We receive almost every day, from a Publicity Bureau In New York, en velopes marked "News" and contain ing -printed slips of which the one re produced below Is a sample. The Bu reau Is In the habit of Informing us, on another printed slip, that there Is no charge for this service, which is paid for by those whose Interests are served by the dissemination of the news. With this In mind, the reader will readily see that the Inferences and deductions made below from the In terstate Commerce Commission's bulletin, are Intended to calm the ris ing tide of Indignation against the railroads for the slaughter caused by accidents on them. ' The railroads, however, as will be seen. Jump out of the frying pan Into the Are; for, If we grant their contention that it Is the inefficiency of their' employes which causes the accidents, and not overwork and excessive hours of serv ice, then they are impaled on the other horn of the dilemma: they employ cheap labor In order to be able to pay dividends on watered stock. , Here Is the news Item referred to: 8HOWS CAU8E8 FOR MANY RE CORDED RAILROAD ACCIDENTS Commerce Commission Reports for Five Years Fix Blame for Nearly Four Hundred Collisions Few Due to Excessive Hours. - New York, March 15. Summarizing the quarterly bulletin which has been Issued by the Interstate Commerce Commlssston during the last five-year period, throws a flood of light on the cause of railroad collisions. Exam' Inatlon has been made Ofthe nineteen bulletins which report and classify 448 accidents of this kind. Of these the Commission attributes 317 to "neg lect or trainmen and englnemen. Accidents occurring as a result of negligence "when working excessive hours was coincident" number only 24. The number of people killed in this class of accidents, was 20, while' the . accidents In the first class formed 70 per cent, of the to tal, resulting in 80 per cent, of the fatalities (904), and were responsible for 70 per cent, of he money Iobs ot 14,777,215. To show the efficiency of signal systems, the Commission's bulletins classify collisions, (1) in automatic isignal systems, (2) la places not so equipped, (3) those of which the automatic signal would have given warning; and (4) those In which, the Commission holds, blocR signal sys tems would have affqred no additional his following the Democratic doc trine."' , ,1 Mr. Bryan charged that the slump In stocks, of which men . In high finance complained, was caused by the very men who are now complain ing. .. - '. . If I may venture a : prediction," he added, "i would say that In the fight that's coming the Democratic party will be looked upon as the pro tector of the small Investor against manipulation of the sharks that have obtained power In Wall Street." Mr. Bryan received a second ova tion when be concluded his address. George Fred William referred to Mr. Bryan as the "acknowledged lead er of the national Democratic party," saying directly to Mr. Bryan: 'I have no right, sir, to place you In the position of a ' candidate for office until you have authorized it, but I take no undue advantage pi my position, and I believe I represent the sentiment of the Massachusetts Dem ocracy when I say that the success of our party rests upon your shoul ders, whether you - will or not. If President Roosevelt abides by his re fusal to become a candidate, no Re publican, unless he be more radical than the President, can prevent the election of William Jennings Bryan to the Presidency."

