NORFOLK & SOUTHERN EXTEN
DS. 8ION.
The Norfolk fc Southern 1 the new
. railroad -system.- which has dereloped
from Norfolk eastern North Car
olina jrltMa the past few yearaThe
company has bought and consolidated
sereral old line, built new ones, eon
templates others, and the fact Ls
dawning that It U sooner or later to
be an Important sjstetrL The line al
ready extends as far this way aa New
born and Golds bo ro. and there hare
beea rumors that It is contemplated
to trail d further Into southeastern
North Carolina. .That means tha TTU
nilafiton may be one of Its obJectlTe
points, but of that we hare no definite
Information. The Pendor Chronicle
hears that the- system will probably
build a line Into Pender county, and
referring to the Norfolk & Southern,
that esteemed contemporary makes
this Interesting reference to IL
There are rarlous rumors afloat as
to the direction the above railroad is
to take when the work of construction
begins. We learn that It ls at or near
Catharine Lake in Onslow county, and
that it Is undecided. as to where it
will run In this direction. It seems to
us that a'TOuto through the Maple
IIIU section, coming thence through
Burgaw, If the road is heading .for
Charleston as reported, would be the
most desirable for the road, as It
would open up one of the finest sec
tions of Pender county. The coming
of this road through Burgaw would
mean much for our town, and it be
hooves our people to bestir them
selves at once, and take whatever
steps are necessary to secure it. With
competing lines of railway It would
encourage the establishment of facto
ries, as it ls a well known fact that
frelrht rates have much to do with
this kind of business, no man or com
pany being willing to invest money in
a manufacturing enterprise where
they are liable to be frozen out by ex
cessive freight rates. This Is a mat
ter of great Importance to Burgaw,
and if our people wish to get the ben
efit of this railroad it would be well
to act at once. If any action Is taken
at alL
PROF. MASSEY TO WRITE.
r
The Duplin Journal, of Warsaw,
says:
"It will doubtless Interest hundreds
of our farmer readers to know that
Prof- Maasey. so long and so success
fully identified with the Practical Far
mer, has severed his connection with
thnt paper, and will hereafter write
regularly for The Progressive Farmer,
ot. Raleigh. N. C. Certainly no man
la Southern agricultural work has
won a greater following than Prof.
Massey, and as his life work has been
In the South, he will hereafter con
tribute only to Southern farm papers.
Ms letters will appear In The Pro
gressive Farmer each week."
-The Star takes this from The Jour
nal In order to endorse Its reference
to Prof- Massey and congratulate the
Progressive Farmer. We take the op
portunity to say that the Progressive
Farmer Is not only a North Carolina
paper, but Is a Southern institution,
and "one worthy of it In the ability of
its staff of writers, la their practical
and scientific knowledge of agricul
ture, and In Its helpfulness f nd use
famess to the farmers in developing
the great agricultural resources of the
South. It ls devoted to the cause and
exploits it In a manner that should
niake for It a place In the home of
every farmer from Virginia to Texaa
The acquisition of Prof. Massey to Its
already strong corps of agricultural
Writers adds to the capabilities that
make The Progressive Farmer a ne
cessity to the man who wants to
make the ground yield him the most
satisfactory results. We don't know
how to of greater benefit to our
farmers than to make that sugges
tion. ONLY A LAUGHING MATTER.
Editor John Temple Graves, of At
lanta, has been quoted as saying that
President Roosevelt had remarked to
him that he might consent to bo a
candidate for President again If he
thought by so doing he could break
tfc solid South by getting the electo
ral vote of Georgia or any other
Southern State. CoL Graves now rises
to explain that while the President
did cot use the expressions attributed
to him. yet he (CoL Graves) did sy
to the President that If he (Mr. Roose
veil) would accent the Republican
nomlnaUoa next year, he would be
we to get ths electoral Tote ot more
ikaa one Sou thorn State, and. In his
opinion, many Southern States. ,
-CoL Gravna has been put la the at
tlrala ot , misrepresenting thePreal
Gcat. but while he makes the ccrrcc-
mLiONQTON. N. a
tlon he acknowledges that he'trtedfo
conjuro Mr. Roosevelt with assurances
tht one or more Southern '6tatea
would vote for him. , If rM.-. Roose
velt' hadn't known that CoL Graves
is honest and Innocent he might have
reported to the detectives " that the
Georgia orator did his best to sell
him a gold brick. As it was, however,
Roosevelt didnt have anything else
to do than appear "de-lighted" while
Graves was present, but If a snap shot
of the .President had been taken af
ter the Georgian had left It would
have caught the President "Jes laffln
to hisself.- as Uncle Remus would
say of Brer Possmm.
IT ACTED WISELY.
. The State Democratic Convention
of Jeiinjylvanl acted wisely In turn
ing down a resolution Indorsing Wil
liam J. Bryan for the Presidency la
190S.' Snch an , indorsement would
hare encouraged a candidacy that
forebodes nothing but disaster and
demoralize on to the Democratic par
ty. Twice has Mr. Bryan been hon
ored with . the national leadership of
his party, , and twice has that party
gone-"down in defeat the last time it
being so. overwhelming that the party
has not yet "recovered from the disas
ter.
Why should the Democratic party
again engage In a hopeless struggle?
To be defeated a third time under
the leadership of Mr. Bryan would
mean Irretrievable ruin and the sur
render of some of the principles that
are the very essence of real Democ
racy. The plain duty of every State Demo
cratic Convention that will be held
during the next year ls to indorse no
candidate for the Presidency. Let the
delegates to the National Convention
go untrammelled by Instructions, free
to act for the real interests of the par
ty they represent.
There ls hope for the Democrats in
190S If they are wise enough to name
a ticket and adopt a platform that will
unite the party.

worse, I tried everything but only
