THE WLMINUT01ir MESSENGER, FRIDAY, APEILa lo, . Craven and That Le&se. Suppose the affairs of Craven county had been conducted and managed by a board of county commissioners com posed of republicans, and the sum of $2,000, more-or less, belonging to the taxpayers had been set aside for the employment of lawyers to break a railroad lease made by a democratic administration In Raleigh? We shud der at the thought. There would have been indictments galore. There would have been charges of conspiracy magistrates would work overtime sign ing bonds. i That being the case and few citi zens will take a contrary view why should it end like a summer dream because the commissioners of Craven county happen to be democrats? Why, indeed, should a part of the taxes paid by the Howland Improvement Com pany be used to annul a bona fide lease held by that company? And why should this extravagance, this misman- agement and this utter disregard ofj" V , , law be forgotten when the county com- tnem- In Planning the menu we may, mlssioners repudiated their own action to some extent carry out the color and then forced the citizens to pay H??

Even if it may be said that there has been too much politics in the At lantic and North Carolina railroad heretofore it will not hurt to inject a little more into' the issue now that the road is out of the hands of the state, but when one man, with one share of stock., is attempting, with the aid of public moneys, to divert the property from business channels to a political quagmire. The Hill suit will be a leading issue in the next campaign because there could have been none without the support from the board of commis sioners.

Mr. Hill, it seems, took no part in the meeting, but his suit was only brought when he had the promise of the commissioners that they would bear the cost. That of itself was sufficient ground upon which Judge Long could dismiss the plain- tiffs cause, yet there was stronger law , to make the state a contract Dinmng. In North Carolina few of us know what stand the supreme court will take on any subject. As an abstract proposition, however, even the lay mind cannot conceive how that court can reverse itself. But there is not the same degree of uncertainty about the s'tuation in Craven county, and the hope of the taxpayers must rest with a new board. An it is well, too. to remember what might have happened this week if that board had been republican and not democratic. Raleigh Times.

In almost every instance, the peas ants elected were not only progres sives, but the majority of them, at least, had a- high school education. In the Volga district and the central provinces, where famine and agrarian disorders have been the greatest, the peasant vote was most radical. In Samara, bv a vote of 86 to 8, they chose M. Guttandont. a Socialist, while the members elected by the college were a doctor, for Zemtoists and five progressive peasants. Even Cossack Tribe Radical. The effect of the revolutionary out breaks at Sebastopol was reflected In the results in Taurida. which the peas ants chose a Social Revolutionist. In the province of Grodno, in the Jewish pale, a solid progressive dele gation was chosen, included among it being two Jevrr. Tver, where Governor General Slept zoff was assassinated Saturday, was swept by the constitutional democrats by an overwhelming majority.

While no definite results of the mu nicipal elections held today are known, they seem also everywhere to have gone in favor of the progressives.

After taking a course thej subscriber was guaranteed to be able; to influence anyone in a magnetic or hypnotic way.

One of the charms prescribed for those who desired to have and to hold the affections of the opposite sex con tained, among other ingredients, the directions to "take three white hairs from the tail of a black cat" and bum them with the other constituents of the potion. The directions neglected to state how the cat was to be induced! to keep quiet while the hairs were be- ing extracted, nor did it give directions to the person who would necessarily! hold the animal while the operation was being performed. When the "College" was raided the officials found 18 young women work ing for White, typewriting, mailing his books on "The Higher Occult Science" and putting uo and wrapping a por- tion, warranted to cause love at first nght. This potion was known aa White's "love powder." and accompa nying it were sent out certain prayers which individuals desirous of attract ing and holding the affections of thej opposite sex were directed to wear in bags around his or her neck.

