JUDGE w. r. ALLEN.
Ranks Among the Ablest of the
States Superior Court
Judges.

1t is with great pleasure and graft
fcation that we copy the following
comprehensive and accurate estimate
of our learned townsman and
esteemed friend Judge w. R. Allen
from the Public Ledger, of Oxford,
the home of Judge Aliens mother
and therefore this high compliment
must be the more gratifying to him,
who has always been noted for his
filial devotion:
eve have known but few judges
who, in our opinion, were SO we'll
equipped for the high position as
Judge VIM. r. Allen, who has held
the last two terms of Granville Su-
perior Court. In this opinion we be-
lieve both the people and the bar
concur, as he is very popular with
both. He has well-balanced legal
mind. His thoughts and expressions
are never ''muddy.' His mind is
strongy clear and coherent. His die
tion is finished and yet plain, so that
rybody understands him. He
never tries to make a show of his
learning, but always goes straight to
the mark, which is true, we think,
of the really good jurists.
He has a mind of his own because
he knows the law. While on the
bench he seldom refers to the books,
but seems to have the law at ready
command from memory. The editor
was especially impressed with his
charge to the grand jury. Every SEN
tence of it was clear and impressive
and could not possibly be misunder-
stood, and yet there was no needless
repetition. His charges to the petit
jury were comprehensive and cover
ed every point OF the evidence and
were made without the use of notes.
To both sides he was eminently fair,
as all the attorneys of our bar will
agree.
His demeanOr on the bench is al
ways dignifed and becoming. While
never severe, he maintains the best
of order in his court. He does not
have to ask for order, but commands
the respect which always secures it.
Perhaps his strongest quality is
that he thinks for himsel and allows
no influence to sWerve him from the
course Of justice. While this is true
he is never unkind or harsh to attor-
neys or others, but is glad to give
them all a patient hearing. He is
sympathetic, but at the same time
believes that crime must be pun
ished.
Judge Allen has number Of rela-
tives in Granville, this county being
the home of his mother, and also a
large host of friends and admirers.
He will return to this county again
to hold court just before his term of
Office eXpiees. We shall ever enter
tain for him the highest esteem and
respect, as will the ar here and the
| good people CT Granville county.
With his high character and splendid
equipment we believe that the future
holds in store for him still greater
honors, and in our opinion he Will
adorn the Supreme Court bench.
In what we have said of our dis
tinguished friend of the county of
our birth we have not aimed to be
fulsome in our praise of him. We
have only tried to express our honest
opinion.

TWO HARD CASES.
A Man and His Wife Found Guilty
of Selling Whiskey.

Deputy Marshal P. A. Mitchell,
of Raleigh, was in the city Friday
with several convicts who were SEN
fenced by Judge Purnell at the Fed
eral Court in Newbern last week.
Among the prisoners was an old
une-legged man named Joe Harrison,
who was being taken to the Federal
prison at Atlanta, Ga. He had been
sent to Federal prisons twice before
for selling whiskey without license
in Beaufort county. His wife and
two small children were here with
him to-day and the group made a
picture that was not pleasant to con-
template.
The wife was also sentenced to 13
months in the Nashville, Tenn,
Federal prison, but on account of her
condition Judge Purnell suspended
Judgment and the good people of
NeWbern contributed the money to
pay the cost and to pay her way back
home.
She was going along with Deputy
Marshal J. A. Potter, who was TAX
ing two other white men to the
| county Jail in Washington and one
negro to GreenVille.
The saddest part of the scene came
| when old man Harrison hobbled out
to the train with his baby in his
arms to tell his family goodbye
perhaps for the last time, as he will
| probably not live to complete his
. sentence.

UNIVERSAL PROSPERITY.
Many Orders Placed for Engines and
Cars and Few Roads Were
Pecuniarily InsoIvent.

The record of the year in car and To-
connective building is nearly equal to
that of last year, when all previous
records were surpassed. The necessi-
ties of the railroads are more clearly
indicated by the orders which have
been placed for new equipment than by
the number of cars and locomotives
actually built during the year, since
the latter figures are merely a state
ment of the capacity of the various
building concern
The Railway Age has compiled from
its weekly record a statement showing
that during the year 1902 orders have
been placed for the building of 1S5 900
freight cars. 400 locomotives and q
700 passenger equipment cars of the
various classes, including baggage,
mail and express. The figures have
been corrected and additions made by
the officials of the roads concerned and
by the manufacturers, and are present
W III loi lCoBOHhiIS l0toiu
published by The Railway Age on Jan
uary 3, 1902, showed totals of 1873, 900
freight cars, 4,340 locomotives and g..
$40 passenger cars.
The low water mark of railway bank
ruptcies which was reached in 1901,
when only four receivers were appoint
ed, has scarcely been raised during
the past year, only five companies be-
ing placed under receivership on ac-
count of insolvency in 1902, and these
succumbing to difficulties of long
standing. No road of any importance
has failed to meet its obligations.
Only twenty-five roads, a%ggregating
1870 miles out OF the 100000 miles of
railway in the United States, are now
being operated by receivers on account
of failure to meet their obligations.
The only important road in the list,
the Terre Haute & indianapolis, repe-
sentlng 432 miles, including leased
lines, is controlled by the Pennsylvania
and could be restored to the company
il the stockholders so desired. This
deducted would reduce the insolvent
roads to S3S miles-a wonderful
change in a few prosperous years.
The record of foreclosure sales also
shows rapid progress toward complete
reconstruction and %solvency. In 1902
there were sold and recognized eigh-
teen roads a%ggregating 693 miles and
representing a nominal capitalization
of nearly sac, 00O, 900.

