DURHAM'S UNION DEPOT SITUATION 1 he Southern Has. Plans .and is Ready to Go Ahead With the Werk- Durham. X. C. March 16. Special. The union depot question is again up Xor discussion and te people are tak ;lig advantage of the opportunity for ' spreading themselves on the subject. The matter was brought up again y Colonel Andrews, of the Southern i;allwrtv oomlnsr here this morning with drawings of the proposed build ing and showing the plans to a num- er of business men who had gathered ji the KIks club room for that pur pose. The plans show a very neat and conveniently arranged building, which if erected will cost about J40.0W or ' JiO.000. - Colonel Andrews told the business men that he was rad to erect the building at once, if it met with the approval of the people. There was some discussion about the matter and he was asked a number of questions, after which he left for his home in Kaleigh. The business men called a meeting for this afternoon at 3 o'clock. There Is no difference in the .plans proposed by Colonel Andrews now and several years ago. According to what he said this morning the depot will be union In name only. He proposes to put the building on the property now in dispute without consulting the other roads as to where they would like to have the station. In fact he has not .-iM one word to the other roads, so he said this morning, about the plans for the building. He said In reply to Hiestions that he would allow the othejr, roads to""come in-with him. but the depot must be located at the point suggested by him. and the other roads must pay him trackage. He said fur ther that the plans he had before him were the plans for the depot, without regard to the Idea of the other two roads, unless they could convince him that he was wronjr- The proposed station is to be put into what is now Pea body street, near where the present depot Is located. He said that the Southern would track for the Seaboard road If that road and the Southern could reach an agreement. So far as the depot building is con rned thex people are satisfied with that, but there are other sides to the question. If It i to be "St union depot, as was suggested to the vice president of the Southern this morning by a prominent business man. then the, other roads should also be consulted and not one road do all of the deciding. It was suggested at the meeting this morning that since there was no change in the attitude of Colonel Andrews. -then the matter should take its course in the courts. During the talk this morning I'olonel Andrews intimated that the "Fuller bill will be fought in the courts unless his plans are agreed to by nil sides. The Post correspondent made an effort to get .an expression from as many prominent business men as pos sible today. The prevailing opinion is that, leaving out of the question any ,.iing regarding Pea body street, then one road should not name the loca tion of the, building and select the plans without consulting the other roads. This is a matter for all of the roads to get together on. . At'th mass meeting of citizens this nftcrnoon. held for the purpose "of con sldering plans for a depot and the pro isitifn of Col. Andrews of the Scuth- ru Hallway, nothing was done but to , appoint a committee to go before the i city aldermen tonight and ask that a onimittee be "appointed whose duty It shall lie to get the three roads to other on the depot question If possi ble. At the meeting there developed a strong sentiment against accepting what was suggested by Colonel An Ulreus, which would practically place the whole matter in his hands. The two meetings today have brought the question very prominently before our people. There were some 'at the afternoon meeting in favor of peace at almost any terms, but others were as tar in the opposite direction. The pre vailing sentiment seemed to be to Kct the roads together, if possible, nnl if not let the" corporation commission and the courts settle the whole matter. Durham. X. C. March Special. The mass meeting was attended by probably 7J business men. Twelve or fifteen short ttks were made at the meeting. Messrs. It. H. Wright. J. C Troy and W. A. Slater thought that the plans should be adopted in order to get a depot here without litigation. Y. T. Carrington thought that we would get a depot any way and that lh question of plans and site wa one for the railroads and the corporation (ommission. T. I. I'eay saitl he did not believe In backing out of anything. "Let us hold every inch of ground Me have r.ow." lie said, "and let the railroads asrree on the depot matter. If they cannot then let the corporation com tnisnion settle the question." He re ferred to the suit regarding Teabody street, and said it would not be fair or just to endorse the plans or site. . B. Green was of the same opinion. He made several talks, fie said the leople should go slow, and added that the roads and the corioration commis sion should deal "with this question. This is a trick, he said, to defeat th i action of the corporation commission. L. A. Carr suggested I he appointment of the committee to see the aldermen, and this was agreeable to the meet ing. 11. F Seeman was in favor of the plans as presented, and thought some thing should be done to bring the mat ter to a head and stop o much litiga tion. .He was in faor of adopting the plans and leaving the . rest with the roads. He made m talk of several min utes. , J. H. ifottthgate made an eloquent talk. In which he said If the matter was left to the courts it would not be settled until after the daisies wex on many of our graves. He thought the town should get out of the suting Easiness, that at th-p resent time the people were between three powerful corporations the city, , the Southern Railway and the Seaboard" Railway and In -a condition of helplessness. We ought to resolve." he aid, ''that we are bound hand and foot and-ready to be cast into .the sea." . : . The opinion against the plans sug gested prevailed. . The committee was appointed and adjournment was taken without anything being done. A household necessity Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil.

