the original incorporation of the road
Work was pushed rapidly, both toward
Apex and Angler and the first train was
run to Apex in December of the same
year. and the road was open for traffic
Work was prosecuted on the Angler end
of the road and it was completed to that
place early in 1892 and shortly thereafter
a great celebration was held at Angler
the then terminus of the road, which had
been named in honor of Mr.. Angler, who
had made many friends in his inter
course with the people. After the COM
pletion of the road to Angler the work
of road construction was then discon-
tinued until last year. Mr.. Angler and
his associates, whose primary object IN
building the road had been to develop
their timber interests, then diverted their
attention to marketing their timber and
building up and successfully operating the
twenty miles of road already built. In
these four years there has not been a
serious accident, breakdown or derailment.
In a day noted for railroad accidents, thus
fact speaks volumes for the management
and particularly for the wise and careful
operation of the road by Capt. George E.
Lemon, the efficient and popular superin-
tendent of the road. Popular schedules
have been maintained and the conduct OF
the road has met the approval Of the
people along its line.
1t has been proftably conducted and
paid regular semi-annual dividends to the
stockholders. The freight and passenger
traffic has grown steadily, and Apex, by
reason OF the construction of this road,
has become one of the most important
points on the Seaboard Air Line railroad
Gratifed by the good returns upon their
investment, the owners last year decided
to extend the line to Duke and to Dunn

Especial to News and Observer


Warrenton, n. c., Sept. 24.-Capt. Will
liam ]. White, after a long and painful
illness, passed quietly away at his resi-
dence about p. m. this morning. Capt.
White was about 81 years of age. born
and lived in the town of Warrenton,
where he was loved and esteemed by, all
who knew him. From his childhood to
his death. he possessed many of those
qualities of heart. those noble traits OF
character, which, without aattery or de-
ceit made friends and bound them to the
'hooks of steel
In 1861. at the age of IS years. he was
among the first to enlist in the Confed-
crate army, with soul full of fire ana
devotion for his native Southland, which
never weakened, until its last esplrng
flame was quenched by death. He was
commander of John White Camp of Con-
federate Veterans from its organization
to his death. In all the relations of HE,
as husband, father, friend and citizen ne
was true and faithful, acted we'll his part
and adorned it, with an active, exemplary
Christian faith in all of his dealings and
association with his fellow men, He was
beyond self and always took deep con
Germ and active part in all things tend
ing to the advancement of the interest of
the community in which he lived, and
the State he loves so well. In politics
he was not partisan, but true as steel
to the faith of the South, and the tenets
of the white mans supremacy. He held
many positions of public trust, county and
town commissioner, mayor of Warrentor
and president of the Warrenton Railroad,
which last position he held at his death.
The last mournful duty, will be the laying
by friendly hands his remains to rest,
which will be tomorrow evening at p
m, in Fairyiew Cemetery.

HISTORY OF THE ROAD
The charter was granted in 1891 to Mr..
G. B. Afford, whose idea was to build d
railroad from Apex to Holly Springs He
was unable to secure the necessary capital
to construct the road. In January, 1898,
Mr.. John c.. Angler, being in the lumber
business was anxious to get in touch with
large bodies of virgin pine land. Mr..
Herbert E. Norris, one of the original in
corporators of the railroad, suggested to
Mr. Angler that if he would build the
projected railroad from Apex to Holly
Springs and on in to Harnett county, he
would get immense quantities of fine
timber in a section of fine agricultural
and manufacturing possibilities which
would furnish transportation in paying
quantities after the timber had been cut
and sold. Mr. Angler told Mr.. Norris If
such conditions existed he would build
the road. Thereupon, on the 18th OF
January, 1898, Mr.. Angler and Mr.. Norris
started from Apex and traversed the entire
section between Apex and Dunn, making
a detOur to Ellington and to Smiley
Falls and on to Dunn. They thoroughly
examined the timber lands, agricultural
lands and water powers of all the country
north of the Cape Fear. Mr.. Angler was
so much impressed with the advantages
offered that he returned from the tour
of examination fully determined to enlist
his associates in undertaking the enter
prise. Mr.. Norris, naturally anxious to
see his section of the country developed,
told Mr. Angler that he felt sure he would
obtain the charter of the Cape Fear and
Northern road.
When Mr.. Angler returned from mis-
trip of investigation he made a report
to his associates at Durham and recon-
mended that they all unite in building
the road They were pleased with MI
Anglers full and complete report, acted
upon his recommendation, and decided to
organize a company for its construction
Thereupon books of subscription were
opened and the controlling stock Was
taken by Messrs. B. n. Duke, J. B. Duke
George w. Watts, John C. Angler, j. e
Stage and H. E. Norris. After the stock
had been subscribed the company was
regularly organized by the present owners
| in the spring of 1898 and the following
officers were elected:

