I ChsrlM tilvard Kuurll, in the Msrrh Evrn Ul)ra. We have now about 218,000 miles' of steam-railroad, of which only 15.- j 000 milea are double-tracked. Prac-1 tically the entire mileage should be double-tracked, not only for public safety, but to carry the trallic. If there were no Block-watering, there need be no single tracked-railroada. i The money that normally would have J been used for double-tracking has gone for dividends on the watered j stocks. We have on our steam-rail- j roads thousands of grade-crossings, ( very barbarous and stupid device), ' k. r i.:k ..... i...- I dreds of persons needlessly lose their lives. If there were no stock-watering, there need be no grade-crossing. The money that normally would have been used to abolish these death-traps has gone for dividends on watered stock. In the case of the street railroads, the vile over-crowding, tho strap banging, the monstrous discomfort, the infrequent cars, the bad tracks, the wretched convenience, are mere ly products of stock-watering. The money that normally would have! gone into adequate equipment has gone for dividends on watered stock. Take one of those shop-girls that go to work early in the morning, and come homo after six o'clock at night It is of very great import ance to her that of her If 5 or $6 that she earns by a week of toil the street-car company takes twenty-four cents to pay for the water in its stocks. When she has paid her board and put aside something for her clothing, twenty-four cents is to her an important sum. It is of very great importance to her that for ev ery thousand foK of gas consumed where she lives, her landlady must pay fifty cents for the water in the gas stocks; the landlady only passes the charge (with interest) to the ten ants. It is of very grave importance to this shop-girl that after a day of hard toil at her employment she must stand upon her feet for perhaps an hour and be crushed and crowded and subjected to the grossest idigni ty in the hideous and unutterable conditions that we tolerate in our public conveyances. It is of very crave importance to her; you cannot easily dodge the conviction that is of grave importance to toe rest of society. The next time I see a terribly Bad 8ymptoms.

Mrs. Kincrease, who lives at Pine Hill, near Fort Worth, Texw, is said to have celebrated her 1.12nd birthday last week. She is said to m the oldest wliito person in the world. She is further said to have been born in Halifax county, North C'aroliua, in the year 177i, and to have lived there 100 years' before she went to Texas to grow up witlulhe country, with her family.

Although the outlook for the pas sage of the Appalachian park bill was very bright a few days ago, it now looks as if it would be killed dead. Speaker Cannon has opposed it from the first, and while he is said to have withdrawn his opposition some days ago, he bas now aunounced that the bill shall not pass this con gress, and what he says is law. Con gressman Ilackett of the eighth dis trict, has come out against the bill on the ground that it is unconstitu tional. It has been sent to the bouse judicary committee, where it will likely be pigeonholed. Congressman lates Webb is on tne committee, and he will try to keep it from dying. The impression is general that Mr. Ilackett is playing mighty small politics. He is a Democrat who ought to be kept at home. Father and Son Save Each Other Alternately. J. II. Ilurdieand his son of Ala mance county had an exciting con test with an insolent negro tenant last week. Hurdie reprimanded the negro for neglect of duty on the farm, and the tenant cursed him roundly. Telling him he would have him arreted, Hurdie left. later the negro met him again and took up the thread of his profane discourse. The son, hearing the fuss, seized his gun and got there just in time to prevent the negro from carving tne old roan with an axe. They both turned their backs then, and the ne gro leaped on the man with the gun and it fell to the father's lot to save his son, which he did with the ne gro s axe.

