PANAMA CANAL DELAY.
Seems to Be No Prospect of an Early
 Agreement With Colombia.

Seems to Be No Prospect of an Early
 Agreement With Colombia.
 Philadelphia Press.
 The Colombian government seems co be following very short-sighted course in regard to the Panama Canal. Its demand for $l0000,0O0 payment by the United states at the start is absurb. Senator Morgan is going to try and pass reso- lution directing the President to enter in- to negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but. Ii is improbable that he will succeed. The President can do that now and if he does not do so 1t is because he has good reason for delay.
 The offer of the French Panama Canal Company for the sale of it's property ex- pires on March 1, but a renewal will probably be easily obtained. If Colombia showed any proper interest in the matter there would be no need of delay. Noth- ing can be done with Colombia until its Congress can meet and pass upon the subject. There has been no meeting Of must be chosen, and the Colombian gov ernment has so arranged matters that when chosen 1t will not meet in time for the United States Congress to take ac- ton before adjournment on March 4.
 A treaty will have to be ratified by the Senate at Washington. but Colombia does not appear to care about that, evidently believing that in time the United States will pay what Colombia demands. This gives strength to the Nicaraguan advo- cates, but not sufficient to induce Con- gress to take action In favor of the Nicaragua route The volcanoes have al- most taken Nicaragua out of considera- ton in connection with the canal.

macy and statesmanship and of war. The remaining brothers in North Carolina served as Governor, Federal Senator and Supreme Court Judge.
 As early as 1851 wheeler's History of North Carolina, page Al, says: Hon. John Bragg, now of Mobile, is native of Warren. He was educated at the Uni- versity of North Carolina, and graduated in 1874, in a distinguished class, Of which James W. Bryan, Thomas Dews, W. A. Graham, Matt E. Manley, and others, were members. He read law with Judge Hall, and entered the Legislature of North Carolina in 1s3O, and served four continuous terms. He removed to Mo- bile, Ala, and has been judge of the su- perior courts there for many years; pre- siding with great credit to himself and satisfaction to the citizens of his adopt ed State. He is now QS5D a member of Congress from the hAobile District"
 Judge Braggs iIlustrious course, after this history was written, QS5l), Is famil- lar to all Alabamians. He was one of the superb figures in Congress representing the South in all that was good and best and noblest of its incomparable citizen ship; and the brilliancy of his career reached its zenith when the guns boomed out their stern notes of secession. John Bragg was a member of the memorable convention that carried Alabama out of the Union. He was a states-rights Dem- ocrat of the most vanant and uncom- promising type. He retained to the day of his death the absolute confidence of Alabama, and no man so eminent in the intricate affairs of his State ever went down to an honored grave. full of years. with so blamsless a public and private life.
 Of General Braxton Bragg the same eminent authority (Whesler) says: "He is a brother of Col. Braxton Bragg, who, with his artillery. saved the 0ay at Buena Vista, and distinguished himself in the Mexican war; and, also, brother Of Thomas Bragg. Esq, of Jackson, North ampton County, a member of the House of Commons in ls42, now q member of the Board of Internal Improvements of this State North Carolina.) North Carolina may bragg of these sons."
 When we remember that the distin- guished historian wrote these things in 1851, when the proud career of these gen. tlemen had but fairly started on their meteoric course, we may reflect on what a picture his matchless pen would have drawn of them at their highest mark.
 General Braxton Bragg was criticised for some of his acts while in command of one of the Confederate armies. But the great soldier knew his duty, and the light-the glorious light--of a warm heart, a noble nature, a good conscience. an innocent memory was never obscured to him. Calumny fell harmless at his feet. The light disslpated every cloud. and he lived openly and continually in It's benehcent rays; his breastplate, his shield, his armor was the hght--the truth. There was no darkness, no mys- tery--no shadow upon his bright stand- ard. I knew him well-as a boy knows great men.
 Death has cut short the rising careers, so full of promise. of several of the younger BraEgs: notably Braxton Bragg. of Mobile The future held out its ample bosom of promise to this noble young

MR. MANaUM,s sERMoN.
Large Congregation at Clayton Street
 Methodist Church.

