Will Put Canal Through.

Work on the Panama canal in its
magnitude would surprise any man
who saw it for the first time" re-
marked W: NJ. Hood, of Virginia, rep
resentative of Cincinnati house, at
the Raleigh.
81 spent two months there this
year and my first view of the big
ditch almost took my breath away.
The efforts of the French to dig the
canal were pygmylike compared to
what our people are doing. This is
illustrated in the difference in size
of the cars and engines used to haul
away the dirt. 1t would be possible
almost to place one of the French
engines in the cab of an American
locomotive now in use.
Eve have $4,000 men at work,
and the payroll is $1,5OO,00O a
month, or AZ tons of money. No
paper money is used to pay the men,
because of the fear that it might
carry germs of disease. The dirt is
flying so fast that it is marvellous.
There are $50 engines and 3,4O0
cars at work, and the time required
to unload 40 cars is less than Is
minutes.
"The great work, of course, is in
the Culebra cut, which will take
longer to complete than any other
part of the ditch. 1t requires dig
ging down through IS feet of solid
rock, to base of 400 feet. They
are using a ton of dynamite every
day on this work alone.
81 have not the slightest doubt
that the canal will be completed by
1915. Colonel Goethals is the best
man that could be found to superin-
tend the work. He is on the job
every minute, and can be seen any
day at $50 in the morning at some
part of the canal.
Zone of the most surprising
things to me was the perfect climate
and sanitary conditions. was there
for nearly eight weeks, and in all
that time did not see mosquito.
They have grass-cutters who go
round every day, and grass is not
permitted to grow within 100 feet
of a house. The entire Canal Zone
is as clean as an army camp made
so by Colonel Gorgas, who cleaned
up Cuba and Manila. ."-Washington

A COMPLICATED CASE.
Veteran Wants to Get Back Into
Soldiers Home.

Columbia, July 13.-Another COM
plication has arisen in connection
with the effort of veteran F. Doug
las Walker to secure re-admission to
the Confederate home here.
Indefinitely furlonged by the
board of commissioners on May, af-
ter a hearing, for "unbecoming be-
havior and disturbing the peace of
the institution" this sentence TAX
ing the place of a previous one car
rying sixty days suspension, Mr..
Walker has supported himself dur
ing the past two and half months
by working as night chaingang guard
for Supervisor S. H. Owens, of Rich
land county. When that position was
abolished Mr.. Walker took his saw
ings and went to Charleston to get
up a petition which is now before the
board, praying for reinstatement and
saying that unless this is granted he
will have to spend his last days in
the county almshouse.
Mr.. Walker isays that he regrets
his indiscretion and is ready to make
all possible amends. His friends say
that his offense consisted in saying
in the presence of the matron, Mrs.
w. D. Startling, inadvertively, "He's
too damned deaf" in explaining why
a comrade could not understand what
she was telling him.
The complication by the fact that
the present inmates of the home have
signed contemplation, which will
be presented to the board also, pray
ing that Mr.. Walker be not reinstat-
ed. Friends of Mr.. Walker say this
petition is not to be taken seriously.
They point out that the inmates, be-
ing under the complaints discip-
line, would hardly risk the displeas-
ure of that officer by petitioning for
the reinstatement of a7man he had
caused to be discharged.

Saloon Now a Church.

Bristol, Tenn, July 13.-Rock
Creek saloon, in Unicoi county, Ten
nessee, which was a noted rendez-
vous for gamblers when saloons were
permitted in Tennessee, underwent a
remarkable transformation to-day,
when it was dedicated as Presby-
terian house of worship.
The sermon was by Rev. w. A.
Provine, of Nashville. In the con-
gregation were many of the men
who had helped to make Rock Creek
valley notorious for it's orgies in the
days of drinking places.
