The Southern (Railway Company lias issued to its stockholders the full report covering its operations for the fiscal year ended June SO. ith an increase of 37 miles operated during the year, gross earn ings show an increase of $3,051,176, while net earnings are larger by S548,- K4. The comparatively small increase in net earnings was caused by the lib eral expenditures on improvements ami betterments charged agadnst operating expenses. The balances earned avail able for dividends were $3,000,897, as compared with $3,50,500 earned during the previous fiscal year, an increase of $60,937. The other income shows an in crease of $325,803.

Drake, the Chicago millionaire turfman, announced publicly that he had the winner of th futurity in his stable, lie alludej with confidence to his bay colt Savable, hy the famous Salvator, out of Strawflower, who was purchased Iby him from Pat Dunn, the western horseman, last winter for $30,000, Dunn having purchased the colt as a yearling at the Haggln sale for $550. At the time eastern horsemen were inclined to ridicule Mr. Drake's confident predic tion, and when Savable recently ran a very poor race at Saratoga the impres sion became general that the youngster would not do, hut today, down at Sheeps- head Bay, in the presence of an im mense crowd of 50,000 spectators, 6ava ble made good his owner's forecast by winning on the -postin the last jump by six inches from August Belmont's Lord of the Vale. That Mr. Drake still retained confi dence In SavaJble was shown by the fact that. his commissioners were busy placing heavy wagers "with so much in dustry that the colt's price was beaten down from 20 to 1 to 8. Just how much Mr. tDrake won on bets could not he told, but a fair estimate placed nis TTtnni-nirs at $100,000. He and his friends fairly (burnt up the ring, and when iSarable returned to the padooc and Jockey Lucien lyne naa oeen rilled aloft rnto the historic floral snoe, h and to the numerous persons who crowded around him to offer him con gratulations: "I knew I had the futtirlty winner an along."

Then in the last fierce struggle down the stretch, where the great crowa siooa waicmu rr moment of the gallant two-year- olds' race It was narrowed' down to four contenders, Lord of the Vale, Hurst bourne, Savable and Dazzling.

Reports received at Democratic headquarters show that Mr. Kitchin has reeeived a flattering re ception everywhere and that his speeches have done much good. In Auburn, Me., last Tuesday the president and the Tar Heei congressman were rival attractions. In two hours after the president had departed Mr. Kifchin was addressing a big audience in the city hall. The Lew- iston 'Daily Slin, an independent paper, devotes two columns to the Democratic rally and editorially it , says of Mr. KifcMn: S ""Congressman Kitchin in Auburn Hall last night made a good point on enforce ment 'Republican enforcement enforce ment of prohibition In Androscoggin and anti-tnist laws in the nation. ?Iiead what he said. 'But the best was h-is presentation of the; Philippine issue and the "present violation of the princi ple of 'local' self-government. We wish our people might hear It over and over again." j . In the report of his speech, the Lewis town paper said of Mr. Kitchin: "As Mr. Kitchin stepped forward upon the platform he was greeted with much applause. Mr. Kdtchin is a man of strong personality and a most entertain ing speaker. From the time-toe tfrtered' the first word in his speeeh. until he was seated he hel d -the closest attention of his listeners. That he is an brator of no little note but voices the sentiments of all who heard- him. Mr. K4tehin's speech throughout was punctuated with applause of the most enthusiastic nature. "Mr. Kitchin declared that the .most ' strenuous president had practically sur-; rendered to the trusts.. 'He had once opposed; them,, he had 2 once., spoken of "shackling cunning;" he.

"You are quite sure that he is fit?" asked Mr. Drake. As far as I can get him," replied Wishard, "and unless some accident happens you 11 eee hdm oome home m front." "That's all I want to know. remarked the Chicago man as he turned- si wav to trive Turtner instructions to his betting commissioners. As the jockeys took their positions Fire Eater suddenly whirled around and kicked Afrikander Jn the ribs. He came wi :hin an inch of kicking L. Smith in the leg, the boy puHlng his foot out of the stirrup in the nick of time. , After several attempts the field, as if control ed by a single hand sprang forward in a perfect line as ahe barrfer flew up. After taking two strides, however, Fire Etfter stopped short and was left stand ing still. A moment later Shaw began a vigor ous ride upon Dazzling and as the St. Leonard's filly with clearlsailing rushed up to Lord of the Vale's flank there was a tremendous cheer. Dazzling gain ed inch by inch until it looked as if she might wrest the lead from Mr. Bel mont s colt, when suddenly tne latter again responded to McCue's , whipping and drew away. Hurstboume also felt the factthat his ancestors,, lived 5n the lash from Martin and with several Oraven county, being prominent in af- gigantic strides he caught 'Dazzling, 'but i fairs in that sect-ion.

The trusts can bave; no bet ter friend than he who declares we must wait until the I constitution is amended before the trusts can be de stroyed." !

From fwhat I heard it looks like iFrank Jones of Chatham, the present Republican chairman of the dis trict, will, make the race against Mr. Pou. I The sad death of Congressman K. C.

Whether or not 'sbe Repnbli cans endorse the independent movcmVntj in the counties they will certainly giv them all the encouragement possible. The action of the convention has "been, widely discussed and tlmt wnSx-h is at tracting attention outside of the state was the disposition of the negro. The elimination of the negro as. a political factor was most effectual, yet at the , same time no action was taken that can give offense to national Kewiblieans. The decree had gone forth that the nejro must take a back-seat, but the more am bitious members of the .'race did not heed, and then it was neceojary to use i the power of force that the leaders pos sessed. Dave Lane was the solitary colored man entitled to the privileges of the floor, but he was mbjectcd to some wonderful hypnotic influence and' found it convenient to fo over to Dan ville. Ills less fortunate brothers were in a very agitated state of mind all day yesterday over Dave's sudden dimnpear-, ance and weTe wondering whether or' not he had been kidnapped.
