Inland Water Routes.
NECESSITY FOR CHEAPER TRANSPOR
TATION FACILITIES PROBLEM
OF THE TIMES.
Every Section, and Communi
ty, is Aroused to this Fact--Wonderful
Development of
the Country and Rapidly In
creasing Demand for Prod
ucts of the Farm, Forest,
Factory, and Fishery, Make
the Transportation Question
One of the Most 'Seiious
Problems We Now Have to
Face Construction of In
land Water Way's Hope of
Eastern North Carolina
Correspondence Norfolk Landmark.
By the wonderful development of
the country anl the rapid increasing
demand for the productsof the farm,
forewt, factory and finhery, we are
forced to realize the urgent necessity
; for cheaper transportation facilities.
hvery nectiou, tind community, is
aroused to this fact. In many sec
tions the most promising enterprises
cannot be undertaken until their peo
ple secure more certain and direct
ways of transportation. The trans
portation question has become the
most serious problem of the day and
the wise man fully understands that
we cannot make quicker progress un
less it is solved.
For these reasons Eastern North
Carolina is looking, with strong and
peculiar hope, to the meeting, soon
to be held in Norfolk, in the interest
of free inland water routes.
Very naturally our greatest inter
est is centered on the route from Nor
folk to Albemarle Sound and, conse
quently, tiny movement, in that di
rection should arouse us to enthusi
astic effort, but alas! for more than
fifty years this question has been be
fore us and we have been promised
this free water route by every man we
have sent to Congress since 1858.
But our hopes are not entirely crush
ed and. we intend tocome to the Nor
folk meeting and show our apprecia
tion of this new movement by doing
all we can to promote every sincere
move made in its behalf.
We are not concernd about which
route may be selected or purchased,
and opened as a free canal, but we
are greatly concerned in the quick
opening of this link in the proposed
free inland water way from Massa
chusetts to Florida. We are aware of
the existence of the two canals that
now connect the waters of Carolina
and Virginia and, for years, have
known that a conflict of interests has
resulted in delaying the necessary ap
propriations required to give us this
free route, but we insist that these
obstacles can, and should be, quickly
removed that this movement may be
carried through.
Lvery consideration calculated to
innpire and enthuse a patriot, is pre
sented in the claims favoring this
greatly needed improvement and the
public man who permits selfish, or
sordid, reasons to influence him in re
tarding its consummation, should be
consigned to political oblivion.
We have been told that the Govern
ment has no right to construct a new
canal from Elizabeth river to Albe
marle Sound unless it first purchases
the two existing canals. This claim,
though groundless and absurd, has
been, and could be, used again to fur
ther delay this work and we hope
those who ho'id these views will be
"smoked out into the open," that the
people may learn who are the real en
emies of this project.
To repeat, we do not want any
more delays to interfere witn me
opening of this route and we suggest
it would be both wise and proper for
the representatives of Eastern North
Carolina and Virginia to hold a spe
cial meetiug, when they get to Norfolk
in November, and decide for them
selves what they deem would be best
for their sections and, having decided,
they should request the earnest co
operation of the "Atlanctic Deeper
aterways Association in assing
Congress to grant our prayers. e
make this suggestion because we are
firmlv convinced that if our route is
to be delayed until theentire contem-
Elated inland waterway from Buzzard
lay to the Gulf of Mexico or Florida,
is provided for, our present genera
tions will never see a free canal from
Albemarle Sound to Norfolk. We
cannot forget our recent fifty years
of experience.
It would be impossible to estimate
the wonderful benefits that would ac-

eager are they for this opportunity
to become free and independent, in a
transportation sense, that they
would accept any kind of a free canal.
They would contract not to look the
gift horse in the mouth, though he
was only nine feet deep and forty feet
wide.
We have heard that the Albemarle I
and Chesapeake canal can be pur
chased for $500,000. If this be true,
the opportune moment has arrived.

