tied, for we suppose there will be no receding from that decision. If we are to have canal with locks the next most important thing is, that 1t shall be built in the best manner that science and modern mechanical and engineering skill can suggest It is a matter in which time does not cut such figure as quality does.
 If the present Congress fixes the type and those who have control of the job proceed at once to the actual work of construction 1t is to be hoped that they will not allow hurry to take the place of completeness. That canal is for all time and no demand or clamor for haste should lead to inefficient or incomplete work. We notice that some are saying that the proper plan to pursue is to build lock canal at once and afterwards change 1t to sea-level one. If this idea should take possession of the management we may expect shoddy work and q bad job. Our theory is that whatever style of canal is de. cided on 1t should be built In the best manner and not looked on as a tempo rary job to last only till something better can be had

COST OF CANAL WORK.
The Charlotte Observer of recer date has the following:

The Charlotte Observer or recent date has the following:
 The New York Sun in the course of an editorial favoring the construction of a temporary lock canal to be fol- lowed by a wide sea-levei waterway -"the Straits of Panama"-says the isthmian commission of 1901 named four dollars and seventy-five cents per yard as the price of subaqueous excavation of rock The committee of the consulting board reduced this figure to two dollars and half and a dollar and a half per yard. accord ing to conditions. The Sun has caus- ed to be investigated by expert au- thority. and has Itself investigated. the character of the subaqueous rock ex- cavation now being done In various places. and It cites the Manchester Ship Canal where much harder and more refractory rock is now being cents a cubic yard, and the work for the Yokohama custom house, where the rock Is identical with the larger part of that at Panama, and Is being broken under water and made dredE- ible at cost of two cents per cubic yard With the cost of excavation reduced to anything like the latter figures 1t would seem that wide sea- level canal would be well to consider as to the ultimate aim of tho govern ment. But, what Is wanted Is a canal in the shortest possible time, and if the proposed lock canal will answer that purpose that is what should be built
 If The Sun Is ever measurably cor rect in it's figures and calculations it is plain that the engineers and commissioners have laid the founda- ton for immense profits for somebody. Assuring that The Sun is Tn the neighborhood of accuracy there Is such a broad difference between the esti- mates that 1t Is. difficult to understand the high prices given by the com mission, except on the theory that fl wanted somebody to get rich by the job. It is hard to believe that 1t was ignorance, unless we are to under stand that The Sun was talking with odt knowledge. and all must admit that The New York Sun is apt to be pretty well informed.
 But leaving engineering and news paper experts to fight their own bat ties and settle their own difference. we must broadly dissent from the sentiment plainly expressed by Th' Observer in the closing sentence of tn, extract we have quoted. It gives ui to understand that the people and tn, country only want a canal ''in thu shortest possible time" and the plair inference Is that the type or quality Is a matter of no importance. Thi | is bad doctrine While we are stil of the opinion that Congress made { mistake in yielding to the President't demands for lock canal, we presume that matter may be looked on as set

A KANSAS IDEA.

Lengthening mems shirts is the lat- est Kansas idea for increasing the consumption of cotton and thereby en- hancfng the price. An agricultural paper in that State is trying to orga- nize the farmers into movement to Insist on adding one inch to the length of each shirt worn by the men. We presume the organization will be known as 'The shirt Tail Party" but the name is not material. It is the object that Is important. It has been said that if every Chinaman here or in China would add two inches to the length sof his shirt 1t would require double the present crop to supply the demand.
 The Kansas Idea. however. leaves out the Chinaman in his own land and only takes note of the male portion of our own country. and 1t must be admitted that there's millions in the idea. Let some one with more time than we have take the census reports and make some figures. It will be found that the added Inch would add some millions of yards to the con- sumption of cotton cloth even if each man has only one shirt. Some rich men have several. even in Kansas. we have no doubt And women also wear cotton garments. but we do not under stand that the Kansas plan applies to them. The cotton planters of the South should by all means encourage the movement. It will beat reducing the cotton acreage

LET IT BE DONE.

Tn another place on this page The Advertiser copies an editorial from The Richmond News Leader to which we beg to give our hearty assent. What the women of the Confectionery did for the cause they loved can never be too highly extolleo. nor can hu- man efforts suitably reward their de- votion. What all Southern women have done since the war to commence rate the deeds of Southern men can- not be measured or paid for. but what men can do should be done. Speaking on another subject and of different persons the great Daniel webster once said: Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear rec ord of their deeds. yet will their re- nnembrance be as lasting as the land they tonored."
 And so we might say of the women of the South. Their deeds. their pa- triotism. their faith and their devo- ton will live while men have memo ries and history is written. And so W C AAA6hN oA GuC IAAAt AkAC hCAOCS VI tlG Confederacy need no monuments to ensure them everlasting fame, but we have built. and are building. monu- ments to them all over the South What Is more. these monuments owe their existence largely to the deter mination. devotion and perseverance of the women of the South. They have never faltered in their devotion and patriotism or flagged in their efforts to leave enduring testimonials to those who fought and suffered for the cause. Certainly 1t is meet and prop CT that the Southern men should re. pay some of the debt they owe to thS women by erecting a grand monument to them. No work of human hand: can typify all that the women did, but human hearts can show their grati' tude and their appreciation by build ing to their memory a monument which shall be as enduring as tim, itself and which shall prove to flu ture generations that Southern mel are not forgetful or ungrateful. Le the work be such as will be partla memorial to the mothers, wives ant daughters of the Lost Cause.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
Are the Best for Skin and Blood

Are the Best Tor Skin and Blood
 About three years ago my face be- gan to get rough with acne and kept getting worse. A year ago I read in a paper of the Cuticura Remedies for. the skin and blood. 1 sent for them at once. I used the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and in three months my skin was soft and smooth, and the pimpIes have all disappeared without the services of a physician.

It is intimated that MT. Conner still believes. or affects to believe. in the possibility of his nomination, no doubt inspired by the optimism, real or as- sumed, of the few newspapers still supporting him. It is difficult to un- derstand on what he bases his hopes. There was a time when he seemed to have everything his own way, but that was only delusion. He made so much noise that many really believed there was something in it, but they have learned that iE was mostly smoke. We have pretty good knowledge of the people of Alabama, and we don't believe they will make a Governor out of such timber as he is, when they can dc Nso much better.

Worth While.

Lord. 1t seems but short. our lifetime;
Just breath and we're away;
Looking backward down our pathways
We were boys just yesterday.
And tomorrow well be old folks.
And. day after that. wen pass;
AS the thistledown the wind blows
Or the mist upon the glass
It's worth livin' in. this world is,
Where the flowers bud and bloom,
Where the firefiies are dartin'
Drawn pictures on the gloom;
Every days worth havin' lived for,
And. in love, ones hopes and fears,
For one little. ticklin' minute
Are plumb worth a million years!
And the hug OF one wee baby,
When it's reachin' up to climb
To your bosom just to love you
Worth ten million years o time;
And its kisses at the nighttime,
When you're grooming 1t to sleep,
Each ones worth batch Of ages
That ud make a mighty heap.
And o. nights baby watchin'
For your comm down the street,
And the yellow curls a-nyin',
And the awkward legs an feet,
And the glad mouth lreld for kisses
Half a-purse and half a-smile-
Makes life's wee spar mighty sippy.
Makes the livin' well worth while.
