7 ROOSEVELT CANNOT COME. Because ot an injury '.sustained-' "1 in Recent Accident. 4 I ; i -Because of .an injury sustained in a trolley car collision, weileen route from Pittsfield1 "to Lenox, during his visit to - Massachusetts; President Roosevelt Willi not . visit Elizabeth City and :theAlbeWrle section this winter. ;This w as .."as certained in an interview with Ex Congressman Jno. E. Beyburn.- -It will be remembered that weeks ago the Tar Heel gave an exclusive account of Mr. Key burn having in vited the president to visit this sec tion as his guest Mr. Iteyburns vacht Gretchen' was in harbor Mon day morning and the - writer went aboard to ascertain why Mr. Roose elt failed to show upV Mr. Rey burn stated that the president's physicians had prescribed absolute quiet for their, patient and that while this had not been observed Mr. Roosevelt, -himself; deemed ' it unwise to attempt a irip to this sec tion just at this time. Mr. - Rey- burn said: "Mr. Roosevelt is much dissapointed at not being ; able to accept my invitation ; ? As he is much interested in : Eastern Jprth Carolina because of the proposed Inland "Waterway. The President wants very much to go over the proposed routes of -this 1 waterway and then he is naturally anxious to try his hand at duck hunting; say nothing of getting a whack at one of those Dismal Swamp bears of which he has heard many tales. I am sorry that I . couldn't get him to come down with me this time; but it is not too" late yet." ' Mr. Reyburn has spent the past two weeks at Durants Island with a number af distinguished guests, among whom were: Geo. W. Boyd, assistant General Passenger Agt, of the Penna, R. R.'; S. H. Kauffman, of the : Washington Evening Star; D. M. Ransdell, Sergeant at Arms of the TJ. S , Se nate ; Col. W. J. Morehead, of Phila.; and H6n. Chas. E. 1 Coffin, of Maryland. . - Mr. Reyburn will return. to this section in about ten days and will bring as his guest A. M. Thackara, tbe American Counsel to Havre France. x- The Result of Whiskey. . in tne prelude to ms sermon Sunday morning Rev. D. H. Tuttle exhibited a copy of the News and Observer and called attention to a list of seven murders chronicled therein and laid emphasis on the fact that all were the result of whiskey. The murder committed here last week was prompted by drunkenness and Mayor "Wilson - tells us that runr figures promi nently in nearly every case tried by him. The above speaks vol umes in denunciation of prorais cious selling oi liquor. INDIAN RELICS. An Interesting Collection to be Ex hibited by Hathaway. - Mr. J. D. Hathaway, Elizabeth City's popular optician and jeweller, is negotiating with Capt. R. B. Wainwright for a loan of his collection of Indian relics for a display in the windows of the formers establishment pn Poin dexter street. The : collection to "which we refer is a valuable one and contains many interesting specimens of the red man's handi work. If Mr. Hathaway succeeds in securing it for exhibition the reader will find it to advantage to pay a visit to the store if for no other reason than to examine the curios. r Hathaway is among the fore most of our progressive business men and is praticilly the only optician in Eastern Carolina; his knowledge of his work being sup plemented with the most complete testing and ; fitting apparatus; this side of Norfolk. 1 V V There is noe eclipsing Mr. Hath away in fairness to their fellow man. One rule .ever i observed in his establishment is: "Satisfaction or your money back." If any: one oecomes dissatisfied with' a pur chase made of him it is his wish that the matter ".Be-lmmedBatelj reme died.: It is needless to ad vise that a business conducted on this prin ciple is, worthy of patronage.

The play is .an ex travagant production ; replete wi th spectacular and scenic effects, that for beauty are uneclipsed by ' any other amateur attempt." -' " " The scenery is the prettiest ever used here and the costumes will be the most dazzling creations of histrionic conception.

