Every Democrat Should Vote and
Vote Early. Uphold Democratic
Principles and Those Who Desire
Offce But Two-Terms and Not For
Life.
(EDITORIAL.)
Every JMnocrst. in Beaufort County should attend the primaries tomorrow
and cast their vote In accordance with the resolution unanimously
passtd by the party In convention assembled two year* ago, declaring that
no officer shall bold any county office looker than two terms.
^ ' > The respective candidates asking this suffrage of'the people upon thia
platform are'good citizens and Democrats. Their lives are clean?their
loyalty to the Democratic party unquestioned and if the people exert their
manhood and support the Two-Term candidates on tomorrow, they wiH
The polls open at seven a. m. and close at six p. m. Vote early and
then lay aside one day and go out and get others, who are seemingly lukewarm,
to cast their vote too. The two-term policy should succeed.. Tomorrow
the verdict will be rendered and when the polls close end the
votes are counted let it be published to the world that old Beaufort county
has once again followed history in that the Democratic party, the party of
the people, has placed in office men who believe in carrying out the wishes
of the people ted that when their two terms In office has expired they will
be willing and ready to step down and out and give their brother hi the
party a chance. This la Democracy. Lets uphold and sanction such principles
at the polls on tomorrow. N

Plans One Gigantic Canal,
the Deeper Waterways CJ
That Public Sentim
New Londori, Conn., Sept. 6.?The b(
standardization of all canalB along
the Atlantic seaboard was advocated te
mid much enthusiasm on the part of m
the delegates -by Cobgresfman John ta
H. Small, of North Carolina, Wed- st
nesday afternoon, in his addressc to at
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways con- na
vention at its fifth annual convention. T!
Mr. Small had been introduced as the in
apostle of deeper waterways and da
followed Charles Elmer Smith, sec- pa
rotary of the Philadelphia Builders' tri
Exchange, who ?read the report of ch
General W. H. Bixby. chief of engi- co
neers, U. S. A., in which a favorable
report had been made for a canal 12
teet deep from Norfolk to Beaufort
Inlet, N. C., at a cost of $5,000,000. n
Mr. Small said that while his
State was to receive the first benefits
of the movement for deeper waterways,
it would work just as energetlcally
for consummation of a plan ^
which would link into one^ great waterway
the 148 harbors and rivers Up
which Indent nearly seven thousand a
miles of the coast.
Factor la Living Cost. "
He added a word to arguments of
other speakers that transportation is ..
a factor in" the cost of living, say- D
ing that by water borne traffic the 6
present hlg'h costs may be cut down.
flu Hill lllll ORi Arbitrary condition ?
faced by populous communities along
the seaboard depending for supplies
upon the great rail lines operating U
between the North and South was
that ulany of these lines either have ?
by outright purchase or under a community
of interest, control of the
present water lines which ought to be I *
a factor in cheaper transportation. wb
The standardization of depth of In- so<
tracoastal canals, the congressman is
held, would enable craft to ply in wa
the smaller waterways without break- wa
ing cargoes. The uniform depth of wl
twelve feet should, however, carry pu
breadth enough U/ enable deepening me
later at Mttle cost. tlo
J j. Sown Mint Oka Terminals. * soi
He advocated municipal owner- tlo
ship of all water terminals. Mr. Bti
Small said: mi
"No town or city can expect to use wa
the waterways unless they are wise ma
enough to insist upon proper termi- ma
nals owned by and administered for r?
the people, equipped with facllltlas
([of handling freight In a modern way. tot
Physical connections between theee trn
water terminals and thy railroads, Fir
preferably by belt lines, should be an<
eperated either by Us municipality the
or the state. The people are supreme ral
in Ue matter oty transportation and the
railroads shoald be dedicated to their nit
service and to their service alone.'' rail
