THE SEABOARD SYSTEn.

Seldom in the history of the South
has great railroad system been
formed so quickly as has the Seaboard
Air Line.
Within few months it has grown
from single line extending from
Atlanta to Portsmouth into one Of the
largest railroad systems in this sec
ton. It's lines extend from Rich
mond to Tampa and will soon reach
Washington.
Moreover, every one OF these lines
passes through a fine region and one
that is rapidly developing.
The Greater Seaboard Air Line will
be powerful factor in the develop
ment of the South, and Georgia Will
not be the least of its benefciaries.
Mr.. John SHELTON Williams, the
founder of this system and its presi-
dent, has proved himself one Of the
ablest and boldest tinanciers in the
South. He is yet a young man, but
he is one to be reckoned with in the
railroad world Atlanta Journal.

Are You One of Them?

a great deal of unhappiness is
caused by people who pry into the
affairs of others and who maliciously
repeat and enlarge upon little scraps
of information they receive concern
ing the private affairs of friends and
neighbors. These people are formi-
dable because their mode of speech
bears the stamp of sincerity. They
usually approach the subject in a
hesitating, round about way, as if
loath+o give expression to words that
can hardly fail to injure the charac-
ter of those whose absence renders
them defenceless. 1t is not a part
of their policy to give the maligned
party the shadow of q chance to
trace the unfriendly and oftimes vi
cious accusations that are so blight
ing in their effects upon a sensitive
nature. -Erchanqe

SPEAKING MONDAY NIGHT.
Insurance Commissioner Young and
Solicitor Moore Address a Large and
Enthusiastic Crowd at the Court
House,

In response to announcements that
MIR. James r. Young, Insurance Com
missioner, and others would speak,
there was quite large crowd at the
court house Monday night.
Mr.. j. II. Bridgers, President of the
White Supremacy Club, first intro
duced Mr.. Larry l. Moore, of Pitt.
solicitor for this district, who spoke
briefly but pointedly on the Constitu-
tional amendment. He made stir
ring speech and was warmly APP
plauded. 1t was the first opportunity
our people had had of hearing Mr.
Moore speak on political issues, and
he we'll sustained the reputation he
had made as brilliant and able
advocate before jury.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Moore's
speech there were loud and vociferous
calls for Young" Young" and
when this popular son of Vance took
the stand he met with a most cordial
reception. Mr.. Young is an easy and
graceful speaker and was perfectly
conversant with and full of his sub
Ject in discussing the amendment.
He made ringing speech and reused
his audience to the highest pitch of
enthusiasm.
Mr.. Young touched upon the
amendment in its various phases, dis
cussed its more salient points some
what at length, and submitted three
propositions. First, this is white
mans country and every part of it
should be controlled and governed by
white men. Is there white man
who does not agree with that prop
osition? If there is one | want him
to speak out" said the speaker. Paus-
ing awhile he stated as the second
proposition: The white men COM
pose the Democratic party and the
larger proportion of the white men in
North Carolina belong to the Demo-
cratic party. This being true it is
absurd to talk about illiterate white
men being disfranchised by the
amendment" Proposition third:
There is as much ability, as much
honesty, as much integrity, as much
any other class
Admitting the truth of this Mr.
Young went on to show why it was
that the white men should rule and
why the negro should not. He quoted
from speech of Stephen A. Douglass,
who in 1858 in debate with Mr.. Lin
coin at Alton, H., said:
II hold that the signers of the
Declaration Of Independence had no
reference to negroes at all when they
declared all men to be free and equal
etc.
''They were speaking of white men.
They alluded to men of European
birth and European descent-to white
men and to none others when they
declared that doctrine. | hold that
the. government was established on
the white basis. 1t was established
by white men for the benefit of white
men and their posterity forever and
should be administered by white men
and none Others
Mr.. Young spoke little over one
hour and quarter and was given the
strictest attention throughout. He
made fOrceful and what proved to
be a winning speech, and created
much enthusiasm.

Testing Of Newspaper Advertising.

Frank Daniels, a popular New York
comedian, made an experiment recently
at Nallack's theatre in that city to test
the value of different modes Of advertis-
ing. He says: Between the acts the
ushers distributed among the audience
slips with brief printed statement po-
litely asking the recipient to indicate by
a check mark in the list of various adver-
Using forms employed which one had at
tracted him to the performance-news-
papers, bill boards, window autographs
or something else. The people seemed to
take kindly to the idea aud the responses
were most liberal. Eleven hundred slips
were handed to the ushers, and OF that
number 991 had been attracted by the
newspapers solely .'-Eschange
And yet now and then you will hear
some "smart alec" who never wrote
a three-line advertisement or invested
a dollar in printsrs' ink in his life,
give it as his opinion that advertising
doesn't pay. This too in the face Of
the experience and practice of the
most successful business men of the
age. Does any one suppose John
Wanamaker, Seigel, Cooper & Co., G.
l. Hood & Co., DR.. j. c. Aver & Co.,
the Royal Baking Powder people and
hundreds of other concerns would
spend 100000 or more each, in news
paper advertising annually, if it did
not pay them?