Ijttimer of South Carolina died at I'rovideuce HoNpital in Washington at 9:13 a. ni. Itt Friday, of peritouitia. He had been at the hospital since Suu day, when he underwent an oper ation for appeudicitia. It was then discovered that lie was sulTeriug with a far more serious ailment. The bowels had become twiMed aud his conditiou was found to In such that surgeons held out little bo for his recovery. He willed, how ever, and his progress was satisfac tory until 7 o'clock, when bestead ily beptu to grow worse. At mid night it appeared that recovery was impottsibre. Tbe members of the Senator's family were with him wheu lie died, having been iu formed that there was little hope that he would survivt the nieht. Colonel Band sell, sergeant at arms of the Senate, at once made arrangements for the removal of the body to the Latimer home at ltelton, S. C. Mr. Latimer was 57 years of age. He was oue of the moat earnest and couscieutions committee workers Congress, being a member of the com mi I tee on agriculture, immi gration, manufacturei, public buildings and grounds as well as others of less importance. He rag esiecially interested in good roads and probably did more to promote the national movement for govern ment building of good roads than auy other member of Congress. He was the author of the Latimer good roads bill. r mil lMn ai hv Mr. TW1 Thev f . I . 1 . . .

Mr. Mctilawnorno was conscious and said to his son, w ho was among those who rushed out, that some one arose iu the darkness aud with the words, "You are the man I have been looking for," shot him down. Mr. McGlawhorne was carried lo his house, where every effort was made to save his life, but he died next morning. 1 lie assailant left no trace and tlie ttl.tUvi Itiu tin . . ..o bUv w ii. identity. Russian General Sentenced to Death. Gen. Stoeseel, who commanded Port Arthur aud surrendered it to the Japanese on January 1, l!io.r, after one of the most fearful seiges ol modern times, has been sentenced to death by a Hussian court martial for surrendering the fort, winch hie accusers claim could have been held against tho Japanese six weeks longer. The world does not que tiou the bi uvery of this man, who when his trial began announced to the court that, if it was fouud that his action had been a mistake he deserved the death sentence. Hut it Is characteristic of Russian met h ods that the sins of somebody else shall be visited upon other heads. The court recommended that the death sentence tie changed to im prisonment for ten years. Coddled Him But Wouldn't Touch Her. lxlNgtun IM.patt-h. Kev. Edw. Fnlcnwider, at the Lutheran church Sunday, uttered some plain remarks aliout the puri ty of the home, aud bis sermon served to remind a man of a con versation with his wife that will aptly illustrate the working of a double standartl of morals, one for men and one for women. The niau questioned the propriety of admit ting a certain young man into a certain home, on the ground that he had blasted the life of a young woman. His wife pointed out that the young man in question moved in the licst circles. "Hut they wouldn't think of ad mitting the young lady," objected tbe husband. "In fact they would not wipe their feet on her." "Uu, but that's ditlerent," was the feminine reply. Tbe paragraphers are still try ing to get some fun out of leap year.

Love took a big boil er, oue hundred horse ower ca pacity, out to his mill at 1'uiou rille last Tuesday. It took four teen big n.ulea to pull tbe boiler. Mrs. Kit-hard Sneed of tbe Mar vin neighborhood died right aud denly Sunday night, February 9th. About two o'clock Sunday morn ing she had stroke of paralysis aud died about seven o'clock the next uight. The remains were bur ied tbe ueit day at Ilelair church. She was about forty years of age and is survived by a husband aud eight children. Mrs. Sueed was a good woman and her husband and children have the sympathy of all in their sad bereaveineuL The home of Mrs. Julia Morrison of Morven was the seeue of a most distressing accident Monday after noon of lant week, Mrs. Morrison's aged mother, who was helpless on account of recent fall, being burned to death. Mrs. Morrison aud her mother, Mrs. Jane Me Iean, who was about 90 years of age, lived together. Late Monday afternoon tbe daughter went to tbe home of a neigh txr, leaving her mother ou the bed, which she was not able to leave on account of in juries received in a fall some months ago. Returning some time later Mrs. Morrison was horrified to find the bed clothing ou fire and the dead body of her mother lying on the Door behind the bed, where she had fallen in trying to escape from the burning bed. Mrs. Garrison Medlin received a message a few days ago stating that her cousiu, Mr. W. S. Hemby, died last Friday iu Memphis, Tenn., from injuries received by falling from a street car a few days before. Mr. Hemby was a native of Vance township, this county, and was a son of the late Mr. Thomas Hemby. In early life he took up priutingas a profession aud soon reached high mark, Incoming editor of the Char lotte Chronicle. From Charlotte Mr. Hemliy went to Chicago where he published a hardware trade journal wiuning signal success in that field. Almut three years ago ue, went to Memphis and took fue editorship of tbe Journal of Com merce and was at the head of that publication when be died. De ceased was aliout 47 years old and unmarried. He wasa mau of bright mind and a gentleman of high type. Messrs. 1). J. Hemby of Charlotte and J. 1). Hemby are brothers and Mrs. A. J. Williams of Matthews ind Mrs. M. K.