A VISIT TO DUKE.

A VISIT TO DUKE.
En- route to Dunn the train made a
stop of half an hour at Duke-the scene
or the operations of the Erwin Cotton
Mills. 1T presents a busy scene. Work is
rapidly going forward building three nun
dred homes for operatives in the fac
torres. They are good houses, too, and
comfortable. Work is going forward rap
idly, too, on the immense cotton fac
tory which the Erwin Cotton Mills Com
pany Is erecting here.
There are two great mill buildings be-
ing erected now, which are joined by the
engine house. One of them is 125x465
and the other is 200x465-pretty Dig build
ings They will contain $4,000 spin1les and
5000 looms and give employment to one
thousand operatives. Work begun on the
buildings last April and it is expected they
will be completed by next April. The
total expenditure here, when the pres
ent buildings are finished will be ST.
GOO, 600. The investment will guarantee
to Duke a population of not less than
$500.
Talking to Mr.. Erwin about it, he said:
eve intend to have a model mill village
in every respect. Our homes, for the
operatives are homes IN the real sense ana
ere well built and comfortable. We are
building an apartment store 100 feet
square The store will be conducted by
a separate company-the Young Merchan-
disc Company. Over that building we will
have a good graded school, We VIII also
have an auditorium that will seat 1900
people We are building eight sections
of storage houses with a capacity FOR
storing 5000 bales of cotton. AS water
supply we are particularly fortunate in
having Avera's creek, which never gets
muddy, abit one mile from the town.
We will erect stand pipe and this wa
ter will be supplied to the mill and to
all the houses in the place.
Asked as to the plans for the future
enlargement of the plant, Mr.. Erwin
said Il reckon it is best to speak only
now of the work we nave in hand. we
have a splendid water power. When that
is electrically developed we will use that
power. At present we are equIDing the
plant with steam. When the water power

In nearly all the great achievements
of human endeayor there is revealed at
some stage of the development some in
dividual who stands out more prominently
as the real genius of the undertaking than
all others combined. This was mamfestly
50 at the Railroad Celebration at the lit
tie city of Dunn yesterday, and John
Cicero Angler was the distinct indiyid
uality of that splendid demonstration. 1t
was in one sense the unveihng, in his own
presence, of a monument of his own
building, concentrating his own wise
judgment, untiring energy and indomi
table pluck.
1t was in the busy brain of John Angler
that the idea of building the Cape Fear
and Northern Railroad was conceived. 1t
was his wise judgment that planned it
and it was his determined vim and energy
that built it. 1t was his unerring fore
sight that penetrated these forests and
swamps of Harnett county. 1t was in his
practical mind that the first surveys were
made, the first profiles fixed, the stations
and industries located, and the entire for
ty miles of iron bound activity planned
and promulgated.
1t was not an easy undertaking. 1t was
hedged about with difficulties and dis
couraging propositions, but the opportun-
ity existed and the man and the oppor
tunity had met. John Angler was the
man, big, brainy, brawny John Angler,
square built, strong and sturdy. He threw
two hundred and forty pounds of muscu-
lar determination into the scheme, he
backed that up with welltrained, well
developed mental force and he reinforced
these with his own money and the money
o. his associates and then with well di-
