ASSOCIAtED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXV Renew Efforts To Bring Line Os P. (p N. Railway j ThrouglfCity Os Concord! CITIZENS AROUSED ABOUT THE MATTER Facts as First Presented In The Daily Tribune Lead to Renewed Activities by Many Men. / business men DISCUSS CASE City Officials, Heads of the Banks, Leaders in Civic 'Clubs Tells of Value of the Tnterurban Line. rh<* possibility of the extension of the Piedmont and Northern railway missing Concord, ns first made public in W ednesday's Tribune, has aroused renewed action in many quarters in the city and persons who at first were content to “let George do it" are now nr,\v taking an active part in nego tiations looking to a favorable so’u * t:on (o the problem. W hile Concord public has never , really doubted that t'.ie extension of the line from Charlotte to Winston- Salem 'would be a reality seen, it was not prepared for developments as carried in The Tribune Wednesday. It was not generally known, as an example, that the I*. & N. officials were ready to begin work in the near ftrture on the extension. Neither was it known that there was a strong likelihood of the line missing Concord. ('oiks'rd persons had taken for grant ed that the line would touch Concord. I blit when they realized that this was not the race, they hastened to offer their aid in finding a solution to the problem that is confronting the Cham ber of Commerce officials and others who have been directly at the head V, of the movement seeking a line of the d system- for Concord. * - Quite a number of business men of the City, after reading the facts as presented in The Tribune Wednesday, discussed the ease fully, each declar ing Concord could not afford to sit idle, while (tie extension was being routed via Poplar Tent. Several of the men prepared statements for pub licktinn, with the hope that Such a step would prove Deneficial to those in direct touch with the situation. It is known that one of the proper ty owners who has been demanding about SII,OOO for a right of way across his farm, conferred with Chamber of Commerce officials Wednesday, and af ter the conference ite agreed to do “what is right.” It is planned to arrange a conference between him and officials of the intefurban com pany for the near future with the hope Chat his idea of "what is right” will correspond closely enough with the idea of the officials to lead to a compromise. Officials of -the P. & X. were in Con cord Wednesday and it is understood thut they will make no .final decision on the route from Charlotte to Kan napolis until local citizens are con vinced that they are helpless in se curing certain right of ways at prices less titan now demanded. The oft, ficiais have let it be known that they want to construct their line through Concord, but in view of the fact that they can build a line via Poplar Tent for at least SIOO,OOO less than it will cost to construct a line via Concord, they must give serious consideration to that liiie. They also point out Coat right of ways can be secOred ciieaper or the Poplar Tent route than on the Concord route, so long as land owners on the latter route demand a thousand dollars an acre for their land. Chamber of Commerce officials are more encouraged now that so man; citizens of the city have been aroused jo active participation in the negotia tions. They are continuing with re newed vigor efforts to promote a com promise between the land owners and r the interurban officials, and they have asked a number of citizens to aid them, with the belief that the land owrfers will change their prices when shown that public sentiment is 100 per cent, against The facts brought out in Wednes day's Tribune have resulted in the foi- I Last Showing Today.

"Cabarriis County 'people have nl -1 ways been progressive nud certainly they are not going to miss the greatest i opportunity of a life time to help their county. "I would feel very much embarrass ed and ashamed should we hinder tiiis great project.” H. I. Woodhonse, President Cabar rus Savings Bank: “The P. & N.

It is worth mucli more to have this interburgan than' a regular rail road because it serves in the county as the street cars do in the city. “No doubt stations would soon spring ttp .every few miles along the road and many persons who work in the cities could enjoy a country home. “By all means lei us get together on this matter." Brevard E. Harris, president Ki wants Club: “The civic clubs have been for year trying to get a new railroad for out city, and certainly now that we have the opportunity of getting the road cur jteople will not be so unreason able about the right of way as to de prive our city and county of tjiis great opportunity. This road would benefit property far more than it would damage it.” . C. H. Barrier, mayor of Concord: “I am for anything the late ,1. B Duke was for and I understand he left everything in Mmpe to carry out Every development or ex tension he made hbs increased proper ty values and I shy"hi fnllttf onr people would gladly give or al least sell a right of way for this railroad reasonable. "The fact that it opens up terri tory more or less undeveloped makes it that much more valuable to ns.” Clias. B. Wagoner, president of the Citizens Bank and Trust Co.: “I believe that the building of the P. & X. Railway through here will meau more to the City of Coueord and to the leritory through which its lines are laid than any other movement for 1 the common good that lias been under consideration for the last twenty-five years. We can readily see that this line will be laid out along the route that will be shortest and tiiat will prom ise the lowest construction cost, en abling it to reach Kannapolis and points north on its route to Winston- Salem, and leave Concord off its mnin line, unless rights of way to bring it , by here can be obtained at a reason- . able cost. A glance at the map will . show that the nriieage \fill be greatly ' increased to bend the railway line so that it will touch Concord, anti if this 1 cost, coupled with unreasonable costs for rights of way, will outweigh the < advantages to be gained, we will of course lose the Interurban for Con cord. The advantages to the property own ers through whose land this line would be laid are so many that in all except probably a few cases'it seems that rights of way would gladly be given. 1 It is the history of the interurban - electric lines that they wonderfully increase property values of all lands they touch, as by running their trains on close schedules they bring into '■ the market at once sites for homes all along their lines for people who work in nearby towns, and at the same timp put all lands touched by the line in market 1 demand for industrial sites.. And the advantages to farms through which it runs are many, as sidings are established every few miles en abling farmers to load and unload their farm products and farm require ments. it will increase farm values to an even greater extent than the im proved highway system of the state has done. “This interurban will connect us with all the main railway systems— j the Seaboard, Atlantia Coast Line. Norfolk A Western and the Pennsyl vania. Surely no effort should be lost in securing this interurban line for our,, city.” ; Charge* of Drunkenness.

Berlin, Oet. 22.—C/P)—The family library of the Hohenzollerns} compris ing about 100.000 volumes, besides numerous maps, musical publications ' and sketches, forms part of the Ho henzollern inventory damn'd by the German Republic as being the proper ty of tlie state. Pending the ultimate decision of the courts the library remains in the for mer Royal castle at Berlin. The li brary was founded September 20. 1802, when the private libraries of Frederick the Great. Kings Freder ick William IT, 111, IV. and the small but valuable personal library of Queen Louise of Prussia, were in corporated. Prior to that date these varous libraries were kept at dif 'erent castles. The originator of the idea of fonnd ng a library of the Hohenzollerns was Duvinage, the librarian of Frederic Villiam IV, who suggested the plan o the King in 1815!). His suggestion, however, did not meet with the ap proval of the Treasury of the Royal Household ami it was not until 18(12 that his successor. Dr. Dohmo, over came til's opposition. By 1871 the new library 'contained 10,000 volumes. At the suggestion of in per or William I, a number of con tributions from the library were made to other libraries. From 1880 -to 1888 the Hohenzol lern library was steadily enlarged, re arranged and recatalogued -and with the ascension of Emperor Wiilianf lease. By an Imperior edict in 189T> a large number of smaller family li braries scattered among the various castles were also incorporated. Dr. Chose Has Mild Attack of In fluenza.
