New Union Passenger Station In Washington Under Consideration Completion of Line Between Winston and Mooresville. (Washington Star. Will.) The Southern Railway Company, in addition to going ahead rapidly with Its part In the development of the plans for the erection of a new union passenger station In Washington and the construction of yards of its own In the vicinity of the city. Is making important Improvements In other di rections. Within the next few days there will be completed a line of railroad extend ing from Winston-Salem to Mooros ville In North Carolina, which will give the Southern a new and Independent line between Greensboro and Charlotte, end which, it is expected, will entirely relieve the Southern from the entan glements In which It has recently h-.n involved by the action of Governor Russell, of that State. At present the Southern uses, as a part of Its main line betweeen Wash ington and Atlanta, a strip of railroad 03 miles In length, between Greensboro and Charlotte, and which Is a portion of the North Carolina Railroad, three fourths of whose stock Is owned by the State of North Carolina. The North Carolina Railroad reaHy extends from Charlotte, via Sallsury and Greeons boro, to Raleigh and Goldsboro, a dis tance of 223 miles, and since 1871, has eecn under lease of the Southern an 1 its predecessor, the Richmond and Danville system. This lease was made In 1871 for a period of 30 years, ami everything worked pleasantly between the State and. the railroad comp.iny until about two years ago, when the Southern began negotiations for an ex tension of the lease from ltfc expiration in 1901 for a period of 99 years. .

The Governor and some other State Officials Were in conference in the auditor' office this. morning. Mr. Caldwell vu In the Governor's office at first but Gov.

COTTON OPERATIVES. The Manufacturers' Record Called At tention to the Condition of This State. In his comprehensive and thorough annual report Hon. James Y. Ham rick, commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics of North Carolina, pre sents interesting facts about the 29, 287 men, "women and children employed in the cotton mills of that State which ought to be widely circulated, says the Manufacturers' Record. His report says: "The employes of the cotton mills of the State form a very important part of her population. There appears to be an abundance of mill labor In the State, and the employes In these mills are better satisfied than any other class, and there Is no antagonism be tween the employer and the employed. The matter of hours of employment Is being1 .settled by themselves", and neither employer nor employe favor legislation, for, in answer to questions on this point, only 5 ppr cent, were In favor of legislation. The employes seem to be satisfied, and the matter of time, if let alone, will be adjusted by themselves. There are no strikes, no favoritism, no dissatisfaction, no unjust decisions among the laborers of this State. "Ninety-four per cent, of our facto ries report sufficient religious advan tages for their employes, and this being true, tends to show the rapid advance ment In religious training of this class of our citizens. There has been espe cial attention given to their religious training, almost all the mills having churches for their operatives, some that would do credit to our cities. Em ployes ran attend church and Sunday School every Sunday, anil a great ma jority take advantage of the opportuni ty. We find in a great many cases the officers and stock-owners of the mill teaching the operatives in the Sunday School. Financially, the onoi-alivc in our mills are very well off. for thrir em ployment is regular and their wanes sure. Of the mills reporting. 70.S per cent, report the condition of their em ployes to he good: 23 V, per cent, that it is fair: and of all the replies received, only five stated their condition to be had. Not only Is this class of our citi zens living well and comfortaly, hut many of them are saving money, and a number of cases have recently come under the notice of this department where operatives have saved sufficient money to buy $1,000 worth nf the stork of the factory in which they were em ployed. "The moral condition of our factory workers is most excellent, for as a gen eral thing they escape the dens of vice that are so numerous in the irreat cities of this country, and at th" same lime enjoy the social intercourse of the town and receive the advantage of a eood school education. The apart ments in the factories arc commodious. v;i lighted, heated and venlilai'd and as much care is taken in the ar rangement of the apartments of the operators as of the office: most of the houses are well huilt and ceiled or plas tered, and me more comfortably ar ranged thau these of any other class of laborers in the State. Little drunk enness occurs, for as a general thing no barroooms are In operation near the factories." The Record then adds: "This picture of the life of operatives In a typical cotton manufacturing State of the South should be carefully studied by those men who talk of elevating the Southern operative to the condition of the New England one. It should be compared with the pictures drawn of the life of mill hands at New Bedford, for instance, and should cause hesita tion on the part of advocates of na tional legislation on the subject If it does not turn them from their pur pose." DR. RAMSEY DEPARTS. This morning Dr. Joyful Laughter Ramsey, Secretary' of the commissioner of agriculture and editor of the Pro gressive Farmer, took his departure for Goldsoro where a criminal action has been brought against him by ex- judge W. R. Allen for libel. Dr. Ramsey went unaccompanied by an officer. He was escorted to the train by all of his fellow members in the Ananias club In good standing.

The excellent company producing the comic opera, "Wang." stranded here yesterday and about thirty of themem crs are left without the price of a ticket to New York. For over two weeks the company has played In hard luck, principally because of poor man agement, and after the close of Mon day night's performance It was an nounced behind the scenes that the "season had ended." While such an occurrence had been anticipated most of the company was Illy prepared for the emergency, only ten or twelve e Ing able to get home without asslst aance. Those left behind at once went to work rehearsing for a "benefit" per formance which was given last night, but the returns were scarcely suffi cient to pay board bills. Tuseday morning the manager nf the Durham opera house come up and attached all the company's property, piling trouble upon trouble for the management. The elephant with the company Is getting aiong with less than one meal a day now, and It Is feared y the actors that their rations will dwindle to the same proportions. But It must be said to their credit they sang "Wang" to per fection. HIS FAITH WAS WEAK. A Parson Tries to Walk on the Water to Demonstrate Faith. It is reported that in eastern Wake county a man by the name of Spene has been preaching sanctlfication, and In order to carry out his points he an nounced to his hearers that on In1-'' Sunday he would walk on water, says the Apex News. Saturday night he went to a pond and drove up some posts and laid some planks along about three Inches under the water. Sunday mornin, by appointment, a large crowd assembled to see the wonderful feat. During the night some mean boys took out one of the planks. After spending several minutes in prayer the sanctlfi catlonist proceeded to walk. With eyes fixed heavenward he slowly and deliberately walked in. Everything was still and such remarks as "Ge, whiz! that man shorely am sanctified!" could he heard from the eager crowd of onlookers. Suddenly, when about middle ot the pond, he came to the missing plank. Ker . choog! under went the parson above his head In water. The now thoroughly enraged crowd dispersed with very little faith in sanctlfication. Mr.' Fraps does not think there will be war. On the eve of the. civil war he heard drums beating up and down' the streets and .this evidence of approach ing hostilities Is thus far absent LEE LEAVES He Will be Monday.

It is reported that the Spanish au thorities at Havana have already tak en charge of the Maine wreck In a sevagely eager manner. Yesterday, V) . it is said. Ensign Powelson of the Fern, whose testimony before the court of inquiry practically led to the definite conclusion that the disaster was due to an exterior explosion, was ordered off the wreck, which he had visited for some trifling purpose. He was told to be off much as a suspicious character lurking In a dark corner at night la ordered away by a policeman. He was given plainly to understand that he was a trespasser upon what had become Spanish territory since the withdrawal of American authority from the wreck. This affair is of no particular consequence In itself, but !t casts some light on the nature of the Spanish officials in Havana and par- ticularly upon Hie attitude of those of- ficlalls toward Americans.
