Our Western Trade Shut Off.

The necessity TO the south OF build
ing an isthmian canal was never more
torcibly put than III the meeting re
Gently al Louisville OF the traalc men
OF the Western and Southeastern Irat-
fc Associations. 1t was shown there
that the abolition OF through billing
rates to the Pacific. requiring double
rating. had increased fre,ghts from the
southeast to san Francisco from an
average of sl45 to S167 per loo
pounds and that this had resulted IN
the suspension OF westward shipments
from southeastern mills. Ninety cot
ton mills on the Southern railway lines
were reported as thus affected and
many OF them, whose trade IS WIN me
oriental countries, nave been Obliged
Ia shut down The extra freight rate
destroys their margin Of profit.
Another meeting is to be held in At
lanta soon in an endeav0r To secure
such rates as viii enable the southern
mills TO resume their tr.,nsc0ntinental
and trans Pacific shipn ents. But il
must not be forgotten thai the western
roads are largely contrC He'd by New
ENGLAND directors and lat II is to
their interest TO make Nv through
rates from Boston TO 'F-lsco for the
cotton goods OF that region and not es-
sential to them to handle the compe-
ti,ive goods OF our Carolina and Geor-
gia mills.
Here is another reason why our
southern representatives. in congress
should make the canal question a par
amount issue in the coming extra and
regular sessions Nothing will ever
give the south fair deal III the Pacific
trade but the building OF the isthmian
canal.

Value Of Strong Convictions.

Men who do things, who achieve
results, have strong convictions
They believe something in partic.
ular and believe it without reserva.
ton. A man who is willing t9
fight for an idea, to sacrifice every
thing in order to develop il has
something definite in his life, a
specific certainty that will bring
him out somewhere in the neigh
borhood of success.
A man without a policy, without
a strong conviction of any kind,
who believes little of everything
and not much of anything, who is
willing, upon pressure, to relin-
quish his opinion on any subject
to abandon any idea he has con
ceived, whether it be feasible OF
not, who does not hold on to any
one thing tonaciously, with a
death grip, as it we're, will never
accomplish much in this world

FLOOR or PACIFIC OCEAN.

IL the waters of the Pacific
could be drained there would be
revealed a vast stretch OF terrific.
~ comprising enormous plateaus,
great valleys fer which no parallel
exists on the land surface lofty
mountains, beside which the Hi
milayas and Andes would look like
hills, and tremendous hollows OF
basins, only to be compared with
those on the face of the moon.
While there are great mountains
and huge basins, the plateau areas
are by far the most extensive.
Relatively speaking, the floor of
the Pacific as now at last revealed
on the plateau areas is level.
There are fluctuations and depres-
sions, but the general area is near
the same depth below the sur
face.

and lie about your pigeon-toed
daughters tacky wedding, and
and blow about your big-footed
sons when they get four dollar q

yelled soul when it is released
