THE MAN IN THE TOWER.

Beside the track there's a narrow
tower
Where someone watches Away,
And thousand lives he guards each
hour
Faithfully day by day:
The man who tolls and the million
aire,
And the lisping child he has in his
care,
And the crowded trains rush to
and fro
And the people come and the peo-
pie go
With never thought of him watch
ing there.
Beside the track in his narrow tower
He guards when the skies are blue,
And he peers away through the
binding shower
Keeping the Hateful signals true;
And the man who has more than his
rightful share,
Anu the man VINO mas dreams OF JOY
somewhere,
And the man who laughs and the
man who signs,
And the maid with the loyelight
In her eyes,
Put their lives I'm his hands, all una
ware.
Beside the track in his narrow tower,
Poor, unknown, unsung is he.
Who holds in his hands greater
power
Than an admiral of the sea!
And the man who is bent by a weight
of care,
And the man who has sighted goal
somewhere,
And the men who rule in temples
of trade,
And the mother at home, and the
blissful maid,
Do they think of the debts that they
owe him there?

The Louisville and Nashville
railroad is making a practical
test of an invention of Harry
Swoyer to Tighten the task of
the locomotive firemen. The de-
vice is an ash-shaker, to clean
the furnaces of engines, and if
successful will fill an important
place on every engine of the sys-
tenn. 1t has been installed on a
number of engines, but the final
decision of the railroad as to its
adoption will not he made until
a thorough trial has been made.
Heretofore it has been neces-
sary in removing the ashes from
an engines to punch the refuse
fuel through the bars by main
strength and awkwardness. The
firemen use a long iron poker,
and while they stand as far from
their work as possible, it is often
necessary, in giving an engine
thorough cleaning, to draw so
near to the furnace that the heat
is painful. The invention will
fill a long-felt want. Other rail-
way mechanics are also working
along the same line, and it is be-
lieved that the next few years
will see a remarkable development
in the device, for which train
men have been at a loss through
all the years of locomotive en-
cheering.
Mr.. Swoyer, whose invention
is being tested by the Louisville
and Nashville, is now with the
Roger Locomotive Works, of
Paterson, n. j., but up to six
months ago was the master me-
chanic of the Louisville and
Nashville road. The patent on
his invention was issued to him

THE OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL
DAY.

Yesterday was memorial day in
North Carolina day of sad and
sweet memories. Wherever there
sleeps a Confederate soldier, noble
women gathered to put flowers upon
his grave. No people are truly great
who do not honor the memory of their
heroes.
Heartfelt eulogies were DELIVERED
in many North Carolina towns and
the achievements of the brave men
who wore the gray. The world has
not produced men who surpassed
them in valor or in devotion to free
government. 1t is fitting that the old
should be reminded of the faith and
der and that the young should hear
the story of their noble sacrifice on
the altar of their country.
In Raleigh the address was deliv-
cred by Hon. Theodore F. Davidson,
of Asheville. He was himself one OF
the bravest men who entered the Con-
federate army. He volunteered as
soon as war was declared and he
served until Lee surrendered. He was
of the best type of the mountain sold
Ter, than whom there were no men
who surpassed them in courage or in
devotion to the principles for which
the South went to war. Col. Davidson
paid a tribute to his comrades
in arms, that was as genuine as it was
deserved.
The theme of his address was Cen
eral Robert Brant Vance. The speaker
had been closely associated with GEN
eral Vance from boyhood, had served
with him in war and in peace. No
body knew him better and no man
was better qualified to recount his
services. The eulogy he pronounced
was in good taste, it was judicial, and
free from excess of praise. 1t gave
the measure of the man just as he
was in life. He was fortunate in that
he had as his subject man who
wore the white flower of blameless
life" General Vance was the best type
of the Southern man-brave in war,
true in every relation of life, devoted
Christian. The world needs to read
the biography of men whose trust In
God was as simple as that of child
and whose private life was as pure
as that of the best woman. Robert
Vance was such a man, and the story
of his life as told by General David
son must be a vital factor in the build
ing up of character in the youths of
| this Commonwealth.

property out of the hands of its own
ers when the stock commands twice as
much as it brought four years ago.
Then, if a receiver that suits them can
be named, he can so manage 1T as TO
later on demand the issuance of plenty
of Receivers Certificates, default on
the interest, and swell the floating
debt until the road must be sold UNI
der the hammer. Then the debts made
by the receiver, the bonded debt, the
floating debt, and the repudiated
s134,OOO of outlawed debt with forty
paid before the stockholders get u pen
ny. Under such circumstances, with
no possible bidder except the Allan
tic Coast Line, that system would get
the road at it's own price, and the
stockholders would get NOTHING.
That is the chief inspiration of the
whole Receivership "hellababoo' that
has been kicked up in North Carolina
over the A. & N. C. r. r., and every
step in the matured plans of the men
who control these bonds will be car
ried out soon or late if they can get
receiver and if they can mislead the
public as to their real purposes so as
to permit them to carry out their plan
of controlling the next Legislature.
There's millions in it, to them.
More than that: if the State can be
made to pay the South Dakota bond
issue, the A. & n. c. r .R. bond is
sue, the men who hold the other re-
pudiated bonds will make or find
way to give the State further trouble.
They hope some day to have another
Governor like Governor Russell or
some weak Governor they can use. 1t
was to help forward their schemes
that they sought to make Russell the
Chief Justice of the State. 1t is be-
cause he stands for right and justice
that the hired clamor has been pro-
cured against Governor Aycock's hon
orable course. 1t is because they wish
to further their dishonest schemes
that they are now trying to pack the
next Legislature with men who will
do their bidding.

Memphis. Tenn, May 9.-The first

involved between the Planters Com

roads, and also to hear evidence III
the controversy between the Mem
phis Freight bureau and the st. LOUIS
Southwestern Cotton BelO railway.
The Planters Compress company, rep
resenting the round cotton bale inter-
ests, declare that the railroads should
transport round bales at lower rate
than square bales. y number OF cot
ton compress operators arrived today
and will appear before the commits
sion Distinguished counsel also ar
rived, including United States Sena-
tor a. j. McLaurin, of MISSISSIPPI, TOT
the compress interests, and Hon. Ed

represent the railroad.
The controversy between the Mem
phis Freight Bureau and Cotton Belt
railroad was given publicity recently
when the railroad company withdrew
it's trains from Memphis. The bureau
claims that a discrimination in freight
rates is being made by the railroad
while the officers of the latter assert
if the present tariff is lowered the
company will operate trains out of
Memphis at a loss.
