Similarly a blind partisan must pro fess to see In such Isolated Incidents as a pro-Bryan Interview by Mr- Mel' vin E. Ingalls, former president,, of the Big Four and Chesapeake & Ohio Railroads, strong signs of a Bryan victory. The open-minded observer, whether zealous for Mr. Bryan or not, will recall that Mr. Ingalls Is a publicity-loving gentleman who had the habit of giving out breesy Interviews even when he held such responsible positions as might well have made him more careful In his talk. Such an observer will also bear In mind the familiar distinction between the one swallow and the flock which makes a summer; he may perhaps re flect how absurd It would be, for ex ample, to argue that the British House of Lords favors Socialism be cause several of Its members are So cialists rln short, he will bo found making full allowance for the im mense possibility that Mr. Ingalls merely constitutes one of those er ratic exceptions who have always misled the rash or wilfully careless generalizer about things human. Another case In point Is presented by Mr. William Randolph Hearst as seen from changing standpoints. Two years ago, although with his third party outfit this Individual had sand bagged and Intimidated tho Demo cratic party of New York Hcate Into nominating him for Governor, he waa a great man and a patriot. So long, also, as there was any proxpect that he would fuse with the Democratic organization for the national cam paign, flattery gushed forth unbound ed. Once It became clear, however, that he could not be brought Into camp he hecame a monumental ex emplar of Iniquity, a thoroughly bad man whom good people should not associate with. Of course everybody except tho numerous seml-ilteratcs in several larue cities who read only Hearst publications, and a few per- : sons Influenced In their opinion by the outside flattery, have understood the man and his alma wHl enough for these ten years past. His present course Is good or bad only from the partisan standpoint and affords no ground for the change of any candid estimnte. Partisanship has Its rights, but d' not Intellectual honesty, correct Infor mation and common fairness have their rights also? AWAKENED ASIA. ' Following In the footsteps of th" Bhah of Persia, the Sultan of Turkey takes steps toward ' a corrstltutlonal government. China has already made a move in the same direction.

In the Philippines we are teaching self-government and will some day let the natives run things the msolves. Asia, especially Mohammedan Asia and It overlap into Europe, are on the move. To the moral effect of Japan's victory over Russia tho extent and insistence of this movement are In very larRC part due. Asiatic peoples have been encouraged to assert themselves against both native despot and Euro pean overlord. The Russo-Japanese contest has produced consequences which no one could foresee at the time when Japanese torpedo stole on a dark night Into the harbor of Port Arthur. Never conducted any raffle.

In connection with the above clipping I want to call your attention to the 32d verse of this tame 19th chapter ot Acts: "The assembly waa confus.'d; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together." I waa preaent at the Chicago convention in 1896 and saw the tumult after the cross of gold speech. My mind turned to tho EphCKus scene and the verse I have quoted. But don't yon publish my name in connection with this. I'll never forgive you. I Just wanted to say that I enjoy The Observer, and am glad thut It is not yellow. L. Prices of North Carolina Tobacco Puling Itcccnt Years. Southern Tobacco Journal. A report by the Bureau of Labor on wholesale prices from 1890 to 1907, says that the price of Seal of North Carolina granulated smoking tobacco was the same In 1908 and 1907, but that the price of Climax plusr was 2.8 per cent, cheaper in 1907 than in 1906. A table is given showing that In July and August, 1R92, and from October, 1 896, to May, 1897, the lowest price fur plug to bacco during the past scvenleen years was 36 cents per pound; the highest price was 49 cents per poiind from July. 1904. to August. 1906. On smoking tobacco the lowest prlco was 60 cents per pound from January, to JunCj 1898, and (he highest prk-o, 60 cents per pound from Au Kuxt. 1904, to December, J 907. Dur ing the year 1907 the price per pound for Climax plug tobacco was 4 7 cents for each month and that of Seal of North Carolina smoking tobacco was 60 cents during each month. From 1 890 to 1899 the average price per pound for plug tobacco each month was 47 cents, and that of smoking tobacco, of the grades mentioned, 60 cents. Manhood on tho Ilench. Statesvllle Landmarik.