This spec tacular comedy production is a laugh producer that should not fail to extract the price of admis sion from! a mirth loving public ; . The piece has many new features this year. ; T. H. Simpson runs . a whiskey distillery in Anson county. A year ago Rev.,C H. Martin, ex-Congressman from thatdistrict, and Rev. James little held revival services within a few' yards of the still with the avowed purpose of breaking it up. They predicted that it would not run a year. Last week they held another meeting there and Rev. Little referred to the still; as "Simpson's Hell Kettle." A few nights, afterwards j some one put two ticks of .dynamite under the still and blew it up. ' Simpson has written to the collector of internal revenues charging that the evang elists did it, and concludes his let ter by sayings "God being my helper lam going to keep on mak ing corn whiskey down here." INLAND WATERWAY. The Oisiaal Swamp Route Most Feasibile. ' Our friend Jno. F. ' Foster of South Mill than whom there is not a more progressive man in his county, writes the following able defense anent the feasibilty of tne proposed inland waterway through the oldBismal Swamp eanal. My Bear Sir I notice a com munication - in Friday s paper, written by a Mr. Stout, of Great Bridge, Va., commenting at length on the feasibilty of the goverment engineers recommendiug the Albe marle and Chesapeake canal as the best route for the proposed inland waterway from Beaufort Inlet, N, C., to tidewater Virginia.' In his article he assumes the 'distance shorter through the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal which of course is not, as We find it by reference, to the actual survey,' .and that the Pismal Swamp canal 'would have to be dredged to a deptlvof twenty five feet to maintain :the -desired depth of sixteen. Thispf -'course, can be better "answered By : a '; civil THE TARHEEL; FRIDAY, engineer: but by my. actual? obaer vation and experience of the same kind of work in Turner's Cut , C this )s absurd to. think the least of it ; It is a fact without contradiction, that since the com" pletion ot the Dismal Swamp canal the regular trade that had so longj; used ;,the ; Albemarle ; and Chesa peake canal (with all. of its great advantages) has come this 'way. Now there must be' some reason for this not seen by you or myself and only " the captainsV who have had to travel these two" canals are able to explain. . It is just as pro bable and feasible that the Dismal Swamp canal could be utilized without 'locks as the Albemarle and Chesapeake - could. If any fair-minded ' man will study the disvantages v that are now and would arise in Currituck sound or the North Carolina portion of the Albemarle and Chesapeake, canal and that shiftless bottom of the North river, they will readily see the great expense that is now and would 'continually . have to be kept" up by the ; government in keeping open the channel, As to those mammoth pumps and reser voirs Mr. Stout refers to in order to furnish the Dismal Swamp canal with water, they could be operated at a great deal less expense than it would be to keep the sand shoals out of North river alone. Now about the water supply for the Dismal Swamp cvnal. According ly to statistics there has ben less rainfall in our section of the state to September J. 5, since 1892 but the Bismal Swamp canal has still gone on without drawing very much on her reserve water supply (Lake. Brummond), but suppose there was no Lake Brummond to feed this canal, we are prepared to prove ihat there would be plenty of water from the springs in the earth since the deepening of the canal it takes no more water from the lake than it did before, and should it be dug to a depth of six teen feet or more I venture to ; say there would be no use for any water from Lake Brummond. Looking at it from another stand point, why should -.; any , one prophesy that Lake Brummond should ever go dry. It has silent ly lingered there in the bosom of an almost endless forest for many moons, and no mortal man know- eth from whence it came or whither it will go. There are several other reasons why the . Bismal Swamp canal route should be recommended, that is if the United States govern ment really wants to benefit the greatest number of people. On this route is one city alone of 10,000 inhabitants and two villages of 40G to 500 inhabitants ' each, and many other smaller plf ces, while there is virtually no one but a few who might be employed on the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal to derive any special benefit by its going that way. While it is left to the government engineers we feel no uneasiness about the route these fair-minded gentleman will recommend. Years of experience in this class , of work has taught them that the very things the enemies of the Bismal Swamp canal are trying , to "ram down the public's throat" about the water supply, will not stand - the - test of past experience or future research. J. F. Fosteb South Mills, N. C; Oct; 11, 1902. Oysters are Here. , Gibb's Preserving house IS working ull time with a force of nearly, two hundred hands and the nature of the work is canning oysters. Up ' to - this writing several boat loads have been re cieve(i and it is not thought that the ' supply will slacken : in r fact the1 outlook: Is much better than was fist expected. The oysters are of prime quality: much salt water in the sounds f this summer having much to do with fattening them. - ' Carrie Nation, who is in !
