WILL SOON BE REBUILT
Who is Backing the New Road to be
Built From Marion?
PROMOTERS OF 1T WANT MANY COVvICIS
II viii Open Up Valuable Mineral ST cton il
This State and Prov de New and Direct
Route 10 the Sea For Western
Iron and Coal.

The May floods in this State literally
washed away one railroad and the presl-
dent of it writes the Corporation Com
mission that he doesn't know when he IL
ever be able to begin operations again.
The road was a new one, about fifteen
miles long, and the route lay along the
Nolachucky river from the Tennessee line
to Bakersvlle, N. C. 1t was intended to
be a part of the new road that is to be
built from Marion, n. c., to Tennessee,
by way of Bakersville. Put from infor
nation now before the Corporation Com
mission, it seems that the flood in the
Nclachucky left only the right OF way
and an occasional span of track TO indi-
cate that any road had ever ornamentcd
its banks.
This road, however, will be at once
replaced and the BakerSville- Marion link,
built, connecting the South Carolina and
Georgia Extension Railroad at Marion
and the Ohio River and Charleston Rail-
road at the Tennessee line. These two
roads are said to be under practically the
same management and this link (about
fifty miles in length will give them d
system that will form a valuable prop
erty, running from Camden, S. c., where
it connects with the Seaboard to john
son City. Tenn, where it connects with
tho Southern.
Work will begin on the Marion Bakers
vile link at once, and all the convi is
that can be obtained from the penitan-
tiary. up to 600, will be employed.
The road, Wien completed will open ur
one Of the most valuable mineral and
timber sections Of the State, and will pro-
vide a new and direct route east for the
coal and iron of Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia.
This has long been a cherished project
of both the Seaboard and the Southern,
and the great secrecy that is being main
tanned in regard to the new road has led
many to believe that the work is backed
by one or the other of these systems.
The most general impression is that it
is the Southern.

The Cleveland Star prints letter re-
Gently written to Rev. Thomas Dixon,
Sr., who has been i'll and who CON
tinues quite feeble, from the venerable
Rev. J ID. Huffman, d. D., which is in
the best vein of the beloved Baptist
bishop as they call DIR. Huffman in
Eastern North Carolina 1t IS a letter
of more than personal interest that
will help all who read it. and concerning
two aged ministers who have had no
superiors in the abundant labors" for
the spread of religion and the upbuild-
ing of the Baptist church in North
Carolina The letter is as follows:
My Beloved Brother Through Mary,
my daughter. who has just returned
from Shelby, learn that you have been
right seriously sick. 1t surprises me
greatly. Much as we were together
during the three years of my stay in
Shelby | never heard you say you were
tired, or had the headache, or indges-
ton, or any ailment whatever l had
come to think of you as likely to full
fiji your course and then go quickly in
to the rest that remaineth for the peo-
pie of God. 1t is what | have always
craved for myself life filled to the
last moment with work for God and hui
mainly then a quick passage into the
land of the blest. Somehow l could
not bear to think of you as lying weak
and dependent and suffering But our
God knoweth best. AS He has given
you strength to labor above the lot of
most men and to withstand the temp
tations of perfect health so He with
supply the grace which triumpheth over
weakness and pain should He design
that these should be the accompani-
ments of your closing years. The past
of your life is secure; nothing can de-
prive you of that. And it is a glorious
past | love. to think of it; looking
after the support of your family and
the education of your children, and at
the same time going beyond all your
brethren in the work of the minis
try. organizing more churches, bap-
tizing more people, preaching more
sermons and marrying more couples
than any of them. What a pity it is
that you have kept no record of these
things for your descendants and the
generation to come. But we need not
grieve over the record 1t has been
faithfully. kept where they make no
mistakes and do not forget anything.
Il have purposed many times to make
YOU a visit and, be refreshed once
more by your conversation, but nave
been let hitherto. I hope some time
this summer to get in sight OF the
mountains once more and to have sight
and touch of you again. God bless you,

RULES FOR PARDONS
SearchIight of Publicity to be
Turned on Them.
Two Weeks Notice Of an Application For 3
Pardon Must be Given in Some Public
Newspaper.

