About the New Railroad and the
Bonds.
A speaking campaign is on this
week in behalf of the proposed new
railroad for Alamance. We hear
there iaopposition at different places
—that ia not unexpected. No en
terprise ever escapod a cold water
baptiam in a greater or loss degree.
Indeed, many new enterprises have
been drowned in cold water. Some
of our older men remember —to
moat of us >t is history, that when
the bill was before the State Legis
lature to charter and provide for
building the North Carolina Hail
road —the road from Qoldsboro to
Charlotte—tho measure carried by
just one vote. Tho lower house had
paaaed the bill and it was before the
Senate. A vote had been taken and
resulted in a tie. Calvin Graves of
Caawell county wa Speaker of the
Senate and the presiding officer and
the momentous duty of breaking the
tie fell on him. lie meaaured up to
the occasion—he was a patriot and a
progre-sive, and the result is the
North Carolina Railroad. It was
his political deittli, however, as he
knew it would be, for he was never
elected to office again, but he threw
the first shovel of dirt for the new
railroad at Greensboro in July,
1861.
Since the daya of Gravea—more
than 00 years ago, the need for more
and better transportation facilitiea
haa grown with the years, and tho
ainewa of iron and steol are being
substituted wherever possible for
the brawn and muscle of man and
beast. After 00 years, is it not
time Alamanco should take another
forward step? Population has in
creased many times over. Trans
portation has been multiplied by
more than a thousand, until the
facilities, which have been wonder
fully improved, are not equal to the
demand.
The demand ia not becanse the
old North Carolina Road under ita
lessee does not render excellent ser
vice, but the demand arises out of
the progressive apirit of the preeent
day: New enterprises are clamoring
for an existence and their birth ia
waiting lor more convenient trans
portation—transportation facilities
nearer the base of operation.
Sou# may heaitate to espouse
the building of the Greensboro, At
lantic A Northern for fear that it
would be hurtful aa a competitor of
the Southern. Well, no dcubt it
would get some of the traffic that ,
would otherwiee remain with the (
Southern; but that would be much (
leee than the new buaineea that the f
Southern would get from new en- (
terprises that would apring up in t
response to the bailding of a new
road through the great undeveloped (
territory that will be traversed by
die' Greensboro, Atlantic dc North
ern. 1
Others may heeitate because it *
would cost eomething It is true '
it will cost eomething—things that '
Cost little or nothing are not always 1
appreciated and more often than 1
otherwiee are valuable and useful in '
proportion to their cqet. Out not '
so with the proposed railroad. It ia
piopoeed to vote five percent bonds, i
For instance, Graham township pro- i
poses to vote #15,000.00 in bonde. .
On these the townehip would pay 
*the 'interest or $750.00 s year.
The taxable valuation ( of the prop
erty in Graham township is
oaksulaUon easy and plain we "will
•nppoee the amount of bonds to be
flO.OOaU) and the taxable valuation
of property to be $1,000,000.00.
On the bonds the interest would be
would be taxed 16 00,11,000 would ;
be taxed 50 cts., 1600.00 would be
taxed 26 eta., and SIOO would be
tax td one street car iare once a year,
to pay the interest.
Again, it is confidently expected
that the investment will be dividend
paying, and in that event no tax
would have to be paid. But sup
pose it should never be dividend
paying, the five miles or more in
Graham township would have to pay
taxes. It would not be valued for
taxation at lees than 120,000 —the
Southern is $67,000—0n the mile,
which would yield more in taxes
than the interest on the bonds would
amount to. Thus it appears the
proposition would be a safe one,
without counting any dividens and
other benefits that would accrue fri m
shipping facilities and the building
of new enterprises.
And again, as heretofore stated,
upon the agreement made between
the Directors of the road and the
Trust Co. that will hold the bonds,
the bonds are not to be delivered
until the road is built and trains
running. That must be done in
three years or the road forfeits the
1 right to receive the bonds. So there
is no chance or risk on that score.
It is not expected to collect enough
money to pay off the bonds—only
enough to pay the interest, but if
business enterprises insrease at the
same pace as they have in the past
25 years, the taxes from that source
alone will pay off the bonds, though
the bonds are to run for 50 years.
The proposition, from every view
point, it seems, is one that the peo
ple cannot afford to turn down.

