Tho majority of people la Sampson county for 10 or 12 years have entirely overlooked the fact that the Republican party has never changed Its spots. The South Carolina House of Repre sentatives passed the Toole bill mak ing passenger fares two and a half cents on railroads In that State. How ever, the bill met Its death In tho Senate Monday night by a vote, of 55 to n. The only Question In mat Cl llk that is whether the railroads can stand the reduction and give the State the proper passenger service that la demanded, and to which the traveling public Is entitled Too muda of a cut may be aa much a detriment to a State as It is to the railroads.

Feb. 13 For two hours this afternoon the lower branch of the General Assembly discussed the Manning bill for the reduction of railroad passenger fares to two cents per mile for the Southern and Atlan tic Coast Line, earning more than $1,- 550 per mile: two and a half cents for the Seaboard Air Line, earning less than that amount, and three cents for the smaller roads, earning less than $1,000 per mile. The discussion was not -finished during ihe afternoon, arwl the House was in session until 11 o clock tonight, considering the matter. At the latter hour, the dls ctiiiUon still had not ended and a re cess was taken until 10:30 o'clock to morrow morning. The speakers this afternoon were Mr. Manning, of Durham, in explana tion of the bill t lenth. and Mr. Mor ton, of New Hanover, in opposition to any reduction whatever. He de clared in a vigorous debate that tht, rtdudtion would b? ruinous to the rail way. of the State, and there 'as no ('-mand for the decrease. Tho d 1'ja.cd was for better freight and pv enger service Mr. Turllngotn. of Iredell, was a Is heard In opposition to the- bill. s offered a substitute for first class fare and two an!

Mr. Harshaw, tho Re publican leader In the House, spoko in opposition to the measure, declar ing that it was time for conservatism to rvevall in the State, and that rather hac he efforts of the Legislature ooen directed toward tetter servloj by th transportation lines.

He urged only such reduction as would enable the railroads to live and do business, furnishing adequate service to the rapidly growing State. Mr. Stevens, of Union, was heard princi pally In favor of the section of tho bill limiting transportation to newspa pers to that contract for at the tegular space rates, mileage books be ing furnished therefor. Owen, Republican, of Sampson, made a remarkable speech. In which he highly complimented the recent State Legislature and strongly endow ed the course taken on this question by the Democrats. He said that the body was both conservative and wise, and urged the two-cent rate, declar ing his belief that the railroads could live and do well on a rate of one cent per mile. Ho repudiated the position of his party on the subject and spoke vigorously along the lines Indicated. Speaker Justice, of Guilford, for S half an hour discussed the bill in de- tall, giving the reasons which had ac i tuated the committee in submitting the various propositions and fixing the scale of rates as to the earnings per mile. The principal reason for adopt ing the schedule as to earnings was because at the limit placed the rail roads would be receiving 12 per cent.

