Jt is gratifying news that the Southern Railway Company is to again resume the work of double tracking its main line in this state and to the south. Old sections of the road, where a double track is not needed at present, will also, it, is stated, be replaced with heavier rails and a better road-bed generally provided. ' The Southern had begun and made a good deal of jirogress on this work when the fluarrctat disturbance came upon the country and the improve ments then being made were neces sarily interrupted. It is gratifying that the Southern is now able to re sume this interrupted w:ork, because it means that the road is getting in better financial shape, and also that its territory is to have increased means of transportation. Of the work contemplated by the Southern the Greensville News has the following: "The Southern Railway Company will double track a great many of its lines, and rails have been ordered in large quantities for this work. This Is the latest news from headquarters. The announcement was made a few days ago in Salisbury, that there would soon begin a double tracking of the roads of the Southern, and that the first stretch of this double tracking would be between Salisbury and Glass, a small station about 16 miles south of tnat city. A survey ing corps is now at work making the necessary preliminary arrangements for the new grades. This double tracking of the main line of the Southern Railway is merely a re suming of the work begun in this line some two years ago, when the track between Spencer and Greensboro was double tracked. The Southern Rail way will spend many millions of dol lars, it is said, in the next few years for bettering the present condition of the roads. "This company has placed an or der for 28,000 tons of open-hearth rails with the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, a subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation, and Is negotiating with the Maryland Steel Company for 12,000 tons of Bessemer steel rails with privilege to increase the order to 15,000 tons." The same paper also contains the Information that orders now on the books of the Maryland Steel Com pany are sufficient to keep the rail mills running for 90 per cent of their capacity six days a week for three months. A large quantity of these rails are for the Seaboard Air Line and a large order for rails was filled by the same company earlier in the year for the Atlantic Coast Line. These orders by the railroads point to the fact that they are getting ready to handle an Increased volume of business, that they are not only getting in- better shape themselves, but that they expect the Country to get in better shape and thai they are getting ready to handle the business. A great period of growth, develop ment and expansion is looked for in the 'south in the next 10 years, and the railroads are keeping pace with the growth tjiat is coming along all lines.

But now he returns triumphant, having won honor for himself and for his country and for the world'. The farthest north readied by any other explorer was 87 degrees, reached by Peary, in 1906. Peary, nothing daunted by his previous failure, is now somewhere in the north striving for an honor which Dr. Cook has already snatched from him. In 1607 Hudson reached SO degrees north and since that time many explorers have made slight gains on the forbidden ice wastes. In 1893 N'ansen broke all previous rec ords, making a fraction over 86 de grees. The next to break the record was Abruzzi. who. in 1900, gained i fraction of a degree over Nansen, and the next Peary, who, as already noted, reached a point a fraction over degrees north latitude. Now comes Cook having reached the cov eted goal, 90 degrees, the same dist ance from t lie equator in any direc tionthe pole. Address: P. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo, O. opinion of his greatness.

AX OBJECT LESSON. The Nashville, (N. C), Graphic ells a story about an old negro that carries a good lesson for farmers everywhere. The story referred to is as follows: "It is said that a colored farmer of this county recently carried a load of tobacco to a neighboring market and was forced to accept the low price of fered him for this produce. He also carried a bag of potatoes, but the price offered did not suit him and as he threw the potatoes back into the wagon, remarked: 'I has ter take whatever you folks ad de trus' air mine ter gi me fer tebacker, kaze 1 can't eat it, but hang me ef I kain't eat dese taters an' I'se gwine ter car ry dem back home.' There Is much food for thought in the old negro's remarks, especially for that farmer who continues the practice of rais'ng crops, the price of which he has no voice in regulating and which he can not use at home." The farmer who lives at home has little to fear from low prices, whether caused by overproduction or the ma nipulations of the market by the trusts or the gamblers. This homely icident in which the old negro figures well illustrates this. His tobacco was of no use to him and had to go at whatever price he could get, but how ever" small the price, he still has something left at home to eat. And observation shows that the farmer who raises his home supplies and only so much of a money crop as he can, af ter that is done is the most prosper ous farmer of all. He has no debt to fear and having his own supplies, can sell his money crop when he feels so inclined. If it brings him but little money he can live at home anyway, and if prices are good and it brings him a larger amount, he doesn't have to pay it all out on time bills for sup plies. And if all farmers would raise their own supplies at home and give less of their time and labor to the strictly money crops, as a natural con sequence, because of decreased suply the price of what they had to sell would be greater. All this, of course, has been said be fore. It is the theme of agricultural papers and farmers' institutes. They have preached diversification long and earnestly and are at last begin ning to see their campaign bearing fruit. But that it is an old subject does not detract from its interest. And the fact that the campaign is already bearing fruit is an argument in favor of keeping up the discussion until this section will no longer de pend on the west for its meat and bread. When that time comes the county wll be more prosperous and trusts and stock 'gamblers will have lost 'ivir power to trouble and ha rast cMi.oerv.ce trxaunuauuii was ng a lHmvK.Ul);1 W!is obtained through held here yesterday for storekeepers active work b the police against a The Traffic In Cocaine. the recorder's court this morn- 0m Great August Carpet andRugSale. and gangers.
