TINE C. r. Ny. v. RAILROAD.


The failure of the gentlemen who
built the Cape Fear and Yadkin Val
ley railroad was the hardest blow the
STATE. has received in many years. They
were native North Carolinians, ambi-
tious for the States advancement, and
anxious to build great railroad sys-
tenn from the mountains to the sea-
But for the general depression that
came upon the country their hopes
would have been realized, and the
State would have had four great rail
road systems
The failure made it practically GER
tain that the ownership would pass
out of the hands of the North Caroln-
ians, but the hope has been entertain
ed all along that it would remain as a
system and not be dismembered. At
ter long consideration the Baltimore
committee mase recommendation
looking to the preservation of the road
as an entirety which the Fayetteville
Observer says would mean I'M the near
future through competing freight
route to Baltimore. via Lexington, Va,
and to all points ON the Baltimore and
Ohio system.
1t seems, however, that the Balti-
more plan is not acceptable to the New
York committee The last issue of
the Fayetteville Observer Thus com
ments upon the matter which is of
deep interest to the whole State:
THE New York committees plan
seeks the roads ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and
it is believed, in the interest of a sys~
tenn which would reduce the dismem-
bered parts to mere feeders of itself
"Sentimentally, no Fayetteville man
can view the latter proposition with
any feeling short of resentment-so
bound up in the story of all the old
towns struggles is the history Of this
road Nor can the North Carolinian,
at large. contemplate its consumma-
ton with very different feelings-for
it is the only distinctiyely North Caro-
linian railway system now left to the
State.
Materially, the case for the preserv-
alton of the road from dismember-
ment. appeals TO the pocket. as We Sc

the whole country from Wilmington

I'VE trust that those interested will

this matter, and lend the ample power

THE PRICE OF A KISS.

A man by the name of Casias Ores
cler made complaint to a magistrate
in New York that in going home Fri
day night four pretty girls met him
at the corner Of Allen and Riyington
streets and kissed him in spite Of his
efforts 70 get away. Mr.. Drescler
called for the police and the girls were
arrested They were arraigned before
Magistrate Wentworth Saturday and
the plaintiff identified two of them as
those who snatched kisses from his
ruby lips. he court offered TO hold
the girls to await the result Of Ores
eler's injuries, but the plaintiff insisted
upon having an immediate hearing
that he might make an example Of
the women who could not resist the
temptation TO kiss pretty man. The
court was forced to act, and the girls
were fined So and costs for kissing an
unprotected man.
1t was very small fine considering
the gravity of the offense. The pun
ishment" should have been made ito
fit the crime so as TO deter other
women from kissing lone and solitary
men as they walk the streets at night
Two dollars for four kisses rates
them at fifty cents each. They were
either worth a great deal more than
that or worth nothing at all The
magistrate no doubt found it difficult
TO put price upon so fieeting a thing
as a kiss. He is doubtless a crnsty old
batchelor who regards kissing as use
less luxury, worth little or nothing.

Connecticut Life Insurance Co

This company has no speculative feature,
contrived for the company's advantage, nor
the incontestable clause--admitting rascals

The 3 per cent Reserve has become an

People are wondering what will be
the outcome Of the close contest for the
Senatorship IN the Kentucky Lcgisla-
ture They evidently have forgotten
that the Republicans have big ma
iority in the House. They will settle
it easily by turning out enough Dem.
ocrats to give them sufficient major
ity on joint ballot, just as Reed turned
out Democrats when he was Speaker
in order to enable his crowd to rush
through the Mckinley act and other
legislation that is to-day cursing the

One of the dangers of our times is
that of developing sort of hatred for
men simply because they have wealth.
There is no doubt much teaching in re-
gard to wealth, which is pernicious
and which is preparing the way for a
Sihiiism as deadly as ever cursed the
Russian Empire. A man is not neces-
sarily bad because he has wealth. Rich
men have been blessing to the world
in all the ages, provided they obtained
their wealth by honest and upright
methods and used it for the glory of
God and the good of their race.--N. G..
