S. A. L. EXTENSION
Survey of Route From Cheraw to
Columbia.
The Extension, on Which PreIImIn.
nry Work Hns Begun, VIII Com
meet tho scnbonrd system with the
=. Florida, Central and Peninsula,

The survey of extension OF the Pal
motto road from Cheraw to Columbia
has already commenced.
The civil engineers began at the Che
raw end and are making Il preliminary
survey.
Division Supern William
Moncure, of Raleigh. has been put III
charge oc the work. During his alb
sencc Train Master j. II. Turner will
be Acting Division Superintendent
This is the largest division i'll the sys-
tenn, extending from here to Monroe,
and from Monroe 10 Rutherfordton and
TO Wilmington.
OBJECT OF EXTENSION.
This extension of the Palmetto road
IS for the purpose of connecting the
Seaboard system with the Florida. Cen
trail and Peninsular railroad. which the
Seaboard has recently purchased. The
extension is about 40 miles long,
through Il fine fruit country. and Will
when completed, give the ScabOard Il
Florida line 100 miles shorter than that
now used by tine Southern.
The Southern Railway has been using
the tracks of the Florida Central and
Peninsular for its trains to Florida
Now that its rival, the Scaboard, has
scooped up the property this arrange
ment VIII of course. have 10 cease. And
it Will mean one of three things: The
southern will have TO discontinue its
Florida travel. build its own line or
make new -trAcklge arrangements with
some other line.
THE SOUrHERN'S SITUATION.
The only other line that goes into
Florida ana can be go used is the
Plant System. That comes no further
north than Savannah. Ca. while the
southern goes South only to Columbia.
). G. Hence To make Il deal with the
Plant System the Southern must build
line from Columbia, s. c., to Sa-
Vannah, Ga.
And just this is said to now he the
Southern's Intention 10 do But such
an arrangement could be only tempo
rary ana sooner or later The Southern
must extend its own road on south,vard
II 1t would share in the great West IN
dian trade that is already coming this
way. The Plant System will at an
carly day be n competitor Of the
southern; with that avowed intention
IL Is even now at work on the North
ana South Carolina railroad to connect
the Atlantic ana Danvllle ana The
Plant System. When this is completed
there will lie another great ,hrnrch
line from the North TO the South. and
the Southern Will again be forced to
look out for Itself.
Seeing this 1t is more than probable
thai the Southern will at once set about
buying up such weak lines as II can
utiiiZe and where no line can be So
cured it will build.

Bryan Anniversary Club Democratic as
ISOLATION of this city today. A largely
attended reception was rendered Mr.
Bryan and Gov. Benton McMillin, of this
state, at the Southern hotel, during the
afternoon. This evening Mr.. Bryan ad-
dressed an audience Of 5000 people at
the city auditorium, Gov. McMillin Con-
gressman John A. Moon and other Demo-
Gratis of Tennessee occupying the rostrum
with the speaker. Mr.. Bryan discussed
the issues before the public, touching
/, upon the income tax, the money ques-
tien, trusts, the standing army and i'm
perialism, following the lines similar to
those of his recent speech. Speaking OF
imperialism Mr. Bryan said:
Our nation is about to depart from its
standard of morality and adopt a policy
Of criminal aggression. But will it yield?
American people will spurn the bribe OF
Imperialism, and by resisting temptation
win: such a victory as has never been
won since the battle of Yorktown.
The forcible annexation of the Philip
pine islands is not necessary to make
the United States world power. For
world power During its brief existence
1t has exerted upon the human race an
influence more potent for good than that
Of all the other nations of the earth COM
bined, and it has eXerted that influence
without a sword or Gatling gun. Mexico
and the republics of Central and South
AiutIlCdH testify W the DcHlS0 lHluenCo
of our institutions, while Europe and
Asia give evidence Of the working of the
leaven of self-government.
In the growth of Democracy we observe
the triumphant march of an idea-an idea
that would be weighted down rather than
aided by the armor and weapons proffer.
ed by imperialism.
At 10 o'clock tonight Mr. Bryan sat at
banquet rendered him at the Southern
hotel by the Bryan Birthday Anniversary
club. Responding to the toast "Democ-
racy' Mr.. Bryan took up Democracy
along Jeffersonian lines, and gave his rea-
sons for believing that the Democratic
idea was the growing one, and would ulti-
mately prevail over the plutocratic ideas
embodied in Republican policies.
He attempted to show how broad were
the principles and how enduring and why
they appealed to the common people.
should be robbed for the benefit of the
many or that the many should be robbed
for the benefit of the few. but that each
should be protected in the enjoyment of
the fruits OF his own toll and thus en-
couraged to put forth his best endeavors.
Mr.. Bryan said that no harm had been
done by that wealth which was acquired
as the legitimate reward Of a mans own
labor, but that wealth acquired in viola
ton Of law and through the perversion of
the inStrumentalities of government
sometimes becomes a menace to the gov
ernment itself. Democracy, he said, is
a protection to every toiler when he la
bors with his head or with his hand. 1t
is only a menace for those who seek to
appropriate unto themselves the proceeds
of the labor of others without giving ade-
Quate service in return.

Cassin Shoots a Cuban Major.
HAVANA. March 20.-Emil Cassin, for
mer chief trumpeter in Roosevelt's rough
riders. and long a resident in the United
States, who recently enlisted as lieu
tenant in the Havana police, shot a
major in the Cuban army at the Hotel
Irglaterra this evening. Another man
was wounded in the affFay that followed.
Cassin, dressed in plain clothing, hap
pened to be seated with friends at a ta-
BILE in the Cafe Inglaterra. A row was
started outside and he went to separate
the combatants, one Of whom refused to
obey him, and used threats. Cassin, who
showed his shield, threatened to shoot
unless there was an immediate surrender.
The man-the major In question-refused
to surrender, and Cassfn shot him, wound
ing him in the legs. The major stag
gered into the cafe next door, Cassin
followed, pistol in hand. At this juno
ture the American patrol of. the Eighth
infantry entered and ordered Cassin to
put up his pistol. The latter refused
and one Of the patrol, in an attempt to
shoot Cassin, severely wounded by
stander.
The police then cleared the streets Of
the agitated crowd looking on, momen-
tarily expecting "a general shooting af-
fray.
Emil Cassin is the rough rider trum-
peter who accompanied Gov. Roosevelt

York state last autumn. He is italian

but it would be extremely undesirable for
him. he declared, to give either CONTRA
