Oxford, II. G, March 1S.-The sunday

Methodist church here yesterday alter
noon, when the work was organized TO
continue several days. Addresses were
made by the General Secretary OF the
Sunday School Tour Party, S. Nj. Smith,
and By Mr.. n. 3. Broughton. The song
service was led by Mr.. l. H. Meredith,
OF New York.
Thursday evening a large congregation
assembled and remarkably interesting ser
vices were participated in by the teachers
and members of the Sunday school OF the
Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopal and
Methodist churches
DR.. S. ID. Booth made announcement at
the opening OF the services that the meet
ings OF the convention would be discon-
tinued after the close Of the Thursday ev-
ening services on account of smallpox in
the country. One case is now in the pest
house near Oxford and a strict quaran-
tine of the patient and others who have
been exposed to smallpox is kept.
1t was deemede especially important to
forbid large gatherings in Oxford for the
present. as a religious meeting was at
tracing very large crowds of negroes
every night at the colored Baptist church.
Every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent~any more cases of smallpox and no
uneasiness is felt by the peoples of Ok.

Among the Railroads.

| The New York Commercials Baltimore
| correspondent has this to say about the
Northern Securities decision as it bears
on Southern Railways:
Financial circles consider the decision
as ending all chances of combination
of the railroads in the South. 1t is not
considered as affecting the ownership OF
the louisville and Nashville by the At
lantic Coast Line, as these two properties
occupy separate territory and are not
competitive.
Coast Line interests always frowned
upon the talk OF a Wholesale combination
in the South When quoted upon this
proposition they invariably took the view
that the temper of the people in the
South toward mergers was too intense to
undertake such scheme, even if it could
legally be done.
There is community of ownership
now existing from the holdings by large
interest of blocks of securities in both
the Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern
Railway Recent investors in the Sea
board Air Line work in harmony with
these interests and we'll posted financiers
expect that the relations OF this sort will
enlarge to such an extent as to MAINTAIN
harmony without unifying the ownership
of these properties"
The Railway Age says that the outlook
for railroad building Is not as bright as it
was a year ago. Much, that has been
planned has been held up, waiting for fl
nancial arrangements. 69OS miles are now
under construction or contract, and l,'90
miles more of new line more on which
work is expected to begin this year. In
the South Atlantic States work is being
done on 1,426 miles. and 152 more miles
is pro1ectec 307 miles are under contract
in North Carolina.
In the last five years comparatively few
independently owned and operated roads
have been built in this country, and the
same tendency continues to be noted.
But the practical discontinuance of rail-
way construction by new and financially
weak companies, and the decrease, though
not the entire elimination, OF parallel road
building for speculative purposes have
not checked the healthful growth OF our
railway system; On the other hand, have
made it more healthful, for roads are now
built, as a rule, only where the needs OF
the country and the prospects for eventful
support seem to justify. Meantime much
money that previous 70 the era of consol-
idations might have been wasted in build
ing independent and rival has gone into
the improvement of existing lines, so that
both by construction and reconstruction
the established railway companies have
given the country the full benefit of their
increased strength and prosperity and
the railway mileage of the United States
has increased in 10 years from $4,000 TO
nearly 10000 miles, and is still growing.
5,7S5gS miles of track have been laid
from January T. 1903, to December 31st,
1909, Of which 1890 was constructed in
North Carolina.
