The Seventh Convention of the Na tional Rivera and Harbora Congress will aswmbla at the' New Wlllard Ho tel, Washington, D. C., on Wednes day, December 7th, and will continue In session throughout that day and Thursday and Friday. 1 At the requeat of President Ranidell and the Board of Director, Director B. J. Hale hat Invited Governor Kltchin to appoint delegate to the Convention, and the Governor has contented to do so. ' In addition, the following letter has been sent to the State press,' and from this ft will be seen that Commercial and Waterway associations are also Invit ed to appoint deleft tea: National Rivers and Harbor Congress, - Office of E. J. Hale, Director, Fayettevllle, N. C, November 14, 1910. Dear Sir: . - I am requeated by President Rans dell and my colleague of the Board of Directors of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress to Invite your attention to the approaching Conven tion of this body, which takes place at Washington, at the New Wlllard Hotel, on December 7th, 8th and 9 th, and to ask that you attend the Con vention. I will be obliged, also, if you will publish this letter, with such editorial comments aa may be con venient, and extend the invitation to the commercial organizations In your city and territory. Delegates appoint ed by .the latter will receive due recog nition upon presentation of their cre dentials to the Secretary, Captain J. F. Ellison, whose headquarters will be at the New Wlllard after tomorrow. Aa no doubt you are aware, the Na tion Rivera and Harbors Congress Is now recognized as the most important unofficial body In the United States "second in importance," as an author ity saya, "only to the Congress of the United States." It had its origin in the dealre of commercial and indus trial men to separate the business of waterway and harbor Improvement from politics. Under control of the latter, efforts in this great field of en deavor , fell into disrepute, and the stigma of the "pork barrel" was affix ed to them. So great was the effect of this condition upon the public mind that while the people's representa tives voted hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the purposes of war, they--dared not make approprla- i tlons, beyond the needs of mainte nance, for the waterways of commerce, the agent of peace. As a result of the efforts of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, public sentiment has changed; and the CongresB of the United States, at Its recent session, not only -passed a liberal river and harbor bill, but declared In favor of an annual appropriation of fifty mil lions of dollars for this purpose. It Is understood that the President, the Chief of Engineers, and the Chair man of the Rivers and Harbora Com mittee of the House of Representa tives, all favor the framing and pass ing of an ample rivers and harbors bill at the approaching session of Con gress, so that a precedent for annual appropriations will be established by the Sixty-first Congress. The coming convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress is relied upon to give such renewed expression of the popular will in this respect that the official mentioned will be encouraged in tb stand they have taken. .It a hardly necessary to call atten tion t North Carolina's great Interest in this matter. As you are aware, the long contest for deepening the Cape Fear river up to Faetteville a great work In which the entire State is In terested was ended in May last by an act of Congress covering the whole project That had the right of way, having been repeatedly endorsed by the Legislature of our State. The deepening of th Cape Fear from Wll minacton to the Sea comes next, as having now the right of way by com-j mon consent It la expected max wo action of the coming convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress will have an Important bearing upon that and our other North Carolina project.

