NEGRO PORTER VERY LOW.

At midnight last night word from Rex
Hospital was that the negro porter, Joe
Mitchell, shot in the railroad tragedy
when Captain Stevers was killed, was
very low and that his chances for recov-
cry were very slight.

Among the Railroads.

We have received from high authorf-
ty the following statement:
The Seaboard Air Line has been Ia
ken into the fold
eve have endeavored to get aft the
full meaning of this sentence from our
authority but nothing more than this
statement would be vouchsafed. From
ether sources, however, we learn that
the recent Louisville and Nashville
Southern Railway deal has made it
necessary to formulate a plan by which
the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line could work in harmony with
the Southern Railway and Louisville.
Just what that plan is, is still withheld
from publication
Some time ago it was intimated by
the best authority that a Southern So
curities company would be formed to
take over practically all the main rail-
roads OF the South. The matter de-
pended a good deal upon the decision as
to the legality of the Northern Securi-
ties Company. We understand that the
situation has not changed materially
from this original purpose and that a
statement of our authority that the SEA-
board has been taken into the fold sim
ply means that the owners OF this prop
erty have in some way or other signiied
their willingness to operate their prop
erty in harmony with the general pur-
pose of those who control the other large
systems: which would mean CT course
taking into this new company of the
Seaboard Air Line in some Way.-Wall
Street Journal.
Just why the Southern Railroad Com
pany should discriminate against Hen
Jacksonville we do not know. Season
tickets from all points 50 nth of us are
sold to Asheville. This discrimination is
unfair and unjust to Hendcrsonville and
our Corporation Commission should see
to it that it be stopped. People who
desire to come to Hendersonville should
have that privilege without having to
buy a ticket to sheville.-Henderson
