Among the Railroads.

The additions to the directorate of the
Seaboard Air Line railway, announced
this morning, promise invincible stability
and vastly increased facilities, success
and power for theN system. The combi-
nation of Rock Island and Eastern in
terests, representing hundreds OF millions
of dollars, is Il tremendous one, able to
defy all enmities and opposition and to
resist successfully any imaginable pres
sure.
1t is not to be supposed that men who
have regard for their own regulations
and personal honor would make them
selves responsible before the public for
statements which they know will be con-
tradicted by events or for promises which
they intend to break. Therefore we can
see no reason for the fear that the Sea-
board will cease to be an independent sys-
TEN or will be absorbed or controlled by
Southern interests. The assurances &c
the contrary given by the directors are
30 explicit and come SO directly from
those in position to know that there IS
no sense in doubling them and no justi-
fcation for doing so. OF course it Is i'm
possible to know what will happen in
the future particularly with a railroad
system, the stock Of which is bought
and sold in open market, but for the
present we think the people of the South
may feel assured that the Seaboard will
remain an independent system and a pow
erful factor in the transportation bust
ness and in the general affairs of their
section and OF the West.

LIFE OF NATHANIEL MACON. by
William Il. Dodd, Phi. D. publishers
Edwards and Broughton, Raleigh, N. c..
1908. PIP. XVI and IA. Price $500 net
Address the author, Ashland, Va.
Sixty-six years haze passed since the
last remains of this most distinguished
and most successful Of North Carolina s
sons were laid away, and yet no biogra-
ply of him, worthy of the name, has
until now been written! Not even a
marble slab commentaries his memory
in all the borders OF the State! And
this too when Macon is everywhere ad-
mitted to have been the most represen-
tative man who has ever gone out into
the world as our leader.
1t is then with feeling of genuine
thankfulness that we greet this careful
and exhaustive biography Of that uni
que statesman. Professor Dodd brings TO
his task q hearty admiration tempered
by a spirit of investigation and love
of truth which could not fail to give lis
u valuable biography. And he has dill
gently sought out the materials of Ma
cons life in every nook and corner where
there was any likelihood of gaining in
formation. He has given Us the result
of his years of labor In a handy volume
of $50 pages.
Macon's political life covered period
of American national growth in which
wonderful changes took place: As young
man at Princeton College he saw the
opening of the revolution, he had share
in the New Jersey campaigns and saw
Washington's little army yield to the
superior numbers of the British; at Il
he Joined General Horatio Gates in his
futile attempt to save North Carolina
from impending invasion; In 1871 he be-
came q member of the North Carolina
Senate and for Ave years did what he
could to put the State upon her feet
again. When the centralzing policy OF
the conservative classes of America be-
gan to plan q closer union of all the
states he Joined Willie Jones Of Halifax
and did what he could to prevent North
Cardinals entering the new union. Yet
in two years he was sent a delegate to
congress, and he remained an honored
member of that body for thirty-seveu
years, retiring then with an unexpired
term of two years at his command
During the first ten years of thl;
period he fought valiantly in support OF
the Jeffersonian doctrines. His co-work-
ers and intimate friends were, after JEFF
ferson, Madison, Gsllatin, John Randolph

Seven years ago the State of Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute OF Chicago charter.
There was need of something above the ordi-
nary method Of treatment for chronic diseases,
something moro than any one specialist or any

and splitting. Catarrh is nuisance
and source of annoyance, not only
to the one who has it, but everybody
else. The thick, yellow discharge
from the head produces feeling Of
personal deflenent, and the odor of
the breath is almost intolerable.
The catarrhal poison brings on
stomach troubles and affects the Kid

soft bones and tissues of the head
and throat, causing total or partial
deafness, the loss of smell, and Civ
ing to the voice a rasping, nasal
twang. No part of the body is secure
from its ravages. Catarrh makes
you sick all over, for it is a dis
ease of the blood, and circulates all
through the system, and for this
reason, sprays, washes, inhalers,
powders and salves have proven
failures.
! The way to cure Catarrh thor
