Mayor Wagoner, representing - the - eity, apent several hoora in consulta tion with them.' Every detail wee , oonaiderod at length hut nothing defl . nite waa deeided upon. At the close ot the eonferenea Mr. Foreaere told Mr. Wagoner that ho and the engi (neert would decide definitely just what they would do hero aa soon as possible. -.'-. : After an inspection of the various : locations suggested for erecting the ' bow station the officials of the road ' 4 expressed themselves as being unable . to tee where it would bo to the advantage-to the company to change - the present location of the station. The engineers were of the opinion - that by b few ehangea in the. location of the track B station eould do built ;. at the present ' location that would servo the pubKo equally as well at one situated at any of the locations proposed. v .;;':.. -;r?--',-v;:"1't ' -Mayor Wagoner urged that - the present freight station be torn away and the new, station erected on that site but this did not seem to meet with their approval, although they made no definite statement concerning The matter of changing the track so that an underground passage can bo made under the tracks at the Cor bin street crossing was also presented to them by Mr. Wagoner. There are several handicaps to making ; this - change, the' principal one being that the law requires a distance of 22 feet from the tracks to all overhead bridg es and 12 feet from the ground to the "T track at an overhead passage. If the road raised its tracks seven feet along that part "of th: line the pverhead ' bridge -would have to be torn away - and-i JBries taJuw'4i'raeiB At the underground passage- twelveJeet from tho ground the road would nave to raiBB" it tracks "seven and one-half feet atrt the city dig down seven and ' ono-baif feet, making fifteen feet,, hut three feet ot this distance would be used hy the structure of the track. Mr Toreaere and party also in speoted the ravine back of the Cabar rus mill with a view of building a freight station near the Crowell roller -mill bat they did not seem very fav orably .'impressed with the proposi tion. vThey also went over , the spur ' track to the Locke mill and seemed favorably impressed with the propo sition of building a freight depot near the Brander mill. Several plana for the new passen ger station will be made at .once but on account of winter weather it is hardly'-probable that actual work will begin until spring.

AKD ' BOUTEZHX WILL BB BUILT rinal Arrangements for Transf vr'jtg Franchise is E. 0. Duncan. W:D Maks Bsrveys at Eariy Data. Greensboro News, 2nd.' A meeting was held 1m tbo parlor of the Guilford Hotel yesterday after noon by the original incorporators of the Raleigh, Chariotto sad Southern railroad, and the final transactions for turning over the franchise, whieh waa secured at the last legislature, to E. C. Dunean, of Raleigh,- were car ried through. Mr, Duncan and his associates, whoso names have not been divulged, expect to get busy right away in making preparations for building the railroad, and will soon get into the field with the surveys. The pries paid for the franchise was not made known. Mr. Duncan is very enthusiastic ov er the future promotion and building of the toad, and steps will be taken at onee toward securing the proper capital for financing the proposition. It is estimated that from $7,000,000 to 10,000,000 will be necessary lor putting the line in operation, and that from one to three years will be re quired for the 'construction. ' , The proposed road will be about 144 miles in length, and according to the original plan will extend from Raleigh to Charlotte vis Pittsboro, Asheboro and Albemarle. It seems to be the policy of Mr. Duncan to carry this plan out. ' The road will tap the old C. ft x. V. near Siler City, and will pass through the manufacturing district of Randolph county, which will in clude Cedar Falls, Franklinville and Ramseur. A branch line is proposed to extend from some point near Pitts boro to Greensboro via Saxapahaw, Haw River and Burlington, a dist ance of between 00 and 60 miles. By reason of its connection with the Norfolk and Southern at Raleigh, the proposed road will give Charlotte di rect connection with Norfolk. ; The Raleigh, Charlotte and South ern railroad will pass through s new section of unlimited resources, espe cially of timber and waterpower. It will go near the great Whitney plant, which Is rapidly neanng completion. It. will give to ibe .counties through which it passes an east and west line through a territory for a. .radius of 40 miles each way.., l The Original Dandy Dixie Minstrels. Next Friday ' night - there ' will be proqentod at the Concord Opera bouse a genuine all colored minstrel aggre gation known aa the "Original Dan dy Dixie Minstrels." The eompany bas beon accorded the endorsement of both white and colored patrons wherever presented in the South, In fact the notices from the Southern press (which will be presented from time to time)- are most commendatory for the excellence and cleanliness of the performances given by this company. The Tampa (Honda) Daily Times, of February 18th, contained the fol lowing notices: . ''One of the best minstrel perform ances ever seen in Tampa was that of the ''Original Dandy Dixie Min strels," who appeared at the Tampa Bay Casino Saturday night. Owing to the excellence - of the show, the performance will bo given tonight Hundreds of white people enjoyed the performance Saturday night as much as did the colored people in the gallery." , . .

