April 9th, 1891.
Our friend, Mr.. Swinburn, of Rose.
boro, in last weeks issue, asked us
the question tWhy does the young
druggist Of Roseboro visit Autry.
vile so often?" Now we do not like
to say, as we have never asked him,
and don't want to be prying into
other peoples affairs, but judging
from what we have heard, and in
fact from personal observation we
may say that his visits are doubtless
due to the charms possessed by one
of the fair nymphs who helps by her
presence to adorn the society OF Au-
tryville.
Mr.. Cotton all, who has been
quite sick for some days, we are glad
to say is convalescent.
Ho, We turpentine men, bring it
on. Yellow dip $3.50 and Virgin
$500 at Autryville.
We were pleased to see Prof. Ran
kin with several Of his pupils from
Steadman in Autryville last Satur-
day.
Mad dogs are all the go now, OIL
rather all the people go 10 get away

A few days later some hogs owned
by Mr.. S. j. FairclOth were bitten

THE RAILROAD COMMITS
SION AT WORK.

Col. Fred. Olds gives the follow
ing information about the workings
of the Commission:
The Railway Commission has is
sued its first order. 1t requires the
Richmond and Danville railway TO
remedy the changes Of passenger
cars at Salisbury and Greensboro.
~ passenger car is to run through
from Paint Rock to Goldsboro with
out change. The railway will read
lily obey the order. Major Wilson,
chairman Of the Commission, was
asked if the car could not go right
on through to Morehead City. He
said that would in all probability be
arranged.
The Commission has prepared the
following civ cular letter to all rail-
ways: "Your attention is called to
sections 20, II and % of the Rail-
way Commission Act. We trust
that your depots and stations are al
ready or may soon be placed in such
condition a. to promote the securi-
ty, convenience and accommodation
of the people, that there may be no
just cause for complaint" This
calls the attention of the roads to
matter of placing their depots in
good shape for the convenience OF
the public.
1t having been brought to the no.
tice of the Commi sion that discrim.
| nations have been practiced by the
Western Union Telegraph Company
notice was sent to them to fix a
uniform rate of tolls. 1t was alleged
that the toll from Morganton to Raj
eigh is forty cents, while from Ashe-
vile to Raleigh it is cnly twenty
five cents.
The Commissioners have agreed
upon their rules of practice. These
are practically those of the Inter
State Commission, with some alter
tiOns by this Commission and some
suggested by the rules of the GeOr-
gia Commission.
The Railway commission finds
that there are over sixty railways in
operation in the STATE. including
branches.
Since the above was in type the
Commissioners have issued second
order, making Il general reduction:
in t,reights and passenger rates to go
into effect June 30th. The railroads
Will be given hearing to show
cause (f they cdn) whv these rates
ehould not go into effect. Com
plaint must be made to the Commits
siOners of Determinations and over
charges, for otherwise they will not
know of if.

topped the record with an egg which
weighed six ounces. This hen usu-

S0lDlERLY SELF RESPECT.

An Object Lesson to Those Who Would
Rely on Pensions.
A new National society has been organ
lied at Washington, D. c.. with the title
1.-THE Society of Loyal Volunteers" 1t
is society originating among soldiers of
the rebellion. though not strictly con-
fined to those who served in the field. A
branch of the society is to be
organized in this city and Police
Captain Frederick T. Farrier and
q number of other veterans take great
interest in it's success.
It's object Is to obtain such revision of
the pension laws as will serve to protect
the good name of all who volunteered
for the defence of the Union, as well as
to provide for the necessities Of honor
ably discharged soldiers and sailors who
really need aid.
The soldiers who have framed its con-
stitution hold that the granting of pen
sions should be based solely upon impair
ment of earning capacity. Wives of dis
abled men, their near relatives ana
widows and orphans are to
be eligible for membership. The
primary object will be to provide
employment for all who can work and so
put them above the need of pensions. and
to cancel all pensions In any way tine
tured with fraud. The soldier will be
.tauQht to respect himself and so compel
the respect of others.

ANOTHER STREET ENCOURAGEMENT
Piles Driven and Other Work Done,
Yet the Police Know Nothing
About Ii.
STREET ENCOURAGEMENT

The Lehigh Valley Railroad has stolen
The railroad, in crossing Linden avenue,
stole over twenty-five feet of city
property. Linden avenue is crossed
by bridge twenty feet above
the grade of the street, and two
rows of piles have beeu driven on the
city's property to support the bridge. The
Fifth precinct police have been watching
the railroad for several weeks past and
why they allowed them to gobble up the
city property is mystery. The
two supports have been placed in
the middle of the roadway
about seven feet apart and Il large truck
or wagon cannot pass between them,
The supports virtually shut off all traffic
and as this is one of the only two streets
leading to the New York Bay snore in
the Greenvlle section the ciUizeus are
beginning to kick. One of the members
of the Sixth District Citizens Improve
ment Association roundly denounced the
police for allowing the railroad company
TO steal the street, and said that he would
complain to the Street and Water Com
mlssioners about it at once.
SUPERINTENDENT SMITH IGNORANT.
| called upon Superiuten ent of Police
Smith and asked him if he knew that the
railway had stolen the street.
1T is news to me, y he replied, II have
heard nothing whatever about it. The
Fifth precinct has made no report and l
will look up the matter"
