Worlds Highest Bridge.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth

IScOtIand MOCK COMMUNICATIVE
Passing over the bridge across Ter
River onIthe Raleigh and Castor Railroad
some days ago, Mr.. T. B. Wilder, OF
L~ouisburg. said to the editor OF Tha
Commonwealth that, according to the
statement OF the late Judge J. J. Davia.
that bridge was the highest bridge in
the world when it was built. The Raleigh
and Castor Railroad was built about
seventy years ago, and that was really
in the early days OF railroad building.
There have been long strides in such
work during the years that have lapsed
since then; and th"rc are doubtless many
bridges now much higher than the bridge
that spans the little Tar away up there
in the hills.

WE HAVE AN ENDLESS CHAIN OF BOND
ISSUES?

adopted unless it is clear beyond per
adventure that the will be
sufficient to meet the proper expenses
and provide this sinking fund. And
that cannot be ven approximately
known until the Legislature passes
the revenue bill and machinery act
Governor Doughton is anxious &c
avoid a bond issue, if there is any way
to keep the credit OF the State uniIn
paired without it. He did not intro.
duce his bill until he became salts.
fed that there was no other way open
to meet the deficit and preserve the
States credit. If after the revenue
bill and the machinery act nave been
passed upon, there is any way ou- of
the bond issue, Mr.. D%Oughton will be
as happy as Judge Graham or any
other member Of the Legislature.
The bond issue bill ought to De de
ferred until the revenue bill and ma
chinery act are adopted. Then the
Legislature will do what is pest and
wisest, having regard to the mainten-
ance of the credit Of the State and the
adoption of the best policy for the
State to pursue in the embarrassing
position in which it finds itself.
But if the railroads succeed in
knocking out section fifty of the ma
chinery act and knock out other rev.
enue provisions, and cxtravagant ap-
preparations r made, the question
will not be whether h $500, 900 debt
shall be continued by note or by bond
issue, but it will be certain that this
Legislature will be bequeathing an
other Indebtedness to the next Cen
eral Assembly, and we will have an
endless chain of bond issues. The
State as a whole never was SO pros
porous as now. The State Treasury
never vas confronted with so large
a deficit in ordinary times. If this
Legislature does not provide adequate
revenues to meet all it's appropria-
tons it will fall short OF It's plain duty.
To sum it all up: Pass the revenue
bill and machinery act; make a con-
sentative estimate of what the now
law will bring in and of the expendi-
lures authorized; then-and not till
then-will the time come TO discuss
the question of bond issue or note
renewal.
The man who wants to change sec
ton fifty will be favorfng a policy
that will result in an endless chain
bond tissue because it will exempt
railroads from just taxation.

Until the revenue and machinery

WiSest not to determine which course
must be adopted. If, after the rev

good ground for believing the row

the postofiice department will estab-

burg, giving the city three regular
carriers and one substitute. twenty
four mail boxes will be posted
throughout the town for the conven-

This comes az a relief TO the pub

have been forced to line up in front

postmaster is to be congratulated upon
his efforts and success in this matter

TWO WRECKS

The @. and s. |. Unusually Unfoftu-
nate Yesterday.
The Gulf and Ship Island railroad
came in yesterday for its share OF mis-
fortune in twO-fOld manner. 1t had
wrecks, both north and south.
WRECK AT MOUNT OLIVE.
About a mile and half south Of
Mount Olive the Gulf and Ship Island
work train No. IS had run down TO do
some work and failed to properly post
1agman. An approaching freight,
No, ~, being unaware of the condi-
tiOns was moving ut pretty lively
rate when it came in sight of the
work train. All efforts then eXerted
were useless to prevent the clash and
the two trains clashed together III a
head end collision Three of the crew
were injured, though no one seriously,
it is thought.
WRECK NEAR INEZ.
A wreck was reported near Inez last
night but the particulars could not be
learned. The wrecked train was said
to have been freight. Information
regarding it could not be obtained.

TALK.
Too Much Blowing is Detrimental
TO All Parties.

What has become of the proposed
union depot? 1t was mentioned some
time back as being almost GER
tainty, in fact one official expressed
bis sanction to the proposition. Has
it been dropped because it requires
time? If so Hattiesburg has no en-
viable prospect before it. 1t is the
fastest growing city in the state and
its public industries must be de-
veloped along with the private ones.
The railroads entering Hattiesburg
are corporations of some magnitude
and have matters of far more impor-
lance to them than those presented
here in Hattiesburg, and even
though they should be naturally
inclined toward favoring the city,
there must be some one TO get the
officials of the various roads together
and discuss these points. The board
of trade shonld take this matter up
and as Representatives of the city s
commercial interests push affairs to
a speedy elimination.
1t is believed that the mayor and
board will lend their hearty co-opera-
tion i'll bringing about these results.
Let the matter continue to be agi-
tated until favorable action has been
taken on it. Hattiesburg is con-
stantly growing and needs that union
depot

WATER CRAFT AT FAIR.
More Than Mile of Wide Lagoons
Reaching Around Buildings in
the Main Picture

Electric launches, large electric
barges, Venetian gondolas and large
number Of other small craft will ply
the mile Of water ways at the Worlds
Fair next year. The large boats will
run over regular courses carrying pas
sengers between landings which will
be supplied in various parts Of the
grounds. The lagoons reach every
section of the main picture of the
Exposition, passing by the facades Of
many of the big exhibit places and
offering an unexampled view of the
cascades and fountains. The intra-
mural railroad and the miniature rail-
way do not reach this district so that
the water transportation will be an
attractive means of travel In the
"main picture"
The electric launches will carry
about % persons each; the barges, 20
persons each; and the picturesque
gondolas, with singing gondoliers, will
carry from s to 20 persons each. The
latter will be rented by the hour. All
boats will be equipped with awnings.
Besides these boats there will be
operated a fleet Of water craft of all
nations, including the house-boat Of
China, the Balso Of India, the out
rigger of the South Sea Islands, the
surf boats of Hawaii, the canoes and
dug-outs of the American Indian and
the Catamaran Of Australia. Novelty
boats designed to represent peacocks,
swans, sea serpents and other real and
tabled beings will also be operated.

Must Return to Work.

KANSAS OrrY, Sept. 10. = John
Mitchell, President Of the United
Mine Workers of America, arrived in
the city to-day to confer with the
mine owners and mine workers of dis.
trict No. rs, in an effort to settle
their differences which caused the
strike of 800 miners at Novinger, Mo.
Mr.. Mitchell held informal confer
ences with the operators and repre-.
sentatives of the striking miners from
the time he arrived early this morn.
ing until late tonight, when he gave
an ultimatum to the striking miners
Ia the form Of an order for them to go
back to work In obedience to the con-
tract Of their representatives with the
operators, which contract Mr.. Mitch
ell says, they have disobeyed by strik-
ing, and remain at work until the
scale for the coming year, dating from
Sept. l, can be agreed upon. Presi
dent Mitchell ordered the men back
to work not at the request Of the ope'
rators, but upon his own initiative,
because he believes that the miners
by striking have violated their agree
ment with the operators.

Big Crop Of Hickory Nuts.

hickory nuts in Galloway has been

the best for several seasons, the hick
