It is often thought that the people of North Carolina seek at every General Assembly to introduce legislative enact ments against the railroads of this State, that are of a hostile character. No doubt there is legislation introduced and made into laws, which compel rail road companies to change their meth ods. But to say that the people are inimical to railroads will be 'found dis proved, by looking backward twenty five or more years, and noting tbe grants, privileges and bonds voted rail roads to enable them to build and de velop, and become the great paying properties they are today. At the coming legislature next month, no doubt a bill will be introduced ask ing for a lower mileage rate for pas sengers. Three and one quarter cents a mile is an absurd charge as its exis's in North Carolina today. Yet there has been no move on the part of any rail road company to lessen the rate to a lower rate, and meet in some decree the change that other States have made in giving passengers a rate that agrees with the general progress of the country. But the railroads just stand at the old rates, so the people to pro tect their own interests must force a change. A few months ago the Atlantic Coast Line station and freight house at Jack sonville, N. C, was destroyed by fire. This railroad company that pays annually to its stockholders from twenty to forty percent in dividends, put on a side track an old freight car as a freight house, and used a portion of the platform which escaped the fire, as a passenger station. This was some months ago. Tbe citizens of Jacksonville waited pa tiently for this railroad company to spend the few hundred dollars necessa ry to bui!d a new station and freight house, and give the patrons of the road some protection. But no sign was shown that the railroad people were conscious of the absence of a station at Jacksonville. The only thing the people could do was to appeal to the Corpora tion Commission, and ask it to force the Atlantic Coast Line to give them a shelter where the trains stopped, for themselves and their goods. Is it any surprise that the people of Jackson ville "cuss out" with a vim the Atlan tic Coast Line, and will gladly welcome any other railroad project that would give them an outlet? And yet the A. C. L. people are abu sing the Jacksonville folks, because they are trying to make the railroad people live op to their obligations, not to take into consideration the decency that is due the people who give the railroad their business. The truth is that the railroad people, generally speaking, have grown so themselves, that they forget that the people who made them great are entitled to fair treatment at their hands, without be ing compelled to make laws. A STATE NORMAL COLLEGE ' FOR EASTERN CAROLINA Two year ago there' was the spirit in Eastern Carolina for the establish meet nf a State Normal ColUge, to be conducted along the broad, and liberal educational lines, that has given the Slate Normal at Greensboro, more than local importance. Next month, East ern Carolina will come before the Gen eral Assembly, asking that its section have established this college, in tome city which shall prove its value, as the place for such an institution of educa tion. It is not alone that the State Normal C. " ;9 at Crepnsbero has its capacity t !, an J boyond, to receive appli ( ' ;, t!mt E.. i!rn Carolina will be " ! a f,r tt f. ! 1 for a second Nor " 8 !;;. in is a field in - ' a c y, ar.J would a college be established under State recognition, on account of the stim ulus that would ' be given every educational impulse of the peo ple, and hasten the day when illiteracy would net be found in any degree in Eastern Carolina. ; V ; - Today, Eastern Carolina is filling up with new people. A State Normal College would prove of vast benefit as an educational inducement tor more people to come, besides giving oppor tunity to the youth who may be unable to go away from home, to receive edu cational benefits. What the people of Eastern Carolina need to do in this matter is to be a unit in action, plan and effort to get the Legislature to provide the appropria tion for the use in the establishment of a State Normal College. Once have the decision made that such an insti tution will be established by the State, then let the competing cities of this section present their individual claims, why the college should be established within their borders. But first, get the bill passed. To Cur A Cold Is On Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets Druggists refund money if it fails to cure E. W. Grove's signature is on each box. 25c.

Causes Terrible Suffering in Many Places in the North . .west. The Associated Press dispatches are rife with stories of suffering and dis tress in the Northwest. Not only is wood but food is scarce and it's a puz zling problem to know how to relieve the situation. Already the affairs have taken a serious aspect as will be seen by the following "specials" from many cities and towns in tbe Northwest.: Minneapolis, Dec 19. Railway ser vice has been interrupted by the cold and blizzards on the western prairies. A telegram today from the Citizens' Committee of Ambros, N. D., to the Journal, is as follows: "Ambrose is without coal and pro visions. Twenty cars of fuel and food! in the hands of the railway company must be brought here by a special train at once in order to relieve the situa tion, or great suffering will result : fHave wired the general agent of the Zoo Line, but no assurance of re lieving present needs has been secured. " MANY TOWNSWITHOUT COAL OR WOOD. Philadelphia) Dec. 19. A special to the Public Ledger from Grand Forks, N. D., says: The Northwest no longer faces a fuel famine. It experiences one. There is not a town in the northern half of the state in which coal can be had except in small quantities and to supply imme diate needs. In scores of places there is not a pound to be bought, the dealers having been out of fuel for days, and in some uses for a week or more. At Ltkota dealers are out of all fuel and citizens aie sharing with their neighbors. At Caodo the flour mill has been closed, for three weeks for lack of fuel, and the light plant is also closed. At Granville the last coal was sold on December 8th. At Towner and Rugby the schools are closed, as they are in many smaller towns. At Minot the Cen tral heating plant has closed down at intervals to save fuel. These illustra tions could be multiplied indefinitely. POSSIBILITY OP A SNOW BLOCKADE DREADED. One of the worst features is the pos sibility of a snow blockade. There is more snow on the ground now than any time since 1896. Thus far there have been no high winds and bad drifts, but a storm such as is usual at any time in the winter would pile up immense drifts and tie up the roads for many days and cripple them for the entire winter. In this appalling" condition the people are paying no attention to - the lack of cars for wheat shipments, ' al though immense quantities lie on the ground, buried under the snow. . Citi zens, commercial and civic bodies and State newspapers demand that fuel be given the right of way over everything and rushed to the points where it is needed. i : There are some 2,000 miles of rail way in the State, over which not more than one passenger train and one freight run each day. These lines it is almost impossible to keep open. It is along them that there is the greatest suffer ing, - i- . , FENCES AND OUTBUILDINGS BURNED. At Aetna the coal and wood supply was exhaused ten days ago.; The kero sene supply holds out, but is disappear ing rapidly. The railroad there has been blockaded hy show three times this fall, but no fuel has been received for more than month. Fences have been torn'down for fuel; outbuildings have been sacrificed; the lumber yards have been depleted. Farmers are twist ing hay and straw into knots and bu'.n inz them. Snow has been falling for two weeks and the highways are block ed. If no relief comes soon the people threaten to raid the elevators and bum grain. -r- Bean the ' ' w Haw kmn ; ' Tlhf IhkI Yon Haw Arways Blfnatar : . : Church Festival .

