RAILROAD TALK It I Going the Hounds That the Connecting Link in the Charle. ton-Sat annnh Line Will lie litwlt From M lice to .Monroe in m Few Months. The report has been spreac . ) many times that work was to be roui niencHi in the Seaboard link from McBee to Monroe that very little credence can be placed in tl.om. but the Charlotte Observer seem;- to have ascertained definitely that not only the work will be started shortly, but that the line will be completed In a tew months. We Rive the crtU'.e in full below: A few years ago Mr. W. L. Bonsai began fchuveling sand, laying ties and stringing mils in the section about Hamlet, lie was a mau of little talk, but of great accomplishment. Pretty soon the State opened its eyes to the fact that railroads were being built throughout the sandhill regions of the State, and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Company became aware of the same fact It was not long un til we heard that the Seaboard had annexed Bousal. This railroad build er was at the time rapidly heading ' '.n the direction of Charlotte. One of bis railroads is still coming and will be here by way of Monroe In the course of a few months. The Sea board put lionsal to work in the ac complishment of its great schene fur a new and direct Treigh and :u-kou-ger line between New Yoik and Savannah. Donsal bad the line built from Hamlet to Charleston in short order and then lie set to work on the main and Important link In the ex tension from that city to Savannah. A few days a party of bankers and financiers were the guests of the Seaboard on a tour of inspection of bonsai's work on the Savannah bronch. They were carried on a flat car, so as to have the best opportuni ty to observe what the Charleston News and Courier "the Donsal thoroughness." All appeared to have been Impressed with the fine charac ter of road-building that has been ac complished and the extraordinary possibilities of the country thus open ed to the markets. Of the road, it self, the News and Courier says that "for directness and lack of grade and curve, this extension. In considera tion of its length 85 miles Is without a parallel in the entire coun try. An air-line being impossible ow ing to the concave curvature of the coast, a "frjlist Ji? b,aa been,.ap - pronftInt?JfrOne stretch of dead straight truck is forty miles long; an other twenty odd miles, curves are few and the grade, at its worst per cent which is negligible. Be cause of these advantages, the ef ficiency of a freight locomotive will be Increased 127 1-2 per cent. Trains with loaded cars more than a mile In length will be operated without difficulty, thereby cutting cost to a minimum." Mr. Davis Warfleld, chairman of the board of directors of the Sea board, and whom our Charleston con temporary well describes as "a nota ble friend of the south," was a mem ber of the inspection party, and Is quoted as claiming that with the seasoning of the low grade route be tween Hamlet and Savannah, "this be the main line for through passen ger and freight service between New York and Florida." Undoubtedly I he Seaboard has made an Important stroke In Southern railroad develop ment through the conception of this line to Savannah. For the present, perhaps this project will round out the 'Seaboard's trunk line plans and after that we may be encouraged to Lope that it will direct Its attentions to the development of its branch lines upon one of which Charlotte Is located. That it will get around to this In time has always been a gen erally accepted conclusion. What would stand In the way of Rending lionsal Xroin Savannah to Ruther fordton and' put him at work carry ing out the original plans of the Sea board builders of the Wilmington- Charlotte and Rutherfordton Rail road, now incorporated Into the Sea board, of pushing on from Ruther fordton to an outlet on the west? The people In this part of the Seaboard's territory would like to borrow Bon sai for that particular job. Corinth News, Correspondence of The Journal. Monroe, Route 9. Nov. .23 Mrs. R. S.

Amsterdam Dispatch. Whether the war would end before October, 1916, was the subject of a $120,000 bet recently liquidated at Amsterdam. The members of the re sepctlvc groups concerned were prin rlpally stock exchange and commer clal men and the bet was entered iu- to last year. Both parties had Insured their chances of losing on policies for which 10 per rent premium was paid. and the risk of such policies was distributed over various companies. The winners of the bet had $108, 000 to distribute and the losers had to pay $12,000. The main loss fell upon the Insurance combination. 911,400 Taken By Bank Kobbers in Oklahoma.

