nesday takes from our midst a dis

-"unique position. He belonged to that
type of Southerners who received their
inspiration from the ante-war period,
and wais one of the few remaining in
North Carolina. He was a men of con
spicuous ability, and there was about
him that dignity aiad high sense of
honor that so characterized the old
Southern gentlemen. In nis case it
was unassumed; it was natural and it
was from one day to another during
his life time. He was one of those
men whose integrity was of the un

METHODIST COLLEGE FOR
MAXTON-
The good town of Maxton is con
gratulated upon its selection as the
site of the college for young women
to be established and conducted under
the auspices of the Fayetteville and
Rockingham district conferences of the
North Carolina Conference, M.
E. Church, South. The decision was
made on Tuesday at Maxton where
the committees of the two district
conferences met to decide upon the
location of the college, and receivo
propositions from the towns anxious
to secure the new educational insti
tution. Delegations from Favette-
ville, Sanford, Hamlet, and Red
Springs appeared before the commit-
ing a building lot free and $12,0001
in cash, and the other towns made
liberal offers. Maxton tendered a site
valued at $2,500 and $15,000 cash, and
after duly considering the advantages
of all the towns under consideration,
the committees decided that those of
Maxton outweighed all the others.
That flourishing town will therefore
be recommended to the conference as
the location of the college-
It appears that the new college is to
be a much more pretentious institu
tion than the casual mention of the
enterprise heretofore indicated. It
is announced that the Methodists will
build a college second to none in North
Carolina and that about a quarter of a
million dollars will be expended upon
the institution. Naturally the Maxton
people are delighted at having secur
ed the prize, and no doubt it will be
of immense advantage to the commu
nity both as a. business proposition
and the educational up-lifting of the
community,. All the competing towns
were good ones, Maxton's success in
winning is, therefore, all the more
noteworthy.
A $20,000,000 CONTRACT.
Nothing speaks so emphatically and
effectively for the development of this
part of the South than the fact that
it has become a matter of necessity to
double track the main lines of rail
way traversing our country. The ne
cessity for double track lines indicates
how enormously transportation from
our States has developed and as a
matter of course it all comes about
as .a result of the vast increase of
production from our factories and
farms. These reflections were induc
ed by the announcement that on Tues
day at Charlotte the Southern Railway
awarded a contract for double tracking
the Atlanta and Charlotte division,
once known as the "Air Line." In
order that the magnitude of the enter
prise may be properly appreciated, we
take from yesterday's Charlotte Ob
server the following:
"The one topic of conversation in
local railway circles yesterday was
I the big contract let by the Southern
Railway , company to Oliver Brothers
of Knoxville, Tenn., for the grading
straightening and double-tracking the
main line between Charlotte and At
lanta, Ga- The amount involved in
the contract and the time required
to complete it, were tne two questions
most frequently asked. It is given on
good .authority that the contractors
have five years in whioh to finish their
work and that over $20,000,000 is in-j
volved. The present line is 267 miles
in length. According to the new plans
and specifications this line is to be
worked over from start to finish.
Where needed, the grades are to be
reduced, the nils raised, new ties put
in, the track straightened and tne oea
generally improved. Tracks will run
side by side and will be ballasted sim
ilar to those of the great systems of
the North. Every device known to
science will be utilized in making the
road as near perfect as possible. ThQ
straightening of the line will necessa
rily result in some smaller towns
along the route being left high and
dry. The surveys, however, have been
made with a view to discarding as few
as possible.
"R. F. Rivinac & Company, sub-contractors
operating in connection with
Oliver Brothers, who are now engaged
in building the new Southern freight
yards near the junction north of the
city, will begin work on the double
tracking of the main line south from
Charlotte as soon as the machines
and supplies may be received- This
will be some time next month.
"The work on the freight yards
will be pushed night and day, begin
ning the first of next week- There will
be between 600 and 800 hands em
ployed, divided in day and night shifts.
It is estimated that the yards will be
ready for use some time next fall.
"In the office of the register of deeds
of Mecklenburg county, there is the
biggest deed on file which has ever
been recorded in the State. It is for
$200,000,000. Copies have been filed in
every county in the State through
which the Southern lines run. A large
part of this immense sum is being used
in betterments, such as the double
tracking of the system, the purchase
of additional rolling stock, enlarging
the terminal facilities and maklnp
other improvement.
"In magnitude, the contract with
Oliver Btfothers surpasses anything
that has happened recently having
any connection whatever with Char
lotte .or Piedmont Carolina."
Th significance of a contract like
that give out at Charlotte is two-fold
the most important one that the South
is no longer a one track country and
the other that the tremendous expen
ditures of money to accomplish the
improvements is to go into the busi
ness of this section.

A REASON
The United Drug
Company, manufac
turers of the Rexall
Remedies, for whose
preparations we are
agents in this city,
make 200 remedies,
one for each ill. Each
one is especially pre
pared to cure one dis
ease, and that only.
This is an age of spe
cialists. You don't
contract with a plumb
er to build your whole
house, do you ? Why
should you contract
with one proprietary
medicine to cure all
your troubles.
Oftentimes you run
across a building con
tractor who has a sepa
rate plumbing depart
ment, his own plastering
department, and so on,
all of which dovetail to
gether and build the
house. This is just what
The United Drug Com
pany is doing for you in
the medicine line. They
have cut down profits;
they manufacture Rex
all remedies for over
2,000 retail druggists.
These druggists are the
only intermediate profit
that stand between The
United Drug Company
and the patient.
Could The United
Drug Company, of
which we are a member,
afford to make one poor
medicine in this line?
Does not common sense
tell you that one poor
medicine would ruin the
sale of the other 199
preparations? If you
bought a Rexall prepara
tion and it didn't do for
you what we claim it will,
would you buy another
one of cur articles ? We
believe not. Therefore
each preparation must
be good it is good. We
who are in the drug bus
iness know the formulas
of these Rexall prepara
tions. We believe in
them so implicitly that
we stand back of them,
with our guarantee to re
fund you your money if
they do not benefit you.
