The revised charter bill which has been so much under discus sion the past several days' and which passed the House last week passed its second reading in the Senate last night and would come up for its final reading today, after which it is supposed to be a fixture. It was reported here this morning that there had been some change made in the bill be fore passing the Senate, A tele gram from The Tribune's Raleigh correspondent this morning stat ed that the bill passed its second reading last night and would pass third today. A private telegram last night brought the same in formation and further intimated that some change had been made, It is not considered, however. that the change, if change there be, amounts to much. THIRD READING PASSED IN SENATE TODAY. Having passed the first and second reading the Charter bill was of course expected, to pass its final reading in the Senate to day, and this it did before noon, this being the final act m making the measure a law. It is all over now, but the shouting and Con cord's new charter, , whatever that means, is a fixture and the much discussed recorder bill is a law. ' - STORY OFSTEALING Reports That an Employee of Southern at Spencer Has Made Away With Lots of Coal in Car Lots -Detectives at Work on Case. : 1 A story comes from Salisbury to effect that one of the promi nent yard men of the Spencer agency of the Southern is in jail iharged with stealing coal by the car loads. As the story runs this man with perhaps several con federates sold and delivered on their own account coal by the carloads and that the coal was taken from the yards, where it was for the time stopped in tran sit. Detectives have been at work on the case for some time and as reports say have arrested and jailed this yard man and may land others in the same place at an early day. The story current here is that more than a hundred cars were stolen, "the most of them being taken during the congestion some months ago, when freight was so delayed and congestion was . so serious. The plan was for this man to sell a few cars of coal at some point along the line and then deliver from the Spencer yards. The common belief is that one man could not have, worked such a scheme unaided and that he has more than one confederate. The man jailed is one holding a re sponsible place on the Spencer yards and'was in a good position to head such a scheme. Some of the facts about this theft were published last week in the Salisbury Post and it has been expected daily that some interesting developments wou!d come to light. It was reported here that an arrest had been made, but' Salisbury this morning advised The Tribune that such was not the case, though likely at any time.

Court at Greensboro to Show That There is a Scarcity of Labor in State Southern Road Getting Heavy Rails for its Road Bed's 'Improvement. Greensboro, March 6. Mr. D. B. Coltrane was a witness before the United States court here yes terday where the trial of the mill men for violation of the im migrant lawsjs in progress, i Mr. J. W, Cannon, of Concord was also called to Greensboro for the purpose of giving testimony be fore the court today. Yesterday is reported as being a good day for the defendants and there seems tobe a strong sentiment that the defendants wiH win out in this case that has caused - so much' discussion and comment. The evidence yesterday was for the purpose of showing the scarcity of labor in the state and throughout the Southern states, it being shown that the scarcity of labor in North Carolina varies from 10 to 25 per cent, In an attempt to shoot Ed Purvis last -night, James Smith, both of whom are colored, shot the 13-year-old daughter of Pur vis through the hand. The trouble grew out of a dispute over a buggy robe, which Purvis said was stolen from him by Smith, who is employed as a carriage driver by Purvise who ownes a street carriage. Later in the day, -while drunk Smith went to his em ployer's place of business and assaulted him. , Purvis beat him soundly and reported the matter to the police. Smith later sought an officer and tried to secure- a warrant for Purvis. Failing in this he went home, secured his shot gun and went to Purvis' house to square up the matter, which ended in his inflicting a painful wound in the hand of his employer's daughter. The police arrived before further trouble was done, and after a lively chase captured Smith and locked him up to await a hearing before the mayor this afternoon. Seventeen car loads of eighty- five pound rails arrived a few ago to be used in improvements on the roadbed of the Southern between Pomona and Winston Salem. . Fifty more cars are ex pected at an early date and the work of placing the rails will be gin at once. What Have We Got?

OPPOSE THE Bill Reidsville Thinks the Anti-Trust Bill Would Ruin the Tobacco Market at Their Town and Pass Resolutions Condemning the Bill, Requesting at the Same Time That it be Defeated Reidsville, March 6. There is great apprehension here over the passage of the Reid anti-trust bill, it being the general opinion that the law would drive out the buyers of the American Tobacco Co., from North Carolina markets and build up Virginia markets at the expense of our own markets. The Reidsville Tobacco Board and the Young Men's Business Association held a meeting this morning and passed strong reso lutions in opposition to the bill. Senator Buxton was requested by wire to have the bill killed in the Senate. The leading citizens of this place are the opinion that an enactment of this bill would result in the ruin of the Reids ville tobacco market by reason of its close proximity to Danville. Endorsed by Statesmen. It is a pleasure to witness a play or read a book that has been endorsed by great leaders of pub lic opinion. Such is "The Clans man" which received high praise from Senator Tillman, Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, Attorney-General Anderson, of Vir ginia, and otner aoie men m public life. These "Elder States men" recommend "The Clans man" because of its historical truth, its dramatic quality, and in order that the younger gen eration may learn and profit by its story of the terrible Recon struction struggle and the brave folk who participated therein. The only visit of "The Clansman" here this season will be at the New Opera House Saturday night DyR)ai'Ki.i is our national ailment. Burdock Blood Blittors is the uatio'iitl cure for it.

(fide v-- U THE CAR il PROJECT Movement to Build Car Line Across Country Should be of Interest to Concord and Her People. "".." As has been published, a move ment is on foot to build a car line across the country, passing Mt Pleasant and several other points to Monroe., Attorney T. J. Jerome, of Salisbury, has been in Monroe talking the- matter over with the people interested with the end in view of building from Salisbury, passing Mt. Pleas ant to Monroe. The meeting of men interested in this project held some weeks ago to consider the matter developed the fact that the idea was to build either to Salisbury or Concord. The Tribune understands the Salis bury people have taken action and propose to secure the road for their town. The Tribune be lieves that Concord should do the same thing. Just what is in this move cannot be known just how. The scheme may not amount to much, on the other hand it may be of great significance, and we ' should keep up with the matter and take steps toward securing what we may to our best interest.
