' A bulletin of 4he Inter-State com merce commission for the year ending June 30Ui shows that our railroads more than kept up their bloqdy work. The killed numher o.uou, an increase Of 775 over last year, and the In jured 76,288, an Increase of 9,577. With all due allowance for the con ditions presented by hat very large proportion of our railway mileage where traffic will not Justify the beat either In road bed or equipment, the totals of killed and Injured rise vast ly too hich. Such is the reputation tor danger of American railroads that the foreign spinners who recently If they were taking their lives In their hands, and a utory of the Eng lish delegation's arrival at Liverpool shows them experiencing relief al most like men returned from the dead. The bulletin refers to the ex traordinary number of derailments, due tn many cases to broken rails. This circumstance should teach a reason uoin mj we raunraus nu me steel manufacturers to the' railroads because, if te steel men can bo be lieved, they are primarily responsible In that they Insist upon o high a proportion of carbon as will give the Tails a wear-resisting hardness and consequent brittleness at the expense of t toughness and consequent safety. We. fear, however, that it is really reckfesMiesa In operating trains which must be held chiefly responsi ble for the country's huge railroad laughter. This J a people noted for seldom having time to do things thoroughly and for willingness to take all sorts of chances; moreover, It is a people which holds human life very cheap. Thousand are carelessly klll ed on the railroads just as thousands are wilfully killed with pistols. In so far as our railroad slaughter is thus a matter of national temperament It will be very slow In mending, but we hope for a somewhat better record In succeeding years. There is certainly Bo lack of room for Improvement. The Greensboro Record has Jtuit installed a latest-mndel Duplex per fecting ipress capable of turning over six thouwand complete news papers an hour. "A few years ago," ays The Record In making this an nouncement, "the dally newspaper toosiness was an uncertain experiment In Greensboro, but the marvelous growth of the city. In which The Rec ord hopes It has been a factor, has male It a necennlty and brought to It ft patronage .that justifies it In the ex penditure for one piece nf machinery alone more than the price of one .if the average fitate newnpaper plants a few year ago." Such evidence that newspaper of high type has met with great prosperity should be grati fying to every one; our well-grounded esteem for The Record and Editor Jleeee renders It very gratifying In deed to us.

A. R. quarters. While Captain DeRossett makes it clear that the In formation came to him Indirectly and so cannot be personally Touched for by him, he deems his Informant well worthy of belief. , Lest any one should rashly suppose such action ' by the three distinguished warriors more than Improbable we hasten to state that both Thomas and Farragut were Southern men, while Grant, though a native Ohloan, was living In Missouri when hostilities began. Moreover, Grant had quit the United States army under rather obscure circum stances and may not have been any too well disposed toward It . Thomas and Farragut were both In the posl tlon of Bouthern-born United States officers when their States, Virginia and Tennessee, approached the seces sion point, and It is at least probable that they hesitated for a time wheth er they should remain or follow the great majority of officers similarly clreumntanced Into the Confederate service. Col. Robert E. le, as ia well known, resigned, hla United ' States commission to go with hla State, al though the chief command of the Union forces had been deflnltely of fered him. So there Is nothing In trinsically Improbable Jn the state ment with regard to the men who be came distinguished as Goneral Thom- laa and Admiral Farragut. while the iciaim as to uenerai uram is nox altogether preposterous. We may further say that Oeneral Thomas in all likelihood did Indeed make appli cation to the Confederate authorities; for evidence of such action on his part was cited jpng ago and Rev. Dr. J. William Jones, now living in Rich mond, has accumulated data which he deems absolutely conclusive. Con cerning Admiral Farragut te matter must await proof. We find ourselves quite unable to believe the story so far as it concerns General Grant, If, as supposed, the whole controversy is susceptible of settlement by refer ence to certain sealed letters now In the Louisiana Historical Society's ar chives we hope that the letters will soon be forthcoming. OXE WAY TO CHECK HOMICIDE. The action of the Kentucky ciyil courts In awarding the widow of At torney Marcum an $8,000 judgment for her husband's death against Judge James Hurgls, the notorious feudist chief, and one Callahan, his hireling, merits thoughtful congideration. Har gi has already paid, a large Install ment' en. the Judgment, and the,; re mainder Is fully secured. A man who enjoys and has long exercised the privilege; of murdering whom he pleases with Impunity so far as the criminal law is concerned finds the civil law quite another matter. Thua murder which cannot be punished by hanging or Imprisonment can at least be made expensive. Why shouldn't it become customary not only in Ken tucky but some other States for a murdered man's widow or next of kin to bring suit against the murderer where the latter's flaanclal statu war rants such action? In this manner the well-founded complaint that slay ers possessed of money enjoy more assured and more nearly Invariable Immunity thati those less prepared for fending off annoyance could be laid partly to rest Those least liable to the criminal law would be the very on moBt liable to the civil law, for when murderers figure In the rolo of well-to-do damage suit defendants elr strength become. weakness. It l certainly desirable that a gnod portjOf the slayer's total expenditure Nhmild go to needy widow and or phans even though, where special clr rumstances exist, he may decide that prudence calls for such heavy outlays as a Jury canvass of the trial county, with a formidable array of Imported counsel to make assurance doubly sure. True, there would be manv people found refusing to seek or ac cept blood money even under pres. sure or dire need moat of the world has gone for xlnee those primitive times when folk law decreed that a rtoyer mlsht compound with his vic tim's relatives for their natural right of revenge but all such people need only turn the amount, once collected, over to a charitable Institution. The main idea Is to provide a punishment applicable In at lea.st some murder ease; a goo,! thing as far as It goes. Suits by murdered men's estates against murderers are all right and we should' be glad to, see more of them Instituted. In ordering the legend "In God We Trust" omitted . from the , new gold Coins President Roosevelt committed an art of meadlesimeness almost equal to his simple-spelling perform ance. It is quite true, as ho declares In his public explanation, that this beautiful and solemn motto becomes a subject for jeat by reason of its Inscription on coins and quite true that rnost people who combine rever ential feeling with good taate will agree with hi view, but w aubmtt that he took a good fleal upon himself when he decided a matter like thli all alone ,and offhand.

