we thocght the enterprise so Tery ex
thAt we rare It far arable ad-
rance notice upon receipt of the pros
pectus from tho editor of The State,
We were glad to do this, and never
for a moment expected that the paper
at the South Carolina capital would
boost our seaport of Wilmington, the
altruistic age not being upon the
world yet. ...
-As everyone who read our edito
rial on-the subject is obliged to Jmow,
our criticism waa not of the Colum
bia State, but of the article by the
State Commissioner of Agriculture.

Watson, in which he printed a table
to show the mileage from various
points la the country to the PrinPai

more. Norfolk and Charleston, falling
to Include Wilmington among the
pmdpal porta with Norfolk and
cSrlSton in face of the fact, that
WUmlngtoQ's exports amount to many
tealhose of Charleston and largely
exceed the exports of NorfoHc and
Portsmouth combined, and tat her
import duties at least ejual those of
Charleston or Norfolk.
It Is up to Commissioner Watson,
if he chooses to explain, why the un
accountable omission waa allowed. Ye
JFTot expect The State to take up
the cudgels for Mr. Watson, for we
did cot presume The State became
iVsWlble for what was in the algned
articles In 1U big export ed Uon.
-HowcTer. since The State has ta
ken It up. we respectfully beg to re
- rntnd that learned, astute and enter-
,,t thit seaports are mea-
UrS by the amount of ielr exports
and Imports, not by lb. depth of wa.
Ur In their harbors. We know or
pJUs where the water Is of almost
. Jxnfathomed depth that are not sea
ports at alL Also we hope we may
permitted to say that we did not
a!t until Charleston became a Nortn
Carolina town to take notice, coasplc
mros or obscure or her laudable ad
Tertistng efforts.-
The Times has thus reminded The
State that we heap coals of fire on
the head of Charleston. When The
Star realized that Wilmington was
too late in the movement to be made
an Immigrant station. It pulled ror
Charleston. The Star also expressed
gratification when Charleston secured
that navy yard. It has been only a
few days ago that The Star took pride
In mentioning that the oOdal who
Inspected the Charleston nary yard
some days ago spoke of It In a flat
tering manner In his report at Wash
ington. We cannot detract from the
Importance of either Charleston or
WUmlngton by attempting to ignore
them. IJoth have their advantages.
tad neither have gotten from Con
gress what they deserved to build up
their commerce. So far as The Star
Is concerned we would like to see
every Southern port developed and
we hope they will be looked after by
Congress In pro port! on to their oppor
tunities to develop the commerce of
this country the United States not
the South particularly. Congress will
fail to do Its duty if It does not do
everything In Its power to develop a
commercothat Is simply waiting for
deep water facilities at our ports.

IN WRECKS AT SEA.
Th Way Men Act When They Lose
Their Heads and Nerve.
What has most struck me in my
many experiences of shipwrecks has
been the strangely diverse ways in
which the passengers acquit them
selves under intense excitement and
panic, said a lifeboat man to the
writer.
Women cry, faint and cling to each
other, but are least trouble. Men often
act very strangely. I remember one
man throwing into the lifeboat a heavy
trunk which he wanted to save, but
which we promptly heaved overboard.
Some men become quite panic strick
en. I've seen strong men. probably
brave enough in other cases, flghtlnji
fiercely for the life buoys and thrust
ing the women and children aside in
frantic endeavors to leap into the boat
first; yet, strangely enough, one man
who thus disgraced himself has, since
obtained the Royal Humane society's
medal for saving life at sea, thrice voi
unteeriag with a scratch crew in aid of
a distressed vessel.
I'tb known others who became so
stupefied with fright as to resist all at
tempts at rescuing them, oegging to ue
left to die and having to oe lorciuiy
thrown Into the lifeboat Some per