SIMMONS A REAL LEADER OF
SENATE.
Berth Carolinian tbe For rel a 1 Power
Directing LeftalaUoa.—The
Man ef The Hear.
' BY H. E. C. BBYANT.
Washington, Aug. 26.—Durinp
tbe present session of Congrest.
Senator Simmons has been ap
pointed conferree on more bills
than any other Senator. He was
minority conferree on the river
and harbor bill, the wool, the
metal, the excise and tho sugar
tariff bills, the Panama bill, and,
if tho cotton bill had gone to con
: ference, he would have represent
ed the minority on that confer
ence also.
The bills mentioned here are
i seven of tho most important bills
that passed Congress at this ses
sion.
The position ot conferree is one
of great importance. Tako the
river and harbor bill, for instance,
the two houses disagreed on more
than 150 amendments, which went
to conference for adjustment. The
three conferrees representing each
House had power to retain or re
ject all amendments, or to retain
them with amendments of their
own.
It often happens in the exercise
of their larjje power that the con
ferrees almost rewrite the bill,
and the two houses vote to agree
or disagree to their report. This
is just what happened in the conr
ference on the oanal bill. The
conferrees on the part of the House
were two Democrats and one Re
publican and on the part of the
Senate two Republicans and oue
Democrat. Senators Brandegee,
regular IlepuMioan, Bristow, in
surgent Republican, and Sim
mons, Democrat, were the Senate
conferrees.
He Hsved Panama Bill.
Senators Simmons and Briatow
were both in favor of exempting
our coastwise vessels from tolls
1 and admitting ship buiidiug free
1 of duty and prohibiting railroad
1 control and ownership of com
• peting water carriers through the
I canal or elsewhere. So they got
1 together and united with the two
• House Democrats and rewrote the
bill in these important respects
and put all water carriers under
r the control of the Interstate Com
• merce Commission in a way to
. make monoply of water trans
portation impossible. '
' This was a stunning blow to the
9 railroads and their plans and they
raised a great howl, which, some
believe, waa heard at the White
1 House. The four conferrees, three
Democrats and one Republican,
stood firm and put their report
' through both the House and
' Senate, the Senate adopting it
' over the protest of the Chairman,
' Senator Brandegee, by a vote of
' 48 to 18. Senator Bristow rallied
' the Insurgents of tho Senate for
' the report and Souator Simmons
| rallied the Democrats, do that on
this great measure there was
brought about through Senators
t Simmons and Bristow the Batne
i alliance and co-operation between
I the Democrats and insurgents as
existed between them on the tariff
. measures.
Directs All legislation.
The power of the Conference
, Committee is very great—it fre
quently happens that the real
legislation is framed in the con
ferenoe room as was done in the
MM of the oanal bill.
DiMussing the Panama bill with
me the other day Senator Bristow
Mid: "The bill, as reported from
our conference committee, I think,
Is the most important piece of
legislation passed by Congress
this session. The conference bill
is a great improvement over either
the House or the Senate measure. ]
I am very much gratified at the
part Senator Simmons took in get- 1
ting in the bill provisions that '
mean m much to the people of the
United StatM. Tbe North Caro- 1
Una Senator, who knows how and
when to fight, stood with me faith
fully, making poMlble the great
victory won."
G reelect la Recent Hlsterr.
Discussing this legislation Sena
tor Simmons MHL : "I regard the
pro visions of the conference re
port which makes railroad control
of water transportation impos
sible as the DKMt valuable piece
of legislation passed In the last
quarter of a century. If the
Panama bill, M It left the con
ference, becomes • law, unleM the
President vetoee it, our water
ways will become of great value,
both in reducing water rates and
regulating railroad ratee. The
opportunity which eame to me M
a eonferree to aocomplish this
great result I regard as one of the
greatest in my life."

Major Stedman Recognizes an Old

Washington Dispatch, Itlb, to Greensboro
Mew*.
la addition to being one of the
most courteous men in Congress
Major Charles M. Stedman, of
Greensboro, probably possesses
the best faculty for remembering
friends. This was demonstrated
today when Mr. Stedman recog
nized at a glance Reuben T. Kolb,
of Montgomery, Ala., whom he
had not seen since they were at
college at the University of
North Carolina over' fifty years
ago.
Major Stedman was sitting in
his office this morning when Mr.
Kolb passed by the open door.
"Why bless my sonl, Reuben,
where in the world did you come
from?" said the major.
"Why, hello Charlie! But how
in the world did you recognize
me? When you saw me at Chapel
Hill in 1859 I was a mere boy and
weighed less than 120 pounds. 1
never would have thought you
would recognize me again."
Majpr Stedman told Mr. Kolb
that he never failed to recognize
old friends. He said he and Mr.
Kolb roomed together at Chapel
Hill and they have never met
since the commencement in 1859.
