Observation-Disclosures
Attend Opening To-day of North
Carolina Canal Below Hatteras.
Senators and Representatives Will
BE Given Oyster Roast on
Waterways Banks.

A delegation of Senators and Represent
atives left Washington yesterday to par
ticipate to-day in the celebration of the
opening Of the canal which connects the
North Carolina sounds with the Atlantic
Ocean below Cape Hatteras.
This canal. which was started two
years ago under an appropriation by Con-
gress. is about five miles long and runs
by way Of Adams Creek out Of Pamlico
Sound to Core Creek and the Beaufort
Inlet. 1t is ten feet deep. and has been
completed within the appropriation.
1t is regarded as the first practical step
in the linking Of the waterways OF the
Atlantic coast in a continuous inland
chain. The Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Association, which is behind the coastal
project, regards the Beaufort link as a
necessary step in uniting New England to
Florida by water inside the dangerous
capes.
Among those participating In the exer-
cises are Senators Simmons. Of North
Carolina, and Fletcher. Of Florida; Con-
gressmen John H. Small and Charles r.
Thomas, of North Carolina, and Con-
gressmen Sparkman. of Florida: Rams

TAKE UP WATERWAYS BILL
Senate Committee Members Losing
No Time.
Amendments Will BE Fewer Thar n
Usual and Will Bring Asere-
gate to $28,OOO,OOO.

The Senate Commerce Committee has
lost no time getting to consideration of
the river and harbor appropriation bill.
Work was resumed on the bill yester-
day. when the session of Congress was re-
sumed. There is every indication that
the bill will be reported early and there
is no reason to doubt that it will secure
an early passage by the Senate.
The Senate amendments to the bill will
be. proportionately, considerably fewer
than usual To date the aggregate sum
carried in the Senate amendments is ap-
proXimately s2.S00.ON The Senate amend
ments to the bill of last year amounted to
over 100000: for straight appropria-
tions. ss.SSo.567. and for continuing con-
tracts, s.. 627.675.
1t seems pretty certain that the Sem
ate will not depart far beyond the policy
observed in the bill as it came from the
House. which was distinguished as a par
ing down to well within the estimates Of
the engineers. The Senate amendments.
although increasing the size of the bill
to close to s26 Oo0, 600. are all within the
engineers estimates, with no legfs-
lation proposing new projects included.
Other Senate amendments are expected
to be offered. but 1t seems to be we'll un-
derstood that nothing will be done to en-
danger the bill by any amendments call
ing for large appropriations or attempt
ing to provide for new projects.

SENATE SOON ADJOURNS.
Scott Makes Announcement
Death of His COlleaEue.

The Senate adjourned yesterday after
a very brief session. out of respect to
the memory of the late Senator Elkins,
of West Virginia. Mr.. Scott. the Junior
Senator from West Virginia, made the
announcement of the death Of his former
colleague. He was visibly affected, and
could scarcely be heard Senator Scott
said:
1T becomes my painful duty to an
nounce the death of my colleague, which
occurred in this city at midnight, after
long and serious illness. making a
brave fight for life, as he always fought
bravely for the principles he believed to
be right He has answered the roll call
on the other side. The loss is a personal
one to me. but the country suffers a
great loss in his death and the State of
West Virginia one of the severest losses
she could have sustained. vt a later
date l will speak at length Of the serv-
ices Of my late colleague to his coun-
try"

sress, to be held here January - the
members of the committee to select the

There has been an effort to prevent
the designation of the majority of the
Ways and Means Committee as the COM
mittee on committees. because Of its
the members would be busy with the
preparation of tariff legislation: but word
has gone forth that Speaker-to-be Champ

URGES SCHOOL BILL
Representative Davis Asks
Special Courses.
MEASURE PUT ON CALENDAR
LeEislation Seeking to Esta blish in
All Schools of the Country Special
Departments for Technical and
Agricultural Training Will Come
Before Congress This Session.

