The Line Wholly Obliterated

Mason and Dixon's line may now be
said to be completely obliterated. The
war with Spain, it is true, almost
wiped out the imaginary dividing
line, which was heritage OF our civil
war, but it was not completely effaced
until the state of Indiana, with great
chivalry and magnanimity returned to
Texas the battlefag of Terry's Texas
rangers, which was captured by the
Seventeenth Indiana regiment. The
flag has hung for SO or more years on
the walls OF the Hoosier statehouse
and was few days ago returned to its
vanquished owners with appropriate
and pleasing ceremonies.
1t does not matter how the flag was
captured; its return is graceful act,
which strengthens the brotherly feel
ing between the sections once divided
by the Mason and Dixon line. The
reason the Seventeenth Indiana hap
pened to take the flag was because it
was the first regiment that came
along near the fence where the Terry
rangers had hung out the banner to
dry. 1t is true that the rangers had
been compelled to move on before they
had time to gaoher up their belong
ings. 1t is also true that the banner
was not snatched red handed in the
fury of the fray from the soldier who
bore it while leaden missiles were rid
ding it's blood stained folds. But all
this has nothing to do with the main
facts, nor does it lessen the courtesy
and good fellowship of the Hoosiers
in returning the flag.

A Money Making Medium.

To the merchant who advertises
regularly a popular and reliable
newspaper is certainly money max
ing medium. OF course, no sensible
tradesman will imagine that one adj
vertisement, or ten Of them, will
bring dollars by the bushel to his
cash drawer. But breezy and in
structive business notices, if they
appear daily in a good newspaper,
constitute a mighty element in the
successful establishment and main
tenance of profitable patronage
There is assuredly no magic power
in advertising; it cannot accomplish
the impossible. But there can be no
question as to it's value in increasing
merchants business.

Company was not in any way connect
ed with the movement of the VIII
mington City Railway Company to Sc
cure the use OF Sixth street, never was
and never expects TO be. We were or
ganized for the purpose OF carrying out
the plans already made known to the
public, to build competing lines
in this city. Il was a clean. honest ef-
fort to give the city OF Wilmington
healthy competition. We made appli-
cation for the various streets in good
faith. We had the money to build the
road and we have it yet.
I'VE offered 10 deal fairly with the
Wilmington and Brandywine Springs
Railway Company or any other subur-
ban road, and made an order in writing
to that effect to the Street and Sewer
commissioners. We. however, never
made any proposition that would be
applicable to the Wilmington City
Railway.
I'VE want to go on record on the
stand that we have taken. We acted In
perfect good faith.
