One of the striking evidence* a4
America's npid rise toward commercial
and Industrial leadership of the
world. Is the Panama Canal, win almost
certainly handle more freight in.
I 1924 than will Sues. 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. . When Alexander the
Great conquered Egypt 'the' Cmoal
was one of the oldest of engiaeering
works
Between 1304 and 1915 the present
Panama Canal was ?onstruct"d It

one fourth that sum Bn* Suez is a

The W'orM War was not the wJr
unexpected factor in bringing Pan a
ma to quickly to equality with Suez.
[ nor the most Important. The enor
mo a s increase in Panama traffic io
i 1W3 was represented almost entirely
! by petroleam and ita products, mor
f :ng from California to the east coast
and Earope in the year ended Jrraf <
39. 1324. tcfls aggregating f24.2S9.C0*
| were collected, of which $S.O71,09fi
was from tankers carry log petroleum
1 An even more striking statement of;
the matter is^U^gi^lef^ the same year ;
exactly SO.' $&r cent of all Loaaazs I
through the Canal was between the!
two ocean fronts of the United;
States, that is. tons; and
I of this, considerably over S.OOO.OOff'
I tons, or more than two-thirds was pe roieorn.
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. So late, indeed, as 1319 wh u?.

__ A hoki-i?p of jl h|th*r unusual nature
was staged in Lancaster early
Monday enming when a car driven
by an unknown negro mar. stopped at
the Roddey Filling Station on West
Gay street and requested that the
tank of the car be supplied with fifteen
gallons of gas. 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. Chief Youngblood of the
Rock Hill police department and an
insurance agent came to Lancaster
Tuesday and claimed the car for the .
owner., The pistol is reported to have
been found in the car.?Lancaster
