The general public may not have taken notice of it, but the traveling public has that quite recently there has been a great improvement In the matter oflt keeping up the passenger schedules. Trains have been running with 'more regularity within the past three months than within the past three years. The passenger trains are now generally about on time.. It Is the exception that a passenger has to wait one to three hours for a train as had been so frequently' the case. In some . instances, the trains arc painfully on time.. People from the mountain section of the Norfolk it Western, bound east, reach Lynch- All matters pertaining to game laws are of interest just now, in view of the discussion in the Legislature. In Blacksburg, Va., one can "scarcely walk tle streets without danger of being -tripped up by bird dogs, yet these dogs can be of use in their profession only Ave days In the year. Hunting In Montgomery county, where Blacksburg is located, is per mitted only between the 20th and. 25th of December. The Legislature passed the law and the board of su pervisors of Montgomery county sees According to the tentative programme for the Henry Hudson celebration, the exercises for the first day will take place cn Sept. 25th. but as the most important Jewish holiday, the Day of Atonement, will be observed on that date, the Jews of New York hope to have the date changed so that they may take part In the celebration. By act of Congress Baltimore is to have at last a memorial to Francis Scott Key, a Maryiander and the author or "ine Star-Spangled Banner," a handsome bronze tablet having been ordered to be put on the flag staff at Fort McHenry. The tablet will be sutiably inscribed and will constitute the only memorial of Key that has ever been put up in Baltimore. Consul John H.

Game in that section there is sttll some 40,000 vehicles imported burg at 9:25. The Southern train from Washington reaches Lynchburg at 9:05. If th Norfolk & Western Is on time and the Southern is thirty minifies lat-. passengers for Char lotte can catch the Southern and eave six hours. But the trouble i3 that both the Southern and Norfolk & Western are on time, nine times out of ten, and the Lynchburg con nection does not work. It is even worse than that for on occasion, the Norfolk & Western coming into the Lynchburg depot has been known to stop just at the shed to let the Southern train get by and go on. Thi3 happened a night or two ago when three passengers for Charlotte sitting helpless in a Norfolk & Western car, saw their train pull in and out. whereas, if they could have caught it. they would have reached home almost by the time they left Lynch burg. It looks as if the Southern might slack up a little and the Nor folk & Western put on more speed to make this important connection, more especially from the fact that if they could not secure a berth on the 3:42 train, which is all Pullman. passengers would have to stay over In Lynchburg until 2:35 o'clock the next afternoon. every year.

In addition to those imported, it is estimated, some 40,000 or 50.000 are manufactured in the country Lynchburg Is partial to altitudes. If every year. The total number of bicycles was about to be exterminated. All that part of Virginia is taking meas ures to stop the bird slaughter. one who is hung up there for an in definite period wants to consult the ever deceptive train bulletin board, he has to climb a set of Jacob's lad ders to get to it. Lover's Leap was not famed in song and story as It should have been. We say "was," because Lover's Leap Is no more. It was a sacrifice to commercialism. The' famous rock overhung the track of the Tidewater Railroad. The road could neither go under nor around it, so dynamite was applied and in one blast one of the South's most famous natural won ders was destroyed. The Norfolk & Western is now double-tracked from Lynchburg to the coal fields. The work of double tracking the Southern from Wash ington to Charlotte is In progress. Pretty soon the Pennsylvania Rail road is going to lose its prestige to the South.

