Subscription papers will be out in few

This Is matter which has been agitated
for long time, and the residents OF both
places, as well as those living along the
road, are very desirous to see the plant in
running order. The Municipal League Of
Cumberland has become interested in the
matter to such an extent that already pre-
liminary agitation has commenced. A COM
mittee from the league has had one confer
ence with the Union Traction Company,
and in all probability more will follow,
until the matter is settled to the entire
satisfaction of the people.
There was some talk of organizing a
local company to equip the road. Not.
withstanding the willingness of some of the
business men of this vicinity to take sto, X
in the company 1t is thought that it viii

not look large, but there are many minor
details, not yet taken into consideration N
by these enthusiastic railway men, whit h
will in the end amount to large sum.
Under these circumstances all proper
effort ought to be made to induce the
United Traction people to extend their
tricks to the desired point before talking
of local company.

Easter Sale at Lonsdale Hall.

Inc patrlOtlc entSrtdluuitut anu supper
given last evening in Lonsdale Hall by the
ladies of the Lonsdale Baptist Church for
the benefit of the parsonage fund was a
success far beyond the expectations of the
promoters. The hall was beautifully dec
Grated, and handsome booths, presided
over by charming young ladies, greeted
the eyes Of the visitors, as they entered the
hall.
The booths contained many beautiful
and useful articles for household use and
the large sales were source of much grati-
fication to the committee. The literary
and vocal program was of patriotic order
and the efforts of the artists met with
warm reception. An excellent supper was
served, and among the good things to
tempt ones appetite was delicious
chowder.
The ladies of the Baptist Church were
assisted by the Kings Daughters Of Christ
Church, who entered into the success OF
the affair with much enthusiasm. The en-
tertainment programme was under the di-
rection of Mrs. George p. Pierce, assisted
by an able corps of young ladies.
Taken as whole the affair proved huge
success, and will add tidy sum to the
treasury Of the parsonage fund.

Christ rs the friend Of sinners.
1t seems to be certainly true that
Christ is the dominant thought Of the
world to-day. There are evidences on
every hand that His gospel Of peace and
good will to men has a steadily increasing

"RAILWAY ATTORNEY"

1t may be due largely to recent hap
penings within our State, or it may be
that the people Of the South are gener-
ally awakening to a realization Of the
undue influences exerted by attorneys Of
| corporations in the efforts to thwal't the
will of the people, but whatever the
cause, it is a fact-a fact to be deplored
that the very name Railway Attor-
ney" carries with it certain amount Of
odum, and produces resentment among
people who naturally love and cherish
their rights and liberties.
In justice to those legal representatives
Of railroads, who confne themselves to
legitimate attorncyship, it is to be regret
ted that this thing should be, for many
Of them are among our most honorable
and useful citizens, who would not pros
titute their talents lobbying for railroads
or doing any questionable act for them
or for any other client. And it is gener
ally believed and admitted that all rail-
roads are not of the same stripe.
This state of affairs, however, may be
attributed, so far as our own opinion is
concerned, to the recent wholesale cor
ruption Of the Legislature in
North Carolina on the part OF the South
ern Railway, by their attorneys and
through their officials in this State-of-
fcials, some Of whom, recent events have
retained by Mr.. Morgan and his asso-
ciates, for the purpose of controlling
Legislatures and other officers.
Again we say this is to be deplored!

tEllZaBeUn Clty EcOnOmSt.)
We had never thought we would have
to bow our head in shame for old Gates.
Her honor has always been dear to us
and her name the synOnyme of all that
was excellent in virtue and hero SIN in
manhood. But, alas! we have lived to
see it fall and have its name stained
with disgrace. Countrymen of the Will
leys, the Gatlings, the Parkers, the
Coopers, the Roberts, the Morgans, the
Smiths, and others as high up in the
roll of honor, weep with US at her degra-
datiOn.
The commissioners of Gates county are
George J. Costen, J. f. Sparkman and
Nathaniel Eure. The two first are Pub
Pops, of the darkest, deepest dye. The
last is a true Democrat, but helpless in
the hands of his ignoble assOcia tes. Some
weeks since they drew jury preparatory
to the meeting Of the Superior court for
the county last week. When they were
drawing the jury they called ON Jim Jen-
kins, a buck negro and Republican poll
tiGan, to assist them in selecting a jury.
Every one of the names as drawn was
submitted to the negro. Jim, to pro-
nounce upon his fitness as a juror. IL he
said no, he was thrown OUT if Jim ac-
cepted him he was accepted. When the
Outra geOus ceremony was finished Jim
had selected IA negroes, and rejected as
decent white men as We're to be found
in the county.
We don't know Costen nor Sparkman,
the two nice commissioners, and we have
no ambition to know them. We once
knew a George COsten and his father,
Jane, but we are sure he would not 50
d;shonor his lineage as to be party to
such a disgraceful transaction. The
mere suspicion Of it nauseates US. We
dismiss the foul thonught. We beg par
don for the mwelcome suspicion, Jim
was not commissioner, nor an Of
ficer of any kind, but was simply an Of
ficiOus adviser of a miserable majority
of the county board of commissioners,
who needed the advice OF Jim's superior
intelligence. Some OF the negroes Jim
selected had not paid their taxes, and
had to pledge their jury ticket for the
payment.
When Judge Bryan learned of this
disgraceful procedure, he directed the
solicitor to call the attention Of the grand
jury to the conduct Of the commissioners,
and. TO suggest their indictment. The
decent people Of Gates county are out
ragged BY it, and the honored name Of
Gates county IL in the dust.
There Is sometimes talk Of negro equal
ity, but this band Of degraded Republican
politicians have placed themselves below
the equality OF this offensive negro.

A SUGGESTION AS TO SEEING
EASTER BONNETS.
Monroe Enquirer.)

A fashion magazine says that we need
an Easter church." so arranged that
each woman could see every bonnet in
the church, and at the same time have
her own bonnet seen by every other
woman. That would be great indeed.
Now the woman in the back seat feels
sad to think that no other woman can
see her bonnet, and the woman in the
front seat feels equally sad to think that
she cannot see the bonnet row. But If
it lis impossible to have church so ar
ranged that every one can see and be
seen at the same time, why not have
an entrance at the pulpit for Easter so
that it would not benecessary to wiring
ones head off TO see the new bonnet as
they come in.
