C, THEY ABOLISHED ALL PASSES Directors of Sescosst Railroad Held Inv portsst Adjoaraed Meeting Yester dsy Equipment Inspected. At an adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Wilmington Sea coast Railroad Company, held yester day morning in the offices of Hugh MacBae & Co., on Front street, much business of interest and importance to the stockholders of. the company was transacted. A report was made by Mr. A. B. Skelding, superintendent relative to the steam equipment and rolling alock of the road and to the changes that would be desirable and necessary for the coming season's bus iness. Hesubmttted a report of an inspection of the rolling stock made by Mr. Z. B. Murrell, foreman of the A. O. L. car shops, through the courtesy of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. After discussion, the officers of the road were authorised and instructed to make the changes and improvements suggested in these reports in order to put the equipment in thoroughly good Condition. The directors of the road, a majority of whom were at the meeting, dis cussed the question of the issuance of passe , which has gradually grown and extended and become a serious menace to the 1 road's welfare. Tbe opinion was expressed that the num ber of passes issued had become a cause of general remark and the effect was to dissatisfy regular patrons of the road who pay their railway fares. The conclusion was reached that reform in this direction was imperative, and in a spirit of fairness to all interests concerned, the directors decided to give up their own passes over the road, and made this a matter of record by the passage of the following reso lution : "Whereas, the issuance of passes has grown to such proportions that it seriously impairs the income of the road ; therefore, be It "Resolved, That the directors de cline to accept the passes which they are entitled to over this road." After transacting other business and referring several matters to the Board of Directors the meeting adjourned. "TALES OP CAPE FEAR BLOCKADE.' Febraary Number of the North Caroliaa Booklet by Mr. Jsmes Saraat. The February number of The North Carolina Booklet issued by the North Carolina Booklet Company, Raleigh, N. Q, will contain -"The Tales of the Cape Fear Blockade," by Mr: James Sprunt of Wilmington. This book let is written in Mr. Sprunt's best style and presents a vivid, realistic picture of the 8outh's great period of 'storm and stress." It will be remembered that Wilming ton was especially noted as the very heart of that vital intercourse between the Confederate States and foreign countries, an intercourse which de pended almost wholly upon the heroic "pluck" and dauntless courage of the "blockade runners," who in the face of greatest dangers, despite innumer able losses, brought through the vigil antly guarded channels munitions of war, the blankets and clothing for the soldiers, the cotton cards and medicines for the women at home and supplies of all kinds. But from the beginning, long after all other porta in the South were closed, until within a few months of Lee's surrender, Wilmington kept her gates open, and through them the very bones and blood of the Confeder acy flowed into the war-ridden South. This booklet contains much of his torical interest never before published, and will be of inestimable value to the South. All special orders should be sent in at once, as the first edition has already been exhausted, a second partially dis posed of, and there will be no further re-print STEAMSHIP ONEIDA IN DISTRESS. Grounded la Wisysb Bay, To(s Are Try ing to Pall Her Off. An Associated Press dispatch last night from Georgetown, 8.

Caroliaa Northern and Raleigh and Cape Pear May Combine to Qive Direct Line to S. C. Coast ssssssssaasssw Neic8 and Observer, 22nd. "You are getting mighty hot" said a gentleman who keeps posted about railroad matters yesterday 'in writing about that new direct line of railroad from Raleigh to Charleston, Tia 8ippe haw, Lilliogton, Fayetteville. Lum berton and Marion, S. G. It is going to be built and will do great good to Raleighand all the section through which it passes. Do not ask me ex actly how it will be built whether by merger of the Mills road with the Carolina Northern or some other way. ttut tnat line is going to be built and will be running before a srreat many months pass by. Just make a note of that if you please." I was examining the map to-day with a view to seeing how the route was between Raleigh and Lumberton. via Lillington and Fayetteville. If you will draw a line from Sippehaw (Fuquay Springs) the present terminus of the Mills road (Raleigh and Cape JTear) you will find that it is as straight a line as the crow flies. It is a per fectly straight line, and runs through a heavily timbered country. It is sixty-three miles from Raleigh to Fayetteville. The Mills road is already built twenty miles, leaving forty three miles to get to Fayetteville. The plans have already been made and bonds sold to build it fifteen miles further south. It is something like thirty miles from Fayetteville to Lumberton. The road 8outh of LumUerton is al ready built to Marion, 8. C, and is in operation. More than that; it ia pay ing interest on its bonds and is earning a dividend besides. It has plenty of capital behind it and wants connection to Raleigh. Mr. Mills is going South and wants connection to Fayetteville ana Lium berton. The road is going to be built and before a great while you can get on a train on tbe Mills road and go into Charleston without chang ing cars. The conference held in Raleigh be tween Mr. Mills and Mr. Proctor rep senting the Carolina and Northern road, will bear fruit with a few days. Its Eogsgemeata Cancelled.

A produc tion of such magnitude entails lavish expenditure, and in order to meet the artistic demand of tbe great play, the engagement of tbe ablest players avail able is necessary.

Superintendent of Hesltb of , Sampson County Tskes Exception to Wnrsaw's 'Attitude Townrd Smallpox. To the Kditob MoRimra Stab : I see in your paper of Friday that H. L. Stevens, Esq., of Warsaw, gave to your readers a great deal of fiction concerning smallpox, in Sampson. I i -1- . - 1 ; 1 U . .11 . wisu va give, in justice 10 an parties concerned, a few actual facts concern ing the smallpox situation. The amount of fiction that the peo ple of Warsaw has been fed. on, con cerning Clinton, for the past few weeks has grown to such an amount that in their eyes we are all in such a bad condition that we should go about crying "make way. unclean, unclean." whereas the facts are, that in the whole epidemic only four houses in Clinton have been quarantined. At pres ent every case in tbe county, except one, has passed through the several stages of the disease and we are only waiting for the given time to pass, be fore we raise the quarantine. Mr. 8teven8 quotes from a letter of Mr. A. H Herring, saying that there were fifteen cases in a radius of two miles of Mr. Herring's home. His quotation reads as if there were 15 cases there now. This is another ex ample of fiction. The facts in the case are these: at present there is only one case in Mr. Herring's neighborhood, an old negro woman,' who waited on one of the other cases; she is now shed ding and nearly well. Counting all of the cases in a radius of five miles of Mr. Herring's, there has been only 15 cases. Eight of these cases oc curred in December, 1901, and were called chicken pox; six of these cases ran their course in January, leaving only one case in February, that of the old woman above reported. Mr. Stevens mentions the deaths of Mr. Rose and Mr. Merritt Has Mr. Stevens ever heard of a severe epi demic of smallpox occurring in un vaccinated people without some deaths? If I remember correctly the mortality is given from 33t to 50 per cent The deaths in this epidemic have been 15 per cent In not a single in stance have I had a death or even a case of pure variola in a person who had ever been vaccinated. Concerning Mr. Merritt I will re mind Mr. Stevens that Mr. Merritt lives a few miles nearer Warsaw than Clinton. In the family o? Mr. Rose, there were six cases; five of these were se vere, and of these only one death, and that was indirectly caused by un necessary exposure. 1 ' How about the Duplin cases? I will ask if there are any cases at Dr. Matt Moore's place, and if the Fonville plantation isn't five miles instead of seven from Warsaw f R. E. Lee, M. D., Supt of Health. Clinton, N. C. POUR HANGINGS WEDNESDAY. Qea. Toon's Successor Will be Appelated Monday Other Raleigh News. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 23.
