? Ttrw* people at Hyde county are
too well conversant with the dlsad
Yantag?? accruing 'from their rail
road stopping in Belhavcn or to con

can choose the road they wish to
ship or travel by. knowing th&t com

people. It ia quite an Item.
J don't wiwh to asacr^ that- In try
Ing to stop this railroad in Belh'aven,
the Norfolk and Southern 'managers
are acting underhand. -crooked, or
taking any undue advantage of any
one. These, people are shrewd far
peeing manipulators, Idokly solely to
their own Interest, caring nothing for
the general public. For tfcfls reason
If the people's present interest is not
protected, there will be another case
of being "dominated by a railroad."
One trouble Is few Individuals
are farslghted enough to consider the
Importance of giving this railroad a
proper outlet, and msny who do, are
negligent, or don't think their efforts
would avail anything, which accounts
for the eeemlng lark of interest upon
the part of the people, a*nd there Is
where Mr. lamb, the general man
ager of the Norfolk _ and Southern.
in giving such personal attention to
this matter Is making - good. He
knows how to make an impression;
as well as Impress others "that the
people do not care."
Mr. Lamb was chosen for his po
sition because he knows how to do
things; because he knows which
things are the best for the interest
of his railroad and how to do thgpe
things best. Mr. I^ambls so eager to
keep -this railroad from getting to
Washington \ where there will be
competition for its traffic from that
vastly wealthy territory, be does not
leave It to'lrtbe^s: he knows the best
vrsy to have things done is "do It,"
and has left nothing undone that
could help stop this railroad. This
should show to the 8tate Council' the
importance Mrv Lamb places upon
checking this move before it gets too
far, or in the reaph'of litigation com
petition oT~ other roads bidding. . .
It !? hoped the masses, who, for
hundreds' of years have bo faithfully
toiled will 'be shown, "we serve the
people."
