WHIT ABOUT ITe

The COMMONWEALTH has not heard
anything about the railroad recently
We feel like 1t is time to stir up the
pure minds of the projectors of that
enterprise again.
Sometime ago we hoped that by this
time there would have been a way
blazed from Scotland Neck to Roanoke
river SO that all who might pass could
read "railrcad" on the trees.
But something seems to have put a
quietus on the business, and now we
wish to hear about it again. Who can
epeak about it with authority?
Let us hear about the project again
Nothing could be don which would
affect the business interests OF the town
more than the said railroad to Roanoke
river.

THE COMMONWEALTH, somehow we

good people:
"There is not better type of the
best Democracy than is found in the
neighboring county OF Harnett- 1t
was originally settled by the grand
army OF Macs who came directly to
North Carolina from Scotland. Its
people may be depended upon to
stand true to their convictions, to de-
lend their homes in time of war, and
TO stand firmly by their convictions in
times 0. peace. They are an ;ndepen-
dent people. They haye studied
great public questions and are we'll in
formed, and they are ready to give a
reason for the faith that is In them"

Robert Fraser Burnt Out
Last Night

$4,000
Especial to TELEGRAM J

\OPCCIo1 w ALLEohAN
Montpelier, Feb. 4.-The granite
sheds of Robert Fraser at the Pioneer
were burned to the ground last night
wit a loss tf $4,000. Insurance
$4,000, $500 OF which was in the
Vermont Mutual and $500 IN the
Union Mutual.
The fire alarm sounded at l.30 and
the department turned out promptly,
but were unable to save anything. A
large gasolene tank catching fire i'm
peded them seriously in the work.
The origin was probably incendiary,
as no fire is kept in the engine room
at night. Mr.. Fraser has no suspi'
cions.
He had about $4,000 worth Of work
on hand, much of it boxed up outside
ready for shipment, and the heat
completely ruined it. Dillon & Haley
have offered him the use Of part OF
their sheds to get out the remainder OF
his work.
He has not decided as yet whether
be will rebuild or not. The plant
vas formerly operated by Fraser x
Broadfoot.
