C, March 4 law enacted by congress to "promote the safety of employes and travelers upon railroads and limiting the hours of service of employes thereon." goes into effect today. The act, in brief, is as follows: That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier, its officers or agents, subject to this act, to require or per mit any employe subject to this act to be or to remain on duty for a longer period than 1(1 consecutive hours, and whenever any such employe of any common carrier shall have been con tinuously on duty for It; consecutive hours he shall be relieved and not re quired or permitted to again to go on duty mail he has had at least 10 con secutive hours off duty; and no such employe who has been on duty lt hours in the aggregate in any 24-hour period shall be required or permitted to again go on duty without having at least 8 consecutive hours oft" duty: Provided. That no operator, train dispatcher, or other employe who has by the use of the telegraph or telephone dispatches, reports, transmits, receives, or delivers orders pertaining to or affecting train movements shall be required or per mitted to be or remain on duty for a longer period than 9 hours in any 24 nour period in all towers, offices, places and stations continuously operate night and day, nor for a longer period of i'J hours in all towers, offices, places and stations operated only during the daytime, except in cases of emergency, when the employes named in this pro viso may be permitted to be and re main on duty for four additional hours in a 24-hour period on not exceeding three days in any week: Provided, fur ther. The interest ate commerce com mission may, after full hearing in a particular case and for good cause shown extend the period within which a common carrier shall compiy with the provisions of this proviso as to such case. That any common carrier, or any ofiieer or agent thereof, requiring or permitting any employe to go or re main on duty in violation of the second section hereof, shall be liable to a pen alty of not to exceed $f.00 for each and every violation, to be recovered in a suit or suits to be brought by the Unit ed States district attorney in the dis trict court of the United States having jurisdiction in the locality where such violation shall have been committed; and it shall be the duty of such district attorney to bring such suits upon satis factory information being lodged with him; but no such suit shall be brought iftev the expiration of one year from the date of such violation; and it shall be the duty of the interstate commerce commission to lodge with the proper district attorneys information of any such violations as may come to its knowledege. In all prosecutions under this act the common carrier shall be deemed to have had knowledge of all acts of a'l its officers and agents: Pro vided, That the provisions of this act shall not apply to any case of casualty or unavoidable accident or the act of God: nor where the delay was the re sult of a cause not known to the car rier or its officers or agent in charge of such employe at the time said em ploye left a terminal, and which could not have been foreseen: Provided, Further, that the provisions of this act shall net apply to the crews of wrecking or relief trains. Efforts to have congress repeal or amend the law have been unavailing. The interstate commerce commission has likewise declined to consent that the enforcement of this law shall be postponed. A few railroads have given notice to the commission that they are prepared to obey the law to the letter. A large majority of the roads, however, have taken no steps toward complying with the act and have not indicated what their plans are. It is assumed that now that the law has become operative many roads will apply for permission to conduct their business as heretofore until they can make ready to meet the requirements of the new law. The act gives the interstate com merce commission power to grant an extension of "time in individual cases where good cause is shown. The rail roads declare that the enforcement of the law will cost them .$20,000,000 a year and that at the present time they cannot afford this extra expense. The railroad employes look upon the new law as the most substantial piece ef legi.la'.ien they have obtained from congress for many years, not excepting the employers' liability act. They re gard the law as not only a victory for them, but for the traveling public. FRANCHISE WAY BETS GRANTED Special to The News. Greensboro, X. C, March 1. The county commissioners have granted to Charles L. Vannonpen and associates a franchise for a street railway for three miles on West Market street ex tension and lateral streets. This im portant movement for additional street car facilities will greatly benefit the suburban property to the west of the citv, which lies just beyond the corpor ate limits on the Guilford College road leading out West Market street by the state normal park. The line will con nect with the Greensboro Electric Com panv on West Market street, and may be 'extended to Guilford College, as well as to the old Banner warehouse on West Market street. Swine Breeding Discussed. Aberdeen, S. D., March 4 The pro gram of today's meeting of the South Dakota Swine Breeders' Association included papers and discussions on practical breeding, care and sanita? tion, the proper way of starting a herd, up-to-date hog houses and other subjects of interest to the breeders. Supt. Joyner Jit Trinity Special to The Xews. Trinity College, Durham, X. C, March 4. Mr. .1. Y. Joyner, superin tendent of public institutions of the state, delivered the fifth lecture in the faculty series of lectures to the s Un dents and faculty of this college hist night at !S o'clock in Craven Memorial Hall. His subject was "A Message from the Educational Field." Mr. Joyner dwelt at length on the educational progress that Xorth Carolina has made within the last five years. He gave statistics to show that the state is moving rapidly in voting local taxes, in building school houses, and in es tablishing high schools. He spoke of the importance of high sciicol work in Xorth Carolina, and it was evident from the facts presented by him, that the state has not passed any law with in this generation that will be if as much help in the educational develop ment as the high school law which is now being put into operation. Immediately after the lecture the speaker of the occasion was entertain ed in a splendid style by the "Tombs," a local organization, in the banquet hall of the new dormitory. The occa sion was a reception and smoker com plimentary to Mr. Joyner. Those who participated in the festivities of the jolly hour were the members of the organization, the members of the col lege faculty, and some other invited guests. Mr. S. A. Richardson, of Mon roe, acted as toastmaster, and called on several of the guests including the guest of honor and members of the faculty, who responded in fitting words.

