SMALLPOX AT UNIVERSITY.

Mr.. J r. Paddison, of NJ Airy, q
medical student at the State Univer-

definite case of smallpox, He vas uE-

IN NJ. Airy during a visit to his home.

disease is contagious until after the

Pre-Ident Alderman saws:

Chapel HILL has ordered compulsory
vaccination.
10 the judgment OF the ply sicians,
the common-sense thing to do. as well
as the safest thing to do, is for the
students to remain &C the U diversity

CORPORATION COMMISSION CAN
TAX RAILROADS.

Judge Simonton Reverses himself on
his Point 6ecauss He IS Compelled to
Follow the : ecision of the state Courts
in Matters of Local law
Judge SImonton on Friday, IL ii,
fled with the CLERK of the UnIted
States Circuit court here a decision in
the Railroad Tax case, which was
argued at Asheville in September and
reheard ct Charleston about a month
ago.
In his first decision Judge Simonton
held that the Corporation Commission
had no power, under the Law, to tax
the railroad property of the State.
Soon after that decision was render
ed, the Supreme Court of North Caro-
lima DECIDED the Abbott gfeld
case in which exactly the opposite
opinion was expressed,
~Thereupon Judge SImonton granted
a re-hearing of the matter on the
ground that a Federal court is bound
to accept a States construction of it's
own statue
And the decision rendered yesterday
is based on this prIncIDle. Judge
Simon on therefore rect des from bis
former ruling and declares that ''the
decision OF the court of last resort In
North Carolina, as to the force and
eff CT of It's own statutes, on a matter
of local law, is obligatory on the Fed
erRl court"
JICge Simonton then gees on to re
cite the equities in the case, and ap-
points x Judge J Ames E. Shepherd,
standing master, to take testimony
touching the matter, and to report
back to the court both the evidence
and his conclusions.
For the purpcs, of taking this testi-
mony Judge Shepherd Is al liberty to
hold references in any part OF the State
that may be deemed most convenient

showing up the ore called for by To-
cal conditions and the formation of

has followed that much time was

of the country, rather than help in
the entertainment and profit of those
who read these reports,
Enough was seen however to mer-
it anything that might be said en-
Enthusiastically of the country. For
it is, plainly, not mineral system

opment, once facts in the case reach
the public. And therefore though it
may be irksome for owners of the

of the caravan passing to other
parts of the field, they can we'll af-
ford to wait the turn of events, for
with such character as their terri
tory possesses, and such prices at
which they hold their properties, it
IS not going to take long to turn
something OF the flood tide of invest
ors to the new mineral territory of

The emergence of more than one
road northward from Little Rock,
on lines that also conform to the
leaves of a folding fan, was the idea
for which there was substituted that
of one road forking at Marshall.
And the reason of the double radial
idea, at that day, was that OF the
present time, viz: Conditions or To-
calities OF the mineral field OF North
Arkansas that invited more than
one north and south road from Lit
tie Rock; as well as the element of
the country's topography which
only for a short distance necessitates
parallel construction, but this point
passed all conflict of interests would
be avoidable il projectors Of such
roads did not try the dog in the
manger act.
Or, in other words, the state OF the
case is this: No matter that there
seems to be a conflict in progress be-
tween promoters of rival enterprises
who have the mineral resources Of
the country in view, the time is fast
coming, II it is not at hand, when
more than one road from Little Rock

MAY D, lJOU. J
Readers of the TIMES who. in that
year, kept track of the Arkansas
coal, timber, land and railroad boom
of 1887, will perhaps recall a hall
page map of this state printed by
the Gazette of Little Rock.
The object of the map was in the
main, for the purpose OF showing
new roads projected in the state at
that time, among which, as laid
down on the map, were the follow
ing named roads, now in operation,
viz: Choctaw road. also known in
that day by the same name; Kansas
City Southern Railway; Memphis
Branch Missouri Pacific Railway;
Fort Smith and Camden X. R., COW
cred in part by the Greenwood
Branch South from Fort Smith; a
river road from Fort Smith to Little
Rock, on the south side of the Ar
kansas, covered III part by the Paris
Branch of the Missouri Pacific Rail
way; Arkansas Valley and Kansas
X. r. And second series, north
from Little Rock, calling for the
North Arkansas mineral field.
The map which was engraved to
order, under the direction of the wri-
ter, was a satisfactory one to the
public. And, accordingly as it was
free to all who wished to possess a
copy, no publication had been more
popular in the history of the state.
But withal that the public had no
fault to find with it, it was not car
ried out as desired, because, it was
thought by others, that multiple
lily vi llIlCS iIOII LilliC NUN llllO
North Arkansas, instead oftone road
with fork to it from Marshall
northward. would be too much like
heading the hounds, and Arkansas
at that time only on probation with
the public as a field of investment.
1t will be, perhaps, also recalled,
that the same map, from the same
plate, did good service in the Manu-
featuring Edition of the Gazette of
January 18th, 1897. And which
edition, it should be said by way of
parenthesis, was but an effort, made
through the paper, to predispose
Arkansas sentiment in favor of a
state commercial convention which
followed; and the immediate off
spring of which, a State Board of
Trade, almost died "a borning," be-
cause its efforts were directed to the
promotion and defense of business
interests of the state, wooden head
ed legislators were disposed to Grip
pie or neglect, as suited their mood.
