Passing over the bridge across Tar

road some days ago Mr. Z. B. Wilder,
of Louisburg. said to the editor of
the Commonwealth that, according
to the statement of the late Judge

est bridge in the world when it was
built The Raleigh & CASTOR Rail
road was built about fifty 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

bridges now much higher than the
bridge that spans the little Tar

FINANCES OF THE SEABOARD AIR
LINE.
Washington Times.

Washington Times
The annual report OF the Seaboard
Air Line for the fiscal year ended
June 20, 1902, has been issued. 1t
shows a surplus equivalent to 1 per
cent. on the preferred stock and l
per cent. on Uncommon stock. Com
pared with last years report there
is shown a reduction of S3,9O3,3I6
in the cOmpany's liabilities. Within
the year 81, 129,262 was spent for
equipment Out of the earnings, ST.
OS6,6S6 was spent for maintenance
of equipment and 81, 2S2,32S for
roadway and bridge equipment and
maintenance.
With this statement, is a revival
of the gossip that the Seaboard Air
Line is to pass into the hands of the
Frisco Line Concerning this the
New York Evening Sun says:
''It is suggested that Frisco will
eventually secure control of the Sea-
board Air Line The inspiration OF
the gossip may be the mere physical
connection between the two roads at
Birmingham and a liberal magma
ton, but inasmuch as this had been
talked of at various times, vaguely
and as a possibility merely, it has
not been dismissed summarily as en-
tirely improbable.
Frisco is at Birmingham, the CEN
ter of a rich manufacturing district,
and in getting there it executed q
| bold stroke toward developing its
system.
although opposed to it at first,
| Frisco consented to the SeabOard
getting an entrance into the town,
and an agreement was perfected be-
tween them some time since by
which the Seaboard obtains some
valuable trackage right. 1t is known
that Frisco has a very laudable am

not at all content to stay at Biz

used in connection with Rock Island,

far from improbable.

For an example of the "insolence
of office" behold the Hon James f.
Boyd, Judge OF the United States
Court of this district. He doesn' t
want a court held at Wilkesboro be-
cause he doesn t want to work in the
hot month of July, and for the addi-
tiOnal reason that the hotels at

to entertain his honor. Judge Boyd
is just little too uppish forcommon

to magnify his dignity is foreign to
him. He knows he is safe for life
