ANOTHER RAILROAD FOR
RALEIGH.

An important meeting is to be held in
Raleigh tonight, one that ought to in
terest every business man and property
owner in Raleigh. 1t is called by pro-
gressive business men who are interested
in building a railroad from Raleigh to
tide-water in Eastern North Carolina,
probably through Wilson and Greenville
to Washington. Such road would
traverse some of the richest and most
prosperous counties in the State. and,
as an independent line would be of vast
advantage and Importance to the city
of Raleigh.
The meeting tonight should be largely
attended, and the business and property
interests of the city should see that the
opportunity of securing this new road is
not lost. Now is the time to act.

WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH.

Maj. Robert Bingham, of Asheville, has
accepted an invitation from the We'd
nesday Club of Newark, N. j., to deliver
an address on 1.-THE Race Problem in the
South" The letter of invitation to Maj.
Bingham is refreshing and significant.
We quote from it:
"The club is composed of the leading
business and professional men of the
city, and what we want is the race prob
lem from the standpoint of broad
minded and fair minded Southerner. We
want to know why so many Southern
States have deemed it necessary to dis
franchise the blacks. We do not want
you to trim your message to suit this
section. We want the facts as a man
sees them at close range"
No man understands the race problem
better than Major Bingham, and he al
ways goes to the bottom of any subject
upon which he speaks. The Newark
Wednesday Club will get the naked
truth from Maj. Bingham. They show
that they want it without mixture by the
selection of Major Bingham, who is one
of the clearest thinkers and most original
speakers in the South.

1T WORKS VERY WELL,

Wise consolidation of public school dis
tricts has begun, Durham and Cabarrus
taking the lead. Durham merged three
districts into one in Mangum township.
This consolidation will give a graded
school with longer terms, and if properly
conducted the parties who are now OPP
posed to the merger will come to be it's
warmest supporters.
The Concord Standard says that at the
meeting of the Board of Education, two
school districts in number ten township
were consolidated The Board will reduce
the number of districts from Sc to 40.
Last July two districts consolidated, and
were thereby enabled to build a splendid
two room school house.
Seeing the good results of the con-
solidatiou, other school districts will do
likewise" says the Concord Standard.
In one township where the schools were
consolidated 1.-The people were so de-
lighted with their house, they purchased
a good bell by popular subscription, -
and the Standard prints this sensible
comment: This shows how easily a
good neighborhood, at first dissatisfied,
can rise up from selfish views and re-
spond cheerfully to all efforts looking

DISSEMINATED AGAINST.

Tennessee, with no more population
and no better roads than North Carolina
has 259 free rural delivery routes in
operation, while North Carolina has only
1O2. The trouble is this: Inspectors sent
to North Carolina are given more than
they can do. There is need right now
for nine inspectors in North Carolina to
work steadily for three months to es-
tablish additional routes in this State.
An inspector is sent here and before he
can finish the necessary work he is or
dered elsewhere and those who are per-
mitted to remain cannot do the necessary
work. Because of this North Carolina is
unjustly Disseminated against in the es-
tablishment of free rural delivery routes.

A Cure of Blood Poisoning that Has Com

Thousands.

Is your blood impure, poisoned, or

tons boils pimples, blotches, running
sores. eczema, or salt rheum. With
such troubles and ailments the blood is
fast carrying disease and death to the
body.
To be clean, sound, vigorous, healthy
and happy, you must use Paine's Celery
Compound before the advent of the hot
summer days. At this time the vitalizing
and health giving work of Paine's Celery
Compound shows quickly upon the blood,
which is purified and made rich with
nutrment that builds up the nerves and

Remember that "Paine's' is the kind
that cures. At all times refuse the
something just as good offered by some
dealers.
Thousands of sufferers burdened with
some form of disease, the result of i'm
pure and poisoned, impure or sluggish

Yesterdays Baltimore Sun had the fol-
lowing reference to activity in Seaboard
Air Line stocks
THE great activity in trading in stocks
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway on the
Baltimore Stock Exchange yesterday
gave rise to all sorts OF rumors. Many
thousand shares of common and preferred
stock changed hands, and there was a
gain on each of about 2 points.
Recently there has been little trading
in Seaboard stocks, and the sudden squirt
of activity strengthens belief that the
Seaboard is in some way associated with
the deal for the Louisville and Nashville.
Big financiers were said to be the prin-
cipal buyers of Seaboard, and the pre-
sumption is that they know just what
is going on.
There Was a rumOr that the Baltimore
and Ohio will acquire the Seaboard
under the proposed plan to group all
Southern railways. This rumor was due
to the advance in Baltimore and Ohio
stock, but not much weight was given to
the rumor. AS the Pennsylvania Railroad
controls the Baltimore and Ohio, and is
dependent upon Southern roads for it's
Southern business, it would be bad policy
for the Pennsylvania to disturb it's
friendly relations with the Southern
roads, it is said, by becoming especially
interested in any one of them.
LAS an independent line the Seaboard
is believed TO be strengthened by the
deals going on, as its cooperation to es-
tablish and maintain rates would be
needed by any combination that might be
made.
