If the majority of the merchants, who use the freight de pot, and the majority of the citizens, who use the streets and who do not like to see them made unsightly by disfigurement or obstructed unneces sarily do not want the track com plained of where it is, we see ho reason why the Seaboard should ob ject to taking it up. Certainly it will serve but little good purpose either to the railroad or to shippers while it will prove a nuisance to many and is an unsightly and an inconvenient obstruction of the s'reet. To go back a little: For several years the merchants of the city pleaded with the railroad authorities to build a new depot. The old one had become . entirely inadequate a long time before anything was done. There was no room in the old depot and incoming and outgoing freight was often piled together in the great est confusion, and sometimes only in the shed and not adequately protected from the weather. At last the glad announcement was made that the road would spend sixty-five thousand dollars in the erection of a modern freight depot. But the road, to get more room, wanted to cross Lane street from the old site, to the site of the cotton platform between Lane and Jones. There was some objec tion to this on the part of resi dents in the neighborhood. They would have preferred to see the property built up with residences. The Merchants' Association and citi zens of the city took the side of the railroad and made a fight and won it for the railroad to locate the depot where it is. Those people in the neighborhood who did not want the freight station so close to them ac quiesced gracefully in the will of the majority which had won the fight against them. At the request of the merchants the board of alder men passed a iresolution granting the road the privilege of building the depot on the site desired. But the board also passed a resolution to the effect that when the new de pot was built that this old track on Salisbury street, running up along aide the old cotton platform, and serving a useful purpose at one time, must come up. It Is this track, which obstructs completely a whole block of the sidewalk on Salisbury street, that the railroad Is now ob jecting to removing. It would seem that in common fairness, and rail roads can be fair if they will, the Seaboard would remove this track. The people who helped It get its new location, and this track Is no part of that location and In no sense a necessary or even a useful adjunct of the new depot, want the track taken up. The people who live In the community, and who - quietly gave way for the new depot to be built, not pressing: their objections and who probably were Influenced by the belief, gained through the, action of the board of aldermen, that the (rack would be taken up, are entitled to some consideration. They could have given a great deal more trouble. beore than they did. They deserve now the best treatment the road can give them. The board of aldermen owes it to the residents of that community to stand by its former resolution. It owes it to the merchants of the city, who also feel that their pledge has been given, that this track should come up. And it owes it to its own good faith. OSCAR UNDERWOOD. We are giving our readers today something about Oscar Underwood. It is worth reading, every Word of it. There are some who do not like to admit it, would try to obscure it even, but if the democratic party is victorious this fall it will be be cause of the record this democratic congress is making. Oscar Under wood is the guiding spirit of this congress. He is the leader of the majority and he is shaping the work of the congress and making its record. And it is a record that the democrats can afford to go before the people on. The democrats were sent to Washington to do certain things. In so far as they could they have done those things. Many of the best things they have done the republican senate and the republican president have kept from becoming law. But that is republican record. The democratic record is being writ ten in the house. It is Oscar Under wood who has taken the democratic forces and molded them into a compact, working, forceful, able and constructive body. He has smoothed differences and discords and gotten the party, more nearly united than it has been before in years. If the democratic party will take advantage of the record he has made for it it can go to victory this year. If it subordinates or casts away what he has done and goes off rainbow chasing no man can foretell the result for the republican party has gone rainbow chasing too. We like Oscar Underwood. We like him mighty well. He is a great man and Is serving his party, and what is more, is serving his country well. We would like mighty well to see him president, but would rather see him, for the next four years at least sending good democratic bills, those bills which President Taft vetoed, and more in behalf of the people, up to President Harmon for his signa ture. We may be sure that your Uncle Jud will approve them with pleasure. He and Uncle Jud could do a great work for this country in the next four years. It needs such constructive statesmanship as they would bring to the front, Mr. Un derwood occupying his present posi tion and Mr. Harmon the president's office. - That is the way we would like to see it go and we believe that would be the best thing that could happen for this country. Mr. Underwood, however, is a candidate for president and he would make a good one. He has every qualifica tion, is able, experienced and sound In the democratic faith. If he beats Judson Harmon for the nomination we shall vote for him with the greatest pleasure. DR. WILEY'S RESIGNATION'. Whatever the causes back of It, there will be genuine regret through out the country that Dr. Harvey W. Wiley has resigned as chief of the bureau of chemistry and gotten out of the agricultural department. And while the people generally regret, there can be no doubt but that on the other hand the food adultera tors and the proprietors of fake preparations of one kind and an other are rejoicing and shaking hands with themselves in unre strained glee. Dr. Wiley has been the chief obstacle between those who would profit by selling adulter ated foods and the people. He has fought them off almost alone and s'ngle-handed, and often those who should have been arrayed with him nave been found on the other side, using their positions of trust to make it easy for the conscjonceless scoundrels who sell poison, branded as food, to the people. At times, in i nearly an ids time uniu me exposures of a few months ago, these allies of the food dopers succeeded in overruling the lighting Dr. Wiley Now he has gotten out and one can not help but wonder in view of what has been taking place in the depart ment of agriculture, if the whole work of the bureau of chemistry Is to be turned over to those who have been shown to be guilty of rascality, but who were not fired out of the department. Because of the de mands of the people Dr; W iley won a partial victory a few months back but the rascals who had been nuli- fying the work of the bureau were not kicked out. The Taft adminis tration hung on to them as it hung on to the discredited Ballinger. This is probably the reason Dr. Wiley re signed. He didn't like the company he was forced , to keep if he should remain in the department of agri culture.. And the number of people in the country who would blame him for coming to this conclusion are be coming fewer every day. It is a pity that any department of the gov ernment should fall into such dis repute as that now attached to the department of agriculture. Press Comment. .Taking the Sensible View. The negroes of Charlotte, N. (V, are organizing an association to etsablish a colored reform school, and the white people of Charlotte, feeling that they are interested in the success of the enterprise, are contributing liberally to the cause. The Observer unhesitatingly com mends the movement as one involv ing the welfare of the state, as well as of the negro boys and girls, in whose interest the institution is to be established. : It is gratifying to observe that more and more the white people of the south are recognizing both the wisdom and philanthropy of actively aiding every movement looking to the advancement of the negro popu lation. Tlie old idea that the negro must be left to shift for himself, is outworn. Experience, Christianity, and civilization are againts that sort of thing. Letting the negroes alone to shift for themselves means in too many cases damnation for the ne groes and unmitigated disaster to the white people.. Thqy are here in the south to stay, and sensible white people know that an attitude of in difference or hostility is fraught with evil to negroes and white people alike. There are many unthinking people who do not sympathize with negroes and who do not believe in educating them, but there is not a southern city of any consequence but that has learned long ago that the intelli gent, well trained, self-respecting negro, is a good citizen, and that the ignorant, ill-treated, immoral negro is a menace. Most negroes are em ployed by white people, and any em ployer would rather have a compe tent, industrious, intelligent em ploye than a shiftless, ignorant, un reliable and untrustworthy employe. The immoral, indolent, untidy negro servant is a menace in a white man's home'.. The landlord knows that the industrious, intelligent, self-respct-Ing negro is a good tenant and he prefers to rent his property to one of that kind than the other. in no relation that exists between the races, and they are many, does the ignorant and immoral negro ap pear at an advantage. This being true, the white people must consider themselves deeply concerned In ev ery movement seeking the advance ment of their negro neighbors. The negro schools, asylums, reforma tories, and other means of uplift, require the active support of the white people, and are going to ob tain them and more as we begin to understand our sociological prob lems, and the mutual interest that is Involved in the uplifting of the negro race In the south. . For the present we can even af ford to dismiss all sympathetic con siderations In our treatment of these problems and consider only the wel fare of the white people, as the dominant race. If we are Indifferent to the morals of the negro, we are bound to suffer, as we have already suffered; if we are indifferent to HOW'S THIS?