Respectfully, E. J. HALE, President WHEN BARKI8 ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS WILLIN'. Chicago Record-Herald. Champ Clark of Missouri, who prob ably will be elected speaker of the house in the organization of the Sixty second congress, Informally announced bis candidacy for that position Feb ruary 27, 1908. A whole congress will have inter vened between that announcement and the realization of the prospective speaker's ambition. There was under consideration on the floor of the house a resolution relative to the re-asslgn-ment of office room In connection with the opening of the new several-mll-llon-dollar house office building, and it was proposed successfully to re move the ways and means committee from the very desirable and commo dious .quarters It had occupied for years in the house wing of the capltol In order to give the speaker an en larged and imposing suite. Champ Clark was defending the committee against the territorial en croachment of czardom, and in one of the drollest of colloquial speeches made in congress in recent years he said: "Mr. Speaker, I do not have any idea that the republic will cease to ex ist, no matter how this question Is de termined. Still, it is a matter of a good dal of interest to the members of the ways and means committee and It is a matter of some importance to the other members of the house. My friend from Illinois (Mr. Mann) offers me a very tamptlng bait that after the 4th of next March In my capacity as speaker, I will occupy these rooms now occupied by the ways and means committee. (Applause and laughter.) "I used to have a constituent named Nat C. Dryden, a very brilliant man, who was very fond of giving out this dictum, 'A bird in the hand Is the noblest work of God.' (laughter.) I am the ranking democratic member on the committee of ways and means, and no matter how tne cai jumps m the next election I suppose, as a mat ter of ordinary courtesy, I would re tain that place if the house were re publican; if democratic, why, 'Barkis is willin' ' in the matter of the speak ership. . (Applause.) "The situation about the speaker ship is this: There are 391 members in this house. One of them is speaker, and not a single one of the other 390 would decline it it offered to him on a silver platter. Now, the speaker has a small room. In the present exi gency in which the presiding officer of this house finds himself he ought to have two. (Laugnter ana appmuue.; There are three sorts of people who wait on iu speaker one set on busi ness, another set on business and an otheret Just to see the speaker and shake his hand. That room is not as commodious as It ougm 10 oe iur ui speaker. I freely admit inai. oeruim ly he ought to have two perhaps th"j"ewill tell you how I feel about that in connection with the speakership. The first time that my wife and I ever attended a White Houae dinner she was assigned to tne Peruvian miui.i to take her out to dinner. She could not talk any Peruvian (laughter) and he could not talk much English, and though she Is a fine talker, the con versation lagged somewhat. "But sitting on ner ngni r. f State John Sherman.

(Laughter.) IMPORTANCE OF THE SALE, THIS WEEK, OF THE "BLEWITT'S FALLS" PROPERTY. A telegram from Wadesboro to the Charlotte Observer, of Saturday' date, says: Interest center here in the propos ed sale the coming week of the Blew ltt Falls property including the en tire holdings of the Rockingham Pow er Company located at Blewltt Falls on the Pee Dee river, U miles from Wadesboro. This sale is to take place in New York and the upset price has been fixed at $750,000. This plant is to produce 3,000 horsepower and the work of construc struction was begun several years ago and pushed until tne panic of 1908, when the company went Into the hands of receivers after expending 12,000,000 and partially completing the dam. It proposes to be one of the best hydro-electric plant of this sec tion and contracts were made several years ago for the larger part of the proposed horsepower. Lines were to be run in all direction touching Wadesboro, Albemarle, Laurinburg, Rockingham and other point and thus offer Industrial plants cheap power. The panic and Internal distentions stopped the work and finally the plant was sold and bought In by the bond holders. Later another sale was or dered but the upset price was placed at 11,000,000 and no bidders appeared. In the meantime the Southern Power Company investigated the plant and its opportunities and it is generally un derstood that they will bid on the property at the sale next week. May Build Railway. There is a rumor and while It can not be traced to the Southern Power Company, it continues to be heard that it Is the purpose of the Southern Power Company, it it shall purchase the plant, to build an electric line from Charlotte through Wadesboro to Wilmington. Branch lines to run up to Albemarle and Salisbury and there connect with the Charlotte-Durham proposed electric line. In this connec tion it Is reported here that the South ern Power Company