
his people in this respect much of
permanent benefit to the section he
represents. He has made an especial
study of ante-bellum sentiment on the
subject of American maritime devel-
opment, and was surprised to find
that as far back as SO years ago the
sentiment in favor of safeguarding
and promoting our merchant marine
commanded the thoughtful attention
of the most advanced of southern
statesmen and business men. In an
address before the Cotton Spinners'
association, at Charlotte, North Caro-
lima, recently, Mr.. Edmonds stated
that in 1S45 John &. Calhoun presided
at a convention in Memphis at which
the subject was discussed. In 1851 a
report was made at Virginia con-
vention in favor of facilitating the
mails through the establishment of
steamship lines running between
Hampton Roads and European ports.
Another convention in Memphis, held
in 1853, favored government encour-
agement and protection in the estab-
lisflment of steamship lines between
southern and European ports. The
Charleston convention OF 1854 urged
congress to encourage the establish
ment of mail steamships, even to the
extent of granting state bounties in
the form of rebates to shippers en-
ploying American vesse4s. In 1856
Louisiana's legislature passed an act
paying SIS per ton bounty on all ships
exceeding 100 tons burden built in
the state. A report made to the legis-
lature of Alabama as far back as 1888
showed that her citizens contributed
S1,S00,O00 year to get their cotton
to Europe, and contained the query:
IF this amount must be paid, why
should it not be paid to our own cit
izens?" No wonder score of years
later Alabama's legislature passed an
act granting bounty of 81 per ton
on all steamers built within that
state.
At Charleston, in 1859, Robert Y.
Hayne discussed the subject before a
commercial convention neld in that
city, in which he said that southern
and southwestern states were pro-
ducing nearly three-quarters of the
domestic exports of the union, al
though importing not to exceed one
tenth of the foreign merchandise en-