Support. There is a revival of the movement begun several years ago to hold In Wilmington an annual fair. Senti ment to this ffect has rapidly crys tallzed and It fVatabed tnat'thfcre is now every .prospec that, the plans will fully mature. The fruit fair to be held In Eastern North Carolina was allowed to go" thlseason rather by default but the committee which was appointed from the Chamber of Commerca on thi3 subject has conceiv ed the idea of a greater fair and. have met with encouraging responses from fnj m the men hereabouts who do things. It now seems likely that be fore a great whiie a Fair Association will be organized and this city will be put on one cf the Southern racing circuits. It is proposed to hold the fair simultaneously in 190S with the exhibition of fruit and truck under the auspices of the State Horticul tural Society and it is said that Wil mington will have absolutely no trou ble In landing the fair for this occa sicn. Twenty influential men have ben secured to net as directors of the Fair Association and have agreed to afce stock in such an enterprise. The matter Is deserving of the support of the entire cjty and it is hoped that the plans will fully mature. ANDREW J. WALKER DEAD. Well Known Colored Citizen Succumb ed to Attack of Apoplexy. Andrew J. Walker, a prominent col ored man of this city, at one time a member of the Board of Aldermen and a representative in the General As sembly from New Hanover county, died last night at 9:30 o'clock at his home, 1109 North Fifth street. Deajh resulted from a stroke of apoplexy suffered Tuesday morning about 7:30 o'clock as he was on his way down town where he was engaged as a man servant by Mr. H. M. Chase and others. The stroke prostrated him as he was crossmg Fourth Street bridge and he was unconscious after tnat tinre. friends having taken him to his home, where he gradually grew worse until the end came. The deceased was in the fiftieth year of his age and leaved1 a wife and one aonand- daughter, the latter living In Florida, to mourn their loss. The arrangements for the funeral have not been made as yet Walker was well thought of by those who knew him and that was quite everybody who lived in Wilmington, during the Republican regime. In spite of his political tendencies, walker was well behaved, polite, courteous and far above the average of intelligence among his race. For many years he was Janitcr of the Seaboard Air Line building on Front street, when tne second floor was occupied as apart ments by Mr. Chase, Sheriff Stedman and others. Many win hear or tne death of Walker with regret RAILS FOR DOUBLE TRACKING. Five Car Loads of Material Arrived Yesterday for Front Street. Four car loads of the heavier rail and one car of spikes for the double tracking of the Consolidated car line on r roni sireet. arneu esiciuu; from the North and Is being unloaded at the Ninth and Orange street yards. It will be taken from there on flat cars and distributed on the street when the work begins. It is thought that this will not be until it is defi nitely decided what is going to be done by the city toward the rejiaving of the street. In the meantime, it is stated that the work on the other ex tensions and enlargement of the sys tem will be prosecuted with all possi ble dispatch. The work on Front street will probably be the last that is done, and as the matter of repaving that street will not be finally settled until the bond Issue Is voted on In May and the bonds are floated by the city. The rail that arrived yesterday Is the standard CO feet in length of the weight of 1,400 pounds each. This rail will be used on Front from Red Cross to Orange streets, with lighter rail where the traffic will not be so great Much of the grading for the extensions has already been done by Capt J. T. Dooley s force of men. Married Yesterday Afternoon. Mr. Herbert R. Smith, one of the popular young street car conductors of tho Consolidated Company, and Miss Ida L. Kershaw, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Kershaw, were quietly married yesterday afternoon at the homo of Sir. Ernest Williamson, Jus tice J. H. Sykes officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Smith left on the afternoon train for a wedding tour, after which j they will be at home la this city. Well Known Colored Butcher Dead. Henry C.

