L AS A COAL CARRIER Norfolk, Aug. 14. Plans are maturing to make the Seaboard Air Line a coal carrying road. That accounts for the great rise in the value of the stock.

Last winter the Seaboard Air Line made strenuous efforts to obtain charters' from the Virginia legislature for roads tap ping the coal fields. Now its purchase cf the Bastt & West Railway sfrows that it will be a factor fn the coal-carrying trade of Alabama and Virginia. The coal will be deln-ered to ships at Sa vannah and Tampa..

The strain of his long campaign in SamaT, the subsequent court-martial and then the unexpected news of his retire ment received on the day of his landing at San Francisco have proved too much for the veteran of the Indian and civil wars and the Philippine campaign. iHe has been temporarily robbed of air his old-time fire and energy and is in a list less condition. Indications point to the existence in ihis eystem of the germs of the feveans which beset the American soldiers in the Philippines.

Another report was that the company willstart a lixte of steam ships in connection with the Old Dor minion and Savannah steamship line touching at Savannah, Norfolk and New York.

One of the company's vice presi dents said after the meeting: "It was only routine business. , We have noth ing to say." 1 v - . : T - I Cashier Hunt Injured . Henderson, N. C, Aug. 14. Special.

A bold attempt was made at Wolf Summit at 1:30 o'clock this morning to wreck the New York and Cincinnati express, west bound m the Rflltimorp- .fe Ohio T?a51- way. Night Operator Coyne, in his office at Wolf Summit, heard coundinsr on the rails in the yard, and suspecting some thing wrong, he put out the danger sig nal, and the train was stopped. Inves tigation showed that a lock had been broken, a switch thrown open and a heavy piece of iron driven into a froe.

Republican Text Book a Subject of Dispute Democrats Say It is Conspic- uously Weak Nothing -. Conceded to Repub licans in North Carolina - y TBO.111 J. rKJfCB Washington, Aug. 14. Special. A re port has been in circulation for several days to the effect that the Republican campaign book had been recalled at the instance of President Roosevelt because it was silent as to Cuban recirroeitv and failed toassert the President's anti trust doctrine. Now comes Secretary Overetreet of the Republican congres sional campaign committee with a de nial of this story. It is given as time that the president was very indignant when he ascertained that the text book of his party had ienored 'both of his hobbies Cuban reciprocity and ' his re cently dtecovereu anti-trust doctrines. It has been almost impossible to get hold of a Republican campaign book and if any copies are in circulation they are kept only in the hands of the faithful. - Senators Simmons recognized the weak ness of the publication and he wrote to Chairman Griggs for fifty copies. Sec retary Edwards of the Democratic con gressional campaign committee has searched Washington for copies of -the text book, but as yet his energetic ef forts, have not been rewarded. It may. be as Secretary Overstreet saya that the book has not been recalled, but very little will be heard from the much her alded publication in this campaign. , A few weeks ago a northern paper published what "pirrvorted to be a table from Democratic headquarters giving an estimate of the pqlitical complexion of the next House by states. According to this table the Republicans were con ceded one congressman in North Caro lina. When his attention was. called to this matter today by The Post's corre spondent, Secretary Edwards of the cam paign committee said: "No such statement came from com mittee headquarters and ' tne first we knew of the table to "which you refer was its publication in a morning paper.
