FORMER United States Senator AN

a. TINS mornings session. In briei
address to the delegates he expressed
the opinion that New England had
been backward In the development OF
waterways, although he contended it
was for this sections particular COM
mercial advantage that tho waterways
be made more of a reality.

Statistics. Department of Comm cree

dress said that while the subject as

deemed 1t not improper to include In
the discussion the commerce and COM
merclal possibilities of the entire line
OF states on the Atlantic ana Gun
coast. Those States. nineteen in num-
Der nave an area equal to that OF the

Inc Importance OF a, continuous wa
.erWay inside the coast line, in whicl,
the zoo navigable streams crossing
thls great productive area now flow.
and or thus linking them up into one
great system, was, in Mr.. Austin.s
opinion, very great. He believed that
such waterway would add greatly
TO the service which these streams 1nay
perform in the Interchange OF com
modities, while the further value In
assuring safety tofreight, moving par.
allel with the coast, is shown by the
fact that the disasters to vessels on
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, during
the last decade, according to figures
OF the life saving service. numbered g.
667, of which 1872 caused total loss
Of vessels. resulting in tie destruction

Distinguished Old Warrior Will
Refuse REELECTION as Com

Honor to Go to Younger Man

Gen. Clement A. Evans. commander in
chief of the United Confederate Veterans,
will not accept reelection to the head of
that association.
General Evans is now in Mobile, where
the l., e. ". are holding their annual
reunion. He left last Saturday for that
city.
Before leaving he confided to a Journal
repI esentative that he not only would
not seek reelection, but positively would
not again accept it, as he did last year
when he was chosen over his own pro-
test to succeed himself
II feel that my comrades have paid me
all the honors l am entitled to- said he
then. II have come up successfully
through all the steps to my present po-
stion Of great honor at their head.
But I feel that the time is not far
off when we will hold our last reunion -
here the old Confederate chieftain's voice
broke a trifie-"and it is not proper that
should continue longer as commander
in chief
Il want some younger man to be chosen
and left in Office for a year or so. We
have among us a number of the very
choicest men. They should be recognized
before it is too late. The honor of stand
ing at the head of their old comrades
alarms should be given them. L have held
it long enough. L will not accept II
again."
General Evans stipulated that his conf
dence should be respected till Tuesday.

you would be surprised at the change.
When any person remarks about the
great improvement, we never fail to tell
them that we attribute his gain in
strength and general health. to the free
use of Postum and this has led many
friends to use it for themselves and chil-
