OCTOBER 23, 1903.
The period of leniency toward
trusts, anarchists, bovcotters,
blackmailers, abductors etc., etc..
has passed. The people must
have protection for their lives and
property, and the government.
should lengthen its cords and
strengthen its stakes so . as to
meet the requirements of existing
conditions.
The statement the South's
prosperity, in another column,
by Reuben Foster, a business man
of teen foresight and much ex
perience, is quite encouraging
inere is no doubt the entire
South is in a prosperous condi
tion, probably greater than at
any time since the war, and any
one" who is a regular reader of -the
ricvrcpapfTS can net fail to e:o it.

as much, and probably more, real

as any town in the South, and we

With reference to the publish
ed story of the padding of pay
rolls, on the Asheville division
of the Southern, the Asheville
Citizen of yesterday has the fol
lowing: v V
"So far asconld be ascertained
there "were no developments yes
terday in the ; alleged padding of
pay rolls of the Asheville divisi
on' of the Southern Railway.
"However, there were corrobora
tive reports of the . story given in
the Citizen of -Wednesday and in-
.timations that the Southern rail
way - was attempting to keep the
matter secret.
"Superintendent Ramseur, of
the Asheville division, returned
Wednesday from Washington,
where he . spent the past day or
two. He states that there-is no-
thing; whatever in the story as
published yesterday. He, said to
a representative oi tne uitizen
when asked for statement of the
allegations as to padded pay rolls.
' 'There is nothing whatever in
the story, hot one word of truth,
and no foundation in fact. for it.
There has been no trouble with
the pay rolls of the Asheville di
vision whatever since the Q. D.
Guire trouble. This is all the
statement I care to make regard
ing the publication.' '
"Mr. Ramseur. naturally, being
in charge of the Asheville division
affairs, for the - Southern should
know what the facts are in the
case in question.
