FROM WINSTON.
The New Trains on the R. &c S,
Crowded With Passengers.

WINSTON, n. c. April 91.-[Special]-
Hurrah for the Roanoke and Southern !
is the cheerful news that comes to Win
ston from Martinsville nowadays. AS
stated in my telegram Friday night,
schedule trains were put on between
here and Martinsville Yesterday morn
ing and the first passenger to buy a
ticket from here to the end of the line
was MIR. Samuel III. Taylor, of Winston.
Two trains are now running on the road
"a passenger and freight! The former
leaves Martinsville at 7 n. M, arrives at
Winston at IL II leaves on its return
trip at4 p. M. The freight leaves here
at 7:l5 a. m. and returns at $40 o M.
Ihe passenger train yesterday brought
from all along the line. Another large
crowd came down this morning.
Speaking with Superintendent Maslin
about the road and its work, your cor
respondent learns that the road is doing
well, and the company is anxious to get
1T completed to Roanoke. Tho time
liked for trains to be running through
is not later than December, 1891.
Tho two new engines which the COM
pany ordered a few weeks ago have
been shipped. Their weight is lOo, 600
pounds and wero built expressly for
heavy work. The weight of the two
now in use is 30, 600 and %. 900 pounds.
Your correspondent has boon trying

Rocky Mount the engineering corps
that was to be put to work on the pro-
posed line south of Winston have been
delayed. III this connection I desire to
state that the special sent to The TIMES
a few days ago relative to tho report
here that there was a probability of the
road not going by Rocky Mount, etc.,
was stated upon reliable authority, and
learn again that the matter has not
been definitely decided upon yet, but
Will be in a few days. Rocky Mount
people need not be surprised should the
route for tho Roanoke and Southern
road be changed to the middle sur

pose or desire of damaging anybody,
either. -"
The real estate boom has struck Win
ston and Salem for 1891. Over one
hundred thousand dollars worth of
property changed hands last week, and
yesterday Mr.. E. l.. Hawks, v~icc-presl-
dent OF the street railway company,
purchased $4,000 worth OF dirt from
MIR. IL. w. Fries near the new hotel site
in West Winston.
Winston entertained Mr.. and Mrs. J.
W.. Allemong, of Salem, Va, last week
and was delighted to hear Thorn speak
IN complimentary term of our twin
towns: Mr.. Allemong invested quite
literally in real estate here.
Messrs. Graham Bros, of Danville,
va, arc here with a force of hands and
will break dirt tomorrow for Winston's
100000 hotel building, the "Zinzen-
dorf."
Colonel f. II. Fries, in company with
President w. a. Lemley, of tho Wa
chovia National Bank, left last night
for Baltimore to purchase some more
material for tho Roanoke and Southern
road. They will probably visit Roam
Okc before thew return.

From the list of the commissioners

enough to charge fraud or malprac-

such malpractice TOOK place, or else
let him hold his peace. Indulgence in
glittering generalities avails not when

WHAT WILL THEY DO?

OF the twenty-eight sO-called dele
gates appointed by that little coterie
of would-be political bosses, who had
to count people as "present but not
voting" in order to give them the APP
pearance of a quorum, four have al
rrady peremtorily declined to serve.
These four gentlemen rendered their
declination before the primary election
and gave good and sufficient reasons to
justify their action. They recognized
the fact that the right to choose repre-
sentatives is vested under our system
of government with the people and
sharply rebuked the attempt of an ar
rogant minority of the Central Com
mittee to usurp the rights of the peo-
pie.
Since the alleged appointment of
these s~o-called delegates, the Demo-
eracy of Lafourche has spoken on the
subject and has most emphatically re
pudiated the revolutionary and un-
democratic action of the minority of
the committer. 1t has asserted it's
rights and prerogatiyes in no uncer-
tain name and it behoOves every
true Democrat to hearken to the voice
of the people.
Hence, naturally arises the questio n
what will the remaining so-called de-
legates do The people havs pro-
nounced against them by electlng their
own delegates by an overwhelming
majority of the white votes of Lafour-
che, and have formally revoked what
ever semblance of authority they might
have laid claim to under the pretended
appointment of the minority. The
sovereigns have declared that those
who had arrogated to themselves the
authority to bcstow rights and prero-
.gatives which belong to the Demo-
cracy collectively, had acted without
any authority whatever" in the premi-
ses, and their pretended appointment
