Charlotte has 44 passenger trains
dally at the present time on its rail
road systems, the Southern and the
Seaboard, and tl^e freight business
amounts to approximately two million
dollars a year. With the extension and
development of the system created in
the last few days and its extension to
Charlotte, either cross-country from
Norwood or by way of Concord, will
multiply these figures greatly and will
mean continued growth and prosperity
for Charlotte, the Queen City, and
the metropolis of the state.
The following from the Raleigh
News and Observer of ye&terday, dis
cussing the matter in detail, will be
read with interest:
Yesterday this paper announced that
the Norfolk Southern Railway had
purchased the Raleigh and Southport
Railway and the Durham and Char
lotte Railway and would at onde pro
ceed to connect the capital of the
state with the prosperous town of
Concord. .
Today the announcement is made
upon authority that the Norfolk South
ern has also purchased from the
Pages the Asheboro and Aberdeen
Railroad. This will give the Norfolk
Southern 695 miles of railroad
North Carolina, and when they con
nect up the properties they have
104 miles in Virginia.
Twenty years ago the late Mr. Frank
Page, who had been in the lumber bus
iness in Cary, in this county ,went to
Aberdeen, then an insignificant little
station on the Seaboard railroad. Hav
ing purchased large bodies of pine
lands he began to build a lumber road
and to cut lumber and to ship it. The
road extended slowly and he and his
sons, among the most progressive men
in North Carolina, extended the road
until It got to Blscoe. It developed a
fine section of North Carolina. In fact,
it revolutionized the sand-hills of the
state. L»ater Mr. Page’s sons extend
ed the road to Asheboro to the West
and to Troy and Mt. Gilead to the
south, and later still built a spur from
Pinehurst to Carthage, and have not
only developed the country but nave
made money themselves and have
beea among the most resourceful and
progressive and useful men In North
Carolina. The people who live in that
section of the state and who kn>w of
their work regret to see their retire
ment because they had run their road
in a way to help the sections that they
served, but the Pages are builders and
money-makers and all of them are still
young enough to continue to do big
things and they are not satisfied to do
anything except big things.
lease, the Aberdeen and Asheboro has
111 miles of line, running from Aber
deen to Asheboro, from West End to
Jackson Springs, from Biscoe to Mt.
Gilead, from Candor to Ellerbe, and
Carthage to Pinehurst.
Its total capitalization, not includ
ing the Carthage and Pinehurst, is
capital, $270,000, funded debt, $164,000:
total, $434,000. Capital and bonds of
Carthage and Pinehurst $107,000.
Its operating revenues for year end
ing June 30, 1911, including Carthage
and Pinehurst, are; Operating reve
nues, $228,106; operating expenses,
$173,000; net operating revenue, $55,-
100.
Its officers are: Henry A. Page,
president and general freight and pas
senger agent, Aberdeen, N. C.; J. R.
Page, vice-president, Biscoe, N. C.;
Mary E. Page, secretary and treas
urer, Aberdeen, N. C.; T. J. Jerome,

Dyart replied:
“Can’t we have it back again? That
would suit me.
“I don’t believe that I did wrong
and I believe that I have the right to
take any man’s life at any time. I
guess it was born in me.”
t)yart admitted that he had been a
great reader of melo-dramic novels.
WHY DID THEY BUY THE
ASHEBORO & ABERDEEN R. R.7
The natural question that everybody
is asking is why the Norfolk South
ern Railway should buy the Aberdeen
and Asheboro, In getting from Ra
leigh to Concord and Charlotte they
do not need It at all for they can build
from Raleigh to Charlotte by building
a line from Fuquay Springs to Colon,
they could use the Durham and Char
lotte to Troy or Mt. Gilead, and will
have therefore to biiild only from Troy
or Mt. Gilead to Concord. Therefore
the purchase of the Aberdeen and
Asheboro Railroad rnust be regarded
as having no direct connection with
the line which the Norfolk Southern
announced it is going to build from
Raleigh to Concord. Then why did
they buy it? It has been managed
very econonaically and very successful
ly by the Pages, They built it cheaply,
did their own engineering and when
the road was young Congressman Page
used to pull the throttle himself and
the younger brothers have done every
thing on the railroad from acting as
brakeman to the executive duties. The
road As now conducted, runs in conaec
tion with the Southern road which has
a branch line from High Point down to
Asheboro. The Southern and the Ashe
boro and Aberdeen have a working

Daughtet's Betiayal?
By Associated Press,
Philadelphia. Nov. 21.—Whether a
father is justified in taking the life of
a man who betrays his daughter and
refuses to marry her is a question
that will come up in the case of Frank
W. McMahon, who was placed on trial
here today charged with the murder of
George A. Leary. McMahon is a ea-
loon-keeper and Leary was a well-to-do
dealer in real estate.
Leary was shot dead on a atreet cor-
oer in West Philadelphia last May.
McMahon when arrested made a
statement that Leary had betrayed his
daughter and had insulted him when
the subject of marriage was mention
ed.
At the coroner’s inquest McMahon
made a statement regarding his daugh
ter’s troubles and the coroner prompt
ly discharged him on the ground of
justifiable homicide; but he was re
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
Leary’s relatives charging him with
murder. ^
McMahon’s counsel refuses to dis
close what the defense Will be until
he presents it to the jury.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 21.—With the trial
of the indicted meat packers set for
10 o’clock tomorrow In District Judge
Carpenter’s court, government law
yers were prepaid to spend the final
day before the real proceedings In
keeping close watch for any surprise
counsel for the defendants might re
veal to secure further delay.
That there was a surprise in store
was the belief of government counsel.
A conference was held in the offices
of District Attorney James H. Wilker-
son, at which plans for the hearing
were discussed. Mr. Wilkersdn an
nounced that the government was rea
dy, as it had been for weeks, to pro
ceed with the trial when the hour
for which it was set arrived.
There is no use” he said, “in
guessing what kind of a surprise the
packers are planning to give us but
we will try to defeat any further plans
for delay, 'We anticipate that the
packers will seek further delay.” Coun
sel for the packers and their clients
held extended conferences throughout
the day yesterday and at their conclu
sion neither the lawyers nor the de
fendants would make any statement.
No move had been made early today
by the indicted Chicago packers to get
their case before Associate Justice
Day of the United States supreme
court on an appeal to prevent facing
trial tomorrow before Circuit Judge
George A. Carpenter in Chicago.
There was nothing this moi^ns to
indicate that any movemttnt woold^ha
nmde durli^ the day. If attfflrneya Jwr
the packers are in Canton waiting tm-
til the last moment to execute a coup,
they are keeping their pr^ence se
cret..
Later the attorneys appeared before
Judge Kohlsaat. The-purpose of ask
ing that the order be entered now, it
was said, to return the packers case
to the United States district court in
a position where they would have
standing before the supreme court.
The entry of the order, it was said,
would be followed by an appeal to As
sociate Justice Day, of the supreme
court, in Cantonl O.
