XXTI aOLBSBORO, 1ST. C., THTJBSDAY, JANUARY HI, 1909. NO.75 THE SOUWS FUTURE. Present Developments and Prospective Projects Promise Great Things For All Our Section. Review of Some Striking Articles From Conversant Writers Published In the Recent Big Issue of the Balti more Manufactur ers' Record. One can hardly fail to realize the vast enhancement which has occurred of the wealth of the Southern States within the past ten years or so who shall read, as every one should, a series of articles printed in the Manu facturers' Record under date of Jan uary 7, 1909. Three of these articles, which are signed by men whose words usually carry great weight are especially inter esting to Southerners. The first of ese is by J. T. Odell and is entitled "Problems Fronting Railroads in South Atlantic States." The writer whose paper we consider th3 most lucid and altogether convinc ing upon such subjects we,J have ever read, is tbat railway expert who re cently examined the Norfolk & South ern Railway properties with a view to reporting to those interested in them. Incidentally, his paper appears to in dicate that he also examined carefully the Seaboard Air Line. It seems to us that the person Iwho shall read his pre sentment must realize bow unwise the people of v this gsection should prove themselves to be should they not do all within their power to encourage the investor in railways and to further discourage those here, who are inclin ed to be hostile to them. Mr. Odell says that the roads in the South should be encouraged ' to lower their grades, double their Jtracks and make bettermentsjjyrequiring the ex penditures within thenext ten years of from one billion to two billions of dollars, and he shows usi clearly that unless we shall do this we shall cause the South to lag behind other sections instead ct forgingiahead as we should without great natural advantages. Another paper isjjby W. J. Meany, o Hew York, an expert statistican and historian. Mr. Meany n among other matters treats of the construction of the Virginia Railway, the Carolina! Clinchfield and Ohio Railway and the Florida East Coast! Railway. He says that these works rank with the highest achievements in American ii Railroad engineering and gconstruction and shows how they may! beJ2exPecte to increase our wealth. s The other ipaperS is3 by Charles K. Hellier, or Boston, president of the Big Sandy Company which owns 130,000 acres of coal lands in Eastern Ken tucky. He alsoSwritesgin a highly in forming and interestingfimanner ol the "Virginian and Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railways, saying that the lor mer, which will evidentlyftbe a great trunk line to the West, must further develop Norfolk as a portgiof domestic and foreign commerce. . The writer says that the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio, through junction with the Chesapeake and Ohio at Elk horn, Ky., will be a great short line from the Middle West loathe sea at Charleston and Wilmington; that t will be the best passenger route to Cuba from the West and points out how it shall be able to deliver coal inithe man ufacturing sections of the Carolinas and thereabouts - at extremely low prices, ju6t as the Virginian shall de liver it at Norfolk. , THESBILL ALL EIGHT Senator Barham Explain In Bstail The Purpose ot The PeaiUog Bill iefirrsi Ti. Editor Akous: I note in your paper of date January 13, 1909, that your correspondent from Walter has the following articles Via: "The bills introduced to raise sal aries of State offioers and register fees for recording mortgages in Wayne county, is meeting with disapproval here. The people think it an inoppo tune time to inerease expenses In the face of an exceedingly short crop, and the prevailing stringency in financial matters." I cannot speak as to "bills" as I know oi only one that has been introduced, but as to the bilLintroduoed by me in the Senate at the request of our efficient Register of Deeds, if yon will permit me space in your valued naner. I desire herewith to give you a copy of the bill introduced by me, and to explain the effect of the bill, which I take was unknown tfo your Walter correspondent. The bill is as follows: An act to amend section two thou sand seven hundred and seventy six of the Revisal of nineteen hundred and Ave, relative to Fees for registering short-form mortgages, and to re-enact Chapter Seventeen of the pupblic laws of North Carolina, Session eighteen hundred and ninety -nine, in so far as it effeoted Wayne county. The General Assembly of North Car olina Do Enact: Section 1. That section two thou sand seven hundred and seventy-six of the Revisal of Nineteen hundred and five be amended by adding in