The Southern's Mississippi Victory,


The Constitution, Atlanta. Ca. Feb. 81, 1901
The victory Of the Southern RsiWsy saI,Hn Con- ,b
State OF Mississippi is splendid tribute 10
the showing made before the officers OF the
| railr DAD. =

and Ohio Railroad, running north from
Mobile to st. Louis. passing through Missis.
sippi on It's way. The cry was raised that the
tItion. and that the sale should not be In:
validated by the action Of the state railroad
commission. Before that body 1t was snow q
that the Mobile and Ohio did not parallel the
Southern; that Its north and south line cross
ed the Southern's east and west lines twice at
| right angles. and that instead OF curtailing
competition II really extended the competi.
tion OF the Southern Railway as against other
railways In the State of Mississippi. 1t was
also shown that It bad never been the policy
| OF the Southern Railway Company to carry
dead ends or unworked lines; that every
mile of track was worked for all that 1t was
worth, and that IL was In this spirit that the
Southern desired to enter Mississippi. The
| plea was 80 straightforward and convincing
| that the commission animously dismissed
| Its action against the Southern.
To the people OF Georgia, to whom the
working OF the Southern system is 80 we'll
known, the action Of the Mississippi com mis-
railroad spirit In Georgia ran very high.
Since that time the Southern, under the presi-
dency Of Mr.. Spencer, has dealt so fairly with
| the people, and has so promptly met every
local enterprise. that this feeling completely
disappeared. Other railroads have co.opera-
ted and all past antagonism has disappeared.
This Ia true not only Of the political feature,
but Of the appeals TO state railroad commits
slons on important Issues.
Mississippi, therefore, is to be congratulate
ed upon It's determination 10 encourage rather
than to antagonize the development In that
state OF the business and the broad and liberal
spirit OF the Southern Railway.

Death and Burial of Mrs. ]. r.

This. community was sadly shocked ty tht
announcement Of the death OF Mrs. j. X
Blake. Jr., OF Abbeville, which occurred or
in that city. Mrs. Blake was identified with
thisI community, having lived quite neal
here from the time OF her marriage up 10 the
election OF her husband to the eftice ol
OF treasurer OF Abbeville County, and was
therefore esteemed as one Of us. Mrs. Blake
was Miss Annie johnson. who lived near
Lowndesville In Abbeville County, and was
in the prime Of life. A new born infant perced.
ed her 10 the grave only few days. She
left sorrowipg husband and three sons to
mourn their loss. The estimation in which
she was held by her neighbors In her adopted
home, was boundtifully attested by the large
place TO her grave in the Green wood Cemetery
where they were laid to rest at l O'Clock on
the evening Of the 18th instant, by the side
OF her children who had been stricken down as
with one stroke In the same city several years
ago. Mrs. Blake was the center OF large cir
Gle OF friends and relatives, and her decease
will leave Q vacancy which will be sorely felt,
especially by her surviving husband ana
sons, who have the sympathy OF this COM

as q last tribute of love and esteem for the
memory of their departed friend and bene-
factor. This privilege was accorded them,
and the service per formed In the presence OF
large assembly OF sorrowing friends. This
was, Indeed no idle or meaningless tribute,
and is f0rcibly suggestive OF the commenda-
ton of our Lord for acts Of kindness scarcely
valued in this life, who said, "1n as much as
ye have done II unto one OF the least OF
these We have done II unto me-"
1t is not the fortune of many 10 have such
an unsolicited and voluntary tribute paid to
their moral worth. Surely such life has
not been lived In vain.

DECENT MEN COULD NOT STAND
THAT.

The Asheville Gazette (the organ that
the Radicals bought in 1898 to fight white
supremacy then and to fight the amend
ment in 1900 has heard about the So
called meeting in Louisburg to organize
'The Business Mems Republican League
of Franklin county, N. c." and says, 1.-The
people of Louisburg are to be congratu-
lated" There may be a hand full of
business men in Louisburg ready to join
hands with the Gazette, though nobody In
Franklin county has heard of it, but there
is no town in America where "the bust
ness men" are stronger Democrats than
in Louisburg. If they should turn Re-
publican, they would flop" back if to be
Republicans they had to accept the con-
gratulations of foul sell-out sheet like
the Gazette. That is little more than

LAURINBURG'S PLUCK.

