Washington. April 18th. -Admiral
Dewey yesterday unveiled the statue of
John Paul Jones, the fighting Scotch
American whose name leads the list of
the United States early naval heroes
The booming of the natioral salute of
21 guns from the United States steam
ship Dolphin and Mayflower concluded
simple, but impressive exercises, par
ticipated in by the President and most
of the dignitaries in Washington.
Secretary of the navy Meyr presi
ded over the ceremonies and President
Taft and Gen. Horace Porter were the
nnitkora President Taft said in his
address it was fortunate for 'he navy
that it had such a hero to furnish the
spirit to thoe who made up its merab
ership.
"The battle in which he bad to take
the deck of his antagonist to win the
victory, as his own ship went down,
said the President, "will alwais stand
out in the h: story of naval warfare as
the greatest example ot a victory won
by the individual bravery and indomina-
ble courage of a commander that has
been known to the world."
The failure of the conferees of the
two houses of Congress to agree on the
resolution providing for the popular
election of United States senators was
announced to the senate by senator
Claike, of Arkansas, who said he would
biing up the matter in the senate next
Tuesday.
That Theodore Roosevelt will be the
Republican nominee for President is
he emphatic statement made by rep
rtsentative William Schley Howard
Since Colonel Roosevelt's overwhelm
ing Victory in Pennsylvania arid Illinois,
deft atinir Diesident Taft as much as 2
to 1 in some instances," says Mr. How
ard, 'Ihe socsll d Taft delegates in the
Snn h nre fallii'tr over themselves to
lice ud with the Roosevelt forces
firmly believe Mr. Roosevelt will now
get a large rr.ajority of the delegates
in the south, which are being claimeo
by the Taft people and that Mr. Roob
evelt will be nominated at Chicago by n
safe majority.
A delegation from Elizabeth City,
re D'esenling the chamber of commerce
appeared before ihe senate commerce
committee, and urged Congress to pur
chase the Dismal Swamp Canal in con
nection with ihe inland water way pro
inrL Senator Simmons, who intro
duced ihe North Carolina delegation,
told the committee he fsvored the gov
ernment purchase of both canals be
cause tbs pun hise of one and not the
other would result in great ir justice to
commerce and business which have
been devl ped by the establishment of
the waterways. It was pointed out
that Elizabeth City and South Mills ard
contiguous territory would suffer a
blow which would a most destroy them
if the Lake Drummond canal is c!oad
down. Mr. Lee and Mr. Lamb declared
Elissbcih City now enjoys a tremtnd-
ous trade which originates on theca-
naL Thy said they looked to the gov
ernment for protection snd held that
the purchase of the Lake Drummond
canal and its maintenance as auxiliary
with email tolls would give them the
protection they desired, otherwise the
Mrritory would be Irreparably ruined
by an act of the government from
which they can get no rodrtsa unless
Congress act.

town or to some individual or business firm, more or less in
conveniently loca.ed, for the purpose of paying a bill or
debt
This inconvenience and loss of time may be avoided by
keeping a checking account with this bank, wr.ting out a
check for the amount of the bill and mailing it the same a
a letter.