Within the next day or two a set of
rules will be printed and issued from the
Executive office, governing applications
to the Governor for pardons.
These rules are now in the hands of
the printer.
The most important one is that requir-
ing the publication for two weeks of no.
tice that application will be made to the
Governor for a pardon; this notice to be
published in the columns of a PAPER in the
county from which the convict, for whom
pardon IS to be asked, was sentenced, and
in case no paper is published in the
county, notice is to be posted at the
court house and in other public places
for two weeks.
The public notice which the applicant
for pardon must pest shall not only
announce that a pardon is asked but
must state of what crime the applicant
was convicted, for hbw many years he
was sentenced and how long he was al
ready served. In fact the notice has to
really amount to concise statement of
the case SO that the people of the county
may know exactly who wants pardon
and on what ground it is asked
The object of this is that those. oppos-
ed to the granting of pardon, if there is
any reason why it should not be granted,
may have an equal opportunity of being
heard along with those who favor it, 1t
is believed that in this way only those
who deserve a pardon will secure it, and
II any are pardoned who are unworthy, it
viii be due to the failure Of those fami-
liar with the facts to present them to the
Governor.
In other words, this rule turns the
search light of publicity upon every par
den and every application for pardon

Insurance Commissioner Young expects

C. c.. Roach, one of Craven county s
leading negroes, was in the city yester-
day to see the State Treasurer in regard
to an annual appropriation of $500 made
by the Legislature of 1895, to the negro
fair at Newbern. The appropriation has
been regularly paid ever since, and the
law giving it has never been repealed,
but some doubt seems to have arisen in
the mind of the president of the Fair
as to the continuance of the appropria-
ton in future, and he wrote to Mr.. Lacy to
know if he would, under his admins
tration" keep on paying it. He also in
formed the Treasurer that prof. Roach
would call on him 70 ascertain his answer
MIR. Lacy, being unable to find any law
(chapter 21S, Laws of 1880 granting an
annual appropriation of $500 year to the
Oriental Industrial, Stock, Fruit and
Agricultural Association of Newbern, had
of course, to hold that he must pay it.

HUDSON RIVER ICE
Suffers in Comparison With
that from Kennebec.
Said to Be Full Of Sewage and Un-
fit for Family Use.
May Be Explanation Of American Ice Co.'S Late
Deals in Maine.
Tie Bangor Commercial says:

Ike bangor NOfuE1ertllI saws.
When the Hudson river ice crop fail
ed. the Penobscot men used to look
happy and begin to fill their houses
with frozen cakes just as fast as they
knew now. They don't do that now.
because somebody else has bought
them all out and manages the ice bus
mess for them. Perhaps some day the
Penobscot ice men will wish they had
ed clear Of the trust and kept con-
Il ol Of their own fields and houses
There is {: possibility that not an
other cake Of ice will ever be cut on
the Hudson river. This is not perhaps
n probab ii:ty just at present. but it is
a possibility. A certain aSse.nblyrnan
in Brooklyn has the draught of II bill
given him by n constituent to prohibit
by law the cutting Of ice o. he Hud-
son in future on account OF it's i'm
purity.
The man who drafted tho bill mas
looked into the matter and has found
that by reason of the very large num-
Der of sewers from cities and large
towns which empty into the Hudson.
the river must without shadow of
4 doubt be contaminated so that ice
cut from its surface with which to sup
ply the citizens Of New Yori. city and
Brooklyn cannot be but dangerous to
the public health in no small degree.
In Il letter published in the Brooklyn
Eagle of April l. the man VINO has
framed the bill. gives as his evidence
the names of streets in the city of AL
bany. Troy. Rensselaer, and Saith
having sewers emptying into the Hud-
son and the sizes Of the outlets. Be
sides the people of Albany and Troy
there is a population Of about $4,000
people whose sewerage goes into the
river in the Immediate vicinity of the
places from which ice is taken to sup
ply TIE people of New York.
The amount of sewerage must neces-
Sariiy be tremendous and the writer
claims that the impurty of the ice is
self-evident. The legislator to whom
this bill was sent is in a pitiabe state
of mind. He does not know what to do
With it. He wants to please his CON
stituents. but on the other hand the ice
business on the Hudson is: ii tremen-
dous thing. and many of the chief men
Of the state are closely connected with
it. and he hesitates. which is natural
Whether the legislator viii decide to
put this bill in by request or not "1n-
not yet be told. This is sometimes
done to please constituent when a
legislator does not care To be person
ally responsible. If the bill is put in
il is bound TO be heard clearly. and
there may be interesting developments.
How it would effect the PenobScot in
dustry if it We're passed cannot be fore
told but the chances are that this re-
gion would benefit to some degree from
the wages paid labor to supply the de-
ficiency caused by no ice crop on the
Hudson.
