ENDS SOUTHERN RATE WARS.
Effect of the Deal by Which Control
of the Seaboard Air Line Is Acquired
by the Rock Island and St. Louis &
San Francisco.

RICHMOND, VA, Aug. 1.-THE an
nOuncement of the close alliance be-
tween the Seaboard and the Rock
Island was received in this city with
the greatest interest and little else
was talked of in stock market and
railroad circles
1t was believed that the arrange
ment was not only one of great ad-
vantage to the Seaboard, but to
Richmond and Norfolk us well. The
announcement OF the jump in Sea-
board stock and the cause for it came
as a surprise i'll this city, where many
holders of the stock reside The most
authoritative statement made here.
says the arrangement gives the Sea-
board an entry into st. Louis and
makes a through line from Mexico at
Ell Paso, Texas, to New York, by
way of Richmond, us well rs IL line
to the Atlantic at Norfolk and Ports
mouth.
The election OF new directors, in
GLIDING b. F. Yoakum, president of
the ST. Louis and San Francisco,
owned by the Rock Island, is taken
to mean close working agreement
between the SeabOard and the Rock
Island. 1t gives the SeabOard an
entry into st. Louis, which the South
ern recently acquired by thep purchase
of the Louisville, Evansville and st.
Louis after q long fight.
The SeabOard and the Frisco have
been on good terms for some time
and recently, when the Seaboard got
the right to go on the streets of
Birmingham, President Williams be-
gan negotiations with the Frisco to
give that road entry into Birming-
ham in return for the same rights for
the Seaboard at st. Louis. Thus the
Seaboard secured the rights for which
the Southern struggled for years and
acquired by the purchase of the
Louisville, Evansville and st. Louis.
A question discussed here is whether
j. P. Morgan is connected with the
control OF the Rock Island. 1t is
generally understood that he is mas
ter OF the situation and that the
long war between the SeabOard and
the Southern is at an end. for the
reason that their interests are now
identical. The deal means the elimi-
nation OF competition in Southern
railway traffic and control of rates
by one great company.
The Seaboard, it is stated here. will
maintain it's identity as such without
change OF name or management,
further than the indicated changes
in the directorate. These are de-
scribed as friendly interests

MAY BE LACY.
Strong Sentiment in Favor of Ills Be-
ing Made Chief of the Brotherhood
of Engineers-A Solid Southern Vote
Assured With Great Hopes in the
Eastern and Western Divisions.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
The feeling that State Treasurer
3. r. Lacy is a most eligible man,
and stands splendid chance of being
elected Grand Chief Engineer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS, is growing among men who
know.
His name has been canvassed by
his friends throughout the Southern
Division, and wherever it is mention
ed there is great enthusiasm shown.
So much is this so that there seems
to be practical Welding together of
the engineers of the South for him,
with big chances in other divisions.
Yes" said one of a group of loco
motive engineers yesterday, who
were talking of the matter. 1--WE be-
lieve that Mr.. Lacy is going to win
in the election. The recent death of
Grand Chief P. NJ. Arthur, made 81
vacancy which is temporarily filled
The election comes next May at our
meeting in Los Angeles, Cal, and
every effort will be made to elect him
to the position.
"And we start in with Il solid lot of
votes for him. said another en-
gineer. 'There are $50 votes In the
Southern Divisions and it is practi-
cally certain these will be cast for Ben
Lacy. The men Oh the Seaboard,
the Southern, the Atlantic Coast
Line, the Atlanta and West Point,
the Louisville and Nashville and
other roads are unit for Lacy for
Grand Chief.
With $50 votes as a starter, State
Treasurer Lacy will prove a formid-
able competitor to the other men
mentioned for this high position
| There is in the Brotherhood when it
meets in annual session about 615
| votes. and one quarter OF these for a
candidate with large number in the
field is strong argument for the
man from North Carolina.
The friends of Mr.. Lacy calculate
that from the Eastern and central
roads of the country he will receive q
strong support, with some from the
| West, and the North doubtful Be
sides Mr.. Lacy the four prominent
candidates are George W. Vrooman,
of Nebraska; Herman Wills. OF Iowa;
W. H. Shay, of Ohio, and the present
incumbent, who is from Iowa.
The head office of the Grand Chief
is in Cleveland, Ohio, where he has a
large force of aids, said by some to
| be five assistants and a clerical force
of from fifty to seventy-five The
| position is said to be salaried at
| S. 900 a year
Mr.. Lacy would make an ideal
head for the great order of which he
is a member. He has been at the
throttle and is a fine engineer; he has
| mixed with men, and he is a popular
man; he has held Office, and he is an
| admirable official, as the Commits
sioner of Labor and Printing, and as
| the State Treasurer of North Caro-
| lima he has shown remarkable energy,
| tact and executive ability, which
| would tell were he made the Grand
| Chief Engineer of the Brotherhood
He would fill the position for the
| good of the men. He is cool, firm,
| level headed. He knows things and
he does things. If he is the choice OF
| the order no mistake will have been
made.

