our people in every section.
9Th. He has had wide experience as a
business man, has an extensive acquaint
ance with the industrial, educational and
political leaders of the country and has
long had reputation for strict integrity
and progressive methods among the lead
ing men of the State and nation.
1--WE remember very distinctly that
when Greensboro Female College had
reached a crisis in its history, Rev. N.
Fl. D. WILSON, who had for years carried
its financial burdens and at last fell I'M
der the weight, called to see us and said
Il can do nothing more; if possible, save
the college to the church. Out of our
meager salary we took sufficient money
to visit the principal towns of the State
in order to lay the facts before our
men of wealth 1t is but truth to say
that in our opinion but for the financial
aid offered by Messrs. e. J. and Henry
Lilly, of Fayetteville and Julian S. Carr,
of Durham, the college would have been
lost entirely to the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South Colonel Carr attended
the sale in person and with him as presi-
dent, we organized joint stock company
that purchased and has since owned and
operated the college.
For these reasons we think General
Carr would worthily represent the State
of North Carolina in the United States
Senate, and we give him our hearty en-
dorsement purely on the ground of rec
ognized merit.
| noticed yesterday in your paper let
ter from the venerable and successful
Baptist evangelist, Rev DR.. F. M. Jor-
dan, a strong endorsement of General
Carr's candidacy. These gentlemen voice
the views of most Of the educational and
religious leaders of all the churches in
the State, as we'll as of many Of the
business and professional men. | do
not doubt that such endorsement will
have great weight with the voters when
they come to deposit their ballot for
Senator in November.

CARP For SENATOR.

To the Editor want to call the atten-
tion of the people of North Carolina to
the fact that the business men of the
State have an opportunity to be repre-
scented IN the United States Senate.
North Carolina is the foremost Industrial
State of the South, and is developing her
resources in building factories every
year. In this age of industrial progress,
it is important that North Carolina should
be represented in the United States Sen
ate by a business man, provided he is
otherwise we'll fitted. l therefore desire
to endorse the candidacy of Gen. Julian S.
Carr FOR the United States Senate. In
my opinion. he is better fitted to repre-
sent the State in the United States Senate
at this time than any other man. Our
party has nominated nine eminent law
yers to represent the nine different dis
tricts IN the House. | am personally
acquainted with several of these gen
Element. and l know them to be men of
good ability and believe they will we'll
represent the State in that branch of
Congress. But the very, fact that
the business interests of North Carolina
are not represented in the House, makes
it all the more important for us to elect
a business man United States Senator
General Carr is identified with the indus
trial enterprises of the State. and also
with the agricultural interests. He has
the ability and character to make q
worthy United States Senator, and l APP
peal to the people. of the State to stand by
him. Yours truly,
H. G. CHATHAM.

POST PARCEL SYSTEM.
Railroad Official Favors Abolishing
Express Companies.


II am heartily in favor of the adop-
ton by this government of the parcel
post system" said the vice president of
one of the leading western railroads the
other day to a Times Herald man. L
have long regarded the express COM
panies as unnecessary middlemen. To
me there seems no good reason why
the railroads should not do a large
share of the business which now is done
through the express companies, and L
believe the government should assume
the other work done by the express
companies. Millions of dollars would
be saved annually to the public If the
express companies were done away
with, and l do not believe the revenues
of the railroads would be decreased
Some of. the railroads operate their
own express service and do it sue
cessfuily. There would be no deterior-
alton in the service if all railroads
were to assume charge of express traf-
fic directly. OF course, the railroads
get good rates on the business done
for the express companies, but the
public has to pay an unnecessary IN
crease in rates to the express compan-
les. The express companies try to
hammer down our rates and increase
their rates to the public whenever pos
sible. Those great corporations manag-
ed to evade the intent Of the trainers
of the revenue bill, to make them pay
| a fair share of the war taxes, and
forced the public to pay the stamp tax.
One reason, perhaps, why the railroad
managers do not try to dispense with
the express companies is because II
does not pay them anything for ex-
! press service. Every railroad official
of Importance has q frank which VIII
carry free all his personal packages by
| express. Some railroad men own con-
siderable stock in the express com
panies, and they alone know the price
/ they Daid@f that stock. 1t is doubt
| full whether the government will ever
own all the railroads, but ne establish
ment of a parcel post is only a queS-
! ton of time"

FORT STEELE CUTOFF.
Necessitates New Bridge Over North
Platte River.
Especial to The Herald.)

