I hope.however, I may have the pleasure cf meeting and greeting my friends in old North Carolina in the near future." There is a queer ease, ou the docket of the Supreme Court from the flf'.h dictrict. A negro was wanted in South Carolina for murder. The sheriff of Cumberland county, this State, was on the lookout for the criminal and near Fayctteville a conductor on the train painted out as the man a negro who was arrested and jailed. But he prov ed to be the wrong man and now ho sue3 the railroad company for $3,000 itamaefa. It Is certainly a case in which the liability of a railroad to damages is strained to the utmost. At the last session of the Legisla ture Prof. Holmes, at the instance of the "Good Reads Association," secured the enactment of a road law which applies to 47 counties. The Supreme Court Is now called upon to pass on the validity of the law, there being two appeals for injunction cases. The jury In the suit of L. J. Andrews cf Durham, administrator 'of C. M.

C, Special. It is nmctieallv settled that the United States will look after the interests of Great Britain in the Transvaal in the event of war. Although Great Britain has made no formal request for such action cn the part of the United States it is believed that there is a perfect un derstanding to that effect between the representatives of the two govern ments. Mr. 'lower, the British charge d'affaires, had another conference with Secretary HilL at the State Depart ment Wednesday, at which it is believ ed that an understanding was reached that the United States would look al ter British interests in the Transvaal in case of the withdrawal of the Brit- Telegraphic Briefs.

Track Tanks For Freight Engines. The use of track tanks by which lo comotives of high speed passenger trains may take vater without stop ping Is almost universal on the larger Eastern roads, .where fast expresses are the rule. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has a numben between Wash ington and Philadelphia, and intends to equip the entire main line in the future. This decision was recently arrived at through the use of passen ger locomotives, equipped with water scoops, on fast freight trains. It was found that much time was saved, dan ger from stopping being reduced to a minimum and cost of running lessen ed. The transportation officials made some calculations ard the figures showed a saving of no small sum, it track tanks are used for slow freights on the divisions where business is very heavy. The extra stops for water take mudh time and the wear and tear on equipment is no small matter, and if five stops on each train can be elim inated between Cumberland and Balti more where trains aTe the thickest, the saving will be large. Edwin JTarkhanVs Poem, The ITuae Of Brotherhood. Mr. Markham's most recent poem, The Muse of Brotherhood, is one of the few really great poems that the close of the century has produced. In it Mr. Markham voices a lofty optim ism that is at once more impressive and more convincing than the notes of hopelessness and despair that char acterizes the Man with the Hoe. At the same time he nobly sets forth the principal of that universal brother hood which says: "My love is mightier than heavens where Taurus wheels. My love is deeper than the pillared skies; High as that peak in Heaven where Milton kneels. Deep as that grave in Hell where Caesar lies." The mose of the Brotherhood will appear exclusively in The Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia, in its Issue of October 21. The North.
