Business Men Told to Interest Themselves in the Project and They Will See Freight Rates Fall.'

EXCELLENT ADDRESS BY S. A. THOMPSON Domination of American Railroads Is Reason Why U. S. Manufacturers Are Hurt in Foreign Markets.

Declaring that Richmond business men would be benefited materially and the citizens generally would be affected, by presenting statistics showing that cities in other countries, and some in this country, had profited from the Improvement of Inland waterways, the ' Hon. S. A. Thompson, of this city, field secretary of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, addressed a large number of the business men of the city on the question last evening, at the ' Commercial Club meeting. Mr. Thompson has been officially connected with the Rivers and Harbors congress for several years and in this time has acquired knowledge of conditions in all parts of the United States. This is the first time that he has had opportunity to address the Richmond business men on the subject He has ' delivered addresses on the subject in practically every state and he is recognized as an authority. His discourse ; last evening, was In part, as follows: - Has Water on Brain. I frankly admit that I have water on the brain and never expect to get over it, but I am not so completely a man of one Idea that I attribute this strik- ' ing difference In foreign commerce

solely to the difference in the relative development of waterways, but I am convinced that it Is due chiefly to the fact that their v waterways have been developed, while ours have been neglected. Let me give you a concrete illustration of the handicap under which the American manufacturer now competes in the race for commercial supremacy. The president of a great concern which manufactures clay products, seeking to extend the business of his company, sent men to South America, the Philippines, and the cities . of Asia. He found himself beaten in every Instance by German competitors. Not because of the quality of his goods or the cost of production, but because the German manufacturer could get his goods down to the seaboard through inland waterways at a cost of 80 cents per ton, while it cost the American $4.80 per ton. ; ; Waterways Are Needed. The extra cost of $4.00 per ton on that class of goods made the difference between getting the business and getting left I am willing to match the American manufacturer and the American workman against any others In the world. Supplement their ability and skill with a system of inland waterways, as good as that of Germany, and there is no question In my mind as to which would win. Unless we develop our .; inland water ways, however, we must be content to see ourselves beaten in the race, and I will add that unless we shall develop our Inland waterways, the Panama Ca

nal will be a detriment to . American rather than a benefit For it will enable the manufacturers of Germany, of England, and even of Japan, to lay their goods down in the ports of South America, or Asia, for less than we can get them down to our seacoast to start upon their ocean journey. - Blames the Railways. Present conditions are a handicap not only upon our foreign commerce, out upon internal development There is probably not a business man before me who does not know by bitter experience the delays and losses caused by the utter inability of the railroads of the country to promptly transport the business offered them for a time before the coming of the panic of 1907., I believe that a a far greater degree than has been ' generally' recognized that panic was caused by the long-continued demoralization of traffic ' by which it was preceeded. Be that as it may, It was' conclusively demonstrated that the railways of the country are utterly unable to handle the traffic which the country can produce the roads, as a leading railway journal said editorially, being "literally swamped by prosperity."

We had walked nearly five miles in the hot sun. and 1 was about ready to drop. That big drum was heavy. When we reached our car after the parade my feet were sore, my back ached. 1 . was perspiring all over my face and was completely tired out As I almost staggered past the old fanner be looked at me contemptuously.

Perfectly Unprejudiced. Here the judge took a hand in examining the venireman. "You don't seem, to understand thp questions addressed to you by the attorneys.' be said. "What they want to know is whether you have formed or expressed any opinion In this case. That Is to say. have you told anybody whether or not you believe the defendant guilty of the crime charged against him or have you said to anybody that you believe him innocent?" "Course not jugge." answered the venireman. "It ain't necessary for me to express no opinion about him. I've knowed him for thirty years, an X know blame well he stole the cow." "That will do, Mr. Skiles. You may stand aside." Chicago Tribune.

Pleasure as an End. The man who chooses pleasure as the object of his life has no real haven, but is like a boat that beats up and down and drifts and drifts to and fro, merely to feel' the motion of the waves and the impulse of the wind. When the voyage of life is done he has reached no port; he has accomplished nothing. Henry van Dyke. -

There are two forms of bodily cleanliness, the external and the internal The one is for your pride in yourself; the other for your life and health. Both are important but of vastly -more importance in the loos run is the interna! cleanliness. This Is one point that all should watch about their body the cleanliness of the bowels. Keep them clean and free from obstructions. To do this you must have one or two movements of the bowels each twenty-four hours. If your system does not do this naturally. In the process of eating and drinking, then you must obtain aid of some kind. After Undine out that cathartics, salts and such things relieve you for a day. but bind you up worse than ever the next day. then try a simpler and more natural remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
