THE DRAIN AGE CANAL ' . j The following editorial from the Raleigh News sod Observer will be read with Interest, no doubt, by our : readers: ? O "Yesterday may be said to have been the last day of -the National Farmers' Congress, for scores of del egates were taken yesterday morning on a special train to the Corn Judg ing and Oyster Roast at Washington, and to the big drainge works near Belhaven and to the progressive town of Belhaven. The delegates went over the Norfolk, and Southern road on a special train, as the guests of th e Chambers of Commerce of Washington snd Belhaven. They were delighted with a 11- they saw and returned saying "great is NorthCar nllng " V "Raleigh. Durham, _ OreensBbefff Washington and Belhaven have all shared- In the entertainment of the delegates, and every place did Itself proud. In each place thete was a dif ference. and every pl*i?$ pleased. Yesterday the big Interest wsft In the great drainage enterprise near "Bel X haven, Ihe biggest work of develop ment of its kind going on In Amer ica, and in the Corn Show and de lightful oyster roast at Washington. The farmers were astonished at the magnitude of the drainage enter prise; charmed at the progress and beauty of Washington, and lmpress - ed with the growth-and* legation of Belhaven. The Washington Corn Judging was a notable event and the farmers were engrossed in that and the fishing,. in dustry as they were In the tobacco industry In Durham, the cotton In i'v^Qsynsborn. and lhq.; va ried Interests that pleased them In Rajeigh. - " 'Great is North Caroj Ilia Washington and Belhaven did the honors for Eastern North Carojlna in a way that luu'ld uut have.-l ' passed." SKYSCRAPER CHURCHES The new ediflco of the . Fifth Av enue Baptist congregation, oP^rhlch Mr. Rockefeller and other prominent busines men are members, will fur ther illustrate the tendency of church architecture to depart from the tra dltlonal models and to build upward. , Above the auditorium will be located the social parlors, Bible classrooms and other features of the skyscraper InSUt^Uon^j church. The main ex ample in New York of this type la the Broadway tabernacle, twelve stories Aigh, In which the Institutional de partments are housed on separate floods. Pittsburg has a church loca ted in a 14-story office ouuaing, to: the end (hat the bequest devoting Its site to church purposes "always and ever" should not be nullified. Us against these examples o i util itarian chureh architecture the new CathcMral of St John the Divine re produces th* ancient form of eccles iastical construction In all Its atate Ilness. But the significant thing is tfce evidence shown of a disposition to make the city church edifice con form architecturally to Its environ^, raent. The skyscraper church .hu bee* evolved from the skyscraper of (ke Wilding and hotel, and that Is tfce type- of church o^ihe future, It seens probable. ..f ^ | To this development land values . no doubt contributing, but the jince of institutional work. It is ap 'n<w?nced that the new Fifth Avenue <9h*ttet Church will be "a place for ? ?I I r. atitn #???!, ? Un fc?>f i^gteu4 far'nytfl months by Dr. Bump# HOdonprK chief pathologist, of Ropsevelt Hospital^ who, however. | y*' !?* H11 "**? "^lm tft mt about the matter for at least two weeks, and that whatever he doe* an nounce will he only for the ears of his fellow- physicians. His theory follows the lines of the serum treatments fo?k malignant dis eases. Fluids are taken from the cancer of a patient and then Injected Into the reins of an animal. The ri slstance of the animal to the Inroads of the malady develops an antibody. The serum which Is obtained Is then injected into^the cancerous patient in the hope that his system* will mint re ceive aid In lighting the disease. Experiments along~tEIs line have been conducted for several years, and more than 50 cases have been treat ed. The result* have so far not been sufficient to Justify a conclusion, al though there havo been patients who have been apparently benefited by the treatment. The medical fratern ity. hoyever. believe that Dr. Hoden pyl, though his -experiments have not been completed, will have announce ments of unusual interest to make PltfcOF bofow eome society orthrough the columns of the professional press. The Rockefeller Institute for Med ical Research is aware of the nature uf the Hxpgrlmeuts being conducted by the Roosevelt pathologist, and is working along the same lines at Its (New jersey farm. Instant experiments In qu?J? . ~ of cure for cancer are also betn* con ducted by Dr. John J. Rogers at the Cornell Medical College In this ^clty. Concerning all these- experiments the greatest secrecy is preserved. MR. TAFT'8 RETURN ft ^ nothing new for kings and po tentates to make_ Journeys through their dominions; and* we have enter taining chronicles of royal progress es not a few. Frym time immemorial people have gathered from far and near to behold the man set to rule over them, and looking upon the em bodiment of national sovereignty and ualty have realized as neve? before that were of one blood-and with one des^jiy.

