RUINOUs SCHEDULES.

Never in the history of this paper has
it been so difficult to get the News and
Observer promptly to its subscribers as
during the past month. This has been
particularly true as to subscribers on the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Carolina
Central. The early morning train on the
Seaboard Air Line road, due to leave
Raleigh at 1892 a. m, has been from two
to five hours late most of the month Of
February. In the twenty eight days OF
February, the train on the Southern rail-
way, due to leave Raleigh at 5:25 a. M,
has been too late to connect with the
Atlantic Coast Line fifteen times. Other
trains on other roads have been out of
gear.
The railroads have suffered from many
accidents and have been subjected there
by to many delays, but now it is to be
hoped that the service will be improved.
All the schedules out of Raleigh, except
these two that have been all wrong dur
ing February, are as bad for a morning
newspaper as could be well devised, and
when these two run late and miss con-
nections, the life of newspaper man is
worse than "a demned horrid grind

Cotton Causerie.

The New York Commercial quotes AT
wood Violet & Co. as saying:
I'VE regard as inevitable a further ad-
vance in spot cotton, that may be ex-
IRENE, in consequence of the rapid re-
duction in supplies in the South, and con-
tinued demand, which a prominent firm
there advises US is phenomenal. The
advance in contracts will follow spot
prices, as a natural consequence. The
great strength of cotton will become
more pronounced continually hereafter.
The market is on an ascending scale, and
is being bought confidently by some of
the largest local financial interests. The
dry goods trade continues to show i'm
provements and higher prices can be
looked for for the manufactured product.
The voluntary advance in wages, in the
Fall River district, offers the strongest
proof of this. The short contract inter
est in this market, and at Liverpool, is
almost beyond precedent. and it is a
knowledge of these conditions that helps
to keep the market so strong"

STICK TO 1T
Until Coffee Hits You Hard.

II is about as well to advise people to
stick to coffee until they get hit hard
enough, so that they will never forget
their experience, although it is rather
unpleasant to have 70 look back to. half
dozen years of invalidism, money and
opportunity thrown away which is really
the terrible price paid for the weakest
kind of mess of pottage."
A woman writes and her letter is con-
densed to give the facts in short space
Il was coffee slave and stuck to it like
topper to his cups Notwithstanding

severe attacks of sick headache, then

COULD 1T HAVE BEEN PREVEN'
TED.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot says the
News and Observers protest against
the discrimination against North Caro-
lima in the River and Harbor bill is
debated" and after copying this paper S
editorial says:
Now see here last fall before Con-
gress assembled, the Virginian-P Pilot
pointed out that the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee of the last Congress had
been packed in the interest of the
States lying along the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers and bordering on the Great
Lakes: that all but two or three of such
States had representation on the COM
mittee, while not an Atlantic Coast
State from New York to Georgia was
represented on the committee.
Having pointed out these facts and
the obvious injustice they implied, we
begged our North Carolina contempo-
raries to urge the North Carolina dele
cation in Congress to take the matter
up with the Virginia delegation and
demand representation on the Rivers
and Harbors Committee, making sac
rifices of places on other committees,
if necessary, to secure that representa-
tion. Not a Carolina newspaper would
take .he matter up.
Now, when it is too late: when the
die is cast and the money apportioned,
our Raleigh contemporary IS yelling
murder and calling upon the North
Carolina delegation to oppose the bill.
''The pill may be bitter but they will
have to swallow it, make they ever SO
wry face. Perhaps the incident may
teach the Atlantic Coast States to
stand together as the Lake States do.
las to killing the BILL it can't be done
in the, first place: and in the second il
would be foolish. There are partially
made river and harbor improvements
going to ruin now for need of money to
complete them and further neglect
would cost the government almost as
much as the rivers and harbors bill car
ries. tti -

less to buy a paddock now. Let us
rather rejoice that the stable is left
There is much of truth in what the
Virginian- Pilot says. The South At
lantic States ought to stand together
but it is doubtful if they could have
prevented the composition of the COM
mittee on which they have no repre-
sentation.
The bill has not yet become a law

