MEANS BIG THINGS.
Tbe IlaleiKh News niid Observer ce-
rotes couslderuble space in Suiida> s
.•8U« to a discussion of the possibili-
Liei of development opened up by
reason of the fact ihat the Norfolk
Southern has just taken over se\-
eral short lines of rainvay.
The coming of this big sjstem to
Charlotte will give this city the best
railroad facilities of any city of lil^e
size in the South.
It means big things. The Noriolk
Southern, the Southern and
Seaboard, is a great booster of the
section through which It passes. It
lids in development. It strives to at
tract capital. It uialves effort to bring
,n settlers.
The News and Observers article
Is worth reading:
“North Carolina needs, and needs
greatly, more people. It lias thou-
jands of acres of fertile land
Because its population has not grown
IS It should. When the union was es
tablished North Carolina was fifth in
population. Many states not then
born are ahead of it. Free lands in
the W’est induced settlers to go to
these new states who would other
wise have come to North Carolina.
Tbis free land is now all gone and
the trend of Immigration of men
who wish to live on the farm must be
toward the South Atlantic slates, and
North Carolina ought to get the most
^^••The state through the agricultural
department has done mucl^^
tise the resources and oppOTtunitles
In North Carolina. It can do much
more and should do it upon a syste
matic and vigorous way, but experi
ence has shown that the best results
can be obtained only when the states
and the railroads are worliing to-
fether The railroads are chietty re-
Bponsible for the great ti^ of immi
gration that settled the West. Ihey
gave cheap rates; they made known
the advantages of the West. Ihe
great duty of the railroads m the
South today is to do for the ^o^^h
wliat the big railroads did for the
West in the last decade. Some oi
them are seeing this and doing it.
All of them should do so.
"The pur«‘hase of tiie Raleigh
Southport Railroad and the Asheboro
& Aberdeen Railroad and the Dur
ham & Ciiarlotte—(there may be
others to be announced later)—by the
Norfolk Southern Railroad is a
guarantee that these railroads have
fallen into the hands of a company
that shown itself to be deeply inter
ested in the development of the prop
erty and the section through which
It runs. Before it was placed in ttie
hands of a receiver, the N^olk
Southern was doing greater things
(or the development in North Car
olina of the section through which
It ran than any other railroad. Now
that it has come to its own and is
spreading out, if the future may be
judged by the past, this new system
running from tidewater to the foot
hills of the mountains will do even
bigger things for the development
of North Carolina. It can advertise
that it serves the people who wish
to live in the rich fertile market gar-
of the Kast, the^ splendid cot-
peanut and tobacco section or
center, or the wheat and fruit
ountrjL.of tne Piedmont section.
-The Norfolli Southern Railroad
had a greater part of Us line m
eastern North Carolina when it was
first organized and North Carolina
conceived the idea that it could serve
the people of the state by making
known its great resources.
‘‘Following up this idea, it made an
exhibit of the resources of Eastern
North Carolina at the Ohio state faU’,
held in Columbus, in August. This
exhibit attracted a great deal of at
tention, and many people who saw
it thought that the statements made
as to Eastern North Carolina might
be greatly exaggerated. However,
twenty-seven substantial farmers
from Ohio, determining to investigate
for themselves, paid their
to that section through which the
Norfolk Southern Railroad runs, and
weJe greatly pleased. They stated
that in no respect whatever had there
been any misrepresentation as to the
rwources or fertility of that section
r*v. n/.imtrv and. as a matter of
of w-j not been told, and
'“'i .rath had been told In
II the would have believed it.

