Ronretfilng of the principal Editorial Wrltrr and Paragraphed of Tlie Houston Post. The Fourth Estate. George M. Bailey, chief editorial writer for The Houston Post, has been in active newspaper work for thirty years. He went to Texas from North Carolina some twenty-seven years ago. At first he conducted a country newspaper, but since 1S87 he has been connected with the dally press of Texas. For fifteen years he fllle.I various positions on The Dallas News, among them city editor, edito rial writer and for six years Washing ton correspondent. Mr. Bailey's wide experience as a political writer and correspondent has enabled him to take high rank in editorial work, but his success in the paragraphic field, which has attract ed so much attention, came about largHy through accident. Several years ago Col R. M. Johnston, the editor of The Post, requested him to diversify his work by writing some paragraphs and the experiment Imme diately placed The Post In the front rank of the paragraphic list. In the matter of versatility. Inci sive wit, sunny humor and, above all, unfalirng optimism, Mr. Bailey's par agraphs have delighted all the read ers of The Post and every exchange editor to Wbom The Post goes. Hous ton and The Post are known from ocean to ocean because of BalKy's catchy way of paragraphing. Recently Mr. Bailey was chosen special messenger to convey the Texas electoral vote to Washington. Yanderllp Pessimistic. New York American. "I doubt very much If the present government deficit will adjust Itself through the return of better business conditions," said Frank A. Vanderllp, president of the National City Bank. In an address on "Government Bonds and National Banks," before the West 6He Young Men's Christian Associa tion. "We have tsOO.OOO.OOO in currency secured by bonds which have a ficti tious value. In the sense that part of theirprice is not an investment," he continued. "There Is a revision of the tariff ahead of as, probably a reduc tion in the, duties resulting in a Je crease fiTre.ve.nuea, "though not of ne cessity, as the Imports may increase.

The bill was finally defeated J 7 to Si. The House went Into committee of (he whole again on the machinery act, taking it up at section 14, "Re ports from corporations." Amend ments by Dr. Gordon, substituting "Corporation Commission" for "State Auditor" and "State Treasurer" In this section and likewise In Sections 35, I , 18 and 39 were adopted with the purpose of putting upon the Cor poration Commission the burden of looking after the corporate excess.

Another commit tee amendment adopted makes It th duty of the commissioners of each county to employ a competent person to search for property not listed, and put It on the books, the bost not to exceed ten per cent of the revenue so derived, expense to be dlveded be. tween county and State. THE HOl'SE. The House was called to order at 10:39 o'clock by Representative Morton Pray r by Kev. L.. V. Johnson, of Hlllsboro Street Christian church. Dowd: Amend the charter of Charlotte. Including an enlargement of the jurlsdlc- dlctlon of the recorders court; regulation nf public service corporations and con solidation of commissions agreed on In the event of the defeot of the new charter by the people. Dowd: Relating to the payment of taxes cn property sold for taxes. Dowd: Secure Interest on State funds. The Cleveland county primary bill pass ed by the Senate, was called up by Mr. Lovelace and at once there was a polit ical fight. Messrs. Grant and Haishaw both offered amendments thut the act Hp ply only to the Democrat Ic party and Mr. Taylor that It should not be effective un til adopted by each party In convention and by Mr Hall that It shuuld not pre vent any voter from votln for any can didate than those nominated In the pri mary. Messrs. Lovelace. Oreen. Camp bell. Mitchell. Grant. Harshaw and Mc Neely took more on less part In the de bate, the main objection being that It regulated the Republicans by tl Demo cratic party and making a voter Indict able for perjury who should fall to vote an his primary decreed. The bill was finally passed on second reading. 5 to 49. and all the amendments voted down. The Senate tellers were waiting for the Houso to elect a trustee of the University ci North Carolina to till the vacaaty caused by the resignation of Representa tive Georg! W. Connor. Ur. Barnes, of Hertford, after saying that th rommil tee had irk-d to get Air. Connor to re consider, but he understood thai was impossible, placed In nomination F. A. Woodard, of Wilson. Mr. McNeely nomi nated John A. Parker, of Charlotte. Mr. Everllt named Rev. N. H. D. Wilson, of Laurlnburg. Mr. Majetle placed the name of S. S. Mann, of Hde, in nomination. In reply to a question by Mr. Doughton. Mr , Barnes said the oonimitlee had been un able to agree. The chair named Bowls and Underwood as tellers. The. vote in the Huuse was Woodard 28, Parker Wilson 10, Mann 14, A. D. Ward 1 atd P. J. Macon 1. Thie tellers reported 44 voted for W oodard in the Senate and lift was declared elected. Mr. Kitchln moved to postpone the spe cial order for 15 minutes and pass his Halifax primary bill, but the "House would not do It. The special order was the machinery bill and Dr. Gordon moved the postpone ment until to-morrow on account ot the sickness of Speaker Graham, who had several important amendments to offer aiul was unable to leave his bed to day. Mr. Dowd objected to this on account of the lateness of the session, but llnully they agreed not to press objection but to leuve it to the House. Mr. Gordon s mo lion was lost. The House then went In to the committee ot the whole and took up the machinery bill section by section. A committee amendment to Section 3 was adopted striking out the salary of Sou to the members