States, acting together, have the power

TILLMAN'S CHARGES.
Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican.
The charge of Tillman is VIGOROUSLY
true in every essential feature, and the
only thing left for an investigating COM
mittee to determine is whether McLaurin
changed his coat in the hope of gaining
what he has without a previous promise,
or in response to a previous promise;
and If the latter supposition is true, how
many and what administration Senators,
II any, were responsible for the bargain
This is one of those scandals connected
with the Philippine treaty which no
amount of uproar over Tillman's brawling
conduct can hide from present view of
history.

Romulus Zig-zag Linney, the loud
voiced and chameleon politician of Alexan-
der county, is the first man to proclaim
McLaurin's political death. He has writ
ten letter to the junior South Caro-
lima Senator congratulating him upon his
recent performance, offering to contribute
to buy a monument for the South Caro-
linian upon condition that he be permit
ted to write the inscription. Here is the
epitaph he says he will write:

Tobacco Puffs.

The tobacco growers of eleven counties
in Kentucky, have effected an organiza-
ton of company with 81 OOO,O 900 to be
divided into shares of SO each. All to-
bacco growers are required to give bond
that they will deliver their product to
the association, agreeing to receive 90
per cent of its value on delivery, the
balance when sold by the association.
The association has the right to sell in
the open market or to manufacture.
Farmers have the right to sell to any
one, but in case they do they must pay
the association 81 per hundred for all
tobacco sold that way. Organizers on
salary are to be sent to every county
in the Burley district. and when 10000
farmers sign the contract the associa-
ton will be Incorporated

THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH.

The reports, we'll verified, of the dis
tressing need of the Boer women and
children, caused the good people OF Chi
cago to raise a sum of money to relieve
them. After the money was in hand, Sec
rotary Hay was asked for passports for
DR.. and Mrs. Hiram w. Thomas to visit
the concentration camps of South Africa
and distribute the money for the relief
of the Beers. Secretary Hay declined.
There is not room to doubt that the
Beers are in need. The British blue
book shows that 10,113 children have died
in the Boer camps during the last six
months of 1901. Last April Lady Max
well, wife of the British Governor of Pre-
toria, issued an appeal to the American
people asking for money with which to
buy clothing and food for the sufferers.
The money has been raised, agents to dis
tribute it selected, but this administration
refuses passports for this work of mercy.
. We have money and to spare to send
delegation to genufiect and ape royalty
when the graceless Edward is crowned,
but even when the money is raised by
private parties, this government refuses
the poor privilege of passport to agents
to distribute it! Our alliance with Great
Britain seems to require that We turn
deaf ear to the starving, as we'll as re-
pudiate our history of encouraging men
everywhere who are fighting for liberty.
This price is too high to pay for such
friendship with Edwards domain. Let's
end it.

About two million dollars is the

wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern at Leesburg, thirty-three
miles from here at 8 p. m. The dead
are Phillip Roe, engineer, Chillicothe,
and Charles Studer, fireman Chilli
cothe.
The train wrecked was the No. 9
Royal Blue Flyer which left Cincin-
natl at 6:1O p. m. 1t consisted of eight
coaches and was crowded with passen-
gers returning from the Cincinnati fall
festival.
The train was running at the rate of
fifty miles an hour when it ran into an
open switch, every car leaving the
track. The engine exploded and En-
gineer Roe and Fireman Studer were
killed outright. The postal and bag
gage cars piled on top of the engine
tank and the rest of the coaches were
more or less damaged. General Man.
ager |. G. Rawn was in his private
car on the rear of the train and be i'm.

moval of the injured. He ordered two
coaches and an engine from this CITY
and had the injured brought here.
They arrived here after midnight and
were taken to the Warner House.
where they were placed into the hands
of local physicians who were hastily
summoned to attend them.
No explanation has yet been given
for the wreck 1t was at first thought
that freight crew had left the switch
