THE SEABOARD AIR LINE.
Tracklaying on the Richmond, Peters,
burg & Carolina CompIeted-Two
Big Orders Given for Locomotives.

From the Norfolk Ilrginian and
Pilot we take the following:
The laying of the track of the Rich
mond, Petersburg and Carolina rail
road-the Northern division of the
Seaboard Air Line System-from
Petersburg to- Ridgeway, was COM
pleted yesterday. But little work
remains to be done on the Meherrin
bridge before that line, seventy-seven
miles in length. can be opened the
entire length for traffic.
Work is being pushed forward with
all possible energy and haste. The
company is having the temporary
trestle here built under it's own direc-
ton. instead of letting it to contract.
President Williams said last night
that trains would almost certainly
be running into Richmond by the end
Of January.
I'VE are making excellent progress
on our South Carolina Division, too, -
said Mr.. Williams, land that will be
open from Columbia to Cheraw by
the first of the year. This division
is ninety miles in length. The rails
have been laid for twenty-five miles,
and the work is going forward
nicely"
BIG ORDER FOR ENGINES.
Orders were given yesterday for
the construction of twenty-five more
locomotives for the Seaboard Air
Line system.
This makes the total number of
engines now building. or to be built
at once. for the Seaboard. fifty. orders
for twenty-five having been given
Monday. This is probably the largest
order for locomotives ever contracted
for by Southern road at one time.
The deliveries of the engines will
begin in April. and that of the cars
IN February. The twenty-five engines
ordered from the Richmond Locomo-
tive and Machine Works are ten
wheel freight moguls. Twenty of
those ordered Yesterday are to be

LET US RETURN TO THE OLD
WAYS.

The GOLD LEAF is not among those
who live only in the past but some
times it is well to cling to the old
WAYS. And in no way can we profit
more than to do IS our fathers did
in many things. For instance: Not
many years ago our people not only
raised their own supplies Of bread
and meat but they had such things
to sell in large quantities. AT one
time Henderson was large ship
ping point for wheat. Thousands
OF bushels were shipped from here
every wear. How is it now? Instead
Of being shippers we are buyers.
800, 900 is sent from Vance county
every year for things OF this kind
products our people ought to raise at
home.
Can there be a prosperous condition
of affairs existing among the farming
classes under such regime as this?
The GOLD LEAF frankly and en-
phatically says.no. We repeat, 1T IS
the man who makes his own supplies
at home.-his meat and bread, his
fertilizers, &c, who is the success
full farmer Strike a man OF this sort
and you will find a prosperous one
regardless of the price of cotton or
tobacco, or who or by what circum-
stances it is fixed.
Commercial fertilizers are going to
be higher next year Indeed, prices
have already advanced it be-
hooves our farmer friends. to rely
more upon other methods Of enrich
ing the soil and growing their crops.
1t will not do to depend entirely
upon bought fertilizers no matter
whether the price be high or low.
And now is the to time prepare to do
with less. A word OF warming and
friendly admonition which we trust
will be laid to heart and acted upon
by those for whom it is meant.

DEATH OF LIEUT.. BRUr1BY.

Lieut.. Thomas NJ. Brumby, Ad-
miral Dewey's trusted flag lieuten-
ant in the Manila campaign, is dead.
Announcement had been made Of his
critical sickness of typhoid fever in
Washington and the end came Sun
day afternoon. OF him the Atlanta
Constitution says:
IT is but a few weeks since that
the gallant naval officer stood in the
capitol of our State to receive a
sword of honor, which was presented
to him as an evidence of the appre-
citation of his fellow citizens. Now,
almost before the applause of that
occasion has passed away, the princi-
pal in the scene is removed from the
midst of men and we have but his
memory left.
The career of Lieuntenant Brumby
was distinguished one. Coming OF
a high-spirited family, he inherited
the warlike instinct, and yet he was
singularly modest and shrinking.
He was among the first of young
Southern men in the era of restored
fraternal relations to buckle on the
armor of his reunited country and
thus contributed in welding the links
of union for the future. Later on it
became his privilege, in prominent
station, to extend the glory of his
country. Admiral Dewey has freely
stated that the plan of the battle Of
Manila belonged to the young
Geoagian. With subj record a
great future was before him, but
now he has kassed beyond, leaving
country and his friends.