Newton Engaged in Lively . Fisticuff Yesterday. AT THE POLICE STATION Disturbance Grew Out of Arrest of One of the Men for Fast Riding Trial Today at Noon Coun sel Employed. The Mayor pro tem., half a score of policemen and as many citizens as sembled t the police station yester day a few minutes before the hour for convening th.e session of the po lice court at noon, were required to quiet an incipient personal encounter that was precipitated by Officer M. P. Newton, on the one hand, and Messrs. C. D. and J. Plummer Gilbert, on the other. The fight occurred right in the court room as Mayor Pro Tem. O'Brien was about to assume the chair and drop the gavel for court There was all excitement for the time being and the session cf the court was delayed a few minutes until quiet was restored. The trouble grew out of the arrest of Mr. J. Plummer Gilbert Tuesday afternoon by Officer Newton, the charge having been exceeding the speer3 JLmit on a bicjxle at Front and Princess streets. Another charge was also iodged by Officer Newton yesterday. Mr. Gilbert was served with the first warrant Tuesday after noon and yesterday he was present in the court room with his brother, Mr C. D. Gilbert, to stand trial. Officer Newton was present, of course. The Messrs. Gilbert were discussing the merits of the case in the court room and Mr. C. D. Gilbert is said to have made use of the expression that Mr. Newton had it "tin for him," anyway, and that was why he had arrested his brother. To this Mr. Newton made a hot reply. One word led to another and one cf the Messrs. Gilbert is quot ed as having said, "Never mind, wait till he gets his buttons off and we'll fix him." The officer replied that they had better "fix him" then, at the same time, it being stated, that , he either offered to lay off his coat or began doing so. At this stage cf the pro ceedings dne of the Gilberts is report ed r Tb have "delivered the officer an upper cut on the Jaw, which was re turned by a pass at one of the broth ers. The Mayor pro. tem, and the offi cers and bystanders in the court room, rushed in and separated the combat ants before any great harm was done. The Gilberts claim that the officer was armed with a club, but fellow offi cers say that Mr. Newton prior to starting out of the room, had laid his club down. On this point there was a wide divergence of testimony and it will take a court trial to determine the exact status of the affair. Immediately after the fight, Chief Williams, who was in the room, swore out warrants for the three, charging them with engaging in an affray. The Messrs. Gilbert signified their inten tion to employ counsel and the case was continued for them until to-day at nocn. nr. iewton win asK vaty At torney Bellamy to appear for him at the trial. The cases against Mr. Plummer Gilbert, for fast riding, were also bontlnued for the defendants un til noon to-day. Much feeling ds being shown in the case by friends of both sides and it is stated that Officer Newton will be served with a copy cf charges to be answered before the police committee of the Board cf Aldermen. On the other hand his feJlow officers say that he acted under great provocation and that his conduct, while unfortunate, was no more than might be expected of any officer under similan circum stances. The trial to-day at noon will, no doubt, attract a. large number of spectators and all the parties to the affair are well known. THE LENTEN SEASON- Begun Yesterday With Ash Wednes-day-r-Services In Churches. Ash Wednesday on yesterday inau gurated the' Lenten season, appropri ate services being held in nearly all the churches of the denominations which observe the period. Easter, this year, falls on the 31st of March, Lent continuing 40 days in commem oration of Christ's fast. It is a sea son of special penitence and preparation for the Easter feast, hence all pleasure of a public mature is dis carded and the days are given over to meditation and prayer. Easter com memorates the resurrection of Christ when all the world is filled with glad ness at the glory cf the Risen Lord. The first Sunday In' Lent is known as Quadragesima Sunday, the fourth, as mid-Lent Sunday; the fifth as Pas sion Sunday and. the. sixth the begin ning of the Holy Week, as "Palm Sun day. The two weejks and a half pre ceding Lent, beginning with Septua gesima, following which are Sexagesi ma and Qulnquagesima Sunday, from the pre-Lenten season, a transition be tween the Joyful Christmas and "Epi phany season and the penitential sea son of Lent. . , y . - The Carl B.

Herbert McClammyrtEsq., returned last night from Raleigh where he spent a couple of days on personal profes sional . business. He said upon his re turn to tb,e city that, his visit to the State capital had nothing whatever to do -with the Wilmington; Recorder's Court -bill as had been hinted on the streets every day since his departure. His mission to Raleigh, he jstated. more emphatically, had nothing 'what ever to do with any governmental measure pending before the General Assembly. , . Mr. McClammy stated that he heard it hinted while in Raleigh that some" sort ofa pilotage measure was.' on tapis, but of it he knew nothing defi nite. Iredell Meares Esq., , of Wil mington, and M. C. Guthrie, Esq.., of Southport, arrived on the day, that. Mr. McClammy left but he could not say, of course, what was the object of their mission in Raleigh; indeed, he said, he had no right to inquire. Mr. Guthrie would make no statement in regard to the matter of the pilotage bill, if any, that was proposed to be presented. It is learned that the Chamber of Commerce of Southport is behind a, movement for a bill to be passed re quiring compulsory pilotage ' over the bar and certain restrictions regarding the traffic as it now obtains without any regulations whatever on the river. Circular letters have been sent out asking support of a mild compulsory law, affecting the bar only, but.jt is understood that this will be violently opposed by Wilmington business men, who stand for no changes whatever from the present conditions as they now obtain at the port,fwhioh are to be quite satisfactory. It is proba ble that a delegation will be sent from Wilmington to oppose any measure that will- be proposed in this regard. Representative Morton is already committed to opposition to any bill that may be submitted and Senator Bellamy says that he knows of. no de mand for any change, but, of course, as a representative of the people would entertain anything . that was properly brought before him. . Justice John J. FUirlong: also return ed last night fromi Raleigh wherer; he looked In upon the-General AKseftrbly. He stated that while hes-was in Ha-" leigh he looked into the 'Recorder's Court bill aid found that the measure "would not hold water." He secured the opinion of several lawyers, mem bers of the Assembly, who take the same view of the situation and he does not .believe the measure will get through in the present form. The bill is still before the committee of, the House. CO-OPERATIVE B. & L. Annual Meeting Hears Fine Reports and Elects Officers.
