All communications shouJd.be address to The Carolina Publishing Company, Elizabeth City, N. C WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1906. Kentucky may be the mother of sen a'Uiii but Nebraska think-, -it knows a Et i:e that is soon to begin' I 'doing onK thing in the-mothe. 'of -presidents lir.e. Isn't it about time we were "get ting the truth' ' about the Panama canal again? Surely much truth must have accumulated since we were landed the last batch. Secretary Shaw is said to be a good walker, but he can pick up more tacks with his bare' feet than any other man in the cabinet. Freddie Muth is glad he. didn't re main in the mystery business like Charlie Ross. v The two New York balloonatics who spent the night in an airship, didn't lean up against the counter and sing "we wont go home until morning." There are some things that not only spojl by being kept too long on ice: pure food bills, 'for instance. Con gressmen take notice. A Chicago physician says the coun try is going insane -for. lack -of rest. Hope that the president and congress will see the point. Congress having shut up the canteen in the army posts, is now going to do the -like lor the soldiers' homes and "Yellow stone Park. Congress Is grow ing 1oo sublimely good for humn -nvt '.tureV daily food -and drink. President appears to feer that in the present emergency he has to do the talking, for something like 80, 000,000 people, and he has np dwuosi tion to shirk the job. The peace movement in Russia ap pears to move crab-fashion. 9 There are. 14,000 species of the po tato family, and a different bug for each species. - 4' If Chairman Shonts is going about acknowledging that there are "law less rich,' ' he will be invited into few er directorates. That is too much like thinking. With Bryan, the Longworths and John D. Rockefeller in Europe, the old world is being made familiar with at least three of "America's 57 varie ties." President Will Visit j ' Canal Zone. ;..' It is announced from the white house that President Roosevelt will defer his trip to California and will make a visit' to the isthmus of IPana ma arid devote a week to it. He desires to familiarize himself with the intricacies of the Panama work. The work is an intricate one. He loves ' a strenuous life and he wants to see why it takes .three years in preparation before putting a spade in a ditch. The public mind is sick and tired with delay and the visit of the presi dent will do much to satisfy them. At present it is a tangled web of mystery and the president will doubt less look at it, with the practical eye of a man who has met difficulties and overcome them. His visit will be no holiday pas time. Panama is4 no summer resort to spend an idle hour. It is beset by the most despicable insect enemy that afflicts mankind. Disease in its most terrible form makes its home and headquarters there, and President Roosevelt will have no honeymoon in his week's stay there. But duty calls and tho nath of rlntv is the path of honor. We shall look anxiously for the president's observations, and we trust that his report will relievo the public mind of. its doubts and difficulties.

It cost the government $100,000 to extradite Green and Gaynor and bring them to trial.

Poplar Branch, N. C, June2G. On the 24th of May, 1906, the death angel visited the home of Mrs.'Will S. Dun ton and claimed the spirit of her be loved husband, aged 34 years. Mr. Dunton was born in Currituck county, N. C, and remained there until the age of manhood. He strived hard to obtain an education and make him self; useful. After obtaining an or dinary education he was enployed by Sharber & White, of Elizabeth City, as bookkeeper, where he worked with energy and zeal, and by his constant kindness to please others he yon the respect and esteem of all who knew him. To know him was to love him, but alas amid his business career nc was strickenwith a peculiar disease which was pronounced a break down of the nervous system caused by over work. Finally he had to give up work and become helpless. He bore his suffering without a murmur and died in the full triumph of faith trusting in his Savior. He was a kind husband a dutiful son, and a devoted brother. So far as the writer knows' 5s out an enemy. He leaves behind to mourn his loss a devoted wife and sister and an aged mother. May God in his goodness bless them and help them to meet him where parting is no more. Dear one our toils will soon be over, The victory soon be won, The shining land'is just ahead Our race is nearly run, We are nearing Canaan happy shore Our home so bright and fair, Thank God we will never sin again, There be -no sorrow there.