I AFFAIRS IN NORTH CAROLINA A i DAILY INCIDENTS, FA CTS AND COMMENT CA THERFD FROM i t THE NEWSPAPERS OF THE STATE ; LAYING OFF MEN. Southern Railway Adopting a Policy of Retrenchment. Greensboro Record. Effective to-day the Southern Rail way will lay off one man on every section force throughout the entire system and will make cuts in many other was's. The order will be effec tive for the remainder of this month and the men will 'be reinstated the first of February. It is estimated that at least $500,000 will be saved in The effect of the discontinuance 1 will be to lay off forty-nine men In this division of the Southern on sec tion force's one man on each force. A night and day shifting force will be discontinued also and altogether near ly sixty men will be Out of work in this division for the next ten days. No reason has been assigned for this retrenchment. 1 Narrow Escape in New York Hotel. Industrial News. Jo Clary, a Greenaboro boy who has lived in New York for several years, came near losing his life by asphyxiation, in a New York hotel one day this week. He was lying at the door unconscious when the gas leak age was discovered by one of the ho tel porters. A man named JoTinson, In whose room Clary was spending the night, was found in bed dead. An nmhuiance was summoned and Clary was taken to a hospital where he SPARKLERS. The railroads seem to be lmprov lng all along except in the matter of connections. The grouchy ticket agents are disappearing. It 13 only the very young fellows -who. while acting -as substitutes, sell tickets and carry the responsibility of the rail , . road company on their Individual shoulders, that give the enquiring people the haughty answer. The3e striplings are a thorn irt.the side of the traveling public. The development of Southern coal mining and railroad building is one of the marvels of the day. The Tide water, the road that Rogers built from the coal fields to Norfolk, and the Carolina. Clinchfield & Ohio, the two most expensively constructed railroads In the world, constitute the most important railroad enterprises In the South in many years. And their construction leads to the devel opment of new coal mines. The mountains in the western part of Vir ginia are being opened . up and in a few years coal mining will be car ried on as extensively there as in' Pennsylvania. The next step will be the mining of coal in western North Carolina, for there ll" as much coal under the mountains there as under the mountains of Virginia. Some remarkable things are seen once in a while in the way of rail road maps for Instance one that has been published by the Atlantic Coast Line. By it, one can go direct from Charlotte, through Lincolnton, Newton. Hickory, Lenoir, Colletts ville, Mortimer. Pineola and Cran berry, to Elizabethtown, Tennessee, and from Marion to Johnson City by a remarkably circuitous route. The Huckleberry train, which runs between Chrlstiansburg and Blacks burg. passes over Rogers' Tidewater road at a newly developed coal mine. The Tidewater, which is a Standard Oil Interest road, as well as a coal road, is establishing a big Standard Oil plant at Chrlstiansburg. and fill ing that section of the country with money and new life. Roanoke has more open land and less population by 10.000 than Char lotte, yet it makes a monstrous show of depot and railroad yards. The train sheds, stairways and elevated crossings are more extensive than in the depot of the New York Central, at Buffalo. It is the busiest sort of a looking place. And with the proper kind of railroad schedules and con-' sections, Roanoke would be brought Into close neighborhood with Char lotte. The town has one morning and two afternoon papers, all three of the first class, and if they would unite In talking up a better Roanoke and Charlotte service something might be done to the advantage of both towns. " . For years Lynchburg has been fa vored with soecial privileges in the war of freight rates, yet the very . Mcon would have give him her vote, 9kfeK r v a that w . best that city now claims in the way As a matter of course. Colonel Pull man Is out for every dollar he can get, yet in his scheme of observation and chair cars in his Pullman trains on the Southern, he is a benefactor to the traveling public. For a dollar extra, people can get the benefit of the through fast trains. They can ride in the luxurious surroundings of a Pullman" car, although in a restrict ed space, a, seat something like a straight jacket for comfort, or they can revel In the luxury of the obser vation car like a nabob. The trip in the observation car, by the way. is worth a good deal more than the price. If only for the fascination of seeing the double tracks spinning out and away behind the train.

