HARDYs COLUMN

Quite a stir is being made over the
postoffice frauds, but it will all be
whitewashed over and the same men
will be given a higher office, perhaps
in one of the island governments. That
is the reward the census suffers got
in this state. Forty or fifty thousand
were fraudulently added to the pop
ulation of this state in 1890 and today
the suffer is stuffed with a highe;
office, and the money he received from
the fraud has never been taken from
him.
The great losses sustained by the
railroad companies during the last
year from floods, fires, hold-ups and
smash-ups will use up large shara
Of the dividends on watered stock. No
one thinks of sending donations to
any losing company. Then look at
the judgments obtained for death, ac-
cident and broken arms and legs. The
road receipts must be sufficient to
meet all these. Then the repairs
needed from wear-outs and rot-ou 3
are not small. .t
It appears that obstinate foolish Co
lombia is likely to thwart the COM
pletion of the Panama canal. That
government seems to be divided in two
parts-loyal and rebels-and each
party wants half the money. We are
inclined to think that Roosevelt would
be justified in exercising little wa
power. If road or canal is needed
through a mans farm he can't pre-
vent it's going through; so a nation
should not be allowed to block the
business of the world. The president
could send fifty or a hundred thou
sand soldiers down there for fighting
or digging.
The month of May, 1903, will go

crops may be medium. ..

MAN OF BROAD MENTAL GRASP.
A. w. TOwsley, the New Division
Superintendent of the Seaboard.

The Raleigh News and Observer
says this of Mr. A. W. Towsley, the
newly appointed superintendent OF
the Second Division of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway, succeeding Mai. F.
X. Huger, promoted to the general
superintendency of the system:
The new superintendent of this d.
vision of the SeabOard is one of the
best informed railroad men in the
South. He is a native of Wisconsin,,
began railroadingin his native State,
rose rapidly and continued step by
step up the ladder until after service
with the Great Northern. the Norfolk
& Western and other systems, he be-
came superintendent of transporter
ton on the Santa Fe System.
When with the Santa Fe, Mr.. Tow
sley was assistant to First Vice
President and General Manager Barr,
who was at that time vice-president
of the Santa Fe. Later, when Mr..
Barr took charge of the management
of the Seaboard Mr.. Towsley came
South to accept the position OF assis-
tant to the general manager of the
Seaboard. In that capacity he has
remained in Portsmouth since Nav,
1901, resigning that position to
come to Raleigh. 1t is thought that
no man stands higher in the estima-
ton of Mr. Barr.
AS a railroad man Mr.. Towsley is
looked upon as one of the most thor
ough-gOing who have ever entered
the Southern field. He was known
in the general offices in Portsmouth
as requiring the best that each en-
ploye had to give in the performance
of duty, and individually he was
known to be the hardest worker in
the service Of the system. Personally
he is broad-minded, liberal and con-
siderate of the men under him, and
he is universally liked by those who
know him best.
