SALISBURY, n. c., July 3.-After
spending severahdays here and at Spencer
the Southern Railway officials, Including
General Manager Ackert, Messrs. cope
man, Higgins, Baker, Collins and others
left Yesterday for their respective posts
of duty. AS previously mentioned IN th.s
correspondence the object OF the Vls'e
of these gentlemen was to determine upon
the plans for the enlargement OF inc
Southern's shops at Spencer. The oiVis,
ions OF this system Tor seNeral tui'ui GU
miles north, east, south and west are
dependent upon the shops at Spencer ior
repairs to rolling stock as we'll as LOT
the manufacture OF considerable machin-
ery. and the increased demands have
made it necessary to increase the capa-
city Of the shops at this point. the plant
will be more than doubled, Mr.. Ackert
saws. and UPWARDS of one thousand en-
ployes will be added. The payroll VIII Dc
increa sed in proportion. Bids VIII be re-
ceiyed on work and material within the
next thirty days and 1t is expected tnat
ground will be broken at the expiration
Of that time.

lost his mind while at church near this

THE PRIMARY.

At a recent meeting Of the City Dem
ocratic Committee the question was raised
as to who should be allowed to vote IN
the Forthcoming primary. some claiming
that the primary should be. held under
the old registration. and others that II
should be held under the new. The mem
bers of the committee seem to have over
locked the fact that the new Constitution
provides that mo person shall vote at
any legalized primary election for the
nomination of any candidate for Office
unless he is at the time registered ana
qualified to vote at the next succeeding
election"
Tho attention Of the committee was
ca,Ied to this provision. and as the COM
mittee had no thought of holding other
than Iegalized primary, at the meeuhs
last night 1t was decided, Of course. to
admit only registered Democrats.
But whether there had been any such
constitutional inhibition or not. 1T would
have been a blunder for the party In
Richmond to allow others than registered
voters to participate In the primary. ana
we are gratifed that the committee mas
decided to hold legalized primary, which
must conform to the constitutional re-
quirement.
We are also gratifed to know that the
primary will not be held until after the
next registration. 1t was stated in our
news columns yesterday by our Leesonfs
correspondent that to make ready Tor
the holding of the Democratic primaries
on August goth. the registration boards
of Loudoun have published dates for mold
ing the second registration under the new
Constitution, so that the registration IN
all districts will close on or before Au-
gust 9th. Richmond has done well 70
pursue the same course.
Last year many people did not under
stand the registration law. and some VINO
we're entirely eligible failed to go up and
register, because they feared that they
would either be rejected or greatly en-
barrassed. They understand better now,
and doubtless most Of the Democrats
who failed to get on the list last year
will take advantage Of the registration
this year to qualify themselves. The reg
istration this year will be held upon eH-
actly the same terms as the registration
last year, and those who register will
get their names on the permanent list.
Those who fail to register will only have
themselves to blame, and cannot reason
ably complain If they are excluded from
participation In the primary But every
Democrat should register and vote. 1t
is duty he owes to himself, his party
and his State.

CIVIC TRAITORS.

The Court Of Appeals having denied d
new trial to John NJ. King. former Az
aerman from Jefferson Ward. who was
convicted Of bribe-taking IN ONCE W.
King will now have to serve OUT NO
s.ntence-a fine of 500 and twelve months
in jail. ).
We would not strike a man when ne IS
down. and we would not say anything

position Of honor and betrayed nus 'russ
But we cannot let the occasion pass
without pointing to Mr.. Kings example
a, a warning to all public officials'
n,,hlic office carries with it grave re-
snonsibility. public official Is pubic
servant. the trusted agent OF the peopie,
and he must in honor be as 1altnlul anu
1oval as q soldier in battle. II Is Us
much the act Of a traitor for puoiis
off,cial to sell his vote or influence as II
4. for a soldier to sell out to the enemy
,nd all right-mlnded citizens so regard IL.
pv+ IN this age of practical politics loo
many people seem to think that II -
not 80 bad after all for member OF Con-
rress or a member of the legislature
or a member of City Council to receive
nav for Services rendered 10 some
man or CORPORATION that asks for 1avor-
ah,e enactment Several years ago
member Of the Virginia Legislature told
n friend that he did not hesitate 10 ac'
cent "fee' from corporation lot
looking after some bill which the cor
norat,on wanted passed. He saw no harm
in accepting money for such services
seeing that he would. in any event, nave
supported the bill!
It was a terrible confession Tor any
man to make, yet there are doubtless
many like him, and we suppose tnat
Alderman King justified his dealings
with the Richmond contractors upon
some such plea.
But 1t Ia plea that Is as false ana
y,c,ons an sin. In most cases the gov
eminent pays an oficeholder certain
wage for his services, in which case MS
services belong entirely to the govern i.
ment, and 1t Is dishonest and disloyal
and traitorous for him to dicker with
those who are seeking the favors OF gov
eminent, and accept pay for the service
he renders them In the case OF CITY
Councilman. however, there is no salary
1t is position OF honor pure and SIM
pie, and men who accept the position
understand that they are to receive no
nav. II they are unwilling to work with
out pay, they should never accept the
Office. 1t is monstrous for men to take
position Of honor and then barter away
the honor for filthy money.
God save tho nation and the State OF
Virginia and the city OF Richmond from
these civic traitors

HOW LONG?

There was another outbreak of lawless-
ness in this city on Thursday night. cars
were stoned conductors and motormen
were shot at, and, worse than all, fend-
ish attempt was made to wreck car With
dynamite. There were men and women
and children on the car, and 1t was no
fault of the dynam!ters that all Were not
blown to pieces, 1t was evidently the In
tention OF the dynamlters TO destroy the
car and all persons on the car, not only
the motorman and conductor, but the
passengers as we'll Indeed. It Is a won
der that they did not succeed in the at
tempt,
II these outrages had been committed
in ordinary times there would have beer
q howl of indignation from one end of the
city 10 the other. and we believe that the
perpetrators OF the deed would have beer
captured. If they are not captured, !
will be a reflection upon the police am
upon the entire city government, Ever,
effort must be made TO apprebend the mis-
creants and bring them to justice. and
Is the duty OF every law-abidlng citizen
OF every brave and chivalrous man in tn
community, 10 aid in the work OF cap
tire.
We said the other day in commentin

eminent was on trial, The city govern

includes the fanciful little stock that is

IsTHE HUMAN RACE DOOMED?

According to T. A. Coglan, the govern
ment statistician of New South Wales.
the birth rate in all the Australian States
has greatly declined, especially In the
last fifteen years, and Is now less than
that Of any European country except
France.
The average birth rate Is somewhere be-
tween twenty-five and thirty, whereas
the rate in France Is twenty-five per
thousand. In New South Wales the chill
dren under five years of age are actually
less in number, according to Mr.. Coglan,
than they were ten years ago, while In
some States there are fewer under ten
years than In 1891.
Recently President Roosevelt startled
suicide" and 1t is question for serious
consideration. AS civilization advances
the birth rate seems to become lower and
| lower, but In new countries the birth rate
is usually higher than In the older coun-
tries where the lands are pretty well
occupied But even In Australia, a COM
paratively new country the birth rate Is
significantly small.
Perhaps this is natures own way Of
preventing the world from being over
run with inhabitants, Perhaps the power
to reproduce In the human race will
grow less and less as civilization adj
vances, and perhaps this will be the Gre
ator's way Of destroying the people Of the
earth. rather than by final conhagra-
ton.

was continued until Thursday OF next