Mangum Turner to Wil- ilmington. Lexington Dispatch. .- Mr. W. P. Mangum Turner, attor- nej'-at-law, who came to Lexington a year ago. has decided to move to Wil mington for the practice of his pro fession and will leave about the first of the month. Mr. Turner, however, will attend the next term of Davidson court, having a number of cases to look after. It is to be regretted that he leaves our town, but the numerous friends he has made in Lexington wish him well in his new location. In spite of the usual difficulties that be set the pathway of the young lawyer, Mr. Turner has done remarkably well since coming here. He is a man of vigorous ability and force of charac ter, and is well qualified for the prac tice of law. That he will succeed in Wilmington is a matter of course. Thfl news of the misnap was brought to Greensboro by a letter written by Clary to shis mother, who lives here. The letter -goes on to say that Johnson invited Clary to spend the night with him in his room. Eith er intenionally or by mistake Johnson left the jet open with fatal result to himself, while Clary had a narrow escape. A" rui The First Boy Eor School. the Training Tramps Caused Big Fire. Rocky Mount Record. It Is generally believed by persons in the neighborhood of Halifax cross ing that the fire that destroyed about a hundred cords of wood and seven freight cars at that place at an early hour Saturday morning was caused by tramps. A fire was seen there during the early part of Friday night and it is believed to have been caus ed by their carelessness in handling fire. The wood that was destroyed had not been loaded into the cars and no bill of lading had been issued and for this reason the loss will be on the individuals and not the trans portation company. The plant of the Virginia Polytech nic Institute at Blacksburg is an in-, dustrial city In Itself. A North Caro lina man is at the head of it. This State could have an educational plant to match it. if it had the right sort of men In the Legislature. Virginia Is lavish in Its appropriations for ed-. ucational institutions. North Carolina would do well to follow the pace of the Old Dominion. PROSPERITY IS MONROE. The Chronicle is glad to notice evi dences of prosperity in its neighbor ing town of Monroe. Business there is coming along at a lively pace. As evidence of this fact The Journal says that the stockholders of the Bank of Union held a meeting last Tuesday and re-elected the board of direct ors. The directors, at a meeting held after their re-election, elected the old officers and declared a 5 per cent. semi-annual dividend, besides adding a good sum to the surplus fund. The stockholders of the First Na tional also held their annual meeting on Tuesday. The usual semi-annual dividend' of 5 per cent, was declared and the surplus fund Increased and undivided profits increased-) to $10, 000, which is a fine showing since the bank was changed into a national one and the capital increased to $100,000, The bank's total assets are .now half a million. On account of other business, Capt. W. C. Heath de clined re-election and Mr. R. A. Mor row, than whom there is no better business man nor public spirited citi zen in Monroe, wa3 elected president, and all the other old officers were reelected. The directors of "the Savings, Loan and Trust Company met yesterday and declared the usual semi-annual dividend and set aside $500 to the surplus fund. It Is a well-known fact that the cotton mills of the South, and Indeed of the whole country, were greatly Injured In their operations by the panic. Notwithstanding this the Ice borlee and Everett Mills, the meet ing of whose stockholders was held last Wednesday, declared a dividend of 4 per cent. Louisville Courier-Journal. Hubby.

"Don't you think that witness memory is sadly deficient?" said one lawyer. "Not a bit. of it." answered the other. "Sometimes it takes a fine memory to remember what to forget." Chicago Dally News. "That a nice-looking chap at the next able." said the young man who was treating his best girl to a lobster supper. "Is he a friend of yours?" "Yes. in deed." laughed the pretty girl. "Well, er I think I'll ask him to Join us." "Oh. this is so sudden!" "What's so sudden?" "Why why. that's our young, minister." ODD THINGS IN THE NEWS. The United States revenue cutter service has recently added to its fleet the new life-saving tug Snohomish, which has been built for service In the roujfh seas of the Pacific coast in the vicinity of Neah bay. She is equipped with the Miller marine breeches bouy for life saving, and her sphere of operations will be con fined to such stretches of the coast line as are not provided with any life service stations on shore.

Wbrth Hatch is the first boy to ar rive in this city to be placed in the Jackson Training School. The boy arrived yesterday from Burlington, and is happily quartered at the insti tution. He is quite eontent with the surroundings and promises to prove himself a splendid fellow. He is 12 years or age, Drignt ana penecny willing to abide by the discipline of the school. It might be interesting to state that the first morning alter his arrival there he was on good terms with Superintendent Thompson and bantered the gentleman for sprint from the dormitory building to the well. MS A Lake Near Waynesville. Wilmington Star. Waynesville is under consideration as a site for the location of the large lake to be constructed at some sum mer resort in . western North Caro Una. The directors are holding a meeting in Nashville, Tenn., to choose a site for this lake, and.it is thought that it will be constructed about half a mile below Waynesville, the loca tion having already been made by the engineer. The lake will be one mile and a half in length and three-fourths of a mile in breadth. Still Another Railroad. . Lexington Dispatch. A railroad is projected 'between Laurinburg and Gibson, and stock has been subscribed. If completed it will mean much to both towns. An other piece of railroad news is that the North Carolina Midland will be completed to Leaksville, as Originally planned. It was built from Moores- ville to Winston, and a right of way was secured to carry it on to the Rockingham town. The road was surveyed and partly graded several years ago.

