VAST RAILROAD NEEDS
Hat Yet Prepared Fof Meet
ing Demands of Busi
ness Revival.
Hi
Editor Edmonds
Estimates
That
Transportation Expenditures of
$lj000,000,000 a Tear Will
Be Required.
Ribhard Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore,
while in New York this week, in an
interview with a reporter of the New
Vork News Bureau, said:
"Though general business through
out the country has not yet joined
fully in the remarkable activity pre
vailing in iron and steel, railroads
are already becoming congested with
traffic and many complaints of scar
city of cars are heard in Alabama and
West Virginia and other other iron
and coal centres.
"We are now producing iron at the
rate of nearly 30,000,000 tons a year,
or over 3,000,000 tons above the rec
ord output of 1907. If other indus
tries were as active as iron and steei
(and they mast inevitably become so),
railroads would be as much over
whelmed with business as they were
when the railroad system of the coun
try practically collapsed in the sum
mer and fall of 1907. Moreover, the
really marvelous activity in iron ana
steel is as yet without the benefit oi
heavy railroad purchases of materials.
When railroad buying attains tne
heavy totals which their necessities
will force in the near future, the dan
ger to the country will be a scramble
for Iron and steel products, with the
possibility of a runaway market.
There is possibly as much danger in
a speculative iron market as in a wild
stock speculation. If prices go toe
nirii nnnsnmntion is checked, but
while consumption is absorbing such
a vast amount of iron as at present,
the Iron trade must of necessity be
crowded at high pressure. What will
aappen when all business revives it is
hard to say, but it is quite certain that
tne outlook indicates a very great ex-
T.ondnn in pvfirv leading industry to
f " I
keep in touch with the remarkable ex- I
tansion of iron and steel. The rail
roads seem to be at last waking up to
the situation, but they have been so
slow in doing this that traffic is al
ready growing far more rapidly than
railroad facilities, and the danger
ahead of us is a collapse in railroads
from inability to handle freight.
I very day is simply emphasizing the j
fact that railroad expansion has not
kept up witn tne growm ui mo
try, and that at least $5,000,000,000 to
$f,C(,0l' 1 00 would be required to
push railroad building and enlarging
of railroad operations to a point
where facilities for handling freight I nearly completed. It shows that 34,
would equal the demands of the next I goo landlords own land covering 113
two or three years. If $1,000,000,000
a year for the next ten years could be
expended upon railroad construction
the lacilities at that time would not
eciiial the certainty of the demand.
Any legislative action that delays the
investment needed for ailroad con-
struction eirnply intensifies the situa-
Lion and really makes all present rail-
roads a greater monopoly than if rail-
road construction could be Droauiy
pushed in all directions.
"In connection with this marvelous
expansion in iron and steel, it is evi
dent that the great steel operators
are endeavoring to safeguard the fu
ture by the purchase or control by
lease of the sources of ore supplies
The announcement that the eBthlehem
iuouv
Steel corporation nas secureu one ui
the large ore properties of Northern
New York follows very quickly after
the report that it has arranged for
heavy investments in Texas, where,
according to reports made by the San
ta Fe Railroad to the State Railroad
Commission, contracts have been
made lor opening up ore properties
with a view to furnishing the Bethle
hem people 1,000,000 tons of Texas ore
a year.
"Similar efforts are being made in
manv directions as to coking coal
properties, as well as ore properties,
showing that the far-seeing men of to-1 . The discussion of war between Eng
day are recognizing the tremendous I land and Germany at least haa this
fiirr.rft throueh the ownership of the
raw materials for iron and steel mak-
ins.
"It Is hardly to be expected that the
rate of Iron production which has pre -
vailed during the last forty years will
continue for the next ten, but if it did
so continue it would, as shown in a
recent paper by Professor Porter
the University of Cincinnati, carry
te-iron production in 1920 to 85,000,
000 tons. It is, however, entirely
within reason to estimate that iron
production will double by 1920, and
give us at that time between 50,000,000
and 60,000,000 tons, which would mean
a rractical doubling of the entire
iron coke and steel Industries 4 of the
country. As other industrial activities
in the long run keep pace with iron
and steel, this would mean that the
general traffic of the country in ten
years will double, unless so hampered
by railroad facilities as to make this
impossible. The problem of the day,
therefore, is to make a possibility the
finding of the $10,000,000,000 needed
for railroad expansion during the next
ten years."
PRACTICAL FLIGHTS ARE

Mr. Wilbur Wright Says He Will Have
Machines of Commercial Value

College Park, Md., Oct. 14. The day
of the use of the aeroplane for busi
ness journeys is almost at hand, de
clares Mr. Wilbur Wright.
In the course of two or three years,
he asserts, he will be building ma
chines that would be of practical use
for making short journeys.
He made this statement in the
course of an interview with Mr. Gus-
tavus A. Duncan, a mining engineer
of Nevada, who visited him at his
shed here. In the mining and desert
regions of the Southwest tnere are
many places which cannot be reached
on horseback or by railroad, and Mr.
Duncan wanted to know if he could
get an aeroplane Dy wnicn to ma.a.e
such trips.
While Mr. Wright could not accom

