Among the Railroads.

The country is full of mules and ne
groes from Tallulah to the mouth of
Tiger, and they are moving dirt-Clay-
ton Tt ibuLe.
The Tarboro Southerner wants the Raj
eigh and East Carolina road to go to that
place.
The Common Carrier has authority for
the announcement that a road more than
200 miles long will be constructed from
a point on the Seaboard, probably Lin
colnton, n c., TO valuable coal fields.
The money has been pledged for the
work and the preliminary surveys have
been made. The projected line will put
Wilmington within $50 miles of album
dant fuel and will give the Seaboard
a long haul on coal for territory which
now draws its supply from other roads.
President NJ E. ingalls,, in an interview
in Chicago, said that halt should be
called on railroad merging. If merging
continues, he claimed that one-man own
ership would result, and the next step
would be Government ownership, which,

tolerable condition. He believed in COM
munity of interest by groups-national
groups. Merging, he said, would solve
no present difficulties and would bring
new evils.
Mrs Sallie L. Robertson has instituted
suit in Salisbury against the Southern
Railway for 100000. Mrs. Robertson S
husband, who was an extra gang fore
man in the employ of the Southern, was
killed last August by an overhanging
rock at Swannanoa tunnel, and it is on
account of his death that she brings this
suit.

The news from Washington is that the
Cuban Reciprocity Bill cannot pass the
Senate. Reason: the Republicans in that
body will protect the sugar trust at all
hazards. Nothing but the sugar trust
stands in the way of the immediate pas
sage of this measure of relief to Cuba.
but as the sugar trust, like Jones of
Ringhamton, pays the freight" there is
little probability that the bill will get
through the Senate. Not only will the
trust thus deny to Cuba what was prom
Used, but will also deny the reduction in
the price of sugar which the house bill
would give to American consumers.
BY wise management the Democrats
have made the issue clear. They have
taken every cent from the sugar trust.
1t is "up to- the Senate Republicans to
relieve the people or openly show that
the sugar rust writes the suger tariff
schedule, in return for campaign contri-
buttons. Heretofore, because they were
,nited and mad trust rules, the RepuDli-
cans could pay their debts to the trusts
without all the world seeing it. Now they
must come out IN the open and say 1--WE
belong to the trusts or they must pass
the House bill.

REPUBLICAN DIsC0RD.
The Outlook For Two Years Ahead is Reported
Gloomy. Party Need Leadership.

Especial Dispatch to the Baltimore
Sum-
Washington, April 2O.-"Not in ten
years has there been a time when the
situation in national politics was 50
threatening for the Republican party IS
at present. We are just preparing to
60 before the country for the election OF
a new House of Representatives APP
parentIy it will be 1890 over again. How
are we preparing for it? We seem to
have no leader. The Republicans in the
House are a leaderless mob A minor
ity of the Republicans there combine
with the Democrats, and that is an end
of party responsibility and party dis
cipline.
Exactly the same situation prevails
in the Senate. There is no leader, and
a few Senators who were elected as Re-
publicans stand ready to form an ALL
ance with the Denocrats-if, indeed,
the alliance has not been formed al
ready-to overthrow the policy of the
administration and bid defiance to party
authority. How is it to end? Unless
the big men of the party come to their
serses it will end in disaster after dis
aster and loss Of the Presidency in
1904
This statement was made today by a
prominent Republican. who was asked
for his opinion as to what the signs of
the times in the party meant. He would
not allow his name to be used out he
spoke with much feeling. His express
sions are only i'm line with what can be
heard whenever two or three leading
politicians get together. On all sides
the gravity of the situation is growing.
Sentiment for tariff revision. Demo-
cratic unity and Republican discord-
that is the situation in a nutshell.
Your correspondent has talked today
with many of the men who. have much
tc do with making the policy Of the Re
publican party. The burden of their
tales OF woe is that for the time being
Congress is in position of antagonism
to the administration, and it is for the
administration to- step in and assert
itself They point out that the Repub-
licans have ceased to have leaders lin
either branch of Congress and that the
Democrats, who have had nc effective
leadership for years, are really moldins
the legislation.

THE EDITOR-FARMER.

The editor of the Wilmington Messen-
ger is accustomed every now and Their
to draw upon his wonderful memory to
illustrate successful farming in North
Carolina in former years. Recently writ
Ing OF Intensive Farming" he showed
that it had been done by the most level
headed farmers in North Carolina for
half century TO his knowledge, and cited
this instance:
''Littlebery Manning, of Halifax, faith
er of the editor of that excellent week
ly, the Henderson Gold Leaf more than
forty years ago made three good aver
age bales of cotton on one acre. He
took the premium at the Weldon fair.
He made the land very rich with home
manures."
Mr.. Thad. R. Manning corrects DR..
Kingsbury as to the time his father
grew this crop-Gt was not forty years
ago, according to Editor Manning, who
could not recolleet so far back)-and
adds:
This writer helped to cultivate that
cotton-and he is not much more'n for
ty years. Three bales to the acre was
an exceptional yield, to be sure, but on
several acres Mr.. Manning made two
bales to the acre. But his was highly
improved and well cultivated farm, but
the land was very fertile and highly pro-
ductive, made permanently rich by home
made manures. And in this lies the Sc
cret of successful and profitable farm
ing-fewer acres cultivated and those
highly MANFRED and we'll worked.
All of which leads us to remark that
when Thad. r. Manning became one of
the best editors in the State, North
Carolina lost a farmer who would have
set a new pace in correct and successful
me. hods of agriculture.