The hoard of trustees of the Children's Home held their annual meeting at the home today. Toe morning session opened at 10 o'clock .sad was presided over by Dr. T. F. Marr, president of the board. The out-of-towa members here include the Rev. Harold Turner, of Ststeaville; C. H. Ireland,' of Greensboro, and J. L. Nelson,' of Le noir;' '" " . " - ' Superintendent Hsyes submitted his annual report and the same was interesting and ' highly gratifying, showing as it did the splendid man agement and growth of this deserv edly successful institution. Superintendent Hays who " has been recognised since be took chsrge of the home as "the right man in th right place, Mras ' unanimously reelected. '' " The ReV. J. P. Rodgers, who has been field agent of the borne for two years, tendered his resignation, he having decided to return to active ministerial and pastoral' work. It was accepted with reluctance and mueh regret on the part of every member of the board. His splendid report of the work accomplished during his term was convincing that he had made good" with that his work was crowned with success. A rising vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Rodgers by the board. The Rev. J. F. Kirk, for two years pastor of Central M. E. church at Mt. Airy, was elected assistant superin tendent and field agent of the home. Those who have a personal acquaint ance with Mr. Kirk will readily assent that the hoard made a wise choice and that Mr. Kirk will make a valuable assistant - to Superintendent Hayes and that no better man could have been found to take the place of the Rev, Mr. Bodgers, who, during his term- raised the handsome sum of about $70,000 for the- institution.

Wichita Beacon. stood in the ticket office of a depot the other day, and heard a tim id old lady trying to extract informa tion from a haughty clerk. It took him longer to get rid of her by treat ing her snobbisby than it would have had lie given her the information de sired and apparently needed. He was insolent and supercilious. If his in solence had been witnessed by a su perior oflicer of the road he would have lost his job immediately. , We have often noticed that the higher up the official is, in the railroad service or any other service which comes in direct contact with' the public, the more politie and Courteous he is. The reason for this is that the unfailing marks of cheapness whieh the. Al mighty placed on people sre insolence and superciliousness. 1 If every boy who works in a depot or a store and every girl who works in a telephone oltico or behind the sales counter would just come to realise that the insolent people are always low-salaried people, that insolence and su perciliousness are proofs of small minds, we would have better courte sy and better manners eyery where."

There is no eoaflmstioa of the re ported bombardment of Tripoli whieh appears unlikely to have happened, and it will be several daya before the expeditionary fores ia ready to leave Italian shores. Apparently the Italian government is spprehensivs that ths Turkish fleet may be able to hamper the passage of transports, and great precautions are being taken. The expedition will be started from ports in two seaa, rather than from South Italy and Sic ily in order to minimise that danger and evidently Italy it in no hurry to get the expedition of the way. Another reason lot tbe delsy of. warlike Operations inj.the oontinnanee of th Turkish cabinet crisis.

Caterpillars Consimt Cotton. Cant. H. B. Parks and Mr. E. C. Bernhardt spent yesterday at Capt. Parks' farm in Nov 2 township, Capt. Parks has a twelve acre cotton" field on his place that hat been attacked by ag rest arm; of atsrpillers that have practically oonsumed the weed and a great number of bolls on the entire field of cotton. Capt. Parks brought two stalks of the cotton to this office as specimens of the havoc the 'worm has wrought with his crop. The leaves are cut in shreds and a number of unmatured bolls have been bored to the center. The stalks are about two and one half feet high and show only two well developed bolls, the others being destroyed by tbe worm in their premature state. . Capt. Parks is anxious that the matter be brought to the department of ..agriculture and says the danger from this worm warrants immediate and drastic efforts on the part of the farmers of the agricultural - depart ments towards its annihilation.