In the1 first classification there are 18 accidents, only one of which was due to failure of the system, as againBt 17 for which failure to obey or set signals was directly responsi ble. Only two collisions out of the 31 In class 2 were caused by failure of signals. The remaining 29 were due to negligence of employes. More than 331 collisions are classed as preventable by the automatic block signal system, but It is pointed out that there Is no reason to believe that all of these would have been avoided by signals since in the first two classes 94 per cent, of the accidents were due to errors of signalmen and disregard of signals by trainmen and engineers. The conclusion drawn by railroad authorities from this showing is that the true explanation of eight out of ten accidents is unmistakably the' fail ure of employes to obey orders made for the protection of themselves and the public. Confirming this view, a growing de terioration In obedience to rules Is given by the Railroad Gazette as the cause of numerous accidents, that pa per saying: "Effective discipline and uniform obedience to orders by the trainmen and trackmen can never be secured The ideal can be approximated. It Is a general prevailing opinion among PR Rnt R9R officials that in this country we are U. UUA UAUi nt unnroxlmatlne the ideal: we are retrograding. A lack of zeal and fidelity among railroad employes seems to be growing. It is the experience of rail road managers that comparatively few accidents are due to the fact that men responsible for them have been on duty for an excessively long pe riod, . BRYAN 8 AYS DEMOCRACY 18 VIN. DICATED BY R008EVELT. Says a Boston telegram: William Jennings Bryan was the euest Friday of the Democratic State Committee of Massachusetts, and at a banquet at the Qulncy House deliver ed .an address in which he touched uDon various points of Democratic doctrine, which, he decared, had been vindicated By recent events. Mr. Brvan received a great demon stratlon, all those present standing and cheering repeatedly. State Dem ocratic Chairman Feeney introduced him as "the foremost figure in Amer ican ' statesman ship," ana expressed his doubt if any office Mr. Bryan THE RAILROADS AND THE PUBLIC- Progressive Farmer. There is great consternation now among the railroads of the country. The demand for a two-cent a mile passenger fare, has become general, and State legislature after State legis lature has yielded to this demand. Even Pennsylvania's State Capitol, corrupt and contented, has beard the voice of the people; and It is said that the Tennessee legislature which Is now to re-assemble will prob ably have to declare for two cents a mile. The Interstate Commerce Com mission, too, is just beginning its work of regulating freight rates, and a great number of States are trying, like North Carolina, to prevent the discriminations heretofore In force. In the face of all these facts, the question arises: Is this clamor for a stricter accounting with railways dem agoguery or statesmanship? Is It a thing that the conservative, square dealing farmer should encourage or discountenance? False Foundation Is the Cause. , The answer is that the present anti rallroad sentiment is retribution, the inevitable penalty of Nature and of Justice for the unjust practices of which the great transportation lines have been guilty heretofore. As in nearly all cases of retribution, some of the innocent" must suffer with the guilty. As it was Bald in the days of the old prophets: "Our lathers have eaten sour grapes and our own teeth are set on edge." It is because the early builders of our transportatlop Interests wrought corruptly, because they built on a false and artificial foundation, that the whole structure now grows less steady. It Is unfor tunate, perhaps, that Nature does not punish immediately, unfortunate that she allows an abuse to continue until others suffer besides those originally guilty, -hut so ILis, and so it Is with our railroad interests to-day., "Noth ing false, nothing artificial, can en dure," is the truest thing that Emer son ever said, and our transportation interests must pay the penalty for building on "the false and artincial. Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, de clared last week that $7,000,000,000 of the total of $13,000,000,000 of Ameri can railway capital is "watered stock" fraudulent Issues sold to the public with the hope that rates would be made high enough to make the people pay dividends not only on the real capital Invested, but oh the billions of ficticious values. Not only did the manager? of many of the great trans portation lines charge higher rates than they rightfully should, but what was worse they set themselves to kill and to make alive; to build up this town which the railway magnates favored (possibly because in it tney owned much property), 'and to dis ci lmlnate against and Injure other towns. The South especially has sui fered much In this respect. A shipper from Cincinnati said to us a few days ago: Sanforu, N. C, is twenty-eight miles nearer to me than New York, but the freight rate on my goods to New York is 23 cents and to san ford 83 V4 cents." And so the real freight problem Is not to lower rates, but to equalize them, to prevent the discriminations that build certain sec tions and pull down . others. Then again, legislatures and Congresses have often been corrupted by rallroaa influences, Railroad Commissions (cre ated for thq peoples protection) si lenced, newspapers bought or estab lished, and public men captured oy free passes, attorneyships, or politi cal assistance. In nearly every State these things have happened, and na tionally the situation has Deen even worse, l'here Is little doubt but that Cleveland and McKlnley were largely governed by the wlBhes of the great masters of transportation. ' THE ANTI-TRU8T LAW. . . We have been requested to' publish the full text of the anti-trust act pass ed by the late legislature, which, with the supplemental, act also passed, to as follows:.; '. y An Act Prohibiting Conduct Withfc the State of North Carolina-Whloji , -Interferes With Trade and Coni i merce. -. ::,U The General Assembly of North Cafr . ollna Do Enact: Section 1.

