This Section Bora a Distinctive and Effectual Pfcrt in Building Up the Greatest of Governments. Chattanooga, Tenn., Times. Writing of the battle of Kings Mountain as a sort of kindred Inci dent to the Mecklenburg Declaration Of Independence, the Rev. Thomas Gregory in a New York paper closes an article of some length with these words: "The whole nation ahould join In building a mighty monument upon the granite summit of the Carolina mountains, for there on that brown October day on hundred and twenty- six years ago, the Southern farmers won the victory without which the United States might never have ex lated." Thls la a sentiment from the rsc ord and it would seem should have a place in the public mind In these days of reconciliation between the aectlona and ahould go very far to ward strengthening the claim of the South to a proud place in the na tion's history for having borne so dis tinctive and effectual a part in build Ing up the greatest republican xov ernment the world haa ever or will ver know. Even the civil war with all Its losses of life and treasure may have been necessary to fix forever In the hearts of men the principle of civil liberty and the rights of the people and unhampered participation in the management of their public af fairs. That war forever aettled the question of slavery and an indivisible union questions tbat If the Southern people had not carried to the sword for settlement at a propitious time might nave in time destroyed the government and rendered universal peace and prosperity Impossible. The United States owes much to the South's patriotism. Its love of liberty ana Its courage and constancy ta all and every emergency, r A Notable Celebration. Southern Pines Tourist, 15th. With -pomp and circumstance, clvlo and military, made notable by the presence of eminent statesmen and enhanced by the participation of the army and navy of the United States, Charlotte haa, this week, with more than ordinary enthusiasm and dignity, celebrated the anniversary ef the Mecklenburg Declaration of. Indepen dence. The Declaration, measured by the usual standards, was not an event of first importance, for It was the ut terance only of the cltlsens of 'a sln- Jrle country, with very limited author ty, but as the bold and fearless fore shadowing of a vastly, more represent tatlve and authoritative utterance, the Mecklenburg- Declaration la not likely ever to be held In too high eateem. Indeed, the niche It haa occupied In our history la much too Insignificant and the nation may be congratulated that the patrloltc pride of the Meek lenburgers and the Intelligent his toric sense of Presldent - Roosevelt have given to this year's observance a recognition that la .national and will be lasting In Ita result. v A'OOOD gUOOESTION. , 'Mr, C B.

ARGUES FOB LOCK CANAL ' (Continued From Page On.) -.; " be a completed . canal .complete-. In every.', appointment, ' for all require menu for generation to come, .- SEA-LEVEL J CANAL NOT SUIT- V.1..'.- ' ABLE..., v;.'-iV-: ;', ' The so-called ' proposed sea-level canal , la not, aa la popularly sup posed,' a strait, open and uninterrupt ed channel, through which ships can freely pass from ocean to ocean, but is, in the first place, equipped with a large tidal lock, the most objection able and dangerous lock, from an op erating standpoint. In use. while the canal jtself Is a deeu. narrow, tortuous gorge, through which large ships- cannot pass, even according to the estimate of tits men who recommend that type of canal, at a greater speed than four miles anikour, an i which will contain i times, according to the same author ity, a current In one direction of two and six-tenths miles an hour. I ven ture to say that no large ship, occu pying, as large ships will, forty per cent, of the prism through which It will pass, can navigate at that speed with that current, safely, under Its own steam. , I venture to say further that in my opinion, no ship owner would permit a large sited vessel to make the at tempt. As a result, It would not be 10 days after this type of canal, was flnlaned. aa planned, until Congress would be called on for an appropria tion, with which to begin the work of enlarging It. . . The loqk cunal, on the other hand, as recommended by the minority of the consulting board, and indorsed by our commission, will have thirty-five mllea of free lake navigation, so that the dinrerence in time or putting large ships through the locks will be more than offset by their speod through the lake portion of their trip, which ts more than two-thirds or the en tire length, of the canal. The locks themselves as planned, will accommodate ships having IS per cent greater tonnage than tho two giant Cunarders now building, which are the two largest ships In the world; wITile In the double gates pro vided for 'each outside lock and the machinery and methods which wfll control the movements of all vessels Into and through the locks, will make an accident to any vessel, no matter what Ita slse almost an impoHslblltty. In regard to the capacity; no man can estimate with any degree of ac curacy the volume of tonnage which will go through the Panama canal. The only guide we can have Is the traffic of the Suet canal. Taking the development of the traffic in the Su es during the 35 years of Its exist ence aa a basis, and continuing the same ratio of increase until the year 2000, the volume of traffic passing through that cans! will be In that year, In rniyid numbers. 4 2.SOO.OOO tons; or, intimating that the Panama oanal. If constructed on the plans which this commission has recom mended, will be opened for traffic in 1916, and estimating that the vol ume of traffic pausing through it the first year will amount to 7.000.000 tons (which Is the best guess that experts have been able to make) and applying the same ratio of increase to that traffic which experience has shown to have developed in the Suez, the volume In the year :'0U0 will have reached 12.500,000 tons. The esti mated capacity of the lock canal, as recommended by our commission. Is 50,600.000 tons per snnum. Unless the development of (he population of the world change the basis of our estimates, the type of canal we. reo commend will be adequate for all business that may be thrown upon It during the next one hundred years. By simply raining the sides of our spillways and Increasing the depth of our locks, we can Increase the depth of water In the canst so as to take rare of still larger vessels than the forty-foot ships, provided for In our present estimate; whereas, In a sea-level canal you would have lo ex cavate the whole distance for every foot of distance made In depth. "As between these two types of canal, which will we choose? Which complies with the requlsement of tho Spooner act, that directs the Presi dent to construct a canal adequate for the safe and convenient passage of the largest vessels now in use or the construction of which may be reasonsbly expected? Which, when built, will be a complete and finished canal? Which will be safer to navi gate? Which will be the better prac ticable Instrument of commerce? Which would we choose If they could each be built for the same cost? Then why waste 1116,000,000 of the peo ple's money In original outlsy snd saddle on them In perpetuity an addi tional fixed charge of 12.700.000 per annum? Which would we choose If they could each be built In the same time? But thev cannot; and that brings us to the great practical question." SHOULD NOT DELAY CANAL'S COMPLETION. The practical question for all sec tions of the country, and particularly for the South, because of Its geo graphical relationship to the Panama canal. Is. how long shall we wait be fore we can enter upon the period of development which the opening of the ca,nal will bring to the country? I am not surprised that European coun tries should not favor the early com pletion of this csnal. I am not sur prised that European countries should not care how much this csnal costs our government. I am not surprised that European countries can reconcile themselvea to an Indefinite postpone ment of the opening of this great waterway. They' are neither paying the bills, nor are their commerce and Industries Injured by waiting for the completion Of this undertaking. But I am surprised that those who are supposed to represent the best Inter ests of (he American people ahould try to throw obstaclea In the way of realising the benefits of this work at earliest possible date. When we can get a better canal for .less money and receive the 'benefits ourselves. why wait; why make It a heritage to our children, with the possibility of their being deprived of Its bene fits through some unforeseen contin gency? I have spoken of a gulf. Now, how wide that gulf shall be depends on the people. Do you want to reap the .benefit of this undertaking your selves, or do you want to transmit a hope of It to your children, or your children's children? BOWIE WITHDRAWS.
