by way of Wilmington. N. c., George
town, Charleston, Brunswick. Savan-
nah and Fernandina to Jacksonville,

by reason of the comparatively cheap
cost of construction, will ultimately be
provided.
"A waterway across the peninsula Of
Florida, connecting the Atlantic with
the Gulf, has been projected. and Of
fers no engineering difficulties. When
the State of New York shall have
enlarged and completed the Erie Ca
nal, connecting the City of Buffalo with
the Hudson river, a chain of water
ways will have been completed which
viii be potential in our future indus
trial growth. Through these water
ways which / have mentioned it would
be possible to start with a fleet OF
barges from Chicago to the Gulf,
thence across Florida; thence UP the
southern coast by way of the waterway
from Beaufort Inlet, n. c., to Chesa-
peake Bay; thence from Chesapeake
Bay to the Delaware river; from the
Delaware river TO the Raritan river;
thence via the metropolis of New
York up the Hudson river and through
the Erie Canal to the great lakes.
May | point out one of these which
appears to be of greater urgency and
importance. Our coastwise trade be-
tween the ports of the North Atlantic
and South Atlantic is now confined TO
a large class of steamships and sail
vessels which can give Cape Hatteras
and Diamond Shoals a wide berth.
This graveyard of the Atlantic stands
as an insuperable barrier to CONNER
cial intercourse between the North and
South. With the construction o. the
inland waterway from Norfolk, Va, 10
Beaufort Inlet, barge transportation
could be introduced and the states of
the South, with their boundlesS re-
sources, could participate very freely
in the commercial and industrial &C
tivity now enjoyed by other and more
favored sections of our country. As
one of the representative of that sec
ton of the South which is thus denied
its rightful and free opportunity OF
charging its water borne trade. /
wish to thank the Merchants ana
Manufacturers Association of this city
for their helpful cooperation in the
past.
Congress must recognize it's duty IN
the development of our interior water
ways and in affording the cheap trans
portation which is so essential 20 our
industrial activity and the promotion
of our domestic and foreign trade. ."

TIMELY NOTE OF WARNING.

On the occasion of the fiftieth ami
versary Of the Y. NJ. c. A. at Phila-
delphia on Sunday. the chief address
was delivered by ex-President Cleve>
land. In the course of his strong and
sensible address, he gave a rap to the
policy of conquest for America, and
warned those who heard him of the
danger in the dedication of war.
These extracts from the address Of
Mr. Cleveland ought to be read ana
pondered by every citizen:
I'm the complex relationships of
American life not one of us can live
and live dutifully to himself alone.
Clashing interests change conditions
and often wrong judgment or preju-
dice bring us all at times face to face
with disputes and controversies. 1t is
absolutely certain that in every such
case there is somewhere, more or less
easy of discovery. a factor of moral
ity and of justice and fair dealin~-
which when found should solve the
trouble.
at is in every way disappointing 20
see civilized men. as well as civilized
nations, evading the moral consider
atoms involved in a controversy and
taking counsel of passion and greed.
1T is not worth while to blink at
the fact that. without going far from
home, we can gain hint that nations
called civilized, and even Christian,
are liable under strong temptation 10
backslide to barbaric standards, which
permit war and slaughter to count for
a peoples greatness and reckon ruth
less conquest among glorious deeds.
There is one effective and constant
preventive against such danger, ana
that is the sincere acceptance as guild
ance to national behavior of honor,
of the love of peace, the devotion to
justice and truth, the forbearance and
inviolable good faith, which grew out
of genuine civilization and Christian
spirit.
mo stream runs higher than it's
source and a government by the peo-
pie will be no better than the people
make it. If these qualities are to be
recognized as guides of national con-
duct under our plan of rule the Deo-
pie must command their public SER
wants

HISTORIC GLOVES.
Placed In The State Hall of History
BY Representative Davis, of
Burke.

Representative Benjamin f. Davis,
OF Burke county, has presented to the
State Hall of History q pair of his
toric gloves. The story of these gloves
is thus told in a letter by Mr.. S. G.
Kerley, Of Burke county:
These gloves were worn by Samuel
Alexander when on dress parade" as
a State military officer, having been
commissioned by Governor Alexander
Martin IN 1892 in acknowledgment
for services rendered in the struggle
for independence, as ensign, or color
bearer. He was born on the Susque-
hanna River, about the year 1860.
His father moved TO North Carolina
some time before the War of the
Revolutions, settled in Alamance coun-
ty. but in a short while removed 10
Burke county. When the war broke
out he. with his two brothers James
and Noble Alexander. took up arms.
Samuel at once joined the command
of the old SWAMP Fox" Francis
Marion, and spert some time with
Him, but when his home was threaten
ed by Furgeson and his Tory Allies,
he came back to North Carolina; sub
sequently participated in the battles of
the Cow Pens and Kings Mountain.
His grandson, j. y. Alexander, living
at this time on the old historic farm,
known as the Quaker Meadows has
in his possession the commission that
Governor Martin gave to his grand
father. The writer has sister. 4
granddaughter of Samuel Alexander,
namely, Mrs S. NJ. Boderick, who has
a set of et"sapoons' made of the
silver knee buckles worn by her
grandfather.
Mrs. w. Is. Avery, another grand
daughter also has a set. He died in
1872 full of years, however by his
State, and his adopted county, ana
his church, he being the second elder
of his church, presbyterian, ac-
cording to the record of his father-ln-
law. viz: Robin Penlaner, the first in
the county. His remains lie in his
family cemetery, on an emlnence
overlooking his home, that is in the
historic Linville Valley"

Nine out of ten of the big failures
in North Carolina in the past few
years can be traced to gambling in fu-
lures in concerns not called bucket
shops. If this Legislature wishes to
stop gambling, whether craps" by
negroes or the gambling by big bugs
in establishments calling themselves
reputable, the Hollowell bill furnishes
the machinery.

Too Vague a Proposition.

IT seems TO us that the law against

to make the papers independent of

For our part, we should in all things
like to give the railroads just what
we are due them and in turn we
should like to have just what they are
due u.s. If anything. Accepting a pass
in exchange for an unspecified amount
OF space is altogether too vague a

TURNS ON THE LIGHT
Mayor Mcclellan Testifies i'm
Lighting Contracts

NEW YORK, April 1s.-The session
today OF the legislative committee in
vestigating lighting conditions in New
York city was by far the most inter
esting of any since the inquiry began.
Mayor George B. Mcclellan and City
Comptroller Grout testified as to their
action on the various lighting contracts
that have been made while they have
been in office. The committee also in
quired into the contracts made by the
Consolidated Gas company with the
New York Contracting and Trucking
company. in which Aid. James E. Gaff-
ney and John ]. Murphy, brother of
Charles F. Murphy. leader OF Tammany
hall, are associated.
1t developed that contracts amount
ing to $3S0.0 had been awarded to
the Gaffney Murphy firm without COM
petition. 1t was denied that the con-
tracts were so let because the name
of Murphy was associated with the
concern 1t was claimed the gas COM
pany did not know the Murphy in the
contracting company was a brother of
Charles F. Murphy. Comptroller Grout
declared that he was convinced that
the city's only remedy was to build
its own lighting plant.
Mayor Mcclellan told the committee
that the lighting contracts for the cur
rent year we've signed by Commissioner
Oakley, in charge of the city depart
ment of water. gas and electricity.
without a final consultation with him.
He had demanded an explanation Of
Oakley. The mayor told of the admin
istration's efforts TO secure legislation
for a municipal lighting plant. He did
not doubt tLat the city had authority
to erect and operate its own gas plant
but legislation had been sought to
avoid possible delays due to litigation.