of the State tax com mission in addition to their salaries as corporation commissioners. The next change was In Section Z2, "what shall be specified on the tax list." An amenament by Mr. Butler was adopt ed striking out the clause that the capital stock In non-resldcnt companies shall be deemed credits within the meaning of the act. Mr. Doughton explained that this had gotten Into the section In some un known way two years ago. It wan bWlev ed improperly, It never having been In the machinery act before. When the section on bank taxation, 33, was rebd, there was an argument, as had been expected. The sub-committee on finance had recommended an amend ment making the bank pay county, mu nicipal and State taxes on capital stock, but the full committee had voted this down. Mr. Dowd was free to say he was personally In favor of it. As it is now the bank pays the Slate tax. but tha shareholders pay the county and munici pal taxes. Mr. Connor offered an amend ment to the effect that whenever the stockholders so instruct the cashier, he saall for the bank pay the county and municipal taxes and charge it to the ex penses of the bank, so as to relieve the stockholders from paying this tax in the communities where they may happen to live.' He argued that it waa against the policy of banks anyhow to pay large divi dends on stock, so the shareholder would not lose, and the community where the bank was located, the holder would not lose, and the community where the bank was located would gain largely. Mr. Bowie opposed this with vigor, holding that It was not fair to the small rural towns and country districts where the stockholders may live, giving all the tax benefit to the city having the bank, dwelling on the principle that the tax should follow the personal property. Mr. '. Doughton seconded the efforts of Mr. '"Bowie along this ihi. Mr. Rascoe was for the bank paying municipal tax. Mr, Lee spoke against it, and Mr. Henderson hardly knew whlcti side to take, but fi nally took the city "end of the argument, saying he hoped some day Yanceyvllls wpuld be in that class. Mr. Dowd offer ad an amendment by-war of compromise that the bant pay all the municipal taxes and the shareholders pay trie county tax here they live. He declared that the cities of North Carolina were finding it harder to lio laaa any other communi ties. Mr. Doughton asked If that was not because they were Indulging in too many luxuries that the country folks could not get. Mr. Dowd would not agns to that. Tha Dowd amendment was lost. U to 44. and tbo Connor amendment was voted down. An amendment by Dr. Gor don to substitute Corporation Commis sion for Auditor everywhere in the sec tion was aaontad, ba saying that a good deal was being on corporate excess. Tben the section as amended was adopted, and the committee arose. The machinery act was made a special order for to-night at t o'clock. The House at 2:3S o'clock took recess until t o'clock this afternoon. GOOD ADVICE TO NEGROES. Stick to the Farm and Mako Home AUrartlve. From the Declaration of Principles Adopted at the Annual Tuskegee Conference. As representatives of 700,000 negro farmers of Alabama and of the South, we urge our people to assist In the en forcement of the laws against the liquor traffic, wherever they exist As a people, we know the evils of the liqor business, and we should not fall into the habit because the laws are made by some one else, of shirking our responsibility In seeing that they are enforced. To negro farmers throughout the South we gay: Stick to the farm. The cities have proven a curse to too many of our race. In spit of hard ships and special difficulties, we are making progress on the soil. In Ala bama, alone, negro farmers paid taxes ten years ago on $7,000,000 worth of property; now they pay taxes on over $11,000,000. To all our people in the rural dis tricts we say; Stand by the rural schools Do not let your children wan der away to the cities because they cannot get proper schooling at home. W' can Improve our home schools. In a sir gle year the farmers of one coun ty of Alabama contributed $3,000 from their own pockets to lengthen their school terms and improve thelrschool buildings. To our women we say: Make the home more attractlve.plant flowers In your garden. See that the house Is painled or whitewashed, raise chick ens, and improve your cooking. We arc glad to note in this respect, an Im provement In some of our country schools, where we are beginning to teach sewing, cooking, and -with the aid of a school farm, practical farm ing In connection with the other school branches. Dr. Hull's 25-Cent Fees To the Editor of The New York Evenlnu Post: Sir: Not only was Dr. Bull one of the greatest operating surgeons that ever lived, but what a man he was! The following will Illustrate what I have in mind : Shortly before he was stricken with his fatal Illness a young East Bide physician called at his office anj said that he was attending a poor girl over In his neighborhood who would surely die unless operated on. The family was too poor to pay, and the doctor did not feel that he was equal to the operation, Would Dr. Bull give him a little advice as to how to proceed '.' "Well, I guess we had better go and take a look at the patient," asld Dr. Bull, puttlnp on his coat. They found the patient In an East Ride tenement, and in less time than It takes to tell It Dr. Bull had Ihe room cleared and began the operation. When he was leaving, the father of the will met him in the hall and forcel a quarter Into bis hand. Dr. Bull thanked him and went off feeling as happy happier than l he had re ceived a $1,000 fee. The girl got well. New York will miss Dr. Bull.. REPORTER. New York, February 23. Lies. IJfe. The Tlllmans are visiting at the White House.

