' . - ... r ILAS M. GREENE, Jeweler. WASHINGTON LETTER. From Oar Regain! Correspondent. Representative John WmW Gaines, of Tennessee, regards Lt. Governor Chandler, of New York as the most available candidate whom the Democrats can nomi nate for the Presidency. "Chand ler is a strong, clean growine man of great influence and with &n increasing host of strong and influential vounir Democrats rea dy to follow him" said Mr. Gaines and he added, "It will be the young men who will win the Dem ocratic victory. Chandler has shown the finest running quali ties With Lt. Governor Chand ler on the ticket I believe we would have a brilliant, aggres sive and victorious campaign. All Democrats must admire and commend the way in which Lt. Gov. Chandler has upheld the ad ministration in timely reform measures which the New York Democrats endorsed in principle; in their state convention. I serv ed in the house with Louis Chand ler's brother, William Astor, a iiraye, chivalrous gentleman and a modest, sterling Democrat Al though a very rich man, Louis Chandler has shown himself to be devoid of anything whatever of the aristocrat or the plutocrat. A plain, unassuming man, he is a constant, earnest, aggressive Democrat, one who can le trust ed from one end of the country to the other. - It is refreshing to see Democrats turning his way, especially the younger Demo crats, of whom he is the finest type. A report that William J. Bry an had declared that William R. Hearst would be the strongest Democrat in the next national convention has aroused consid erable interest in Washington, because it recalls the report that reached here some time ago that there was no arrangement be tween Mr. Hearst and Mr. Bry an to the effect that if Secretary Taft were nominated, Mr. Bryan would cheerfully give place to Mr. Hearst, whereas if Hughes, Fay-banks Knox or any other conservative Republican were named, Mr. Hearst uinst give place to Mr. Bryan. The report has never been either confirmed or denied but if Mr. Bryan is now going about the country boom ing Mr. Hearst that would seem of itself to lend the color of truth to the report. Thfl JaDaneese exclusion ar. rangement which the President and Ambassador Aoki fixed up winter and was perfected by legislation providing that no Ja panese withoutapasspoiTBuuuiu be admitted to this country is not working well. Japanese con tinue to gain ingress to tne uni a cfooa n.nd nnDarentlv the afficials are powerless to prevent it. The most used scheme to ac complish this is the exchange of passports. Japanese aanm-uw last year, send their passports back to others who wish to come this year, and in some instances the officiate are confident that these old passports have been used over and over and over a gain and yet they are unable to convict any of these using these means of gaining, admission by fraud. Many Japanese are also stealing in overthe Mexican boun darywhere the transportation ol Japanese to unguarded places umr the line has become quite n Jndnstrv. To close tnis ieax " . ..... h Commissioner General of im- will ask Congress to provide for a force of mounted immigration wilr ask Congress to provide for a force of mounted immigration inspectors whose duty it shall be to ride the acces- i.ftnna of the Mexican bouhdarVnd arrest any Japan- ese or others who may attempt 10 gam illegal admission. Of course many are caught, as is shown by the fact that it cost the Bureau of Immigration f 15,000 last month for railway fares for deported Japanese, but many through unprotected. The Secre tary of Commerce and Labor had just completed an extensive trip along the Canadian border and to Hawaii, the chief purpose of which was an investigation of the Japanese problem and before coming to Washington he will make a special report to the Presi dent at Oyster Bay. It is expect ed that on this report. will be based the recommendations to Congress which will be included in the President's next annual message. The Navy Department reports an extraordinary situation in the Mare Island Navy Yard, in California. Congress provided the funds for building a navy collier at that point, 225,000 being the sum appropriated. The plans have been completed, the material bought and assembled and the government is most anxious that the work of construction should begin and that it should be ruBh- ed, but there is such a scarcity of labor that it is impossible to secure any workmen even at the handsome wages which the Navy Department pays to ship carpen- a, - ters, and other craftsmen whose work enters into the construction of a naval vessel. It now seems probable that the Department will be compelled to let the work out to a contractor who can build the ship at some other point where labor is not so scarce. This will unboubtedly injure the Mare Island.yard as a place for the construction of vessels, and it is doubtful, if this course has to be pursued, if Congress' will again authorize the building 01 a vesse there. Already great delay hw resulted and it is even reported that repairs to some naval ves sels, detained as unfit to go to spa without them, can not 1 be made because of the lack of labor or the unwillingness of the labor ers to work for the government. The Navy Department has de cided to change the name of the cruiser New Y,ork to Saritoga, in order that the new battleship now building may be named the New York. In this connection it is in teresting to note that the old Sara toga, nowoutof commission, was constructed at Portsmouth, H, H., in 1848. She was so named in honor of commodore Perry's famous flaershiD on which he fought the battle of Lake Erie. When launched she was t he larg et ship of her class in existance, her length being 150 feet, breadth 36.09 feet. She cost 159,169,a fabulous suin in those days. She carried four 8-inch guns and eighteen 32-pounders Before the Civil War she rendered , excellent service off the coast of Africa and during the war, under the com mand of George Cnlvororessea, ah not onlv protected American shipping but aided in the block- ade of the southern ports until 1890. the Saratoga was used as a gunners' ship and experimental . . .

