THE MORNING POST, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17. IQOS TER RALEIGH REAL ESTATE New Building and Loan Asso- " elation Here RAILROAD FACILITIES Comprehensive Reports Made by Committees of Industrial Club of Raleigh Last Night Government Will Be Asked to Include All of Wake in Topographical Survey I The Industrial Club of Raleigh, at a regular meeting: held last night adopt ed a report from a special committee to the effect that after investigation they And that there is a splendid field in Raleigh for the operation of a sec ond building and loan association and recommending that steps be taken for the formation of such an organiza tion. Following up this report Presi dent Webb, in compliance with a mo tion adopted by the club, appointed a committee to bring1 about the forma tion of the association, the committee consisting of W. B. Snow, W. S. Wil son, J. C. Ellington, Alex Webb and Walters Durham. The plan is for these- gentlemen to interest some of the best business men in tne city in tne movement ana oring about the incorporation for a building and loan association in accordance witn the mast approved and successful char ters and: by-laws to be found. A number of other matters of im portnee came up last night, notably the adoption of a resolution offered by A. B. Andrews, Jr., looking to the in ducement of the government to extend their topographical survey, which has already taken a section of the east ern part of Wake county, over the whole of the county, thereby afford ing a complete and up-to-date map of the county. Then there was also the adoption of a resolution by R. N. Cimmc "W o Via Tnilctoinl Vn 4r-i from the committee on "Raleigh as a Railroad Center," this being in con nection with the series of reports that are being prepared with a view to printing a pamphlet for distribution ages of the city. The report on "Ral eigh as a Railroad Center," was real V-.v C W "Pro as rhslrmnn nf tVi committee "and his associates on the J i. i; T T A T) - 1 rirews. .1r.. and R. N. Simms. In the matter of the building and loan association the committee report was by W. B. Snow, his associate conimitteemem being W. S. Wilson and J. b. Ellington. This report was to thei effect that they had thoroughly in vestigated the matter of an opening for' a B. & L. Association here and found that mich an enterprise would be wel comed, by the people. They had corresponded with other successful associations at Charlotte, Ashevilie, l Winston Salem and else where and secured copies of their chart ters and by-laws. And they recommend ed that a committee be appointed to- take the matter up and brin about the organization of an association here. It was this report that was adopted and in compliance with which the com mittee named above was appointed. The matter will be pushed and the organi eation perfected, certainly within the next two weeks. The matter of inducing the govern ment to extend the topographical sur vey into all parts of Wake county, as brought to the attention of the club by A, B. Andrews, Jr., is one of im portance. The resolution! as offered by Mr. Andrews and adopted by the club is as follows: i Resolved that the Industrial club of the City of Raleigh, do hereby mem oralize our Senators and Representa tives in congress to use their endeav ors and good offices to induce the Uni ted States Geological Survey to con tinue the work of their topographic sur vey how in the section just east of "ake county so as to embrace the en tire area of Wake county. - : ' Resolved further that a committee of three be appointed to present copies of these resolutions to Senator Sim mons and Representative Edw. W. Pou and ask their assistance in securing slht work by the United States Geological Survey. The committee appointed by President Webb to push this matter consists of A. B. Andrews, Jr., T. S. Fuller and W. B. Snow. The maps that the gov ernment makes are on the scale of one inch to the mile, and this would provide the county with a map that would, be three times as large as the old Shaf fer map. The following new! members were elected: Active Chas. U. Harris, J. J. Berard. I. S. Franklin, Percy B. Fleming, Chas. Park, R. B. Hall, D. M. Camp bell, N. G. Carroll. Honorary Sherwood Haywood. The report of the committee an Ral eigh as a Railroad Centre was a very valuable document. It follows: Rilelah's Railroad Facilities The importance of-laleigh. as a rail road center is not generally appre ciated by people outside the city or even by our own citizens. In fact, the extent and completeness of our tarns portation facilities has been a source no less of surprise than of gratifica tion to your committee charged with the duty of Investigating this subject. Here the two great railway systems of ' jtlie south, the Seaboard Air Line and FflS the Southern, maintain their throbbing lines of almost continuous communica tion with the great commercial cities of the country; our city is also the centre of the most important railway building projects now under way in North Carolina; only 22 miles to Dur ham brings us to the great Norfolk and Western system; 28 miles to Selma leads to the Atlantic Coast Line; a direct route by the Seaboard to Norfolk opens up the great ocean lines of transportation; the harbor at Beaufort (soon to be made more im portant by the inland waterway) is reached by direct line over the South ern, and Wilmington itself can also be reached in a few hours' time. Quick transportation north, south, east and west is offered, and there are only two periods of three hours each in the twenty-four that