Ash- craft was elected chairman pro tem. Rev. R. II. Cline was elected sec retary. Tbe chair appointed R. B. Redwine, T. C. Lee aud li A. morrow a committee to select an executive committee. The com mittee reported the following to act as a committee to organize tho township aud to devise plans and means to carry on an aggressive campaign for the cause of prohibi tion in Union county: Dr. J.M. Belk, A. W. Riggers, G. 8. Lee, Kev. R. H. Cline, T. P. Dillon. By motion K. B. Kedwine, T. C. Lee and F. B. Ashcraft were added to the committee. Immediately after adjournment the executive com mittee met and formulated plans to beL'iu the work in earnest. Let everybody rally to this great work, so that wheu the election is over it cau be said that North Carolina gave the largest majority for pro hibition of any election ever held in ber history. Of the arrest of E. P. Teal, tbe Anson man who, partially insane, for a long time seemed to be a kind of desperado, the Messenger and Intelligencer says: "Last Saturday Messrs. Win. Newman aud Horace Moore, Seaboard Air Line railroad detectives, went to the store of Mr Marsh to look for Mr. Teal. He was not there at the time, but soon afterward came in from Mr.Marah's residence nearby. At this time Messrs. Newman and Moore were on the outside of the store and had A Boston weak and sickly. schoolboy was tall, if Hit arms were soft and flabby. He didn't have a strong muscle in his entire body.