The Davis-Dolliver bill, providing fol-
technical. industrial, agricultural, and
educational training in public schools of
the country, which was introduced at
the last session of Congress and formally
reported. was yesterday placed on the
House calendar for the present session
1t is estimated that if the bill is passed
it will cost the government 900 an
nualy. Appropriations for State schools
are to be in proportion to the population.
and additional help will be given col
leges in those States and Territories
which may have a population of less than
10000.
Representative Davis. in speaking OF
the bill, declared that it would tend to
increase the effectiveness of the vast
population engaged in the various pursuits
and sad that there would be a satisfac-
tory return on the amount of money it is
proposed to invest.
Georgia First to Act.
Georgia, he said, was the first State to
establish such schools. and by private
equip schools in the eleven Congressional
districts.
Representative Davis said that by the
passage of the bill each State would be
reused to follow the example set by
Georgia. This, he said, would result in
approximately 10000 trained farmers be-
ing graduated each year, besides a large
number of women trained in all economic
duties of the home
He said that the proposal to furnish
technical training was not a net expense,
but a wise investment on the part of
the government. The trouble with eco
nomic conditions with the present genera
ton. he said, was that the taste of the
people are increasing faster than their
earning capacity. and the only way to
make this earning capacity equal was to
educate the prospective citizen.

By an established agreement of rotation, this is the year for Sharp county to furnish the can didate for the State Senate. Up to this date there seems to be no we'll defined candidate from that county. It probably is not our putAin but the democracy of Lawrence county would be de- lighted and highly elated if the Hon.

The largest rise ever known in the Strawberry river took place last week. The new bridge, together with it's piers, was washed out, and land was overflowed that was never over flowed before. Many crops in the lowlands are a total loss. The damage to crops and to the land could hardly be estimated. John w. Smiths gin house was washed away and considerable damage was done to his mill property. Sharp County Re cord.

 ''The picturesque cowboy,
 A former citizen of Sharp county writes interestingly to his old home paper, the Record, of Evening Shade, as to the transformation of the great Texas Panhandle.
 Wheat threshing has been the order here for the past three weeks. Look in almost any di- rection and columns of black smoke can be seen ascending from the tunnels of the steam tractors employed in driving the huge separators which thresh from 1000 to 1500 bushels per day. The average yield is very low, but a few crops have yield ed well.
 The picturesque COWBOY, booted, spurred and sombreroed is seldom seen galloping over the plains now. He has yielded his dominion to the man who uses ssthe things with handles on them The large ranches are nearly all broken up and cat tie growing is conducted mostly on a small scale by farmers and small ranchmen. The man with the blow" has undertaken the conquest of the country, and the air> that reverberated with the hoof-beats of myriad herds is now disturbed by the hee-haW of old Maud, or the chug-chug- ging of the steam and gasoline tractors as they convert the wide expanse of grass into fields of hay and grain.

SOUTh MIGHT
 USE METHOD
Employed In West to Kill Moths And Other Insect
 Pests.
Special to Independent

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 29.
 Electricity as an agent to de- stroy the codling moth and oth- CT bug pests is the latest innova. tiop introduced in modern apple orcharding in the Spokane val ley, where w. M. Frost of Op- portunity, Wash, and J. c. Law renee, a practical grower of Spo- kane, last night made what is declared to have been the first demonstration of it's kind in the world. The test was made 1T | six-year-old orchard and more than score of second-brood moths and many green aphis Rere killed in a few moments.
 The apparatus consists of q storage battery to charge the incandescent light globes, each of six candle power, which are netted with fine steel wire, coat ed with copper and tin, alter nately. Attracted by the bright lights in the trees, to which the globes are carried at the ends of a covereds wire, the moths fly against the netting, conn plete the electric circuit and are instantly killed, the bodies fall ing into a receptacle placed be- heath the globe.
 Frost estimates that one bat tery to an acre of trees will ko the moths under control, thus eliminating the usual spraying and saving many dol lars annually for help, equip ment and fluid. He is now pre- pairing to wire his orchard of ten acres, containing 700 trees, and several neighbors, who wit messed the initial test, are doing likewise. It is reported that several thousand acres of bear ing apple trees will be equipped with exterminators by next spring.
 If commercial electric light wires are extended to. the or chard tracts, as they are in many of the valleys in Wash ington, Idaho, Oregon and Mon- tana, the expense of batteries hay be saved by making direct connection. The cost of cover ing the globes with wire nets is a small item and any electrician can do the work.