Representa tive Hepburn, ( chairman of the House committee on interstate commerce, who with the members of his com mittee and other 'representatives, has returned from Panama, declares that nowhere else in the world where 20,000 to 30,000 men were assembled together, were they so well fed, so well clothed, and so well housed with such effective refard for health and sanitation. Colonel Hepburn said the entire party came back feeling that the lock canal could be built. He thinks the canal would be finished by 1915. PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC EYE. A picturesque figure and an inter esting personality is the Syrian pa triarch, Ignatius Abdullah, of Anti och, who was recently received by King Edward at- Buckingham palace. He looks thoroughly patriarchal, with his long' white beard and im pressive costume, consisting of a black robe lined with crimson, a turban-shaped headdress and silver pas toral staff. The king conversed with him for some time on Syrian affairs, the interpreter being Mrs. Finn, wid ow of a former British consul in Palestine.

CAP" JOINER'S NAME FAVORED AT MACON Macon, Ga., Jan. 21. Macon fans are badlysplit up now over the race for the presidency of the South At lantic League and "Cap," W. R. Joy ner, of Atlanta, is the cause. Before he was suggested for place, it was a fight between W. A. Jones, of Jack sonville, and C. W. Boyer. Boyer was without a doubt best fitted for the place, and Macon fans were with him almost unanimously. The arrival the other day of the first postal automobile at Bagdad has filled the minds of the natives with wonder and awe. The car carried the mails, hitherto borne on camels' backs, from Aleppo, a distance of 625 miles, in sixty hours. i A Savannah (Ga.) woman holds the record for changing her name, having had three names In as many hours.

Charlotte to-day and may yet. for that matter, h.it now it is uncertain. About the only objection that can be raised to Mr. Joyner is that he would hardly consent to leave Atlanta and reside In some South Atlantic League city during 'the. campaign. Thi might 'not be absolutely neces sary, but it is at least customary and as the president has been here be fore the fans . are rather unwiling to see a change. - Crawford Howell Toy, since 1880 Hancock professor of Hebrew and Oriental languages at Harvard Uni versity, has sent in his resignation to the faculty, to take effect September 1, 1909.

Platonn Brounoff, a musician, na tive of Russia, has gathered from the people of the East Side, New York City, two hundred Jewish folk songs.

Yorkville Has Built Seven Miles of Sewerage Line at a Cost of $25, 000. T Yorkville Enquirer. The commissioners of public works received the completed sewerage sys tem from the contractors yesterday, and the work of making delayed con nections is hieing pushed as rapidly as possible. There are a little more than seven miles of the system and one of the commissioners informs The Enquirer unofficially that the to tal cost has been about $25,000, prob ably a few dollars more. Contratcor Burkhalter advises the board of com missioners that the town has gotten more work for less money than he has ever known. It is believed that the contractor lacked about $2,000 of breaking even and of this about $900 was on account of the settle ment of damage claims. Gored by a Cow. Spartanburg Journal. Mrs. F. B. Castleberry, aged 60 j-ears, who lives at Woodruff, was gored by an angry cow while she was milking the animal. Ms. Castleberry was sitting on a stool milking, when a dog ran into the lot and began to bark and tease the cow. The cow lowered her head and darted for the dog, which jumped ana ran to one side, all the time barking at the cow. Mrs. Castleberry was not able to get out of the way in time, and she was bowled over in the lot. The cow made for Mrs. Castleberry and gored her in the side, face and breast with her pointed horn, inflict ing several serious gashes that may cause death. Two or three ribs were broken and it is feared that the lady also sustained serious internal inju ries. Her condition is quite critical, and death may follow at almost any moment.
