Everybody hasquit trying tomake a living and is trying t& matfemWiey! f It is the agitators who are "keeping the world stirred up to the fighting point.

The the voune men Dick ud and go, but worse .when men with families come to the conclusion that they must move to some other place where the oppor tunities and advantages are ' better. Generally, families consist of several people, i so that when a 'number, of families go it means a decided loss to a county or ' a community, unless as many more families come to take their places. Elizabethtown is the county seat of Bladen county, and in deploring .the moving; away of some good families,' the Journal's corres pondent there says: "What we need is not people mov ing out but into our section. What we need in this county is more trans portation facilities, better roads and conditions to invite people from tne outside world to come among us. We are tired of seeing our county a place for speculations: in land and' timber rather than settling people who. may abide and make permanent nomes. What we need is brawn and muscle to tackle our farms, clear up the pitiful forests left by the lumbermen, instead ot land speculations. We need an or ganized agency of our best men in the county to settle people upon these farms." T -. . ; ' :. : Li Of cours'e, there? are. .'always? move ments of people Jrom one point to 4' otner. Many prosperous ;cououes aoso: people because the opportunities are better for those particular people in some other county, but when they go others will come to take .their places Mr the -same reason provided "the dp- f portunlties are good. There's the rub, however: ' -" if the ' advantages; 'oppoir tunitteSi and posaibilitiea are, .Jacking, it "shows "a'sta'te'of affairs tha calls for" a remedy. There is a cause why people are moving . away instead 01 moving m. Some are not moving in for the same reason that others are moving away. There is nothing wrong with Bladen county lands when they are properly drained and modern farming is done. There are fine lands In that fertile county, so the reason that homeseek- ers are not coming into Bladen is a matter for the people of that county! to consider " seriously. Probably" the chief "' thing' 'that Bladen "needs' is ; good schools, good roads and drainage. If it hasn't got those, Bladen ought to start in with a movement to, )lace herself in readiness for homeseekers. We can't ' expect them until we r can entertain them with something; be sides pur fine climate and fertile ands. league will not only call for a halt in the purchase of eggs until conditions are improved, but will urge the en forcement of the. law which requires all cold storage ; eggs to be labeled. This law has been generally ignored and it has been possible to palm off storage .eggs 'f at the price of fresh eggs. The women have a merry war on theirs hands, but The Observer is inclined to believe they will succeed in bringing about a desirable improvement- in market conditions. Char lotte Observer. PENDER MONUMENT. To the Editor of The Star: I find our correspondent from Bur gaw on the 26th attempted to clear up the errors that the Whiteville cor respondent made in regard to the re straining order that was dissolved by Judge Rountree on Monday, the 24th. Regarding the business men of the town vs. the location of the Confede rate monument by the U. D. C. Chap ter 761, I want to state heresthat I have no correction . to make ; as, . to what he said. But one tale does well until anoth er one is told'. On February - 20th, 1904, this chapter secured a charter and tbegan the great .. task headed by Mrs.-Flora "Williams and Miss Maggie 1 Williams; soliciting ' members.' and runus. .iater irviiie ,woi-k jvirs hj. ij. Larkins-vanI' others joined tint? with thern.and did tfuite auot of ctoUecting funds-'' and'1 adding new members to the chapter. .; i, After they all together had labored until they had several hundred dol lars there was an appropriation by the legislature for Pender county to give them ?500. Early in the Spring of this year there was a contract en tered ? into by the U. D. C. and the Cooper Monument Co.; of .Raleigh, the. 'con tract price of said monument to be $1,800, and after the contract was signed by Miss Maggie Williams as secretary of the U. D. C, and -by the Cooper Co., and the pledge of the county commission; with the under standing of all parties that it should be erected in front , of the Court House. ; - , , There arose a dissension between the Daughters in regards to the site of the monument and all this trouble has grown out of said discussion and as they claim they had a right to place it in the streets and Miss Mag gie Williams and those that are with her. claim,they have, the right only 'to follow the contract and she holds the charter and the contract and the com missioners are ready to comply with their part when the contract is com plied with. These are ..facts and I hope for. the benefit of all concerned you, will give me space in your col umns. Respectfully, A. E. BURTON. Burgaw, N. C, Nov. 27, 1913.

