there were weeping and wafling and crashing
of teeth. for the figures from the census bureau
showed that the city had sustained loss OF a
few hundred tn the course Of ten years. For
while it looked as If the government at Wash
ington would not be permitted 70 survive, but
the counsel Of sober heads prevailed and new
census was determined upon by private enter
prtse-nOt that this could wipe the blot from
the official census roll but that the citizens,
conscious of their own rights. might hold up
their heads before the world. All contiguous
territory was annexed for the purpose, and the
volunteer patriots went to work with WILL

Just now Mobile is suffering from what it
feels to be an unjustifable attack upon its
honor and integrity. AS in the case of most other
cities in arriving at the estimated population
for 1905 the ratio for the last decade of the nine
teenth century has been taken as a basis. In
asmuch as the local experts have figured out a
population somewhat in excess Of $4,000. the
government estimate Of 40, 1855 is decidedly I'M
satisfactory, and "The Mobile Register rises
to remark:
The whole situation is unscientific. misleading
and valueleSS, while harmful IL ought to be

return to that plan of action, stop trying 20 fool
the public and stop wasting the money of the
people in frivolous estimates
The situation is unquestiOnably delicate
one, but we know that upon second thought the
good people Of Mobile will decide to await the
official verdict Of 1910. Think what welcome
and Unheard-Of surprise 1t would be If, some

PREPARLNG EoR TIE CANAL.

The Panama Canal is at best yet so far from
completion that some might regard it as pre-
mature TO raise the question of the prepared
ness Of South American ports to handle the
increased commerce which will come TO them
by the isthmian route Such n view will not
seem altogether judicous. however. when
take into consideration the length OF time re
quired for important harbor works. Note. for
example the time spent on dredging and deep
enlng the channels of New York Bay. OBJ
viously If It will take rs long or nearly a.
long to deepen a harbor for canal traffic ms 1t
will to dig the canal. the harbor works should
begin forthwith and proceed pGri pGssu with
the canal or else the canal NJ completion may
be to some extent in the plight OF the VIII
iamsburg Bridge-a great highway OF com
MERGE but without satisfactory terminals for
handling that commerce.
This point Is raised by Mr.. Eugene LentilhOn
In Engineering News" He reminds us that
the canal Is to be made forty feet deep. IN order
to give passage 10 the largest ships. and that
for the economical transportation OF freight it
is necessary TO use large ships But what is
the condition OF the harbors Of the west coast
OF South America? At Guayaqull. the chief
port OF Ecuador there ara only two fathoms
OF water the bar Mt low water and at Cal
lao. the chief port OF Peru, the depth IS from
three and three-quarters to four and One-quarter
fathoms. africa, Iqulque and Antofagasta are
also in sore need of Improvement The same
may be said OF Valparaiso, but there, alone, the
necessary works have been provided for and
will be done. Mr.. Lenthon argues that
the accommodations Of those harbors are mad
equate to present demands and that therefore
unless they are much improved they will be-
grossly inadequate to the increased demands
which Will be made when the canal IS opened.
This suggestion that those harbors should be
improved is, we believe, n timely one which
the nations concerned would do we'll 10 heed
with promptness and energy. Apart from the
United States itself, there are no countries OF
the world more directly concerned In the canal
than Chill, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia From
New York to CallaO by water Is now 97OO
miles. When the canal is opened 1t will be
only 1850 miles. Those figures tell the whole
story in advance. Moreover from 1898 to 1904
the imports of Peru increased 1898 per cent
and the exports 423 per cent. Chill and Ecua-
dor also show a large Increase and Bolivia
with decrease in imports, has enormously In
creased her exports If the commerce Of those
countries is thus growing without the aid OF
the canal, we may expect 1t to grow much more
rapidly when the canal Is opened. To meet
such expansion Of commerce port improve
ments Will be urgently required. AS for our
own ports, those the Gulf, such as Pen
sacOa, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston
should see I'm the coming completion of the
canal a great opportunity to Increase their
trade, and they should make every preparation
needed for the fullest improvement of the on

1t is gratifying to know that the fire In the

dental or incendiary origin, extinguished
without doing serious harm. Every friend OF
Ireland ought TO wish great success for the ex-
hibition. which Will doubtless be of much in
dustrial and commercial value to the island. II
will be recalled that Dublin was the scene more
than half century ago Of one of the earliest

been SO marked a feature OF the history OF the
last two generations. and It Will be interesting
to note the advance OF this one over that as In

Death OF A. L. Roberts.

On last Thursday afternoon at O'Clock
daughter, Mrs. j. d. Brunson, In Colum-
bia. His death was quite sudden and
totally unexpected, and the news reached
his wife and other relatives in Walhalla
as great shock. The day before he
died he fell to the ground in the yard
while carrying wood into the house, and
later he tripped and fell again To all
appearances he was in good health, and
during the day of his falls he had walked
up town, and was In the best of spirits.
The immediate cause of his death was
apoplexy or heart trouble, He had been
on duty at the Southern Railway shops
until IL o'clock Wednesday. Until about
year ago he resided in Walhalla with
his family, but after accepting his posi-
tion with the Southern he spent only a
part of his time here.
Mr.. Roberto would have been 81 years
of age on the I'd day Of February, 1907.
He was born near Salisbury, N. G. He
was twice married, his first wife being
Miss Flora Williams Hester, of Winston.
Three children, all still living, were born
to them--Miss Mary A. Roberts, now a
trained nurse In Philadelphia; James II.
Roberts, q machinist In the United States
Navy Yard at Washington, and VIM. L.
Roberts, of Washington. On May 9th,
1893. he was married to Mira. l.. e. Ar
mold, Of Walhalla, who, with two daught-
era, survives. They are Mrs. j. d. Brnn-
son, of Columbia, and Miss Annie Laura
Roberts, of Walhalla.
Mr.. Roberts had spent almcst his whole
life In railroad work. For over twenty
years he was an engineer on the South-
ern Railway between Charlotte and
Columbia and Greenville and Atlanta.
For quite number of years he had
abandoned the service as railway on.
gineer and had resumed his work az o
machinist In the Columbia shops, whore
forty years ago, he completed his ap-
premiership.
Kind-hearted and generous, Mr.. Rob.
erts made many friends wherever he
lived, and in his death the sympathy OF
many goes out to the bereaved ones In
their sorrow. ,.
The remains were. laid to rest in tho
Lutheran cemetery here Saturday morn
ing, the services being conducted by Rey,
j. G. Tongue, of the Methodist church.