will also pur chase the Whitney Hydro-electric plant when that property is sold un der order of the court November 30. The Whitney plant is also partially constructed and the Whitney Com pany, which was composed largely of Philadelphia and Pittsburg capitalists, spent over $5,000,000 in the construc tion of the plant and it has a poten tial production of 140,000 horsepower. The Southern Power Company would perhaps use this power to operate that part of the traction system from Char lotte to Durham. The Blewltt Falls plant is more than half completed. Something like $2, 000,000 has been spent on the work and it is estimated that $1,000,000 will be required to put the plant in opera tion, when it it will produce about 36, 000 horsepower of electricity. The rumor regarding a trolley line from this city to the coast opens up a large field for the most Interesting sort of speculation. In the first place there is no doubt In the mind of anyone but that the Southern Power Company in terests are amply able to put into ef fect any plans they may formulate. There are practically no limitations to the amount of capital that Is avail able and with the brains, business acu men and genius for organization and administration that is possessed by the officers of the company It is easy to Imagine tremendous things being done by the Southern Power Company and Its allied interests. That the piedmont section of both Carolinas will be networked with an lnterurban trolley system that will do a great freight business as well as handling the passenger traffic is al most certain. With all the cities of this section connected with freight carrying lines the desirability of an outlet to the coast is readily apparent. And with an outlet to the coast, with the advantage of the low water rates from long distance points, the great possibilities and the great importance of the lnterurban system to this sec tion Is more clearly seen. The import ance especially to all manufacturers and shippers is evident. May Have Big lnterurban System, In cluding Fayettevllle. If the Southern Power Company does DurchaBe the Blewltt Falls prop erty for the purpose of using the pow er 4n the operation 01 a irouy nuo from Charlotte to Wilmington tnere is every probability of its putting such a line in operation. Branches will nmhuhlv be built to connect with Ben- nnttsvllle and Florence and other Smith Carolina towns and with fay ettevllle and probably with Raleigh, Wilson, Goldsboro and other North Carolina towns, forming a system In the piedmont section of the two states that will be one or tne greatest imei iirhn Rvgtems in the world. The Southern Power Company has spent more than $10,000,000 in hydro electric developments In this section, including a transmission system that omhracM more than 1.100 miles of transmission lines for tne oistnou Hon of 105.000 horsepower of elec tricity that is available at present and a like amount that may be de veloped from waterpower sites as yet untouched. Ten million dollar is a large sum of money and yet all signs inriiMta that the stream of capital hlnr turned toward this section oy h mn who are behind the Southern Power Company ha Just begun. The recently announced lnterurban sys tem for the piedmont section will cost more than $6,000,000 and if a line to Wilmington with branch line is put in operation the total wm prooaDiy pa the $10,0OO,uuu mars. Company Anticipated With a Welcome Th neonle of this section or tne State will welcome the coming of the .. - mwiJk It 'la Boutnern rower juuiimuj mu iv hoped that the rumors of the purchase of the Blewltt Falls plant will be veri fied the coming week. The great sup ply of cheap and convenient electri city for power from the hydro-electric plant of the oompany will assure the Industrial supremacy of this section. The lnterurban trolley system will mean a great advance In the commer cial life of the section and the fer tilizer plant will mean much to the agricultural Interests of the section. Indirectly almost every Industry, trade and profession will he influenced. ' THE TROUBLE IN MExicO. ' Our dispatche yesterday evening gave a somewhat surprising account of ".'.thi" spread ot . revolutionary movemsnti In Mexico, Light upon th situation, lor ft"! of our ruder who did not see the morning dispatche, will be found in the following associat ed press telegram of Monday night' date from Laredo, Texas: W The situation in Mexico appear to be serious tonight For th first time In the 15 year of operation, the leased wire of the Associated Press from La redo to Monterey and Mexico City wa commandeered by the ' Mexican .gov ernment on the plea of military need and the Federal circuit manager -In Neuvo Laredo wa ordered to cut off the Laredo office of the Associated Press to prevent Information being gleaned from messages moving over the wire. These Instruction emanat ed from the headquarter of the Fed eral telegraph in Mexico City, where it was explained that the government would require the full capacity of all Its telegraph facilities throughout