WASHINGTON LETTER.

The bill recently introduced
in the House of Representative
and passed by Congress June 6
making provision for emergeu'
cies in river and harbor works
and for certain surveys, contains
two very important items for the
First Congressional District.
The act provides that the
Secretary Of War is authorized
to cause preliminary examine
tons to be made: First, "With
2 view of obtaining a navigab1e
depth Of IS feet at mean low
water from South Mills, on Pas
quotank river, thence down Pas
quotank river, through Able
marie sound, Croatan sound,
Parn1ico sound and Core sound
to Beaufort Inlet, including also
cost of procuring navigable
depth of IS feet through Beau
fort and IS feet through Ocra~
coke Inlet respectively"
Second, "With the view Of
improving the bar at the mouth
of Scuppernong river, to the end
that the channel be dredged
1900 feet long, $50 feet wide.
with 9 feet depth at mean low
tide"
The first itern is a matter of
extreme Importance to all East
ern North Carolina and is in
line with the long cherished
project of providing an inland
waterway along the North Caro-
lima coast of sufficient depth to
accommodate all the traffic
which would seek it, and which
would result in avoiding the
dangers of Cape Hatteras and
other points On the coast of

IN MEMORIAM

transient dream, whose deeds
history's pages crown, and
Times great volume make-and
then the waking! Midst the
Isweet repose and unbroken
quiet, when life's favored rose
promises to be more fragrant,
and brighter hopes are dawning
OH the early morn of youth, the
lone supreme summons is given,
which must sometime come to
all-Thy work is finished, rest.
The dark curtain is drawn
and life's short story is ended
here; the pen ceases to long r
write the biography Of our
earthly career.
Deaths whitening hand pla>
ces its cold icy finger upon the
living cheek, and claims the
victim, as its own; bids it to
sleep the peaceful sleep that
knows no waking; and makes
hearts grow sad at the depart
ure.
Last Monday, just as the sun
mer sun was nearing her West
ward ho." and the cooler shades
of evening were gathering into
silent night, the serenity and
happiness of Our whole commu
nifty was suddenly broken and
overshadowed by a cloud of
the most heartrending sorrow
and sadness.
The death angel visited our
midst and without any warning
at all, snapped the golden cord
of life and took from us one
of Our dearest, we'll beloved
and christian friends, Mr.. AM
thony H. Godfrey, of Belcross,
aged about As. The sad news Of
his sudden death was quickly
spread over this entire locality.
1t was a shocking surprise to
every one, as he appeared per-
fectly well until only a few
hours before his death.
He was at church Sunday.
seeming to be just IS cheerful
and happy as ever, with tle
rose Of health bloomir g On his
cheek.
But alas! he is no more. The
message came; he answered the
call, and his spirit was waited
from this "Earthly Tabernacle"
across the mystical stream, only
to be transported into Heav
en- to stand before the great
Judge, and receive his glitter
ing crown Of reward.
He was a faithful and devout
christian; with him religion
was All experience. His pious,
unsel6sh, godly life is his eulogy,
and his loving christian inhu>
ence is our beacon to guide us
where the weary ones rest,
"In the bosom of Jesus supreme,
In mansions of glory prepared for
the blest."
He died with out any relatives,
but it can be Well said that he
had friends innumerable, and
all who knew him loved him.
We all keenly feel the loss
that we have sustained in his
death, and the writer can "Weep
with those that weep" in sor-
row for our dear departed friend,
whose cheerful smile we shall
never see again, while we tread
down life's dusty road.
Our friend was loved by one,
with love that knows no changing
with the passing of the years.
One young life hath blighted
hopes, but still she can reme1n-

fiction sincere,

tribute of respect,

Strive to look beyond "The Valley"
where his weary feet have crossed.

Rev. J. E. r. R:dick is less nervous than

Several ministers have visited Mr.. Rid

one as to the real cause of the shooting,
but claims he will prove himself justified
at the trial.
The people residing in the neiGhborhood
of the tragedy condemn the action of Mr..
Riddick. and are anxious to know why
he does not speak out and give the real
nature of the alleged insult.

fact The tcredit OF the United States is
undoubtedly al. but the reason Why our
per cent. bonds have been commanding
such a premium is because. there has
been brisk demand for them from the
national banks of the country TO be used
by rhe banks as basis of circulation.
without such demand these bonds would
have sold as 2 per cent. bonds have sold
for some time past, at a little above par.
Wait until the brisk demand for these;
bonds Is over; wait until the national.
banks have supplied themselves. and the.
price Will drop. That is wherein the new
currency system Is defective. So long as
the government permits no securities
save United States bonds to be employed
by the banks as basis of circulation,
just so long will It bo difficult for the
banks to make their circulation pay.
Whenever there is an abnormal demand
for currency, then bonds will be high.
but as soon as the demand ds over and
the banks desire to retire their notes and
sell their bonds. then the price of bonds
will drop.
