Mr.'W. E. Evans, one of the most estimable of our recent immigrants to Elizibeth City, has returned from a visit to his old home in Bertie county. While in Windsor he was the giicst of Mr. E. E. Etheridge, one of the court officials of Bertie county. We welcome him home. We had a pleasant cell from Hon. P. D. Winston, Mrs. Winston and Miss Paulino Moody, all of Windsor, N. C,, on Saturday. Xhey were en route from Nag's Hew J, where they had been, after the Ft nr, and failed to witness the ocean m its maddest rage, and they missed something grand that is rare in a century. The Steamer Harbinger now runs regularly between Elizabeth City and Norfolk via Dismal Swamp Can al, on Schedule time. She will be soon followeel by others. The Con al Company will soon have a steamer on the line. Come one, come alh The ball is opened. The long prob lem is solved. The question is set tled and the hope and dream of years is accomplished. The debris of the storm last week is being taken a.vay and our town is putting on its better clothes again. Cit fathers, pray hurry up Poin dcitcr street and heal that chronic sore on the body of Betsy, that the Hcpublican dads left us as a heri tage from their maladministration. We are their administrators and are net responsible for what they have dene and what they bve left un done. Don't forget our linqnet abont the firnt of October, when our Balti more neighbors, who revived thsold Dismal, will como through in their own steamer, with their friends and families to shake hands with us, ex change conrtcsies, and say how de do in the morning.' We'll put a big pot in the little one and have a general good time. Wo always thought that Maryland folks were kin to our folks, with no rivalries to cherii-h and no old sores to heah We had an "appreciated call on Wednesday from Col. Lucien D. Starke, of Norfolk, Va., who was long a resident of this town and an uctive factor iu all our soci&l and business movements. Col. Starke is not as young as when he lived here, but the old time fire is in his eye and his forco is unabated. Our conversation was mainly reminiscent and we found his memory full of old scenes and old friends. When he left us Norfolk took away one of onr best citizens, and also one of our best friends. , Wc had an interesting call and conversation with Prof. J. U. M. Butler, on Tuesday, relating to the Colored A. Jfc M. College at Greens boro, in which he is an instructor, and he handed us its latest cata logue, whicn bhows a heal thy growth and patronage,:1 The college is con ducted on the line of thrift and in dustrial progress, after the model of the school f -Booker Washington, and Prof. Butler speaks in the high est terms of the President, J, B.

The canal is now clear of obstructions, aud boats drawing not more than 7$ feet are guaranteed a safe pa-sage through. . Since the Harbin ger came through the D. S.

Mr. McHorncy'a account will be published, probably next weeV. Our press of advertising matter pre vents its publication in this issue. It is part of North Carolina's history of the civil war, which we have gathered with some difficulty and which we commend to our contem poraries of the press of North Car olina. We had a kind and appreciated call on Wednesday from Rev. Sylves ter Hasseh, of ilhamston, N. C., the distinguished minister of the Prim itive Baptist Church anl editor of its leading newspaper "organ in North Carolina. Mr. Hassell is an author of repute upon religious sub jects, and he gave us much informa tion about the venerable christian body of which he is so influential our member. In Georgia and Texas the body is most numerous. In North Carolina it numbers 10,000. Its membership is chiefly in the Southern and Western States, and it is increasing in number. Notice is given of a grand barbe cue to be served in the centre of the Jackson Road leading f rom.Elizabeth City to Canaan (Parkvulo) on Thurs day, September 7th, 1899. It will be under the superintendence of Peter Pritchard, John Brockett, William Jennings, Tim Ownly, Tom Story and Tom Skinner, members respectively of the Coon & Possum," Bear & Turtle and Deer & Turkey Clubs.

John Barrett, our late min ister to Siam, rvho contributed, to the July number of the Review of Reviews an article on the Philipine situation that attracted much atten tion, has written for ,tho September number of the same ma'gaziuo an article-entitled The Half Year of War with Affuinaldo." This is pro bably the first succinct, summarized narrative of the whole campaign that has yet appeared. Mr. Barrett was with the American 'and and naval forces in tho Philipines for several weeks after the fighting began last February, and he writes from a personal acquDintauce with the lead ing officers on both the Filipino and American sides, as well as with an intimate knowledge -of the islands and their peoples. He draws par ticular attention to the fact that commissioners appointed by General Otis did everything in their power for several weeks before the outbreak to bring about an amicable under standing between Aguinaldo and tho Americans. The conclusion is reached that the fighting was forced by the arrogant attitude of the jingo element of the Filipinos. Mr. Bar rett's article narrates the events of the campaign up to August 21, and it is accompanied by a valuable map prepared from data furnished by the War Department, showing the routes taken duriner tho different V- campaigns and also tho location and dates of all battles.

" I left Elizabeth City on Saturday, August 12th, on the government supply boat with supplies for the stations; arrived at- Nag's Head on themorning of 13th, and on 14th de livered supplies at Nag Head sta tion; left for Pea Island station and delivered supplies; got to ' Chicami comico and delivered supplies on the 15th, and left for Big Kennakeet and delivered supplies; went to Durants, arriving there at 1 o'clock,- as the gale was increasing; went up in Du rant's bay and lay there for 48 hours. On the 17th the tide had raised and it became s5 rough that the sea was overraking her, so I could not keep her free. At 3 o'clock I slipped one anchor and let her drag the other one ashore, as I saw no other chance of saving our lives or the boat. When she started her anchor she plaid off very broad, the mainsail be ing on the mast. The wind took hold on it and broke it just above the pardner. About 4 o'clock we took up in a bunch of live oaks, At 9 o'clock the wind ceased and the tide fell. Capt. Burrus, from Durant's station, with part of his crew came to. us. As there, could be nothing done he returned to his Btation on Monday, the 21st. We "got some planks from the boat shelter which was blown down, and braced it to where the boat -laid, with the assistance of the station crew. On Tuesday, the 22nd, I car ried 11 men, with Capt. Burrus and his crew and the crew from Creed's Hill station. We launched the boat about 150 feet into a creek which led out into a bay. I then dragged for my anchor and got it and left. I got up to Gull Shoal station, took Lieut. Johnson on board, got-to Nag's Head at 1 o'clock that night, left Nag's Head on the 23rd for Elizabeth City, arrived there at 8 o'clock that night. The boat received but little damage except the mainsail and a small tare in tBe jib. Resptfully, . Tiios. M. Gard. SPAINS GREATEST NEED. Mr. R. P.

The company has dredged fifteen feet in depth for a distance of three thou sand feet below the lock at Deep Creek. They have also made deep water below South Mills Lock, in the waters of the Pasquotank River. The canal company has dredged the old Turner's Cut to the depth of ten' feet at low water. Thus far the canal company can insure a sufficient depth of water- r- The canal -Company would not at present guarantee a safe passage be tween Norfolk and Elizabeth City for boats drawing more than seven and a half feet of water, as the Pasquotank has one shoal place, and Deep. Creek at low water has not more than seven and a half feet at the present time. The government has appropriated money to deepen and widen Deep Creek, and also to deepen and straighten the waterway of the Pas quotank River. This work is to commence at once. The company in the mean time intend to improve and widen the canal, and in' the near fu ture the canal compauy believe that they will have a canal and waterway betwet n the points named that can not be excelled in this country.
