Periodically, for the past fifteen years, Ihe building of a railroad from WitKtou Balem to some pjmt io this section of the date has been agitated. Sotte three or four years ago the Atlantic Coast Line railroad had a survey made from Wadesboro lo WiDstoniSalem, but that was the last heard ot the matter at that time. It nowseems certain ihat this road is ,o be built after all, and that it will stait from this place. We print this week the "Articles of Agreement" filed with the Secretary oi Stale upon which a charier has been asked for the new road. . ." '. . s: " . The building of this road should mean much (or Wadesboro. It will probably be the best opportunity we will eyer hava to secure a depot in town, and our citizens should bend all their energies to this end. It is of the first importance to our future that we should have a depot more accessible to the business iotere.-ts, and with good management we believe it can be obtained, if tba roposed new . T ' ' .- joad i built. In any event nothing can be lost ty making au earnest effort in that direction. An editorial in the Charleston Ne s and fl.iicuR-11-iiu Couiierof Monday tells of the advantages that will aicrue to that City through the building of the road, and as nearly all of these adyantages will come to Wadesboro,. as well as Charleston, the editorial is given below; a nnlicaiion has been made to the tsecre- i tary of State of Morth Carolina for a char ter for the Winston and Wadesboro KU road Couipauy, whicti will be organized for the purpose of buildiug aud operoimg a railroad from Wadesboro to nsiou tsaluu S. O. the leugth of ihe road will be about ninety miles, and it will run through the Counties of Anson, Siaoly, . Montgomery. Davidson aud Forsythe. The capital stock of the company will be $5u0,U00, divided Into nve tuousaud share ot the pair value of loo each. The six directors who will luauage the affairs of the eomuany for the first year are all from South Carolina: Messrs Thomas Wiison, of Cade's; John .McSween.ot Tiiunionsville; 1 A. Wilcox, of Florence; and W. E. Huger, H. C, libett, and F. Q.O'Neill, of Charleston, in their application for a eharfer the directors cer tity that more than one thousand dollars per mile has beeu sub-cribed to the capital stock of said company, and that 5 per cen tum of said subscriptions have been paid in good faith and in casti to the dim-tors, "We print to-day the Articles ot Associa tion filed with the Secretary of Slat) at ltaleigh, and a list of the subscribers to the stock of the company. Of the $i4:i.5i0snb ' scribed to the stock $115,00 has been sub scribed in Charleston, and when the objects of the road are fully understood this amount ought to be largely increased. We have known for some mouths that such an enter- .imk aifiiu iiinloi-HofiL-ulurutin lull I bd I prise was under consideration, but the pub lic "will be surprised to learn tnal the com pany has actually been organized, ai.,s that sutticient stock has alread been taken to secure a charter for ihe company. Thk tuct. and the additional tact that Mr. Thomas Wilson, who has achieved remark able success as a railroad builder, has been the moving spirit in the undertaking, will impress the community with the importance winch our business meu aud capitalists at tach to the road. "It is expected, of course, that wilt be tributary to the business the road , ttlL port, and we assume that it win be o ted directly iu this interest. Assurances upon this point must have been given b the Atlantic Coast Line, witn ntiich the road will connect at W adesboro, aud we lake for granted that advantageous t radio arrangements will be prjcucaule with the Southern and JiorJolt and Western at Wiuston-SalemT With such arrangements the road will be of immense value to the business of Charleston "The road,as we have noted, will be about ninety miles long, and wiir traverse a hoe nart of the Slateof North Carolina. Uv tlm Norfolk and Western connection at Wins- txi-halem, it will reach the Pocahontas coal fields of V lrgiuia, and will shorten the dis- tance between Cincinnati aud Charleston about three hundred miles, such a saving county officials only: aud in accor 111 distance ought to be of great advantaue , J ,, tU to Charleston, ana with anvthtug l.ke the ""ice with tbee opinions the regis proper energy on the part o our peopie would make Charleston, among oilier 1hins mipnf tuft moKt tlourwhiior irvuin ports on ihe Atlantic coast It is estimated XJT , in 6 per cent bonds.

It is expected that the max imum grade shall nol exceed 37. feet per mile, aud opening as it w ill a new liald tor Charleston and new opportunities it will be Charleston's taultif this port does not derive incalculable benefits from it." The following extract from an editorial in last week's Darlington News giyes eome idea of how McLaurin is regarded by the people of his own State. The News, in discussing McLaurin's attempt to bribe Gen. Hampton br making him postmaster at Columbia, says: "Why this solicitude on your part, Tohnuie McLaurin, for Gen. Hampton at this late da? The proper time to have shown such interest was when Geu. Hampton was a candidate to, tucceed himself in the Senate ia 1890. Where were yon then, Johnnie, and what were you doing?

It i3 understood that Mr. Pritchard's successor in the Uaited States Senate is to come from the western part of the State, and it g )es without saying that there will not be a dearth of candidates for the place. Indeed, though it will be nearly two years before the election there I are already quite a number of candidates in the field Among these the follow iug named gentlemen are, perhaps, the most prominent: Messrs. .Locke Craig, of A-sheville, Cyrus B.