vest that sum to benefit the entire
Atlantic coast shipping. The Chesa

folk withlts large and growing com
merceand Eastern North Carolina
with its great sounds and their 2.G00
miles ofTributaries as
could expend that sum on the Pam
lico and Beaufort canal "to improve
Beaufort Harbor." Only insanity
could prevent a man from seeing and.
realizing the wisdom of this state-
inent. The great advantages which
the opening of the Carolina and Vir
ginia free waterway would specially
secure to Norfolk induces us to hope
1 !l! Ml . . . r
umi uer citizens wm rise to the occa
sion and do their full duty towards
promoting this transportation neces
sity for nothing they can do would
be too much.
Along this line we would modestly
suggest that to every stranger, who
comes to Norfolk with promises of
aid in behalf of the immediate open
ing of this special link in the Deeper
Inland Waterway, a glad hand should
be extended and he should be given
plenty of food and drink, and when
tired, of talking, a soft bed should be
provided for the weary body, but be
fore he sleeps he should be gently told
that Norfolk was discovered about
1585, and that as thecenturies rolled
away her people gathered much learn
ing and, consequently, while they are
nof quickly convinced by argument
and talk they are easily captured by
visible realities, honest actions and
actual facts. This course would make
the stay of the stranger peculiarly
happy if he should happen to belong
to that representative class that men
of high character and sincere purpose
rejoice to meet and delight to enter
tain. For more thau forty yeara the
writer has labored, when opportuni
ty offered, to secure a free canal from
Norfolk to Albemarle Sound, because
he knew the benefit it would prove to
his section. In these long years of la
bor, watching and waiting, he has
never despaired of seeing the dream
of his young manhood fulfilled and
he is most happy in the thought
that the work he performed, in this
most commendable and worthy
cause, was inspired and guided only
by love of State and homefolk
and that no hope encouraged his
efforts save the ennobling desire to
succeed and thereby merit and retain
the appreciation and reirard of his
fellow citizens of Eastern North Car
olina. And now in his declining years,
when he sees only the setting sun, he
is still buoyed up with the hope that
he may yet, and soon, be permitted
to again face the rising sun and be
hold the glint of its glorious rays
.making beautiful the united waters
of Carolina and Virginia as they flow
through a free canal to bless his
neighbors, and especially the home
people he loves with an intensity and
devotion a patriot only can feel and
comprehend.

Strictly High Class Attractions.
Henderson theatre-goers will have
the opportunity of witnessing some
strictly high class attractions this
season. Manager Poythress has
been fortunate in providing an
amusement bill of fare that few of
the larger cities can excel, as the fol
lowing brilliant summary will show:
JNext Monday night, Oct. 18th,
John Griffith will present "Faust."
Mr. Griffith needs no introduction to
a Henderson audience. He was seen
here in Richard III, when he thor
oughly established himself with local
play-goers. As Mephisto, in Goethe's
immortal creation of "l?aust, Mr.
Griffith is said to be a worthy suc
cessor of Lewis Morrison, who was to
this character what Joseph Jefferson
was to "Kip Van Winkle.
Friday night, Oct. 22nd. we will
have the talented young actor, Ed-
ouard D'Oize, in a sumptuous pro
duction of "The Merchant of Venice.
October 29th, "Lena Rivers."
.November 2nd, "The Servant in
the House."
November 5th, The Cluxton Musi
cal Comedy Company, first of the
Lyceum course of attractions.
November 19th. "The Flower of the
Ranch," a metropolitan cast of 50
people supported by a chorus of 40
pretty girls.
November 22nd. A Knight lor a
Day," with Frank Deshon and Con
nie Mack in the leading roles, will
aarain delight a full house. Both of
these inimitable fun makers estab-
I lished themselves as prime favorites
with Henderson amusement lovers
who saw them last season.
November 29th, "Polly of the Cir
cus.
December 2nd, "The liouse oi a
Thousand Candles" will be the bril
liant setting behind the footlights.
And "there are others" equally
as good but this is enough for the
present; other attractions will be an
nounced later.
To Be Alike Means Bliss.
The husband and wife of similar
tastes and dispositions will find the
most happiness together, says an ex
change. A woman of quiet, gentle
manners could not be happy with a
coarse, vulgar man, nor a man of re
fined, sensitive nature with a rough,
boisterous woman.
HaDDiness is a matter of tempera
ment rather than circumstance. The
gay, laughing, happy-go-lucky girl

A Confederate on the Bench.

