known and popular young man of
this city, has accepted position
at Walker Bros Clothing store,
and is ready to meet his host of
friends in his new home. Mr..
Forlow is no stranger to the busi-

large and choice stock of goods
from which to select, there is rea-
son to believe his influence will be
felt in a business sense.

WILL wYNNE STILL INyENTING
A Labor-Saving Device in the Inter
State Telephone Office.

Manager Will Wynne, of the Inter
state Telephone Company has invented
an ingenious arrangement, whereby he
has increased the efficiency of the e1-
cellent service given by his exchange.
The telephones most used in the city are
those III the railroad offices. They are
used five times as much as any other.
In fact they are practically in contin-
nous use. 1t is therefore difficult by
the ordinary methods for the operator
without interfering with the service
given other phones, to tell when these
railroad phones are in use.
To obviate this difficulty Mr.. Wynne
has so arranged it that as soon as the
Seaboard Air Line phone receiver is
taken up for use an electric light on
the exchange burns. When the receiver
is hung up the light goes out. The
Southern Railways light is red. Thus
the operator knows at a glance whether
or not the phones are in use. Once You
see the complicated exchange that the
five pretty girls III the central office
have to attend to you will appre
ciate the Importance OF Mr.. Wynne's
invention.

WILL IT BE DECLARED ?
THE MULLET ROAD is IN NEED
OF IMPROVEMENTS.
AND THE GOVERNOR WANTS TIL M MADE
Patrick Argues That to Pass the Dividend
Would Destroy the Success Of His
Administration of the
Roads Affairs.
Roads Affairs.

For several years now the manage
ment of the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad has declared an annual diyi-
dend of 2 per cent. on the stock.
Whether or not this will be done this
year is a question.
President Patrick and his friends say
do it.
Governor Russell and those that are
to succeed Patrick say don't.
And on this rock it looks as if His
Excellency and Mr.. Patrick will split
The Governor argues that the road
needs new rolling stock-not so much
to replace the old rolling stock as to
supplement it and accommodate the in
creased business of the road. Some Of
the bridges need repair and the road
bed could be improved. A lot for a
new warehouse has been bought at
Newbern and the building will be costly.
OF course, to all these things the IN
coming administration says amen, it be-
ing to its interest to have the road come
into its hands in the best condition pos
sible.
Patrick, on the other hand, argues that
these improvements are not needed inn
mediafely; that from the Increased
traffic on the road should come increased
profits enough to provide for any addi-
tional equipment that may be required.
Not tc allow him to issue the dividend,
he says, would be to stamp his admins
tration a failure, especially with the
stockholders. He adds that he took the
road under the greatest disadvantages,
and with hard work has built up the
business, kept the road in good repair
and saved enough money for the per
cent. dividend.
These are the arguments that Pat
rick's friends are using. for Patrick him.

it is said, come here and have it out
with the Governor His term Of office
expires. the latter part of September, and
if the dividend is declared at all it must
be done within the next month.
The usual time for declaring this divi-
dned is already past. In 1897 the diyi-
dend was declared in March, and in 1898
it was in July The dividend last year
was only / per cent, being cut down
half on account of having to replace the
bridge at Newbern, which had been
burned.

this it receives, when a 2 per cent divi-