No town in North Carolina in recent
years has shown more pluck than the
town of Laurinburg, the hustling capt.
tai of the newly created county of Scot
land. When the shops of the Carolina
Central railroad were moved from
Laufinburg something like ten years
But the plucky business men of Laur-
inburg did not sit down and bemoan
their fate. They went to work, and
new interests gave enlargement to the
town. When, time after time, their
fight for the new county of Scotland
ended in failure, they only took strong
er hold and went to work determined
to secure the new county. And their
faith and works won in 1899. A few
weeks ago a disastrous fire swept over
the town, and progressive men saw the
accumulations of years go up in smoke.
They hardly waited for the ashes to
cool before they went actively to work
to rebuild. There is no keeping back
men of such stubborn and we'll directed
pluck. The letter by our staff CORE
spondent Mr. III. B. Hardy "a favorite
in Laurinburg as elsewhere, shows how
the Laurinburg people overcome diff
culties and the stuff they are made Of
1t has bright future.

A INDUSTRIOUS NOTION.

Mr.. George w. Miles has an article in
the Richmond Dispatch protesting against
inviting Hon. VIM. ID. Guthrie, a leading
member of the New York bar, because in
his series of lectures on the Fourteenth
amendment Mr.. Guthrie said:
cit became evident after the close of
the war that the leading members Of the
Confederate Government and army would
be restored to responsible positions. Many
of these insurgents had been in the ser
vice of the United States at the COM
mencement of the war. AS Federal Off
GERS they had taken the oath to support
the Constitution Of the United States.
They had joined the Coneederacy in viola
ton of that OATH 1t was considered
fit and proper that those leaders should
be excluded from office
AS Mr.. Guthrie has accepted the invl-
tation, the Virginians will convert him
during his stay in the Old Dominion from
the monstrous idea that Robert E. Lee
violated his oath when he became the
head of the Confederate Army.

Delegates to District Conference Find Splendid
Welcome at Pittsboro

To tee Editor. When the Raleigh

station at SippahaW last Thursday,
your correspondent and his bonny little
wife were among its passengers en-
route fer the District conference at
Pittsboro, and when the little iron
horse, which carries the mail and the
freight and the passengers from Mon
cure ,on the S. A. L., to Pittsboro,
stopped at it's station that afternoon,
painting and throbbng in the twentieth
century way, they, together with Hon.
Buck Stroud and Profs. Pegram and
Aldridge, were among the passengers,
who were met by the committee on
homes for the delegates. Amid the
stately mansions, the splendid homes,
the hospitable families, for which and
for whom the historic town of Pittsboro
is noted, according to the delegates
way of thinking, the very best was
given. When we entered the Pill<inGton
home we received a welcome that
could not fail to send thrill of pleasure
t, ugh the coolest heart.
Yes, while in Pittsboro we were the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. George r.
Pilkington and their charming little
daughters, Misses Nelly and Myrtle,
who did everything in their power for
our entertainment and pleasure while
there. On Friday afternoon our
charming hostess and her daughters
took us for a nice drive, which we en-
joyed very much, and as we whirled
past farm houses and fertile fields,
splendid residences of 'ye olden
times" behind pair of splendid horses,
it looked like on continuous stream of
stereoscopic views, grand panorama
of some fairy land. We were driven to
my old home" two miles from town,
where our friend, Mrs. Pilkington, nee
Miss EubankS was reared, where she lis
tened first to the warbling of the birds
in the trees as a child, and to the beau
tiful stories of love as young lady,
and where as loving bride she took
the vows that make two loving hearts
one. This was a charming spot, around
which cluster many sweet memories
still. The cid summer house, the long

Time, which brings a period to all
things, whirled into the eternal past the
last moments of our visit they hav-

nothing but the fondest recollections
of one of the most pleasant visits of

McKeesport, Pa, July 30.-The young

death here today. The wedding celebra-
tion was brought to a sudden end, and to-
morrow the bride of less than forty eight

Hungary, and when he had saved enough
money he sent for her. She arrived here
Saturday and the couple were married at
once The usual celebration was started
Sunday, and continued until the bride
dropped dead while dancing with her hus-
band. The young husband seems on the
verge of mental collapse. He was found
clinging to the dead body of the girl-wife
at their home en- Fourth street, and was
almost crazed with grief.
Mrs. Brosewise was pretty, and it is
said she did not refuse any who asked for
dance. In keeping with the custom
amcng Hungarians each men who danced
with the bride was duly bound to deposit
a silver quarter on plate placed in the
middle of the floor
