FALSE RU1OR.

The rumor recently published to
the effect that General Passenger
Agent W. a. Turk. of the Southern
Railway, was to retire from that
position. and would be succeeded by
Mr.. George w. Bovd. OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad, is officially denied.
Friends of Col. Turk are glad To
know there is no foundation for such
report. He is one of the most eN-
ccllent and popular officials con-
nected with any road and his retire
ment would be cause of sincere re-
greet. As the Concord Times saws:
Mr. Turk is recognized everywhere a.
one of the most competent passenger
agents in the whole country. and he
is the active head of the passenger
traffic of one of our very largest and
most important railway systems
MIR. Boyd himself says of Mr.. Turk:
The Southern Railway Company has
thoroughly competent man in Gen
eral Passenger Turk. He is capable
one. and is held in high esteem bv all
railroad men"

eleventh session Wednesday, September
LIST, 1899, with an addition of an i'm
portant department. A course of in
structiOn in Textile Industry, which is
attaining n phenomenal growth in this
State and throughout the South, and
which requires specially prepared and
skilled superintendent for its various
branches, has been added.
Hitherto it has been necessary to get
such help from the New England Cotton
Mill districts. or elsewhere, but now an
opportunity is to be given the youths OF
this State to acquire the skill and knowl-
edge requisite to fill these positions
This College has already attained an
enviable reputation for turning out
graduates of highest excellence in the
various branches taught, and they are
filling positions of trust which require
skill and technical education The de-
mand for persons so educated is far in
excess of supply.
We advise any young man to seriously
consider taking 4 course in this institu-

THE i'm CROW CAR AGAIN.

4 Seaboard Air Line official, refer
ring to the paragraph IN yesterday
paper from the Sentinel about the
excellent working Of the jim Crow
car law on the Atlantic Coast Line,
directs our attention to the fact that
the arrangement is almost exactly
the same On the ScabOard Air Line,
viz: All the whites are put in one
car and all the blacks in another.
This Is undoubtedly as it should be
first and sccOud-class white passen-
~er- in the one car: first and second
class colored passengers in another
Then it does not matter il there is an
overflow from the tirst-cIass COM
partme to the Charlotte w.
Serrer.
The Atlantic Coast Lines arrange
mcnt, referred to above, i one first
class and one scc0nd-class car for
white. and one car divided into first
and secOnd-cla-s for cOlOred. This,
we submit, is in every preferable TO
the plan stated by the Seaboard
official to be in operation on his line,
nent Of the Southern. 1t will be
seen that the Scaboard plan provides
equal room for whites and cOlOrcd
and we imagine that the whites are
frequently crowded, while there is
always room to spare in the colored
sections. The Atlantic Coast Line :
arrangement sets apart two-thlrds Of
its space for whites and onc-third for
cOiored, which is much nearer the
relative proportion OF travel than an
equal division. We believe this is
the ideal plan and viii be insisted