Overman bays It 'Will Be UJa supreme nort to uet a Thirty 1'oot Clianucl Ioiu M'Umlngtou- to tne jsea. The Observer prints by request the following sell-explanatory corre spondehce: , . ' Wilmington, N. C. July I, I0$. Senator Le 8. Overman, . e gallabury, N.-il' . My Dear Senator: As you are no doubt enjoying a well-earned rase from public cares, and can review with calmness all that hat been accomplished by the last Congress, and lay your plans for fu ture work and usefulness, it has oc curred to me It might be profitable to make you a' short, concise report of what has been accomplished In the river and harbor work of the Cape Fear river, thereby encouraging you to renewed efforts In behalf of this great .project. Through the far-sightedness of ths rivers and harbors committee of the House enough money was appropri ated a year ago to carry forward the work on the Cape Fear river and bar, until the appropriations are made this coming winter. With money given us last year, gratifying resultsjhave been attained through the skill of Capt. Earl J. Brown, engineer Ini charge of the work. Three dredge' boats of power and capacity have been work ing on the river since the passing of the last appropriation; one of them notably tho dredge City of Jackson ville, a suction dredge of the latest pattern. This sucstion dredlje Is something new In this section, and the authorities have decided that it is well adapted for the work on the Cape Fear, and the department will more than likely purchase one of similar pattern for permanent use on this river. These boats have deepened 'the river channel from twenty-one feet to twenty-four feet low water for a dis tance of eight and one-half miles, reaching from Wilmington to Crane Island, and when It Is remembered that the Cape Fear has a natural depth of channel of thirty feet Tor 20 per cent, of Its length, you can real ize how raplrlly we are approaching tfie aocorripilshment of the thirty-foot channel project from Wilmington to the soa. It Is very gratifying fvr me to re port that a fewj weeks ago a large steamship drawing twenty-four feet seven inchea of water cleared from Wilmington to the Panama canal loaded with cross-ties, and fnade the trip down the river and out over tne bar successfully. This is the deepest draught vessel we have ever cleared from Wilmington. It is also very gratifying for me to report that the foreign commerce of Wilmington h Increased 73 per cent. In the past year over the business of the previous year, owing largely to greater depth of water In the river, and this In crease In foreign commerce has beeji made In the face of pronounced busi ness depression. Monsieur 3t. Jusserand, the French ambassador, In his address before, the. Aacinnai itivers ana tiaroors con gress laBt December, spoke of the government work on rivers and har bors, as a government investment. valuable because of what It helps, of what It prevents, also of what It yields. Passing over Monsieur Jliascrand's first two reasons why government work on rivers and harbors is a good Investment The Capo Fear river would have hepn a fine Illustration for his use in showing the. yield, as the profits on amount Investad in this river are large, and but few private enterprises yield the percentage of profit, as the money In this particular work is now producing. Up to a year ago Capt. Earl I. Brown, engineer In charge, calculated that for every dollar In vested In the Cape Fear river, an in crease of water-borne traffic amount ing to $15 yearly has resulted. The water-borne traffic the . present year will show even greater yield than this, owing to the Increase of foreign ex ports Just mentioned. The railroads now terminating In Wilmington are Just -beginning to realise the Importance to them and to the State," thla deepening of the Cape Fear river and harbor. The Seaboard Is now expending over a quarter of a million dollars In' depot and yard facilities in Wilmington, and Is now constructing some enor mous warehouses for the storago of bulk fertilizer ithd other heavy com modities, thus placing the merchants of Interior towns along their lines on n parity with the; merchants In Wil mington. Bjf this system of ware houses a dealer. In Charlotte, for In stance, can purchase goods by the cargo, storing them here until the season for distribution, and then shipping them : out to customers In car load lots, with Just as much ease as can he done by the merchants here on the spot. During the past year the Atlantic Hoast Line has expended ;here an eoual amount, say from $200,000 to $250,000. In Increased terminal facili ties, sidetracks, etc. ' The greatest development expected through ; the deepening of the Cape Fear Is Jn connection with the Clinch field Coal Corporation through the Carolina, CHnchfleld Ohio Railway. This road has been located from A connection with .the Chesapeake & Ohio , Railway at ElVhorn City. ; In PUte county. Ky. to. Spartanburg. H. C, a distance of 284 miles; 111 miles of this distance, from Dante, Vs., to Bostlc, on the Charlotte-Rutherford-ton line of the Seaboard Air Line,. Is now under construction. At this date 12S mUes of track have been laid, and over 0 per cant, of the construc tion ,on the remainder of the line be twee'n Dante and Bostic has been completed, and ail the grading will be finished to th Bostlc Connection by the end of October, The primary purpose of this road Is to furnish an outlet from the roal fields of south west -Virginia and eastern Kentucky, to the manufacturing districts o( North and Houth - Carolina,' Georgia and the South Atlantic sea porta. The trafflo to.