The proprie ty and wisdom of the undertaking cannot be questioned, and now that Its perils and labors are over,\. the country will rejoice sincerely in his safe return to the seat of govern ment?Washington PoetT Future of the ? Southern States \ ^ Henry S. Reed, in the Washington thus Interestingly. x>t the I [South ana King CSEton: ~ ? "The time Is .not far distant when the South win be the richest portion of the United* States. This statement sounds strange in the ear of the -old-' ?ISM n*l.ltin?rnr > mln upon with credence by the man of other section of the United 8tates can present to the traveler such a galaxy | of opportunities, such a climate, such soil, such water power, and nowhere else In the world can the people of the world look for' that great neces alty. cotton ? the most essential single product- all the enormous tomes at catalogues, enumerating the great faumber of essentials grown. There hut two ne cessities, one being that which will prevent starvation and the other something to protect the human body from the burning sun and t^e freez ing winds. There are many 4hlngs capable of- keeping the stomach fed. but there are not enough woolTsnw: hemp, and furs In the world to clothe the people.^ Cotton Is IflV tlue Thing, and U is demanded by the half-clvil Ized Hottentot and the esthetic lady from the world's end to world's end. "Hw- condition of the cotton In d us try In the South la such as to war rant optimistic calculations in eeti I mating Southern prosperity during I the forthcoming months, and. for 'that matter, diirlng the years and the cycles of Ume to come. When the business world as represented in the South realises the importance of financing the crop ? that Is to say. makes the nee'dful arrangements for handling the crop commercially, thus Insuring Its common-sense mar keting ? the wave, not ripple, of pr<* perity which will then-sweep across [th* trom -Virginia- to Mexico, will be of such grand magnitude and force- as to cause the world, to look ;upon Dixie as the one country on n,,? nTAni in ltn irnnith consumption of cotton by the I OLD TtKLlAHLR Or?*#?nvll??, fas 1 mills of the world aggregated some 20,000,000 bales la 1908. of which the Southern Stater contributed more than 13,000,000 bales. The demand today f6r raw cotton Is so keen- it will require 13,500,000 bales of American .cotton of the growth of 1909, \and if that amount cannot be had* some of t?e mtlla will of sheer necessity be compelled to cfose 'd?wn or curtail their output, because there is no. other place in the world from which draw this cupfilZ. "Of the supply produced in 1908, the United States produced 66.4 per cent,' lndjh 14.9 per cent, Egypt 6.5 per cent, Russia 4.3 per cent, China S,1 per cent, Brazil 2.2 per cent, and all other countries 2.6 per cent. The cotton ehterinff Ocoidental commerce Is thta produced In America, Egypt, an4 South" America.. The Indian crop is consumed in India, Japan, the far Orient, and in continental Europe to an extent, and England took 64,000 bales of the 1908 crop. Thus It will be seen the part played by Dixie's cottoq 1b a leading one to such an extent that without it the human body of the world would go un clothed. ? Is uo -substitute; the sia leading textile fibers, cotton repre sents 54 per cent -in quantity; wool, 14.5; Jute, 147-flax, 10; hemp. 7, and silk, 6v e ."These figures are prosonUd fop the purpose of convincing without argument the importance of our im perial product with the hope that ^reat attention will be paid to the marketing this fall, thus- giving the producer and. the Southern business man the full benefit of - the crop's true talor. ? "We do not advocate nor are we discussing the holding of cotton for abnormal prices, but we are urging the producer to market his crop even ly tfi rough the year, and we urge tue business men-4o aid In that sensible move. By marketing evenly through the year the farmer may expect his income to be increased, some 33 1-3 per cent, or his $300 crop made to yield $400. . This being trtie, can the South afTord to postpone making ar rangements for financing it? "Foreign corporations have ex pended much time and money in the vain endeavor to produce cotton in j large quantities in Egypt and in In