Washington, Nov.26. An appro priation of more than one million dol lars for North Carolina rivers and harbors Is recommended in the an nual report of the board of army en gineers made public this afternoon. Of thii sura nearly, $700,000 is. pro: posed for the improvement and main tenance of the Cape Fear river at and below Wilmington.' Total appropriations askefl for North Carolina streams and harbors amount to $1,073,810. For the Cape Fear river it is proposed to expend $659,000, while the waterway from Norfolk to AUiemarle is listed for n allowance of $274,3 A year ago the army engineers pro posed appropriations of aproximate- ly one and a quarter millions for North Carolina projects and the house committee recommended sub stantially this amount Under . the economy program of Congress the $40,000,000 river and harbor budget was cut down to only $12,000,000 and North Carolina naturally, re ceived only a pittance for waterways. What fate awaits the estimates of the army engineers this session is pro blematical. ( How Ami I. divided.

How long he had been dead she did not know. Mr. Garner had been in a melan choly state for a year or more and friends had suggested that he ought to be sent to some institution for treatment but he had never" gone.