Danger Turks at the Bottom.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times
The wanting of something fornoth-
ing has gotten many q man into
trouble. 1t has ended the happiness
OF many a home and filled it with
sorrow, dealing in stocks and in
futures has ended in the ruin of it's
thousands this year, and the end is
not yet. The get-rich-quick idea is
the most dangerous passion that
ever seized a human being. Itcauses
its victim to lay violent hands on
the money and property of another,
converts trust funds into gambling
stakes, makes the figures of the ledger
lie, bruises the hearts and blights the
lives OF the innocent and dependent
ones. The wisdom of the man who
said making haste to be rich meant
falling into a snare is being vindica-
ted in these modern times.

Mob Spirit in the North.
Lumberton Robesonian.

Last week an effort was made by
mobs olynch one negro in New Y ork
and another in Philadelphia 1t
seems that the North is only trying
to do what it has so vigorously and
bitterly condemned in the South.
Such lawlessness is fearful to contem-
plate. 1t matters not whether in the
North or South, but it will continue
until the negro learns his proper
position and maintains it. This
country, developed by Anglo-Saxon
brain and Drawn, will continue to be
dominated by it, and the negro be-
gins to work out his prosperity and
happiness only when he realizes it.

To do honor to his name
And to place a wreath of fame
On his brow.

For the things yOu have to say
May assist him on his way;
Tell him now.
Life is hard enough, at best,
But the love that il expressed
Makes it seem a pathway blest
To our feet;
And the troubles that we share
Seem the easier to bear,
Smile upon your neighbours care,
Az you greet.
Rough and stony are our ways:
Dark and dreary are our days;
But another love and praise
Make them sweet.
Wait not till your friend is dead
Ere your compliments are said
For the spirit that has fled:

Does not need it to speed on,
Our poor praise; where it has gone
Loves eternal golden dawn
IL aglow.
But unto our brother here
That poor praise il very dear,

queer DecOys For Fishing.
CWashingtonPost.)

"Lau melomelo'' Is what the Hawaiian
fishermen call this decOy.
IL is made of the hardest wood to be
found on the islands. and is carved and
rubbed till IL assumes the shape or club
with a little knob al the smaller end, 10
which the line is tied.
The club IS from ] to feet long. A
village sorcerer performs certain rites
over il over a sacred fire. After this Is
done the club Is magic and the fisherman
must be extremely careful of it. If a
woman should step over 1t or enter ca
noe in which 1t lies the club would for
ever lose all its power and be useless ever
afterWard. ..
After the club has been charmed, the
fisherman mikes candlenut and cocOauut
meat. bakes II. and ties the mixture in a
Wrapper of -cocoanut fiber.
AT the fishing grounds the club Is coy
cred with the oily juice of the stuff and
is then lowered carefully 10 the bottom.
The scent of the baked nut meat attracts
certain kinds of fish. which soon gather
and begin TO nibble at the club. AS soon
as enough fish are around the decoy "a
small bag-shaped net Is lowered very
gently until its mouth is just over the
CLUB The latter Is then pulled up care
fully and cunningly till it IS within the
bag. The fish are so eager for the stuff
with which the club is covered that they
follow IL into the net without fear. As
soon a all the fish are in 1t a fisherman
dives and closes the mouth OF the net
whereCpon the rest haul 1t up quickly.

A vac .ion in summer.

A young Salt Laker has just re-
turned from vacation trip spent in
Summit county. He had many adven-
lures and, not being familiar with
country life, found much that was new
to him. He says of it: L had friend
in Woodland and called to pass rev
DAYS with him. He took me over to
the meeting house one night. saying
he wanted me to hear the choir sing.
! like music so l went along. We got
TO the meeting house and L looked all
around for the young ladies who COM
posed the choir. Most Of the ladies
present semeed to be married women,
and / was a triie. puzzled until the
leader of the meeting raped for order
and called out the number of song.
At that hour ten women. all holding
little babies in their arms, who had
been sitting in group in one corner,
arose, tucked the babies carefully I'M
der their arms and, holding the song
books in one hand sang the selection
through. Occasionally one Of the
babies would cut in, but the kids as a
rule behaved we'll, and the mothers
sang in great shape. 1t was the first
time / ever saw children in arms in a
choir but that was nothing to the
grand patriotic pageant on the ma
tons birthday. ] was in Woodland on
the Fourth and. of course, did not miss
the great parade. 1t appeared 1 was
the only stranger in the town that
day, SOFT was decreed that should

First came a band. consisting of three
or four young men with banjOs and

Uncle Sam, etc, followed by school
children. citizens in carriages, etc. II
was a great parade, and 1 liked it.
There was one unusual feature in con-
nectiOn with il, namely. a lack of spec
tators. Every living being in the place
was in that parade, and there was not
