. About January I.
kight Point, Dec. 13. Dee Al

road to be built to High Poiut,
ays that work will be aggresiyely
pnshed, just as soon as the con
tractors can take the matter in
.hand, which will be afiout the first
of the year. All in all, there are 111
miles of road to be built. Thomas
ville will be left out of the route,
if he does not come up with
$50,000. Wadesboro and Rock
ingham are the two points' at
which connection with the Sea
board can be made, and the dis
tanceto either is about same, 72
miles to Wadesboro and 77 to
. Rockingham. At the same time
there is probability of an exten
sion to Hamlet a distance of only
five miles. Mr. Hargood, head
' engineer to Oliver & Co., of Knox
ville, Tenn., is here in conference
with Dee Allen, he being: or.e of
the three largest contractors who
are making plans and figures on

The contracts will all have been
awarded in the next two weeks.

Wants Pay for Cork Leg.
Legs are4 sometimes lost in
the heat of battle where the shot
and shell are screaming, and some
go to'the bad under the wheels of
railroad trains, but tkre are but
a few that are lost when the owner
ii working on a chain gaing in a
city ofMacon's" size. ' "
Strange things happen every
day, however, so there is no use
commenting too much when the
tojy Will Benjamin a white man
recently sent to the municipal
chain gang from the recorder
court, parted with one of his legs
It was a cork one, however, and
no excruciating tortures were th
result," Something caused the leg
to snap at the knee joint and on
account of its loss, Benjamin, the
owner, has petitioned the city to
refund, the. leg in new shape or
-
else give him the money with
which to buy a new one.

this unique turn of uffairs remains
to te seen, but the story .ol the

Benton and Slavery.
It has been' commenly said that
Col. Benton was opposed to sla
very in the abstract. I .have no
sufficient evidence of that fact
in his own declaration or in the
political history of the country
to prove it. In this connection it
should be said to the credit of
Cel. Benton, and for the pur
pose of fixing his status upon
lave question, that he was an
active participant in the work
of procuring the act of Congress
authorizing the voters of the Mis
souri territory to form a consti
tution recognizing the existence
of slavery, that the members Qf
the Constitutional Convention
from St. Louis county were unani
mously in favor of making Mis
souri a slave state.-. The provision
prohibiting free persoLS of color
from other states . from entering
or remaining in this State, was
his own work, written .with his
own hand. This seems to me to
be quite sufficient to disprove the
above statement. Judge Thomas

Mr. Ackert, fourth vice-president
and general manager , of the
Southern Railway, said today that
the traflBc department waleDgag
ed in revising tie schedule of . the
mail train No. 97, and ; other
trains on the Southern Railway.
The idea is to establish -such new
schedules as the road will be able
tQ maintain in view of the con-
crested traffic. It is understood
that the schedules on the through
train from Washington torAtlanta
and New Orleans will fee. made
from one to three hours later.
The plan is to give tji people
schedules that they mar depend
upon, even if it is necessary to
run trains slower. Washington

his failure and inability to reproduce the genuine, and he-knew, without "Thia is a Horse."
written below, no one would recoenize what he had tried to ir.ak&tliVould-be competitors
have tried for years to imitate Graixj Tobacco.' They make bla k plugs of similar size, but
of less weight, and put intt a'.l sorts of various concoctions, mixtures and kinds of Tobacco,
but all failed (to g-et the business) and finally hit upon, the small boy's plan, and printed 'on
the tag; SOMEBODY'S SUN CURED." They all advertise arid tell you that SOMEBODY'S
SUN CURED ta? is valuable Of"cWrse it is (it cost about 15 cents per thousand) iwt how
about the miserable imitation of Grapl&Tobacc the tag i3 On ? Somebody's San Cured tag no