Hatteras, June 23-One of the most popular and pleasant entertainments ever given at Hatteras was held "on Monday night at the public school building by the singing class of the Ox ford Orphan Asylum consisting of 14 boys and girls. The house was pack ed to overflowing, and long before the exercises began, standing room only was to be had. The exercises consisted of songs and reci tations by the children, and the entire programme was most excellently ren dered, and the singing and acting of the children certainly reflects great credit on the managers of the orphan age and speaks volumes for the splen did training given at that institution. The class was accompanied by the Manteo Cornet Band, who furnished music for the occasion. 1 The music by the band was delightfully rendered, and was greatly enjoyed by all. This was the first brass band that' has ever been at Hatteras, and it was certainly a great novelty, the entire population turning out to hear the music. The Manteo band has only been organized a short time, but from the excellent quality of the music the boys furnish ed one would think they had been playing for years. An excursion was run down from Manteo on the steamer Horton under the management of Mr. B. G. Crisp and other prominent masons of Man teo, the steamer arriving at Hatteras about, 7 p. m; and bringing a large number of people besides the band and the singing 'class. V." . . After the exercises were over at the school house a social reception was tendered the visiting masons, the sing ing class and the band by the Hatteras masons at the home of Mrs. S. L. Dosher, where a delightful luncheon of ice cream, cake and other refresh ments was served. The charming young ladies. Misses Leona Gaskins, Eliza Willis, Nellie Nelson, Ela Wlliis, Gay Oden, Mattie Burrus, Katie Stowe. Comfort Oden and Melissa Smith vol unteered their services to wait upon the guests and the excellent service of these young ladies together with the splendid management of Mrs. Dosher ably assisted by Mrs. ' W. Z. Burrus, Mrs. J. W. Meekins Mrs. W. H. Gaskins, Mrs. Luther D. Burrus and Mrs. W. L. Gaskill had the effect of making ever one feel perfectly at home, and although about two hundred guests were served not a single hitch or unpleasantness occurred to mar the enjoyment of the occasion. During the reception the Manteo band dis coursed delightful music in the large hall of Mrs. Dosher's home, where provisions had been made to seat the entire band, and while the guests were enjoying the delicacies served their ears were being delighted by the charming music of the band. Taken altogether this was the most success ful reception ever held at Hatteras. and he pleasure of the evening will long remain in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to attend. A vote of thanks was tendered to Mrs. Dosher and the other ladles for their kindness by the Masons, and the sing ing class and band declared they had been most charmingly entertained. . The people here wish the orphan class the most abundant success and hope that Hatteras will always be in cluded in the list of places where their yearly entertainments are to be given.

PROJECT THAT NOR- FOLK SHOULD ENDORSE. Apiopos of the application of the Norfolk & Southern Railroad to the war department for permission to build a bridge across the Albemarle Sound, from Edenton to Mackey's Tine largest Mine Phone 184. THE ELK. For stenography and typewriting work, at moderate prices aDolv at office of A. C. Hathaway, room 5 over McCabe and Grice's store, Elizabeth replacing ihe ferry now in use the suggest nn that' the busines organiza tion of this city and othe- points'on the system endorse the project Is tixB-ly, and ought to be adepted. The plans of the system contemplate a new all-rail line from this city to Ral eigh, N. C, and another to New Bern, N. C. (both now under construction.) The substitution of a-bridge for the present ferry is a part of that plan, and a necessary part of It. if the sys tem Is to be the important hlgiway of commerce that ;t ought t'. become. It can readily be seen, therefore, that from a commercial standpoint Norfolk Is vitally interested in t he bridge proposition, and should take my action that will lend to accii-j its construction and eliminate the delay necessarily incident to the use of a ferry on the sound. From a triP?iK)r tation standpoint, also. It is desirable. Nearly all the food fishes -ue:i la Eastern North Carolina waters, und a very large per cent, of the fruits and vegetables raised In that territory are shipped over the lines of the Norfolk & Southern. These are perishable commodities, and form a traffic de manding quick transports on. Most of this traif.c comes by way xof Nor folk, and from this point has its out let by rail and water. This present ferry !s about nine miles across, and while the passenger trains are .ran.s ferrel with little delay, freight trains must bo broken up, and .informed at each end, resulting in considerable de lay. This delay is not infrequently several hours, even in good weather, and when connections are missed at Norfolk may become a day's delay ly J me nine ea&iem elites aro reT:aeu, and cause the loss of a market. Another feature worthy of consider ation is the Interruption at this point of telegraphic and telephonic connec tions. Under' these conditions the tarfflc in perishable products is neces sarily precarious, and the devejo ment of the country slow, which is equivalent to saying that the elimina tion of the ferry at Edenton would in sure quick transportation both of pas sengers and freight, and promote the development of the territory served by the Norfolk tc Southern. This tCJT rltorv comprises notit 1 1 nquare miles, with a population of 461,749. With the construction of the links now building from Raleigh to Wash ington. N. C. thU territory will. ')f course, be greatly extended. That the economical and practiol limitation of the ferry has been abou: reached, under present conditions, is shown by the fact that during the past twelve months there were ferried at Edenton 39,000 passengers, CG.",S42. 000 pounds of freight and 18,573 freight cars. With the proposed ex pansion of the sysrem to double its present mileage the substitution of i brilge for the ferry becomes an abso lute necessity. Captious opposition should, there fore, not be permitted to defeat the 41. I . 1 . building of the bridge across Albe marie Sound. Investigation shows tha it would interfere very little, if any. with the run of fish, and statistics or the movement of vessels show that the navigation that would be incon cenlenced by it is inconsiderable, a compared with the great interest that would be subserved by a new all-rail route through so splendid a country, connecting great cities. The public re quirement for facilities and service must be recognized and satisfied, if this section is to continue, to grow and develop. The proposed bridge is to be sup plied with a draw that will permit the passage of all the vessels without dan ger or delay. Ledger-Dispatch.