the night ; . "' Coming as It does after what was officially reported to have been a per fectly tranquil Sunday throughout the greater part Of the republic, broken only by a few almost insignificant dis order In the (mailer place, this lo tion on the part of the govenrmmt would appear to lend substance to.lse rumors of bloody riot at Zacatecas, Gomez Palacios and Torrean, the au thenticity of which uad been in doubt. These three important cities are situated in a region which had been disaffected for year. Gomez Pala cios and Torrean are cities of about 15,000 and 25,000 inhabitants, respect lvely and are located 4 miles apart; In the Laguna district of the State of Coahulla. This territory was. the scene of the insurrection in 1908 which was quick ly quelled by the Federal govern ment and which is supposed to have eventuated In the sending of General Bernardo Reyes, who had been pro claimed 'eader by the revolutionists, to Europe. Almost. at once the same element that had recognized Reyes as thslr standard-bearer turned to Francisco I. - Madero and nominated him for President of the republic In opposi tion to the incumbent, Porifiro Diaz, in the elections held last spring. Madero and his supporters claim ed that they were not accorded fair treatment in the campaign and Madero was imprisoned on the charge of In sulting the government by his state ment that he could not get justice in the courts. He was held in prison I'i til some weeks after the election day, when the exlBtlng government was overwhelmingly returned to power, af ter which he was released on bail and made his way to San Antonio, Texas, from which point he is alleged to have been secretly preparing his partisans for the widespread revolt which was planned to commence last Sunday, No vember 20. Believed to be in Mexico. On November 18, Madero slipueJ out of San Antonio, it was then un derstood for his family estate in Coa hulla to take personal command of the anti-government forces in the field. No further word has been ob tainable regarding his movements and it 1b believed he is In. Mexico toni!it Every precaution is being taken by the American authorities to prevent violation of neutrality laws on Unit ed States soli. Goernor Campbell is reported to have ordered the entire force of Texas Rangers to the Rio Grande, and the commanding officer ot Fort Mcintosh has placed a dou ble guard over the gun racks in ach barracks of the four companies of In fantry stationed here, as a precaution against theft or seizure by Mexican revolutionists. A LETTER BOX FOR EVERY HOME. Atlanta Journal. The United States postoffice depart ment begins in Atlanta today an effort to Induce every householder in the city to put an individual letter box at his door. Compliance with this request must of course be voluntary, but it is like y that the response will be favorable and well-nigh unanimous when the value of the plan is understood. Both the postal service and the individual home will be greatly benefitted by the installation of private letter boxes. Postmaster ulcKee declares tnat these letter boxes at every door would enable the carriers to make prompter and in every respect better deliveries. Under existing conditions, the post man must frequently wait several min utes after he has rung the door bell. In the course of a week the minutes thus lost amount to hours and in the course of a year, to days. If, however, there were Individual letter boxes, the mall could be deposited and the car rier could 'proceed without delay to the remainder of his territory. To the household as well as to the department this plan would prove a convenience. It is often discomforting to go to the door when the carrier calls. But the mail must either be Dersonally received or not left. The letter box would do away with ail this. The mail could be collected at the pleasure and convenience of each fam ily. Such letter boxes are a mark of true metropolltanism. Atlanta has reached that stage in her growth where she requires them. Their cost will be nominal. It Is to be hoped that they will soon be adopted through out the city. CONFLICTING OPINIONS ABOUT THE PANAMA CANAL. Norfolk Virglnlan-Pllot Secretary Meyer has expressed his belief that the next war of the United States, should there be another con flict, will centre about the mouth of the Panama Canal. Admiral Robley D. Evans has expressed his positive conviction that thev canal will be of no commercial or pecuniary value to the country which builds it. Is it pos sible that we have ravished the terri tory of a friendly neighbor and spent hundreds of millions of dollars only to project far beyond our natural lines of defense a convenient point of -naval attack by foreign foes? If Meyer is rjght, there is nothing for this gov ernment to do but to make Glbraltars of Atlantic and Paciflo termini of the waterway. If Evans is also right, why not at once declare the canal to be a free conduit for international com merce and ao abrogate the necessity for fortifying by giving all tie powers a common Interest in