The white people of Charlotte are merely acting sensibly in aiding a reform school to train negro chil dren, who, through evil associations have become criminals.. They are protecting themselves, because a ne gro criminal is an enemy to all so ciety. The example is one which should be generally followed throughout the south, for it is ip sympathy, patience, kindness, gener osity, charity, consideration and helpfulness for the negroes that we can best aid them and conserve our own welfare at the same time. Houston Post. Good Roads Fight In Orange. The fight for good roads is on in earnest in Orange county. There is much opposition to the proposed bond issue, but we have confidence in the people of Orange and believe that they will roll up a majority of the votes for the bonds. The counties that refuse to keep up with the progress of the country and refuse to build good roads, may as well realize that they will con tinue behind, and as the counties around them build roads, trade and business will be taken away from them. Orange county Is one of the best counties in the state. Her land and soil is the best, and her people as good as in the entire state, but her history is written the day that she takes a backward step In refusing to Only One "BROMO QUININE,- that la LaxaBve Bromo Quinine Cures a Cold in One Day.

We want to say to our friends in Orange, and the editor has a host of them, that they mill make a bad mistake the day they refuse to vote for these bonds. They will make a mistake that will cost them years and years of delayed progress. We believe, as do those who are in a positon to know the situation in that county, that the question will be carried.

Atlanta, March 16.- The devotion of a blind boy to his wayward brother is being shown in a pitiful way at the Fulton county jail. E. J. Robinson, a negro, was con victed of burglary yesterday In the police court. After ho was sentenced the blind brother, ' John Robinson, begged permission to accompany his brother to the jail. They spent the night in the same cell, and now the blind boy, though he has a home and other relatives who would care for him, is begging piteously that he be permitted to serve out the whole sentence with his brother. He would rather be with him in jail than free without him. Under the rules of the jail the request will probably have to be refused.
