It was only the ".ount-of days, not so many, ot them Vy the human count that remained 'or "Brother Manlx," as he was al ways to the writer. Twelve yeara of 'rtendshlp, a friendship that was ever :ordial, sincere and courageous, has been given to one who learned to more than respect, he who now lies dead. For" years Mr. Manlx had written ar ticles for The Journal, He was nat urally gifted as writer, and no man tould have won higher honors had his work been given to Journalistic work. In all bis work he was thor ough, conscientious, faithful. Quiet in manner, yet he won the respect and regards ot every one who met htm. It. was to. know. John S Manlx per ionally and Intimately, that his true worth was seen and his companion ship and friendship could be best ap preciated.; Well read and fully alive, on all current events, his ldess were ever clear and forcible as he talked, and his manner charming to the lis tener. As during his work days, so In bis last days at homo, he was cheer ful, accepting what he knew was to be his end without a complaint per fctly satisfied that all would be well In the eud. lie lies not dead, but In perfect rent and peace.

Thousands of bills pour in on every ilde at each session of congress and imong them are a few measures that 00k well into the future. Congress man John. . Smaw, of North Caro lina, has not only given attention to the local interests of his donstltu;- tents and.to general legislation, but his greatest public, service has con sisted in dlrertlng publio attention to the 1 Improvement of the" waterways if the country.' Beginning in ; 1899, when be flrsj entered - Congress, ., he began to concentrate much of his time upon this subject ' He ' made occa ilonal talks in the House of Represen- 'ativesr he appeared before commit? ees; he. visited the seaboard cities etween Baltimore and Jacksonville; he furnished material to the press and contributed to the magazines. 5 " ? '; ' He contended that no substantial progress could be made In , the im provement of our waterways which lid not embrace the entire country! ind contemplate the waterways of all sections. Naturally, most ot, his at tention as directed to the construc ts ' and Improvement - ot the chutn yf waterways from Boston to Florida. But there is one particular link In that chain which he '. considered of paramount importance. That was the (Ink extending from Chesapeake Bay on the north, and thence southwardly through the sounds and rivers of eas tern North Carolina, and entering the ocean again at Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina. This protected route will void the dangers of Cape Hatteras ind Cape Lookout probably the most langerous points on olis Atlantic coast ind will also remove the present bar riers which restrict the water traffic it Eastern North Carolina. "-Those per ions who have made a coastwise trip will never, forget rounding Cape. Hat teras, and will welcome a route avoid ing Diamond Shoals and Cape Look-' jut - The most dangerous point along the coast Is Cape Hatteras and it is retarding the coastwise traffic from Vorth to South..' The removal of this langer would give a great lnpetua to coastwise trade, and accelerate this Mass of traffic, for a Urge volume of bulky merchandise would then seek this route. Navigation South of Beau fort Inlet is comparatively safe.' i This project known as the Norfolk- Beaufort Inlet waterway,' has received the enthusiastic endorsement of a large number ot commercial organisa tions between Baltimore and Jaskaon- vllle. A special board of United States army engineers 'estimated that the traffic which could be favorably affected each year by this waterway amounted to one million and one bun dred thousand tone, and that the an- iiual savings from "its construction would amount to at least $600,000. It Is proper to say that the commer cial organizations referred to estimat ed that the amount of traffic and the nnnual savings would be very much larger. . ' . . ' - The first link in the chain ot water' ways along the Atlantic seaboard la the proposed caha! across Cape Cod. The second Is a canal across the State bf New Jersey, connecting Rarltan bay and Delaware river. The third Is canal connecting Delaware river with Chesapeake bay, and a recent com mission recommended the purchase and enlargement of the present ca nal by the United Statea. The next link Is the Norfolk-Beaufort Inlet wa terway. The next Is the entenslon from Beaufort Inlet to Wlnyah bay on the coast of South Carolina. From this latter Hilnt there Is a natura route to Jacksonville, Fla., which only regulres d enlng. The ultimate pur pone H to complete the link through Florida to Key West. It. k. t-'i i i ()! Co!"

The question of rates and the treat ment of railwaya Is one that has two sides. The shippers are certainly en titled to reasonable. rates: but loss it an . Injustice to the carriers.

' The- proposal to compel every cor poration - to wit' itB commodities at the same price the country over, allow- ng for transportation, Is utterly im practicable . . . as absurd and so- claliststic a plank as was ever In serted. In a democratic political plat form.- Mr. Roosevelt ; would compel rhe trusts to conduct their business In a lawful manner and secure the benefits , of their operation and the maintenance of the prosperity of the country of which they are an impor tant part; while Mr. Bryan would extirpate and destroy the entire busi ness in order to stamp out the evils which they have practiced. Combi nation ot capital In. large plants to manufacture goods, with the greatest economy Is1 necessary . . , . When, however, such combinations are-not based on an economic principle, but are made merely for the purpose of controlling the market, to maintain or raise prices, restrict output and drive out competitors, the public derives Po benefit and we have a monopoly. The financial stringency, panic and, Industrial depression was . brought about not only by the enormous ex pansion of business plants and busi ness Investment which could not be readily, converted, but - also by the waste of capital in extravagance of living,' In wart .and other catastrophes.- - ' On the subject ot the rights of labor, Mr. Taft Is prolix.- He commends the formation of unions as advantageous to members thereof and to the, coun try contending,- however, that thoee not organized are entitled 'to equaV rights. The right to strike and to prevent . .others by persuasion from taking places left vacant la recogni zed, but the use of the boycott it declared Illegal, Regarding the issu ance of injunctions la disputes be tween capital and labor Mr, Taft aaye: I have suggested the remedy of re turning in such cases to the original practice . . . which did not permit the issuing of an Injunctjon without notice. , In regard to the currency Mr. Taft commends the utterance of the Repub lican platform, which favors a more elastic and adaptable system, but does not go Into de tails, and also recommends a poetul savings bank system. Tbe suggestion of the Democratic platforra to tax nutlonal banks and Such 8tat banks as may come In to raise a fund to pay depositors ot failed banks Is denominated "a proposition to tax the ImiieHt "slid prudent banker to make up fur the dluhonesty and Impudence of others." t On "The PJthts and 1'rorriwi ef the Kikio" Mr. Taft bhjs: The Re publican plntform, adopted at CAIcajto, mi.Ih it!)' di'mimd Justice for all men 'without neird to rac? or color, and I J i t i exp'li t'ly declares f . r the en- f' rc. im ill, nnd l'.!iont re rva' ' "i In 1. - r !! f ' of V.f I'.'tt 1 "i. c:::lc : ra stbucic . jit traui Twa Celored Chlldrea PUylng ea RaH- . ,. road Track Receive Fatal v.

The revenue and post-office officials are very anxious to have an eleva tor and also to secure .an enlargement of both departments. Post-office in spectors are here, sometimes in num bers, and these have to use the post master's private room for their work. Then too, the Judge needs more room for hearings at eh am bera and the poet offree registry and money order de partment needs larger quarters. Pos sibly there may be a new wing of the building and if this is provided the elevator will be put in where the Judge's room now is.
