For several years | the two canals have been In a neck I and neck competition whose Imp'ica-. tlons are the more Interesting be a t?- the Panama ditch' Ls owned by the American Government, and that at S^iei by the British Government. Of course both Canals are opyn to the ship-s of ail nations, and the competition between them Is not oaiy the t"ni*ed States and Britain. but in a larger and even more significant view it is competition be! tween eld wortd and new world When the Panama Canal *a* opened in 1315, Suez w?* siready transit[ mg about 25.<KW>,0*? tons of freight ; annually. Almost nobody believed; i Panama could ever attract anything approaching such a volume But dur ire the war fear of (Jennaa subma- | rines la the" Mediterranean caused many vessels to take the Panama! route between the far east and Eu ropean or American ports This gave* Panama its introduction and ?it has not only held but greatly increased its business since the war In 1923 Krrrama transited 5037 vessel* aciinst 4121 for Suet; Panama him died 25,150,0)0 cargo tons against 22. 770.000 for Soez This was the first yc:-r of Panama s lead A Cose Race The following year Suez barely ex reeded Panamas tonnage, and in 1925 comfortably held its iead Rat reports for 1325 to date indicate that Suez Is losing, owing fo Britain's industrial depression, while Panama is doing better and Is pretty certain to resume the lead. The present Suez Canal has been in operation nearly sixty y?ar?v Panama only eleven. Although few people except antiquarians know it,' the first canal at Sue* was built more tkaa 3.000 years ago It was In op eration as early as B. C. 13*0; how long before, is mere Conjecture. Bofore the Christian era began the ditch had been built, destroyed, rebuilt, ailted up and built up again, time after time. .

It was of course chiefly ! from California, en 'route to eastern refineries In the succeeding year this petroleum moxement fell off hearrily; bit for 1?!4 it is r&gain Increasing and the increase is likely to continue for many years But for the petrpleum traffic, the Canal would hare shown a deficit in eTery year Of its operation. ***** The enormous petroleum business has been tn other ways advantageous to Panama. A constantly increasing proportion of maritime sh'% tng now-: adaya uses Oil fuel Oil-burning ships Wk routes on which they can most ' cheaply buy oil: and because California oil can be put so cheaply into the bunkers of vessels passing : through ^the ^Panama (fitch, there is a substantial Inducement to prefer tbti route. This will lacreasing!y favor Panama and militate against Suez. ras the number of oi! burners increases Moreover. Panama's advantage will still further increase as the enormous ol) re sources of Venezuela. Colombia, and other South American countries are developed. . Great Service * Panama K cheap petroleum has thus served Panama so well, Panama in turn has equally served the American motor lot. who consumes most of the world's petroleum products. For Panama has brought the Pacific Coast petroleum to the eastern market at costs which, but for tit Canal, would be vastly greater. Thus ths Canal has given the United States the cheapest petroleum products in the world, and helped build the automobile industry and our modern highway system. This mutually helpful relationship between the Canal and the petroleum users Is the more Impressive when . one realises that It was not even re motely anticipated at The time Presi * dent Roosevelt started building th* Canal.

Gillespie Roddey the young son of Mayor E. B. Roddey, who was in charge of the station at the time, complied with the request in his usual prompt and accommodating way in serving. and when' the tank had been fined and the cap replaced. stepped forward to receive his j pay .only to be met by the barrel of a 1 big pistol thrust in his face by the [ negro, and a gruff voice commanding' him to stand back and keep quiet, | whereupon the car moved off. leaving young Roddey speechless with amaze-" men: at the boldness of the affair, staged right in front of his home. He gave notice of what had happened at once and t"he local authorities were [ able to trace the negro's movements in the direction of Kershaw avid a description of the car, a Nash sedan, enabled Poljcefpan ^ F.Mothershed ? of Kershaw to give chase as the car passed through Kershaw fabout 9:30 o'clock. Seeing he was about to be caught, he abandoned the car and took hi the woods, making his escape. The car was taken in charge by the authorities and brought back to Lancaster. It was learned, mean while, that the car and the negto driver, had crossed the L. & C. Ferry late Monday afternoon and it developed tha:' the car belonged to L. F. Waldrop of Rock Hill.
