Wadesboro, Oct. 2d. There is to be quite an important meeting here next Thursday between the corporation commission and the representatives of the two railroads here, the Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line. For some time the cltlsens of the town have been asking for a now passenger sta tion to . replace the miserable shed which has been here for about, ten years. The time of meeting was ar ranged a few weeks ago, and the en tire "Citizenship , of the town Is ex pected to turn out and show to the offi cials of .the roads and the commis- ston that they are In earnesyand real ly want a station that will to- some extent do Justice to the town and Its Increasing possibilities.

T. W. Bk kctt in Court. Special to The Observer, , J Loulsburg, Oct 20.--Tha railroads were the winners last week in ; the numerous L" damage suits tried in j Franklin Superior Court In the case of Fuller vs. . the Atlantic Coast Line lor 1150 for alleged mistreatment and neglect of a fine mare while In transit, resulting in her death from pneumonia, th? Jury decided in favor of the railroad and taxed Fuller with the . costs. Another suit , tried was Macon va Seaboard Air Line for the killing of Tom Macon, a negro. when a locomotive Jumped -the little Diun: at tn aepot overlooking Main street some time ago and burled the darky under It, The railroad offered tne plaintiff in this suit some time ago J2.J00. but' It was declined and the Jury awarded 1,417. ; - me speech of counsel for the de fendant company, Mr. f. W. Blckett, was an able one and abounded In that - fine humor and fun so charac teristic of all his talk. The burden of hla talk was to figure the damages aowa to tne lowest possible point It seems that the negro had-v 42 years more to live, according to the average expectancy of human life as iaia down in the statutes, and the question was what the negro would have been worth and what benefit he would have been to his family. Mr. Bickett was dwelling upon the general wordlessness of towtf coons and created something of a sensa tion by' singing to the Jury and in cldentally to a delightfully enter, tained crowd of spectators a coon song descriptive of what Is known as "Cathole Grub." His voice Is hard to classify, this effort being the first time this writer ever heard hlra per form, but It Is safe to say that his vocal range is somewhere between mezzo-soprano and a deen- bass. Capt W. H. Day showed symptoms of making the solo a duet but con .tented himself by simply showing his teeth a la Roosevelt. The court and audience were convulse with laugh ter, being unimpressed with : Mr. Blckett's vocal stunt The docket Is an unusually large one and court will continue in session this week.
