A The Construction of New Road to Commence as Soon as Right-of-Way is Granted. A PUZZLER. anes. - At a called meeting: of the Cham ber of Commerce last Friday after noon Mr. Geo. Ji. Barton, general manager of the Suffolk & Carolina rail road appeared and assured the Chamber that the work of con structing the Elizabeth City and Western Rail Road would begin just as soon as the deed to right- of-way through this city be given them free of charge, v The project to extend the Suf f old and Carolina road to this city is purely original with Hon. T. G. Skinner, he having presented the scheme to the S. & C.'Ry. author ities over twp years ago. Mr. Skinner assured them that the people of this city wanted' the road and would grant terminus site and right-of-way, through the city, free of charge. The Suffolk and Carolina people considered the matter and after making every calculation decided that they would build the Elizabeth City Western B. R. as soon as deeds to terminus and right of way had been placed in their hands. The terminus site has been pur chased by Mr. Skinner and the only thing now necessary for the town to do is the procurement of right of way from corporate limits to the terminus on the water front This subject of procuring right of way hasN been agitated by the Chamber of Commerce several weeks, yet but little of importance has been accomplished. A number property holders through whose property ,the new road would pass have been consulted and in most cases they have offered: to either sell at a nominal figure or deed it, free ef charge, to the company. Afr the meeting' Friday afternoon manager Barton stated that every day the town lost in obtaining the promised right of way would be just that much delay in the con struction of the road. Mr. Barton concluded by saying that the Suf folk & Carolina were only delaying construction until the deeds had been given them for the right of way to their terminus. WHAT. GAUGE ? Mr. Barton was asked if the road would be of standard dr narrow gauge. He replied that they would build a narrow gauge to start with but that the rails and ties would be the same as used in construction of a standard gauge. "By doing this" said he, "we can easily make the road o standard gauge as soon as 'the occasion arises that will de-1 mand the change." '. , S i i '.. y B AETOS INTERVIEWED. Learning that Mr. Barton's stay m this city was limited a 'repre sentative of ? the Tab Heel made haste to gain an interview. Mr. Bartonsaid that there was but litr tie' inf ormation i;fyatv"1ieyuld us as we This Fellow Staggers Us. as-Ciin Any One Answer Him? f Ms. Editok: I am tol( that this earth was : once a part of the sun. That the sun in its rapid revolutions had thrown off this body known as the earth. I also Understand that at this time the earth was a mass of,. white hot matter andtbat in the last few thousand years it had cooled sufficient to admit of habi tation. Thev say that only the surface of the earth is as yet cool ed and that this cooling process is going on still. Now if the earth and sun are of the same material is it not possible and probable. that the sun will undergo the same changes of the earth? In othr words won't the crust of the sun cool off and refuse' to emit light. This sounds plausible to me and I take this opportunity of asking for your opinion on - the subject. U. C. Wise. If Mr. Wise is correct in his con clusions it looks that a coming generation may live in a world of darkness. Well it is all right with us anyway. "We can't live forever and just so old Sol holds out while we are living it is all 0. K. -with us. If we fail to get a marble shaft the future generations will hardly notice the difference in the dark and-we cet consolation from this fact alone. Mr. Wise; we are not up on science and therefore will leave the answer to some of our contempor MAY BE TRI-WEEKLY BOAT. ly, industry in Pare county is that of fishing. As these people have no market at home they must find markets elsewhere. Now the stea mers Neuse and Ocracoke touch at Roanoke Island daily ; but aside J " ...... . ' . . W ; from this there is no other commu nication with the outside world save by sailing vessels. . This, practically, cuts off that section of Dare, from Roanoke Island to Cape Hatteras from the outside markets The paying fish industry has no means of development whatever because of the lack of transporta tion sailing craft being very uiu- certain, , By the acquisition of a steam boat line between Skyco and Hat teras the people of this section of Dare would have ready access to the markets, of the world. The fishing industry would receive more attention and eventually de velop into a source i of immense wealth to that entire section. Again in a sparsely settled section