All over the eo'i-itry in ths m with of December each year the lodge of Elks holds memorial service a lodge of sorrow-and these, moss interesting meetings are m i t alwy largely atten ded by the uniiit.ia'wl th" !,!! ton or ci'y tris t a -tin a-1mi.sion bcati? it is somMhini; w r h wale.- ' The dead are rem r.berrd on this oc la.sion the names of those who depar ted are railed called rwice and thrice and as no response m" fiom those long since in glory, there be brothers still on the bitter banks of time who come forward and pay a tribute to those once on earth. The dead live again the so far as friends are concerned, they do not materialize and come from spirit world but a brother, a' comrade hand In hand "o to speak walks down the platform and recites the virtues of the absent one and thus by reason of this beautiful custom, the grave is for ever green. - . - " : ' With wonderful rapidity the ranks' of Elkdom are swelling they are counted now by the thousands, and the member ship is being gathered from the best people of the communities where lodges exist The old idea that long prevailed that an Elk was a social outcast or a vagabond a drunkard or a profliagte has been given the'ie Hy all the facts and figures presented for many years. The Elk, the man who wears the an tlers; who really has the creed in his bones is the superlatis of all that the broader charity of humanity suggests. He is a man who does not count his small change more than once; a man who feels that a human heart may beat warm although piled high by tons of sinful wreckage. He is a man, for the most part, of the world a man who has lived and walked on both sides of the neutral zone who has seen sorrow and felt sorrow and who has never shrunk from sharing it with a ship wrecked brother. He is a man who knows that a drink of likker is a nec essity after a night's wild dissipation ajid he is notnarrow enough to believe that because a man's flesh was weak that he was irretrievably lost and dam ned. The Elk is a man who believes in his soul in that divine injunction to love one another and his religion is charity. Charitable views for the weak and erring; a drink instead of a tract for the man whose nerves are shattered by the fierce consuming flames of al cohol; a belief that somehow when a good man goes wrong that all the hosts of hell are not shouting their glad huz- zahs because it happened but a hope that there will yet be found a way to overcome the difficulty.. It is the Elk's belief that a ton of coal and a hurry up order for it to arrive at the cheerless home of a freezing family, no matter what caused the distress is worth a thousand sermons on " Our Duty to the poor" and it is on the impulse of this belief that the Elks collectively act In every town where there is a lodge of Elks their silent charity is ever bring ing prayers fror heavy hearts and eyes tear-dim-ned look to heaven to thank these noble benefactors. When the Elks go out to find where deserving charity can spread its mantle no creed no sect, no denomination is seen by it but poverty is poverty and want i want and a Brotherhood of all Hu manity hears the cry and offers sucjor. When the Elks lodge shall number a million members -as it w II in the. course of years its iniuence will be felt throughout the world. It is teaching humanity the lesson of charity; it is suggesting 1 1 the man who lives in hi narrow views that there is some- thin goi- like In the freedom of thought and action which the. Elk enjoys and practices it is a creed that will finally put the Christ mi feeling in the bones of mankind and' make it manifest throughout the years If every man you met wore an antler on his coat if every man you knew was an Elk in good standing ; if your neighbor belonged to the Elks lodge and practiced what it preaches as he wouM we would live in a more inviting world,- there would be fewer cheerless homes and evry where there would be extended a help ing hand. It is an order that recog nizea fault in fellowman; it knows that sin abound and it feels that if a fellow has done the best he can, even if he stumbled, he has a right to try again, Originally the Elks Lodge, was con ceived by wandering showmen th vagabonds of genius whose mnsic is the gladness of the world men who thought not of richi-s who cared not of riches who eared not for fame but who, rich in talents, strolled here and there and felt the need of some warmth to subdue the austerity of a dollar chas ing and dollar loving world, and its creed was humanity charity. For some years the straight-laced and pain fully pious ones feared - contamination with this order but happily, a broader light and a fairer understanding of what the order aims to do has placed it. in the front rank of secret societies. No man te day need apologize ior wear ing an antler on his coat; no man need explain why he joined the Elks it is understood, if he does belong, that he gravitated towarls them because he was born an E lk became In the won derful alchemy Of G-xi there are prin ciples defined as elements - the ulti mate, Sndecompwable cons' ituents of anykiniof mhtter and in the frail thing called huiriMi nature there is in some an el. ni. nt that ever lives and for a butter name it has been styled rM..m.
