Small Pox Under Control.

The State Board of Health announces
that the small pox out break in the state
particularly in Lincoln, Bristol and vicin-
ity, is fully under control and no new
cases are expected outside of the quar-
antined houses. In this connection the
following editorial from the Ludlow
Tribune, is of interest:
There is a lack of excitement over the
small poX cases in Vermont that seems
strange to those who remember the DID
time panic that used to follow the out
break of the disease. Medical science
has reduced the scourge of small pox to
the level of whooping cough, scarlet
fever or the humps. The diseases that
strike terror today are diphtheria, MEM
%braneous Group and consumption, and
even these are slowly yielding to the adj
vance of science.

2OI,457 Miles of Road.

Show Earnings of 81 S0O,15O,679 for
2OI ,457 Miles of Road.
The report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, just made, gives
statistics of POI. 457 miles of railroads
and gives the following figures for the
fiscal year ending June 80:
''The gross earnings of the railways
for the year ending June 30, 1903, on
the mileage stated were $3.50, 15O,679
The gross earnings for the previous
year, on 200.154 miles, as shown in the
final report, were 81, 726, $50, 267. Passen-
ger earnings amounted to $50S, 6S3, 009
and freight earnings to 81, 1885, 76S, 5Sl
Miscellaneous earnings connected with
operation We're $45, 1893 0S9 Gross earn
ings from operation averaged 1882 per
mile of line. This average is $757 larger
than the average as shown in the COM
plete report for 1902. OF the gross earn
ings per mile of line, S2,525 were as
signable to the passenger service and
$3.50 TO the freight service. The oper-
ating expenses of the roads totalized
81, 24S, 520, 4S3. This aggregate is equiva-
lent to an expenditure of Sc, 1877 per mile,
or of $500 more per mile than was
shown in the complete returns for 1902.
The net earnings thus shown for the
year 1903 were $641, $3.50, 1856. Those OF
essentially the same lines for the year
1902, were $607, 547, 926. On the same

provements charged to income, taxes
(Which were $50, $50, 004) and dividends.
The resulting surplus from operations
was $91, 1929. The full report for
1902 showed a surplus of $94S55, 0SS.
THE dividends declared during the
year ending June 30, 1908, by the rail-
way companies for which returns ap-
pear in the preliminary report amount
ed to 59,310,010. This sum exceeds
that representing the dividends of cor
responding lines for 1902 by $9,5S9, 700.
1t should be understood that the pre-
liminary report, being compiled from
the returns of operating companies
only, does not include any statement
of the dividends that are declared by
those subsidiary companies which have
leased their property to others for OPP

lenge for the Americas cup when the
silver service, subscribed for by the
people of the United States. was pre-
scented to him at a dinner held at Hyde

Consul General. Evans presided, and
in presenting the service, said that it
was unprecedented for such an honor
to be paid a foreigner by the people of
the United States, but that Sir Thomas
Upton had won the golden opinions of
those from whom he had tried to wrest
the Americas cup.
Sir Thomas Upton, replying, said he
was a proud man to be the recipient
of such splendid gift, adding 1T will

HOW TAR HEELS SOLVE
THE "NEGRO QUESTION"
''DisfrancFfise Him." Says Gov. Aycock, "and
Then Let Him Alone"

Baltimore, Dee. 1s.-Cotton bolls,
pine trees and flags Of Maryland and
North Carolina were the principal dec
orations, at the first annual dinner of
the North Carolina Society of Balti-
more tonight in the banquet hall of
the new Carrollton Hotel. Three hun
dred persons, many OF whom were from
distant points, sat at the table, guests
of the society. DR.. Edwin Geer. pres
ident of the society. was POSTMASTER,
and introduced the guests.
Governor-elect Edwin Warfield was
the first speaker and welcomed the
guests. He was followed by Gov.
Charles B. Aycock of North Carolina,
who spoke in part as follows:
II am proud of my state because
there we have solved the negro prob
lem, which recently seems to have
given you some trouble. We have
thereby secured good government un-
der any party and laid foundations for
the future development of both races.
We have secured peace and rendered
prosperity certainty.

ton OF this problem. 1t is, first, as

character is the outcome Of sacrifice
and worth is the result OF toll: that
whatever his future may be the pres
ent has in II for him nothing that is
not the product of industry, thrift, ODE

cannot by resolution OF council or

can do much by work; that violence
may crafty his passions, but II can
not accomplish his ambition; that he
may rarely eat OF the cooking equal

DOCTOR SPENT NIGHT
IN TWO HOTELS.
Went 10 Beds Got Up in Another, and
in the Meantime Lost His Cash.

Went TO Beds Got Up in Another, and
in the Meantime Lost His Cash.
While innumerable queer reports are
made at police headquarters the limit
was reached yesterday when a man who
said he was DR.. w. Churchill Hatcher
of No. TO Union street, Brunswick,
filed complaint with the desk sergeant
and told his story to Detective Frank
Wall.
The physician declared that he had
gone to bed in room As in the Pulaski
House and that when he awoke he
was in room SO in the Screven House.
The queer transfer that was made dur
ing the night puzzled him, but
what concerned him more was the fact
that between the time that he retired
and the time that he got up his pocket
book, containing between $40 and $14,
disappeared.
1t was one too many for the plain
clothes man, although he didn't admit
it. The physician told the detective
that he took one drink before retiring,
and could not account for the fact that
he had occupied two beds in different
hotels during the night. He said
tents recovered by the police, and that
if they were unable to find it, and If
the congressman from this district
could do nothing, he would have his
own congressman recover his proper
ty. The complainant left his address
at police headquarters, so that he
could be notified in the event that the
pocketbook was recovered.
When DIR. Hatcher was preparing to
leave police headquarters to catch a
train for Brunswick, Detective Wall
suggested that if with one drink he
had gotten from the Pulaski House
to the Screven, possibly if he had
taken two he would have turned up
at the De Soto. The visitor evil
IDENTIFY remembered the suggestion
of the plain clothes man and
hunted a saloon after he left head
quarters.
From his appearances several hours
later, however, he had taken more
than one drink, and had overesti-
mated his capacity to a considerable
extent When he showed up at
the Union Station he was visibly under
the influence of liquor, and disorder
ly. Efforts to quiet him were of no
avail, and he was sent to the police sta
ton by Union Patrolman Harley on a
charge of being drunk and disorderly.
If he was surprised when he
found himself in a bed in the Screven
House he will probably be more
astounded when he opens his ewes and
realizes that he is in the Cooler" In
the mean time, the police have dis
carded the How old is Ann problem.
ana are figuring how many drinks the
doctor took before he was given a ride
In the patrol wagon, if with only one
drink he was transported from the
Pulaski to the Screven.
