YESTERDAY WENT THE SERVIAN CAPITAL NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY EXTENSION TALK Report From Charlotte Says That The System Is Aiming For Points Further South. RELIEVED HERE THAT THE RUMORS ARE TRUE. The Officials Not Giving Any Information But Are Making No Denials. Out Charlotte, Dec. 2. Is the Norfolk Southern to press south of Oharlottr in order to get an outlet on tho South Atlantic or at some gulf port.? This question is again being asked, but no answer returned, for the mani fest reason that those who have the knowledge will not talk and those who are not on the inside and cog nizant of future plans, are not in a position to know these things. How ever here are various speculative guesses being indulged in as the fol lowing from a Sanford paper will show: "A local railroad man who claims to have inside information says the authorities of the Norfolk Southern are laying plans to extend the road fromCharlotte through Georgia and Florida and make it a trunk line. They are trying to purchase two or three small railroads in these States and if they succeed in getting hold of these properties the missing link will be connected up as was done in this State when .the Aberdeen & Asheboro, Glendon & Gulf, Raleigh & Western roads were purchased by the Norfolk Southern. It has been understood all along that, the Norfolk Southern would not stop at Charlotte, but what direction it would take after leaving that city was not known. This road reaches the coast at two points, Beau fort and the port of Norfolk, and traverses a fine farming section, and shouldit be extended through Geor gia and to the Florida coast it would become one of thr great trunk lines of the South. Lee is the only county in the South that is touched by the Norfolk Southern and the three prin cipal trunk lines south of the Poto mac." Several Things Evident. Just what is under Cover is some thing of extreme interest to Charlotte people. Several things are self-evident One. of these is that tho Nor folk Southern was never intendecKto stop in Charlotte. The proverbial "wayfaring man" would never assert such a proposition. TJie promoters of the Norfolk Southern road as it is now constituted, purpossed developing a great system ont of a- numhsr- of jointed links' by connecting them up and building them from section to section. The first unit in this develop ment plan was the acquisition of the Several short lines between Raleigh and Charlotte and the extension of the road into the Queen city. This has been accomplished and those in charge fere waiting the clearing of the muddled waters for another, ex tension. This it is believed will carry the road through the highly fertile and wonderfully , commercially de veloped section of the upper Pied mont, say into Atlanta, and then the third step' will be to carry the system to some' deep-water South , Atlanta port, suoh as Brunswick, Ga., or some Gulf port vwhere the Panama 'canal trade can be tapped v. Charlotte First Stop. (Charlotte was selected for the first stopping place- and . every energy is now .being directed by those: in con trol of the system to develop the sys tem: and build u the supporting terri tory? in :; ordr .to ,pave the way for the Second Btep.. This will doubtless come ; a few.: years J hence - when ' the finanoia' waters have cleared a little and the; part . ofothe system , already iihder operation' will justify the ex- tension.

CARHART RELEASED FROM CUSTODY LAST EVENING w. Atlanta. (iu Dec. 2-W. B. Tar hart, president of the Carhart Shoe Manufacturing .'ompany. last night shot and instantly killed James l. Callaway, a prominnet business man, in the Carhart residence. '. According to the story: Mrs. Carhart at the Capital City told the police, Callaway was a mem hereof a party last night with Mr. and Callaway departed early. Up on arriving home, Mrs. Carhart dis covered the man in her son's room. Carhart entered the room and found Callaway, who was mistaken for a burglar by Carhart when he fired the fatal shot. This afternoon the coroner's jury held that the shooting was justifi able homicide and released Carhart. This practically brings the case to a close. The gas freight boat Wave, left yesterday morning for Morehead City with a cargo of merchandise. very broad and firm foundation moving slow and developing as they go and such growth is the kind that always brings lasting results. Char lotte affords an admirable resting place for between stages of develop ment for the reason that it is the most important center in the Pied mont and taps the highly productive field of tho textile area of this sec tion. According to those who are in a position to guess at such big things applying the rule of economic condi tions to development already in hand the next step of the Norfolk Southern will be to skirt tho upper border of the Piedmont section, striking for access into Atlanta, where connection will probably be made with the A. B. $ A. road of which Mr. E. T. Lamb, formerly president of the Norfolk Southern, is the head. This system is said to be controlled by .in terests that also control the Norfolk Southern and hence the community of interest established. This road could furnish trackage into Brunswick, Ga., where deep water is reaohed, pr could afford communication on into the Gulf States proper. Of course it is to be understood that nothing immediate is contem plated. Se veral years will probably have to elapse before any overt ac tion is taken but in the meantime, there will arise many features that will tend to strengthen this aim of those in charge of this system. That Charlotte is immensely interested is evident for this city .will. :be one of the- main points along the new line. This Piedmont territory is said to be the richest OA. ithe line of the Southcrn'on account of the number of manufacturing establishments found in this -section, s Hdnce the desire of the new system to get into this field and obtain . a share of the .heavy traffic , - SHOT PROMINENT Ml FIVE CENTS PER COPY GREAT REVIVAL AT TABERNACLE COMES TO Ei After Two and One Half Weeks One of The Greatest Meet ings of The Year Is Concluded. EIGHTEEN ADDITIONS TO THE CHURCH ARE MADE. Real Religious Awakening Has Been Brought About By Rev. Callaway And Assistants. With last night's service the-Revival at tho Tabernu-lc Baptist church closed. The meeting has run for two and one half weeks during which time tireless efforts have been put forth in the interest of the cause of Christianity in this community and the results have been marvelous. While there has only been eighteen additions to the church during tho meeting this is considered one of tin: greatest revivals in the history of the Tabernacle Haptrst church. It has been a real religious awaken ing in this city and the christians have been thoroughly awakened and are determined as never before to dedicate their lives to the servico of their Savior, i Mr. Callaway has proven himself to be an humble yet fearless minister of the Gospel. He has condemned sin fearlessly and with out compromise and has appointed the sinner to Jesus as his only means of escape. The Gospel messages of this gifted minister will have a lasting effect upon the community at large. At the close of last night's service Mr. Callaway in a very appropriate manner highly complimented the membership of the Taberncale church for their loyalty during the meeting. He stated that he had heard so much about this people until he really ex pected to find a loyal, consecrated band of workers, but that after he had been privileged to work with them during this meeting that they had even surpassed his expectations, and he predicted that within five years the Tabernacle would be one of the largest, as they are now one of t ho most influential, churches in the State. He spoke in the very high est terms of t ho present pastor. Rev. R. W. Thiot, and said that ho expected great things to be accom plished under the efficient leadership of Mr. Thiot. James W. '"Jelks, the singing evangelist, who has been an impor tant factor in this revival campaign as leader of the music, was next to express his appreciation of the loyalty of the congregations that have at tended the meeting'. lie was loud in his praise of the splendid choir who has stood so nobly by him dur ing this campaign and also of tho kind hospitality of the membership. Mr. Jelks stated that he had fallen in love with New Bern and that he would like to make New Bern his home were it not for the incon veniences that would be subjected to, and from the general remarks of both the preacher and the singer, they had been extraordinarily fav orably impressed with New Bern and her people.. Mr. Callaway and Mr. Jelks leave on tomorrow morn ing for their home in Macon. Mr. Callaway is pastor of the Taber nacle. Baptist church of that city and Mr. Jelks has Macon as his head quarters and travels over the coun try leading singing in evangelistic campaigns. FIVE THOUSAND NEGROES IN - . THIS MOB.
