Mr. Howad F. Jones, Editor, !
The Record,
Warrenton, North Carolina.
My dear Mr. Jones: Will you please
express through the columns of your
"aluable paper my sincere appreciation
for the courtesies extended to me on
my recent visit to Warmton.
I have the deepest feeling for War
renton,, its people and its future, and
shall always be consistent in my desire
to see the town constantly improve.
It is a very natural thing for the
people of Warrenton, or any other
town, to unconsciously slip into a
feeling of satisfaction as regards
history has shown many, many times
that satisfaction is the beginning of
the end of endeavor. This is true of
the individual as well as of the com
munity and it was with some feeling
of uneasiness that I detected this dis
position of the people of Warrenton.
As one, ho dearly loves his state,
and particulariy the town of his birth,
I can be pardoned for making this
criticism, because it is sincere.
The people of Warrenton have
much to live for, if they will only ap
preciate that fact. It is unfortunate
that our forefathers prevented the
railroad from going through War
renton. It is an instance of that they
were satisfied with what they had
with the result that Warrenton has
suffered . ever since.
We are entering a new era of trans
portatioh, the best from evey point of
view ever discovered, it is the nav
igation of the air, and if the people
of Warrenton will arise to the situa
tion, appreciate the great value of aer
ial transportation and lend their as
sistance to Warrenton in this direc
tion, our town will immerge into the
full light of industrial progress and
become a place teeming with' activ
ity, social prominence and consider
able financial importance.

Colombia, which has been pendins

He recounted the involved story ol
the diplomatic and commercial deal
ings of 1903 that finally resulted ia
the canal's construction and charged
that President Theodore Roosevelt
"acquired the right of way for tho
canal from a band of. filibusters by
bartering for It the honor of the na

the shameful and sordid story is that
it finds no precedent, in our history,"
he said in stating his conclusion. I
trust that we may soon acknowledge
the wrong and make some reparation
lest It be invoked sometime to shelter
or justify assault upon the integrity
of some week and helpless natioa.
Carries Records To Raleigh
Mr. W. Brodie Jones after severa
davs with friends and relatives in
Warrenton has returned to Columbia
College, to resume his work in the
School of Journalism.
In this connection it is well enough
to acquaint his soldier friends with
the fact that he has carried to tnt
Hall of History, Raleigh, all additional
records and hotographs which were
sent in after he left for Columbia last
September.
He is much interested in having a
complete and unbiased and truthful
record of Warren County's work in
