Secretary Metealf will take up The

possible. Lieutenant Roxseau depart

Undoubtedly naval exigracies, sup
pIemenied by the building Of the
giant Cunarders Lusiiania aud Maur-
itania, was the basis for this pro-
Jected change of plan which will in
volve the expenditure Of many ad-
ditional millions of dollars and per

quIred for the completion of the ca
nal project 1t is also probable thai
the mere suggestion of such . con.
siderable change of plans as that pro
posed by Lieutenant Rosseau would
preeipitate a general debate In Con-
gress and reopen the whole issue OF
sea level, versus lock canal which
was believed to have been finally set
tied by President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Taft when they gave the order
for the beginning Of work on the
lock canal plan. The fact is that
when Congress was so warmly dis
cussing the two projects about two
years ago, the sea level canal advo-
Gates made the point that theirs was
The only plan that would have suffi-
cient elasticity TO meet the needs of
rapidly increasing tonnage Ill marine
construction. Their plan involved the
use of but one lock. merely Ia Offset
the tidal difference between the east
ern and western seas, n comparatively
low and insignificant lock which could
be easily widened when required.
But they made a strong point of the
difficulty, expense and loss of time in
the use Of the canal that would fol-
low the attempt to widen the eompli-
Gated and massive locks required for
the high level canal.
Possibly foreseeing the force OF
that argument, the canal commission
apparently feels that it wonld be wise
to make the locks of the canal wide
enough in the beginning to accommo-
date the giant ships, not only Of thu
navy but of the merchant marine,
that are sure TO be constructed in the
near future.
Details os the new plans cannot be
obtained at present, but the change
is said to be costly, though Of its ne
cessity few naval officers have any
doubt.

Electricity for Thomasville.

Thomasville, Special.-On Satur-
day the board of aldermen of this
town at a full meeting granted Mr..
B. F. w. Bryant, of Boston, Mass, a
franchise for furnishing electric
lights and power for the town. The
time limit of the franchise is 80
years, and contract was made for
him to light the town for 10 years.
The franchise will be turned over to
a company being known as the Thom-
asville Light & Power Company, COM
posed partly of citizens of this place
and with some Northern capital. The
company proposes to erect modern
plant at a cost of $4,000, and it is
agreed to furnish the town with 24,-
hour service. The rate agreed upon
are very low. The plant will be cons
pleted by the first of the year, the
exact location has not been determin-
ed upon, but will be in the incorpora/
ed limits and more than likely on
the belt line This enterprise will
be a great help to small industries,
to obtain power cheaply.

A WISE AND TIMELY MOVE.

When it was first announced that
the president had decided to send a
large fleet of battleships in the Pa
cifc there we're some who thoroughly
criticized the move. But the devel-
opments each day have shown how
wise and timely is the move.
The amount of crookedness and
rottenness which is each day being un-
earthed by the investigation which
the president is having made Of the
management of the great trusts, has
brought to the support Of the presi-
dent thousands who at first did not
support his policy. Mr.. Bryan still
criticizes the president, but he has
fewer people each time to agree with
him.
The greatest danger which the pres
ident has before him is from inside
of his own party and from some OF
his office holders. The people are all
right.

Escape From Guilford Jail.

Greensboro Special. - Saturday
night three negroes escaped from the
county Jail here. They sawed the:.,'
way out, first cutting the bars of
their cell and then those in the win
dow, jumping to the ground. The
escape was discovered shortly after
wards, as the jailor had received some
intimation that something crooked
was going on, but he heard of it too
late to prevent the escape of the pris-
oners. One of the men was await
ing trial for assault with a deadly
weapon. Another was awaiting trial
for larceny and the other was await
ing an appeal from the Supreme
Court, he having been sentenced 10
two years for cruelty to animals.
The officers expect to soon have them
behind the bars again.

the county jail some time Saturday
night. lie was found this morning
suspended from the top Of the steel
cage by aA old piece Of wine such
as is used in baling hay. He had
evidently fixed the wire around his
neck and then jumped of his bunk
The wire was embedded in the flesh
of bis neck out of sight, although the
skin had not been cut. His eyes AMI
tongue, fearfully swollen, bulged
from his head, and when discovered
the body was stiff and cold. The wire
was just long enough TO permit the
ends Of his toes to touch the floor
and in his death agony the skin and
flesh had ben literally worn away III
the effort to gain a footing. The
body presented a horrible sight and
with 1t a most siekening odor 1t
was taken down and laid out IN a
room In the front part of the Jail,
where it will be kept until the peopl,
from the section of the county ia
which he committed the awful crime
may have the opportunity to view il
and satisfy themselves that he is
really dead.
Now that Upchurch is dead, there
are open expressions Of pleasure that
the sheriff has been spared dis
agreeable job and that the town next
Wednesday will be spared the pres
ence of a morbid mob to gloat in the
excitement of the hanging. Upchureh
was carefully watched and everything
that he could possibly use to injure
himself with was removed from his
cell, and it is a mystery how he pro-
cured the wire. The gallows on which
he was to have been executed had
been built and now stands in the jail
enclosure. His relatives have not as
yet signifed their intention of ella JIM
ing the body and the disposition of
it is now unknown.

screaming, and this frightened the
assistant and he escaped. She recog-
nHed him as Claude Riggsbee, how