Governor Comer, of Alabama, con
tinues to clash with Federal Judrre
Jones in the attempt to put into exe
cution the Btrincent. railroad and
prohibition laws passed by the State
Legislature. The scene is laid at too
grent a distance , and the points of
controversy are too little germain to
ixortn Carolina for space to be given
to explicit statement of the matter at
issue Suffice it to say that Governor
Comer is still fighting against bop
against tne construction oi the law
laid down by the Supreme Court of
the United States, and that Judge
Jones is proceeding with "calmness
ana determination to enforce sucli
construction. There is. of course, the
usual cry of usurpation by the Feder
al judiciary of powers belonging to
tne states, and if the militant cover-
nor has his way, there will be result
ant friction and bad feeling amoug a
large class of the State's population.
uur reason lor touching on this con
troversy, however, is not to enter
upon a discucsion of its merit, but
to produce with approval the thought
ful words of the New York World.
representing Judge Jones:
"ir we look into the careers or the
t wo men we may find an explanation
of their present attitude. The Gov
ernor, named for a Confederate gen
eral, was a boy during the civil war.
The Judge, a soldier in that unhappy
time wounded more than once and
an officer on Gen. Gordon's staff was
the man who bore the Southern flag
of truce at Appomattox. He has been
a Federal Judge since 1901. A true
Democrat, a fine old ex-Confederate,
a wise and fearless magistrate, de
voted to the Union as well as to his
State. Judge Jones recognizes, sup
ports and justly wields in a measure
the authority to which at tho end
of bloody strife he surrendered in
1865.
"When Governor Comer learns, as
others similarly situated have done,
that States, even in pursuit of worthy
objects, cannot override national
law, he will have less trouble with
Judge Jones. In the meantime the
spectacle of one of Lee's veterans
calmly enforcing nationality from the
bench connot fail to carry an impres
sive lesson in republican government
to every part of the nation.
it tases a large soul to accept a
condition. It takes a deep conscience
to concede to practical results of the
inevitable. It takes a true fighter to
recognize defeat only for the purpose
or shaping it into victory. v hat
Judge Jones is doing, the South as a
whole has done. He is conceding Ap
pomattox. He is conceding the re
sults of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments. Why should he not
concede them? Why should he not,
like a brave man, recognize facts that
he cannot help and make the most of
them? There would have been no
"New South" had there been any sulk
ing in the tents by thoe who, but
tling for a cause for which they died
in profusion and suffered even more
than death, found themselves at the
end defeated and impoverished. There
is a higher cause than political prin
ciple; when that cause came to be
subserved the South faced it more de
terminedly and with greater buccps
than it faced the political ciiis that
made it into a live and continuing
issue. The fifteenth amendment has
been all but nullified, because it
touched the homes and the woman
hood and the civilization of a eople.
Passed in rancor, it could never Iw
obeyed in fact. Yet the same Federal
courts that are so much abused for
their adherence to the fourteenth, are
responsible by their policy of liberal
construction of State's rights for the
abrogation of the fifteenth amend
ment. They have observed the dis
tinction and, practically, if not in
terms, allowed it. With the New
York World, it seems to us a fine
thing that tbeera of nationalism, de
creed at Gettysburg and ratified at
Appomattox, should be finding one
of its most sane and judicial ex
pounders in the person of the very
bearer of the flag of truce that rep
resented a still unconquerable civili
zation's acceptance within the limi
tations of Its honor of the judgment
of fate.
Personally, we would have been
pleased to see the decisions of the Su
preme Court of the United States up
hold the spirit of the Eleventh Amend
ment. We are yet sufficiently imouea
with the tradition of the Confederacy
to sigh involuntarily at the spectacle
of the Federal judiciary taking juris
diction of criminal actions pending In
State courts and staying by Injunc
tion State executive action. But we
realize that the letter of the Eleventh
is impossible in the spirit of the Four
teenth Amendment to the Constitu
tion. That section was sustained
which was sanctified with the blood of
both sections. When the point was
open, there was perhaps excuse for
"near-revolution." Now that it is de
cided, the less the talk, the more
cheerful the acquiesce, the better.
Politics have from time to time
given to the South Federal judges
puny, impatient and with the petty
tyranny inseparable from small men
in places of power. But the principle
has remained, while the personnel was
debauched. Now, the personnel is be
ing fitted to the power. In this case
of Judge Jones, the example of a bra ve
Confederate standing for a national
policy is worth yards of oratory and
volumes of homily.

