The raise in the price of property for
the site of the proposed union depot in
Durham. as told by The Observers
correspondent. is another eXemplifica-
ton of this failing on the part of some
property owners About ten years ago
the noted inventor, Thomas \. Edison,
came to Charlotte to work out 4 plan
for the profitable handling of the sui
phuret gold ores of this section. He
evidently found 4 process which he
considered Il success. for he finally cast
about to buy i few gold mines. When
this became known the of some
mines he wanted went up" on him TO
what he cnsidered p~rohibitive fig
ures. He didn't have TO buy, so he
pulled out. and what might have been
an important development of the gold
fields Of MeckIenburg fell flat. In the
Durham case. the railroads must ave
the ground. but they have a resort to
condemnation proceedings and to the
courts. 1t is sometimes a mistaken
policy for a property owner to want it

PROGRESS.

The committee from the Bust
ness Mems Club met Monday and
appointed a committee to secure
the right-ofway from Mt. Sterling
to a point on the Lexington &
Eastern. That committee is now
at work and if the property own
ers along the line will do their
part, the line is assured; otherwise
like a production sent to the editor
without a name, it goes into the
waste heap, and Montgomery coun-
ty would be prepared to continue
against freights, be barred
from inviting manufacturers, the
life of stirring city, to our midst,
and be labelled for an even-tenor-
of-her-way. To construct this line
forces the extension oil others, the
terminals of which would be Mt.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN7

On Sunday morning, June I4th,
several gentlemen metonthe street.
The conversation was concerning
the attempt made by MIN Byrd to
murder policeman Smith. The
general admission was that the
case was a bad one; whether con-
viction could be had in case Smith
died was the question. The dec
laration was made by one man
that if Byrd's family would put up
$40, 900, there would be no con
viction. Two men seemed to
think the price was too high and
expressed the opinion that with
S., 600 the acquittal could be &C
complished. One man said that
cases just as bad had occurred in
the town, and that no adequate
punishment had followed.
Now the thoughtful person will
ask, what does this mean1 Can
it be that any man guilty Of MUIR
der can be acquitted in Montgom'
cry county, PROVIDED he can com
mand S., 900? Does it mean that
justice. right, self-resPect, and The
life of men are pnrchasable com.
modities2 Does it mean that there
can be found at the Mt. Sterling
bar a lawyer or lawyers sounscrup
ulous as to pervert justice provid
ed he gets enough pay1 Doe:
it mean that the average jury Car
be swayed about by iiir eiingsi
Does it mean that pictured test
mony is to outweigh facts2 Dee,
it mean that there are lawyers here
skilled andexperienced in fixing
juries before testimony is heardi
Does it mean that our citizens who
compose the juries are men with
out regard for honor; unmindfu
of their duty as citizens; and hi:
sympathy with MURDER
We have heard of and know
something Of the criminal RECORD
Of this county in the past few years
and months, and hearing the
conversation, we are moved to ask
the above questions for the serious
consideration Of our people, and
if possible, so to change the pub
lie sentiment that there will be nc

Accident.

The c. d o. Express, due here at
1912 a. M, was wrecked near Ash
land on Friday morning at $50.
The mail clerk threw a bag of mail
off at Princess. 1t rolled onto the
track in front of rear truck of day
coach, Immediately in front of the
Pullman sleeper. The truck was
torn loose and end of car dropped.
This derailed the Pullman which
rolled down an embankment. There
were 80 passengers in it, some in
night clothes; nearly all were
shaken up and some injured. Pull
man Conductor Robinson had his
shoulder broken.

For the reason that Judge James
Hargis, Of Breathitt county, by
virtue Of his position as Chairman
Of the Democratic party in the
Tenth Congressional District, is
leader Of the Democracy in said
district, and for the further reason
that it is reported and currently
circulated that he is in some way
connected with the lawlessness OF
Breathitt county, without reflect
ing on him in any way or associ-
ating him with the feudists of his
county, we would, for the sake of
the success and dignity Of the
Democratic party. the doctrines Of
which he processes to love and rev.
erence, for the sake Of an outraged,
loyal and law-abiding Democracy,
suggest that he tender his resigna-
ton as Chairman Of the District
Committee. Such action on his
part would inure to his own good
and that of his party. Judge Har-
gis may be as innocent of the re-
Elections named as newborn babe,
but there are Democrats, not a
few, who do not believe it and
who would not affiliate with the
party with Judge Hargis a men,
Der Of the State Executive Com
mittee.
We have been taught to believe
all men innocent Of accusations re-
fleeing on character until proven
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt
and will not vary from such teach
ing now. For the good Of the par
ty and personal interest Of Judge
Hargis we believe it best that he
resign.