*^I>nrlnc the month ot Norember.
the Norfolk Southern Railroad fol
lowing out its policy of
the state, made another exhibit at
the Land and industrial show, uela
in the Madison Square Garden. New
York. The exhibit was unique m
character, and attracted widespread
attention. It represented in nimi^
ture a farm. The
the farm was of corn stalks, topped
ofT bv eai-s of corn, made something
like a picket fence. On the right
hand side as you entered the boott^
was a field of corn growing m soU,
wliich came from the eastern part
of the state. This corn represented
exnt'tly a tiehl of corn, and the stalks
iiiea.Mired 17 feet high, well eared and
in fine proportion. The soy bean and
l)t'as were sow'n on the corn, with the
vines of the pea running up the stalk
almost to th*e top. On the left hand
was a field of cotton ready for the
pickers, the stalks having been pull
ed from actual field cultivation. As a
background were shown the grains
and grasses that are grown in the
eastern part of tiie state. Overhead
hung the bright tobacco, with prices
marked at which same actually sold
on the floor of the market, and this
attiaeted a great deal of attention.
The iniits and vegetables were
di.splayed to a very great advantage,
an dtiie wiiole was unique in charac
ter, and while in small space com
pared very favorably with the ex
hibits made by the great systems or
the North and Northwest whete many
tltonsands of dollars had been spent
in the preparation of their exhibits.
The result of this wori; has been to
attract the attention of a very hign
class of farmers of the Northwest to
the eastern part of North Carolina,
some of whom have already acquired
property ami are preparing to make
extensive improvements. It is be
lieved a great many others will lol-
low.
"If the Norfolk Southern Railroad
continues its policy and can be back
ed up by the people in the section
from Tidewater to the Piedmont coun
try, it w ill lead to a great awakening,
largely increasing the values of piop-
erty, and turn the waste places to the
finest homes to be found In the At
lantic states and inhabited by the
finest class of agricultural people.”
AGAINST GAMBLING.
South Carolina is likely to have reg
ular racing and the Columbia Record
quotes on its front page an editorial
from the .lacksonville Times-Union
against gambling which every one
should read carefully.
“The Florida Times-Union of Jack
sonville is a conservative newspaper.
It is friendly to, if not controlled by,
the interests which control the Florida
East Coast railway and the big tourist
hotels of the Florida East Coast. It
is not a muckraker, nor a yellow jour
nal, nor a Puritan publication, or any
thing of that sort, but a straightfor
ward, progressive, conservative news
paper.
••While the bill to drive horse rac
ing out of Florida was pending in the
Florida legislature—and the bill pass
ed with only one vote against It in the
house and no votes against it in the
senate—while this bill was pending,
while the Business Men’s Anti-racing
association was urging Its p^fesage,
the Florida Times-Union. on April 9th,
1911, published the following editorial:
The Fishermen and the Suckers.”
“The people of Jacksonville have
tried race track gambling for two
years and we believe have gotten
enough of it. We think that public
sentiment here, with scarcely a dis
senting voice, will back any effort in
the legislature to put an end to it.
“We need not discuss gambling in
general. It is against the policy of the
state and of the city| It is against the
policy of practically all states and
all cities. We see no reason why it
should be permitted at race tracks and
forbidden everywhere else. We do
not see why men should be permitted
to play for thousands at Moncrief
nia'o invitation to them to come
sonville 8 invitauou
here and live three m^ths at in®
pense of the city be withdrawn.
We craTTp^ission of Judge Clark,
of the Statesville Landmark to inter
ject the remark that we are now iv-
ing in the glad era of hog kilUng
time.”
The subject of good rpads continues
to attract general attention and elicit
public interest. The meeting in Rich-
mond today promises to result in
much good. ^
Bob Deal, of the Wilkesboro Chron
icle, tells us he employs four trained
pigs to milk his cow. That is almost'
as good a bit of romancing as his
fable about the Wilkes county Son-
Uer.” ^
The dispatch with w'hich a jury is
being selected to try the McNamaras
is nothing short of marvelous. The
jury box is half filled and this in
the remarkably short time of about two
months. No chance for justice to go
to sleep in Los Angeles.

Medicines like those of Dr.“ R. V. Pierce of Buffalo, warrant their makers in printing their every ingre
dient which thcv do, upon their outside wrappers, verifying the correctness of the same under oath.
This 'open publicity places these medicines in a class all by thtmselves. Furthermore, it warrants physicians
in preicribiiljg them largely as they do in their worst cases.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
U a. most potent alterative or bhod^puriHet, and tonic or invigorator and acts especially favorably
in a curative way upon all tbe mucous lining surfaces, as of the nasal passages, throat, bronch
ial tubes, stomach and bowels, curing a large per cent, of catarrhal cases whether the disease af-
fects the nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bronchia, stomach (« catarrhal dyspepsia), liver,
bowels (as mucous diarrhea), or other organs. ,
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
Is advised for the cure of one class of diseases onlj^—those peculiar weaknesses, derangements and irregularit
iar to women. It is a powerful yet gently acting invigorating tonic and nervine.
For weak, worn-out, over-worked women—no matter what has caused the break^domm, **FayoHte Prescription”
win be found most effective in building up the strength, regulating the womanly functions, subduing pain and
bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system,
A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving the formulae of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent med.
ical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in prescribing, say of each
ingredient entering Into thtse medicines.
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non-secret, and contain no harmful habit-forming drugs, being composed of glyceric
cxtrax:ts of the roots of native, American, medicinal,, forest plants. They are both sold by dealers in medicine. You

‘ But leaving entirely out of sight the
moral aspect of betting on horse rac
es, it is now pretty generally known
that it does not pay. It does not pay
the amateur who risks his money and
generally losea it, and it does not pay
the community that permits It.
“In all sorts of games and occupa
tions in which chance plays a large
part in the result, those who play are
divided into two classes—the suckers
and those fishing for suckers. ’ The
suckers go after the bait not knowing
about the hook. The fishermen go after
the suckers.
‘This is true of the stock exchange
of New York, the races at Moncrief
the gambling places where some men
make their living and others supply it,
and of all so-called games of chance.*
W'e are not sure that there is such a
thing as a pure game of chance. We
are not certain that there is a game
in which skill gives no advantage.
‘‘In the horse racing the men who
are fishing for suckers come to Jack-
Bonville, The suckers are already here.
The race track employes, the follow
ers of the races, thousands in num
ber, are supported out of the pockets
of the people of Jacksonville. They
don’t come here to spend money; they
come here to make mtiney They don’t
come to make it by work that adds
to the wealth of the community. They
come to make it without work out of
the earnings of the community. The
people of Jacksonville pay their board
and buy their clothing and furnish
them with spending money. They come
with the expectation of living here
during the racing season and leaving
with more money than they brought.
"We are not condemning these men.
They are simply accepting an invita
tion. We are not charging them with
crookedness. Betting on races is their
business and they make a living at it
by being better judges than the aver
age man of the merits of the horses
They don’t take a dollar from any
man who is not trying to take a dollar
from them. With no unklndness to
these men, we simply ask that Jack-
