Among the Railroads.

The Southern gets lots of reyerses.
But it is able. The people who get
killed and their relatives are the ones
to be pitied.-Greensboro Telegram.

Editor London, OF the Chatham Record,
Gays: THE States railroad from Colds
boro 8 Morchead has been greatly Inn
proved under the presidency OF Hon.
James A. Bryan, both as to its physical
and financial condition. The roadbed Is
in better condition than ever before, and
the trains are better equipped and travel
more rapidly
The May statement of the Seaboard
Air Line shows that the fiscal year OF
the company will produce gross earn
ings of well over S12,00O,0O0. This state
ment indicates that liberal expenditures
for betterment continue and that the
charges against operations for this pur-
pose are larger than last year. While
an increase in gross earnings OF over
500, 900, or 9.5 per cent, is shown there
is an increase in the cost Of operations
Of about Is per cent, making a decrease
in the net earnings for. the IL months OF
3.4 per cent.
1t is a pleasure to the editor to an
nounce through the efforts of Judge Ora
ham that the schedule over the Seaboard
Railroad has been so changed as to be
of great benefit to the people living along
the line OF the Durham and Northern
Railway On and after Thursday, July
9Th, the Oxford train will leave Hender-
son, extra, daily except Sunday, at 7:45
and Dickerson at S:45 a. M, connecting
with the train for Durham and arrive at
Oxford at 9:15 a. m. TO accommodate pas
sengers from Durham, Buchanan, Creed
moor, Tar River and Clay, allowing them

superintendent White, Of the Mt Airy
and Eastern Railway, exhibited in our Of
flee Friday a number of Photographic
views showing the wreck and ruin along
his road caused by the awful floods in
Patrick a few weeks ago. In some places
bridges were gone in other long embank-
ments, with the iron and ties. had been
swept away, entaiing great loss. In one
scene, where bridge had been carried
off on the bosom of the high water, a car
can be seen lying bottom side up some
forty feet from the point where a long
fill had once stood. But, Mr.. White. as
everybody knows is plucky He went to
work Immediately after the storm and in
a remarkably short time had his trains
making regular trips to the head Of the
road.-Mt. Airy News.
The preliminary survey of the proposed
railroad from Pittsboro to Greensboro i
completed and the surveying party re-
turned to headquarters at Gulf Mr..
Spence Taylor who has been on the sur
vey, returned home on last Monday and
says that a good route has been secured. /
The chief engineer and his assistants viii
now make out a profile OF the route and
prepare estimates as to its cost. The com
pany wishes to make connection here with
the Seaboard Air Line system and il
would be great benefit to our town If
we could have union depot. This can
BE- had if the right-of-way can be secured
through our town. If this can be obtain
ed it is probable that the construction
wlh begin here in short time and be
actively pushed on to Greensboro before
the road is graded from Gulf to Pittsboro
1t would be great help to all the sur
rounding country if the company's shops
could be located here.-Chatham Record
