The recent election on the whskey
question in Roxboro by no means is con-
elusive that our people are in favor of
open saloons The fight was precipitated
at an unfortunate time when many who
would have voted dry were disbarred
from voting on account of failure to pay
poll tax, while the saloon men doubtless
fearing the question might come up had
carefully prepared their forces by, seeing
that their poll taxes were paid before
May 2nd. Also there was a feeling that
the traffic should not have been closed
out so suddenly without giving the sa-
loon men an opportunity to dispose OF
their stock, and some of our best people
who otherwise would have voted dry

A Wonderful Cure Made
i'm Greensboro.

/ am deeply grateful, Mrs. Person,
for what your Remedy has done
for my little boy. About four years
ago, after an attack OF measles, he
broke out with eczema and suffered ter
ribly for two long years, as he was
sore from head to foot The only parts
OF his body that were free from the
trouble Were the palms of his hands,
and the bottom of his feet At the end
of the second year he began to
get better, and the third year he got
almost entirely well, until he took ma
larlal fever. Then the eczema broke out
on him worse than it had ever been.
He again became sore from head to
foot, and he could not walk at all, but
creeped around on his hands and feet.
He was in such agony he would pray to
die. | was worried to deaths for he had
been doctored by the best of doctors,
and no one could do him any good, and
/ never expected anything to cure him.
One whole summer the only way he
could get out at all was for me to put
a pillow slip over his head with holes
cut for his eyes, nose and MOUTH, as
a protection from the fes and gnats,
and his clothes would have to be
changed two and three times a day.
He often said he wished he could die
and get out of his suffering. If l had
seen him in his coffin | couldn't have
suffered for him any more than / did,
and | have shed many tears for my little
durable and at night --e would itch and
scratch until | didn't know what to do
for him. We tried every thing we could
hear of, but to no avail
When we heard of Mrs. Joe Persons
wonderful Remedy, we did not care~ to
try it, as we did not have much faith
our just giving it atrial. We bought
bottle and tried it, kept on until we

will find anywhere. ! used a package of

that MIS-. Joe Persons Remedy and Wash
is the best medicine in the world. We
used the Remedy and Wash regularly on
our boy for six months, and although he
is entirely well, we are still giving it to
him, as we feel it is safer to do 50, and
will continue it for some time yet.

What was probably the final Durham
depot hearing took place before the Cor
poration Commission yesterday morning
at half past eleven o'clock
The result of the meeting was the is
suing of the final order by the Commits
sion, calling for the building of the Union
Station, as follows:
"It is ordered by the commission that the
Union Passenger Depot at Durham be To-
Gated north of the present main line of
Southern Railway tracks, with entrance
or exit on or near Church street, leaving
sufficient space between south platform of
depot building and main line to permit

ence in Union Depot matter 1t has not
that Southern has served notice of appeal.
The Seaboard has been from the day the
order was entered and is at this time pre-
pared to carry out the orders of the Com
mission in good faith and it cannot accept
any part of the responsibility for any de-
lay in this connection Let Commission
fully understand position of Seaboard."
Most of the time of the conference yes
terday was spent in a general discussion of
the proposed plans. Col Andrews submit
ted the picture of the depot that was on
exhibition in Durham for long time,
and also blue points, showing the plans
of the various rooms, platforms, ETC..
Col Andrews said they were ready to
go ahead with the work on oMnday.
The plans call for building 1876 feet
long, with platforms TO- feet wide at each
end In front will be a platform IS feet
mail room, general waiting room, one for
each race, ladies' parlor, gentlemen S
smoking room, toilet rooms, baggage
room, ticket, office, vestibules, telegraph
office, etc. The tower will be six stories
high, with a clock A lawn will be in
front of the building.
Mr.. Biggs said yesterday afternoon that
he did not think the Southern Railway
or any of the other roads would offer any
further opposition to the order of the
commission. The plan suggested by the
Southern had been accepted, subject to
such changes as may be found necessary
by the commission at meeting to be held
on September 18th. In the meantime the
other railroads will examine the plans and
make such suggestions as may seem desir-
able

Among the Railroads.

The Supreme Court of South Carolina
has disposed of a railroad case that has
attracted considerable attention. The case
was Duncan against the Southern Railway
for charging excess fares, tried before
Judge Bennett in Barnwell county, in
which court the railroad company won,
the plaintiff appealing to the higher
court. The decision of the Supreme court
was that railroads have no right to
charge excess fares of persons who get en-
the trains without tickets. Heretofore in
that State railroads have been accustom-
ed to charge passengers twenty-five cents
when they failed to procure tickets. 1t
is Objectionable to railroads for conduc-
tors to receive cash fares. and for that
reason the twenty five cents excess IS
charged, but a rebate check is given and
the twenty-five cents refunded to the pas
senger by the agent of the company upon
the arrival of the passenger at the des-
tination. 1t is claimed that the custom
is in violation of the law limiting the
rate of fare to three cents per mile.
