The Southern Railway Company, through its Land and Industrial Department, is taking ^t«ps to in augurate a line of work recently outlined by President Finley in which Western North Carolina is especially interested, Mr. M. A. Hays,, who has had long experience in development work of all kinds as a representa tive of the South. .*n Railway Land and Industrial Department in the New England, Eastern, Central, Western and Northwestern States, is to give special attention for‘the present to Western North Carolina. He is well equipped for this work by knowledge of the resources and opportunities of that region. He is making: a special study of those resources and opportunities and is to concentrate his work on a cam- > paign for more people and more in dustries for Western North Caro lina. Mr. Hays has oi)ened an offtce of the Land and Indtt&trial Depart ment in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a convenient location for reaching a large extent of territory in which there are many people likely to be come interested in the mountain and piedmont sections of the^outh. In addition to the work which Mr. Hays will give his special at tention to, a trained horticultural agent will be placed in Western North Carolina, with headquarters at Asheville, for educational and intensive demonstration work among the farmers and fruit grow ers already there and those who may settle in the region. This agent will co-operate with the state Agricultural Department, the United States Department of Agri culture, and all other agencies en gaged in advancing the farming in terests of the section. DEATH OF AUNT JENNIE SHARP. On Tuesday, Dec. 27th, another one of the old time colored women passed away. Jennie Sharp, fa miliarly known among the white people as “Aunt Jennie,” died at her home on the mountain ridge north of town, where she had lived for several years. Aunt Jennie belonged to the best type of the old time darkey, the type which is having, unfortunate ly, as the years go by, fewer and fewer representatives. She was a favorite among the whites because of her faithfulness and kindness and good sense. She came to this country after the war from Laurens county, S. C., and here raised a family of children, in her latter years living on the mountain with two of her unmarried sons. The Presbyterian Sunday school had its usual celebration of Christ mas Tuesday afternoon. A beau tiful holly Christmas tree stood on the platform, decorated with sil very tinsel and stars, on which were shed the light of many little candles. After a few songs ard recitations by the school children Santa Claus distributed the pres ents, which made many a little heart happy. DEATH OF MRS. BRACKEN Mrs. James Bracken,of the Glady Branch neighborhood, died early in the morning of Monday, Dec., 26th. She had been an invalid for many years. The interment took place at the old burying ground of Cath eys Creek Church on Tuesday. Mrs. Bracken, whose maiden name was Clarence Jane Batson, was born Dec.27 1843. Had she lived ona. more day she would have been ex actly sixty-seven years old. She was the daughter of Asby Batson, and a sister of Barney ^tson, a well known citizeii of Cherryfield. She leaves of living children four sons and three daughters. Like many women, who by reas on of physical weakness are debarr ed from leading an active life, she was noted for her goodness and kindness of heart. The News ex tends its sympathy to the bereaved relatives. DEATH OF ROBERT MOORE. On Friday, Dec. 23rd, Robert Moore, son of V. C. Moore, died after a few days illness from pneu monia. It was a sad Christmas day for Mr. Moore’s family when this beloved son was laid to rest in the Glazener burying ground. Rob was only fiifteen years of age, a bright boy, full of life and energy and a good pupil at school. But the fatal disease which cut him .down so early has no respect for youth and promise. He will be sorely missed by parents, brothers and sisters, and companions at the Round Top school.* PROF. ROGERS RESIGNS. The news records with regret, shared by a large number of people in this community, the decision of Prof. Rogers to discontinue his work here as principal of the pub lic school. Prof. Rogers has done good work here, unquestionably, and work much needed to be done. He never relaxed in his purpose to train thoroughly in good habits and system. It is no small matter to supervise and control a large body of school children from six to twenty-one, and its successful accomplishment requires both ex ecutive and administrative talents. Prof. Rogers left here on Wednes day for Quitman, Ga., where he will begin duty as superintendent of the public school. HEAVY VERDICT. Ends Winter’s Troubles. To many, winter is a season of trouble. The frost bitten toes and fingers, chapped hands and lips, chilblains, cold sores, red and rough skins, prove this. But such troubles fiy before Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. A trial convinces.

The United States district court at Philadelphia has refused to grant a new trial to the Philadelphia and Reading railway, the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Bethlehem Steel Com pany, recently convicted on charges of rebating. There art. a large number of counts in the indictments against the three companies, and if the maximum penal ty were imposed against each defend ant, the Bethlehem Steel Company would have to pay a fine of $3,200,000, the Lehigh Valley railroad $2,500,000 and the Reading railway $1,740,000. The jury, in rendering its verdict of f^ilty, however, recommended th® companies to the mercy of the court. CLIIMAX TO DARING ROBBERY. Lone Man Loots Bank, Then Takes His Life When Cornered. Ira Ward, 30 years of age, who, it ts said, this morning robbed the State Bank of Paradise, at Paradise, Kan., securing $3,500, killed himself when surrounded by a posse of farmers 14 miles north of that place. Ward’s suicide came as a climax to a most sensational robbery. He had made a hard ride for liberty, but as thQ farmers over the entire section had been notified by telephone the posse easily picked up his trail. For five hours he eluded the farm ers, but about sundown he was sur rounded.
