| hope that they will not criticize our
action until we have taken action.
As a matter of fact Capt. Carraway
and his committee have presented no
bill, but are considering the bill intro
duced in the House. 1t is one of the
best committees in the House, composed
of practical and level-headed men who
want good roads, but who know wat
the people can stand and they will not
try to go in advance Of what will prove
practicable and acceptable.
Capt. Carraway, long the popular
travelling correspondent of the News
and Observer, knows every foot of land
in North Carolina, and has travelled over
most every road in the State. He was
such a traveller that he was given the
name Of Dirt Road Walker, and long
signed his bright communications ID. II.
Walker. The State is fortunate in hav.
ing him at the head of the committee.
What he doesn't know about roads
good, bad and indifferent-isn't worth
knowing.

cerned, had resigned through the agent
appointed to convey the resignation TO
the Governor. This was the legal propo-
sition which Mr. Winston argued with
great force.
There is another view of this matter
which Mr.. Winston urged. The i'm
parchment of Judge Norwood can only
proceed on the idea that we are 10
cleanse the State of North Carolina -
the crowd that has Inundated, degraded
and wronged the State. Our press has
for months demanded that other high
officials including the Chief Executive
of the State, he impeached and has
daily teemed with charges of official
misconduct and corruption. If this be
true, the beginning should be made not
against the weak and erring, but with
the strong, vicious and corrupt, if such
they were.
The impeachments should begin at the
top and not at the bottom.
N0rwood's crimes, il any he has COM
mitted, are those of weakness. The
crimes of others, as depicted in the
press, are those of strcngth-eXecutnS
the purposes of a vicious heart.
Mr.. Winston closed with Il feeling
tribute to Judge Norwood's high charac
ter, except for his one weakness.
Mr.. Robinson, of Cumberland, thought
that Col Lusk was the agent of Judge
Norwood for the delivery OF the resig-
nation and that public policy forbids that
a judge should be placed in such posi-
zion as the resignation in the hands of
Col. Lusk put Judge Norwood, and that
therefore the resignation was not valid.
Mr.. Justice, of Mcdowell, took the
position that Col. Lusk was Judge Nor
woods agent for the delivery of the
resignation and that he acted III the
scope of his agency-and tnat therefore
the resignation was valid and Norwood
is not judge.
Judge Conner, of Wilson, thought this
one of the most important matters that
had or would come before this Legisla
ture. He thought the resignation OF
Judge Norwood not effective. Is it posi-
BILE, HE asked, that Il Judge can put it
in the power of any man, lawyer, or
sutton, at may be, to put an end to
his tenure of office 1t is against public
policy that judge should occupy his
office at the Judgment of another man.
He asked if Judge Norwood (who,
his friends claim, is. not now per
forming the duties of judge could
throw himself in a comatose state until
the Representatives of the people go
home.
Various phases of the matter We're dis
cussed by other members of the COM
mittee, but the hour being too Late for
a vote, the committee adjourned.
From the expressions of various mem
bers of the committee it is pretty evident
that the members feel sympathy for
Judge Norwood-that he has been weak
and not vicious-but at the same time
that as he seems unable 10 control his
infirmity, a duty rests upon this
Legislature to see to it that the Judiciary
shall command the respect of the people
and that those who cannot keep sober
while performing the duties of their
judgeship shall not sit on the bench

TO CONSOLIDATE ROADS
The SEAB0ARD AIR LINE TO BECOME A
COMPACT SYSTEM.
The Burnt Shops in Raleigh to be Rebuilt by
The New Management, bis is Gotd
News for Raleigh.

A bill has ben prepared and will be
introduced in the General Assembly to-
day to amend the charter of the Raleigh
and CASTOR Railroad Company and au-
thori2e it to consolidate with the Sea-
board and Roanoke and other companies
composing the Seaboard Airline, the
effect of which will be to consolidate all
of these roads and domesticate them
as one corporation under the charter
Of the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad
Company.
The rights of minority stockholders
seem to be fully protected, by requiring
the payment to them, if they do not
desire to go into the new arrangement
of the full value of their stock.
Thus, the Raleigh and CASTOR Rail
road Company is to be made the one
corporation: al others to be merged into
it.
The advantages to Raleigh in this new
arrangement may beareadily seen, as it
is purely a North Carolina corporation
with its principal place Of business in
Raleigh.
we uuueTStdHu lHdL diiutf the new
management orders have already been
issued for the rebuilding of the burned
shops at this place; thus cnsuring the
continuance of the shops and enlarge
ment of the same here.
We may reasonably look for much
good to Raleigh and North Carolina in
consequence Of the recent change in the
control and management of the Seaboard
Airline

They decided it in favor of Scotland.
Only two members-Messrs. Wall. of
Richmond, and Leak, of Anson.-voted
against it. They gave notice that they
would present a minority report to the
House.
The only speech made before the COM
mittee yesterday was by MIR Wall. It
was strong argument, enIivened by
many bright sales of Scotch wit.
None of them, however, were better
than the resolution read by Mr.. Wall at
the conclusion of his remarks.
We're he managing this fight for Scot
land, he said he would not come 10
the Legislature with such a bill as Mr..
Mclean had introduced. but he would
come with some such resolution as the
following:
Whereas, Laurinburg already en-
joys the pre-eminence Of being the lead
sing village of Richmond county, and
whereas, she aspires to the dignity OF
a metropolitan town, possessing qualifi-
cations of push and enterprise that en-
titles her to such dignity and +
Whereas, her progress toward that
end is too slow by natural means of de-
velopment, therefore
Resolved, that the General Assembly
recognizing the claim presented by her
ardent promoters and DESTROYS of lending
a helping hand in her advancement,
hereby do enact that the said village
shall be a metropolitan town; and to
that end, inasmuch as a new county
is a necessary prerequisite to a metro
politan town.
Resolved further that the General
Assembly hereby grants the new county
asked for; provided, however, that the
county site of said new county shall
be located within one mile of the center
Of Lanrnbnrg' and nowhere else.n

Detective Murphy's dream led him off
in another direction altogether. posi-
bly, to road house, and that his going
to the 1sele shaft was a dream pure and
simple. Any Of these things might, of
course be the case, for dreams are so
unreliable there is no putting any de-
pendence in any of them but Detective
Murphy's friends decline to accept the
last theory, whatever foundation there
might be fer the other theoretical eX-

The case recalls good story of a
similar murder mystery which once agi-
tated the authorities OF Colorado town.

a parallel case. Old Bill Thompson vas

bottom of an abandoned shaft which
was filled with water Bill did not have

getting the pumping done for him. He
killed a dog and sIneared the blood
around th'. collar of the shaft. Then he
dumped Tie carcass in the shaft and
reported to the authorities a mysterious
find, doubtless the discovery of a muir
der. The authorities became alarmed
and excitement in the community ran
high. The authorities ordered the shaft
pumped out and Bill was on hand to be
the first to go down. There was great
relief when he reported finding the dog.
Bill attained his object and made his
examination.
