MOVING SOUTH

A state census in Iowa shows that
state has lost i'll five years 80, ,491
inhabitants, and yet it is one of he
most fertile states in the country.
The farms lii Iowa are becomi g
larger aud the farmers fewer. Slmi-
lar movem mt had taken place in
Illinois and the other states in the

A farmer who is in dcbt in Iowa,

PEACE THROUGH OUT THE
WORLD.

The keynote OF the preliminary
treaty between Sweden and Norway
is plainly irenic. 1t calls in The
Hage at ev>ry critical point, and a
zone of peace devoid of forts and
other features of hostility is to be e.
tabIished along the boundary line
between the two countries. TO some
extent Norway is disappointed, but
as she gains independence at home
and fereig1 police of her own she
will accept the action oftie conference
and tle two happy aud intelligent
countries will separate to become at
least friendly Scandinavians Gin a
war with a com non enemy" The
preliminary treaty certainlyiooks to
an alliance between the two coun-
tries as against aggression from a
f reign source. Both siksdag and
storthing will endorse it, and
thus Will be settled an international
controversy in accordance with the
humanity and civilization Of the
twentieth century.

WHAT TAFT LEARNED
ROOSEVELT WANTS CON
SULS IN CHINA TO BE LEN
IENT,
Chinese Wishing to Come TO
America Must Get Certifi-
cate From Cur Consular OF
ficers--That Is One Of OBJ
jectiOnable Features.

Washington, O.t. 3.-As result
of Secetary Taf.'5 visit to hina,
where he talked 2llh a number OF
influential Cbir sc citizens on the
problems confronting both govern
ments in c3nnec..oa with the Chinese
exclusion law .tud with the treaty,
which is to bemad President Roose-
Velt has ordered ;nat a circular let
ter be sent to the American censuls
in China directing them to be more
lenient in the i5suancCe Of certificates
to Chinese. AS the law now stands
the Chinese who wish to come to
American must cbHain certificate S
from the Off GERS Of ibis government.
This to the CnIp>S3 is one of the
Objectionable lea.1Fes aud, together
with the bad treatm ent accorded
Chinese citiz8ns b. The immigration
officials and from Cheif p ,int of view
the unjusGness OF the exclusion law,
is partially responsible for tae boy
cott.
A considerable portion of !he time
at the cabinet NEE ing today was
consumed by Mr- Taft III q disc US
sion of the Cn,ne5e boycott. In
y,fh
ness men gave hl-u memorial on
exclusion laws wI-h the req 1est
that it be presented to IresIuent
Roosevelt. This AIr. Taft has done.
The certificate system has many
disadvantages, enc of the greatest
of which is that ii Is baudi 5d care
lessly, opening tne way Tor frauds.
Many Chinese are citizens OF Ge,-
many, France, EuHaud or some
other country, and II is their desire
that passports irom .hss- counties
be recognized by the lmm grafton
officials.
Just who it WIS that started the
boycott has not Uaen established, ac-
cording to all the information Secre-
tary TAFT could get on the subject.
In Hong Kong there was one story
and at other placE there were others.
The Hong Kong sJiutton of the
rather mysterious question is new.
It is that the family of a prominent
Chinese vino had trouble in coming
into Massachusetts caused the move
ment. This m2I had credentials
from Mr.. Choate, then the American
ambassador to Graet Britain. When
he tried to gain entrance to this coua
try he had great trouble with the
immigration people, owing to the
fact that the cert, ticate he held from
Mr.. ChOate was -4oC, in some way,
made out according 10 regulations.
The man went home and his family,
which is powerf-i, stared the autl-

The fact that too frequently it

A. & N. G. RAIL ROAD.

When the Atlantic & North Caro-
lima Railroad was leased to the
Rowland Improvement Company, a
year ago, it was opined that big
schemes of development wee be-
hind the movement, and when
Senator Aldrich, MIR. Marsden J.
Perry and score of Rhcd5 Island
capitalists came down here and
made a trip of Inspection over the
A. & N. G. with Mr. Rowland our
people became satisfied that there,
were big schemes on foot looking to
the development of this road and the
harbor at Beaufort.
soonafter that. trip of inspection
by the Rhode Island capitalists there
was reorganization of the leasing
company, and the road passed into
The hands Of the Atlantic & North

ager, and the work of improving the
physical condition Of the A. & N. G.
r. r it's roadbed, new cross ties,
new steel rails, new steel bridges
and cuivert5, new passenger coaches
and freight cars; "coal burners" &c.
&C. was inaugurated on broad and
expensive lines, SO much so that, in
stead of taking three years in which
to expend $3.50, ose in permanent
improvements on the road, as agreed
upon in the lease, the lessee COM
pany have already-withia one
year-expended $4,000, and have
hardly yet begun; for in addition to
this great sum already expended, the
work of building the steel bridge,
that is to cost a quarter of million
dollars, across the sound at More
head City comm 9nced last week,
and about the same time that this
latter work was inaugurated there
was meeting of Norfolk & South
ern Railroad stockholders in New
York, and reorganization and an
election of new directors of that
company, and the result is most
significant, and should give renewed
enthusiasm to those hereabouts who
have abided in the faith, that the
leasing of the A.&N.C.R.R r.. was the
beginning of new era for Eastern
North Caroliua, one that should
mark uudreamed of development
and marvellous growth.
| It is significant that at the New
York meeting of the Norfolk &
Southern the following were elec' ed
directors of that road: Messsrs. VIM,
l.. Bull, New York; s. II. Colt,
president of the United States Rub.
Der Company, Providence, r. 1;
Marsden J. Perry, Providence, R. I:
Frank S. Cannon, New York.
Mr.. Mars len J. Perry was elected
president of the road, but no change
was made in the position of M. X.
King, who has been the vice presi
dent and general manager of the
company since its organization.
So the A. & N. @. and the Norfolk
& Southern have the same presiden,
and are under the same directorate,
lWill there be a ssconnecting link,
built and a'merger OF the two roads
and big coaliug station built al
