He took his Ufa at his home In that town.- by shooNag himself. He was a man of about 46 years of age and leares a widow and live children co mourn their loss. At the time of his untimely . end he was In the em ploy of the Htnea Planing Miss Com pany and held the eonildence and ee 'teem of hie employers. Mr. Burgees was a brother of Mrs. George W. Lewis and Mrs. J. B. La tham of this city. No reason is given for his rash act Mj. and Mrs. J. B. Latham a%d Mrs. George W. Lewis are now tn Klnston -attending the funeral. Mr. Burgees was well known In Wash ington. ? No re*Mn is ascribed by. the family for the suicide, but it Is generally credited to despondency orer finan cial troubles and poor health. Mr. Burgess was a member of the Royal Arcanum, Odd Fellows and Junior 6rder, and carried insurance with them and old line insurance as well. His, remains were interred in Maple wood cemetery, conducted by Rev. Bernard P. Smith, pastor of the Christian church./ Mr. Burgess was quiet in disposi tion, with a mind running a little to the morbid, which prdbably accounts .for his self destruction. He had | previously attempted it by drinking carbolic acid about ten years ago, but i medical assistance resuscited him snd 'prevented that attempt. That he | had well planned ihls suicide Satur day afternoon, those yho saw him Just prior to the act are convinced.

Senator P. M. 81mmons of North Carolina was looked up oth er day and asked some questions about the preaent statua of the Nor folk-to-North Carolina frbe waterway project, -In wliich the senator, like his colleague tn the house (Mr. Small) has taken so great and so practical an interest. Mr. Small's position on the Rivers and Harbors committee of the house will give him more power than he ha? ever had to press his pet measure, while the pro motion of Mr. Burton to the senate has takeif from the house a fighter of ability who as chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee was always a stumbling block to the mem bers pressing the waterways under takings. Since going to the Ben Mr. Burton has become less strenuous In his opposition, and It is believed that the next regular session of Congress the Atlantic Waterways will have bet ter hopes than they have enjoyed for a long time. As to the Norfolk-Carolina water way in particular. 3ena?r Simmons expresses confidence that something definite will be done towards the ac complishment of the free-canal con sideration at this next session. At the extra session of conraj, such leg islation is not contemplated. The present status of the Norfolk-Caroli na link is that at the last regular session of Congress 8enator Slmmona got through an amendment to the river and harbor bill authorising the secretary of war to make a contract to purchase subject to the ratifica tion of congress, which every one of existing canals might be approved by the Engineer Board of Review. The lower board of engineers reported some time ago in favor of purchasing the Albemarle and Cheea peaks canal If could be gotten for 1600.000. , The Dismal Swamp canal people I complained that they had dot receiv ed a fair show and asked another hearing, which was given them, but It is understood that the tower bojjrd of engineers will no$ change its opln loh. ? Before thU report onn be acted up on by congress, however the Engineer Board of Review must pass upon the whole waterway project, as it would be cheaper to dig the Norfolk water way to the general depth at first than to dig at a less depth now and Increase the depth later. The original project -involving the Norfolk canal was to dig it from Nor folk to Beaufort N. C., at a anlform depth of ten feet. Tn the report of the survey the line was divided into four sections. two low?r ?*c" tlons, from Befcufort north, have been completed, and the third section, con- 1 nectlng the lower section with deep | water in the sounds, may te regard- 1 ed as negligible, fcs Its completion involves an outlay of only about |6. 000 Senator Simmons says that the whole route Is now practically com pleted except the Norfolk end. "Why is It," the senator was ask ed, that the Norfolk end, unquestion ably the most important to naviga tion and the one which the people of both states deal re most to ?oe open ed to free traffic, has been left to the lest?" "Our controlling desire," replied Senator Simmons, "was to get the government committed to the project The ooet of thw Norfolk section was several times greater than that of any other, and the matter was com plicated by the deUT ton as to the route to be choeen .It was possible to dig the south end. and thns get the government commit ted, by an amendment calling for the expenditure of only $660,000; and the practical wisdom of the alt aatlon.

The senator observedthit when the canal was started at the south end the general Boeton-to-Florida project had not supervened in tangi ble shape to complicate matters. He regarded it as unfortunate that this should jhare come along just at a time to postpone the beginning of the special project from Norfolk to Carolina, but says there was no way in which the contretemps could have been prevented by him or by Mr. 8mall. The first survey of ths Norfolk Beaufort route, said the senatoi iu reviewing the history of th* matter was on a basis of 16 feet depth. The report on that survey was unfavor able. the board holding that the ben efit to commerce would not justify the outlay, and suggesting a reduc tion of the contemplated deptn to 10 or 12 feet. A second survey was then secured on a basis of 12 feet, the report in this case being favpra^te. i Right here was where 8enator Sim mons got the lower end through. To do so, however, he had to knock out two feet, and even then succeeded only after threatening to hrfd up the entire river and harbor bill In the senate. Father OaUngher of New Bern was in the etty yesterday en route to Greenville where he will hold low mass He will perform the same ser vice here Wednesday morning. Gather* 17?

Great er id number, fhan, the British Parlia Uament or tti Congress of the Unit ed 8tatee the Southern Baptist Con vention will meet here on May I7tb with delegates present from ever* state in the South. The convention !? made up of mes sengers, or delegates from churches, associations. state conventions, mis sionary societies end Sunday schools. All Baptist churches are independen* Therefore the convention has no au thority 'to hind the churches in Its territory. Its action is advisory, not compulsory. Ministers and lay men are admitted into, the conven tion on the same basis without any offlclal distinction between clergy and men. The Baptist cry through the ages has been "A church without a Prices and a state without a king." They al ways held ap a fundamental princi ple that the Individual soul is com petent to deal with God.- The Bi ble is their only creed and sole guid.. in matters of faith and doctrine From its teachings they bold that al men are born in sin, and can fine salvation only through faith in J? sus Christ. They accept vicarious atonement of Christ, believing in hi* death on the cross; his resurrection from the grave, and his ascension tc the right hand of the Father as the foundation and security of salvation Baptists insist upon what Is callec believers' baptism^ urn a prerequisite to church membership, in the inde pendence of local church, and hold that each church Is a spiritual, dem ocratic body, separate from the state, owing to its allegiance to God. la $ Baptist church there are no priestly orders. Ministers are solemnly set apart to the work of the ministry without official distinction, or author ity, one over another, the terme "pastor," "bishop." and "elder" be ing different names for the same of fice. ? ?? /rf'***.-* kMS ?irar*?4 The convention has three boards: | The foreign mission board, with head quarters at Richmond; the home mis sion board With headquarters at At lanta and the Sunday school board, with headquarters sfNashrille.
