APPEALS TO SQUfHERNEBS. President Fioley asks for $jtof; Hair- mony and Just Dealing Newi Orleans. March , rlo An j : appeal to all Southerners to stand I by the , railroads for the sake of the development of the ' South, was, made to night by W. W. Fin ley, president of the Southern Railway, at a busiuess banquet tendered him here. He said in part: "If the railways of the South are to be brought up to the stand ard required by the expanding business of Southern communi ties, the people of the South must be actuated by the same spirit of corporation they showed in the early days of railroad building, when communities vied with each other in offering inducements for construction. The day for gov ernmental and municipal fin an- cial-aid for railway lines has pass ed and the many millions of dol lars that will be reauired for M. additional track capacity and ter minal facilities must be obtained from private investors. "The greater part of the money must be borrqwed. "Identified during , most of my business career with the railways of the South, I know the resources of its railways will be taxed to - V the utmost to provide the addi tional facilities that will be re quired: The provision of these facilities at the earliest possible date is of incalculably more im portance to the South titan any possible rate reduction, .or any urooosition to penalize roads for J X 7. M. failure to perform services which are beyond their present capacity. "I believe that it is to the in terest of the railways and the peo ple that a spirit of harmony and just dealing be fostered.' f Petition for Relief. A petition signed by influential citizens, property owners and oth ere, of Colon, has been handed to secretary of state Arias, for pre sentation to the United States government, invoking relielfrom the unjust an$ intolerable condi tions imposed by the United states local authorities carrying out the sanitary improvements for the reconstruction of Colon. -The petitioners claim that not withstanding articles six and sev en of the treaty between the Unit ed States and Panama, they are coerced to fill up their lands, held under precarious leases and are compelled to make other perma nent improvements, for which they say the treaty stipulates that the United States is responsible. Many property owners are ab staining from omplianct with the demands of the sanitary au thorities while awaiting the out come of the petition.

Soar Suggestions Which All Good, Pa- 1 trlotlclIltlzeBs Should Take to Heart.-' It appears to as that there is a healthy sentiment in this com-; I m unity at this time m favor of laying aside amerences pi opin- ion upon subjects which the city administration cannot 'effect and which are in that sense abstract. and selecting a board of aldermen )t nrst-ciass business meu, capa ble of grappling with -the rave problems which confront the city. This is a sentiment which should be fostered which every! well- wisher of Charlotte should strive to promote. It would be worse than idle, it would be foolish,' for us to try .to conceal from our selves the fact that our financial affairs are not in good condition and that it is imperative that something be done to improve the situation. And end must come at some time to the issuance of bonds to raise money to meet cur rent expenses, else -the city will ultimately nnd itseli in tne case of an individual who might, in stead of paying his monthly bills out of his income, give his notes for them. His early finish would be inevitable. Things need to be done the doipg of which would call for money. For instance, everybody clamors for good streets and few stop to reflect that we have not the money with which to lay them. What is here said is intended ouly to be suggestive there is no thought of outlining any policy and this suggestion is that in each ward all differences of opinion be tween citizens -be forgotten and the people get together in a spirit of high patriotism and select their aldermen wholly with reference to their business ability ; their ability to solve the problems, present and immediately pros pective. Very many of the most capable men will shrink from ser vice on the board of aldermen. It is a time when, if called upon, they herald Sacrifice their conven ience and comfort and lend them selves to the service of the city. This is no time to reward friends or puuish enemies, but the hour haB struck and, this period, when we are taking on larger growth, is the time for every man, forgetful of all else, to resolve to try to do something for Charlotte. He can do that by voting, not for his friend, not against his enemy, bub foi the men in his ward moat capable to sit in the board of al dermen at a critical period in the city's history a period when the very best ability of the. citizen ship is demanded. Charlotte Observer. Southern's New School. The Southern Railway Com oanv has opened a school at Spen cer for the instruction of employ- es.