Occasion to be Remembered
El Paso, Texas, Oct. 1G, 1909
The long expected meeting between
the President of the ltepublic of Mex
ico aud the President of the the
United States took place here today.
Amid a salute of artillery aud the
playing of martial bands, with the
clanking of accouterments and a
brilliant flash of gold lace, President
William H. Taft and President Perif
rio Diaz clasped hands in formal ac
knowledgement of the cordial rela
tions existing between the two
governments. While outwardly the
meeting was attended with a display
of soldiery, a flare of trumpets, a
boom of canon, and a pomp and
ceremony suggestive of supreme au
thority, in the actual handclasp of
the two executives and in the ex
change of courteous words there was
simple, but cordial informalities.
The first meeting of the two presi
dents occurred at 11 o'clock here in
El Paso, on American soil, when
President Diaz, accompanied by a
brilliant staff escorted by American
and Mexican soldiers, paid his re
spects to the American Chief Execu
tive. President Diaz was the first to
speak. He assured President Taft of
his warm personal regard and his
high esteem for the man who had ac
complished so much in the Philip
pines, in Cuba and elsewhere, and who
had now the honor to be the Chief
Executive of so great, a nation as
the United States. President Taft
in simple American fashion, declared
that he was glad to meet Diaz. He
was glad to meet the President of
such a great nation, especially glad
to know the present President, who
Had made the nation great.
Both Presidents dwelt upon the
cordiality of the relations existing
between the United States and Mex
ico. President Taft declared that
today's meeting wus not necessary to
make stronger the bonds of friend
ship; it merely typified the strength
of the bonds as they already exist.
No words of international note were
uttered by either. There were smiles
of contentment on their faces aud
the hand clasps were hearty.
President Diaz on his visit to Presi
dent Taft was attired in full dress
uniform. He was accompanied by
members of his cabinet and military
staff. Secretary of War Dickinson
rode bseide him and an aide occu
pied the the forward seat in the
carriage. ith President Taft when
he greeted President Diaz were Secre
tary Dickinson and Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock. Captain Archibald
W. Butt, General Albert Mever, U.
S. A., Assistant Secretary W. W.
Mtahler, C. C. Wagner of the White
House staff and others.
Both in the matter of decorations
and the welcome from the great
crowd that thronged the vicinity
where the meeting of the two rulers
took place, the City of El Paso did
things handsomely. Mayor Sweeney
had proclaimed a genoral holiday
and business everywhere was sus
pended. Lavish decorations bright
ened the streets through which the
presidential procession passed. All
of these thoroughfares were crowded
with spectators, whose cheers were
more than enough in volume and
continuity to impress upon both
presidential visitors that they were
in a city which wished them well.
It is no exaggeration to say that
no ofticiul head of a friendly power
would have received a more cordial
greeting in the United States than
was accorded most spontaneously to
President Diaz. The same can" be
said with equal truth in regard to
the welcome given to the President
of the United State when he stepped
on Mexican soiL
The arrival of President Diaz on
this side was signalled by a salute of
twenty-one guns. Assisting in th?
reception of the Mexican Executive
were Secretaries Dickinson andNngel,
Postmaster General Hitchcock, Gov
ernor Campbell, of Texas, and his
staff aud Slay or Sweeney and the
city officials of El Paso. Tlie mili
tary headed by Brig. Gen. Myer and
staff formed in procession and es
corted President 1 Ha z to the stand in
front of the Chamber of Commerce
build i sir, where the meeting with
President Taft took place. Follow
ing the firt xchange of courtoies
between the two rulers President
Diaz withdrew iu the same manner
in which 1m arrive.!, receiving tle
same salutes fie received wlieii lie
first crossed tlie border.
From ao early hour io the room
ing the streets of El Paso bad been
filled with soldiers in uniform. Regi
ments of infantry, artillery and car
airy had been brought from Forts
Bliss and Sam Houston to form the
brilliant military escort which was
one of the most conspicuous features
of the international demonstration.
All the American troops were under
the command of Brig. Gen. Albert L.

Back
An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application of
Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. It penetrates
without rubbing through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.
Here's the Proof.
