ASHEVILLE'S NEW RAILROAD. For a lon.gr time have bo: u. twins: to get a new outlet by rail. Many schemes have been laid tor building a new line which wout make that city independent of the Southern, but none of these roads got beyond the paper stage. Now, how ever, it seems the hopes of her people are to be realized and a road is to be built to a point on the Clinchfield road, thus giving Asheville a new route to the North, West and Northwest. On this subject the Manufacturers' Record says: "Recent reports from Asheville, . C, say that John H. Carter, president of the American National Bank, and R. S. Howland. both of that city, are interested with Chicago capitalists in a plan to build a railroad connecting Asheville -with Huntdale, N, C, on the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railway. "With reference to the foregoing, Mr. R. S. Howland writes from Ashe ville to the Manufacturers' Record thus: " 'The Asheville & East Tennessee Railroad has been chartered to take over the line of the Weaverville Elec tric Co., and continue the same to Huntdale, N. C, where connection will be made with the Carolina, Clinch field & Ohio, thus giving Asheville and vicinity a new route to all Northern and Central Western cities and the coal fields, of Western Virginia. 'The railroad will also develop the lumber resources of a large territory now without access to the markets, and the important minerals of Yancey county. The line is graded as far as Weaverville, and the cars will begin running to that point early in April. The names of the contractors and en gineers will be announced later, as knows the only way to get the Got! eminent to undertake this work is to keep hammering away at it, and that the results to his people will be worth all the work he can put on it. If he succeeds the good to flow thfcre fiom will be a lasting testimonial o his faithfulness and persevering ener gy as the representative of this dis trict in the Congress. "One of the finest schools iu the State is located at Blowing Rock, up among the po' whites, in Watauga county. There are similar schools in Caldwell,- Alleghany, Ashe, Surry, Mitchell. Yancey, Madison. Swain, Graham. Cherokee and Macon couu-ti-?s. There are a few schools in Bun combe and Haywood.' The above is from the editorial col- t . 1 . . .

It is a home and farm paper and has a large circulation and when a "Corpse is laid out it la worse. .A person lying flat on his back does not look like he does when sitting or walking.

We condemn, of course, the senti ments of the Minnesota young lady who denounced Gen. Robert E. Lee as a traitor in the prize essay which won the Daughters of the Confede racy prize. But we do think that Dr. Alderman gives a very satisfactory explanation of his part in the matter when he says that, he thought that the award was to be made on the ground of literary merit, in the ab sence of explicit instructions to the contrary, Dr. Alderman's assumption was very natural. The fault, it seems tto us, is with the Daughters of the Confederacy in not more clearly stat ing the terms and conditions of the contest. Petersburg Jndex-Appeal. We should like to see the Ameri can merchant marine restored to its former prestige and our glorious flag unfurled on every sea, but most of the people who follow the flag are of the opinion that the Merchant Marine Ijeagjue is after the appropriations rather than after the flag. The whole scheme of subsidies for ships is a scheme to fill th,e( pockets of the ship builders and the shipowners why not be honest about it and say so? There has been an enormous increase in the foreign commerce of the United States in the last few years and there has been no lack of ship room for Ameri can freights offered for sale in foreign markets. Charleston News-Courier. 5""5!!"""""5"""""""5'"!""""5" One would suppose from reading the editorials of the News and Observer that it was the general custom in the cotton mills of this State to work wo men and children all night. Here is a paragraph from its editorial columns which conveys that impression: "If the cotton mill manufacturers would stop all-night work by children and women it.wbuld be a long step in the right direction."

Branch, the mil lionaire Richmond banker and railroad stockholder, who is largely interested in the Chesapeake and Ohio stock, who has for years been fighting to throw off the yoke of the Pennsylva nia and Vanderbilt system from the Chesapeaike and Ohio. "I have not Ireard from my partners in New York," continued Mi. Branch, "as to just ex actly what has been done, but I do know that the policy of the new man agement will be progressive and along such lines as will make th3 Chesa peake and Ohio one of the greatest trunk lines in the United States."
