A persisKiit ramor is circulut'iis litre to the -el fort that t lie Chesapeake and Ohio Railway has bought the Norfolk Southern system. Of eotir there is no definite fare on the reiort aim nothing ran be learned here as to its troth or falsity. II. MeD. Robini. of Robinson & Lyon, division coun ael for the Raleigh, Charlotte mid fJouthern, "has hoard nothing of it.' nor had Mr. Lyon. The most tungi ble thing that could he mn down is the fart that a well known Fayette ville man who carries an Annual pass on the Raleigh, Charlotte and South ern was informed by a high exeeutlvj officer a few days 'jro that such pa is es could be extended only to January 31st, as a big shakeup In t lie road was roming soon. This latest possible development in the railroad situation in North Car olna is being discussed here in con nection with the reported transfer of control of the Winston-Salem Southbound from the Atlantic Coast line to the Norfolk and Western, which two roads, it is well known, are very close allies. It is a fight between the C. & 0. and the N. and W. to reach Southport's 30-foot har bor, a potential coaling station? A most self-confident rumor has been going over eastern North Caro lina saying that the Chesapeake & Ohio is shortly to invade this State. In fact, it has been stated that Chesa peake & Ohio engineers have survey ed routes through Columbia and Brunswick counties. Reports, too, have come from above Durham of corps of pen suiyjgriits for tJbeChYST peake & Ohio in a line 'drawn from the Virginia line toward Southpart. The Raleigh & Southport, now a division of the Raleigh, Charlotte & Southern (in turn a part of the Nor folk Southern), was built by John A. Mills with the intention, as its name indicated, of pushing it on to South port. When the road reached Fay etteville it lested for several years. In 1909 Mr. Mills asked the people of Bladen to help the extension of the .line into their county. But a rival proposition was put forward the building of a branch of the Virginia ft Carolina Southern, an Atlantic Coast Line ally,-from St. Jaul to the county seat of Bladen.. The citizens of Bladen in an open election, voted to issue bonds for the Virginia & Car olina Southern and the "on to South port" idea for the Raleigh & South port was apparently forgotten. The purchase of the road by the Norfolk Southern did not seem to awaken the idea. But the mere ramor of Chesa peake & Ohio control has done to. The Winston-Salem Southbound"! the new coal road jvhicb has but re cently stopped Atlantic Coast line rolling stock, connects with the Nor folk & Western a. Winston. From Wadesboro a re ently constructed branch of the Atlantic Const Line connects it with 'lorence. Here com munication is direct with Charleston, Wilmington, or Southport, should the Coast Line wish to span the short distance from Wilmington. " Governor Marshall Steps Out. Indianapolis, lrid., Jan 13. Sum iiel M. Ralston today wos ushered in to the governorship of Indiana, suc ceeding Thomas R.

A week later Hagerstown was startled by the intelligence that t young MeCleary had been arrested in Washington, suspected as the murder- er of Mrs. Henry, and of having in tentions to kill her daughter. Fol lowing his arrest MeCleary is said to , have admitted to the authorities that . he had choked Mrs. Henry to death. ! Kansas Has Democratic Governor Topeka.Kas., Jan. 13. George H. Hodges, Democrat, was sworn in as governor of Kansas today, succeed ing Walter R. Stublis. Republican.

The British Sec retary of State for Foreign Affairs, Sir Edward Grey, and the Ambassa dors of the Powers made representa tions to Rechad Pasha regarding the projected departure of the Turkish lelegates, which is equivalent to a definite rupture of the Turkish Bal kan peace negotiations, for which Turkey is considered responsible. The allies will be ready to resume the war four days later. In fact, it is remarked that Greece has never ceased hostilities; that Servia has nothing more to conquer, while, with respect to Montenegro, the armistice has never been observed by Turkey, whose soldiers have made frequent sorties from Scutari. Therefore the sttlrn?rn--tMi09HlTtiea- really con cerns only the Thracean field of op erations, where the activity of the allies seems to be limited to the con quest of Adrianople. The Balkan military experts here think that, un der the present condition, Adriano ple can be taken in a few days by the sacrifice of 5,000 men. The Greeks are more determined than ever to hold the Aagean Islands, as well as Salon ika Regarding Saloniki, they say: "War gave it to us and only war can take it away." All the respon sibility for the gravity of the' situa tion is placed by the allies on Europe, which, they say, after having encour aged them to conclude an armistice and come to London even holding contemporaneously a conference of the Ambassadors to facilitate mat ters finds itself impotent, because of lack of accord, to adopt measures compelling Turkey to obey its will. Oregon Legislature Opens. Salem, Ore., Jan. 13. For the sec one time within a few years an Ore gon legislature is about to elect a United States Senator whose political faith is the opposite of that of the majority of its members. Notwith standing that the legislature which convened today is overwhelmingly Republican it will elect as United States Senator, Dr. Harry Lane, a Democrat, as the colleague of Sena tor Chamberlain, also a Democrat, who was elected under similar circum stances four years a&o. The election of Dr. Lane will be in compliance with, the much-discussed Oregon law which pledges the legislators to vote for the candidate for Senator who receives the highest popular vote at the November election. When the senatorial election is dis posed of the lawmakers will turn their attention to one of the heaviest pro grammes that has been prepared in years. Many of the measures prepar ed for consideration are of an ex tremely progressive character. In cluded in the list are bills providing for workingmen 's compensation, mothers ' pensions, a bachelor income tax, the curbing of "wildcat specula tion, a minimum wage law, and radi cal reforms in court procedure. Death From Meningitis. Speucer, N. C., January 11. A fa tal attack of meningitis brought death to John J. Eagle, a well-known young man, here tonight.

