The suggestion of our Ellerbe correspondent that Rockingham should bestir itself to secure a railroad from , this place to Itosticks MiL is one that de servew the serious consideration of our Rockingham people, and of our business men especially. We understand that the kaolin mine operators are anxious to guarantee about two car loads of freight a day to any line that will run to them. Hauling wood to our mills would from a considerable business for such a road. There are great quan tities of timber of different kinds that would furnish business for such a road in addition to the regular ireignt , ana passenger business that eilch a road would receive. Ellerbe Springs could easily be popularized as a resort to furnish a good passenger business. It would put new life and vigor into the farming interests of that whole section of country. The good little town of Roberdel would fnrnish considerable business to 3ustain such an enterprise .and all this would contribute to the growth and of the 'volume of business Rockingham. There are two ways in which this might be accomplished. The officials of the Seaboard might be interested in the matter and Induced to build the road, or the Southern might be induced to extend its line from Troy to Rockingham or the Coast Line to extend its line from Gibson by Rocking ham. ' ur it coma oe aone as an independent enterprise without the assistance of either of the roads. We are informed that a capitalist wrote recently to a citizen of this place that he would take 60 per cent, of the stock in any line from here that the citizens of this place had enough confidence in to take the other 40 per -cent. The townships through which it would run would probably sub scribe stock in such an enter prise, as it would double the value of their farm property. And all this suggests further the need of an organization of our business men to put forth united efiort to secure new en terprises for the town and pro: mote ts interests in various ways. Why could not Rock ingham have a "Board of Trade?" We know it is frequent ly the case in towns no larger than GUI'S that there is too much of petty jealousy among business men for successful co operation in the general in terest, - but we believe our business men are too broad minded for such considerations to hinder them. But at any rate, what do you think of the railroad? When the elder Czolgosz was told that his son had been sentenc ed to death be wept and said: "I am sorry for my boy. but it cannot be helped. He ' must be punished, for he is guilty. I am sure that he was not alone responsible, even though he has said he had no ac complice. There were others in the plot, and if I had been permitted to talk with him in Polish when I was at Buffalo I believe he would have told me about it. I will bring my son's body to Cleveland for burialafar he has been executed. He is my son. and I mast see that he gets a Christian burial," , Ml Rbai. ' As is generally known the f3ad known as the new road lo StSeles Mill has been impassable for some months on ' account bf" the two creek bridges being washed, away. Two propositions willbe'made to the Board of County T Commis sioners next Monday in regard to it. One is to rebuild the bridges on the present road. The other is to make an entirely new road run nine between the old road and what is called the new road running past Midway. Those ,wbol want the bridges rebuilt have it in their favor that that road is abou the prettiest road after it leaves the creek that there is in the county. Those who favor an en tirely new road have it in their favor that it will not require an bridges, whereas the other road j requires two creek bridges which may be washed1 away any year. They make the further point that the proposed new road would run through a more elevated section of country and could be expected - to develop into more of a "residence road." This is. one contest in which the Anglo-Saxon does not feel called upon o take part except to say. that that's a mighty pretty stretch . of roads on the Midway road after it leaves the creek. A Prince or Duke. "What particular advantage is it, Mr. Angell, to be the wife of a prince or duke?" is a question ask ed us to-day and we are oblige to answer that really we do not know. Our impression is that an American sovereign, with money enougn to pay ms Dins ana a re as onable provision against misfor tunes and old age, occupies about the most desirable position- that can be found in this world. We remember how a European prince calling one day upon Rothschild and finding him busy with anothe caller, was requested by Mr. R. to take a chair, to which he replied very haughtily, "I am the prince of" "Ah," said Rothschild "take two chairs!" We remember quite a discussion we once had in England with an English gentleman, to convince him that his blood was quite as good as that of the Prince of Wales. We think no intelligen American gentleman would have any doubt on that point. When we started our Bands of Mercy in America we secured the assistance of an English clergyman, who was almost every dav telling us about his queen, until one day, afte freely admitting that she seemed to 1 J A . 1 1 De a very respectaDie woman, we added: "but we have right here in Massachusetts forty thousand women just as good and respecta ble." No intelligent American would have any doubt on that point. Still it must be admitted that we have some some people in America not distinguished, per haps, for their brain development who, seemingly, unconscious of the greatness of their own country where every citizen is a sovereign seem to oe wonaeriuiiy stirred up whenever a prince or duke comes over to. see us, and whose sayings and doings on such occasions, as reported in our newspapers, for cibly remind us of Puck's famous aphorism : "What fools these mortals be." in tne palmy days ot ancient Rome the proudest title in the world was: "I am a Roman citizen! So in our days let us strive in all peaceful ways to make the proudest title in the world am an American citizen!" Anarchy, however, is not the only "organized in New Jersey" infamy that must be wiped out The Commoner.

A Salt Involving A Whole Towo. Raleigh Post. W. S. Douglass, Esq., will leave Monday for Montgomery court where he is interested as counsel in several cases. A potable one is that of Christian Smith vs. A. Leach, et. al. The suit is really an effort on Mrs. Smith's part to recover real estate which includes practically ell the town of Starr, Montgomery county. In the suit the plaintiff 6ets up " the plea that her husband, now deceased, dis posed of the property "soon after Stat was first made a railroad sta tion and while she was a femecov ent and that she was not privately examined, and indeed that she did not sign the deed at all. The further plea is made that she was power less to proceed in establishing her rights, and that she has laken steps just as soon as, by the death of her husband, she had a right under the law to proceed in - the matter. Considerable property is involv ed in the fight, and there are a multiplicity of interests. A considerable amount of the property has changed hands several times since it was originally sold by the plaintiff's husband, and much of it has been considerably improved. Old People Have Their Troubles. Mr. Francis Little of Benton Harbor, Mich., over efgbty years of age.

Heretofore, Young America has been dis appointed when told that banana land. was still further. South. . But his disappointments are over on that score. Dr. W. P. Swett has Settled all that by providing for an affirma tive, answer to his question. The doctor does not have a whole plan tation of the luscious species of the genus Musa, but he has about one dozen plants, one of which is now in bearing. About three series of the bunch or cluster are fairly well developed, about four to five inches long and well proportioned. The other series are still wrapped in their purple sheath, but will burst out and develop with a short time. The plants stand on the lawn in front of Dr. Swett's residence on Railroafd street and are well worth the attention of all who have never seen this plant in bearing. Getting Even. Silver Cross. 'Haven't you got anything solid to eat?" said a traveler, discon tentedly eyeing the profusion of pies and cakes on the counter of a restaurant at one of the wav sta- . tions. "Chall I give you some beans?" asked the proprietor, with his most presuasive smile. The traveler assented, and mak ing short work of them asked: "Howmuch?" 'Twenty-five cents," was the bland response. "What!" cried the traveler. "Twenty-five cents for a spoon ful of cold bean6?" The proprietor continuing firm to his price, the man paid it and departed. But later that after noon a telegram was handed in to the restaurant keeper, for which he paid twerity-five cents. It ran thus : "Don't you think your price a little high ou beans?"
