Thanksgiving Day -Orphans' Day.
Tbe work of the orphanage of North
Carolina appeals most strongly to re
son and to sympathyThese Institution
are worthy of the heartiest support of
oMt peip'e and they have a large place
in their interest and arifta anl efforti.
At the Thanksgiving season minds
and heart turn especially toward . our
orphanages and marly are tin practical
expressions of gratitetde 'made ti thia
eaute by people rKnly tlekled,
These love-prompied gifts to carry
on this blessd work with ihee HtOe
ones surely must be acceptable to G d,
the Father of the fatherles.'
It seem that, here in North Caro
line, Thanksgiving Day has ben spe
eialiy set aput aa "Orphans Dy" and
we rejoice that this Is true. The con
tribution mde at this season help very
much indeed in toe opport of our var
iotis orphanages." ,
We trust tbst tven larger offeringi
will be made at this Thanksgiving sea
son than ever before to the end tht
. these institutions may be the better
able to perform tbtlr aervicoa. They
need funds for 'maintenance, for Ira

and this place; The day was a glorious, history of the eourt.vS V
brilliant one in point of weather, with!
keen northerly wind that gave spice I
to the air. There was no prepared I years of aire, and John Marshall, ap
celebration, a number of motor boats I pointed in 1801, was 46. r ' .
with spectators went frera Horehead I
City and this place, to witness tbe last I
scoops of earth made , to clear the pas-1
sage and permit the fresh water to join I
the salt, for the Adams creek end Isone I
and one half feet higher than the Beau-1
fort end. Capt Earl I, Brown and As-1
sistant Engineer Harry Patterson were 1
present to see the finish, for the gov-
eminent, but they were for business
reasons. -'Vr? ' 'i Ji-
The bill providing for this work was 1
passed in Congress in the spring of I
1907, the appropriation being $550,000.
The canal to be dug to be ten feet depth!
at low water,, which assures twelve I
feet practioally all the time for naviga-1
tion. Clearing for the right of way be-
gan in October 1908, and November 1
1903, found the dredge Vim at work un-1
der the contract awarded the Maryland I
Dredging and Contracting Company.
In February 1909, .idredge number 9
started, dredge number 10 taking nine's
place In April 1910, ; '
The total length of the canal-cutting
is 95.527 feet. Of this 23. 177 feet in
Adams creek, which is on the north end
of the canal, is 250 feet wide at the
bottom, the side elopes being 301 feet
Further northward there is 5,258 feet
125 feet wide with the same side slope,
and 34,018 feet, 90 feet wide with 21 on
one side slope. This brings the cut on
Core creek at the southern end, where
the next 12,512 feet is 225 feet wide,
With side slope of 301, the remaining
20,560 feet being 250 feet wi3e with the
ssme side slope. Of the total length
of the canal 18,01? feet waa , through
solid earth, at an average elevation of
8 feet above mean low water;' the re
mainder being in the old channels of
Adams creek. Core creek jnd Newport
river, which were widened and deepen-
edto conform to the adapted prism.
Some of the work through the solid
earth turned out to be extremely diffi
cult, a sunken forest covering much of
the area, on top of this being a forest
of great trees, which had to beeut
away and drajrgid aside by powerful
machinery. The remains of long extinct
snin)al including mammoths knd mat-
todons, were found.
While the original appropriation was
$550,000, there has been effected a sav
ing of (60,000, or $490,000 spent for tbe
route. , Since starting, there have been
two shifts of men each 24 hours, the
only cessation of work being between
midnight Saturday, and midnight Sun
day. This continuous work has been
found the beat plan to pursue, saving
in eost and gaining greatly in the pro
gress of the work. - At present there
will be about 6 (net depth, low water,
but after January first, thj full depth,
10 feet low 'water will be found ths
whole length of the dredged eanal and
navigation will be fully open. From the
mputh of Adams creek, on Neuse river
to Norfolk-Southern pier, Morehead
City, the distance is 18 miles and to
Beaufort Inlet 20 miles. The opening
of thia route will have most important
effect on trade Interests in this section,
and be of great pecuniary value.

