dians to the United States for the pur-
pose Of taking courses at Industrial
and agricultural collegiate institutions.
This information was obtained by Rep
resentatiVe Small from Secretary VIII
son. Of the Department Of Agriculture,
who has been requested by the British
Embassy TO furnish a list Of institu-
tons best adapted to the education
and instruction Of the youthful sub
jects of British India. Mr.. Wilson has
informed the British Ambassador that
Southern A. and NJ. colleges are. in
his opinion, best adapted to the train
ing of the tudentS in question by rea-
son Of Innate and crop conditions in
the Southern states. Mr.. Small was
informed tina the y. and NJ. College
of Raleigh was not in the list Of col
leges which the Secretary had recon-
mended Mr.. Wilson was Of the opin-
ion that Virginia and North Carolina
were too far North but at the sug-
gestion of the Congressman he has
written President George T. Winston
with reference to the subject. There
was some discussion of the possibility
OF race prejudice in the southern col
Iegcs. but Mr.. Small volunteered the
information that there would hardly
be any prejudice Of this character.

simmons Talks of the Canal.
Senator simmons. who is devoting
most of his time to a study of canal
conditions, said. in speaking generally
about the great project to be built at
Panama. that it would be Of great
value to the whole country, but it
would be of greater benefit 10 the
South han any other part of the u
try. and as betWeen the states of hat
section of greater benefit to North
Carolina than any other bordering on
the Atlantic seaboard. The senator
thinks that the special importance of
the canal to North Caroline arises out
of the fact that our two sea ports, the
one at Wilmington and the one at
Morehcad City. are the first ports south
of HatteraS, the traditional graveyard
of the sea. To avoid the great danger
and delays of IIatteras, tho Senator
contends, is q consideration Of first
importance to the commerce between
this country and the Orient and south
and Central America, and the Only way
this a be accomplished as regards
that part of the commerce originating.
or whose ultimate destination is, north.
of this great danger line, is by finding
deep water to the south of it, and our
harbOrS being the first harbOrS south
of Hatteras will necessarily become the
points from which this will
start OF end.
Charges have been made against the
postmaster at Lincolnton by V. l..
Epes, of Shelby. They were. placed
on file at the Postoffce Department by
Representative Webb. of the Ninth
district. Mr.. 1Ipes complaint is that
his mail. which was addressed to him
was delivered to j. O. Epps, and that
the postmaster told him it was not his
BUSINESS to know the initials of peo-
pie calling for mail in order to makeI
delivery. The immediate cause of the
charges is the delivery Of a sample
package Of half hose to j. A. or J. O..
Epps.