- Wilmington and South port Will he hindlfd OYSr the Seaboard Air Line through Its connection at Bostlc. Wilmington will be made -one of ths principal coal distributing point, and Southport will be the coaling gtatloa for steamship distributions. , The Seaboard has bceri eVwork on Us main 'line for the past six months, replacing light rail , with 80-pound rail, . and' otherwise re-constructing their property for-'. heavier ' trafflo. With their new terminal facilities at Wilmington, they will be In position or business .on v an , extensive scale very soon, and we are pushing the work of deepening the harbor, so as to be ready to handle (heir traffic as soon . as their Bostio eonpctlon Is complete: . . ft'S ' . JThe.UnJted States government real ties the importance pf deepening this harbor, and1 the. demand that will be made on the government service when the thirty-foot, project becomes an accomplished fact, by, appropriating $300,000 for the custom house in Wil mington, making It one of the largest and best-equipped government build lngs In the South; After pointing ou to you what has been accomplished, I wish to urge upon you the necessity for a rivers ana harbors bill at the next session of Congress, as the ap proprlation for the Cape Fear river will be exhausted by that time, and we will need more money with which to carry on the work. - It occurs to me the only way to get an appropria tion for our local harbor la to advo cate the general rivers and harbors bill, as outlined by the rivers and harbors committee, advocating $50. 000.000 annually for the rivers and harbors of our country, t xne cape rear river need never fear but that it will get an appropria tion each year the Blouse passes a river ana naroor diil aa tna Home. committee on rivers and harbors has committed Itself to the worthiness of tnis great waterway, ana we nave always been met. with a hearty re sponse from them. Our members of Congress are most earnestly urged to advocate the paassge of a bill each year, especially at the coming ses sion, as river and harbor work will bo at a standstill without It. Wit h best -wishes, and confidently expecting your support In this meas ure, and thanking you, for reply, I am. Very cordially. JAMES H. CHAUBOURN. President. Salisbury, N. C. July 20, 1908. Hon. James H. Chadbourn, Wilmington, N. a My Dear Sir: Returning from the Denver Demo cratic convention, I f6und this morn ing your esteemed favor of the 7th Instant giving me a, short report of the work done upon the upper Cape Fear river during the past year, and I again beg to assure you in reply of my deep Interest in this project, which means so much for Wilmington and North Carolina, It fihall be the one supreme effort during my next term. If hot the next session of Congress, to secure, If. pos sible, a thirty-foot "channel from Wil mington to the sea. I see the largest possibilities in Wilmington's future with the adoption by tho government of the thirty-foot project. I am also in favor of a rivers and harbors bill at the next session of Congress, but fear we jvllLnot he able to pass it, as it will be but a short session. If there is an extra session, we will certainly pass It dur ing tne Kixty-nrst Congress. As both partlca are committed to a rivers and harbors bill, I think there will be no trounie in securing an aDDronrlatton. and unless Wilmington and the upper -ape ear are included In the gen eral scheme, there will be trouble. Inasmuch as the president has done me tne honor of niacin me uron the great commission appointed by mm to iook into tnese matters, I think I will have some Influence In helping matters to 'that end. I not only stand for Wllmlnaton and appropriation for North Carolina rivers and harbors, but I stand for Droaa, liberal and a generous .policy, which provides for all the meritori ous waterway propositions of the country and the conservation of our natural resources. , I shall be glad to hear from you at all times In regard to these mat ters", and I hope you will furnish me, at the next term of Congress, all the data and any reports you may have upon the subject, as I wish to be fully equipped for the fight Very truly yours, LEE S.