Mash the cream cheese with a fork, adding just enough cream to make It slightly moist and mold In tiny balls. Order the fancy cakes from the caterer. Make a pint of thin cream sauce with a scant pint of milk, one tablespoonful and a half of butter, two scant tablespoonfuls of flour and salt and pepper to taste. Next morning soak one quarter of package of granulated gelatine in a little cold water and when soft melt over hot water. To three cupfuls of the cream add one cupful of powdered sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla, two tablespoonfuls of sherry, a few drops of maraschine and the dissolved gela tine; stir frequently and when the mixture shows signs of thickening whip steadily until it Is a spongy froth.

Pare and thinly slice the cucumbers and let them stand in ice water. Heat the clear soup, mix three cupfuls of it with the heated rhin cream sauce, see that it is properly seasoned and strain ' into a double boiler all ready to heat at the proper time. In a saucepan I make a thick sauce with one table-, spoonful of butter, one tablespoonful , of flour and two thirds of a cupful of milk. Mix this with the prepared fish, season with salt, pepper, a few drops each of onion and lemon juice. Set aside for half an hour then mix with j the stiffly whipped whites of three eggs ' and fill small buttered timbale molds, These are to be arranged in a shallow dripping pan. In a small saucepan cook together two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour, add gradually one cupful of strained chicken stock and : one cupful of thin cream, stirring until ' smooth and thick. Season highly, sim- mer three minutes then arrange to re-! heat (if necessary) over hot water as a sauce for the fish, adding just before ' serving, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and a tablespoonful of chopped parsley. The asparagus tips are to be boiled in salted water until tender this will take about twenty minutes and are to be served dressed with melt ed butter. The chops have been Frenched before delivery. There now remains the berries to be washed and served on plates group ing them round an egg cup filled with sugar. With the soup course serve pulled bread, tearing a fresh loaf in long strips and placing it in the oven long enough to crisp and brown it. . Pour boiling water round the timbales ' and cook in a moderate oven until firm in the centre-about twenty min utes. Turn out and serve with a little sauce over them; dress the cucumbers with a plain French dressing. Fry the brains in deep fat. Broil the chops and garnish with paper frills, serving the peas and croquettes with them. Turn out the quince jelly, surround with the cheese balls and serve with' the salad.

" 'Well, what is it?' said he. "The boy, from, a group of young sters, called up: " 'Jimmy Smith wouldn't believe you had no hair on the top of your head.' " A Romance of Modern Business. The brilliant manner in which an American solved a Russian naval problem of a truly appalling nature is the subjest of an article in the cur rent Harper's Weekly by Henry Town send, who describes Lewis Nixon's re cent achievement in building for the Russian government ten torpedo boats in fifteen weeks. The story is one of those romances of business with which, as Mr. Townsend remarks, the world is growing daily more familiar, but wrhich are none the less engrossing for that. The task that was set Mr. Nixon presented seemingly insurmountable difficulties. He was required to deliv er to the Russian government complete in every particular, ten torpedo boats and the time allowed for their con struction was less than four months. Not only had all the material for these boats to be collected in the United States, properly numbered as to parts, carefully created, and this, of course, within the shortest possible time; but from the day of the arrival in Russia of this great mass of material only six weeks were granted to the builder in which to launch the first torpedo boat with everything in place upon her and within her. The forfeit for failure to perform this task would have meant a loss to the contractor of $50,000. Mr. Nixon accomplished his task, even ex ceeding the requirements as to speed and endurance.