HITS THE VIRGINIA CITIES. Judging from the action of the .Vir ginJa.Jbasmg;i)oints in protesting be forV the 1 Int!er-State Commerce Com mission against freight rate reduction inrOTfcriBa territory,, it is, the cities btttjie "sister State that ' seem to be more affected than the railroaus. "We don'tbelleve the railroads will be hurt at all, for ust rates that will enable the great ; resources of North Carolina tot1eevploDed on a; broader scale are b'ofin fa give; the' railroads compensating Dusmess t6 makep for their concessions. - Virginia cities have long had the ad vantage in the matter of freight rates : compared TwStSt.. those which showed -palpable discrimination against our cities. , ;-That they should yield that ad vantage without a pang or a protest iB.clontra. to. reason, hence their fight against Just; rates for- North Carolina . must-beregarded. as' a hopeless effort at "sell-defenses. If we are right, the Virginia cities are wrong and as a logi cal cohsedrunce they' will have to yield to the inevitable. We should be ; pa tient with' themr ?orrit ,Is natural for them to show signs of pain when their cinch ' Is lopped off in a manner that eSJtortfii Carolina cities a showing at the bat We are sorry for .them, but - it Is Nprtb, ..Carolina's inning now. . The best informed men in British maritime circles do not believe' that the United States will stick to its pur pose to exempt American ships "from Panama Canal toll, because a prefer ential in favor of American chips would discourage foreign shipping from using the canal to as great an extent as they would otherwise. fSiup.e; no toll will be collected from Amerij- can ships, as the law now stands, all the revenue for operation and main tenance of the canal would have to be secured irom foreign ships. If, however, free-toll American ships have such an advantage that foreign ships will be deterred from using the canal, - where is the revenue coming from to keep the canal going, unless it comes out of the people of the United States? That would be making the masses pay the tolls for the ships of the ocean carrying companies. Believing" that America will see it that twjty andc tfIIT":be compelled - to charge ail sbips a toll of $1.25 per ton in order to make both ends meet, the British shippinjg interests : are going ahead with their preparations to use the canal whenever, it is to their ad vantage to do so., -British ship-owners and merchants in every line of pro duce and imanufacure .have carefully laid plan$ for any tchaiagel that m&y come bver the trade "of the world as a result of the opening, of Ithe canal. All the big steamship, .companies have added to their tonnage, and the new ships that are being built are de signed to meet the special ' require ments of the canal. Coaling stations also are being arranged for in. order that ships may get coal between Coldn and England. That means that they do not propose to come out of their way up the North Atlantic coast to get coal. It. is necessary for them to get it In the South Atlantic, and so we are neglecting a fine opportunity by not having a coaling station , at Southport. - , : V CASE MUST GO TO JURY TODAY. EMERSON AND FINLEY. PRESIDENTS. M. EMERSON. (Raleigh News and Observer.) . The death of the presidents of two great Southern railway systems on the same day was a most remarkable coincidence. - President Emerson, of the Atlantic Coast Line, and. Presi dent Finley, of the Southern, were both railroad men of" signal ability. The order of Mr. Finley'a ability was, as we pointed out yesjterday, in the line of originative .and. creative work. Mr. Emerson belonged rather to the old school of railroading and his strength ? was in the . established and accepted activities of .railroad man agement" with the result. that his road has beeri3 one of the :most profitable in the country. As a'- practical rail road man, experienced ;:in and enjoy ing the splving of every-day railroad traffic problems, gifted in the selec tion of effective subordinates and ca pable of inspiring-themi to a high de gree of efficiency, Mr. Emerson achieved distinguished success. He was traffic manager of his road from 1891 to 1902 and it is said that during those years there was hardly a more capable traffic man in the United States than he. Although born in Ohio Mr. Emer son had lived in , the South so long that he had become Southern in sym pathy and particularly had he absorb ed the Southern characteristics of geniality and kindliness. He was very popular in Wilmington, which had been his home for many years. " Like most other railroad men who have won,' highr position he started at the bottom, and. by industry and appli cation won a .position" of pre-eminence and? great emolument. , D E A D ; ftj I L R O A p Pp E SI D EN TS. ( Charlotte Observer. ) ', 'It is remarkable thaiUhe deaths of PresidenB W. W.-Finlej of the South ern Railway, and of f'Ptesldent T. M. Emerson kjf the Atlantic Coast Line, were 'both 'recorded inyesterday morn ing's papers: Both Men died sudden ly and there were only" two years be tween them1 in' age; n'ilt is a further coincidence that Mr: Finley's predeces sor as head of the Southern Railway, Samuel' '-Spencer, mefc' death, in a wreck, almost- an even six years be fore the very anniversary, lacking but one day. All of these railroad executives died when it might have been supposed that there were many years of high usefulness awaiting each of them. Mr. Finley and Mr. Emer son, if not- also Mr. Spencer, may be recorded as victims of the modern business pace that kills. (Greensboro Record.) The death of two presidents of the greatest railroads-in the South in one day is an unusual coincident. It was announced in Thev.Record yesterday that Mr; Finley' of tltev Southern; died suddenly in 'Washington yesterday af ternoon.
