RAILROAD MONOPOLY.

The people of all the South Atlantic
States have viewed with qualification
the organization Of three strong railroad
systems connecting New York with
Tampa. The Southern Railway running
through Piedmont, North Carolina, the
Seaboard through the Central and the
.Atantic Coast Line running through the
Eastern section of the State promised
TO give adequate through facilities, in
suring at least some measure of COM
petition.
The reorganization and constellation
OF the Seaboard system, which WIS to be
completed this month. has met the pow
crful opposition Of the Southern Rail-
way in every conceivable way, culmin-
ating in the panic in New York en- Mon
day when the Produce ExchangA Trust
Company, one of the syndicate financing
the Seaboard Air LINE consolidation, was
forced to the wall.
The interest Raleigh and North Caro-

of roads and would regard it as a great
calamity to see either one swallow the
other. For that reason the people of
North Carolina hope the delay caused
by the Ryan litigation and other hostile
efforts will not be able to prevent the
consolidation of the Seaboard system.
1t promises to aid greatly in Southern
development and as a compact system
under the present progressive manage
ment il will be one of the greatest agen-
cies in the prosperity of the South At
lantic States. 1t is gratifying to be as
sured by President Williams ard Vice
President st. John that the recent events
will not prevent the realization Of the
great idea which has dominated them
and other progressive business man.

4 SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty Five Years Constant Use
Without a Failure.

The first indication of Group is hoarse-
ness. and in a child subject to that dis
ease it may be taken as a sure sign of
the approach of an attack. Following
this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough.
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
as soon as the child becomes no sc, or
even after the croupy cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. 1t is used in
many thousands of homes in this broad
land and never disappoints the anxious
mothers. We have yet to learn of a
single instance in which it has not
proved effectual. No other preparation
can show such record-twenty-fve
years constant use without a failure.

PRITCHARD FOR VICE-PREs.
IDENT.

A few days ago, after Warren Vines
Hall and few other North Carolina
offeerseekers reached Washington in
search Of job, boom was launched
for Senator Pritchard for Vice-President.
The papers all printed it but nobody
took it seriously in North Caro- ina ex-
cept the Caucasian which proceeds to
endorse it saying:
I'VE notice that Senator J. C. Pitch
ard is being prominently mentioned for
the second place ON the Republican presi-
Dental ticket with Mckinley next year.
1t is high time that the South as rep
resented on tickets Of all parties. and
surely the Republican party could not
do better than TO name the senior Sena-
tor from North Carolina FOR seco1d place
ON their ticket"
In 1897 when Senator Pr.tcherl was
seeking to be reelected to the Senate
the Caucasian said:
IF Mr. Pritchard, who is not silver
man, is reelected it will be by dishon-
est methods, and a chasm viii be created
and no bridge can be built across it,
The Caucasian has gone over to the
Republican camp horse, foot and
dragoon-and is following wherever
Pritchard leads. Can it carry the hon
est Populists? It tried its level best to
make them vote for Negro Rule in 1898
and failed. 1t is trying the sane thing
again ard win fail again. White folks
will vote white in North Carolina in
1900

Importance of the Egg.

From th, Louisville Courier-Journal.
The egg famine deserves to be classed
as one of the most serious results of the
long protracted cold wave. The financial
losses have been considerable, to say
nothing of the inconveniences of depriv-
ing the population Of this staple article
of food Some years ago Edward Atkin-
son attempted to arrive at the value of
the annual egg crop, with the result that
he found 1t more important than either
the leaf tobacco, the barley. rye. rics or
many other notable products of American
farms. Abundant as is the yield of eggs
and low as is the price, he estimates the
annual value at $40,000.O00 to $50 1000. 600
which Is more than double ths worth OF
ordinary crops of barley or tobacco and
many times the value of rye and buck
wheat crops

From the st. Louis Republic.
along the coast region southeast from
Yakutat bay, between the beach and the
st. Elias Alps, lies most remarkable tract
in Alaska remarked G. w. Stephens of
Seattle recently.
Il went ashore at this bay during a sum-
mer trip to Juneau a few years ago, and
found veritable wonderland that can fur
nish a large amount Of material for mu-
seums. Naturalists will there find many
interesting problems to solve. That section
of the country is mostly low, sandy fat,
almost bare next to the coast but covered
profusely nearer the foothills with growth
of timber and brush, amidst the lakes,
swamps and glades Grass grows luxuri-
antly, as there is an annual flood. In the
summer season the game comes down out
OF the mountains and browSes on the vege
a tation In those low flats Some of the bears
are of immense size. But 1 saw no deer
of any kind. Skeletons of some gigantic
animal that lived ages ago are found in a
good state Of preservation in some of these
long, low flats. Jawbones twelve inches
in diameter and three feet in length have
been found there. Ribs sixteen feet long
have been eXhumed. That animal must
have been monster.
But the most wonderful things are seen
in the mirages during the days and twi-
lights Over this waste of sand. mud and
gravel are scattered stranded trees, logs,
stumps and snags. The mirages produce
enhancing pictures of mimic lakes and
water courses fringed with vegetation mir
rored upon the surface. while the grassy
mounds, stumps, trees, logs and roots which
have an actual existence are distorted and
magnified into the shapes of ungainly ami
mails and reptiles of enormous proportions.
The fogs and mists from the sea are driven
across these wastes by the winds, and as
the objects I have mentioned loom up in
the flying vapors they appear to be living
creatures moving rapidly across the land
at times. at other times flying through the
air and again plunging through the sea at
terrific rate of speed while huge break
ers roll over them and dash them against
the mountains. One scarcely knows which
