The ChONsan and Southern Rail-
Road.

1t is Known through the papers that
the Atlantic Coast Line has large interest
in the new road originally projected from
Portsmouth TO Raleigh via Tarboro and
Rocky Mount, known as the Chowan Il
Southern road. rhe surrey was made
something more than a year ago from
TuniS on the ChOwan river in Hertford
county miles below " mton, crossing
the Roanoke at place known as Pow
els Barn. on the Northslde leading
through Clark's farm on the Southside.
TINS seemed to be the only survey that
the former company cared 70 make.
strange to say, the survey was made lust
ut the point Of the river most dIsadvant-
ageO5:s Of all the possible points in that
VTclnlty. And so for these reasons: lust
below the point where the survey crosses
the river commences the SHARP Bend in
the river which rims for a number of
miles throwing the river and the road
survey almost parallel This will throw
che road through at least five miles of
low grounds where one continuous trestle
work or uneven banks must be huiItand
III many places it will necessarily be from
u to 20 feet high. Then in times of great
h"9 Is IN ttc Viver, as come almost every
wear, 1t VIII DC next to an responsibility
10 make this loi.G trcStle sufficiently
strong to withstand the great rushing
current that breaks over the ,iikes on the
river Unmanageabie floats of heavy logs
together with the strong current will
make 1t highly impracucable u build and
preserve such a trcStle.
BY referring to the map, it may be east
Iy seen that straight line from Auland-
er to TarbOro will cross the river at the
sharp bend mentioned above.
Now, after leaving the river low grounds
and reaching the highlands, Just before
touching the Scotland Neck extension
this survey runs for half mile down a
swamp, which will necessItate much
more heavy work.
This survey crosses the Scotland Neck
extension miles below Scotland Neck
NOW, we insist In the mutual interest
for both the railroad ana our p orle that
crossing the Roanoke river a little higher
up Will be better for both. 1t Will cost
not half so much to cross the river at
Nortteet's Ferry ,! miles above the pre-
sent survey. Running a direct line from
Aulander to Nortieet's Ferry there would
be no more than 300 feet of trestIing on
the North side of the river and not
more than hundred feet from the
river to Scotland Neck.
Almost the en- tire line from Norfeet's
Ferry to Scotlane Neck is perfectly level.
L seems to US that the Coast Line IN its
own absolute interest would be wise
above measure IN taking this survey

CITIZENS ENTHUSIASTIC.

a called meeting the cjtizeps of
Scotland Nenk met n EdnohdSon Hall
on Saturday last. 23rd, to consider the
mutual interests of the town of Scotland
Neck and the railroad authorities in run
ming the Chowan and Southern railroad

Hilliard Secretary of the meeting After
remarks by several gentlemen led by
MIR. r. II. Smith, Sr., the following re-
solutions, offered By Mr. R. II. Smith, Jr.,
were adopted.
Whereas, 1t is currently reported that
there Is probability of the Chowan and
Southern railroad being Extended across
the Roanoke river in the direction of Tar
boro, and whereas, it is believed that
this work Is under the control of -----
companies; Therefore,
Resoloed, That it is to the mutual in
terest and well being Of TIE town Of Scot
land Neck and community that said road
be built through the town and not a few
miles distant
ReSotUed, That committee of seven
be appointed to comm unicate in person
with the authorities who have this bust
ness in hand tc represent the interests of
Scotland Neck and to assure them of our
earnest desire of Incorporating with them,
setting forth the mutual advantage that
will accrue to both railroad and citizens
here by building it through the town.
RssolreG, That the authorities be lnyit-
ed to meet the citizens of Scotland Neck
at such time as they may appoint to dis
cdss the matter.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted and ordered to be published in
TttE DEMOCRAT and the Roanoke Ne,cS.
The following committee was appoint

that it was the one hnndredth an
niversary of the ratification of the
Constitution by the State of New
Hampshire, and he accordingly
moved that the Senate adjourn in re-
cognition Of the day and in honor of

The Senate adjourned until the

We cannot see why the Senate
should have made such an adjourn
ment for that occasion unless some
of the members wished to participate
that day in the ceremonies at the

Joseph LIS Flesche, one of the most
prominent Indians in the state, died
last week on his farm, about three miles
northwest of Bancroft, Neb. Mr.. La
Flesche belonged to the Omaha tribe, who
have always needed the wise council he
gave them. He saw several years ago the
great needs of the Indians in order to
make themselves successful. He said
they must till the soil, build comfortable
houses and educate their children If they
wish to raise above their present condition
Mr.. La Flesche had educated his family

mas from eastern institutions, and sew
eral of them now are holding responsible

stock and was worth several thousand
dollars at death.

Grain Spectators wild


Excitement on change over the Sep
TENDER wheat deal ceased Saturday only to
be resumed Monday morning. When the
opening bell tapped at 1890 the failures of
Frank Clifford g. Co. and S. C. Orr we're
announced and this only added to the ex-
element. Tha crowd began to lose their
heads because Of the heavy covering in
December wheat. There was perfect
craze to buy. The advance for thirty min
utes was most remarkable and there is no
telling where it would have ceased had not
Hutchinson eased the market by liberal
selling. s. c. Orr said his liabilities nre
about $50. 200, and that his suspension is
due to failure on the part of customers to
respond to his call for margins. lie said
he would be able to resume in day or
two. From friends Of the other firms it
was learned that it was short about $4,000
bushels OF September wheat and also on
October lard
