Charlotte as the survey shows will open a new territory thereby increas ing the value of the land considera bly. It is worth much more to have tiiis interburgan than a regular rail road because it serves in the county i as the street cars do in the city. No doubt stations would soon •spring up every few rnilos along the road and many persons who work in i the cities could enjoy a country home. "By all means let us got together on this matter.” Brevard E. Harris, president Ki wanis Club: “1 he civic dubs have been for years trying to get a new railroad for our city, and certainly now that we have the opportunity of getting the road, our people will not be so unreason able about the right of way as to de prive our city and county of this great opportunity. This road would benefit property far more than -ts would damage it.” C. H. Barrier, nuxyor of Concord: XI am for anything the late J. B. Duke was for and I understand he left everything in shape to carry oitt his plans. Every development or ex tension he made has increased proper ty values and business and I should think our people would gladly give or at least sell a right of way for this railroad reasonable. "The fact that it opens up terri tory more or less undeveloped makes it that much more valuable to us." Chas. B. Wagoner, president of the Citizens Bank ami Trust Co.: "I bdieve that the building of the P. & X. Railway through here will mean more to the City of Concord and to the teritory through which its lines are laid than any other movement for the common good that has been under consideration for the last twenty-five years. We can readily see that this line will be laid out along the route that will be shortest and that will prom ise the lowest construction cost, en- ' abling it to reach Kannapolis and j prints north on its route to Winston- , Salem, and leave Concord off its main | line, unless rights of way to bring it I by . here can be obtained at a reason- 1 awe cost. A glance at the map will show that the mileage will be greatly increased to bend The' ra'Tway Hue so that it will touch Coucord. and if this cost, cmtpled with unreasonable costs for rights of way. will outweigh the advantages to be gained, wt will of course lose the Interurban for Con cord. The advantages to the property own ers through whose land tiiis line would be laid are so many that in all except probably a few cases it seems that | rights of way would gladly be given. | It is the history 7 of the interurban electric lines that they wonderfully increase property values of all lands they touch, as by running their trains on close schedules they’ bring Into the market at once sites for homes all aloug their lines for people who work in nearby towhs, and at the same time put aH lands touched by the line in market demand for industrial sites. And the advantages to farms through which it runs are many, as sidings are established every few miles en abling farmers to load and unload their farm products and farm require ments. It will increase farm values to an even greater extent than the im proved highway system of the state has done. “This interurban will connect us with all the main railway systems— the Seaboard, Atlantic £oast line. Norfolk & Western and the Pennsyl vania. Surely no effort should be lost in securing this interurban line for our city.” ' * ISSUE FORMAL CALL FOR STOCK REDEMPTION Reynolds Preferred Redeemable at $l2O Plus Acctired Dividend.

Berlin, Oct. 22. — UP) —The family library of the Hohenzollerns, compris ing about 100.000 volumes, besides numerous maps, musical publications and sketches, forms part of the ITo henzollera inventory claimed by the German Republic as being the proper ty of the state. Pendiug the ultimate decision of the courts the library remains in the for mer Royal castle at Berlin. The li brary was founded September 20, 1802, when the private libraries of Frederick the Great, Kings Freder ick William 11, 111, and IV, and the small but valuable jversonal library of Queen Louise of Prussia, were in corporated. Prior to that date these various libraries were kept at dif ferent castles. The originator of the idea of found ing a library of the Hohenzollerns was Duvinage, the librarian of Frederic William IV. who suggested the plan to the King in 1859. His suggestion, however, did not tneer with the ap proval <i£ the Treasury of the Royal Household and it was not until 1862 that his successor. Dr. lXihme, over came th ! s opposition. By 1871 the new library contained 10,000 volumes. ‘ At the suggestion of Emperor William I, a number of con tributions from the library were made to other libraries. From 1880 to 1888 the Hohenzol lern library was steadily enlarged, re arranged and recatalogued and with the ascension of Emperor William 11, thr-mnv librarian, Walter Robert Tornow, it was given an entirely new lease. By an Imperior edict in 1895 a large number of smaller family li braries scattered among the various castles were also incorporated. CHARLOTTE NEGRO HELD FOR KILLING T. L.

A1 Smith to Retire Private Life. Albany, N. Y.. Oct. 10.—Governor Smith reiterated today that he would retire to private life at the end of his present term as chief executive of New York state. “A man can’t go on indefinitely .in this job,” he said. Reminded that he had been quoted once as saying that any man would be a fool who did not accept the presi dential nomination if it was tendered to him, he said : “That is true. But there is a great difference between accepting a nomination and going after it. The only chance I would have to get the presidential nomination would be when all the leaders were convinced that I was the only man who could win. Any one would be foolish to go about the country talking with an eye on the nomination more than two years before the nomination is made.

SECRETARY MELLON SUGGESTS ANOTHER INOT-^ Makes Changes in Sched ule He Presented Sever al Days Ago as Head of The Treasury. REDUCTION IS IN PROPOSAL New Schedule Not Pre sented as “Definite” Pro posal But as Alternative Plan. Washington. Oct. 22. C4 3 )—A new schedule of normal income rates was 1 presented to the House ways and j means committee here today by Sec retary Mellon. The projMisal suggests rateo of 1 per cent, on the first $3,000 of tax able income; 2 per cent on the next • SI,OOO ; 8 pee cent, on the next.sL -000; and 5 per cent, thereafter. This agreement, ihe secretary said ! in a letter to Chairman Green, prob ably would be more satisfactory than t*he recently submitted treasury sched ule suggesting 1 per cent on the first SB,OOO of taxable income; 3 per cent, on the next $4,000; and 5 per cent, thereafter. Present normal rates are 2 per cent, on the first $4,000 of income: 4 per cent, on the next $4.000; and 0 per cent, on the remainder. Mr. Mellon submitted the new fig ures not as a “definite” proposal, but as an alternative plan to that j laid before the committee in writ-, tug Monday. It really is the third) tentative outline of rates the treas-' ury has submitted. Mr. Mellon bav- { mg sugge.stjed orally when ’.te ap-; peared before the committee Mon-; day that the rate might be made 1 j per cent, and 1 1-2 on the first $4,- [ 000 ; 3 per cent, between $4,000 and j $8,000; and 5 per cent, for all over | SB,OOO.