Prison Cells fer Shouters. Pottsville, March 16. "The man who shouts ' hurrah" during a riot is as guilty as. he who fires a gun. These were the words with which Judge Bachtel prefaced the sentence of five of the Shenandoah rioters. The riot was a very serious affair, resulting in the killing of Deputy -Sheriff Bedell and the maiming of every policeman In- Shenandoah. All the defendants were sentenced to two years in Jail and the payment of heavy fines. German. Minister at Caracas Caracas, March 16. Dr. Alfred Pelle roam. the newly appointed German minister to Venezuela, arrived here at noon today. "It was 'feared that the populace, which Is deeply.. Incensed against the Germans, would make a hostile, demonstration, but fortunately the minister's arrival caused no out break. He was me at the Central railway- station by the members of the Amerjcan legation and a number of German delegates. ; ... . - J TfcSapplyf Cotimn ,, (Henry G. Klttridge, In Boston Tran script.) ; . l . Ten cent cotton is not a rare: thing in recent years for middling upland grade in the Xew York market. Though it did not reach that -point last season, it came within a quarter of a cent of it. and exceeded it several times dur ing the previous season. - But it may be said that long-sustained 10 cent cot ton is- out of the question under pres ent trade conditions affecting the sup ply and consumptipn of the raw mate rial. There has been no season since that of 1S89-90 when tfhe yearly aver age price of middling cotton has ex ceeded 9 cents a pound. ' - If planters felt confident that cotton would command an average of 9 to 10 cents a pound for the season, they would regard if as a strong Induce ment to extend its cultivation for the production of a crop that would meet the necessities of the world's cotton manufacturing . industrj which is in need of an Increased supply in order to keep existing machinery in full op eration for the entire year. I rm in clined to' think that even 8 cent cotton would be a sufficient' incentives to plan ters to extend their cotton acreage for a production, under favorable seasonal conditions, enough to satisfy the wants of spinners for American cottons; and this price, under present and prospec tive trade conditions, I believe, can te maintained, without curtailing con sumption, and warrant th? running of factories to their full capacity. There is no occasion, for apprehen sion that the Southern' States crnnoL raise all the cotton that 'may be roiiuir ed by the spinners otAhia country and Kurope for a number'of years to ecme; yet the time will eventually come, in all probability, when the limit will be reached and other sources of supply must be sought. rhe last three seasons t J 899-1902) were unfortunate ones, and should not be viewed In . any other light. There was, a decreased acreage in the first two and an abnoriually low yield to the acre in the last'oiif-. With an acreage of 27,0s0,0)0 to :.'?.0".000 acres, and an average yield to the ncre, the supply of cotton for all present and ne.ar future requirements may be safely calculated upon." The South should find no difficulty Jn Its system of agriculture of devoting. this number of acres to the cultivation of cotton. Lsvithout encroaching upon the necessity of a diversified farming occupation. The cultivation of cotton possessing all the admirable qualities of that rais ed in our Southern Stales has .never been attended with any continuing success except In very few instances. The production of cotton in Central Asia, with all the Ud that the Russnin government could gi e it. hrs hi:d seri ous drawbacks. That from American seed has greatly declined, and wh-;re this has not been renewed the quaht has deteriorated. , Taking the world" s production of cot ton altogether, there appears no source of supply to meet the reeds of manu facturing so capable of immediate ex pansion as that of the United States, and not until It has attained Its rea sonable limit will much be done else where more than experimental.