Tbis statement, ascertained from aft-
disputable authority, is the final analy
sis of - the military, weakness of the
'wuntry set forth' in tbe report of Gen.
Leonard Wood, as Chief of staff of the
army. "In reply to a resolution by Rep
resentative McLnchlan, of California,
passed at the last session pf Congress,
calling for a statement as to the pre'
paredness of the nation to resist inva
sion ' in case of war with an Asiatic
power. v
, The report, which is said to be the
most comprehensive expose of the con
dition of the army ever made public.
will attribute the deficiency of the mili
tary forces to several primary causes,
It will set forih that the dissection of
the army into small military unite nec
essary to garrison scores of so called

A Valuable Bulletin.7 ;
' Bulletin 212 of the North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station by
Dr. F. L. Stevens, which has just ap
peared from! the press gives full direc
tions tor preventing the various smuts
of oats and wheat. These are due to
little living parastic plants which grow
within tbe wheat and out plants. They
causes large loss, cutting down the yield
ef grain, often ns much as 20 per cent
or over, 30 pec cent, while the sinking
smut of wheat does a greater damage
by injuring the milling quality of the
grain. The formalin treatment which
is thoroughly effective and costs almost
nothing, is Described and recommended
for oat smut. The same treatment is
even more effective than the ordinary
blue-stone statement for the stinking
smut in wheat.. The loose smut of
wheat can be prevented by a modified
hot water treatment coupled with sepa
rate growth of seed in a protected
seed plat Director C. fl. Williams,
Wesst Raleigh, N. C, states that these
diseaaes cause thousands upon thous
ands of dollars hist every year to the
oat and wheat eropa oj the State and
that this bulletin waa prepared especi-
(ally to give fa-mers at this time the
latest and most effective means of
combating theao diseases. ' He statea
that a copy of this bulletin may b se

Denies Rumor That His Visit
Means Another Request For
1 00,000,000 of Congress,
Panama, Nov. 17. The Panama ea
nal will be completed- December 1st,
ma, .Thia information was given to
President Taft today while "he was in
specting the famous Gatun dam, on
which he spent several hours. The of
ficial date of the opening remains Jan
1, 1913. Lieutenant Colonel Goethals
desiring one year in which to train the
canal tenders and to get the machinery
working smoothly. ; .'.,;
Ships meantime will be granted the
privilege of tin eanal, but at their own
riik of delays incident to inexperienced
operation. -' . . , , I
In addition it was announced by Lt.
Colonel Goethals that the report that
President Tafi'a visit was the forerunC
ner of a request for another $100,000,
000 from Congress Was unfounded. The
canal will be completed in 1913, he add
ed, within the $375,000,000 already au
thorized.
The' President was tremendously
pleased at the outlook for the early
completion of the great work, and con
gratnlated Colonel Goethals. He ex
pressed amazement at the amount of
work accomplished since his visit to the
Isthmus in February, 1909. The Presi
dent was greatly surprised ,at the im
mensity of the dam. Borne idea of which
can be gained from the fact that tie
special train was under way nearly 3
nours on tne spur tracks overrunning
the great fill. The President exchimed

Academy Doing Good Work
Mr. Editor: '' ; ; " ,
It may be of interest to your readers
to know that New Bern is : forcing her
wsy to the front along industrial lines
as connected with -her work,-which
means so much to the very best inter- .
est of Eastern Carolina, When you '
educate a man to both think and work.
You have made him useful as a man
and citizen. It is 4iot the thoughtful
and industrious man that is a menace
to good government No. It is the idle
hand and stupid mind. It is the duty
of each man to see that his neighbor
knows how to think ard work. The
Eastern N. C. L Academy, was plant
ed Jan. 1901 for the express purpose '
of teaching the people how to think and
work. Now as to how well we have
succeeded in this effort. We invite
the public to come up to the academy -and
go through the four two story
buildings and examine them and then
let us show you ourabooks, and you
will be surprised to know of the thous
ands of dollars brought to New Bern by
this school through ita industrial depart
ment. It waa juat last week that we
ahipped a lot of brooms made at this
school to Atlanta, Ga. and we still have
large orders to fill from abroad. We
thank the friends who have helped us to
build up this school and I am sure that
vou do not regret for a moment the
money that you gave to help us build
up this institution. And right here, I
went to thank the editor of the Journal
the County Supt the Gaskill Hard are
Co., the Cutler-liladee Hardware Co,,
the Meadows Co. and all of merchants
for the words of encouragement given
93.80tyrom time to titye and putting on the