line fourteen after the word "Union" the word "Wayne," and by striking out in line twenty three of said section the word "Wayne." Section 2. That chapter seventeen of the Public Laws of North Carolina, session eighteen hundred and ninety nine, be and the same , is hereby re enacted in so far as it effected Wayne county. Section 3. That this act shall be en forced from and after its ratification. This bill if enacted into a law will not increase the fees of the Register of Deeds, but as a matter of fact will re duce them. The bill applies ceily to short-form agricultural lienes and chattel mort gages combined. The fees allowed the Register of Deeds and Clerk ot Court under the exciting law for the two forms in general use in our county is thirty cents to the Register of Deeds and ten cent to the Clerk of Court for one form and eighty cents to the Reg ister of Deeds and twenty five cents to the Clerk of the Court for the other form. The bill introduced by me provides that the fees on the particular forms o " mortgages shall be thirty cents to the Register of Deeds and ten cents to the Clerk of the Court for the one form, and fifty cents to the Register of Deeds and ten cents to the Clerk of the Oeart for the other form. I will say further, that I am advised that the form of agricultural lien and -chattel mort gage combined used by nine-tenths of our people is the form which under tke present taw tne Aegister oi . ueeas could charge eighty cents aund Clerk of the Court twenty-five cents; but this form was not brought forward in the Revisal and the purpose ot the bill to :e enact Chapter Seventeen of the Public Laws of 1899, which embodlos the form u-sed by the great majority of our peo ple and provides that fe-s on same be thirty cents for the Register ot Deeds and ten cents to the Clerk of the Clerk. Respeotfully, J. LANGHORN BARHAM. MR H. B SHORT COMMITS SUICIDE. Well Known Citizen of Wilmington . Takes His Life. v '. " ' i -. V--''' x ' Mr. H. B.

Raleigh News and Observer. There passed away at his home in this eity yesterday morning after a brief illness. Col. Thomas Munroe Argo, in the sixty-eigth year of his age. For a year his health had not been good, but he kept at his profes sional work and it was only as late as December twenty-six that he was con-' fined to his bed. Kidney troubles with other complications caused his death. Col. Argo was one of the best known attorneys of the State. He was a brilliant and eloquent lawyer, and in a decade there has be no attorney in Raleigh who was stronger than he before a jury. Versed in the knowl edge of the law and active in its prac tice his ability was recognized, and especially so in the conduct of cases on the criminal side of the docket. Born in Alabama, his education com pleted at the State University, .his law license obtained after studying under the late William A. Battle, he located in Raleigh in 1872, where he has since remained, pursuing the practice of his proiession, tor six years being the Solicitor of his district. He is surviv ed by his wife and four children, one the Rev. Fordyee Hubbard Argo, rec tor of the Episcopal church at Lock ledge, Pa., who was here at his father's death, and three young children. The news ot Col. Argo's death will be heard with deep regret by his many friends. The funeral services will be held on Sunday afternoon at 3:30 from the Church of the Good Shepherd, of which lie was a devout member. AN UNUSUALLY PECULIAR CASE Much Doubt As To Who Owns Acme Fuel And.Wood Co., Which .Was Pur chased By Thos. T. Canler. A very unusually peculiar case has been brought to light since Thos. T. Canler, formerly secretary and treas urer of the Selma Cotton Mill, left for parts nnknown. Sometime ago Mr. Canler bought the Acme fuel and wood yard here, givin a mortg'ige fori deferred payment to Mr. D. E. Edgerton. This mortgage was afterwards transferred to Mr Hugli Maxwell. To add to the many complications Capt. Jack Collier had stored about 20 cords of wood in the yard, before Canler disappeared. Mr, Edgerton also owned some office fix tures. These facts were brought out at a hearing before Capt. D. J. Broad nurst, wnen manager wells was con tinued in charge of the affairs of the concern, specifying that all wood and coal should be sold for cash and the money turned over to the officers. Mr. Edgerton has had served a writ o attachment, and unless Mr. Canler re appears here, the yard will likely be sold under the mortgage held by Mr. Maxwell. It is one of the most com plicated affairs ever csade public in this- section. , T""" " mil BiTTiTSBPMtfirnBSfiiiMBoassBrjirj For that I Dandruff (MMSWSaWMBMMll 1 There is one thng that will cure it Ayer's Hair Vigor.