UUCiv SEABURY HITS JEROME Judge Replies to Criticism of the Dis trict Attorney More Trouble for the Latter. That portion of District Attorney Jerome's reply to his critics In which he animadverted on Judge Samuel Seabury's conduct of the trial of Me Cabe, the Metropolitan Street Railway Company's- lawyer, on a bribery charge, has been promptly answered by the man criticised. The district attorney withdrew from the McCabe case because Judge Sea bury refused to accept the word of Jamw I- Ouackenbush cp.nral onnntvt for the New York City Street Railway j Company, that vouchers for payments, of money were destroyed after one, year. I "Then it appeared to the district at- torney." Mr. Jerome is auotea as say ing "that Justice Seabury's court was ( no longer a forum in which any self-1 respecting lawyer would consent to remain unless he was compelled to." j Here is Judge Seabury's reply: "I have heretofore refrained from . making any criticism of the district at- i torney in reference to the Metropoli tan cases. His attack upon me in 'The Times' of today in which he re fers to the court over which I preside as 'no longer a forum in which any self-respecting lawyer could remain unless he was compelled to," seems to me to make it proper for me to state the true facts in reference to the ex traordinary conduct of the district at torney. "I know of no principle in our juris prudence which substitutes the word of a 'gentleman' for legal proof. If that principle were recognized no "gen tleman' could be convicted except upon his. own confession. In these Metro-j politan cases I certainly would not take the word either of Quackenbush or the district attorney in lieu of legal proof. "Shortly before the hearing in the McCabe case the District attorney call- i ed upon me in my private chambers and told me that he had secured the ', attendance of Bagg. who had a state- j ment to make. At no time did he sug- j gest or intimate to me that Bagg in- j tended to repudiate the confession i which he had previously made. J "During the whole time that the district attorney participated in the hearing he conducted himself as if he were the leading counsel for the de fence. He commenced by attempting to discredit the testimony of the com plainant, and. when it became evident to him that he would not be permitted . to further obstruct the hearing, he f withdrew from the case. I regret very much that he ecr came into it. I never saw or heard of a district attor- I ney who conducted himself in a case j as the district attorney did in the Mc Cabe case. In my judgment no self- respecting lawyer would act as he did j in that case. j "The district attorney seems to think that it is his function to assail any pub- i lie official who ventures to disagree i with him. It is time that he began to ' realize that it is not his duty to insult other officials, and that he should appreciate his own true relation to the courts in which he is called upon to practise." District Attorney Jerome said he didn't wish to reply at the present time. The apparent friendliness of the dis trict attorney's office toward the rail way company's general counsel, hinted at by Judge Seabury and shown in Mr. Jerome's recent statement, is also ex hibited in correspondence with A. Ed ward Woodruff, of No. Ill Broadway, who first brought the alleged jury fix ing to the attention of the State Bar Association. Mr. Woodruff wrote the district attorney in January asking him about the Tillinghast case. In reply acting District Attorney Charles Nott wrote a letter in which was highly laudatory mention of the conduct of the legal department of the railway company by Mr, Quackenbush. "The criticism that I think is prop-! erly charged against the district attor- i ney's office is that the office is paid to I search out and prosecute crime, and j that it is no part of the duty of the said office to erect defences for those 4 who are charged in any way with its ; commission," said Mr. Woodruff yes-. terday ! Louis E. Julian, the former Metro- j politant Railway investigator, was a! good deal stirred up by Mr. Jerome's , statement that he had refused to give information to the district attorney's oince. i Not only have I always been ready to give the district attorney every fact he wanted," he said last night, "but I have given him a whole lot of infor mation with reference to many jury fixing cases that lies buried in his of fice. "Mr. Jerome has had information about some alleged crimes for over two years. What hes become of the papers in. the case of Willie Green against the Metropolitan, sent to the district attorney by Black, Olcott & Gruber? What has become of the Wimfpheimer case, which has been al lowed to sleep since June. 1904? And there are many others. "The fight against the Metropolitan has only just begun. A large number of cases are-being looked into but you may be sure that they won't be carried to the district attorney." New York Tribune. Did He Get It? In rural Maine, when one has an es pecially hard or disgreeable task to perform, one "calls in the neighbors." At such times the work performed is done without money and without price, except that the host must provide abundant refreshments, both nourish ing and intoxicating. At such times the winter supply of fire-wood is cut, the timber felled and piled, the frames of buildings raised. Often the host has trouble to find the Intoxicants, Maine being a drouthy state. This was Clancy's dilemma when he entered the city agency at Bangor. Straight in front of him a sign hung: "Liquor Sold for Use in Sickness or for Mechanical Purposes Only." "I want two gallons of old rum," he announced. The agent pointed wearily to the sign. "I saw that." said Clancy, "I've been reading it" "Are you sick?" "No." "What do you want it for?" queried "Got to have it." replied Clancy, cheerfully, "for mechanical purposes. I'm going to raise a barn."

