IS THIS TRUE?
THE STATEMENT IS MADE
THAT TdE SOUTHERN
Ha Secured Control of the Sea
board Air Line.
A special f-oin Atlanta today says :
''tor several days it has been a sub-j-ct
of common report here that the
southern railway ban secured control
of the Sal'ard Air Liue system.
Seaboard officials bere admit that they
understand that the report are correct
and they expect to Ion their jobs when
the Soutben takes a live possession.
The control 1 as beeu secured,, accord
ing to report, by the purchase of a
purchase of a majority of the common
stock of the Seaboard & Roanoke
company.
"The Seabonid My Klein reaches from
Portsmouth to Atlanta, with steamship
lines from Portsmouth to Baltimore,
New York, Providence and Boston.
The railway mileage is about 850
miles. The Seaboard lias been mak
ing a costly fight on the Southern and
it is stated that theSoutharn considered
it oheaper to buy its rival than to
light it."
The news contained in this tele
gram flew fast. 8. A. L. people de
nied it. Col. A. B. Andrews, who is
viee president of the Southern, said
when he read it that there was no
truth in it.
It is no secret that the Southern
would like to buy or acquire control
of the S. A. L. and would go to great
lengths to carry out that objeot It is
equally true that Raleigh needs both
roads and it is the opinion of most
persons one hears talk that their con
solidation would be a very unfortu
nate thing so far as business interests
are concerned.
This afternoon vice-president St.
John was seen at his car. He said:
"There is no truth whatever in the re
port. Ton can say that without ques
tion. The statement that the 8. A. L.
men at Atlanta did not deny th re
port rauHt be due U the fact that they
were silent There are only clerks
at Atlanta and they are not in a posi
tion to know of suoh a matter, I as
sure you of the inaccuracy of the
rumor."

of W. R. Seat, at lliK), View. Thirty
one b.rrels of whiskey were seized

or th- fact that Seat f -tiled to pay tax
on hie liquor.
Deputy collector Kridr seized a 50
gallou illicit distillery near Bellevoir,
Chatham county. Lewis Marley and
Henry Perry, t.i veteran moonshin
ers ou whom the ..ffi-ete would like to

A MO Mi THE iELAVAKi:S
The Crop of (hi Ever Popular
Urapn in Very Lur;re.
One of the prettiest, spectacles any
where iu this vicinity is Sir. Bilyeu's
vineyard of Delaware grapes. He has
in it 8,000 vices of that 'nseions grape,
in ull hearing, and 4,t .')) young vines
a -e coming on. He ban another vine
yard Wfst of the state experiment
farm, this also being of Delawareg,
the queen of talJe grapes. It is a
sight to see the vines, so heavy are
they with their burden of graptg.
Some of them weigh 15 pounds. Mr.
Bilyen has Fold 10 pounds from one
viue for $1. He estiraales the receipts
f,r an acre at J500. The expenses
will be $100. this not including his
ltbor. This is the best record he has
yet made. But his viues have never
been so f ally fruited as they are this
season Dels a ares resist rot better
than any other grape. But few are
affected. There are two kinds of rot;
tbe early ordinary rot and the sour
rot. It appears that electricity has
i methiog to do with the latter kind.
L.ist yearthe first shipment of grapes
by Mr. Hilyeu was made July 23, on'y
one day later than the first from South
ern Pines. This season the first ship
ment is expected to be made about
July 25
The Shemwell Case.
The Greensboro Record says that
the following comments were heard
after Shemwell was acquitted: "David
son had as well nail up its courthouse
doors and shut up shop. The county
has no need of courts." "It's evident
Shemwell' s acquittal cost him a round
sum. ; Whether any of the jurymen
got any of the money or will get any
may never be known, yet it will be
difficult to make people believe some
of them were not well paid for their
work."
"It's a farce and an enaouragement
for lynching."
"Could a man hire that jury, cage
them up and start in the show busi
ness, charging an admission of 50
cents a . head exhibiting them, he
would make a fortune." Public opin
ion has been outraged as well as jus
tice. The next time a man U shot
there will be a lynching. It is evi
dent olass distinction played an im
portant part in the acquittal The
middle classes were made to believe
that (he Paynes were aristocratic, au
toorat'c and were of the rule or ruin
sort, while Shemwell was held up as
one of the common people who would
not bow his knee to them. With such
ideas fastened in the brain of a fool
there could be no other result."
William Jolly, the white' man who
had trouble with his wife and who has
been in jail, was released this .morn
ing on payment of oosta amounting
to $38.