SATISFIED.
Superintendent Gaunt Denies Report
of Contemplated Strike.

The following dispatch was recently
sen out under a Topeka date line:
THE Order of Railway photographers
which has been successful in gaining
concessions from a number of rail
roads lately is preparing to make an
effort to secure an understanding
again with the Santa Fe system. The
Santa Fe has been a non-union road as
far as the t~elegraphers are concerned
since their strike in 1899. After the
strike General Manager Nudge said
that he would have no dealings with
the telegraphers' organization as long
as The officers then in charge were re-
tanned. Since then President Dolphin
of the telegraphers' union has been su
perseded and the operators think they
now have a chance to present griev-
ances."
When asked about this matter, Su-
perintendent c. II. Gaunt, of the Santa
Fe telegraph department said: 81 have
not heard of any negotiations between
the Santa Fe t~elegraphers and the Off
Gals of the road. Neither have | heard
that there is any dissatisfaction among
the operators. If there was any move,
ment OF this sort going on, | would
probably know something about it,"
The Santa Fe t~elegraphers, so far as
known, are or good terms with the
officials, but the union has no standing
says the Topeka State Journal. There
are, however, a great many union men
employed by the road in the telegraph
department.
Some time ago the Santa Fe com
menced taking back into its employ the
telegraphers who were frozen out al
the time Of the big strike. This policy
mas been continued, and there are now
working for the Santa Fe a great many
men who quit when the strike oc
Cured.
None of the leaders, however, have
been taken back, and it is learned from
reliable sources that none will be

They are on the blacklist so far as the
Santa Fe is concerned. 1t is quite nat
ural that the Santa Fe should not want
to harbor in its employ the men who
we're responsible for so much expense
and trouble a few years ago.
II is, of course, possible that some of
the old union employees who are back
on the road are trying to make trouble,
or there may be a bona fide effort on
the part of some of the union men to
secure a friendly understanding be-
tween the company and the union. But
Superintendent Gaunt denies that
there is anything of this sort on foot.

PETITIONERS WILL WIN.
Believed That San Bernardino Will
Get New Hospital.

A telegram from San Bernardino,
dated January 3, says:
The Santa Fe coast lines hospital
board will meet next week at Los An
geles. There are several important
questions to be decided at this meet
ing. First of these is the location of
the new coast hospital.
There is little doubt as to where the
new hospital will be located" said a
local man yesterday, who is familiar
with the workings of the association
THE 700 employees at San Bernardino
want the new hospital there, where it
will be of use to them, and in San
Bernardino it will be located. You see,
lne employees support the association,
in fact they are the association, and
money they pay in every month is for
its support and their accommodation,
so they have a good deal to say about
where and when their money shall be
spent. The men are represented by
delegates from the ranks in the coun-
ellis of the association and these are
in sufficient numbers to control the sit
uation. 1t is impossible for the Santa
Fe to get along without a hospital here
and there need be no uneasiness about
the question of the burned building be-
ing replaced"
The board will also arrange for the
rebuilding of the burned albuquerque
hospital. The general impression
among members of the hospital asso-
citation here seems to be that the ruins
of the old hospital will be cleared and
the new building put up on the same
foundation. The new wing of the
burned building can undoubtedly be re-
paired and made fit for use at small ex.
pense and this will probably be the de-
cision of the board.

NEW RAILROAD.
Grading Contract Let on Line Between
Cochise end Naco.

Grading Contract Let on Line Between
'Cochise and Naco.
r. r. Coleman, of Prescott, has Sc
cured the contract for grading the rail
road between Cochise, on the Southern
Pacific, to Naco, on the FL Paso & Bis
bee road. The new road will be called
the Cananea, Pacific & Yaqui road,
and will cover a distance of some
e~ighty-five miles, and will open up a
rich section of Cochise county, Arizo-
ma, which has heretofore been ~inacces-
sible. and will greatly increase the
value of some properties which were,
although very rich, improbable to
work, on account of very expensive
transportation.
Active work will be commenced next
week and the construction of the road
will be pushed with vigor.
The line of the road will extend from
Cochise to Naco, passing through
Pearce and Turquoise, with branch
lines to Bisbee and Douglas. For the
past month ties and other supplies for
the construction have been arriving at
Cochise. until now it is calculated that
there is enough there for the construc-
ton of the entire road.
The rumor of the road being con
structed has added an impetus to
building at the towns at the terminals,
and it is calculated that real estate
values have nearly doubled since the
certainty of the carrying out the pro-
ject has been assured.
