A moat encouraging view of conditions in the Southeast la presented in the annual report of the Southern Railway company, which states that one of the most Import' ant factors in the strength of the com' pany's position Is the Industrial and agricultural development of the ter- ritory traversed by Its HneB. The marked agricultural progress due to the general adoption of approved methods by the farmers of the South' east, particularly the increase of dl- versified farming, and the diversifica tion of industries are noted. The management of the company, with a broad conception of Its rela Hons to the public, is making the rail way not merely a carrier of the peo ple and products of the South, but also a helpful factor in Southern de velopment The report sets out the efforts being put forward to increase the prosperity of the people already in the Southeast, and, to attract in- vestors and desirable settlers to the territory served by the lines of the Southern railway. A review Is given of the work being done by the cotton culture department, which is teach ing farmers, in localities where it is possible the boll weevil may spread, to successfully combat the insect should it ever appear in their fields, and thus maintain their production instead of having to learn how to deal with it after it appears. The work of this department will be ex tended to cover all territory along the company's lines to which there is even a remote danger that the weevil may spread. The importance to the South of maintaining its mon opoly of cotton production is pointed out in connection with the vigorous efforts being made to raise cotton in other parts of the world. The re port shows that the company is also encouraging live stock raising ana dairying in its territory. Recognition is given the newspapers of tne bouta east for their valuable assistance and also to commercial organizations, to banks and individuals who have aid ed the company in all its efforts to advance the agricultural prosperity of the Southeast. The more important additions and betterments completed and undertak en during the yeaj are shown, among them the double track lines through Lynchburg, Va., and into Chattanooga, Tenn.. 38 miles of double track tie tween Atlanta and Gainesville, Ga., modern lap-sidings on the line be tween Atlanta and Macon, Ga., Knox- ville and Chattanooga, Tenn., and Morristown, Tenn., and Ashevllle, N. C, new freight station and office building at Atlanta, additional freight station and yard facilities at Maoon, and additional wharf facilities at Mo bile, Ala, N .. .. .Th: Old Rosin Beds in Demand Mr. A. B. MiDona'd, who was here last week, informed The Ex press that it was thought that the old rosin bads would yield the own ers a good pre lit. These ros'n beds were found toear where turpentine stills were operated when that was one of the leading industries of this section of North Carolina. The turpentine was distilled and the re. fuse, or what was thought to be in ferior rosin, not worth hauling to Kayette villa, was carried out and dumped in a pile or in some stream. As turpentine is now in such great demand and as the supply is so liau ited, these rosin beds will probably be bought by parties who will ship the rosin to Savannah, where jt is bringing from $6 to $7.50 ter barrel. A gentleman who is engaged in buy ing np and shipping this resin, call ed to see Mr. McDonald at his home Lear Vass a few days ago for the purpose of seeing his rosin beds with a view to buying them. Mo doubt rosin beds can be found in this sec tion where Btills were operated years ago, We see it stated thai parties are engaged in digging np a rosin sea in Hoke county and that it is thought that it will produce at leaBt one thousand barrels. There is money in that pile of rosin. The still from which it was dumped must have been operated for many years. Thirty years ago hundreds of turpentine stills were in operation in the long leaf pine belt of the State. This was before the saw mills got in their work. For years Wilmington was one of the greatest nvval stores markets in the South. That was when North Carolina was appropriately called the "Tar Heel State." .. . , A ladder at angle of 44.5 degrees is more stable than the footing of the man who depends upon what a majority of the voters will do. "We suppose that there's a reason for it, remarked Squire Splicem," as he pronounced the solemn words that made them one, but we'll just leave off the finding of it until that when the eyes of the blind Bhall be opened. If the advocates of thepiit-log drag would do a bit of personal demouseration work, some of the unbelievers might U made over into converts. . 5T Ueod Ano'.W L'an'o L i. la the kail off tsa kouso of r;?c- -- atlve there is a palsAlaf of CM2 WMMagtra.

The question Is often debated as to whether persons who lose their live in a, fire developing with great rapid lty undprpo extreme physical suffer; lng. Au nuthoritative opinion Is ex pressed by the New York Medical Jour nal, whieb says: "Unnecessary an guish of mind has probably been felt by relatives of unfortunate workers killed in factory fires by reflection on' the supposedly agonizing pain caused by such n death. Where a great bulk of highly inflnmmable substances is quickly consumed In a closed space the result Is the production of larfre quan tities of rnrbon monoxide. This ga. it is well known, combines with the haemo?obln of the blood to form a compound that refuses to combine with oxjfen. The result is a speedy and probably painless asphyxiation be fore the flames have had a chance to attack the bodies of the victims."
