In Favor Of Railroad Bonds Mr. Allen Writes An Interesting Letter On This Question Mr. Editor: fTTMl win you give me space in your paper for a few thoughts upon the subject of a bond issue for the Randolph & Cumberland R. R. Now these bonds are not to be paid untill the road is running under a pub lished schedule to Winston-Sale a Nothing could be fairer than this proposition and the train would be running into Asheboro one year before bonds were issued. This road if bonds are carried will penetrate a section of country that has been hauling lumber and cross ties a distance of 10 to 20 miles for years, thus losing their time or timber and now an opportunity is opening up for them, I hope they will not rest untill these bonds are carried by a large majority. The sections to be considered are Asheboro, Grant, Brower, Cedar Grove, Farmer, Randleman and New Market. These sections are repre sented by as good people as ever lived and all they need is a chance. Now the oppsition to these bonds will tell you that it is dangerous to issue bonds, but they are care ful not to tell you that when you haul your produce, lumber, cross ties 15 and 20 miles that you loose the wear and tear of your wagon and team all for nothing. A man living in 3 or 4 miles, of a side track can make 3 and 4 trips daily, he can make enough in one day extra to pay his bond tax on $15,000 and this will be a fair estimate or average of the property in these townships. It is true many will pay on $10,000 and over, but a fair average will be $1500 to $2000. We have a lot of cowards in the county that will not express themselves untill they hear who is in the lead, this should not exist, we aught to have minds of our own and be willing to live and let live and at no time in our lives should we be willing to make serfs or slaves of our f el low men. There are a lot of peo ple living in the county today that do not know that the state owes over $50,000,000 in bonds for the construction of the Nroth Caro lina railroad and that pioperty under the administration of Elias Carr as governor of the state, leased the road bed to the South ern railroad for 99 years and are getting 7 per annum. Dr. J. M. Worth told me that at the time the Southern railroad was built by Greensboro that the most direct route from Raleigh to Charlotte was by way of Ashe boro. If the people had taken the proper steps the road would have passed through Asheboro if our forefathers had held out pro per inducements. Our village of 1885 would have been a large city and we could be enjoying good roads, good schools and in short we would be 50 vears in advance of our conditi jf today. In conclusion j: hope that the people of Asheboro will be will ing to show to thqpeople of these townships their ' appreciation of the wonderful effort that they are making. I have been informed by reliable men that the Southern Railroad had its representatives here on the night of the 13th of March, saying that they would build these roads without bonds and when they were asked to put this down in black and white they failed to do it, thus admitting by their acts that they were trying to side track the present move ment. Since the Southern railroad has sent their representatives here to effect these bonds the Norfolk Southern have had a man here telling the people that this Randolph & Cumberland proposition was all hot air and that the road would never be built. Now if it is hot air what are these roads sending paid at torneys here for? If it will never be built? What is it to them if the bonds will never be paid un til the road is running under published schedules? The people of Asheboro are dissatisfied with the present ar rangement for water works and in my feeble judgement the solu tion of this question is to vote these bonds for this rail road, thereby making Asheboro a great railroad center. It will cause new industries to spring up our population to increase at a very rapid rate and in short this railroad will infuse new life into the country as well as in the town and will cause a new era of prosperity. And last but not least, the rail road coming through these townships will pay a very large tax, making the good roads ques tion a possibility. With best wishes for a great victory. J. M. Allen.

A troop of mountain outlaws rode down out of the Blue Ridge mountains today to the Carroll county courthouse here, and assassinated the judge upon the; bench, the prosecutor- before the bar and the sheriff at the door in less time than it takes to tell it, while sentence was being pro-; nouncedupon Floyd Allen, one of their number. When the crack of the rifles died away only one member of the human fabric of the court Dexter Goad, the clerk was alive, and he had been wounded. Jurymen and onlookers were struck in the fusillade, but none were wounded seriously. Three jurorus, Fowler, Faddis and Kane, were seriously wound ed, and A. T. Howlett, Bruce Marshall Stuart Worrell, by standers, were more or less seri ously wounded. Floyd Allen, thepris:mer at the bar, was shot several times, probably not fattally.

Eight picked men remained i n the mountains through the night, guarding ap proaches to Devil's Den, the stronghold where the fugative outlaws are believed to be hiding prepared for their last stand. Early this morning a detachment of seventy-five detectives and citizens joined them after resting over night after an exhausting day yesterday. Every effort is being made to run down Sidna Edwards, a nep hew of the older Allen, with a wounded foot is supposedly in the mountains, trying to join his relatives. Officers believe when he is taken they can learn with CBrtainly the where abouts of the gang if it is true that the outlaws are entrenched in Devil's Den, supplied with ammunition and provisions, it would mean certain death to any one attempting . to openly reach the place. Plans will be laid for a systematic esige. That dynamite miy be used to rout the outlaws has been sug gested. Hilisville, Va., March 19 Mes sengers from the posses guarding the roads in the mountains have reported the courthouse assassins at a point about five miles from Floyd Allen s home.
