From the North.
AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM
A FORMER RESIDENT OF
SOUTHERN PINES.

MIR. EDITOR:
After being ''on the road" for
five weeks, enroute from Southern
Pines to Chicago, | found it ex
tremely refreshing to read up the
accumulated news from the sand
belt, a locality which, | assure you,
| have not lost interest in, and
which, for divers reasons, appeals
to me stronger than ever.
First and foremost, the fact is
that people working on a salary
no matter as to its magnitude
cannot get ahead any, especially
here in the North, where ''tempta-
ton leads on to destruction" and
where work means, in many in
stances, hard grubbing for - and
IA hours day in a climate that is
.'shivery" during nine months of
the year. My thirteen months Of
residence in Southern Pines has
convinced me that there is more
solid comfort to the square foot in
that region than there is in any
other place in my alendar, and
that ones own labor need not be
in vain, even though the impress
ion may have gone abroad as to
"What good can come out of the
Nazareth sand-dunes Of North
Carollna?' | find here great won
derment as to the intense heat
that the average citizen imagines
must be sizzling you to death dur
ing these summer months. But
if they would take the slight troub-
le, as / have done, to look at the
daily weather repots, they would
see that you all have been quite
as comfortable in that respect as
have the denizens of northern Hi
nois, and with the added felicity of
cool nights.
| have had numerous inquiries
as to the "prospects" down there
What can a man with limited cap
ital do?,etc. My answer has been
that one can do nothing anywhere
without push and attention to bus
mess, but that they can attain that
end more easily in the South than
elsewhere.
Personally, l have been greatly
interested, lin so far as my knowl-
edge of chemistry doesn't go), in
your Experimental Farm articles
and the truck farming testimony
of various citizens Of Southern
Pines; the heralding forth Of such
gospel is most commendable. The
news in your columns indicates
that considerable building is going
on in your place; no one thing bet
ter illustrates the prosperity of a
town or city. 1t may interest your
fruit growers to hear that | saw

TO DRIVE OUT
THE BAD NEGROES
INDIANA CITIES AND TOWNS WILL
USE DRASTIC MEASURES
AGAINST IDLE BLACKS

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 2S.-Cities
and towns along the Ohio river have be-
gun a crusade against the negroes. The
entire trouble dates back to the lynchings
of negroes at Rockport and Bonneville
for the murder of the white barber, Sim
mons, Of Rockport, one night last
month.
The board of safety of this city has
ordered the police to arrest all strange
negroes and bring them before the city
police judge. If they cannot give any
reason for being here they will be SEN
fenced to the rock pile. The object of
this order is to rid the town of an obnox-
ious class of negroes. 1t is estimated
that there are 1000 colored men in this
city who absolutely refuse to work.
They spend their time in the colored
saloons and low dives of the city and
live the best way they can. On election
day they are in the market, and the man
who bids the highest is the man who
lands them.
The board of safety was led to take
this step by the action of the Spencer
county grand jury in indicting 139 negroes
of Rockport for selling their votes on
last election day. The citizens commit
tee have been actively engaged for the
past month arranging the preliminary
evidence to be presented to the grand
jury. 1t is said that an attempt will be
made to have the blacks who are indict-
ed arraigned in court at one time, and it
is desired that they be sent to the state
prison at the same time. Such thing
would be a novel thing in the history
OF Indiana Jurisprudence.
Other towns in Indiana along the river
are taking steps to drive the worst ele-
ment of negroes away. In some towns no
negro is permitted to live. Vigilance COM
mlttees have been appointed at Grand
View, Enterprise, Tell City and Leaven-
warth Since the recent trouble at New
burg many of the colored people have
left that town.

FREDERICK, Md, an. 2S-The Freder-

here at o'clock this afternoon over
the Pennsylvania road, encountered
snow drift at Sharrett's Cut, twenty miles
north, where it became completely snow
bound and remained so until o'clock
this evening when the four coaches with
their occupants were extricated from
their perilous position. AS the train left
Bruceville a furious wind was prevail
ing, and before proceeding far the wind
became of cyclonic force, hurting sheets
of binding snow through the air. The
engineer attempted to plow his way
through the drift but, before he got far
he found the track completely choked up
and the rear was rapidly filing up with
the drifting snow. Within half an hour
the snow was over seven feet high and
the passengers were greatly alarmed, as
they could see nothing but huge sheets
of snow sweeping down from the noun
ta1ns encircling them from sight A relief
crew was sent from Frederick, and after
hazardous work the, train was brought
back to Bruceville. All the freight and
southbound trains from Philadelphia over
the Frederick division of the PennsyIva-
MA system were sidetracked at Taney-
town on account Of the drifts. The
drifts from Bruceville to Taneytown are
SAID to be over mile in length and cuts.

ALL SUSPECTS IN JAIL
FOURTH MAN BROUGHT FROM DU-
LUTH AND LOCKED UP.

The last of the four suspects in the
Midway fire case was put behind the
bars at central station last night. Harold
Olson, nineteen years old, brother of
Seagred Olson, was brought rom Duluth
by Detective Frazer. He has been en-
ployed in lumber camp IN St Louis
county for the past month. Accord ng to
the testimony of Fred Wood, a convict
at Saltwater, who was in the Hennepin
county Jail at the time the alleged plot
was laid, Harold Olson was mentioned
by his brother Seagred as an accomplice.
The four will be in police court this
morning, charged with arson in a COM
plant sworn out by Capt. Clark
Arthur V. I1inman, proprietor of the
slaughter house which was burned, stated
yesterday that he had reason to believe
that it was intended by the party that
burned his place to also set fire to his
home. Shortly after fire was discovered
he was notified and on leaving his house
which is not far from his place of busi-
ness he saw wagon standing in the road.
AS he was passing, two men sprang from
the bushes at the side of the road and
drove rapidly away.
Mr.. Hinman also stated that several
days before the fire two men walked
through his slaughter house as though
they were sizing the place up The
description of one of the men tallies per-
fectly with that of Seagred Olson.

definite information from a full-blood
Choctaw Indian to the effect that a meet

stroy the property of all railroads in the
territory, with the exception of the Choc-
taw, Oklahoma & Gulf and Santa Fe

Mr.. Jackson says:
Last night United States Marshal
Bennett and Indian Agent Schoenfeldt
interviewed a Choctaw, who pledged
them to Keep his name secret, but who
was anxious to place what informant n
he possessed in the hands of government
officers. He said that there had been a

to destroy the Missouri, Kansas & Texas

that the. would at an appointed time at
tack different parts of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas tracks, and burn
bridges and trestles. Bennett and Shoen-