dia, t>ut these efforts have been, only partially productive of results. The tho days of civil war to bo free and Independent of the Ooirtliii'u Otatta. But it takes a race of men to produce a great world's staple, and It can never be done by naked Africans or half-starved Indians. The produc tion of cotton is n6t progressing to any marked extent elsewhere, while here we are Just beginnjng to itnnw now three or four bales may be grown as eadily as one bale was pro duced a f<?w years ago. all of which j Is. spreading a new and richer color ing over tbe lives and endeavors of our Southern folk^T ^ few years of good prices and the distressed cotton j grower will be a dead feature.tn our cotton calculations; a few years of good prices and the smile of prosper ity wilt o'erspreatf (BeTtace of fire South, paint, whitewash, schoolhous es, good roads, good tools, and a rising generation pure in Anglo Saxon breeding, the South'* greatest asset, will attract tho attention of the "Tire South is not to remain al ways a purely agricultural country, -contented wtttrttie prontB vrvtar ?pro ducer. No other section of the world has progressed so markedly in the march of manufacturing, for the cot South consumed more cottoo than all the mills in all other portions of the United States, and the beginning of progress in that direction has Just started. "Time uhravels the mysteries of life, and we know Jthe future of the past, therefore the time is not far distant when the South will be the world's richest domain, and will con sume all the cotton produced in America. For example, a careful computation indicates a production of 17,560,000 baies ln_twenty years, and If we continue to increase In the consumption of cotton during the next twenty ears-tit the same ratio as during the past twenty >ears,_?e will then demand 17,50?/>00 bales for our Southern mill supplies. Then will we not be the greatest country named on the map? Fall River Is rich and powerful, spinning an<J weaving 1,000,000 bales; Manchester 1s a factor in English and world's af fairs, coauming 70,000 bales weekly; i what then will be the position of the | South, growing 17,500,000 bales and consuming n't within her own bord " ? "Our chrop this season will run around the UiOOO.OOQ bales mark, and the' price per pound Will very higli before the end of the cotton year. The spinners demand from us 13,600,000 bales to keep things running smoothly. "To meet the, demand for manu factured cotton goods ambitious cap italists are causing n?w mills to be erected and new spindles lnsUfled^ and to make dertdends possible therfe spindles must be fed.

The late Professor Rowland, of Johns Hopkins University, was the most ejnlnent physicist since the days ^ Joseph Henry. Among his notable achievements in the realm of pure science was the calculation of the] mechanical equivalent of heat and the use of gratings In spectrum analysis. I for which purpose he devised a ma chine that could cut 40.000 lines to the inch on a plate of polished metal. "In- the practical application of his knowledge be was noted as the in ventor of th\*(?niriUplex telegraph ap Some years' testifying- in a" caBe involving /SGLCataract P ow?y Company in : cross examination aV^to whom, in his opinion, was the greatest American scientist, he replied. "I am." After leaving the courtroom one or thw Iftwvwg Yontnrpd to criticise this answer for Its effect upon the fury, whereupon Rowland exclaimed: "Well, what elBe could 1 sajr?

Although only three ol* four men, like the Wright brothers and Henry Farman. have as yet practically de monstrated the possibility of human flight with aeroplanes, the inventors of such machines ans putting out a great variety of designs, which com mand much serious attention. At the Aeronautical Fxpoaltlon In Paris a dozen or more types of these ma chines, inc lading those or the Wrights. Farman and Delagrange, were dis played, together with a large number -ofjmonoplanes, motors, screws, and other apparatus intended for use In aviation. From the quantity of these things, the ingenuity and flnish shown In their making, ftnd the Interest that they excited, one might "derive the fmpresslon that the manufacture of kflying^machlncs, is already an estab lished industry!