Poor fellow, forced to confess months ago that he was "looking t the Iron door," ho did not deny the sweet ness of knowing that the State had learned to love and value him. . Hla life, an open book no page of which can be. closed from the Scotch with whom he- wa reared. At hla funeral, preachers spoke of his gen tle heart, keen eyea, snd strong hands.

Spring Hill school and the quiet stretches of countryside around are bereft of their own product, the every poem ne wrote seemed to con tain In Itself a confession of. Spring Hill as fostermother. McNeill could n't have helped: it If he- had tried. He- might have gone to Boston and tried to forget his home and ha would never nave become anything except the Scotch sand-hill poet he was. But he did not want to iorget. He knew the influences and scenes that made him, and even hla other friends admitted that these were always fore most In his thoughts. But who cares about Charley as a verse-writer who knew him as a com rade? We have read his "October" to grow thoughtful: his "Ask Me Not" to feel the leaping of youth's blood j his "Rejected Scotsman - to laugh, or his lines 'To sleep" to feel sympathetic. Some day we hope to have ail his works bound 'together so that we may get a more systejjitic idea of his genius. But any time we will put aside such a book ao laugh with a friend about the cold day when John Charles was speaking to a jury and his thundering remark when an avalanche of melting ice slid from the roof of the temple of Justice. "Listen at me, gentlemen; I'm shakin the house down." Or about his opening sentences when he announced himself a candidate 'for the lower house of the General As sembly, at a meeting In , the court house here, "They tell me I am too young to represent you la the Legis lature. Don't say that about me re member what the Bible says, 'Deal (tentlv With th vnnnr miMi, o-antlv " Or think again of his enthusiasm when he sat before the Hotel Morgan a few nights before his death and de scribed a fodder-pulling scene he had Just witnessed at his father's home that day. Those who read his poems are fortunate, but to his intimate friends his verses were but smalt stones girt around the larger Jewel of his personality. i 1 " Yet those who have read will all agree that Scotland county's poet pre sents the largest figure in the tale of North Carolina literature.' And he. Just when he was bursting into full flower, must die. Now, and then some oue arises to say that the ma jority of the world's leading men have died young, on the Idea of the keenest blade cutting soonest through the scabbard. I think the Idea wrong as a general proposition, though death often finds weak spots in the armor of bright young men. Two many geniuses have lived to old age to allow an Idea to stand that, it Is not wholesome to be smart. ' But whether 'twas Fate's applica tion of a rule that caused it or not, how sad his death was! Country scenes and sincere hearts have lost their loved Interpreter; thousands of people, high and low, from children to old folks, feel the heart-sickness of friendship, and the Old North State mourns that Death has stricken one of the few of her sons that have set themselves to the tusk of remov ing the reproach for her lack of let ters. It came Just when his full strength was descending on him. One of the prettiest little bits of verse that a North Carolinian has written, I give in full below aa apropriate. It was written by a woman, was printed at the time of the death of Avery, and is eoually befitting the death of the Scotchman: "What, here so soort j r. am1 vtln-VitY Why, I have work to do that needs the noon 4..f 1.t''a hvftA llo-hf See!

The relatives and friends of John Charles McNeill are necessarily elated at the many expressions, from so many sources, that show the lofty es teem in which this bright young man was held pot only In one section of his State, but over the whole stste and beyond Its borders. With his rel atives and friends we rejoice at. the many expressions of appreciation of the efforts of poor Charlie, and , the sad loss, his untimely death Is to hM community, his State and his South land. ;,We shall never see his ltke again.

Leonard, who was involved in the suit, and which announcement went Just far enough into details to raise false Impression as to the Frlx Company, and, knowing the fairness of the press, we ask spacet to give actual lietulls as they appeared in the trial, which are as follows: On April 33d, VM, tne Frlx Company, through one of :ts agents (MK J. S. leonard), sold to Rev. T. K. Weaver, of Stony Point, aa organ, Mr. Leonard conducts a music sUr In Statwille, snd , at that time the Frix Company furnished him organs on consignment at a certain wholesale price. This partic ular sale was turned in to the FrlX Company on the same day that it was made und the Frix Company's books show that Mr. Leonard ? was credited with fto in notes ar.d $5 in cssh on this sale., Mr. Leonard's books also show that he .had charged the Frlx Company with 6Qf in notes the Weaver notes).

Nor do the, people believe Mr. Leonard, would have done so. with Intentional wrong; and the natural conclusion is that the note was changed at the time It was drawn in order to bring it up to the price agreed upon, and then afterwards forgotten. f In connection with the case, It should also be borne in mind that the officers in the Frht Comnftay are also stockholders in thrt Mil' Debt Collecting Agency, and thatf tseiman wqo swore cut the warrant Is a brother of t a man who has been made to '"come across" with an old ac count that'hs had been able to evade to' some time 1 and, seeing the condition of the note, . took this opportunity to .at tempt to damage Innocent parties, but the case was so flimsy hat (he Frlx Com pany stands higher In the estimation of our people to-day than ever. . In order that the reader may further come to a more-intelligent understanding of the matter, it may be sold that Rev. T. B. Weaver at me time wrote the Frlx Company that he was to pay 65 for the organ with no intorest. If his state ment In that letter was correct, there should or would have never been any contention as to teh matter.