Of course the first tbiug the detectives wanted to do was to secure Mr. Teal's pistol, aud this Mr. Moore did almost at once. The struggle routiuued for quite awhile, uutii dually Mr. Teal broke away from bis raptors and took position le hind tbe counter in the store. He maintained bis place here for some time, but finally agreed to surren der himself without further trouble, Mr. Moore, dnringthe first part of the struggle, struck Mr. Teat on the bead with his (Teal's) pistol. inflicting a slight wound, but oue that bled profusely. Monday Mr. Teal was taken to Mouroe. aud placed in jail, where he will re main nntil he can be gotten into the State Hospital at Morganton. Mr. Teal expressed himself as pre ferring to be carried to Monroe to remaining here." The Great Feats of Wade Hampton. To the Sailor f The Journal : Cut wood, make fires, feed stock is Die order of the day now. This winter reminds me of the winter of 1805. On February 1st Gen. Sher man left Savannah, (la., with G0,MXJ infantry, 5,000 cavalry and artillery to match. He entered Columbia Feb ruary 17th and laid it in ashes and lied about it by charging it to Wade Hampton. He said be did that to destroy the confidence the people of South Carolina had in their noble general, but his lies failed to do it. The abolitionists chained the bull dogs of South Carolina and turned the lice and curs loose, but that was not to last always. The bull does got loose. Scott, Moses and Cham berlain fled the State. ade Hamp ton mounted his white charger that had carried him through thick and thin for four long years. He can vassed every county from the moun tains to the seashore. Simon Boliver liberated Brazil with negro soldiers; Hampton liberated South Carolina with negro voters. The good people of South Carolina showed their love for him by lirst electing him Gover nor, then to the United States Senate. The good book tells us the chil dren of Israel were happy in the land of Goshen under Pharaoh and Joseph, mils.... ., . ., n..,u .Vj Joseph a people got in power who knew not Joseph. And a set of men got in power in South Carolina who knew not or cared not for the great deeds of Wade Hampton on the field of battle or anywhere else. They almost gave him the same treatment Spain gave Columbus, and the I ni tcd Stab's gave to JclTcrson Davis after he had spilled his blood to save the day at Palo Alto, Mexico, which added millions of acres to her domain. But South Carolina, like England towards Oliver Cromwell: after his death they dug him up and hung his dead body, buried it, and after many years erected a monument over bis ashes. Hampton's enemies buried him politically in his old ago, but last year erected a monument over him in Columbia. He saved Lee's army from starration in December, IMil. One of his scouts informed him that there were 5,000 beef cattle in King and Queen counties, Vir ginia, fattenning for Grant's army. Hampton took 500 cavalrymen and went down there and got them, but had to cut his way through two lines of battle to get them to Gen. Lee's famished soldiers. I see that Mr. Robinson, Lancaster county s representative, has intro duced a bill in the South Carolina legislature to appropriate $500 to erect a monument in Lancaster coun ty, S. C.,at the birthplace of Andrew Jackson. If they erect it they will have to move it as often as the bones of Columbus have been moved, for no two men will agree on the same spot. All the history they have to back their judgment is tbe testimony of old Aunt Kizzy, Col. Crawford's Cook, who said she had waited on the table when Gen. Jackson board ed there when he was going to school at old Waxhaw Academy, near Lands- Iford, before the war. Oliver Edison 61 Years Old. Thomas A. Edison, the wizard, was 61 years old on the 1 1th, having been born in low at Milan, Ohio. He is the world s most famous in ventor in electrical realms. At 14 years of age he was left to himself, and became a newsboy, then tele graph operator, and at 21 was the most expert operator in America. He began improving the telegraph in struments, made monev enough to establish a factory in New Jersey, and there for many years ho has been turning out inventions that have startled tbe world. On his birthday he worked all the time and forgot he was three score and one that day. He is engaged now on plans for building houses of concrete which will last a hundred years and be so cheap that anybody can have one. What Everybody Wants.

