that, tho officials of the Seaboard Air
Line were considering the advisability
of extending their line from Pittsboro,
Chatham county, to this place, and it

begun surveying the proposed road.
It is proposed to run the line up Haw
river from Pittsboro to Haw River sta

Graham, Burlington and Gibsonville
to Greensboro.. The new road will be
between sixty and seventy-five miles
in length and will touch most of the

G. H.'Priddy, one of United States
Marshal MilHken'g deputies, was at
tempting to arrest a man at Madison
one day last week when he thought it
necessary to use his revblvetto prevent
the escape of the fleeing blockader.
One or two shots fired Into the air had
the desired effect and the offender
promptly surrendered, but the deputy's
troubles had just begun. He had
hardly taken possession of his prisoner
wnen ne was arrested and tried before
the mayor of Madison for firing at the
man. He was adjudged guilty by the
mayor, who bound him over to court,
while the other man went free. It is a
question whether any one has the
right to interfere with one of Uncle
Sam's officials and the matter will be
tested at court. Judge S.B. Adams
has been retained to defend the deputy,
and an eff jrt will be made to have the
case removed from the Superior to the
Federal court.
The Opinion of a Well KnoTm Gen
tleman in Regard to the Good
- Work of Keeley Institute.
Editor Greensboro Patriot: '
Since many people throughout the
country labor under false and Injuri
ous impressions in regard to the Keeley
Treatment, I wish to give you as plain
ly, succinctly and truthfully, as I can,
my opinions, after having lived for the
eight years just passed within a few
hundred yards of a Keeley Institute.
I live to-day and for some time past
have lived upon an adjoining lot.
Thia institution began its work here
under unfavorable auspices. Interest
ed or, at least, unjustly prejudiced
parties created in the minds of the
publio very unfavorable impressions
as to the motive of its managers and as
to the effectiveness of its work accom
plished. Independently of these I
myself regarded It as a shrewd and un
principled yankee scheme of extorting,
for nothing, money from the sorrows
and misfortunes and ignorance of the
people. I gave it absolutely no at
tention, until its successful and most
benignant results forced it upon my
notice. A friend, acquaintance of
miDe, who for twenty years had been
an acceptable and efficient employe
began with increased frequency to
change his place of business and em
ployment. Soon quiet drinking at
night gave him the delirium tremens
to the astonishment of ail. certainly to
my astonishment. Seven years and
seven months ago he took the Keeley
treatment ; has steadily and accepta
bly held one position ever since, and
says that during this time he has not
taken, nor had the appetite or craving I
to take any form of stimulant what
ever. ."
Another acquaintance, unfortunate
ly for his fame, proclaimed abroad his
periodical and occasional drunks with
lamentable publicity Seven years
and four months ago he also took the
treatment, and says that be has since
neither taken nor desired to take a
drop of any stimulant. His statement
his conduct coroborates to the , entire
satisfaction of this community, who
would otherwise have frequently wit
nessed his dldos. ' t' " j
I have never been an inmate of any;
Keeley or kindred institution, but
cases c like the above ! coming within
my personal observation, and many
more coming to my knowledge through
information from entirely truth wort by
sources, have caused me for some years
past frequently to have stood within
its walls an interested and sympa
thetic looker-on. . ,
In my opinion the Keeley is an en
terprise humane and beneficent in its
scope and purposes, and very largely;
effective in its work. The Greensboro,
North; Carolina, Keeley, owned' and
run by Col. W. H. Osborn and other
North Carolinians to the manor born
is, to my knowledge, a noble institu
tion, admirably appointed and con
ducted. It restores freedom to such'
slaves of liquor and drugs as desire free
dom and are worthy of it.. It. restores
to health the distressingly emotional
and nervously prostrated. It does
this in a short and fixed time and at a
fixed and reasonable charge. . y
A first-class and skilled matron to
supervise the kitchen and dining room,
and first-class white men, of feeling,
sense and character, as nurses and at
tendants, are absolutely necessary in
this business such are employed and
paid here. Of course an excellent
physician, especially trained, too, at
Dwight for this i especial service gives
his individual attention to the in
mates, and, if necessary, the best medi
cal skill that Dr. Keeley's intelligence,
enterprise ana money can secure, are
here consulted free of cost to the
patient. . . - f
It costs money to run this estab
lishment indomitable labor, patience.
and a world of the milk of human
kindness and sympathy. If the pur
pose were solely to make money, and
if Col. Osborn would run up his charges
from $132 to $500 his receipts would in
a short time be the same as now : he
vould lop-off two-thirds of his labor
and expense, and he would get' rid of
that class of patients, who, by their
falls, advertise the treatment unjustly
and injuriously beyond any and all
other agencies combined. I hone.
however, this will never be done. Give
them all a chance, for sensible men
know and will remember, that one
drunken man can and often does ad
vertise his fall more idely in one
hour, than 100 cured, men, quietly at
work, advertise their cures in ten
yean. ..(!
Drunkenness is not only a fearful
evil, but is also, as all know, a fearful
ly deep-seated evil. If the Keeley can
not relieve, so far as I know and be
lieve, the victim's chance is a bad one.
Now, Messrs. editors, I write this
without the solicitation, or even the
knowledge of anybody. I am wholly
without interest in this matter, ex
cept as any humane man, possessed of
the facts, ought to be and doubtless if
or would be. I write it to induce the
friends cf those in need' of the treat
ment to give J hem this chance, and
also to buoy and aid Col. Osborn
financially and otherwise in his benefi
cent and herculean labors. ... '
I am, yours very truly,

next month Naval Constructor
Bowles, of the Brooklyn Nayy Yard,
will give, trial to an apparatus
for coaling Vessels ".at sea, which it
Is asserted overcomes all previous
obstacles in this direction. For
this purpose the, collier Marcellus
will be sent to the navy yard from
Norfolk; The owners of the new
device will equip the Marcellus
with it at their own expense. "
At present, except in very calm
weather, it is necessary to take
warships to some port to supply
ply them with fuel. The new ap
paratus is to be used in the open
sea. The ship to- be coaled and
the collier with the fuel will not
approach each other closer than
about 600 feet. The two vessels
are to be connected' by means of
steel cables, on which run the coal
transmitting buckets. The slack
of the cables occasioned by the
movement of the vessels in a sea
way is provided for by 'engines
which constitute part of j the new
coaling apparatus. j
H. M. Kellam.
Mr. H. M. Kellam, who went from
this place to Nebraska something
over a year ago, died there on June
24th, aged twenty-three years, five
months and twenty-five days.
From letters received from parties
who were with him at his death it
was learned that he was conscious
to j the last and was willing to die.
From which these lines are com
posed: I'm dying far away from home,
Out in the rugged West, j
But I have made my peace with God,
; And soon will be at rest. ;
No mother's fond caress I feel,
No father's voice I hear, .
But Christ the sympathizing friend
Dispels each gloomy fear.
Farewell to all I leave at home v .
We'll meet to part no more,
For Death's pale horse will never reach
That bright celestial shore.
Let none who love me shed one tear;
Though far from home I die,
I only leave a world of care I
To dwell with Christ on high;