It Is now almost an assured fact that the South and Western will come to Rutherford ton and connect with the caovn i TJnA at this nlace. The old route, first surveyed, down Cove j and Mountain creeks. It Is said by re- J liable parties in a position to .know, has been abandoned and the line will now come by way of Thermal City and Union Mills and will parallel the Southern Railway from the McDowell . county line to this town, mere are now two surveying corps between Rutherfordton and Marion going over this latter route so as to locate the best possible line. The corps which has been located here for the past month is now making the final survey of the route from Thermal City here, after which the location will be made. So the prospect for this new road is most flattering. The only question that now seems to be worrying our citizens is. "Will the road enter the town, or connect with the Seaboard Air Line at their station and leave us outby a mile as the others have done?" Two lines have been surveyed for the Sea board connection. One goes directly to the Seaboard depot, and the other down Gleghorn creek through the western portion of the town, the lat ter, of which it Is hoped and believed, will be selected. The outlook for the building of the South and Western railway from the coal fields of West Virginia and Ken tucky via Rutherfordton to Spartan burg. S. C. and perhaps Clinton, is splendid. Abundant capital Is behind this gigantic enterprise, which prom ises to be the best and most costly road in the country. It is estimated that the average cost per mile, with seventeen tunnels in eighteen miles over the Blue Ridge, will far exceed $100,000 per mile. The excavations and embankments are being made from twenty to twenty-two feet wide, large enough for a double track rail road, while the grade, one-half of one per cent, is an ideal one for heavy coal trains carrying sixty to sixty five cars. Three thousand laborers, scattered in fourteen camps, are at work betwee Spruce Pine and a point four miles south of Marlon. At Toe river near Spruce Pine, three piers of concrete masonrv have been finished, and a splendid steel bridge is now being placed across the stream, and when completed, trains will be running to the tunnel. There are five tunnels through solid rock on too of the Blue Ridge. These tunnels are 2.265, 1,900, 1,600. C80 and 300 feet long, and are located between camp No. 1. near Spruce Pine, and camp No. 3 on the dividing line between Mitchell and McDowell coun ties. The most improved machinery with compressed air drills is being used on the seventeen tunnels piercing through the Blue Ridge mountains. Twelve boilers of 60-horse-power each, with 10 drill capacity, are boring with all possible speed. Five more boilers and drills, using compressed air, will soon be at work. Working at both ends of the tunnels with two sets of la borers, night and day, they bore in rock under the mountain only twelve feet per day on an average. So one can readily see what a titan tic and slow work it is. yet it is claim ed that this work will be completed In one and one-half years. Seven steam shovels, one near Marion and six be j'ond the mountains, are hastening the grading work. From Spruce Pine to the top of the Blue Ridge is seven miles; from Spruce Pine to Marion is twenty-one miles by direct road, but by the railroad it will approximate thirtv-flve miles, requiring superb en gineering skill for a road so nearly level. There is not a trestle on the entire line. The company is asking for ho bonds, and is moving rapidly in its work. It is said that the grading will be finished, the track laid and trains running to Spartanburg by May, 1908. The Pennsylvania railroad and the Thnmns v Rvan svndicate. which con trols the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line, are the financial backers behind the new enterprise, and that the road will now be built is a fact that cannot be further doubt ed. The election of Mr. Alfred Wal ter, chairman of the board of direc tors of the South and Western, to the presidency of the Seaboard Air Line on April 4. shows conclusively that the two roads are closely allied.