Watterson, who has been visit ing Cadiz, writes some things about the.sht ry wine that finds its way to Americ; that are disturbing to lovers f that beverage. It must be disturbi lg to Mr. Watterson himself, who is aid to excel In the preparation of ; lobster a la Newbourg. for that famous dish of gourmets depends upon Its"s1ierry "qualification." Says the doughty Kentucklan: "One naturally turns from Cadiz to Jerez, which is but an hour's ride distant, the seat of the oldest and most famous vintage of Spain, known to us as sherry There are as many sorts of Jerez in Spain as clarets in France. Jerez lends it self to adulteration more readily than claret. The lighter and better, indeed, reauires to be 'stiffened' be fore it can stand oversea transit. Sometimes It is 'stiffened' with very good brandy, but oftener with very bad, and, consequently, the sherry we get in the United States is almost as vile as the champagne. The Span lards thefselves only drink the 'pale' and 'dry' products of the vineyards which produce the Jerez grape all over the south end of the peninsula. They have a sweet tooth, as a rule, and like the rich, saccharine juice of the muscatel. It is almost a cordial. From it and wood alcohol and burnt almonds, with a small infusion, of the refuse sherry, a poison is compounded for the American market. It Is good to kill at a thousand yards. They, too, 'remei.iber the Maine.' " PRE8IDENT RANSDELL INCLUDES IMPROVEMENT OF THE CAPE FEAR RIVER IN HIS REC- ' 0MMENDATION8 Hon. ."03. E. Ransdeil, member of Congrc ;j from Louisiana, Presldsnt of the National Rivers and Harbon Con gress, and member of the Rivers and II trbors Committee of tL 3 House of Representatives, made a long, elab orate, and very able speech, during the late session of Congress, on the wisdom and necessity of waterway Improvement. Iq the course of his remarks, he spoke as follows, Includ ing, i.: v111 be seen, our Cape Fear River mprovement, In his recommen- datSc: Th; situation in the Northwest Is indicative of the true situation in evgry part of the country. I was told on November 15 last by a prominent shipper of flaxseed from Chicago that he had tried to contract for the ship ment of 500,000 bushels of that ce real to New York about the- 1st ot November, and the earliest delivery promised him was the 10th of Janu ary. Indeed, he was warned that It wpuld be unsafe to contract for tide wat'T delivery before the latter part of January, by which date tthe Argen tine flaxseed would be In the market and the price reduced 3 cents per bushel, and at the same time all other grain dealers had similar warning not to make contracts for delivery before the last of January, 1907. The president of the Oregon Lum bermen's Association told me on the 7th of last December that the con gestion at the mills of Oregon and Washington was so great that his own firm one of the largest in the West had been unable to fill orders which had been on their books for. a year. Hr said that if the congestion for the next year remained as had as during the past year he fears that a number of the thoroughly responsible milling firms on the Pacific coast will be com pelled to go Into bankruptcy simply and solely boctu-c of inability to ship their products, which are in active demand and would readily sell If de livery could be made. A prominent official of the National Harvester Company, of Chicago, one of the largest and wealthiest corpora tions in the United States, which man ufactures vast quantities of harvest ing machinery of all kinds, told me about the middle of November last that his firm had contracted in Janu ary, 1906, for a large warehouse in North Dakota and had agreed to fur nish the contractor the heavy tim bers for the same, which could be obtained only from the Pacific coast He said that In spite of their utmost exertions to obtain that lumber, deliv ery was delayed for many months, and that his., firm would be mcity it it escaped by the payment of $5,000 damages to the contractor because of failure to furnish the lumber as agreed. Examples might be multi plied if necessary, but everyone ad mits that there is great freight con gestion everywhere; hence I deem it unnecessary to pursue tnis oiscubs- lon further. Now, what can we do to relieve the situation? Mr. Hill tells us that It will take ,73,333 miles of railroad which will cost $5,500,000,000, and savs that the united states rs un able t raise that sum those in North- Carolina and Virginia by proper expenditures on the Caps Fear, the James, and