two such cars make trninload for one
of those engines.
When you have tratnload you are
only carrying away 10 cubic yards OF
earth, and as we have only one track
you can see how fast the work goes on.
Indeed, l think 1t was calamity that
we got that lot OF refuse stuff with our
French bargain. Had we started free.
we would have bought the best OF mod
ern machinery. We must have that now.

How much excavation has actually
been done since we took hold? IS
About one million cue!c yards, +

"Iow much will have to be done?" i
THAT depends upon whether we have
lock canal or sea level canal. Wo

yards, and we may have more than one
Hundred millions. We cannot tell until
we know Just what kind OF canal Is de-
termined upon"
What Is Your opinion, Mr., shonts,
should the canal be one OF locks or at
sea level?'
II have no opinion to express. The
President has called together the most
eminent Of the worlds engineers to pass
upon that question. They are now in-
vestgating the dlffertnt problems. They
Will go to Panama. and In due time will
report. II their conclusion should be u
unanimous one, there will be little doubt
that 1T will be followed. IL it should not

The Chaotic Condition.

Nothing perhaps better illustrates the
chaotic conditions of the times than the
manner in which Judge Tourgee obtained
his title. He applied to the Supreme
Court of North Carolina for license to
practise law and fell through on the ex-
animation. He cursed the ancient and
honorable court, composed of men Of
great ability, as an aggregation Of SOL
emn asses, ran for the Legislature on
the negro ticket and was elected. He
passed bill through the Black Parlia-
ment to deprive the Supreme Court of
the right to examine candidates for the
bar and placed the privilege In the hands
OF the common justices Of the peace.
many Of whom were negroes who could
not read or write. He went before
magistrate, paid his fee Of twenty dol
lars. got his license to practise law with.
out examination, ran for judge and took
his seat on the bench.
do not record this fact In any dis
respect to the memory of Judge Tourgee
He was n man the people of North Caro-
lima would have been delighted to know

of the few men in our State government
at the time who had any brains or con-
science at all. He was prince amons
