I.The Observer's editorial of yesterday morning cer tainly pleased the Stanly people who travel the Yadkin Railroad, at least those who are not afraid to start out on the perilous trip. - Albemarle and the county are all right, , but , there haa to be considerable attraction to woo a man from Salisbury down this road, it needs the attention of the corporation commission, if anything In the world, does.' . s - . . v There have been two wrecks on the Yadkin this week, though neither has cost a life. Whenever an engine turns over, and the only troubles to be recorded are the delay of passen gers r twelve houra . and the demoli tion "of a doaen cars, this la ao con servative an - accident that nobody paya no attention, to It Editor Blvena thla week hit the-road some hard Itcka and says that If - the protests from the people are longer Ignored "soma steps must , be taken In the Interest of the common need." There is no fault to find with the crews.' Everyone of them dsserves a Carne gie medal, for not a man goea out but must feel that the chances of his Coming back Intact are against him. Of course the trouble la In the foundation. There la little or no bal last on the road at some of the most Important places and yesterday eve ning there waa awasheut that took the track entirely off Ita base. It la to-day lying off to one side and the dear ' people are alttlng about half starved because It la too . muddy to get out la the country for anything to eat 4 ' The wreck laat - night did not fcmount to - very much the engine merely turtnr over when the wash out track was struck. Nobody seems to know why this road isn't repaired. It hu the reputation of being one of the best-paying of all the Southern lines. The people down here are not antl-rallroad spouters. They are not the kind to bring damage suits at the Inatance of contingent-fee lawyers. But they are sincere in their tear to travel thla road. The wrecking crewa Way are - doing all they can to clear up the track and the tralna Jl run on scheduled time. If Indeed there la a ached ule. (The Yadkin haa been very free from fatal accidents, but there la no doubt that the death of Harvey Smy er. the young fireman who waa killed two weeka ago, waa due to the condi tion of this road. It la very much traveled, haula an unlimited amount of freight, haa considerable passen rer traffic and ahould be made a route of aafety for the people. There is no doubt tnat the people are going to agitate this matter un til something la done. This patch work will not answer' much longer and something more substantial than" soft mud as a foundation will be necessary In order to make the Yadkin entirely safe. 3IRS. J. XV. MOORE DEAD.

Th Observer's correspondent to. day. went to th hall where th strik ing carpenters have their headquar ter abd talked with them about tbe strike here which began yesterday morning. They any there are 1Z members In their union, all white. and that these have been working under 14 contractors, the day's work having- been strictly ten hours. The average wagea are about It per day, a good many men getting 11.76 and some foremen as' much as 3. The union men say there are a few car penters outalda of the union, but do not know the number, though they estimate it at about a doaen. They have been employed on outside work, They do not know how. many are in the shops. They say that ln two caaea the contractors have acceded to the demands of the strikers and that to day they will go to work on the same bails on the Eaat Raleigh . public school. ' The encampment of the Third Reg iment at Chlckamauga will be for six days.

The coun cil decided to appropriate $7,600 for a proper system to connect with that of the city. It being understood that the latter will make no objection to such connection. The action thus taken is the result of the deaths of two young women, teachers In the public st-hools, who attended the re cent summer school at th college, the deaths being due to typhoid fever, and another 'young lady being still sick with the disease. The State beard of eduoation, of which the Governor is chairman, had a sort of Informal meeting to-day, at which the school book question wa talked about.