trains do not arrive in and depart from the city, Wefind that there are 17 pas senger tj-ains arriving In Raleigh daily, and seventeen passenger trains leaving, thus affording 34 opportuni ties for travel in and out of the city each 24 hours. Practically all these trains carry mail and express, and It is therefore no idle boast to say that Raleigh's passenger, mail and express service is ' not surpassed by any city in North Carolina. It would be almost impossible to improve this arrangement and the ad dition of our convenient. "Shoo-fly" trains between Raleigh and Weldon is only . the latest illustration of the efforts of our railway lines to give Raleigh the most perfect sched ules and facilities for business and travel. Nor Is our freight service at all less efficient than our passenger service. Every day In the year fifteen regular freight trains arrive in our city and fifteen regular freight trains leave it, not counting the numerous extras of our two' main lines, on the Seaboard Air Line are two' local freights each way daily and five through freights each way, not counting extras; and on the Southerrtjene local freigh each way daily and five through freights each way, not counting extras. Freight leaving the principal "Virginia cities is delivered in Raleigh on the following morning,, and the same thing is true with! regard to freight sent from Ral eigh to these Virginia cities or to cities in a large area of North Carolina, From the principal northern and western cities practically the same freight rates apply to Durham, Ral eigh, Greensboro, Henderson and Goldsbpro. In all respects, Raleigh, of course, has an advantage in being a competitive point and near deep water transportation. Being centrally located, with a fine farming country and a great number of small towns tributary to it, Raleigh is naturally a fine market and distributing point for all supplies and products of our sec tion, and the remarkable opportuni ties offered by our flreigfht and pas senger service Insure a much greater development in this respect." Nor are we standing still. ''The best i as yet to be." One of thA- most notable things in prospect is the com pletion of the Raleigh and Southport to Fayetteville, which is expected to so increase- business as to develop a regular line of river steamboats be ; t ween that point and Wilmington, thus giving Fayetteville deep water trans portation rates all the year round. f And while the public knows of the ; two great systems now operating here, the Seaboard and the Southern, some . thing ought to be said in this report ; as to the two new lines now building j from Raleigh and a third one in pros pect. j New Railroad Enterprises New Railroad Enterprises and Ppro j posed Extensions. The Raleigh & Southport Railway Company: , This company, which is the successor by consolidation of the Raleigh & Cape Fear Railway Company, and of which ,Mr. John A. Mills is the popular and ! efficient president, is now actively en ' gaged in constructing a steel bridge across the Cape Fear river at Lilling ton, N. C, and the necessary thirty four miles of railroad from that point to Fayetteville. It is also making ex tensive improvements in its cresent line from Raleigh to Lillington. It expects to be operating trains between Raleigh and Fayetteville by the 1st of January. 1906. When it is remembered that a Una of boats is operated up the Cape Fear river to Fayetteville, it will be readily seen that if this line should be ex tended no further it will give "Raleigh the advantge of the deep water con- nections and the benefit of water freight rates. However, it is contem plated, as the name of the company implies, that this road will in the very near future be extended to the town of Soujthport where there is the finest natural location for a great harbor that is to be found on the "Atlantic coast. This line puts the city of Raleigh in the most direct touch with one of the finest trucking regions on the face of the earth and it is expected that within a very short while the opera tion of this road will not only give Raleigh a more thorough benefit of its proximity to this trucking region than it has ever , heretofore for purposes of its own consumption, but will causa the shipment of vast quantities of its produce through the city of Raleigh to northern points. This fact will in crease the demand for the location in the city of Raleigh of large commis sion houses. - This road has from the time it first began operation about seven years ago been a tremendous feeder of the busi ness of the city of Raleigh. Its build ing has practically recreated the south ern half of Wake county. A great number of saw mills and the plants of other industries dot its course and quite a number of towns and villages have sprung into existence on account of its operation.. The line extends through some of the finest timber lands in the state. Its existence is giving a new life to the town of Lillington which is in conse- j quence drawing to itself and sending : thence to the city of Raleigh as Its ' natural outlet a greater part of the business arising out of the county of Harnett and as is always the case un- . der such circumstances, the volume of its business is rapidly increasing. Two health and pleasure resorts that are growing in popularity are located on this road, the one at Fuquay Springs, in Wake county, and the oth er at Chalybeate Springs, in Harnett county. The water of the springs at both of these places has been demon strated to possess extraordinary cura tive properties and it is apparently a question of only