It? I DELEGATES TO RIVERS AND HAR BORS CONGRE8S. The names of Messrs. Dr. H. W. Lilly, H. IL Home, F. R. Rose. W. L. Holt, Capt E. R. MaoKtthan, Col W, 9, Cook Wl A, U MqCmiM hart bttn so far reported as those desiring to go from fayettevllle to the National River and Harbors Congress conven tion at Washington. Other desiring to go are requested to send their names at once to MaJ. B. J. Hals, Di rector, who will have ticket issued to them. Invitation have already been sent to all those who have subscribed to the funds of the Congress hereto for ' la this connection, the following from our special correspondent at Washington will be interesting: The Seventh Convention of the Na tional River and Harbor Congress which will be held in this city Decem ber 7, 8 and 9 nut-it is expected will bring to the .National capital the larg est gathering of waterway enthusiasts ever assembled in this country. Pres ident Taft, who win deliver the open ing address to the delegates said in the course of a speech in Chicago that transportation was the question of the hour and that the only solution of the problem was recourse to the water ways of the United States. Probably next In Importance to the address of the President of the Unit ed States will be the speech of Jud son Harmon of Ohio, who has for years been a close student of the question of improved waterways and at the very meeting held in Cincinnati seven years ago when it was determined to reorganize the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, Governor Harmon completely refuted the Idea in his ad dress to the delegates at that time that the different states through which interstate waterways run should be called upon for a pro rata sum for their improvement, insisting that the Jurisdiction belongs entirely to the Federal government whose duty it is to improve such streams for the bene fit of all the states through which they flow. In addition to these distinguished citizens others quite as well known in their several vocations will deliver ad dresses during the days of the conven tion Including the Hon. Clifton Sefton, chairman of Conservation of the Ca nadlan government; the Mexican Am bassador; General W. H. Bixby, Chief of Engineers; Governor Horaco White of New York; Rep. Champ C!ark of Mis souri; Col. William L Sibert, member of the Panama Canal Commission, who will speak on "The Panama Canal aB a Connecting Link Between Our Coasts"; Walter S. Dickey, of Kansas City, the chief promoter of the Mis souri River Steamboat Line; F. W. Crandall, National Chairman Railroad Committee Travelers Protective As sociation of America; Robert J. Mac- Farland of Brooklyn, who is one of the leading spirits in the New York Waterways association and Mrs. Hoyle Tomkles, of Louisiana, president of the Woman's National Rivers and Har bors Congress. The aoDearance of the Chief or Ln- eineers upon the platform, of the Na tional Rivers and Harbors Congress marks a precedent as none of the pre ceding Chiefs of Engineers have aver addressed this great body of waterway advocates. Their particular objection to thus appearing was that as they were Intimately associated with the recommendations for the improvement of the rivers, harbors and canals of the country and their references to the same might be regarded as official in character, therefore greater import ance might attach to their utterances than would otherwise be the case. General Bixbv, however, who probably has a knowledge of the waterways of continental United States as wide as that of any officer of the Corps has accepted tne invitation of President Joseph E. Ransdell of the Congress to address the Convention after consul tation with the Secretary of War. Four thousand delegates attended the convention held in this city last vear and according to Secretary J. F. Ellison, of Cincinnati, who opened his headquarters today at the New Wll lard, this number will be greatly aug mented at the forthcoming convention, b's correspondence indicating increas- e1 Interest in the propaganda of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress which stands for a "Waterway Policy and not for a Waterway Project." ON THE COMMITTEES. Charlotte Chronicle. Of the 226 Democrats recently elected to the House of Congress, 127 are from Southern States and there is an intimation that through their in fluence, the next House may decide to name its own committees through a committee on committees instead of leaving It to the Speaker; but evefi shou'.d that be, those Democrats now In ranking positions on the old com mittees, it is safe to assume, will be promoted as heretofore. It is so given out by the Washington bureau of The New York Herald, and that bureau says: Based on this calculation, the men who stand the best chance for Important committee appointments in the next Congress are: Agriculture John Lamb, of Vir ginia; Asbury F. Leer, of South Car olina. Appropriations Albert F. Burleson, of Texas. Accounts Charles L. Bartiett, or Georgia. Alcoholic Liquor Traffic KzeKiei a. Candler, Jr., of Mississippi.