Tarbell writes an euter taiuing and friendly character sketch of Governor 1 1 ughes. loan early uumlier William Allen White is to publish a pen picture of Sec retary Taft. 1 Mim Tarbell tells tbe whole story , of the rise of Hughes. All sorts of new and iliumiuatiug persoual facts are brought out Iu conclusion Miss Tarbell presents tbe following view j of what Governor Hughes stands lor: "He certainly has a passion for democracy. Governor Hughes is no mere bureaucrat, luteut simply on doing the day's work well, with out any idea of its relation to tbe tendencies of the times. He is a man keeuly alive to the unrest of the nation, aud keenly convinced that there are real reasons for that Unrest. He believes that grave abuses have grown np under our present system, which if it is to stand must be corrected. All of his elTort is directed toward this cor rectiou. Charles E. Hughes is en gaged in a passionate effort to vin dicate the American system of the government. "The means he employs are sim ple, direct aud understandable. They are based entirely on a seri ous faith in the people. Tbe whole substance of bis theory of action hinges on this faith: Do ever) thing in the open make everything clear force every man to make good or make way for a successor. To men who prefer to befuddle rather than eulighten the people, who believe in tbe secrecy aud scheming, the Hughes programme seems childish until they come tu contact with it! Then, as in Albany last win ter, their best laid plaus shrivel up and disappear. "if the Hughes way of working could be carried into national poli tics, there is every reason to be lieve that it would be as enective and as wholesome as it has proved in etate politics. All that this ar ticle aims to do, however, is to poiut out what is most significant in bis record of the last three years, that it may serve sb a basis of judg ment as to w hat to expect from bim n the future. This much seems certain another term of him as Governor of New York State would be a blessing to the whole country; he would be admirable iu the Sen be a strength on the Supreme bench. There are plenty of honor able places for Charles E. Hughes. He should be kept in one of them. Mr. Lincoln's famous reply to Gen. Grant's many bitter critics, 'I can't spare this man, he fights,' may well be paraphrased for Gov. Hughes, We cant spare this man, be works.' " The Troubles of Negroes in the North. Iu the March American Maga zine Hay Stannard linker tells story after story of the troubles ol negroes in the North. In New York Mr. Biker bad a talk with William L. Buckley, the colored principal of School No. 80, ho told him of the great difficul ties and discouragements whicli confronted the Nsgro boy who wanted to earn hisjiving. He re lates this story: "I received a communication the other day from an electric com pa ny stating that they could use some bright, clean, industrial boys in their business, starting them at so much a week aud aiding them to learn tbe business. I suspected that they did not comprehend col ored boys nnder the generic terms 'boys,' but thought to try. So I wrote asking if they would give employment to a colored boy who could answer to the qualifications stated. The next mail brought the expected reply that no colored boy, however promising, was wanted. I heaved a sigh and went on. "The saddest thing that faces me in my work is the small opportun ity for a colored boy or girl to find proper employment. A boy comes to my ofuee and asks Tor his work ing papers. Ho may be well np in the school, possibly with gradua tion only a few months ofl. I ques tion somewhat as follows: 'Well, my boy, yon want to go to work, do you!' 'I am going to be a door- boy, sir.' 'Well, you will get 2.60 or (11.00 a week, but after awhile that will not be euongh; what then!' After a momeut's pause he will re ply: 'I should like to be an office boy.' 'Well, what nextf A mo ment's silence, and, 'I should try to get a position as bell boy.' 'Well, then, what next!' A rather con templati ve mood and then, 'I ahonld like to climb to the positiou of head liell boy.' He has now arrived at the top; farther than this be sees no hope. He must face the bald fact tbat he must enter business as a boy and wind np as a boy."

It will abolish every licensed whiskev mid Lrandv distillerv in tbn State. .... It will abolish every saloon and dispensary in the State. It will stop the wine traffic within the State. For wine can lw sold only at the place of manufacture in quantities of two and one- nan gallons or more and not shipped anywhere in the State. It will stop the sale of all those chemical mixtures bv whatever name known that will produce intoxication. It will place under the most stringent and bindinjr regulations pharmacists and physicians, who may handle intoxicating liquors for medical purposes only. It will allow the officials of anv countv or town to remilate or nro- hibit the sale of intoxicating liouors by pharmacists in the druir stores. 2. WHAT IT WILL NOT DO.

It will not stop the manufacturer from making his wine and ship ping it outside of the State. It will not stop the sale of those medical preparations and essences that may have alcoholtin them to preserve them or to hold the me dicinal agents in solution, such as camphor, vanilla, etc. It will not repeal existing laws. ( ounties like Union, which al ready have strict prohibition laws, will not be effected one way or the other. It will not prohibit the sale of wine to ministers or church officials for sacramental purposes. It this law tails to be ratified by the people at the polls on May 2fith, 1908, it will not affect the present status of any existing pro hibition law in the State. In other words, the dry territory will not be changed. 3. We are sure when you have studied this law you will agree with us that it is fair. Under this law, Greensboro's voting wet would not make it wet, and Salisbury's voting dry would not make it dry. Under local op tion Greensboro has voted dry, and as a locality she must remain so until the locality as such votes wet, while Salisbury has voted the other way. This vote on "the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors m North Carolina is quite a different thing from local op tion. Again, this law is njrht. For the influence of lmuor is never local. Salisbury or Wilmington citizens, while controlling the sale of the traffic, do not control the dangerous and damaging influence of this traffic. I his influence is felt for hundreds of miles around, hvery citizen in the State has a right to self-protection against the influ ence of this traffic, now centered at a few points, and the only way of protection is the abolition of the traffic throughout the State.
