March 14. Two spans about 10 feet of the long tres tie across Muddy creek, on the North Carolina Midland Railroad were burnd last night The damage will not be repaired so trains can pass be fore noon to-morrow.

Two Candidates In the Field For Mayor Primaries to be Held l'n fler New Act Penalty Salts Against the Southern Work Begins on Street Car Extension. Special to The Observer. Orensboro. March 14. While It Is almost two months until the munici pal election the solons in rear ends of grocery stores and on the street cor ners are beginning to discuss the good points of the candidates for th mayoralty and hand down their opin ions as to the chances that each has for securing the nomination and ties tlOn. It now looks as If Mayor Thomas J. Murphy and Alderman Leon 3. Brandt win be the only can- dldates in the Democratic primaries for the nomination of mayor, and indications are that Mayor Murphy will be nominated and re-elected. There Is a strong opposition in certain quarters to Mayor Murphy, but the opposition' Is not thought- to be sufficient to defeat him in the primary, and if he receives th nomination ot the primary wll no doubt receive the greater part of the Democratic vote In the city, and will, If this prediction come true, be elect ed by a safe majority. Of course some unexpected developments may appear later in the campaign. The city's political pot has scarecly more than begun to simmer as yet and one Cannot tell what may arise before the election on Msy 7. It Is understood that a strong citi zens' ticket, with a prominent man as candidate for mayor will Stain be in th field. . Such a ticket was put up In opposition to the nominees of the Democratic primaries two years ago, but ' did not poll a very large vote. This year the conditions are changed and the ticket may receive a larger vote, though 't U not gen erally believed that It will be large enough to overcome the big Demo cratic vote of the city. Miny Demo crats have cursed the pri'nt clly ad ministration, but when the time comes they will go to' the polls and vets for the nominees of the party. Th primaries In the city this year will be held under the act recently passed Which gives the city and coun ty a legalized primary system. This will not materially change- the systtm that has been used In the campaign In the city for a number of years, but will probably give many who have not participated heretofore nn op portunity to vote in the primary by taking an oath to support the nomi nees of the primary. James K Williamson k Sons, of Burlington, through their attorney, Col. J. A. Barrlbger, of this city, have Instituted thirty-seven penalty suit against the Southern Railway Com pkhy on account Of the failure of th company to deliver freight within th tlm prescribed by law. It Is said that the amount Involved in the suits range from seventeen cents to rltty dollars, and In seven of the cases th amount sued for IS less than one dol lar. The case will com up before Squire Collin for trial pert Satur day. Owing td th tact that there are many -witnesses to be examined th cas may consume several days in th Justice's court. v It Is learned that th Messrs. Williamson will in a few days institute suit for sixty-five other penalties against th ! company. The freight service la thl section of th country Is demoralised and th menu facturcrs art at a loss to know what courst to pursue, i ' ; Work has been' commenced on th West : Ls tret ' extension of the QfeehsbQro fclectf Id oCmp&ny's street car line, and It Is hoped to complete th track at th earliest possible time. This new Una will open up a fin resi dent section of th city and already lota ar selling 'rapidly aong th line the elsdria company track Will go. Great delay has been caused on Iso count of th inability of th tfmpftny to secur ties, poles and rails.

The work Of paving the principal residence streets of Spartanburg with bltullthic will be completed Within the next few weeks. The work has been under way for several months, the Atlantic Bl tullthic Company being the contrac tor, and only a short portion of South Church street remains to be paved. When completed Spartanburg will have the best paved streets ot any city In South Carolina. Probably mote money has been expended by the city council for street and stdewatk paving than any city of the same sise In the South. The bltullthic pav ing is being laid at a cost of $150,000. I.i addition to this sum $50,000 has been expended for paving the slde- Argo Red Salmon took the grand prise at the St. Louis Exposition, the only one ever given at any fair on Salmon. "Bring Me A Good Cigar" Recently a State Senator on a dining oar asked the waiter to bring him "a cigar. " The waiter brought two boxes one was a Triangle A cigar, and the other an unknown brand. " Which is the better ? ' asked tho 'Senator. The waiter recommended the unknown brand. ' 'Why ? " the Senator demanded. The waiter grinned. "Boss says that's the one to push," he said.