tSDSCldl 10 Inc HeTd1O.J
Laramie, Wyo., Aug. 25.-Work has
commenced on the Fort Steele cutoff
of the Union Pacific The cutoff will
be about two miles long, one-half of 1T
being east of the town of Fort Steele
and the other half on the west side.
While not over fifty feet in distance
will be saved, the new line Will 90
away with one of the worst grades be
tween Laramie and Rawlins. The cut
off will necessitate the building Of a
new steel bridge over the North Platte
river at a point about 100 feet below
the present structure. With the pres
ent steep gradeSwest of Fort Steele
trains are frequently compelled to back
down onto the flats east of town and
get a start before they can climb the
grade, but with the cutoff all of this
unnecessary work will be done away
with.
In the vicinity of WaIcott, just east
of Fort Steele, other expensive i'm
provements have been begun. The old
tunnel near Walcott will be abandoned
and a new one is being constructed.
Many of the dangerous curves in that
vicinity will be eradicated. Four or
five miles of track east of Fort Steele
are known as perhaps the most danger
GUS on the system because of the many
harpscurves in deep and narrow cuts.
There was disastrous passenger train
wreck here a year ago. and the man
agenent desires to make the road
safer. The new work there will &C
cUmplish this by making the line
straighter.
Resident Engineer Dunlap is author
ity for the statement that the Sherman
ii,i tunnel will be ready for traffic on
len /. 1901. It has been known Tor
some time that the grade would be
completed before this time, but not
until few days ago did President Burt
report that the rails had been secured.
Citizens are discussing the advisable
ity of making some arrangement with
the Union Pacific to have built a via
duct on Fremont street or Grand ave-
nue.. The crossings on these streets are
blocked more or less at all times of
the day or night, and viaduct is an
absolute necessity.

HEARD AND SEEN
IN TIMMONY'S COURT

The star case in police court yester-
day afternoon was that of Junius
Fullmer and Yalmer Hogenson, who
were charged with assaulting Axel
Saline. The three principals and a good
portion of the population of north Salt
Lake appeared at court prepared to
fight the case to a finish.
Saline testified that as he and his
son started to work Friday morning
Fullmer accosted them on the street
and began TO call him a liar and
threatened to have him placed under
bonds TO keep the peace According TO
Saline, HOgensOn then came running
out of his place and throwing his coat
off he attacked him with his fists and
hit him in the face. Two witnesses
testified that HogenSOn struck Saline,
buC did not see Fullmer do anything
HOgenson declared that Saline and
MS son were coming upon his place
and he warned them to keep off. They
did not do it and he started after them.
The defendant, however, testified that
Saline struck at him with his dinner
bucket and he warded the blow off, but
did not hit Saline
The judge said from the evidence that
II was clear that there was no case
against Fullmer and as there was con-
siderable doubt about Hogenson he
would give the latter the benefit of the
doubt and discharged him.
Irs. Saline, who was very much
worked up over the case was seized
with fit of Mysteries at the close of
the case and it was necessary TO call
in DR.. Kerr to attend her When the
doctor arrived he administered some
thing to quiet her nerves and she was
soon able TO go home.

whole duty, and to resist the pressure
brought to bear upon men in high
positions to revive them from a sin
gle minded devotion to the interests of
the people.
Recognizing that public Office is a
public trust, and that the selection or
officers is an object lesson to those
growing citizens, the boys and girls.
we ask our party to present no candi-
dates for our SURFACES except s,sch as
have a good reputation for intelli-
gence, honesty, temperance, social
honor, efficiency and fairness, if they
would command our undivided sup
port.
1--WE resent the intimation that in
spite of equal suffrage the women of
Utah remain political nonentities.
Still more deeply do we resent the
intimation that as women we are dis
loyal to one another in political mat
te-s.
Believing that as Democratic voters
we share the responsibility for such
losses or gains as the party may ex-
perence, we expect visible recognition
of the joint responsibility by contin-
ued representation on the party ticket.
We expect this the more confidently
on account of the fine record our wo-
men officials have made.
I'VE protest against discrimination
in salary on account of sex, but where
labor and responsibility are equal we
contend for equal COMPENSATION.
In conclusion, we hope for our party
principles what we shall ZealOusly
strive to win-comolete and deserved
victory"
Attorney d. D. Houtz and District
Attorney Sam King are avOwed candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination
for district attorney Mr.. Houtz de-
sires the office because he is an ex-
perienced attorney, and thinks he can
fill the place with credit. Then he has
never been in public Office, and he
would like to know how. it seems to
work for the state.
Sam feels that his hard and success
full work for the district during the
time he has served the people as pros
ecutor under Governor Wells appoint
ment has earned him the place on the
ticket. Nobody can even guess which
of the two will win, but either of them
! will fill the bill.