a few years until both of these resorts will be visited by thousands of guests every season. There are a number of places along the line of this road which offer op portunities for the building of health resorts for the tourist desiring to es cape the rigors of the northern winter, equal or superior to any to be found elsewhere in the state. When the pres ent improvements in the present line of this company and the extension upon which it is now working have been completed, it will be one of the best lines of railroad touching the city of Raleigh, not only for the persons who are financially interested in the road itself, but for the business inter ests of the city of Raleigh. Raleigh and Pamlico Souod Railroad This .company was granted a liberal charter by the general assembly of 1903. A number of towns and town ships have subscribed to its bonds. It has been steadily at Work and now has graded about fifteen miles of its road-bed eastward from the city of Raleigh. It has spanned Crabtree creek and Neuse river with steel bridges and now has its track laid and in operation for eleven continuous miles from Raleigh A town to be known as Knightdale has been laid off and is to be built up at the pres ent terminus of its track. Capt. J. M. Turner is president of this company and Mr. C. B. Barbee is secretary and treasurer, and these two gentlemen with six others con stituting the directors of the company whose ability and integrity are well known, give every assurance that this road is to be rapidly extended to Wil son, Greenville and then to Washing ton, N. C. This line extends through great bodies of the finest timber, and saw mills are being built along its road. Granite quarries are being opened and water powers developed. It opens up one of thje finest farming section in North Carolina, already developed ex tensively, but susceptible of a hundred fold greater Improvement. It spans a number of streams along 'which valu able water power have been for .cen turies flowing to waste. It opens an industrial highway through large areas of untouched pine and hardwood for ests. It crosses great fields of the finest tobacco and cotton land to be found in any part of the southland. It skirts around great hills of as pure and valuable granite as can be found anywhere. It carries needed facilities and conveniences to a thrifty, energetic and intelligent people. A well informed gentleman estimates that witrf.n 25 miles of Raleigh, and available for transportation over this road, ther are 200,000,000 feet of merchantable timber, with granite in an unlimited quantity. This road promises much to our city on account of the prospect of its early completion to the magnificent harbor to be constructed at tne town of Wash ington, N. C, where the world's mer chant marine will find a safe and profitable anchorage. North Carolina and Ohio Railroad This is a new railroad whCch Col. John S. Cuningham and other well known gentlemen are proposing to build from the town of Washington, N. C, via Greenville to Raleigh. It is understood that active steps are being taken looking to the early construc tion of the road and it is proposed to make it a highway from the coal fields of West Virginia and Ohio to the deep water at the town of Wash ington, N. C. But a moment's con sideration is sufficient to convince one of the tremendous benefit such a road will be to the city of Raleigh when constructed. TRUCK AND FRUIT GROWERS Outline of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 16. Special. One hundred and Fifty truckers and fruit growers, members of the East Carolina Truckers and Fruit Growers' Association, met in annual session this afternoon at the Tarrymore Hotel, Wrightsville Beach. The several re ports submitted were interesting and highly gratifying. The address of wel come was made by J. Allen Taylor, president of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce. W. L. Hill of Warsaw responded on behalf of the truckers. Interest was largely centered in the report of the secretary, H. T. Bauman. This report showed that the loss irt dumped berries would aggregate $175, 000 or $200,000. The amount lost due to delayed trains was $75,000, that due to damage en route $40,000. A vig erous protest was made against paying first class freight rates for third class' service. Inasmuch as the Atlantic Coast Line has a five years' contract with the Armour car lines only two years of which have expired, it was decided that hereafter all complaints would be made to the road. Moral ana financial support was extended to these growers who entered suit against the Coast Line for loss jaf berries. Before adjourning officers were elect ed as follows: President, W. E. Spring er, Wilmington; vice-president, J. S. Westbrook, Wallace; secretary and business manager, H. T. Bauman, Wilmington ; treasurer, S. H. Strange, Fayetteville. A Salisbury Hotel Sold Salisbury, N. C, Aug. 16. Special. The Mt. Vernon Hotel, situated near the Southern passenger station in this city, has been sold to W. C. Jenningb and others of Greensboro. It is re ported that the purchase was made for the Southern Railway Company and that the site is desired for a ne passenger station which is to be built in Salisbury in the near future. The hotel will be aloaaoj. TUG OF WAR DUE TO BEGIN TODAY (Continued from Page "" One) Japan haa come into her own again through her success at Port Arthur, and she now controls the Liao Tung peninsula, which Russia occupied and owned, and " the great .railway which gave the Russians access to the sea at all seasons of the year. It will be seen