A LINE SHOPS
All the Car Shops to be Located in this
City and the Machine Shops Removed
to South Rocky Mount

In business circles yesterday a ru-
NOR became prevalent to the effect
hat the Atlantic Coast Line had de-
cided on a movement which would Sc
riously affect our commercial interest
the removal of it's shops from this city
to Rocky Mount and Florence, S. C. A
Messenger representative was sent to
headquarters to ascertain tn. truthful
ness, if any of the rumor, and he
learned that the report was false, but
hat it, no doubt, obtained it's origin
from the fact that the Coast Line in
tends in future to divide the work of
their shops into two classes-machine
and car departments. The entire work
Rocky Mount and the latter in Will
mingtOn. The object of this is to con-
centrate the work, which will facili-
tate matters and make the business of
the car department more extensive.
The car shops now in Florence are to
be transferred to this city, and the
machine shops here removed to South
Rocky Mount. The ~transf1r is at
present gradually being made, but will
not finally be concluded before the eX-
piration of two or three months. The
taking away Of our machine shops and
the substitution of more car shops will
not make any ~perceptible change in
the force now employed by the line in
this city.

Out of 1866 actions disposed OF since
the passage Of the act requiring GRIM
inal statistics 10 be reported 10 this
office, solicitors have entered nolle
prosequis in 1852 cases. Thus il ap-
pears that the time of public Offices
and the money of the state has been
used to set on foot 1852 prosecutions,
which had TO be abandoned. While
there are many we'll known reasons
why there is such a large per centum
OF nolle proseQuis, it is to be hoped
that thorough work in the grand jury
room and prompt prosecutions after
Indictment will tend greatly TO lessen
the number.
Trials for capital offenses should
be simplifed. The defendant is al
lowed twenty-three peremptory chal-
lenges; the state only four. There is
now no reason why the defendant
should have any advantage over the
state in the matter of challenges to the
jury. At one time the defendant had
few privileges in comparison with
those of the Crown. That the pri-
soner must be shown to be guilty be-
yond a reasonable doubt and with the
unanimous voice of twelve men, is suf-
ficient for an innocent man. The
gross inequalities to which the state
is now put in all such trials, which
render it almost impossible to convict
the Suiltiest, if he is able to retain
skillful and influential counsel, should
be abolished. The state and defendant
each, should be allowed the same
number of challenges, say six. Lynch
law will not disappear so long as So
ciety lacks confidence in the ability of
the courts to protect society.

serious injury in an accident yester-
day. The three were Messrs. E. F.

was very painfully hurt.
The accident happened about 9 o'clock
in the morning. The three young men
We're engaged at work on the second
floor of the building, which was then
practically the roof, the third story
having been t0rr-down. They We're
standing on ~rafters, but in order to
work more rapid, they thoughtlessly
stepped down On the ceiling, which was
insecure and at once gave away. Mr..
Hawkins managed to keep from falling
by clinging to a rafter, but MS TWO
companions were less and
were p%recipitated to the floor beneath,
a distance of about eighteen feet. Both
escaped serious injury, but were pain
fully cut and bruised. They were de-
cidedly lucky to escape without any
bones being broken. Mr.. Hawkins was
somewhat hurt.
DR.. w. D. Mcmillan, superintendent
of health, was quickly summoned, n
attended to the injured men. who were
then taken to their respective homes.

TO PULL FOR e
A Large Delegation of Wilmingtenians
Leave for Raleigh on a Special Train
to Urge the Hon. Frank Mcneil for
One of the Railroad Commissioners

The commercial and business organ
izations Of Wilmington having endors-
ed the Hon. Frank Mcneil for one of
the three railroad commissioners to be
elected by the general assembly now
sitting at Raleigh, a large delegation
Of Wilmingtonians, including some of
our leading and most influential citi-
zens and business men, left for the
state capital on a special train last
night at 1880 o'clock on the Seaboard
Air Line. The party consisted of
Congressman-elect John D.. Bellamy,
Captain w. r. Kenan, Captain T. c.
James, Colonel Roger Moore, Captain
T. D. Meares, and Messrs. r. w. Hicks,
Andrew Smith, Sol. Bear, S. P. Nc
Nair, l.. Hansen, James Kyle, J. A.
Taylor, Benz. Bell, D. McEachern, w.
B. Cooper, G. j. Boney, l.. P. Macken-
zie, r. NJ. Wescott and j.. c.. Steven
son. Accompanying the delegation
were Chief of Police E. G.. Parmele,
Commander George L. Morton, of the
North Carolina naval battalion, who
go on other business, and Mr.. r. w.
Wallace, manager of h Orion, who
is en- route to Durham for a few days.
The train on which the delegation
went to Raleigh was due at Hamlet
last night at II o'clock. There they will
take a. sleeper, and arrive in Raleigh
this morning at 2 o'clock. They will
occupy their own car today, and to-
night they will leave on the return
home. They expect to reach Whining
ton tomorrow morning at 7:30 o'clock.
The delegation goes to Raleigh to
urge the selection of the Hon. Frank
MCNEIL as one of the three railroad
commissioners, soon to be elected, and
it is hoped hal the influence of such
a strong body of our representative cit
iZens will a it's weight with the
general assembly. There are several
reasons why the general assembly
should recognize the claims Of Will
mington. The first is because it is
the largest commercial centee and sea-
port of the state. Another n very
good reason is the valuable result ac-
complished here to overthrowfusionism
and redeem North Carolina in the last
campaign, and besides other grounds,
Wilmington presents a candidate of
unexceptionable worthiness in Mr.. Nc
Neill-a gentleman of irreproachable
character, a man of marked ability
and eminent fitness for h. position,
and an experienced, clear headed, just
man., possessing just the qualities and
the qualifications for the responsible
office of commissioner
The Messenger heartily reconds the
efforts Of our citizens in securing the
election of Mr.. Mcneil, and it is hoped
the general assembly will recognize
Wilmington in it's reasonable request
in this connection.
