Tilley's Emporium. Gov. Craig Charges S-A. L. Ry I7ith Coniompt Toward Stato "" Raleigh, N. C, April 10.7 The conference between officials of seven railroads was con tinned this afternoon until noon Saturday because of the absence of representatives of the Seaboard Air Line. C. R. Capps, freight traffic manager of the Seaboard was said to be on his way to Ral efgh, and the adjournment was taken out of consideration for the men who represent six other rail roads. Governor Craig and mem 1 . nersoi.tnc special commission made it plain that they thought the action of the Seaboard in not having representatives here was nothing short of contempt for the state of North Carolina and the other railroads interested. Judge Council in announcing the decis ion to continue the conference un til Saturday at noon, said that the railroads would be expected to submit a basis of settlement and that the details could be worked out later. It was 1 1 .jo when dovernor Ciaig called the conference to ol der, he saving that it was un necessary to explain the objects of the gathering, lie instructed Clerk Griffin to call over the list 0;' iMads that were represented at the other two conferences, and all answered except the Norfolk Sorihern and Seaboard. The Nor folk Southern representing subsequently arrived. Representative K. J. Justice, a member of the 'commission, told of the work done since the last conference, lie said that Cap tain Thorn spoke authoritatively at the last meeting for all the railroads. Mr. Justice and Judge Council went to Washington for a conference with General Coun sel Thorn, and were told by Cap tain Thorn and President I'inley that a full statement could not be made until after conference with the other road.s. On April 15 all roads were represented at a con ference in Washington except the Seaboard am Norfolk Southern. Captain Thorn said.

The poets have sung their songs and writers have given us their articles on violets until it is hard ly possible to add effectively one new adjective to the dainty little flower. There is scarcely one of us who has not felt the gladness given in the finding of the first violet bloom, warning us that the glorious spring tide is near at hand. Well has it been said that "an armful of daisies keep the peace of a block better than a dozen police clubs." Just so with the violet. May the "Violet Cam paign" be so successfully carried out that in future years our town may be refered to as "a city with a Violet Crown." ' Fittingly has it been said that "The day is coming when all beauty shall be known to one, when music and laughter and per fume and sunshine and flowers as well as righteousness and justice shall be recognized as the gar ments in which He clothes Him self, in which we live and move and have bur being.
