There Is not a railroad of standard g:\iage In Graham county today. Two logging roads, narrow guage, repre sent the county's transportation as sets. But things are not to remain this way long. ITie fever of progress has infected the county, and jxist now' the Graham County Railroad Compa ny is planning to construct a line from Topton across the mountain to Rob- blnsville. On February 14th the coun ty will vote $50,000 in bonds towards the building of this line. In wealth of timber and mineral re sources, Graham county is almost without an equal in the state today. The one drawback has been lack of transportation facilities. The resources were there In abundance, but w’ere of no great value because they were isolated. The railroad will open up the county and u^er in a new day of growth. HAsmsuBSTirm ^ ik ir ^ ({^(Saturday and Mond ▼ I From Other Sanctums ^ Whitewashing His Majesty. Our I'ious contemporary the Oout- look. “Theodore Roosevelt contribut ing editor,’’ says of the supreme cotu't’s decision in the Panama libei case against the World: “It decides nothing hut that the former attorney- general made a mistake in choosing the court before which he brought the criminal proceedings.” All the supreme court decided was tiiat the proceeding was lawless, that there was no auihority whatever for Huch a prosecution, that the case had no standing in the federal courts and should never aave been brought by the United States government. That is all the supreme court ever decicies when presidents or attorncy-generals or coUtTresses undertake to usurp pow er which does not belong to them. But ^ e arc eeSpecially interested in the chivalry of the Outlook in seeking to throw the odium of this reckless prosecution upon Bonaparte, who meekly did what he was commanded to do by his superior, now the Out look’s contributing editor. Bonaparte is to blame because he obeyed orders from th3 White House. It is a beauti* ful restatement of the fine old theory that the King can do no wrong—he Viits led by evil counsellors; the Lord shall deal with them.—New York World. Absolutely Pure Th0 only bakinp powdm^ mado i?om Roymt Ormpm Ormam of rmHmr •MIAlllM.IIBUMEPIMSPII«Tr GOVERNOR BLEASE. Unless all aign« fail South Carolina is to be treated to a dose of sulphuric acid Ktatesmanship. The inaugural ad dress of Governor Blease is something unique. That any man, elevated to the high office of governor, should not at least try to be largo enough to for get personal hatred for erstwhile enemies la almost inconceivable. That a governor should take the first occa sion offered to Indulge in an Intempei^ ate harrangue of abuse and bupcombe would Indicate that the gentleman has been chosen to a position entirely too largo for his calibre. We trust that Governor Blease Is not Quite as bad as he has painted himself. Judging from his first mes sage It is not strange that the minis ters and newspapers almost as a unit opposed hi* election. Commentlns o2i a portion of his ad dress the Statesville Landmark says: "When Gtoyemor Blease, of South Carolina, 'was » candidate before the primaries last summer he was oppos ed by nearly all the newspapers of the state and bj most ot the preachers. In his Inaugur^ address at Columbia Monday the governor paid his respects to the editors and preachers as fol lows I " 'Aligned against me were united dally press ftnd an almost solid weekly press, pouring forth all kinds of false hoods, vituperation and abus^ receiv ing the assistance of a number of men who call themselves ministers of the Oospel—Qod save the markl—who stood behind their pulpdts and gave Husbands as Property. Considerable .'satisfaction will be felt I'v mankind generally at the ai'gumcnt advanced by a married woman in a suit involving another woman that “a husband is property to a wife and a family, and to win him away is noth ing short of stealing.” So it is the husband and not the wife that is the “human chattel.” The admission controverts the theory up held through generations of feminist protest against the serfdom imposed by man on his domestic partner through unequal marriage laws. The honest confession that the contrary is the case has been secured at last, but at a cost to feminine consistency which may he expected to bring its proper rebuke from everj’ women’s club in the land. The fair plaintiff to secure her own ends has jiroved false to one of the cherished principles of her sox. But the truth is out. It is man who is the chattel, possession of whom is gained by the marriage ceremony and the right, title and interest to whom has been established in suits for non support or for abandonment during marriage as well as in alimony pro ceedings afterward. His status as matrimonial properly has. to be sure, long been a matter of court record. But it is gratifying to havo the courts upheld by the higher feminine opin ion. All the more interest for that reason will attach to the otitcome of the present action to have husbands made subject to the laws which safe guard other forms of property.—New York World. The Sad Case of Standard 0!l. For years the Standard Oil has dragged out its existence witli starva tion dividends of 3G, 40 and 45 per cent. At last the mystery of its dis tressful condition is revealed. Early in Its career it almost ruined itself in secret works of benevolence, and ever since it has been paying the penalty of Its tender-heartedness. As John G. Milburn told the United States supreme court the story of the trust’s sad struggle with prosperity his voice broko with emotion and be brought tears to his ow'n eyes. At tremendous sacrifice In the seventies the Standard Oil had gone to the res cue of the Pennsylvania oil-producers, pledged its credit, strained its resour ces and almost wrecked itself in build ing pipe lines and increasing its short- &ge facilities. “We thought,” explain ed Mr. Milburn, “that it was only the decent thing to do. If a man canae to us with a proposition to sell out, to buy his plant at Its appraised value. Often it was practically valueless, and we could have permitted it to go to dry-rot on his hands." It was a tale to wring the heart strings of the unrighteous who have accused the Rockefeller trust of crime of oppression against its rivals.—New York World. Birthday of Lee. To the world In a military com mander of surpuHMliiK genius; to the people of all Hocf loim of our country he is one of the grt^ut Americans who CHENEY’S) ejcf*ec:tor/\int CURES COUQHS AND COLO« stand In the forefront of our history with Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Jackson and Lincoln, but he repre sents far more than this to the South ern people. In the terrible days of the (Mvil war he embodied their hopes, he shared their privations and fears, and with them he tasted the bitterness of defeat. In the trying days that follow'- cd he rose above the WTeck of the “jjlorm-cradled nation that fell,” giv ing courage and inspiration to mil lions as they began, in the ashes of desolation, to rebuild the structure that had been destroyed by war. He was great enough to see, beyond the smoke and fire of civil strife, a re-unit ed country, greater and grander than ever before. No man did more to heal the wounds of war; no man had a more powerful and beneficial influence upon his people. Above I-.ee the General towers the figure of Lee the Man. It was his mili tary genius, his daring and strategy, that broi’ght him into world-wide no tice and led Lord Wolseley to crown him with the title of “one of the three great captains of the English-speaking race;” but it was the majesty and greatness of his personal character, his devotion to principle, and to his own people that enshrined him forever in their hearts. The celebration of his one hundred and third birthday is enhanced in Bal timore today by the presence of his grandson who bears the name of the Confederate commander. The Daugh ters of the Confederacy, the Confeder ate veterans and their sons are per forming a sacred duty in keeping the memory alive of the great men of the South, preserving its traditions and ex hibiting their pride in its history. Thus may their fame and Influence continue from generation unto gener ation.—Baltimore Sun. Commander Leonard Appointed. By Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 21.—Commander J. C. Leonard has been appointed commanding officer of the cruiser Dos ISIoines, succeeding Commander John F. Luby, w’ho died on board the vessel while en route from Liberia to the United States. The Des Moines will arrive at Boston on Monday when Commander Leonard will as sume his new duties. The body of Commander will be taken to Annapolis for burial in the cemetery of the naval academy.
