Hertford Preparing to Make an event of His Trial. - Hertford, Dec, 1. Now that the stage of action of the Wilbox Cropsey murder mystery has been shifted from Elizabeth City to Hertford, a few words apropos of coming second trial of this famous case, by order of Judge Moore, to this town at a special term of court early in January, may be of interest to your readers. As is well known. James E. Wilcox stands convicted of the murder of Nellio Cropsey vat Elizabeth , City, on the night o November the 20th, 1902, and the Supreme Court having granted him a new trial the cape has-been removed to Hertford, where Wil cox's friends hope the former de cision will be reversed. And so to this pretty town of 1, 500 people with its flowers and shrubbery and beautiful home, this mysterious tragedy of the murder of a young and beautiful girl by some vile assassin, whether he prisoner at the bar or not, is to be reviewed to its populace in all its hideous and despicable vile- ness. it will be a very famous trial in this section of the country because of the prominence of the families involved, and because of the very mysterious feature of the tragedy. It has spread far and wide throughout the United States, and the reading public are watch ing its course, and thus Hertford will become famous as the Stage of action on which the actors in thip bioody tragedy will H enact the closing scenes in the greatest trial in its history. The first trial was very exciting, vast crowds attend ing its- sessions, so it will be here. Like the Molineux case, interest has not subsided in this case and will not until it is finally dis posed of. The case will probably consume most of the week when it is tried in January, and the town will be thronged with visitors from far and near, braving the cold, icy winds that sweep the streets, anxious to hear the details of this sensational murder mystery. The town has only one hotel of any pretentions and that is a long old fashioned out-of-date affair. built a hundred years ago or more but it's a hospitable old place and the bill of fare is good and there are other accommodations in the town and all visitors will be taken care -of. i Hertford is noted for -its wealth. culture and morality and is situ ated on the beautiful Perquimans river and the Norfolk and South era railroad, 17 miles south of Elizabeth City and 62 miles south of Norfolk. tlficial and national waterways In list-' ltlne ofr extendinsr the market r w - - In conclusion he laid: J '"Very little of the 800,000,000 of ton of freight carried annually, on the rail roads of tl.e united States nas lti origin on the line5 of the ' road, bu must first . be moved from farm, mine, or forest over earth roads at an avera cost of 25 cents Der ton mile. If the' avera ere distance be but four mile: the exDense of transportation' befon delivery to the railroad would be $S00, 000,000, while the charge for distri bution may swell this to over $1,000. 000,000 annually most of which goes to cover wear and tear. f "The cost of transportation on our common roads may be greatly dimin ished by reducing the resistances and Improving the grades, alignment, sur face and drainage. If reduced to even pne-half the effect would be to double the area of the territory tributary to the railroads and so increase their ton nage as well- as the margin available for transportation. ' f , "As it costs much less., to Improve roads than to open branch railroads as feeders, it would be good ppUcy on the part of railroads to unjte with counties, townships and boroughs in developing systems of improved trunk roads with laterals as feeders to their own systems. 4 Numerous precedents for such a policy exist in foreign conn tries, where the results have proved Its wisdom asd economy; ; , The ELeadfnq Jeweler Corner M TiraflcD .