from the foregoing statement of what has been accom plished at the Portsmouth conference that all the disputes which led to the bloody far eastern war have been ad usted to the satisfaction! of -2aran. The other demands made by the Tokio government as conditions precedent to peace were the outcome of hostilities and are of a punitive nature. It is very generally - claimed that the Japanese conditions represent the irre ducible minimum of; that government's demands, that all of them must be ac cepted in their entirety to insure peace. But .Japan's envoys have shown on more than one occasion since, the ne gotiations were begun that they were willing to compromise if the necessity existed. The Japanese envoys have been criti cized for their insistence upon tlie observance of secrecy as to everything occurring in the. conference room. The very fact that Japan refused to allow her conditions to be known to all otn er nations is. regarded by those whose opinion is worthy, of mention as evi dence that she has intended from the firsli to make peace at Portsmouth if Russia showed a reasonable spirit, and had made her terms unnecessarily so vt're in order to be in a position to compromise. The unquestionable Mr. Sato said something tonight that must be re garded as distinctly encouraging. "It is my unqualified personal opinion," he said, "that there will' be peace." Mr. Sato, however, made no definite state ment before, and while his words were given as a purely unofficial utterance, their significance can not be overlook ed at this time of uncertainty as to what the Japanese envoys intend to do because the ycome from a man as discrete as Mr. Sato. . - Charges Against W. C. Henry Fail Statesville N. C, Aug. 16. Special. The county commissioners have inves tigated the charges brought against W.- C. Henry, superintendent of the chain gang, by the grand jury of the August term of court. The charges were of incompetency, neglect of duty, cruelty and immorality. After hear ing all the evidence that could be ob tained the board voted unanimously that the charges' were not sustained and tliey declined o accept Mr. Hen ry's resignation." The commissioners' rJso gave the superintendent power to discharge and employ guards, sub ject to the approval of the board, at a salary to be fixed by , the board. Teachers inreensboro Schools Greensboro; i,' C Aug, 16. Special! Miss , Mary K. Applewhite of Scotland Neck, formerly English teacher in the Greensboro high school, has again ac cepted a position as a member of the faculty of the city schools here and she will probably have charge of the new South Davie street school to be opened in the old market building Au gust 31st. Miss-' Myrtle Detwiler, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. G. H. Det wller. also takes a place as teacher in the city schools. , She has been teach ing in Gastonia. Supt. Swift states that these additional complete the teaching force for the coming session. Runaway Freight Train Salisbury, N. C Aug. 16. Special. A locomotive attached to a freight train loaded with lumber and stone from a granite quarry near this .city became unmanageable today while coming down a mountain grade, and ran away wrecking the entire train. Engineer Winecoff and Fireman Taylor, who were on the engine, jumped to save their lives, but were slightly injured. The run down the mountain was made at very high speed and was unusually exciting. The damage to the cars was considerable. HOME-COMING WEEK Opening of Cleveland County Cele bration Begun Auspiciously Shelby, N. C Aug. 16. Special. This, the first home-coming week of Cleve land county folk, was most fittingly celebrated. The address of welcome was delivered by Clyde R. Hoey and the response was made by Samuel B. Gid ney of Muskogee, Indian Territory. Both addresses were eloquent and held the attention of the audience. J. A. Anthony introduced Dr. B. F. Dixon, state auditor, who made a most fitting and witty address in his usual attractive manner. George A. Frick of Norfolk, Va., Introduced Senator Overman, the speaker of the day, who held the immense audience completely in his power. The ball game between Lincolnto.1 and Shelby was very interesting and did credit to both teams, One of the most interesting features of the occasion was the war drama "Under the Southern Cross," played by home! talent. The audience w&s large and appreciative. Bigamist Arrested Salisbury, N. C, Aug. 16. Special John A. Holshouser, who for a number j of years was a well known merchant of j Gold Hill, and who fled the country two years ago with a strange woman, was arrested1 Monday night near Rock well, ten miles from this-city, on the charge of bigamy. In 1903 Holshousher left a wife and children in Rowan and admits that he soon afterwards mar ried the woman with whom he ran away, but claims that he believed hia former wife had secured a divorce ,h She had not done. Mrs. Hol Bhousher was in Salisbury yesterday. ( She expresses the willingness to receive j her husband provided he disires to re ' turn. SUNSHINERS AT BEAUFORT A Member of the Band Tells About a Visit to Fort Macon Beaufort, N. C, Aug. 15 Special. We went over to the life saving s.ta tion this morning and had a very nice time looking at the different equip ment, all of which is practically new to the ordinary landsman. Mr. Pugh, the captain of the station, very kindly, showed us around and explained ev erything in detail, from the non-eink-able life boat to the tower of obser vation. The station consists of six stout and experienced men, and has only been built a year and has