It may be cjse or it may be wild, but we are incunea to oeueve tnat Nona Carolina will make a better showing in the committee appointments than is indicated by The Herald Bureau. Where the Third District Demeeracy Fell Down. Henderson Gold Leaf. ' 'Speaking of the retirement of Con gressman Thomas, tne Washington correspondent of The Raleigh News and Observer say: "Of the North Carolina delegation Congressman Thomas had th highest rank in the way of committee assignment by rea son of bis length ot service, but he drops ont of the next Congress. Mr. Thomas waa the ranking Democrat on the public buildings committee, and since his defeat for renomlnation, Sbep- pard, of Texae, goes to the head of the list" And to this. The Asheville Gazette-News adds: "The failure of Mr. Thomas to secure a renomlnation re flected very seriously upon the intelli gence and patriotism of the Democrats ot his district. Mr. Thomas was a good and faithful public servant, and the whole State will now realize what a fine thing it would be to have a North Carolinian at the head of the great public buildings committee." The Democrats of his district perpe trated a wrong on the whole State in retiring Mr. Thomas." Charlotte Chronicle. If anything more were wanted to substantiate the correctness of ths Chronicle's opinion, reference is had to the recent campaign Just closed In Mr. Thomas' district. But Thomas had had it long enough they said and they proceeded to stand him aside, able man and efficient representative though he was. The people of the dis trict will realize their mistake now it is too late. CONGRESSMAN GODWIN HA8 REA SON TO BE PROUD. Henderson Gold Leaf. Congressman Godwin down In the Wilmington district has as much cause to be proud as any man who was elected. He was bitterly fought in his own party to begin with to keep him from getting the nomination, because he bad served two terms and there is a sort of un written law in that district against a man staying in Congress longer than two termB, and then there was a row in the convention and a second primary was held, all of which did not strengthen bis cause any. But he won out in great shape carrying the district by more than 6,000 ma jority. CHINA IN THE THROES OF A REFORMATION. Baltimore Sun. Those American missionaries who were attacked the other day at Lein chou, in the Chinese province of Kwangsi, had been given plenty of warning of the uprising which came so near proving fatal to them, and might have sought safety in Hong kong, had they been more prudent, two or three months ago. Kwang si Is in the ceptre of the southernmost tier of Chinese provinces, as far as possible from Peking and its in fluences, and has been for many years the headquarters of anti-Manchu agi tation. Many of its people are pirates, smugglers, fugitives from the ports of the Pacific coast, mongrels from the island; its very magistrates are often dubious characters. Such a community is naturally op posed to governmental reforms, es pecially when those reforms are pro posed by natural foes and all China has been passing, of late, through a veritable tornado of reform. Legisla tures have been set up in all of the provinces, a Senate has been estab lished at Peking, writs have been is sued for the election of a national House of Representatives, war has been declared upon the opium traffic, a census has been ordered and efforts have been made to put the adminis tration of Justice upon an honest basis. The backward and lawless Chinese of the South are bitterly opposed to all of these things. They see in each new reform a fresh invasion of their an cient rights, and every such Invasion inflames them against the ruling Aian- chus and against the foreigners who settle in the land under Mancnu pro tection and give their approval to Manchu ideas. According to the cables, last week's outbreak at Lelnchou was caused by an edict ordering that all of the houses In the town be numbered. "The na tives believed that this was but an other device for levying taxes upon them." Out of the same abysmal ig norance they evolved the notion that the prohibition of bribe-taking by judges, proclaimed last spring, was a device for robbing them of justice. It will take a long while to illuminate such darkness. More than an impe rial edict is necessary to transform a horde of barbarians into groups of self-governing and civilised people. -LISTEN I am coin to give one complete life scholarship in Bookkeeping or Short band and Typewriting with 11 books and stationery furnished, for the sum of 20, to one gentleman and lady in your town, provided they enroll before Jan. 1.
