ASSOCIAfED" 1 PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXV No New Developments In The P. & N. Case i Efforts to Reach Settle* ment So Line Can Come by This City Are Still Being Made. LAND VALUES ARE TOO HIGH Those Close to P. & N. Officials Declare Prices Asked In this County Will Be Refused. 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 merce. who are acting as mediators in the case, are still at work seeking a solution that, will bring the ex tension of the P. & X. line* t'iirough this city. t’nder the caption, “Right of Way Hold Cps,** Tile Charlotte Observer discusses the case editorially as fol lows : “The people of Concord are*eon sidcra i>* disturbed over development that the town nmy lose the Piedmont 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.

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. "Perhap the survey of the Poplar 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 iwospect that the Piedmont & North er* officials are to assume a begging attitdde.

MOVEMENT TO EXTEND RAILROAD STILL OPEN Death of Mr. Duka Will Not Mean Change of Plana of P. & N. : Raleigh, Oet. 22—The movement | to extend the Piedmont, and North ern electric lines from Charlotte to 'Winston-Sa'em will not be aban doned because of the dentil of .Tames B. Duke, former Governor Alomson said here today. , ( "Of course, Mr. 1 take's death has materially effected the plans for the project, but I am hopeful that the Title Can be built any way,” he said.

Charged With Murdering Capt. Clews ! Southampton, Klig., dot. 23.—OP)— j Thomas Augustus Towers, first officer j of the Canadian Pacific I.’ner Melita, j was arraigned here today and remand ! ed for one week on a charge of muriler j ing Capt. Arthur Haywood Clews i while the vessel was at Antwerp, i Towers looked dazed, but made no iign when the charge was read. 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.
