It is also obvious that a major' of Senators regard as quibble any estlonlng of the rights of the UnitStates, in the control of the Canal ne, that do not constitute an equlv* snt to sovereignty. That seems to doubly settled in their minds by e terms of the treaty and by thu st of the expenditure, by the United ktes exclusively, of $400,000,000 the construction of the canal. Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, of orida, one of the moat progressive southern Senators, pre!dent of the uthern Commercial Congress and eminently Identified with several iterway Improvement associations, rors free tolls outright for Amerib ships, believing that there is thing in the Hay?Pauncefote trea that inhibits the United 9tatea >m exercising a natural right over s canal. "I am for unrestricted competition d the prevention of monopoly in [ asportation, which we all agree la s paramount object of the great Lerpriae," said the Senator today. "There is nothing in our future so al to the grand consummation of ? diffusion of prosperity throught our country as the proper care f our national commercial high ys?our navigable rivers and harrs and the Panama Canal.

While I am Inclined to favor the House proposition on the qoestioft of tolls, i believe ws are gotolff to arrive at a solution-a solutk?a that we are in du*y bound to tvfotle and business sentiment of the United States. As to our rights on the Isthmus of Panama, I do not scree at all any treaty or ooncesslon imposes upon the United 8tates any limitations incompatible with soverignty within the limit of the ten-mile wide canal strip. Objection as to limitation of aovarlgnty is mere qulbblylng. The canal, once completed, is completed to endure, and will endure for all time, unless wrecked by some convulsion of nature worse than the world has ever known. Within the next decade I expect to seO a mighty acceleration of business activity, particularly in our gulf states, In both foreign and domestic trade, brought about ^through the operation of the Panama Canal and through continued inland waterway Improvement in the Mississippi Valley, from all of which benefit will rebound to the remotest corners of our country. We are bound to have a thorough coastal canal system, expedited to consummation by the completion of the Panama Canal, a system upon which we have already got an encouraging start. The completion of the coastal canal system, even between the lower Atlantic coast and the lower Mississippi River, with free terminal port facilities, will enable us to go forward, inspired to make the best of our unequaled capacity for production with the permanent assurance of ready means of ditsrlbution which as I have Indicated, is the grand desideratum at which we aim. Nothing would quicker bring about a lowering of the cost of living, which has burdened the bulk of our population, than the conservation of our navigation posilbniftes*tfn the tJriUed States, and the operation of the Panama Canal. Surely we are equal to the problem." N. L. SAWYER SPRAINS MOBILE RACING Mr. N. L. 8awyer on Thursday last while racing hie pony at the W.

" i A - " Beaufort County la Extra-* i. T. Tyer. He 5ui Are Worthy Mr. Editor: After reading the different article* In the Daily Mew* M to the financial condition of the county, the charges of Incompetency, neglect of duty, ignorance, etc . of the Board of Comtaieetoner* and member* of the general amenably I feel ea far from the true condition of affair* and their remedies a* If the article* had not been written. To point out these defects D well enough in a way and 1 suppose It is the duty of the press, for ths protection of the public, that they be made as vivid as possible. This, however, does not strengthen amity or solve problems. . We are reminded of trie beam flT our own eye as well as the mote in our brother's eye. The people want relief from existing conditions more than censure of their servants. The ^ct that the county Is In debt stands for Itself. It is a fact that strikes home to every honest citlsen of Beaufort County and demands the thought end expression of the people who are, or should be, the real rulers. The indebtedness is not without its effect. We have several bridges, nullt a new or repaired, which the people asked for and thought were necessary. I will not attempt to cite the different items of expense or the whys and wherefores of them, but the fact remains that they exist and are likely to exist until some remedy is found. In the first place the county is extravagantly administered chargable to the governing body ss a whole. We have too many offices in the county and the (duties of some of these offices are not commensurate i with the salaries paid. In other words the duties of these olfices can be KtioraMd Just as satisfactorily for a great deal leas money. 'Take the two offices created within the last twelve years and see if they are not either auperflous or conducted at a greater expense than necessary. 1 have been Informed tbat tbe present treasurer devotes less than two hours a day to the duties of the of| flee and yet there has never, to my [knowledge, been one word of comI plaint against him. In fact, bis services have been a compliment to the 'county as well as himself. I claim that the duties of treasurer can be performed just as creditably aa they are now being performed at a saving of at least S per cent and I believe MISS ISABEL BROOM ENTERTAINS FRIENDS Miss Isabel Broom, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Broom, entertained quite a number of her friends at her home on West Second Street last evening from five to seven-thirty o'clock and she proved to be a most charming and attractive hostess. Gaines were played and the contest "Nuts to Crack." was entered into with much enthusiasm. The prise was awarded to little Miss Virginia ' Ray, gueBt of Miss Evelyn Rob6. The instrumental music rendered bv Miss Neta O'Brien and the vocal solo by .Miss Evelyn Jones proved to be the feature of the occasion. Delicious refreshments were served in the dining room. No social function of the 1 season was more thoroughly enjoy-1 ed. Miss Isabel was the recipient of many congratulations from her . guests for an evening they wiil long remember. Those present were: Misses Evelyn Jones, Evelyn Ros... .Laura Branch, i Neta O'Brien, Esther Kessinger, | Maude 8wlndell, Maragaret Wells, : Virginia Oibbs, Bonner Archbell, L.11lie Bell Willis.

WHAT WILSON SAYS "Much criticism has been directed against Governor Wilson by uninformed men and newspapers because of his alleged antagonism to immigration.

It Id the interest of economy end the ?-. <}2m future we 1 to re of the taxpayers. J ' >? asked one of the county officials what * 8 the duties of the Auditor are and IT he thought the office a necessity. He aid: "I?er?that to, you see, well he tabulates bills and O. K't. them." 1 drew the conclusion that the Auditor puts his O. K. on the bills and draws $800.00 per year out of an already depleted treasury, which 1 believe is an imposition on the good people of Beaufort County and should be eliminated. The county chain gang should be discontinued. I am an earnest advocate of good roads but after seeing the roads made by the convicts am convinced that the end does not justify the means. Better roads can be made at less cost by hiring honest labor. The different townships will have to levy a special tax and con- \ struct and improve their own roads. The.present manner of listing taxes is very expensive and entirely unnecessary. It may be well enough to employ the present syteem during years of appraisal, which I think questionsble, but during the three intervening years the old method accomplishes the same results at less cost. The public welfare should be ooa office bolder and while these changes may not be pleasant to contemplate I believe them to be practical, therefore necessary. The Sheriff at one time filled tbe offices of Sheriff and treasurer?let him do so again. 1 don't want to task the office unto any man but just simply merge the two offices into one?there will be some one ready to take the responsibility and give bond for the faithful performance of all the a^tss involved. Require the Register of Deeds to tabulate and calasify bills as they come in, thereby removing the necessity for an Auditor. Demand that the commissioners place a constructive value on the dollar with sn eye single to the number available with which to meet tbe present emergency and future demands. These items alone represent a saving to the county, of six or seven thousand dollars annually and also lsy the foundation for an economic government which alone can represent the idess of the common people.