George Rountree has called our atttentiou to n peculiar circumstauce connected with the ac tion of the United States district at torney for-the western district in nol piossiug the cases against the democratic registrars at Greensboro during the last term of the federal court held here. It will be remembered that a con ference was held in Greensboro be tween leading usionists of the State and it was publicly announced - by ' " the district attornej', and approved by Judge Boyd, that for the sake of peace aud good order the cases' would not be prosecuted further, but would be dropped from the docket. This announcement was somewhat start- liusr, to say the least of if, and many ople wondered why the republican party bad become so considerate of the interest of democratic registrars who had been bounded down with relentless tyranny since the August campaigu of last year. It will be borne iu mind that when the iirst arrests- 01 registrars were made last summer, a thorough in vestigation of the law was made, and I it was the unanimous opinion of the I 1 1(4;ncr iAWVprs, , f rh(1 t fn"r thp I leaalug lawyers OT tne S.ate tDat the federal courts could take no juris diction of election oilicers, who were , , ,- , ... . . . 1 holding an election for the state and trars were advised to do their duty under the state law and thev would I be protected from the federal courts The only case that could be found that was an apparent justibcation ot the conduct of republicans in prose cuting democratic registrars (for a state election) in the federal courts, was United States vs. Locey from Ky. This was au indictment ia the federal court against certain persons for preventing a number voters "of Africau descent" from voting at a purely state election." Judge EvaDS ot the district court of a Kentucky sustained the indictment and the de fendant appealed to the circuit court t 1 1 1 or apppeais, where a decision was rendered Febuary 12, 1901, which has recently been published. This I decision overrules Judge Evans and declares that the indictment cannot u ,f ,j 'in-, 1 1 1 .1 e sustained This knocked the bottom out of the only theory upon w hich the prosecution of our regis- trars was bassed, and the court at n 11 , , , c Greensboro had evidently learned of the opinion aud knew there was no merit iu the cases on the docket. People will not give the republican hllstnct ttor"ey and Judge much credit for their pretended love for peace and geod order when it is learned t'jat their prosecutions had beeu instituted contrary to law aud without foundation in justice. Theopiuiou recently handed down declares that theGffeentb amendment does not confer a right of suffrage upon any one, hor does ic Sr-cure or guaranteeany right of suffrage to any class of citizens. We shall continue to control our state elections without any fear of being drngged into the federal courtt-; and people will eventually learn that the rights of. suffrage are reguiaUtl entirely by state laws.

It i4 estimated that values shrunk $ 30,000, 000 in a few hours and rich men were made paupers almost in the twinkling of an eye. Ihe iiary was caused by a cor ner ia Northern Pacific stock, ai.d the corner was made possible by the strug gle ot conflicting interests to get con trol of this road. The Baltimore Sun prints the following incidenU of the day, taken frou frooi the New York papers: The court leading to the Stock Ex change di.or was thionged with automo biles and cabs lhursday. 1 rem one of theui a well dressed woman jumped just fore noou. Her lace was pale. e Ifaued u the arm of her negro butler as she walked up the t?ps. At the door she inquired for a broker, aiid wheutold he was not on the floor she turned to a bystander aud asked: "How is steel preferred. "It is now 83," he answered. Bursting iulo tears, the woman moan ed: God help me; I am ruined!"' She buried her face in a dainty "hand hetchitf; her bu'ler led ber back to her cari iage and jt was dr'ven away. On thefljorot the exchange stood ' Jlid Norton, of Street & Norton, who repre senls .lamps K h.eene. lie koew that the ballojii-like course of Northern Pacific meant ruin for many of his frieuds. Tears welled into his eyes as a number of them surrounded him. B vs." he exclaimed and his voice was ttetnulous, "1 am moie sorry than I cau tell you, but I can't help it? It's 110 fault of mine, belieye me." One broker whese name is a byword in the street looked around him during u lull iu the trading. Throwing up his bauds he said solemnly: "There's no use making any bones about it, I might as well tell y u all that at these prices I am insolvent. If tbey prevail I wiM not have a dollar in the world, w here last night 1 Dad more taan $1,000,000." W hile others were not as outspoken as he it was generally said by those who should knuw that at one time in the forenoon a vast majority of the excharge firms were in exaTilly the same situation. Such were the fluctuations that they could not say just w heru they stood. Had they stopped 10 figure they might have beeu sorry lor it. "It's just like crucifying one's friends," said liartwig Baruch, as he went to the dour of the exchange for a breath of fresh air. "It's something awful; I haye been forced to do things today which I would have given many dollars out of my own pocket could 1 have left undone. SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR. One striliing iustance of the day wa3 in the case f a man who had bought 109 shares ofNorthern Pacific common at 161 a share. He had bought it on Wednesday and when the stock begau to soar he looked tolerably cheeifal, vvliile the broker's office iu which he moved resem bled the iuterier of a mausoleum, and every chair contained a customer musin? on ruined hopes and exhausted margins. ength he t-aid to the bn ker s uiaua- "Better sell tnat Nipper Wall street nickname of Northern Pacific; formed fiom the initials N.

"It hasn't come in yet, and the people from whom we bought it say they cau't get it.. If I sell it fur you now how do 1 kuow we can deiivcr it, tomorrow V 'Great Scott!" was the answer,"I can't let $54,ooi s';ip away. Sell it and let's take a cha;ce." "Thousand for 300 Northern Pacfic 'c3sdi!' " cried the man who stood at the ticker. "Do .ycu hear that, mat,?" demanded the excited customer. "A thousand for the stock I'm long on at 161. There's over 000 pr- fit in it for me. Sell the stock, lor heaven's sake!" "I can't help it, Mr Brown," nplied the manager, firmly. "I'd like to uielie ycu your profit, but we can't take a chance at going short of that stock at any figure. If we sell it all and haven't got ihe ceiti ficates to deliver it meaus we're short of it.
