Xo new developments were reported j
toda.V in the negotiations looking to
a settlement of differences between
officials of the Piedmont & Northern
t Hail way and Cabarrus land owners
over right of ways for the internrban.
Officials V»f the Chamber of Com

a solution that, will bring the ex
tension of the P. & X. line* t'iirough

t’nder the caption, “Right of Way

discusses the case editorially as fol
lows :
“The people of Concord are*eon

tt Northern beenu.ee of the hold-up
attitude assumed by some land
owners through whose properties the!
line was intruded to run. the I
Tribune makes statement to the es- |
feet Hint some owners have asked as
iwueh as #I.OOO an acre for rights of
way. and figures of that kiud are un
heard of in the history of the Inter
urban. As a matter of fact, the peo
ple along established .ines ot tnat
company wore irt the habit of fixing
the (barges at. low figures; in many
er.se* the rights of way were offered
free, and in one instance The Ob
server can recall, a farmer offered
net only to give his land, but was
so anxious to *u.e, that he
proposed to pay n premium if his
t'diite wa.s accepted* We have heard
of no trouble in Mecklenburg. On
the other hand the owner of the
largest tract through which the line
would puss, told' the l’iedtnond &
Northern to take pick of any route
it might desire through his farm and
go through h'.< barn, if it wanted to
do that. Other land-owners who
made charge at a I, fixed the fljiires
nt low rates —rates entirely airept
nb'.e to the company. Past history in
Interurban, as well as in steam rail
read construction, indicates that
these line; are not entirely depend
ent upon any one survey, for. It is
always pccsible to develop other |
routes equal desirable, even if they
must leave off some ;stint of im
portance. ns Coneord, in the present
instance. The Tribune understands
that toe Piedmont & Norifiorn stir- j
veyors are now going over n route |
which would take the une west of !
Concord —a line direct from Char- j
latte to Kannapolis, Jhe main point i
of contact in Cabarrus County being !
Poplar Ten'. It is probable, u so, as;
claimed, that this survey would give!
ih.- i'uH.l a cheaper link in construc-j
tion work. One. thing may be set I
down ns certain is that the*Piedmont |
& Northern is not going to permit ;
a hold-up; it,is not going to pay any I
>ueh price as SI,OOO an acre for a '
right of way, and if tire poperfy !
owners are fixing that price on then
land, they may be assured they will
not get it from the railroad' com
l*any.
"Another thing that may as well
be understood is that the interurban
people are not among tire classifica
tion of bluffers. They do not haggle
to bring down iwiees. The owners
set the price at which they .will sur
render the right of way; if the price
is too stiff, n reqne--t is made for
reduction to negotiable figures. If
there is no disposition to do this, the
next thing the property owners hear
is survey of a route through more
hospitable territory.

Tent line may bo regarded as the
final word to the sl,ooo-an-acre
proposition. That this, max prove to
In- the case is reason for Concord
people to be looking into the matter,
that Concord negotiations may be
kept open. The Observer Is concerned
about the situation mainly because
of its desire that Concord should be
on the direct line of prosperity that
will spring up in the wake of the
Interurban. It Wants to see Concord
located on the Interurban between
Coticord and Winston-Salem, and it
would learn that there is small

as final by the railroad people, then
it is the turn of Coneord to see that
the case is reopened, for it is Con
cord’s move. The Interurban people
will not bother about it. It is for
this reason 'that Concord should take
definite steps to prevent being side
tracked.
If Concord cannot secure the line
any, other way, it would pay the
town to buy up the rights ot was in
controversy ami offer them to the
eompomy at reasonable figures, if
not as an outright gift. It must not
be suposed that The observer is
speaking for the company. It is not.
But It is moved to these remarks be
cause of its knowledge of the # ways
of land-owners and of the railroad
habit of avoiding hold-ups by build
ing around them- The Interurban is
to be built according to the plans al
ready made public. There is uo “ifs”
about it, but it is not going to '.ay a
mile of track through land that is
valued at SI,OOO a mile, or anything
like that. Land of the kind—again
not speaking for the Interurban —
is too vuluaSle for railroad pur
poses. In this instance, Concord
does not want to deal with the rail
road people: it is the landowners
that the town should call into con
ference.”
DNLY SEVENDAYS
i LEFT IN SECOND
j BIG VOTE PERIOD
Prize Seekers In Our Big
Subscription Campaign!
I Should Take Full Ad
vantage of Present. i
VOTES NEEDED
TO WIN cars;
i I
And Votes Are Secured on i
Subscriptions.—Not Too;
Late For Any Candidate!
To Be Winner.
With only seven more working days j
after today remaining iu the second
period of The Tribune-Times cam
paign. candidates will do well to ap
preciate t'ie importance of the last
few weeks of this wonderful gift of
fer. The first thing to be realized
is the fact that with the end of this
present second period, on Saturday
night, October 31. the vote value of
subscriptions will again take a big
decline.
Because the first period was six
weeks in duration, it would be an
easy matter for conlestans to feel
that, the second period is to be an
■ indefinite duration of time and not
wake tip to the fact that it is near
a close until it is actually, gone. It
was for only two weeks to start wit';
and a half that time has now elapsed.
It is the feeling of the campaign man- j
agement that many arc failing to keep i
up the pace which has proven neces
sary for prizes of one's choice, and all
due to the fact that they have failed
to realize t'.ie importance of the
votes of this period.
The biggest help the management
can be to any one for the rest of
the campaign is to see that each one
understand that the standings of
the candidates are so close now that
j a single overlooked subscription may
i he a blow against winning one of the
four autonir biles or a large easli prize.
“A strong period every period.” would
be a fine slogan for those who desire
to win in this campaign. And it
will be found at the end that the big
winners have done that very thing
It will be fatal to slacken your pace
while an increase in speed . will be
the means of winning and winning
big.
Tomorrow, Saturday, will see every
well intentioned candidate in the
campaign office with substantial in
creases in vote scores. Wake to the
importance of the present period
while there is yet time to take ad
vantage of it. ' Remember the irn
oortance of the extension subscrip
tions ami do not overlook any poss -
bility of procuring One of those four
or five year subscriptions which ca’
mean the difference between strength
and weakness right now. Remember
a’so, that the prizes are just as large
and ns attractive now as they were
when the campaign ppened. and ar<
to be won the very same way as
when you started—by votes. And
subscriptions to The Tribune or The
Times count votes.
Says Modern Methods Saved Stanly
Farmers.
.Albemarle, Oct. 22. —W H Mabry
a prosperous farmer of the Norwood
section, was here Saturday. /‘Crops
are better than I though they would
be,” lie said. “But,” he continued,
“modern methods of fanning saved
the Stanly fanners.” He went on
to say i that bad such a drought as
we have had the past spring, sum
mer and fall, foutid crop cultivation
as it was a few years ago, there
would have been next to nothing
made. Air. Mabry said that he broke
most of his land last fall, and that
last spring he broke it good and deep
again, and put it in first class con
dition. “Then I just kept working
it,” he said. “The drier the weather
got the harder I cultivated.” He
stated that most of the farmers in
his section did the same thing.
