THE n. c. FLYER.
Crippled Engine is Replaced by Hay
Locomotive That Eats Up Time
by The Hour.

The Southern Railway train going
west yesterday morning reached
Greensboro over two hours late as
the result of attempting to pull the
coaches with q broken down engine;
at Greensboro the cripple was replaced
by a hog freight engine with small
wheels which caused the train to drop
behind schedule time with every reVo-
luton.
AS usual both trains carried many
passengers whose method of travel
ing was limited by their necessities.
There was the usual profanity. OF
course, but the conductors and train
men smiled with the custom of long
habit and experience and when the
hog engine grunted into the Union
depot with the placid air of doing its
full duty that distinguishes the ease
of long delayed prodigal locomotives,
the sun had long since set and the
Raleigh passengers alightcd TO the
cold reception of electric lights and
the rancus calls of delighted hackmen.
While those who were found the mn
measurable distance of the fOrty-fiVe
intervening miles to Goldsboro bought
the soggy fried chicken of the walt
ing room and, gorging their profanity
with grease, curled up with the arms
of the seats in the small of their backs
to endure journey that promised
midnight as its finish
And the hog engine finally backed
away, still complacetn and losing
more time with every snort of its ex-
haust Measured by the time of its
journeys the IN c. Road gives a
quantum for the money beside which
the Rhamkatte vestibule or the Pine
Level cannon ball are in the same
class as d diamond competing with a
Green Stamn ia blc service.

100 POOR ON LIST
County Commissioners
Put Off the Elections.
Action On An Application For Right to
Use Roads of Wake For Trolley
Line TO Durham is Postponed
a Month.

Another day passed in the official
life of the new Board of County Com
missioners of Wake and yet but two
of the offices have been filled.
The board was in session all day
yesterday and transacted routine buS-
mess The only nod in the office elect
ing business was an agreement to elect
a Superintendent of the County Home
on Thursday. Beyond that shines no
ray of light to the Office seekers.
1t is understood to be the purpose
of the board to inspect and investigate
the affairs of the county before TAX
ing steps to elect any officers to have
charge of these. In other words, the
board proposes taking no step in the
dark, looking before a leap is taken.
At the meetings held yesterday the
bonds of a number of officers were
accepted and the oath of office given
these being: j. A. Pope, constable
Raleigh township, $1,000; j. A. Step
hens, constable Holly Springs town
ship, $500 bond; J. j. Howard, con-
stable BartOns Greek, $500 bond; Ma
thaniel Warren, constable Houses
Creek, $500 bond; DR.. T. NJ. Jordan
coroner, $4,000 bond.
Reports were accepted and filed
from DR.. j. j. McCullers, County Su-
perintendent of Health w. c. Allen,
superintendent of County Home, Work
House, Camp and Roads and five

A petition from citizens of Wake
Forest and st. Matthews asking for a
bridge across Upchurch Greek, Smith
field on Fayetteville Roads, was re-
ferred to w. G. Allen to report at the
next meeting. A petition from Pan
Their Branch for a new road from the
road near Mt. Pleasant Church to r.
B. Strains, thence by l.. w. Adams to
the county line, was similarly treated,
as was also another petition from PAN
Their Branch for a new road. matter
that was legacy from the old board.
nj the matter of aid to the county
poor the board agreed to postpone &C
ton as to granting neip to outside
poor till the next meeting. With 100
pensioners on the county it was felt
that careful action was necessary to
get at the merits of cases.
An appeal was received from the
Raleigh and Durham Passenger and
Power Company asking the board to
give it power to construct and locate
its tracks and to run cars by electric or
other power over the public roads of
Wake. Action in the matter was de-
ferred till the next meeting.
Mr.. Holloway. of the road force,
asked instructions as TO the disposition
of his road hands. Having been in
structed by the old board to move his
force to White Oak township and to
complete the line of two miles on the
road leading from Cary to tho Chat
ham county line. He wanted to know
what to do. He was ordered to go to
White Oak and stay there till further
orders, employing hands at rs cents

plies.

To the Editor: l have met and

not endorse the idea of cooperation
on the part of the cotton planters
along the line suggested by this writer
in your columns, two days ago, and
am beginning to receive letters from
out OF the city endorsing the idea and
commencing the plan.

the Commercial and Farmers Bank

chant.

Mr.. Bum, of Wake county. I'VE are

Many others are speaking in like

telegram came from Mr.. e. G. Peters,
of eXas to Mr.. II. 3. Parker, secre-

that farmers meetings would be held

be bought and run at net cost for
the year of $500, provided care and
Judgment were displayed, they should
be within the means OF every
family of the middle class. While APP

After the capture of Vaughn u mob
of negroes quickly assembled They
were wrought UP to a high pitch OF

But one gentleman remarked to me
today that if they began talking about
reduction of acreage next year the
farmers would plant the biggest crop
on record They will pledge them
selves all right, said he but they
will not keep faith with each other.
That is not exactly a libel on the
farmers, but the imputation is clearly
related to the libel family.
No evidence is necessary to disprove
such Il statement, for as a class the
farmers are loyal to each other and
ever mindful Of their honor, bind then
nonor and you bind them. But evidence
is at hand. New and unquestioned evil
dence. They promised each other, in
d most informal manner too, that they
would reduce the tobacco acreage the
American Tobacco Company. 1t has
dScertained the fact long ago.

front end in his fingers. He fur

and let the other fellow take care of

Hold your cotton--reduce next
years acreage. Let this be the slogan
all over the South for forty days and

The leven is working, cooperation
is coming, and it is in the minds of
those who hold the five million bales
of cotton yet unmarketed.
