Evidence of an anarchistic plot against Presi dent Roosevelt on his forthcoming hunting trip in Africa was made public to-day by the police author ities of half a dozen countries who have been examining the Spanish anarchist Canatrava in an effort to connect him with a suspected plot against King Alfonzo.

The last of the Blowing Hock railroad projects seems to have been put to sleep for some years to come, and the talk now is of a macadamized road with a compen sated grade, and the use of the au tomobile for passenger and freight traflic (lumber excluded). The idea had U-en generally entertain ed that automobiles were barred from the turnpike between Lenoir and Blowing Rock, but for years the toll irate' signs have lorne the words: "Automobiles, 50 cents." Mr. Osmand Barringer, the Char lotte automobile man, who is for, ward in all developement projects, this week demonstrated the utility of the turnpike. The present grade proved no obstacle in fact, the going up was better than the coming down. No teams were scared and the trip served to con vince the people of the safety of the automobile. It seems now that the automobile is to be the present solution of the Blowing Rock traf fic. Passengers could be whirled along, comfortably and swiftly. As to freights, Mr. Barringer says he would guarantee a rate of a ton a mile at 10 cents. That is, he would carry the produce of Blow ing Rock to Lenoir, 25 miles, (giv ing long distance) at 12.50 a ton and make it in three hours. It would seem that the automobile proposition ought to interest the people of Lenoir and Rlowing Rock. I A SNAP The Only Snap is Here!