It seems possible that American salted or pickled pork and corned beef, if cheap enough and well prepared, might find a ready and profitable saie here, but it will be necessary to es tablish wholesale warehouses to sup ply the trade, and even private custom ers, direct. The price of meats in the Carlsbad markets is as follows, per pound: Beef, veal and mutton, 20 cents; pork, 2J cents. That portion of Xorth Bohemia em braced by the Carlsbad consular dis trict contains a population of 1,167,413, employed chiefly in manufacturing, mining, agriculture, etc., besides the annual influx of visitors to the springs, viz: Carlsbad, 160,000; Marienbad, 100,000, and Franzenbad, 60000. More than one-half the population belongs to the laboring classes and it would be worth while for American packers to attempt to supply them with barreled and canned meats.

Nearly 20, 000 tons were taken from that mine during the third week in January. An advertisement in a local trade journal specifies six reasons why a certain hosiery machine "is the most suitable one for manufacturing the well-known fleecy fabric." The first reason is. "this machine is used in all the leading mills in the United States of America." Both mine owners and miners' asso ciations in this locality are advocating la minister of mines as a new cabinet of ! fice. The number of coal mines in this country is 3.300, employing nearly 1,000,000 persons, and mining interests are deemed of sufficient magnitude to demand an exclusive office in the- cabi net. Receipts from railway traffic apprec iably declined toward the end of 1907 and thus far in 190S, seeming to indi cate that the crest of the prosperous era has been passed, but expenses in creased, largely because of high cost of coal; dividends for the second half of 1907 have accordingly been reduced in several cases. The whole year's business, however, was larger than m 190(5. Under a new law a census of produc tion is to be taken in Great Britain this year, and the work is now under way in this district. Heretofore such information has been collected by the Va.; Mrs. Annie Moore, of Rockford, board of trade through blank forms and Mr. Edward Martin, ot Madison. sent out to all kinds of producers, many of whom did not bother to Jul out the forms. The new method is more akin to a personal canvass of in dustries, and it is expected to produce satisfactory results. 1. yes- Death of , Mrs. Martin. Special to The News. Winston-Salem, N.

Twells, of Carlsbad, furnishes the following information concerning the increased cost of living in his consular district, and the possi ble opening therein for an American meat trade: During the last five years there have been strikes in Austria among many j classes of laborers and workmen, which must be chiefly attributed to the con stantly advancing prices of food, cloth ing and rent. At Carlsbad these have advanced from 10 to 50 per cent, during that time. Not only the working classes but the shopkeepers, school officials, post and municipal authorities, the various law officers, and all grades of officials whose incomes do not exceed $1,600 a jlgarr. complain that the present prices of food and clothing are exhorbitant. Owing to the high price of meat efforts have been made to introduce into this market fish from the German and Bal tic seas, and as the ports from whicn they were shipped are only 16 to 20 hours' distant, they arrived- here in good condition, hut the attempt seems ! ble statu A figure to prize, to be : Office; 21 South Tryon St. Woodall & Shepparci's.