PASSENGERS BITTERLY CENSURE SHIP’S CREW Declare Crew of Comanche Was Drunk and Threw Passengers Out of the Lifeboats. New York, Oct. 19.—The New York World will say tomorrow that the negro crew of the Clyde liner Comanche which burned off the coast of Florida Saturday night stampeded | madly before the flames, pulled pas-! sengers out of lifeboats, precipitated men and women into the sea. accord ing to stories of 30 surviovrs who! reached here tonight. Almost Unanimous in their eon- j detonations of the behavior of the; Comanche’s crew, the passengers | praised the coolness and courage of the officers and crew of the auxiliary j schooner Meta, one of three reseue vessels, i Irvin Gotnenz. of Worchester, Mass., charged that the negro seamen were | runk and that when the fire started they could not be controlled by the officers. “The negro crew, intoxicated and mad, rushed back and forth on the deck.” he said. “As soon as -the tar-1 paulin had been cut off a lifeboat, they would jump in. Passengers,) trying to get into the boats, were yanked out by negroes. “I finally got into a boat, but when | it had been lowered partly, the ap paratus jammed, and some of us were I thrown headlong into the water.” Thomas M. Fanning, of New York, j said: “The crew was of no assistance. Passengers had to cut the tarpaulins from the tops of the boats and as fast as they did members of the crew pushed in front, taking baggage with them. The crew was out of control. It wan entirely the work of the pas sengers that saved both themselves and the crew.” As Leon Flagstone, of Gardner. Mass., tried to get into the last life boat he' was pushed out by mem bers of the crow, he said. He jumped overboard and swam until he was picked up. The charge that the crew was drunk was made also by James A. Moore, of St. Petersburg. Fla., who said ; “Members of the crew were large-, ly responsible for the confusion. They pushed and pulled and stampeded like . wild men. I was thrown out by some of them when I tried to get into a lifeboat.” Pennsylvania and Yale met on the j gridiron twelve times from 1879 to 1893. and not one contest was won by j the Quakers.

FIRST PERIOD , A BIG SUCCESS Only With Close Figuring Can the Leaders in the Race Now Be Determin ed—Don’t Hesitate Now. Going up! Swinging into line, all a-tingle with high hopes and ambition, candidates in The Tribune-Times now famous cam paign have swelled their vote totals * j to a wonderful high mark and from now on to the finish it will be a pret ty exciting race between the leaders.' The first period of the campaign which closed Monday night, was a tre mendous success. Tens of thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands of votes, were issued and every “live" candi date profited mightily. It is a strange coincidence, too, and something unusual in affairs of this kind, but each of the leading candi dates who is striking for first honors and the grand prizes, benefitted so equally during the period just closed, that, not without hairline figuring could today’s leaders be determined. The competition, therefore, as far as the relative standing of the candi dates is concerned, depends almost en tirely upon tiie results obtained by the various contestants between now and the finish as to who the ultimate winners will be. The above is not "mere talk” for the sake of telling but a real fact— theories or rumors notwithstanding. Hence the struggle for supremacy will be fougiit out during the hext few days for the entire campaign comes to a fateful close in just a few weeks. The "second period” closes on Satur day Night, October 81st, at twelve o’clock. - ' Predominant position among the leaders at the close of the second per iod is strongly advantageous through- | remainder of the campaign one »> «n have 'but lit*tle hope of success. * And maintaining this standing neces sitates taking full advantage of the , “Second Period” vote schedule which closes one week from Saturday night, October 31st. He or she who hesitates now, re gardless of their standing, will' surely be trailing in the oblivion of defeat, when this grand array of awards is mode, while some other more ambitious workers will be driving their own new cars awarded them by The Tribune- Times for their untiring efforts in this mammoth Gift Flection. Oglesby Speeds Up Court Proceedings. Asheville. Oct. 19.—1 tis believed that Judge John Oglesby, of Concord, made a record in disposing of civil cases at the regular October term of Superior Court, which closed Satur day. Mainly through his efforts a total of 143 cases were disposed of in the two weeks just passed. On the opening day of ffae term, ! Monday, October sth, there was some confusion as to the calendar. Judge Oglesby then called a meeting of the bar and ordered that a new calendar be prepared. He announced that all cases on the second calendar would be tried or dismissed when called. /] While the bar meeting was in prog ress, the civil issue docket wave called and non-suits were entered In more than 100 cases. The court and ff.ie calendar com mittee of the bar are making a vigor onr effort to relieve the c-ohgestion of the Buncombe docket. Thomas R. Rollins, chairman of the bar commit tee, stated Saturday. So many cases have been stricken off the calendar and with a special term and two other regular terms before the end of the year. Mr. Rollins believes the dpeket will be in splendid shape by January Ist. One Youth Frozen to Death in Storm.
