GENERAL PASSENGER AGENT
BUNCH.

The appointment OF Mr. X. +. l..
Bunch as General Passenger Agent
Of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, to
succeed Mr.. l.. S. Allen, who re-
signed on account of i'll health, is es-
pscially gratifying to his friends.
And best of all the promotion comes
purely upon merit.
Mr. Bunch is native Of Raleigh
aud is warmly and highly esteemed
by large acquaintanceship. He is
a Young man who has worked his
way to the front by force of natural
ability and faithfulness to duty, and
is recognized as one OF the most
promising of the younger railroad
men.
For many years MIR. Bunch was
chief clerk of the passenger depart
ment Of the Southern Railway. Re-
Gently he was appointed to the posi-
ton Of Assistant General Passenger
Agent, with headquarters in St. Lou
is, having jurisdiction over the new
ST. Loui.-Louisville line of the South
ern Railway. When the announce
ment was made that Mr.. Bunch had
been appointed to this position it
was given out that the promotion
was owing to his qualifications and
fitness and his skill and experience in
handling difficult situations.
With reference to Mr.. Bunch's new
position the Baltimore Sun remarks
on his former connection with the
passenger department of the South.
ern Railway, and says:
In such big system this position
is one that calls for executive ability
and thorough understanding of the
passenger business. Mr.. Bunch
achieved reputation in this position
which brought him the promotion te

THE RALEIGH POST.

The Raleigh Morning Post has been

SINCE Gov. Russell had the APP
pointing power and was to exercise
that power in appointing a Republ-
can, he did the proper thing in pro-
noting Judge Furches. We have not
forgotten Judge Furches' canvass for
Governor and formed very poor
opinion of him then, and while he
may not shed equal lustre upon the
exalted office OF Chief Justice as have
some who have occupied the chair,
yet we repeat that his elevation was
the proper thing to do under the cir
cumstances.

SUPREME COURT APPOINTMENTS.

We suppose the action of Gov.
Russell in appointing successor to
Chief Justice Faircloth and in filing
the vacancy thus occasioned by the
elevation OF Justice Furches, will sur
prise no one who had given the matter
serious thought. 1t was not to be
believed that he would appoint him
self (or do what practically amounted
to the same) or that he would take
from the Superior Court bench or
from the walks of private life a man
and place him in the Chief Justices
chair ahead Of Judges Furches and
Douglas. And when it came to select
ing man to succeed either of these
knowing the strong personal friend
ship existing between Gov. Russell
and Charles A. Cook we have not
doubted that the honor would fall to
the latter. And whatever may be
said of the politics or personality of
the man the GOLD LEAF i. frank to
say he is a good lawyer and the Gov
ernor might have gone further and
made the Court fare worse.

THE NORTH CAROLINA YEAR BOOK

Some time ago the News and o.
serrer promised a work not heretofore
undertaken by North Carolina news
paper-what is called the North Caro-
lima Year Book-something along the
lines of the annual almanacs and en-
clycopedias issued by the big metro
politan journals. We notice that it
is lust out and while we have not
seen copy of it that it is work of
real merit and practical utility we
may not doubt. The Raleigh Post
says this:
A publication of great value to
every North Caroinian, or person in
terested in North Carolina, has just
been issued by the News and Observer,
under the above title. 1t is the most
repete work of it's kind we have ever
seen, covering quite every subject OF
interest to our people, religious,
social, professional, political. indus
trial The information covers every
county, or organization, civil or other
wise, with the postoffice address Of
every official. 1t is not only indis-
pensable to the public Or professional
man, but will be found useful to every
citizen, and we are sure will be we'll

nR. ST. JOHNS RETIREMENT.

Mr. f. St. John, Vice-President ard
General Manager of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway, has rendered his resig-
nation 10 take effect not later than
Jan. 18TH This action is cause for
sincere regret on the part OF the
friends of that gentleman and the in
terests he has managed with such sig
nal ability since he came to the sys-
tenn six years ago.
Mr.. ST. Johns retirement is a dis
tinct loss not only to the Seaboard
but to that section OF the South trav-
ersed by its lines. During is admin
istration he has greatly improved the
property, increasing the value OF it's
stock seven fold it is said. And what
he has done for the South is an open
book. He has been a very pronoun-
ced force in the upbuilding of this
great system and the country contig-
nous to it.
Mr.. ST. John declines to indicate
what his plans are for the future, but
wherever he goes he will carry with
him the best wishes OF thousands of
friends and admirers, employees and
the public generally, for success and
happiness, and long life in which to
enjoy them.

Much interest is felt by our people all
over the State at this time in the financial
condition of the Commonwealth. The
statements furnished by the Treasurer
and Auditor within the last few days,
therefore, have a peculiar interest just
now
The figures of the Treasurer, showing
the expenditures for the last 24 years, for
each six-year period, are rather surpris-
ing SO great has been the increase From
1877 to 1882 the expenditures averaged
annually. 1904 ,442; from 1883 to 1885,
1917, 419; from 1889 to 1894, 81 49,
6I2; from 1895 to 1901. 81, AIS, 6S5.
The increase during each period is such
as to attract attention; the difference be-
tween the first and the last-'77 to 'S2
and '95 to Oils two and one-third
times greater in the latter than in the
former period. Expenses of government
have therefore increased two and one
| third times in 4 years. taking the ex treme
periods as comparison.
About one and one third of the total re-
| celpts OF the State now go to the support
OF the charitable and penal institutions.
1t was very different IA years ago, and
since then two asylums for the insane
| (that for whites at MorgantOn and that
for blacks at Goldsboro) and one for the
deaf and dumb have been erected and are
| now filled to overt1Owing with patients
Then the pension money paid class of
Confederate veterans, and the expenses
incident to the erection and maintenance
OF the \. \ NJ. College for boys and the
Industrial and Normal for girls, and
| other large sources of expenditures are to
| be considered. So, upon second thought,
| the large increase is not so startling as it
at first appeared.
The States money has not been squan-
dered, nor has it been stolen by dishonest
officials, and there is some comfort to be
derived from this thought. The heavy
increase will. after all, be found to be due
more largely than to any other cause to
the enlarged demand of an advancing
civilization, which necessarily exacts
heavier public expenditures
1t cannot be said that our people are
now taxed more heavily in proportion to
the increased expenditures, considering
the proper proportion which should be
| borne according to increased population
and wealth. Indeed, compared to a num-
| Der OF States, taxes in North Carolina are
| low today

wisely and so we conclude that he is
the right man in the right place.
