Morgan Talks on the Canal.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, ID. C., April Flor more
than four hours today Mr.. Morgan Gala.
Chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commit
tee, addressed the Senate on the subject
OF the Nicaragua Canal. He devoted the
greater part of his speech to a consid-
tra.ion Of the desirability and practica-
bility OF the two principal route-Nicara-
qua and Panama He strenuously favored
the former, maintaining that in every
possible respect it had many advantages
over the Panama route.
i parliamentary change in the situa-
ton OF the Chinese Exclusion Bill was
made just before adjournment, the meas
ure passed by the Senate yesterday being
substituted for the House Bill. This was
done to expedite the bill in the House.
Mr.. Morgan said in part:
The subject presents itself to my mind
with conclusive force in the six PROPOSE
tons / will now state:
Il. We have reached the point where
investigation is complete by observation,
experience, scientific research and fore
cast.
1.-The qestion now to be decided is
the choice of either of two routes for a
canal: whether it shall be located at Pan
anna. or through the valley of the San
Juan River in Nicaragua and Costa
Rica.
g. The controlling factor in making
this selection is the assurance OF sue
cess in constructing a canal that will be
permanently useful for commerce.
"A. sum OF mons = necessary for ex-
peEditure in the work OF constructing
such a canal, to accomplish such ends
cannot be reasonably compared with the
real value OF the results 10 the people Of
the United States and the choice of eth
er route, should not be controlled or af-
fected by difference in the present cost
of construction, l will say, within a limit
OF even s5o,Ooo,0O
-. The assured certainty of success in
the construction Of a permanent canal.
is of necessity the basic or foundation
fact upon which Congress must act in the
selection of the canal route. Considered
as a simple proposition OF civil engin-
eering there is no doubt-not even a
shadow Of doubt as to any fact touching
the practicability of ship canal from
Creytown TO Brito, in and and along the
San Juan River and across Lake Mica
II ID CefNdLis btEOBu d Ttd5budbl
doubt, that its cost is as nearly within
the limits OF exact estimates as any great
public work that was ever undertaken.
&c. If the dam at Bohio, on the Panama
route should fail for any cause, the only
hope of a canal across that isthmus would
perish never to be restored. All engin-
GERS admit this fact. The failure Of a
dam at Conchuda or Boca San Carlos or
al Ochoa or at Tamborgrunde or at any
other site on the San Juan River would
only mean the loss fthat structure. to
be replaced on a better location IL a
lake level canal IS preferred
Mr. Morgan maintained that the 18TH
milan Canal Commission had no authority
to accept an offer of the Panama Canal
Company and that the sole duty OF the
President was to determine the route
ne would recommend to Congress. II
rested entirely with Congress whether or
not it should accept the "glittering temp
tation" in the way of a bargain offered
by the Panama Company.

PRESIDENT GEO. WINSTON SPEAKS
ON DUB INDUSTRIAL FUTURE
We Must Build Upon Natural Foundations,
We Must Rely Upon Ourselves TO De-
velop Our State

In response to an invitation Of the
Board Of Aldermen and the Trustees of
the Graded School of Burlington. Presi-
dent Geo T. Winston addressed the citi-
zens Of Burlington last night on the
Industrial Future OF North Carolina. -
He discussed the industrial development
OF the State under three propositions:
!. We must build upon natural foun-
, dations and grow along lines already es-
tablished, multiplying, enlarging and ex-
tending existing industries.
?. We must rely upon ourselves TO de-
Velop our own State without expecting
much help from outsiders, either in capt.
tai or labor
3. The youth Of the State must be prop
erly educated for its industrial develop
ments.
Taking up these propositions seriatim.
ne showed that agriculture is naturally
our greatest industry; that intensive ag-
liculture must take the place of extern
siXe; that the one crop system must yield
20 diyersihcatiOn that tools. machinery
and intelligent labor must supplant mere
muscle and drudgery; that our bright
boys must be educated TO stay on the
farm and not to run away from it; that
labor must be made honorable BY max
ing it skiIlful and profitable: that nature
study, agriculture and manual training
should be taught in our public schools.
especially in the rural schools; and that
industrial education, if incorporated in
our public schools, will work a revo-
luton in a single generation.
He showed that outside capital has
never come into North Carolina except to
share the profits Of industries already
well established; that outside labor has
come in only at exorbitant wages to do
work which lack of skill prevents our
own youth from doing; that we have given
far more to outsiders than we are likely
TO ever receive from them; that our
watchword should be, North Carolina &
resources belong to North Ca-olinians. and
the youth Of North Carolina should be
educated to develop and possess them -
He pronounced Alamance county to be
in many respects the banner county of
the State in variety of industries, in
value of land per acre in improved az
Ficulture, in stock raising, fruit growing
and grass and grain culture-"Alamance
is a little miniature Of North Carolina. -
he said, cit represents the best things
in the State and points out the lines OF
future progress,-not the least Of the
good things in Alamance county is the
recently established Burlington Graded
School under the SUPPLEMENTARY of Prof
Frank H. Curtis. Prof Curtis is 4 great
organizer. a live teacher, a wonderful
sympathizer with boys. Give him the
means, and he will make a fine school
here with a great industrial department
in 1t and will educate boys AMI girls
who will some day he industrial leaders"

something Of that kind. He stated that
Woods salary was far too small for his
actual needs. and represented him as
having expended millions Of public
funds without diverting a dollar Of them
to his own use. He pictured the gen.
erals service as able, conscientious, pa
triotic and intelligent to a degree. He
claimed that the general completely
sacrificed his personal interests to the
interest of the people of the island. He
said Governor Taft was making sacri-
flee of his personal fortune and life
time ambition to become an associate
Justice of the supreme court, in order
that he might do a work for the Philip

able of doing, and he represented Root

labors and that he proposes to do to
the last ditch, If need be.

