THAT NEW DEPOT.
Lest the Seaboard Air Line
should forgot, it may be well to
call its attention to the fact that
we are still expecting that new
depot here- It is high time for
some evidence that it is going to
be erected. We have already
had some talk and promises but
Ave would like to have the goods
delivered.
The people are not clamoring
for a new depot just because
they want it but because they
need it. They pre entitled to at
least decent accomodations, and
this they have not got. On only
ordinary occasions the little box
they now have will not seat the
traveling people that have to wait
there. It is a case of either
stand in the sun or go up town.
Other conveniences necessary to
a modern railway station are
lacking.
Another reason why we should
have a better depot is the fact
that Lumberton is a remunera
tive point to the road. The busi
ness done here is far ahead of other
points where better facilities
have been provided, and this con
dition is getting better with the
steady growth of the town. Both
the passenger and freight depart
ments are receiving more busi
ness. The Seaboard took steps some
months ago looking to a more
satisfactory depot and proposed
to erect a wooden building. This
was not acceptable to the people
here as our own people aie
forbidden by law to erect a
frame building in certain limits
in which the depot site is included
and of course they would not
wake and exception with the rail
road.
THE REFORMATORY.
The plea for a reformatory for
youthful criminals is based on
tlie idea that punishment is cor
recti ve rather than vengeful. We
put men in prison not to punish
them, but to save them. Biblical
Recorder.
The real object in the sentence
of the law is to correct and make
better citizens of criminals, but
it is a hard matter to make the
criminals look at it that way
They take it as punishment and
when they have served a term
for some, crime they feel that
they have discharged their full
duty and can go and do likewise
again. We believe in the case of
youthful criminals a reformatory
would serve a better purpose, as
they would realize they were put
there to be reformed. Of course
if they were worked on chain
gangs and confined in prisons
they will not form such opinions.
Continuing The Recorder says:
"But to take a mere youth and
associate him with mature crimi
nals and environ him with the
conditions that must obtain in
our State's Prison or the county
convict camps, is to do all that
can be done to degrade him, con
firm, him, in evil and ruin him.
The separation from the ministry
of women that alone sends one
downward;, to restrict him to the
lowest forms of labor; to deprive
him of the opportunity to learn
a good trade; to submerge himi n
punishment rather than to shore
up his character in correction;
these are bad enough: but to as
sociate him with mature crimi
nals it is sinful, not to mention
the short sightedness of it."
RESTRAINING ORDER VACATED.
The Raleigh Railroad Schedule
Matter Settled.
Raleigh Dispatch Wilmington 8lar,lst.
The Commission today, through
Attorney General Gilmer, an
swered the restraining order by
Judge Purnell in the United
States Court against the (South
ern Railway Company for fines
and penalties for refusal to obey
the order of the Commission not
to put into operation the new
schedule for the Southern train
from GoUlsboro to Greensboro.
The answer reviewed the
course of the Commission in the
matter and stated that the Com
mission had just made an order
allowing the withdrawal of peti
tions on which their order was
based thereby vacating the
whole proceeding- The Com
mission, therefore, prayed the
United States Court that the or
dor against the Commission be
vacated as there were no pos
sible ground on which suit for
penalties could be maintained
against the Southern' On this
presentation of the case, Judge
Purnell with consent of counsel
for the Southern, made an order
dismissing the whole proceeding
and taxing the Commission with
the cost
Judge Purnell in dismissing
the order at the cost of the Com
mission stated that nearly all
points Involved had been settled
in the Greensboro Tee and Coal
case. That at the time the res
traning order was issued as the
fact then appeared, the restrain
order was entirely proper,
though complainants might have
awaited a clay or two for develop
ment. ' The CorjHiration Commission
is given full credit in this court
for the sincerity of its answer,"
said the Judge on drawing up
the dec ree dismissed the bill and
taxing defendants with the costs
except the defendant Lawrence,
who answered that he had no in
terest in the matter and has in
curred and provoked no costs."
A sensational feature of the
hearing was the tiling of an an
swer from Robert C Lawrence,
of the law firm of Mclntyre &
Ijawrence, of Lumberton, as one
of the petitioners for the order
forbidding the operation of the
new schedule by the Southern.
In it he declared he signed the
petition against the Southern
without and jersonal knowledge
of the situation solely on repres
entation of the conditions by a
traveling agent of the News and
Observer and he now finds he
was deceived and that there ap
pears to be no reasonable ground
for objection to the new schedule.
He prays, therefore, that he be
allowed to get out of the case
without incu r ring any of the cost.
Mr. Lawrence, of Lumberton;" J
M. Scoot, of Sanford, and P- K
Ferguson, of Southern Pines,
were the petitioners singled out
and especially mentioned in con
nection with the restraining or
der issued by Judge Purnell at
the instance of an attorney for
the Southern, answered and dis
missed today.
If present indications were any
index to what will be done two
years from now it could safely
be predicted that William Jen
nings Bryan would be the Demd'-
cratic nominee for President.
Several Democratic State Con
ventions have declared for him
and he has gained favor that he
has not heretofore had. However
prospects may change within the
next two years, or at least there
is plenty of time for a change-
Those who have not already
done so, have but five more days
to list their property for taxes.
To wait until alter this time
means you will have to pay extra.
Resolutions ol Respect.
Whereas, it has pleased our
Heavenly Father to take from our
midst our brother, Capt. Willis
P. Moore, therefore be it resolv
ed. 1st. That while we bow in
humble submission to the will of
Him "Who is too wise to err and
too good to be unkind" it is with
profound regret that we part
with our brother. ,
L'nd. That the lodge has lost
one of its oldest valued members,
having been a member of the or
der for 50 years. He was a valu
ed citizen, good husband and
father and ever ready to do bia
part as he saw it as a Mason
and a citizen.
3rd. That while the lodge
mourns its loss, it is not without
hope for we feel it was his eter
nal gain. He was a faithful mem
ber of the Methodist Episcopal
church for over twenty years,and
his life was such that we believe
he is "at rest."
4th- We extend to his loved
ones our sympathies and bow
with them in humble submission
to Him who doeth all things well.
5th. That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to the family and
spread upon the minutes, and al
so to the Orphans Friend for
publication.