Some of the Difficulties In Construct ing a Clear Ditch. Engineering News. There are problems In connection with a sea-level canal which have never been solved, and no engineer can say how many millions might be required to conquer some of the dirtl culties that face a sea-level cut across the itshmus. What are some of these difficulties? We will try to make them clear to the non-technical reader, who thinks of the sea-level canal as merely tho task of digging a deep ditch all the way across the Isthmus. That looks stu pendous but simple to the layman; and for a part of the way across the forty-mile neck of land which divides the oceans this correctly describes the work. In the nlne-mllo section through the great Culebra cut, for example, with years enough of time and mil lions enough of money, the engineers can Jig down through the rock and make the enormously greater excava tion which the sea-level canal would require. But It Is In the long twenty-five-mile stretch, from (latum to Baa Obispo, through the swamps and along the course of the Lower Chagres river that unsolved difficul ties face the projector of a sea-level canal. How much digging will be re quired to oteatp a forty-five-foot deep sea-level canal over this section? Who knows how much material will flow Into the cut front the sides? It Is along this section that the Panama Railroad crottes a quagmire known as ihe Black tSwamp, where piles of 100 feet lung fall to find bottom- Here In 1907 600 feet of track of the Panama Railroad suddenly disappeared. It must be plain to any one, even if wholly unfa miliar with engineering matters, that such material Is most unfavorable through wHirh to construct a cut of great depth. Remember, too, that the ground level steadily rises from Ga tum. all the way along the Chagres valley, to Bas Obispo In the swamp near Gatum the bottom of a sea-level canal would he some fifty feet below the general ground level. Near Bohlo the bottom would be some seventy feet below this l-vel At Gamboa, where (ho Chagres river enters, the bottom of the river bed would be some ninety feet above the canal bottom. Can the reader Imagine what would happen to this deep ditch, dug far below the level of tho surrounding country and for much of the way through soft quagmires'' Can he form an Idea of the wneh all along the sides of such a channel subjected as It would be to an enormous rainfall? Has he any conception of the results that attend a rainfall of twenty Inches and over in a single month? fan he understand the radical differences be tween a deep ditch cut through Ihe rainless desert of Suez and a far deep er ditch cut through the soft alluvial deposits of the Lower Chagres val ley? HAMPTON KO.VDS AND HISTORY. Great Fleet Swings at. Anchor Whore First Ironclad Was Moated. Boston Transcript. The historic, coincidence is always with us If we keep a sharp lookout for It to recognize it when It comes. It has come In the presence of the bat tleship fleet at Hampton Roads. In deed, It was there when the fleet as sembled fourteen months ago for Its departure on Us famous voyage. Those are the waters In which was fought the battle that revolutionized naval warfare. The Merrlmac and the Mon itor waged their world-shaking duel not far from where the fleet bas cast anchor. The Merrlmac. or as the Con federates renamed her, the Virginia, crushed the stout wooden Cumberland and Congress as If their sides had been so much pasteboard The pro jectiles from their batteries skipped from the mail of the Confederate ram like peas from hot Iron.

Newburyport dispatch to New York Press. An unprecedented scandal of liquor drinking and cigarette smoking on the part of boys and girls In the high school waa brought to a head Tues day by the expulsion of a girl member of the Junior class Other expulsions are expected to occur. The expulsion of the girl came as a result of an In vestigation Into charges of misbeha vior on the pnrt of boy and girl stu dents by the school committee At a reception and dance given for Miss Helene Robinson, a new teacher In the hlph school auditorium. on last Friday night, it is alleged that whiskey was brought into the school by one of the boy students, and that four girls and some of the boys went Into the basement, where they drank tho contents of the bottle and smoked cigarettes. On returning to the hall. It Is al leged that one of the girls was so In toxicated that she could hardly walk, and that the others showed evidence of their carousal. This 1s the seem 1 scandal of this kind that has develop ed within three weeks A short time ago the high school basketball team was disbanded because of misconduct at Dummer Academy, where it was playing. Valuable Horse browned in Lumber River. Lumbarton Robesonlan, 1st. Mr. C. A. Prevatt's fine black horse, which waa perhaps the handst.mt&t animal In town, was drowned in Lum ber river near tbe old saw mill oppo site Mrs. Rebecca Toon's rel len e, Friday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock- The accident was a very dis tressing one. Mr. Prevatt, with a small colored boy. drove to the river In a wagon after sand, and he stoppei with the horse very close to the bank. Once the ground gave very slightly and the horse was made to move, and then suddenly the ground gave way entirely and he was precipitated hea i foremost down the steep embankment Into some twenty feet of water, the wagon piling In on top of the horse. The distance and manner of the fall made It impossible for Mr. Prevatt to do anything toward saving the horse. La.ter .the harness' was cut from the body of the horsa and the-wagon was hauled out, except the beJ. whlch was wrecked. Tha shafts were also broken and the wagon was otherwise damaged.
