The Salisbury Post recounts at length the recent work of the South ern Railway on its lines in this terri tory. The double tracking of Its main line out of Charlotte; additional trains between here and Salisbury and other SUSPECTS HAD 8T0RE LOOT. Alleged Bropght Youthful Burglars Back From Florida. Atlantic City, Oct. 28.—Arrested In Jacksonville, Fla., Charles H. Zimmer, ]9, and Richard Morrisey, 20 years old, wereb rought back here by De tective Miller and will be arraigned on thee harge of burglary at two stores on the Boardwalk, from which merchandise valued at $350 was stolen. James Kehoe and William Benner, j'ouths arrested by Miller a few days ago, were held on the same charge, and ball at $500 w'as fixed in each case. The police claim to have statements from them implicating Zimmer and Morrisey, in whose pos session were found two suitcases containing merchandise valued at about $100 when they were arrested at Jacksonville. The alleged connection of Zimmer and Morrisey with the Boardwalk robberies was discovered by Miller, who learned that they had left for the South on October 5. Among the stolen goods found in their posses sion was also loot from Algar’s men’s furnishing store, which, with a half* dozen other places near city hall, was looted four weeks ago. FIREBUGS ADDS TO LIST. Prisoner Confesses Fourth Barn- Burning and Horse Theft Mount Holly, N. J., Oct. 28. Furth er investigation into the horse-steal ing and barn-burning operations of Joseph Thomas, arrested in Chester field township Tuesday, and now in the county jail, has brought another confession from thep risoner. He now admits that he stole a horse and burned the buildings on the farm of Mary Longstreet, near Davis’ sta tion, on February 14 last. The horse sold to Charles Eldridge, near Detective r-.au V more. ^rospertown, from whom Parker has recovered it. This makes four crimes of this improvements and additions to its ser* character that Thomas has confessed, VIC. .re meotloned. Regarding M. "" plans in the western part of the state, the Post says: "The Southern has now turned its attention to its great western divisiui and is to put on a new train on Xdv. 5 between Salisbury and Asheville to carry a through Pullman from Xew York to the metropolis. This train will connect with Xos. 30 and 31 and will be a great convenience to travel from the north to points in Western North Carolina, and vice versi. An additional train is to be put on, it is stated, from Hickory to Asbeviile at an early day to accommodate the citi zens between these towns, A move ment is also on foot to put a ’ocal ;r:iin on between Charlotte and Mooresviilv* with reasonable assurance of snrr?ess. "Altogether, the Southern is pro»’- ins that it holds the convenionce of the puhlic it serves first and foremost, and is endeavoring to give the best ser vice possible to all its patrons. ’ This work is appreciated by the traveling public, and that appreciation will no doubt be shown in mcreased patronage. WHAT’S THIS? This interesting news Item comes from the Winston Sentinel: "Charity and Children makes this tnnnunrement: ‘Hon. H. B. Varner, the good roads apostle, formerly com- missionor of labor and printing, snd one of the best newspaper men in tne state, will be a candidate for the stn- ate from this district, Mr. Varnsr will be a capable and useful rep’^esentative in the upper branch of the 'ogislature.’ All cf which is quite true. Mr. Var ner is a ‘live wire.’ He is not only a good newspaper man but one who has achieved results in other lines and he will be a splendid state s«nator.” We endorse evry word of thl?, .'3la- tlve to the eternal fitness of Mr. Vnr- ner for the position aspired to. P.ut If memory fail us not It was only recent ly that Mr, Varner entered vigorous protest to the rumor mentioning his name as an aspirant for congressional honors, declaring, in his own style, that the job of alderman from the First Ward, with a salary of one hun dred per year, still looked good to him. We devoutly trust that the suspicion that he has lost this princely position of trust la unfounded. "We want to aee more wheat raised in Pitt county and a good flour mill mill located in Greenville. This Is a good county for growing wheat and the farmers will find it aprofitable crc^>.”— Greenville Daily Reflector. By the way, had you ever stopped to wonder why there were not a number of large flour mills in Charlotte? One would have to go a long way to find a more desirable location than our own city, and yet this avenue seems to have been slighted. Statesville ha^ at least three big mills and they are a great benefit to the town. Why not Charlotte? Loses $15,000 Appendix. Special to The New's. Atlanta, Oct. 28.—Mrs. S.

No institution can be made to render greater service than this. What the prospective farmer needs to be taught is not so much Latin and Greek as scientific methods for secur ing bigger yields with less effort and less expense. Properly managed the farm life school should be a great help to the rising generation of farmers. The floral fair fever appears to be spreading. The Gaston Progress tells us that ladles of Gastonia are planning a big show, and the same Is trie in Concord and other towns. Death of John 0. Angler. By Associated Press. Durham, Oct, 28.—John C.

Certain Parts of State History Bet ter If Sunk Into Oblivion. Pottsville, Pa., Oct. 28.—Five hun dred representatives of the county school boards attended the annual convention of the Schuplkill school directors’ association here. Dr. N. C. Scheaffer, . states uperintendent of public Instruction, made the principal address, tating that the new Penn sylvania school code, now in force, retains all the effect of the “recall and referendum.” and gives the fe male teacher full rights possessed by the suffragettes w'ho carried the state of California at the recent election, it being even possible for a woman to be state superintendent of public in struction of the great state of Penn sylvania. Taking up discussion of the pro priety of teaching a thorough history of PennsylvAiia, he said there are certain parts of the Keystone state’s history which it would best sink down into oblivion. When a fellow gets a cool recep tion he generally gets hot about it. It Is extremely difficult for a man to be happily married, unless he is a good listener.