Rsv. J. T. Mangum. the new pastor of the Clayton Street Methodist Church. preached his first sermon Sunday morn ing at Il o'clock to a large and attentive congregation.
 The text of the mornings discourse was taken from Corinthians vi 20. For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God's."
 The sermon was composed of sound doctrine and good advice and was deliver cd in a masterful way.
 The topic of the evenings sermon was '"The Life of Paul." and he handled the subject creditably and eloQuently.
 MT. Mangum came here from Jackson in the Mobile District. He Is a young man and Is considered a strong minister in every respect.
 He has already impressed his new con- gregation as such.

MR. TREDWAY's SERMON.
New Pastor of Baptist Church or
 Christian Growth"

New Pastor of Baptist Church on
 Christian Growth"
 Rev. R. F. Tredway. the new pastor of the Clayton Street Baptist church. preached his first sermon as pastor of the church at il o'clock Sunday morning to a large congregation.
 He Is. although young man, a speaker of magnetic personally and effective de- livery.
 Mir. Tredway chose as his theme Christian Growth"--his text being select cd from Ephesians iv:A ''That ye hence forth be no mere children tossed to and tro.''
 The sermon was delivered in three divis ions-first. Growth, the Christians Goal" Second-Hindrances to Growth" and third-'Heips to Growth
 Jesus Christ Is the measure of Chris tian manhood" said Mir. Tredway. We are to strive to be like him. Measuring by one another does not amount to much.
 You may be better than your fellow man, and still be unlike Christ
 1. Growth Is the Christians Coal There is 8 plant near the coast of the South Sea Islands which grows to . depth of two or three hundred feet. Alter bedding its roots firmly in the oceans bottom it grows into spear shaped leaves, and tries to reach the surface of &he wa- ter. That is the way of the Ideal chris tian life. Building on the firm roundation 1t strives to grow into the high and better life. Out of this comes the perfect char acter. This is a world of tmperfections- but we can come nearer perfection. 2 Hinderances to Growth.-That these exist no one can deny. Childishness is one of them. Being one thing today and something else tomorrow. Worldliness another. In . Northern city there Is a church which will have to be closed on account of the trolley cars. The pastor
 has resigned and the members are dis couraged because the cars make such a noise 1t ts impossible to have services.
 Many churches have been closed and Christians robbed of their good influence
 because of worldliness.
 3. Helps to Growth.-God has provided these. His Word. Prayer. Fellowship.
 One great help is sincerity. Speaking
 the truth in love-seeking to know Gods will Is another-co-operative working with God, and putting our strength together will aid us. Trials too. should be num- bered with the helps. These disappoint- | ments and dark hours often fit us for | great service and growth. Let us strive each day to grow like Jesus. Be never
 satisfied until he Is your model" These extracts rom the sermon merely serve to give an outline of the thoughts. Mir. Tredway preached . strong ser | mon at the evening services and a second large congregation was present Yesterday evening at 7:so o'clock praise service was held at the Clayton Street Baptist church and MT. Tredway an nounced that this week would be ob-
 served as . week of prayer. services be- ing held at the church each evening be- ginning at 7:30 o'clock

The property is situated on the corner of Greensboro Avenue and Sew enth Street. being the south half of the block on which the present court house stands. The location is an ideal one. and 1t is very Iobable that 1t will give gen. eral satisfaction. It was also decided by the Commissioners to put the ques- tion to vote Of the people as to whether the county erect a new court house. The Legislature will be asked to consider the r.atter as to when and how 1t can be done.

 He had not the wisdom and virtue of Macon-a master of argument; he was not like Graham. a model of dignity and learning; he had not the superb speech and grand passion of Mangum; he wanted the tenacious and Inexorable logic of Bragg, but in all his endowments, quail ities, faculties and attachments that make up tho orator and statesman, he was the equal of either"
 The above is an extract from an eulogy of Senator Ransom of North Carolina on the death of the matchless Vance; and the Bragg referred to was Thomas Bragg, who was in the Federal Senate when the clash of resounding arms was heard in our Southland, and who held nearly every high position of honor and trust within the gift of the people. There were, I think, i've brothers of this illus trious family in North Carolina. and three of them-to wit: Judge John Bragg Gen.