The Concord Choral Club. 1 Everyone interested in music should be a member of this club. The main 1 object of the organization is to cre ate and maintain a live interest in music for the city of Concord. It is one of the agencies that will help people to "see Concord first. The attractiveness of any city as a place of residence is not only its material and commercial advantages, but also its aesthetic, artistic and educational atmosphere. Culture really counts more in the final analysis than com merce or wealth. Help the couse of music in your city by encouraging the work of the Choral Club.. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock in the lecture room of St. James Church, Prof Harry J. Zehm, of Elizabeth College, Charlotte, is the director. A concert will be given in the near future. The work of this elub should receive at least the commendation of Concord's best people. . , Norfolk , Southern Depots. , . Charlotte Observer, .

Anent the New Street Law and One Other Minor Subject Mr. Editor: I have noticed that the city fath ers expect to have a law passed by the present Legislature to tax the property holders for part of the cost for permanent street improvement, I think the streets of Concord com pare favorably with any other de partment of the city's public service. But if we are to see a new era of progress ushered in for Concord, I am perfectly willing for the good work to begin on the street and side walks. I am sure the automobilists would appreciate improved roads. I hope to see the permanent re moval of the hog pen from Concord before I have to payfor permanent road improvement. What real pride could we have in our fine streets if we have to endure the horrible stench and the plague of Hies that attend, the pesky hog pent Our city fath ers have not as yet succeeded in pass ing a law to abolish the hog pen, that was not subject to "recall." Maybe they could persuade the Legislature to pass hog pen law that has a "hack-bone" to it. I would not dream of offering objec tion to my neighbor in his fruitless attempts to lower the cost of living by raising hogs, if he would only con fine the smell and flies as closely as he confines his hogship. Why should one vile-smelling bog pen he allowed to poison the air, hie one and only absolutely free thing that is so nec essary to life for a neighborhood of anti-hog people f D.- QUIXOTE. Engineer W. C. Quillin was painful ly hurt at the Spencer passenger sta tion early Sunday morning by being struck by a locomotive. He was knocked down and rendered uncon scious for some time, but responded to treatment promptly given. It is stated that he stepped from his en gine which be was preparing to take out on a trip and at an unguarded moment walked in the war of another locomotive backing into the yards and was struck by the tender. His worst injuries seem to have been in the side caused by a hard fall to the ground while painful pruises were sustained about the nevk and face. According to arrangements made at the Laymen's convention held in Salisbury in December Rev. E. C. Cronk, of Columbia, S. C, will spend four days in that city next week lead ing a group of men in the discussion of great questions which are constant ly arising in the .minds of men to day.

Feared That on Account of Shifting Winds and High Seas the Liner May Be Broken Up. Will Not At i tempt to Get Her Off Rocks Till ! High Tide Today. Halifax. N. S.. .Ian. 13. The wind liloinir a gale out of (he north caus ed apprehension today for the strand ed liner Cranium, which is on the " '' i" Hoal Cove, near the Chebucto Cove livht. On account of the shift in wind and high seas, it is feared the liner might he broken up. The wrecking steamers will not attempt to get the liner off the rocks until Hood tide today. Meanwhile the 883 passengers are safe in the immiirra tion building. Agents of the line are arranging special trains to take the passengers to New York. This port was the last call of the Cranium on its voyage from Rotterdav. Raleigh will ask the Legislature to repeal as far as it is concerned the general law commonly spoken of as the "Wadesboro act," which requires a railway to enter a union station in case it comes within two miles of any town of 2,000 population or more. This law. as has been stated, was socially designed to make the South bound Railway enter Wadesboro. If it is lifted as far as Raleigh is con cerned there is little reason to doubt that the Raleigh. Atlantic & Western Railway will go there, and thus link the Norfolk & Western and the At lantic Coast Line Railways. W. J.
