PUSHING OUT TO COAL FIELDS
AND MAKING SOUTH TO AT-'
LANTA OR CHARLOTTE
A PROGRESSIVE RAILROAD
(By W. J. Martin.)
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 20. Ordination
to the Baptist ministry was accorded
to W, C. Richardson, Sunday evening
in. Tabernacle Baptist church on rec
ommendation of the board of deacons
of that church. Rev. Mr. Richardson
has served for five years as assist
ant pastor of the church and has giv
en his time to the financial secretary
ship and missionary work. Now he
has resigned and accepted a call to
the pastorate of Rigsdale Baptist
church, Chattanooga, Tenn. and will
take up the duties of this pastorate
at once. Rev. Livington Johnson,
Rev. High C. Moore and Rev. A. M.
Simms constituted the board of min
isters who conferred the ordination.
In the absence of positive statement
of purpose by the Norfolk Southern
Railroad Company officials as to their
plans in the purchase of the Raleigh
& Sothport, Raleigh to Fayetteville,
Durham & Charlotte. Colon to Mt.
Eilead and the Asheboro & Aberdeen
hsboro to Aberdeen, there is a pretty
settled conviction among the well in
brmed here that the plans easily
included the establishment- of a
through line of road Raleigh to Con
cord and Charlotte but also the pror
jection of a . line westward via High
Point and Winston-Salem to ultimate
ly include the Elkin & Alleghany
now building to Sparta under the di
rection of President Jno. A. Mills,
President of the Raleigh &f Southport
and has plans' to push bh westward
across the - Virginia, line to connect
with the Norfolk & Western for coal
carrying and other heavy freigh and
hauling purposes. For the Raleigh-
Charlotte line there remains to be
constructed new links Fuquay Springs
to Colon to connect with the 'Raleigh
& Southport with . The Durham &
ChtfTotte "which then gives a direct
line to Troy toward Charlotte. Then
from Troy to Concord and Charlotte
there must be a new line extended.
For the utilization of the Asheboro &
Aberdeen for the western outlet there
must be .an extension to High Point
and Winstdn-Salem from Asheboro and
then a linking up with the Elkin &
Alleghany that the Norfolk Southern
now controls most probably through
the interests of Jno. A. Mills.
Commissioner of Agriculture W. A
Graham ersists in his contention that
the Dresent cotton crop will not ex
ceed 14,000,000 bales and that the
normal price for such a crop is 1
cents. He is therefore appealing to
the North Carolina cotton planters to
hold for this price which he insists
must be realized before the next crop
is marketable.
There will be two electrocutions at
the North Carolina State's prison on
Friday of this week. - The most no
table is Ross French, the young ind
ian who is to die for the murder of
Miss Ethel Shiler in Swain county,
and whose grandparents are to come
to witness the electrocution. The
other is Taylor Love, a negro, who
dies to expiate the murder of another
negro in Haywood county. This is the
first instance ' of the electrocution of
two victims on the same day since j
the North Carolina law for electrocu
tions instead of hanging went into
effect.
A broken rail on a trestle just be
yond McCullers, on the Raleigh &
Southport Railroad caused a serious
wreck Sunday night in which two
passenger coaches were completely
turned over and one end of the broken
rail driven with great force through
the floor of one of the coaches. For
a wonder no one was seriously hurt.
The negro fireman jumped and sus
tained injuries that sent him to the
hospital. All the passengers were
greatly frightened and right much
shaken up. The Raleigh High School
team was in the car that had the
broken rail driven into it and the end
of the rail narrowly mis3ed Professor
Graham, who was in charge of the
boys on their trip to Fayetteville to
play the high school' of that place.
The jurors have been drawn for the
term of United States Court that is
to be convened here by Judge Cinnor
on December 18. to dispose of press-
in? criminal cases. This is the No
vember term continued and the civil
cases are to go over to a special term
some time in January.

TOPS THE
EVOLLITIOF
AGENTS OF MADERO HAVE GENER
AL REYS ITS LEADER AR
RESTED FOR
VIOLATING NEUTRALTY
Sanx Antonio, Texas, Nov. 20.
Gen. Bernardo Reyes was arrested
here Saturday by a United States
marshal on the charge of violating
laws. The arrest was made in ur-
suance of an Indictment returned by
the Federal grand jury sitting at
Laredo. ,
Besides General Bernardo Reyes,
four Mexicans of prominence and the
sheriff of Webb county. Texas, are
charged in indictments returned in
the United States District Court here
today with conspiracy to violate the
neutrality laws of the United States.
Rudolf o Reyes, son of the general;
Antonio Magoon, of Monterery; Se-
veiro Vallareal of Laredo; Amader
Sanchez, sheriff of this county, and
the private secretary of General Reye
are those named in the indictments.
Sanchez, Magoon and Villareal
were taken into custody at Laredo
Instructions were telegraphed to
t Ytonio for the arrest of the
others.
Today's Indictments came as a cli
max to an investigation ty tn fed
eral grand - jury in progress for sev
eral weeks, of reports that an upris
ing in Mexico with General Reyes a?
the leader was being arranged on this
side of the border.
Today search is being made for
arms and ammunition said to be se
creted in this city.
Examination Waived.
San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 20. Gen
Bernardo Reyes, commander in chief
of the Mexican army during the re
gime of former President Diaz, ar
rested today says he. is temporarily
residing in San Antonio because he
considered tris life was iot secure, in
he Southern Republic The arrest' is
on an indictment returned by the
Federal Government at Laredo charg
ed with conspiring against-the pres
ent Mexican Government.
Gen. Reyes waived examination and
made a bond of $5,000 to insure hi
presenco today before Unite States
Commissioner Edward, when it is ex
pected a certified copy of the indict
ment will have reached San Antonio
A new bond will then be arranged.
His trial will be held at Laredo at a
date to be fixed later.
The arrest of Gen. Reyes, who was
named with several others as involv
ed in an alleged plot against the Mex
ican Government, comes as a climax
to rumors of an impending revolution
which have been heard for several
weeks. Several days ago prominent
followers of President Madero. of
Mexico who are in San Antonio, flat
ly charged that Gen.t Reyes were ar
ranging an uprising from this side
of the border. "
The General describes his arrest as
"ridiculous."
"I consider it persecution," he said,
"and the animus is not hard to find
As I have aMways done, I again deny
that I have in any manner led, aid
ed,' abetted or considered a revolu
tion in Mexico, nor have I joined in
any conspiracy to start one."
He placecT the blame on the Mad
eristas.