TO DEDICATE NEW CHURCH.
Magnificent $100,000 Catholic Struc
ture at Asheville.
Asheville, N. C, Oct. 13 Arrange
ments are about complete for the ded
ication here Sunday of the new St.
Lawrence Catholic Church, an edifice
that cost in the. aggregate possibly
more than $100,000. The dedicatory
service will be in charge of Bishop
Haid. There will be many visiting
priests and other prominent Catholics
here to attend the services and to as
sist Rev. Father Marion, the beloved
head of the church in Asheville.
The greater portion of the dedica
tory services will be held outside the
church, beginning about 10:45 o'clock.
The procession will move to the clos
ed doors led bv the cross-bearer, and
followed by Bishop Haid and the
priests. The doors will be opened and
the procession will move down the
aisles while the litany is sung. The
musical program will be elaborate and
in charge of Mrs. O. C. Hamilton, of
Asheville. There will be a choir of
twenty-five voices selected from the
best musical talent of the city.
The last portion of the church to
be completed will be the panel over
the entrance. This panel arrived in
sections yesterday by express from
Boston and will be placed Thursday
and Friday. It will show a figure of
Christ with His disciples and will be
a beautiful thing.

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
An Awful Toll Collected by Consump
tion Many Unnecessary Death
From This Disease.
if people could only understand that
systematic catarrn is an internal ais-
, i -i I
ease tnat external applications can-
not cure, they would not need to be
warned so often about this malady,
wh:ch, when neglected, paves the way
oftentimes for consumption, at the
cost of millions of lives every year,
Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right
treatment is employed.
.
Catarrh is caused by a general ais-
eased state of the system which leads
commonly to annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions, which may
prove a fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External rem-
edies give but temporary ease.
The onlv way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or inter-
nal lining of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infec
tion of consumption and other dis
eases. We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made ca
tarrh a specialty, and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
followed as prescribed. That remedy
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so posi
tive that it will completely overcome
catarrh in all its various forms,
whether acute or chronic, that we
promise to return every penny paid us
for the medicine In every case where
it fails or for any reason does not
satisfy the user.
We want you to ry Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or ris wnen you try Kexaii
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee, we
have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two sizes,
50 cents and $1.00. Very often the
taking of one 50-cent bottle is suffi
cient, to make a marked impression
upon the case. Of course in chronic
cases a longer treatment is necessary.
The average in such instances is three
$1.00 bottles. Remember you can ob
tain Rexall Remedies In Goldsboro on
ly at our store The Rexall Store.

SOUTHERN CHIVALRT.
A Movement Afoot' to Memorialize

From the standpoint of "chivalry"
it is somewhat of a reproach to the
men of the North that while the aid
the women of that section gave to the
cause of the Union is as yet without
public memorial, the men of the South
are raising funds for a monument
commemorating the services and sac
rifices of the women of the South to I
uie uomeaeracy. i

subscribed $20,000 for the monument, I

THE HANDWRITING IS THERE.
When Guglielmo Ferrero, the great
Italian historian, was in this country I
last year he was made much of and I
he was a welcome guest at the White
House. When he went home he told
the people of his countrv that th an-
ti-plutocratic movement in America is I
essentially a struggle between the old I
plicated forms of the struggle which
rent Rome for three centrues.- "In-
dustrialism," he went on to say,
'seems to be destroying a part of the
old-time America of Franklin and I
Washington, and creating an America I
less American than that of the past. I
When and where this destruction will
cease no one can say." I
There is some truth in these state-1
ments. Privilege and special interests I
do run riot in the national tariff bill. I
Trusts and monopolies are crushing
out in divers directions competition. I
But Signor Ferrero is far too pessi- j
mistic. The people are beginnine to I
see the danger that threatens the I
country and they are beginning to I
curb It, to regulate it. I
All that Signor Ferrero asserts was
true ten years aS- Then Con-
Sress and various legislatures
were controlled by bosses and corpo-
rations, but the evil work has been
largely minimized. The public con-
science has been quickened, and the
prospect is that America will be kent

PROF. GILES A SUICIDE
Was Principal of Rosewood
Academy Two Years
Ago.
Threw Himself In Front of a Steam
Road Roller Near AgfcATille
Testerday, Death Result
ing Instantly.
Asheville, N. C, Oct. 13. Mr. J. R.
Giles, a prominent resident of Wil
mington, N. C, and for two weeks an
inmate of an Asheville sanitarium for
mental diseases, sprang from beside
an attendant who was taking him for
a walk at 4 : 30 o'clock Jthis afternoon
and plunged headlong beneath th
wheels of a fifteen-ton steam roller
re-surfacing the macadam road four
miles from Ashevile and his head was
fearfully mashed, death being instant.
Mr. Giles was a high school teacher
twenty-seven years old, who, it is said
nad been morbid and disposed to sui-
cide for half a dozen years, having ia
tne period of his two weeks' stay la
the sanitarium slashed his throat and
sought to get his attendant to allow
him to walk on the railway track. A&
roller passed there was no danger. Mr.
Giles, however, ran around the keeper
an(l threw his head beneath the rear
roller. His astuteness was shown by
the fact that the roller was movine
slowly and the driver could have
stopped the machine if the man had
cast himself in front of the engine.
out Mr. Giles leaped m front of the
rear roller, which the driver could not
see, and his head was crushed beneath
tne ponderous wheel.
Deceased was a grandson of the
late Mr. George V. Strong, for many
years a prominent member of the
Goldsboro bar, and a nephew of Mr.
Clayton Giles, of Wilmington.
Two years ago he served as princl-
Pal of Rosewood Academy in Fork
township, this county, where he waa
highly esteemed, but declined re-elec
tlon or last year's term-
His untimely death and the manner
of his going are deeply deplorable.
