Beaufort n. c. Lookout.

IN. III
Few people have any conception Of
the magnitude of the traffic past Cape
Lookout. some idea can be obtained
from the report that this year more
than 30, 900 vessels passed within range
o. Lookout shoals lightship. 1t is es-
timated that during The same time 9th
or vessels which passed by in fog or at
night, if added to this number, would
augment the total by at least 10, 900.
About 90 per cent. OF the vessels used
steam. More than %, 200 900 tons reg
lister was shown, the average for steam
vessels being 1900 tons and for sail
ing vessels 900 tons.
A Beaufort man, who should know,
stated that a vessel of some sort passes
Cape Lookout every five minutes.
This would be at the rate of twelve
every hour, or 28S in "A hours. Multi
plying this by the number Of days in
the year results in the enormous total
Of los, 12O as the aggregate of vessels
rounding Cape Lookout.
When the increase in coastwise traffic
which will be a logical sequence of the
opening of the Inland Waterway is
added to the number which now an
nually round the cape and the passen-
@ steamers and private yachts which
will naturally be diverted from their
present routes are included it will read

world has within its attraetiv influence

command.
Between New York and Boston there
will be a gain of seventy-four miles

of light draught) and 142 miles owe

seems to be wrapped up in litigation
both present and prospective. It is
because of service rendered, of labor
done in the past years for the party and
State, during the days and at times
when Democracy was being crushed
beneath the heel Of the enemy, when it
was even unsafe to be active for De-
mocracy in North Carolina. Men of
this district can remember when, years
ago. though but a young man, Col.
William T. Dortch waged incessant
warfare against the Republican party
and hurled defiance into their ranks,
even when his life was threatened.
back and trace his vigorous career.
When, as he grew older, his vigor in
creased, his blows were heavier, and
the enemy grew weaker. It can easily
be remembered when the enemy was
laid low, and Democracy triumphed in
the State. Col. Dortch has not claimed
the credit for Democracy's triumph in
his district, and in other districts. His
modesty, which is born of culture, will
not let him claim what his fellow
workers know was true. But every
day, stories Of the great campaigns he
waged in those dark days tell the tale,
and we know that his was the master
hand.
When the fight vas over, like Gin
cinnatus of Roman fame, Col. Dortch
returned quietly to his work. Nc audi
forum lectures and addresses for spec
tacular effect mar the value of the
work already done. No parade of
greatness did he make. No Hobson-
like kisses did he seek; but, mark you,
when again Republicanism triumphed
and the call vas sounded, Col. Will
liam T. Dortch again entered the fight.
Again his arguments exposed Republi-
can crookedness, and again his elo-
called back deserters to the
ranks of Democracy.
Scan carefully the records of those
who have worked for our party. Can
any be found who has done more faith
full work? Can any be found who has
done more effective work? Then let
the Democracy of the State do it's duty,
and nominate for our next Governor
Col. William T. Dortch, who has
worked and accomplished, and yet who
not asked the tavors hat the State
be glad to bestow upon him.
While others have claimed Office after
office, he has bided his time, full of
fought for and risked so much for, will
reward justly his merits. But whether
or not, his friends we'll know
that he stands ready to-day to do bat
tie, as Of old, against the common en-

The Health Officer says:
The late case of smallpox was OF
the malignant or continent type.
Smallpox seems to be essentially a
negroes disease, as he has 81 cases
of negroes to of the whites; but the
negro will recover from a type of the
disease that the white man will die
from every time. The prevention of
its spread in the late case was sup
pressed by prompt isolation and vac
cination. He has enough of Mul-
ford's bovine tubes to vaccinate any
without cost desirous of the protect
