WILL HAVE NO EFFECT.

Many people seem 70 think that the CON
templated building of the branch OF the
N. q. railroad is more for the purpose OF
preventing the peoples voting for sub
scription TO the capital stock OF the N. W.
and C.: but it will have no effect upon the
voters except to cause Them to make
greater efforts to carry subscription. Two
wears ago an effort vas made by the citi-
zens of this town 10 get that road to build
a branch to Windsor, but the managers
refused to do so after the citizens offered
TO give them the right OF way from Aulan-
der TO this place and to take considerable
amount of stock in that road.

WINDSOR, N. c., March 22.-Your cor.
respondent has learned that a civil engi-
neer of the Norfolk and Carolina railroad
will tomorrow commence TO survey the
route for brauch OF that road from Au-
lander, a station on that road. through
Windsor and on TO Aryen, on the Abe
marie sound, distance of thirty miles.
THIS road will pass through rich and fer
tile country, where large and fine crops
are grown. The building of this branch
will in no wise affect the building
of the N. w. and q. road, as the
people all along the line are anxious for 1t
70 come. as it will open up large section
of the country which only needs better
and quicker transportation facilities TO
make it the richest section in the eastern
part OF this State. The majority OF the
voters along the route OF this, projected
road are strongly in favor of their town
ships taking stock, and subscriptions will
be carried by large majority.

A DRINKING CONTEST.
Two Suburban Doctors Make Wager tc

Two Suburban Doctors Make a Wager to
Test Their Whisky Capacity.
Two leading physicians of q Pittsburg
suburb made a wager the other day to see
which could drink the most whisky. No
names need be mentioned, but Dean will
do for one and Cara tor the other. The
contest came off on Christmas eve in
Deans Office, and number of friends
gathered to act as Judges and join
in the festivities It so happened
that Cara, having been born abroad, is a
cunning FELLOW, and he brought his wit to
the assistance of his stomach. He placed q
cuspidor near his chair, and when Dean
was not looking quickly and deftly poured
his whisky into it. Now, Dean is an honest
man and was in for straight test Of
strength. He drained his glasses dry, and
in the course of time his eyes frightened,
his conversation became snappy, and the
liquor began to dance hornplpe in his era
mum.
Cara was as cool as q cucumber, and
Dean couldn't help noticing it Come,
Doctor" Cara would say, with a slight
touch of foreign accent, "fll up the glasses,
and let us have another drink" Dean re-
sponded promptly to the invitation every
time, and as he is game man he didn't
