The e. 4 O. Railway,

The annual report Of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Railroad shows the affairs of the
corporation to have been admira bly,
managed by President Ingalls, and his
associates. and it's finances are in q
most healthy condition. The gross
earnings of the company's 1875 miles
of road were $40, 7Os, 1928 and the net
earnings S3.421, 413 63. The fixed charg-
es, less net income from other sources,
including a line of steamers and leased
track, were So, 118, 8T.8S, leaving sur
plus of 1902, 541.75, gain of $255, 200. 70
over the surplus of the previous year.
One of the most gratifying, as we'll as
significant, facts in the report is the
statement that no passenger was seri-
ously injured during the year.
The road has laid over its mountain
division in places 100 pound steel rails,
the heaviest now made. 1t has cleo
trio head lights and electric lighted
cars, and for ease and comfort in travel
none gives more general satisfaction.
For at least twenty-eight days out of a
month it is safe to set ones watch by
the trains, SO regular are they in their
arrivals and departures.

Cant. John N. Opie.

Capt. John N. Opie. who now seems
to be certain of the nomination for the
State Senate from this county, has
made a very aggressive and clean fight.
He entered the race with that intrep-
idity for which he has always been
noted and fought this battle with the
singular bravery, and dash, which has
ever characterized him as a citizen
and soldier. His campaign was free
from any double dealing, or political
tricks, and has greatly raised him in
the estimation of his opponents, and
strengthened him in the confidence OF
his friends. Should he be entrusted
with this high Office, as it seems now
he certainly will be, the interests o.
his constituents will be wholly safe in
his hands. He has never been trim
mer, he has had occasions of disap
pointment which might have driven q
less high minded and sincere man out
of the party. But such a thought
never entered the breast of Capt. Opie
and through every vicisitude he has
been always a true and and loya
Democrat, and an advocate of thu
rights of the people. His pronounced
views upon all questions now being
advocated by the Democrats, and hi
devotion to principle and right hav'
gathered about him a large and loya
| following.

Gov. O'Ferrall Will not Su pport thu
Democratic Ticket.

In the Washington Post of Wednes
day of last week long interview with
Gov. O'Ferrall is published. in which
the Governor declars that he will not
support the present Democratic ticket
unless he should feel afraid tho ticket
would be defeated. He is opposed to
| Republican rule and to avoid that and
that only would he vote the ticket.
He said when asked what led you to
repudiate Bryan and the Chicago
platform
II have no other reasons TO give than
those which seemed to me to be sufd
cient in the last campaign. The Chi
cago platform ..as not Democratic,
and infinitely worse than the Greeley
platform of 1872, and Mr.. Bryan was
not Democrat. The Chicago plat
form will be searched In vain for Dem
ocratic leaven. 1t abandoned the
time-honored principle of tariff for
revenue only, enunciated by every
Democratic convention which men
toned the tariff at all, from 1910 to
1899, and this inexcusable and Geliber-
ate departure was simply for the pur-
pose of catching the votes of the silver
Republicans, who were for free coin
age, but who were also for protection.
AS for the free coinage of silver, added
the Governor, with scornful voice,
'fyou cannot point to single plank,
sentence, line or word of any national
Democratic platform from 1910 to 1892,
inclusive, in which there is PROPOSE
ton, expressed or implied. direct or
limited at, for free coinage of silver at
any ratio, much less the arbitrary ratio
of 16 to l. The idea was born in Pop
ulist councils, and the Chicago conven-
ton adoptefit without even giving
the Populists credit for originating it.
The universal demand of Democracy
has been for honest money and a sound
dollar"
"But you say that Bryan was not a
Democrat3"
Gov. O'Ferrall, who had been speak
ing earnestly, swung around in his
chair Il charged during the last cam
paign,n he said, "and 1 reiterate the
charge now, tfrt Mr.. Bryan was not
Democrat. A mans politics must be

Judge not, that ye be not Judged


Governor O'Ferrall's announcement
that he will not support the State
Democratic ticket causes some sur
prise here among those who did not
find fault with his course last fall.
With his determination we will not
deal. We accord to every man the
right to chose which king he will serve,
but we are forced on account of his
structures on Mr.. Bryan to look at the
soundness of his argument, and to en-.
quire whether such criticism should
logically proceed from the Governor.
He says;
"Mr. Bryan is not Democrat. A
mans politics must be judged by his
expressions and acts. Bryan refused
to support a regularly nominated can
didate for Supreme Court Judge in his
own State"
If this is the standard by which a
man is judged, what has the Governor
to say about his running independent.
ly for Congress in this district some
years ago against Hon. John T. Har.
ris, the regular Democratic nominee
There is nobody who has ever disputed
that Mr.. Bryan was the regular nomi.
nee for the presidency, or that Mr.
Tyler, Mr.. Echols and Mr.. Montague
are the regular nominees for Clover
nor, Lieut.. Gov. and Atty. Gen. Gov
O'Ferrall did not support Harris reg
ular, Bryan regular, and will moi
support these latter regular nominees
If such offence were criminal in Bryan
why has the Governor dipped his
hands in the slime. or why does he
put Bryan down as unworthy of sup
port, and deny that he is Democrat
when he, the accuser, has done the sell
same thing and set the example way
back in the days when Bryan was a
boy at college? If then "a mans poll
tics must be judged by his expressions
and acts" will not the instrument used
to discover the mote in his brother s
eye, be used to find the beam in his
own eye?
