her liquor laws, but II they want to pro-
mote temperance. they are on tho wrong

the Aycock- Simmons-W Watts anti-liquor
bill. This is the first knockout for the
Morally Stunted. The bill will doubtless
pass, and then will come up the London
bill, which in effect provides for State
prohibition This will not have such
smooth sailing. and 1t is likely that 1t
will be materially modified before 1t be-
comes a law, but the Pure in Heart are

1t is now understood among faith
full Republicans that the extra SEES
sion of Congress to. be held next
month will be devoted exclusively
to legislation, making effective the
Cuban reciprocity treaty. There is
no probability of any currency Leg
islation at the extra session. The
Aldrich Committee have not yet
been able to agree upon a report
which would probably pass both
houses. Indeed there is some hope
held out that the extra session will
be able to finish it's business and adj
journ before Thanksgiving Day, but
we doubt it. The discussion of ere
ciprocity'' quite naturally will bring
up the tariff question and when
members once strike that subject
there's no telling when they will
stop talking.

BIG CANALS OF THE WORLD.

Before the railroad era was inaug-
urated, canals were the favorite
means of communication, and as the
population increases in various parts
of the world canals seems to be re-
gaining, to some extent at least, lost
ground. Germany is especially ac-
tive in such works, and the expendi-
ture Of 500, Don, 900 on the Erie ca
nal will come before the voters of
New York next month.
Not including one in China 700
miles long, the great canals Of the
world are nine in number, namely:
/. The Suez canal, begun in 1859
and compiled in 1869.
2. The Cronstadt and St. Peters
burg canal, begun in 1877 and COM
pleted in 1890.
3. The Corinth canal, begun in
1884 and completed in 1898.
4. The Manchester ship canal,
completed in 1894.
5. The Kaiser Welhelm canal,
connecting the Baltic and North
seas, completed in 1895.
6. The Elbe and Trave canal,
connecting the North e and Baltic,
opened in 1900.
Z. The Welland canal, connect
ing lake Erie with lake Ontario.
8 and 8. The two canals, United
States and Canada, respectively, con-
Meeting lake Superior and lake HUI
ron.
The canals at the 500 are short,
but their tonnage exceeds that OF
any other canal in the world, nearly
TRIPPING that of the Suez canal,
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1903-10-15

which cost 500, OO0, 900. Manches-
ter has been made a seaport by its
canal, and Hamburg has become a
great commercial city largely
through the advantages derived from
the canal system of Germany. If
New York votes next month to ex-
pend $1O1, 600, 900 on its canal, 352
miles long, there will be an inland
waterway from the great lakes to the
sea nine feet deep. This will make
it the tenth canal of the world.

country. Is said to be negotiating for

although the Cape Breton coal also

Prominent coal dealers in New York

CURES CHRONIC CATARRH.
Hyomei Cures Worst Forms Of This Di
sease in any Part Of the System.

1t is the height of folly to continue
doctoring a catarrhal disease by stom-
ach dragging, when the whole trouble
lies in the respiratory organs, where
nothing can reach the germs but a To-
cal direct treatment by inhalation.
Hyomei is Natures remedy for the
cure of catarrh. just breathe it a
few times daily, and it will effect a
cure.
The medicated dry air that goes
through the air passages. and into the
lungs when Hyomei is breathed
through the inhaler that accompanies
every outfit, is rich in ozone, purely
vegetable and filed with marvellous
healing and strengthening qualities.
If you are tired of stomach drug
ging, and seem TO grow weaker all
the time, throw physic to the dogs"
and get well with the health-giving
Hyomei treatment that is Natures
own method.
Rev. j. b. Cook, of Holliston, Mass,
says: MY wife has suffered greatly
from catarrh for fifteen years. Nearly
four weeks ago she commenced to use
Hyomei, and the beneficial effect was
immediate. 1t is very seldom that she
needs to clear her head and throat,
and she is able to rest quietly at
night. For years past she had been
troubled with pain in her limbs, which
we supposed was rheumatism, but
since she has used Hyomei that at
Fiction has disappeared"
Feldmeyer Brothers will return
your money if Hyomei does not cure
you of catarrh. This shows their
faith in the remedy.

SHORTER MISSISSIPPI ROUTE.
A Canal 20 Avoid the Rapids Near
Rock Island Is Projected and
Declared Feasible.

A canal is being projected by we'll
known men of Whiteside county, ILL.,,
TO run along the Illinois banks of the
Mississippi river from Fulton to the
three cities of Moline, Rock Island
and Davenport to avoid the danger
Gus rapids in the Mississippi above
Rock Island and also to shorten the
distance by water from Clinton to
Davenport, Ia, by about 70 miles.
The canal as projected would leave
the Mississippi at Fulton. run east IL
miles to Rock river. near Lyndon. and
then south to the, Hennepin canal,
which was constructed three years
ago and enters the Mississippi near
Milan. The new waterway would vir-
tualIy be changing of the course
of the Mississippi. making 1t flow
more nearly straight south, shorten
ing distances at least 100 miles be-
tween large cities on the river and
avoiding the dangers to navigators at
Rock Island, where the United states
has spent thousands of dollars.
Engineers who have examined and
surveyed the route declare it feasi-
BILE and say that when completed the
canal will be one of the great inland
WATERWAYS of the middle west and
mark an epoch in the revival of traffic
from st. Paul to Peoria and points on
the Illinois river by making them &C.
cessible through the Hennepin canal.