the canal from Norfolk to Beaufort; those ln-Peflnsyl-vanla and New Jersey by Improving the Allegheny, the Youghlogheny, the Delaware, and the Passaic; those in New York and the Eastern States by co-operating with the Empire State to make its great Erie Canal of the the 'greatest utility, and by canalizing the Connecticut River? Why not Improve the mighty Co lumbia River of the West and give to the people of that vast region o llef from their great freight conges tion? Why not canalize the beautiful and historic Willamette? Would It pay to make these Im provements? It would pay beyond the shadow of a doubt; It would pay better than any Investment this Gov ernment has ever made. It Is a fact established beyond dispute that water transportation costs on an average In this country only one-sixth as much as transportation by rail, and when ever waterways, are thoroughly im proved not only does a large quanti ty of freight move thereon at rates only one-sixth as high as those by rail, but the rates on competing rail roads are very materially reduced, and for every dollar of the people's money Invested by Congress annual ly in the improvement of our water ways at least $2 a year are saved to the people in reduced rates. .FAYETTEVILLE MARBLE 'AND GRANITE WORKS, Strictly First-class Work.

But there is one form of transportation in which we can help. No State or comunity. can in terfere with the free use of navigable waters; and as the Government owns them, it is its dulj to improve them as much and as rapidly as possible.

Why not extend this great waterway to Chicago through the Illinois River, thereby connecting with an endless chain of water the matchless system of our Great Lakes and their tribu tary rivers and canals with the 16, 000 navigable miles of the "Father of Waters" and his tributaries, thereby connecting our great inland seas and their many large and wealthy cities with the Gulf of Mexico, the Panama Canal, and the Oreint by the best and shortest water route? Why not im prove the great Missouri River, which the engineers tell us is navigable up to Fort Benton, Mont., 2,285 miles from Its mouth, thereby relieving the appalling congestion in North Dakota and Montana which now exists, and carrying invaluable benefits to all the citizens of its imperial valley? Why not give the Upper Mississippi at leabt '1 feet of water up to St. Paul? Would not the situation be relieved bv improving the Ohio River to a depth of 9 feet from Pittsburg to Cai ro a distance of 1,000 miles through the great freight producing section of the Union, and the most populous and prosperous river valley on our continent? Why would not the con gestion In Tennessee and northern Alabama be relieved by Improving the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, which are splendid streams, suscepti ble of first-class navigation for many hundreds of miles? Why would It not relieve the congestion In the new State of Oklahoma, In Arkansas, in northern Texas and Louisiana if we properly Improve the Arkansas, the Red. and the Ouachita Rivers r wny not help along the people of Missis sippi by Improving the Yazoo and tne Big Sunflower; those of Alabama and Georgia by deepening the Black War rior and the Chattahoochee tnose or Texas by canalizing the Brazos and the Trinity; those In eastern Georgia and South Carolina by improvement on the Savannah and the Santee; A More H.jutiful Fayetteville.

Going to plant any trees or flowers? Going to paint the fence or tear down the unsightly rhd In th rar or sod the parking in front of the house or trim iho shrubory? What are yuu going to do to add to the physical appearance of Fayetteville? To get back to Rome, which was not built In a day, do you know how It was kept clean?

Are you sweeping In front of your own door, or are you waiting for council, that great something which many peo ple expect to usher in the milium, to send around sweepers. Are you per sonally doing anything to make Fay etteville bigger and better and bright er, or are you sitting around wait ing for some one to call upon you to- join a procession? Little neighborhood clubs are good thing. Organize one on your square and let it have for its. purpose the beautifying of your square. It would work wonders if we could have such an organization upon every square in the city, wouldn't it? It vould be easier for the big municipal organiza tion to accomplish something, too, if there were Buch societies all over town. Let's move up a notch right here at home. Not next year, but this.