Mr. Editor: I wanted very much to visit the Three Fork As sociation; because it convened in Boone and then I could have seen, face to face, so many of my former mends, but I had been rom home four weeks in a pro tracted meeting and was worn out, and so many neglected af fairs needed my attention. I have had it in my heart to visit Blowing Rock this summer, but have failed so far. May be I can this fall. We have had some good meet ings in this county this summer. A good meeting closed last Sun day at old Marvin camp ground five miles west of Lenoir, it was a union meeting, but Rev. D. H Coman, of Lenoir, a Methodist evangelist, did the preaching. He is a fine preacher. The earn ground once belonged to the Methodist; but they lost it by failing to comply with a certain condition in the deed. During the meeting, the Marion Evangel ic association was organized. The grounds will be owned and con trolled by a joint stock compa ny and will be improved and beau tided. Tents will be built and an annual camp meeting will be held. The association will be interde nominational.- There is a series of meetings in progress this week in the Lenoir Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. R. P. Walker,, is aided by Rev. Mr. Madry, of Greensboro. Davenport College and the graded school have opened with nattering prospects. The weaver school has suspended and the doors of Lenoir academy are closed for lack of a principal. The trustees, so far, -have .failed to find a suitable man to take charge. Prof. J. A. White, who had been principal for five years, resigned just after commence ment last spring to enter the pas torate. He is at Murphy, N. C. The prospect for Lenoir Acade my was never better, if we could find some one to man it. The town of Lenoir on last Monday, voted for the issue 0 H 00,000 in bonds-f 80,000 o which is for water works and $20,000 for street improvement, L am not within the corporate limits of the town! and therefore. had no vote in the election, but am glad the bonds carried. Le noir will now grow to be a city. I do hope Watauga county wil get a railroad. I am glad the county has so many schools and churches, as these are very es sential elements to prosperity. I was pleased to see that Kcv. J. F. Davis has been asked to serve Three Fork church. As he felt it was his duty to return to his native heath to labor, I re joice that he is finding plenty to do. ' ' ' . - The Caldwell County Baptist Association will meet with Mul berry church on Thursday before the first Sunday in October. The church is near the head of Mul berry, creek, and is some 6 "or 8 miles from Blowing Rock. We would be glad to have several Watauga people with us at that time. This week is fodder harvest with us, but it is raining today, and is giving us a back set. Kind regards to the editor and all the readers of the Democrat. I. W. Taomas. Lenoir, Sept. 11.'

There are folks iu North Carolina who hate the Southern Railway so cordial ly that they would rejoice in its ruin. However, tnis reeling 01 dic temessdoes not obtain among the people to any very consider able extent. They may be misled, but they would not knowingly do injustice even to the Southern. At a time like this it behooves every citizen to calmly study the Question that arise out of this rail road controversy from all sides rather than from one. Hasty con elusions may be harmful. The rail roads are not the people s enemies but their friends. They have been of incalculable service in develop ing the State. The impairment of the credit of either or all of these great systems would be a calami ty. .There is a good deal written about the railroads that is not true. While they have stoned they have been somewhat Binned a- eainst. On the other hand, the lurid pict ure of ruin the railroads andjtheir friends are painting is all bosh. Nobody should be deceived by the the threats of disaster. The Southern Railway, we have no doubt, is making as much mob ey today as it did under the 3)i and 2 cent rate. They must be carrying 50 per cent morepassen gers under the new than under the old law. The prophecies of evil thev are making are very tire some. We dare say if the railroads were assured thojrate reduction would stop where it is they would call off their lawyers and quit, but they are afraid if they yield this Doint otherand greater reduc tions be demanded. We would ad vwe our "people not to go wild on this Question either way. Happy the candidate who preserves his eauilibrinm in this period of pas sion. We need the railroads, and wb must not be unjust to them; but they also need us and would find life lonesome without us. The thing for all of us to do is to get busy with our own affairs and wait until the Supreme Court speaks on the question, and when it does speak the party that is on the wrong side should graceful ly submit. Until that time,, all this wild warefare on both sides is huitful!and senseless. Charity and Children. -. A Humane Appeal. A humane citizen" of Richmond, Ind., Mr..U. D.
