tCor of Richmond Dispatch.)
SCOTLAND NECK, n c., April Ii Il
News came yesterday that there is small
pox in the town of Lewiston, in BERTHE
county. A young man named Brown
passed the quarantine in Texas about
twenty days ago and came to his old
home near Lewiston. He came from
near small pox epidemic in Texas but
did not know he was inflicted. Since
reaching home he has seen many people
and seemed perfectly we'll. No one sus
pected that there was danger, but day
or two ago he was taken sick and the
physicians say that his symptoms resem-
ble small pox. There is some excitement
and fear that the disease will spread
considerably, as Brown had seen and
talked with great many people before
he was taken sick.

In the minds of a very large majority Of
persons very marked increase in the
highest speed at which railroad trains are
now run would mean proportionate increase
in the dangers which attend railroad travel
ing, if for no other reason, because the
momentum would be greater in case the
wheels left the track A train going at the
rate Of ninety miles an hour would be e1-
posed to Jar more disastrous consequences If
hurled from the rails than if it were gong at
only thirty miles an hour.
Admitting this TO be SO. the best expert
opinion is to the effect thet the ratio Of dan
GER Of derailment decreases with the increase
In the speed of the train where the road-bed
is in sound condition. grade crossings are abol-
ished and curves taken out. In other words.
on a practically straight track il the finest
condition and crossed either above or below
the level by roadways the faster train is
flying the smaller the risk to the passengers,
because the rate of speed at which the train
j. run requires as an unavoidable condition
the exercise Of the utmost prudence and at
tention.
With few exceptions railroad accidents are
attributable TO carelessness. which in much
larger measure than now would be eliminated
if trains were TO be run at ninety miles an
hour. This rate of speed has already been at
tanned on the Bound Brook route, the highest
record being mile in 80 is seconds which
means that the train passed the mile posts
forty-fye seconds apart.
Whether ninety miles an hour will become
an ordinary rate of speed Is question for the
future to decide. If it is really practicable
as o rule and not as an exception. and if the
claim be true that the danger from such
speed is not as great as the danger from
much lowes rate. the American people will
not be content until they are transported
from point to point at the rate of ninety miles
an hour and when ninety miles have become
a common rate they will sigh for an hundred
and twenty, which will make them more
anxious than ever for flying machines that
move with the ra2idity of an aerolite.

The Ohio situation Just now is decidedly

the fifty Republican editors of Ohio who re-
solved TO change the issue but the Major