INFORMATION from the Philippines
indicates that the war is on its last
legs. The backbone of the insur-
rection is broken, Aguinaldo has
been practically deserted and our
troops are only engaged in skirm-
ish now and then in a sort of guerrilla
warfare with detached bands OF In
surpents. At least that is what the
cable dispatches say. As to the true
condition Of things there is still
doubt in the public mind, however
IN the death Of Mr.. S. l.. (.Manse')
Hart. at his home near Rocky
Mount on the 18th inst, Edgecombe
county and the State have lost a
valuable and useful citizen. He was
large and successful farmer and a
man Of good judgment and discre-
ton in business and public affairs.
Mr. Hart was a member OF the
Legis lature, of which body he was
AN active and useful member. A
special to the Raleigh News and o.
serrcr says:
1T was mainly due to his efforts
that the State Guard received the
large appropriation from the Legisla-
ture for its support. He was also a
member Of the committee appointed
by the Legislature to select plans for
the Vance monument and to choose
a place for it's location. He was at
one time captain OF the Rocky Mount
company, and for long time mem

lNFAMY.

A great many Of us have believed
that of the two senators which our
old State has at the national capitol,
the four square Republican was the
better. While this one has been
looked upon in no worse a light than
an extreme partisan, the other has
been universally regarded as rem
egade. This by way Of preface to
an act which Senator Pritchard has
just perpetrated. He has introduced
resolution in the Senate, and will
seek to have it passed, declaring that
the proposed North Carolina constitu-
tional amendment is unconstitutional,
in these words:
RESOLVED, That section OF the proposed
amendment is in cOntraventiOn OF the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to
the constitution of the United States,
and that any State that adopts said
provision rs a part OF its organic law
does not possess a Republican form OF
government us contemplated by the con-
stltution of the United States.
Senator Pritchard seeks to prosti-
tute the time and influence of the
senate Of the United States just now
bearing as large burden as it is
capable in the weighty business of
the nation, not only to miserable par
tisan ends, but as means of stabbing
his own State and people in manner
as mean as that of the assassin who
Yields the dagger in the dark, be-
cause in the senate he has great in
tluence and the people of North Car
DINA have none. BY this action Sen
ator Pritchard places himself upon
the level OF his colleague.

JEFFRIEs OFF FOR EUROPE.
Friends of the Big Pugilist Give Him
a Henrty Scnd-O6.

u htnrtt Senu-ou
New York. July 27.-Champiou JefTries
received great send-off this morning as
he sailed for Europe on the Fuerst Bis
marck. The big pugilist left the Wander
bilt Hotel a little after O'Clock in a car
riage and reached Hoboken about O'clock
The party were his brother Charley and
Ross O'Neil, who sailed with him. Fred
Bert and Sam Thall, who had been dele
gated by Billy Brady TO attend to Jeffries'
departure, arrived at the dock quite early.
They hastily fixed up the champions
stateroom on the deck. Many floral trib-
utes which were sent by friends relieved
the monotony of the room. One, star or
hope, with an anchor made from mignon-
cites and bluebells running through the
centre, adorned a conspicuous part OF :Ae
pugilists quarters. Jeffries was particu-
larly proud of this token ,as it was the
gift of his father and mother.
Owing to the fact that the ship was
crowded with passengers and the room on
board was limited, the company allowed the
champion to occupy the chief engineers
stateroom. When Jim alighted from his
carriage he found the vehicle surrounded
by surging mass OF humanity and IL took
the police TO get him on board. Several
woman acquaintance outdid each other in
their efforts to kiss and hug him. One
woman particularly occupied the attention
of the champion over all others. She was
said TO be Jim's sweetheart. Although sne
knew ther crowd was staring at her. she
boldly encircled her arms about the big
fellows neck and kissed him. Good luck
TO you, Jim.' she cried, ''and don't forget
to lick Charley Mitchell and Jem Smith for
me, eh?' She was last seen waving her
handkerchief as the ship pulled out OF the
dock.
After his arrival in London Jeffries will
make his first appearance at the Aquarium.
He will show there for two weeks. After
that he will make the rounds of the music
| halls and then he will go to Paris. and
from there he will visit Ireland, Scotland,
and Wales, where he will meet all comers.
AT 2 o'clock this afternoon Brady's repre-
sentative paid visit to Al Smith, and gave
him certified check Sor $500, drawn on
| the Mutual Bank, of this city. and made
payable to Smith. Smith waited until 6
o'clock p. m, to hear from O'Rourk. At
| that hour Joe Macias, Secretary of the Len
OK Athletic Club. strolled into the Gilsey
House, and gave Smith $4,000 in the shape