like the above a daily mail is not posi tively necessary ? especially when the acquisition of such would les sen the chances of acquiring the much needed improvement in means of . freight and passenger transportation. The question whether or not the freight and passenger, traffic alone would pay is one of much uncer tainty. At any rate it appears to us that these people would even tually get the contract for the rea son that the small steam launch cannot safely make its trips when the weather is in the least unfair. had - already , - prettv thoroughly covered the ground.' "Mr- Barton; as we 'understand it,- the right of way and terminus is, but a small item in the construct ion.of a railroad. This being so, is it hot possible that your people, realizing the rapid industrial de velopment of this city and the popular demand for a new railway, will eventually build the road even should the people of this city not provide them freV right of way as promised?" - , In reply to this question Mr. Batonsaidi :' "Our people have not considered tke matter in any light other than that the people of this city had voluntarily offered to con- tribute the right of way and ter minus if they, . the Suffolk & Car olina people, would bring their road here- vFor-this reason, said he 1 am not prepared to give you any assurance, along these lines, whatever."" - - 0. 0. S. S., Wants Mail Contract Rumpus Raised Over the Contrnct Recently Awarded. For vears the mail service in Dare county between Roanoke Island and Hatteras has been very inefficent. In other works to use the language of Sam Jones or Geo. Ade, it is strictly on the bog, About two years' aero the Old Do- minion Steam Ship Company and The Norfolk & Southern R. R. Co., made a survey of that part of the county and promised to put on a tri-weekly boat between Skyco and Hatteras if the people of Dare would use their influence in ob taining the mail contract for said boat. The boat to be put on was to be of sufficient tcnage to carry both freight and passengerr aside from the mail. Dare promised to use its influence in the procurement of the contract for the steamboat line but here the matter dropped. The O. D. S. S. Co., did not work fast enough to suit the people of Dare County and becoming tired of waiting from ono to two weeks for' the sailboats bringing their mail they registered a kick. The Tar Heel took up the mat ter and through Congressman Small the lack of mail facilities was brought to the attention of of the post office department with the result that Ass't. Supt. W. S. McGinnis, was .ordered to investi gate and make any changes that wouia Detterj itne i existing t con ditions. Mr. v McGinnis, after spending .there a warded the mail contract - to" Williams of Hatteras. Under the contract Messrs Williams were to put on two- small, steam launches to carry the mail to and from Sky co and Hatteras daily. Right here is where trouble aris es. The Old Dominion people, upon learning that such a contract had been awarded, immediately took steps to remind Dare of her promise, and a petition was circu lated asking that the ' contract be given 'the steamboat' line. The , Old Dominion people set forth their claims in a manner that should deserve favorable consider ation.' They argue that a tri-weekly boat carrying freight, mail and passengers is preferable to a feaily mail conveyed by small craft of a capacity insufficient to carry else. They gave good reasons why they should be, the sum" and substance of which we explain below. ' The pridcipal, or'in" truth the 6n- WATCHMAN! WHAT OF THE NIGHT? The Tar HeeJ Philosopher on Political .

The Egyptians of old wor shipped.the Nile, the gift of God to that ancient land. ' Its mysteri ous and regular rising and overflow symbolized the eternal vigilance of a good and merciful God. A deep well is connected in the river by a subterranean canal. ; It is ealled the Nilometer. ' By the , height of the water in the well is precisely known the extent of the inundation. In old Egypt the night of June 17th is called the night of L the drop. From the misty kingdom of a beautiful mythology, a traditional belief still lives, that during this night a magical drop from a cloud less sky falls into the Nile, and start its rising. It is a tear of Isia, the lovely goddess with amT brosial locks, falling near her sacred shrine in the Isle of Philae In touch and sympathy, the river begins to swell, while Sirius looks on vith a brilliance outshining the sun, for the soul of that is Isis, The goddess of liberty as sym bolized by a pure democracy is and ever has been the object of worship in America. The goddess has veil ed her face, blinded with tears at the abandonment of her shrine, her loved ones have gone astray fasci nated by foreign divinities.