IWrer we them while ADAMSOX LAW INVALID The Judge, in Declaring It Uncon stitutional, Says Derision Wm tendered Xot on Mature Consider ation, But to (Jet it to the Supreme Court Quickly. The .Vdamson eight-hour law was held unconstitutional at Kansas City Mo., Wednesday by Juage William C. Hook in the United Slates District Court. The t..-c:t made it plain ;Swt iiO uec.sicn . us not based on ui:ure considertiou ( f the merits cf the case but on expediency desired by au rartica at Interest because or the ne cessity of a final division by the Su preme Court of the United States be for January next, when the law goe3 into effect. The legal moves In the process of sending the case direct to the highest court of the. land were somewhat involved from the lay point of view, but the lawyers concerned rushed the matter through with a speed seldom witnessed In courU of law. Just, what action Attorney General Greg ory would take remained a closely guarded secret until yesterday when Frank Hagerman, retained as special counsel to represent the Federal Gov ernment In the suit, suddenly set the ball rolling by asking Judge Hook to instruct the receiver for the Mis sourie, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad, complalntant in ai inJuneU-M cult, to join with th i'd..nt i.i ;.oeeed ings wnicn . iu censiFU t':? case on Its merits to the Supreme Court. Today these events transpired In court by agreement: 1 Counsel for the receivers asked that their bill for an injunction be granted and the Adamson law be de clared null and void. 2 Mr. Hagerman for the Govern ment asked the court to dismiss the bill and to declare the law constltu tlonal. 3 Court overruled Mr. Hagerman and declared the law invalid 4 Preparation for a transcript of the evidence for presenatlon to the Supreme Court was begun and it was expected that the mails would deposit copies in ashington by Saturday. o Counsel for the receivers were Instructed to notify counsel for all railroads of the moves made here and to invite them to join In the case be fore the Supreme Court, The present case in view of Mr Hagerman, provides all of the factors necessary for a test case but It was saw by James Dunlap, ot. the legal starr or tne Aietnsont Topeka a Santa re, that among lawyers, there Is some difference of opinion on this point. He said that in some quarters It was thought that perhaps one or two additional test cases should be brought to afford a wider range of inquiry and analysis. The Missouri, Oklahoma & Gull Railroad is in the hands of a receiver and the receiver could do only as dl rected by Judge Hook, who has the final say In the direction of tho road's affairs. Mr. Dunlap said that certain additional fine phases of the law might develop in a case where the complaint was Independent. The case of the Santa Fe Is sched uled to come up berore Judge Pollock In the United States District Court In Kansas City, Kan., tomorrow. There was much Interest as to what effect, if any, Judge Hook's decision would have on this case. Mr. Dunlap said that until the arrival tomorrow of his associates he could not predict wnat action would be taken. Mr Hagerman said that he saw no rea son why every question Involving the anla re and all other railroads could not be settled by today's test. One result of the proceedings In juage hook's court was the elimina tion of brotherhood chairmen of Kan sas as defendants to the action. United States District Attorney Wil son remained the only defendant. Ill'BE AXI) HIS JITXEY Mr. Horley Wants to IJuv Sonic Stock, While Prospect Is I'p In Arms, nut .Mr. lcmmond W ill Ap pease Their Ire With -a Xew In rentlon. Mr. E. D. Worley said this morn ing that he didn't know Mr. R. W. Lemmond was a railroad promoter, aa be had been thinking all along that he was Clerk of Court. How ever, Mr. Worley feels like that he would subscribe for a little stock In the enterprise If Mr. Lemmond would build the road by planting time. And Messrs. P. W. Plyler and S. A. Lathan are "het" up because Mr. Lemmond failed to state that his proposed line would go by Prospect, the "hub" of Buford. Col. Byres Is also anxious that railroad work be commenced, not that he could work, but to use his own words "so he could sit on the bank and watch them." But Mr. Lemmond, although he has slighted Protpect and the Government station at Rock Rest, has something on foot that will more than recompense these sections for their loss. He is work ing on a solution that will destroy the force of gravity, thereby ennbllng a man to soak ten or twelve bales of cotton In it, heft them on his back and carry them to town. Any weight could be carried in this way. as when the force of gravity Is destroy ed, it would not fall to the earth but would amb'e easily alone. If a man wanted to get anywhere in a hurry. all he would have to do would be to saturate himself in the solution, flap his hands in the air, like a bird doei Its wings, and hit It for town. No other section in the country would be permitted to use this solution save Prospect and the other sections that were slighted by the Jitney line. Mr. Lemmonds Is burning the midnight oil on this remarkable preparation, nd he hopes to have it ready by chrlRtmact. a P. TIMIST.

Hughes. Republican candidate for Pres-ident in he recent election. Wednesday night sent to President ilson a teu-craiu roacrat- (Ulating him upon his re-election.

I desire also to express my best wishes for a suc cessful Administration." President Wilson was at a theatre with Mrs. Wilson when the telegram from Mr. Hughes reached the White House and did not know of it until he returned. There was no comment. Some of the hundreds of messages of congratulations received during the past ten days and withheld from lI'lll',ation until Mr. Hughes t-hould naving conrerreu Dy leiepnone during the day and late this after noon with the Republican State Com mittee and the Republican National Committeeman In California. I am informed that the official canvass of the vote has been so nearly completed that no change will result from the few precincts not counted in the re turns thus far compiled. "This means that the majority for the Wilson electors In California ranges from about 1,200 to 3.800 votes and that this is the final result of the canvass for which we have been waiting. So far as any recount Is concerned the National Committee is not advised that there arc suffi cient grounds to call for such an ap plication."