not had any ex perience in life saving yet. The quar ters of the crew are very clean and comfortable looking. One of the most interesting things in the equipment of the station is the non-sinka,ble life boat. The captain of the station says that if all the water of the Atlantic ocean would be put in the boat it would not sink, which is a very inter esting thing to those who cannot swim. George Ashe, one of the larger "Sun shiners,," went through the life re storing drill which was new and very interesting to all of us. He first lay down on his stomach on the sand. The men squeezed and pounded him some and then turned him on his back and chafed his hands' and legs. When they had partially restored him he was taken Into the station and put to bed, where the part of the crew chafed him again. After a while he became con scious and soon recovered. T From the life saving station we went over to Fort Macon where the boss Sunshiner (Col. Olds) told us how the Yankees in 1862 after a siege of three days or more, took the fort. The fo Il ls surrounded by a deep moat, and to gain entrance one must cross a bridge and go through a very prison like door. The fort is surrounded by a very thick wall and has many bomb proofs. The entrance is nearly hid from sight by many trees and bushes. The walls are about four feet thick and are cov ered by tall grass and dirt. The In side of the fort presents a very di lapidated appearance to what it did when some of our grandfathers had quarters there. All the ammunition and guns, with the exception of a few tons of powder, have been taken away, some of which is in the capital square From the fort we went over to the surf and stayed there awhile admiring the grandeur of the billows as they broke on the shore with a deafening sound. From the surf we got in our boat and went back to "Sunshine Hall" a" few minutes before dinner. j . JACK HARRIS. RAIDING MOONSHINERS Successful Work Done by Officers in Alamance County Burlington, N. C, August' 16th Spe cail. United States Commissioner Wm. A. Hall has been busy since last Satur day binding over to the federal court illicit distillers from this county. Last Saturday afternoon Deputy Collector Banks and Depu ty Marshal Squires, accompanied by Adolphus Cheek, of this city, made a raid in the Hawfields neighborhood and captured a sixty gallon still, with a full complement of mash tubs, fermen ters, etc. and also 15 gallons of whis key. The still was being operated by Russell Brooks, a white man, and Will Scott, a negro, both of whom were ar rested. On the same night these officers captured a small still near Hawfields church and one fifty gallon still near Phillips' chapel apd 15 gallons of whis key. The last mentioned stills were not in operation at the time of seiz ure, so no one was captured at either of these places. Monday afternoon these officers made another raid about four miles south of Burlington and seized a splendid moon shine outfit, consisting of one 100 gal lon still, 1,500 gallons of beer and' 60 gallons of singlings. There were four men at this still, three of whom were taken into custody, the fourth making his escape. On the afternoon of Tuesday a raid was made in the vicinity of Osslpee cotton mills, six miles northwest of Burlington. On this trip a small still, together with a quantity of beer and fruit mash, was seized and destroyed. The net results of these various raids are five men captured and bound over to the federal court, five distil lery outfits, with all the necessary par aphernalia for doing a land office Watts law business, destroyed, besides a general wailing and gnashing of teeth by a large number of thirsty and, pre sumably patriotic, individuals, whose liquid supplies have been so ruthlessly and suddenly cut off. Too much praise cannot be given these; gentlemen for the excellent work they have done, and it is only reason able to suppose that the Record they have made for themselves will be prop erly appreciated and rewarded by their superior officers. DETECTIVES IN WILKES There Are Many Rumors and Sur mises, but No Facts Leak Out Winston-Salem, N. C. Auk. 16. Sno- cial. One of the detectives sent to North Carolina by the department at Washington to investigate reported frauds in revenue circles is seen in this city every few davs. He doe rot talk to anybody but District At torney Holton, and the latter refuses to be interviewed as to what is go ing on. He just says: "Wait and see what 4-he grand jury has to say about A man from Wilkesboro is authority for the statement that a number of the people of that county are getting just a little bit nervous over the situa tion. "The fact is." continued this Wilkes man, "our people did not know what these special agents were , up toj nor what they wanted until they se cured the evidence. I am afraid there is trouble ahead for a whole lot of my folks if all I hear is true." It is said that some of the boys are actually giving themselves away in their efforts to shield themselves. A gentelman who is in a position to know what he is talking about says that judging by the number of sum monses sent to Wilkes county for the special term of the federal court at Greensboro, it will take several cars to handle the crowd that will go down Saturday evening before court. If rumor be true several other coun ties in the eighth congressional district will be heard from at this special term. Predictions are being made that sev eral revenue officers will not only lose their offices, but that there is danger of them serving terms in prison. Stuart to Conduct Meeting High Point, N.