NEELY IN JAIL.

Mr.. John G. Neely, who was so badly
wanted by numerous individuals in
York county on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses in connec-
tion with his operations as agent OF the
United Mutual Life Insurance company,
is in the county Jail. He was arrested
at Polkton, N. c., on Thursday after
noon and brought back to Yorkville
yesterday morning by Sheriff Logan.
During Wednesday, Magistrate Bar
ron received a telegram from Magis-
trate E. S. kedfearn, at Peachland, N.
c., saying Nicely was there, and asking
whether he was wanted. Magistrate
Barron turned the telegram over to
Sheriff Logan, who instructed Magis-
trate Redfearn to have Nicely arrested
at once, and he would receive reward
of $25. Information Of the arrest came
shortly afterward, and Sheriff Logan
got his man at Wadesboro, N. c.
Upon his arrest at Polkton, Mr.. Nicely
told the authorities that surely there
was some mistake; that he was not
wanted in Yorkville; that he had left
there only a few days before and had
told the deputy sheriff goodbye at the
depot. When Sheriff Logan arrived,
Neely told him that he did not run away
from Yorkville; that he had passed the
sheriff in the street as he passed out
o. town, and that 1t was his intention
to return in day or two.
It has developed in connection with
the matter that Nicely was engaged to
be married to a lady who lives about
four miles from Peachland, and that the
ceremony was to have been performed
Thursday night. When advised of the
arrest Of her prospective husband, the
lady, who Is IN bad health anyway, Is
said to have collapsed to such an ex-
tent that it was necessary to send for
physician.
Immediately upon his arrival In York.
Vile, Nicely had conference with Mag
istrate Barron, and decide to waive
preliminary examination at least until
he could secure counsel. He was ac-
cordingly taken to Jail. He insists that
he has been guilty Of no offense against
the law, and also that it was never his
intention to run away from Yorkville;
that he would have been back within a
few days upon his own motion.

THE Spartanburg Herald, which was
formerly for McLaurin, has come out
for John Gary Evans. The Journal
The Herald's afternoon contemporary,
has all along been an Evans "organ.'
This paper also had way Of claiming
that the McLaurin papers, or "organs, u
as it was pleased to call them, were all
working for hire. It would be interest
ing to have it express its opinion of its
contemporary, The Herald, at this time,
We would like to know whether it was
really honest in thinking that The Her
aid was formerly bought by McLaurin
and If so why it is not as reasonable
to assume that it is now in the pay OF
Evans. And we are not disposed to
suppress our curiosity at this point. If
there is any wrong in selling news
papers influence, we would like to know
whether the offense Of the seller is
greater than the buyer. We would also
be pleased to know whether 1t Is less
sin for Evans to buy papers than 1T was
| for McLaurin. Of course we do moi
want our contemporary to understand
that we are making any charges. OF
even insinuations. We are not seeking
to reflect at all upon The Herald. When
| it was supporting McLaurin, we
thought we saw how it could be influ-
enced by other than sordid motives
| We are able to concede that under
changed conditions it can be just as
sincere and patriotic in it's support OF
Evans. At the same time, however, we
submit that, under the circumstances
these reflections upon the attitude OF
The Journal to such matters are al
warranted by sound logic and are not
to be dismissed by that paper as mere
"impudence." AS to whether or not The
Journal was ever controlled by anybody
other than it's editor, we do not know
| The idea never occurred to us until ii
began to make such insinuations with
regard to other papers. and then, we
confess we were strongly reminded OF
an axiom that Senator M. G. Butler laid
down in a stump speech in this county
few years ago. 1t ran like this:
when you hear one individual Inn
pugn the motives of another Individual
without furnishing the proof, you may
safely lay it down that if given the OPP
portunity, the individual prefering such
charges would, himself, unhesitatingly
commit all the offenses charged" This
also sounds like good logic; but still we
are not making any charges against
The Journal. AS a matter of fact, we
have never had any idea that that pa
per had sold out because, among other
things, we have not been able to con-
ceive what anybody would want to buy
it for.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

Some of the Features That Are In
teresting Enough to Excite Second
Thought.
Mr.. Hemphill thinks that If Messrs.
Latimer and Elliott were really as able
and efficient representatives as they are
claiming to have been, they ought to
remain in the house.
Working the farmer" idea for all 1t
is worth, Mr.. Latimer has been seeking
to prejudice the people against the
availability Of lawyers as representa-
tives. At Darlington, Wednesday, Mr..
Henderson brought out the fact that
Mr.. Latimer's eldest son Is preparing
himself for the profession Of law.
At Beaufort, Wednesday, Jim Tillman
made a point against Heyward's cam
paign button, claiming that they put
DR.. Zimmerman at an unfair disad-
vantage.
Hon. John Gary Evans complains that
unless the attendance on the campaign
meetings improves, the selection Of pub
| lie officials will be left to the newspa-
pers.
Mr.. John J. Hemphill seems to be
making a steady gain in the estimation
Of the voters, and many Of his friends
are beginning to hold to the claim that
If he gets in the second race he will
certainly be nominated.
Mr.. J. C. Wilborn Is catching 1t right
and left. All the other seekers after
the job recognize that he is the man
they have to beat, and they are giving
1t to him for all they are worth. There
does not seem to be any special reason
for believing that any Of the other can
didates are any more competent than
Mr.. Wilborn, or that they would re-
frain from doing the things they charge
him with doing. Their combined ef-
forts, however, Is likely to make an i'm
preston on his support. If people gen.
orally understood how to take cam
paign thunder, it would be different
maybe; but they are disposed too much
to consider the alleged shortcomings OF
candidate attacked rather than the
motive Of such attacks.
