A MISUNDERSTANDING.

We hasten to assure the Salisbury
Post that it entirely mistakes the edf-
torial in the News and Observer with
reference to the attitude of the peo-
pie of Spencer and Salisbury with
reference to the Esch- Townsend bill.
1t was furthest from our intention to
say that the people there wore any
mans collar or accepted dictation
from railroads. The Post itself is in
favor of government regulation of
rates, and i'm the very issue contain
.ng the paragraph the Post misunder-
stands, was published telegram
from Senator Overman, declaring his
advocacy of rate regulation. More
over, we are informed that the rail-
road employees who voted for resolu-
tions against the Esch-ToWnsend bill
ire opposed merely to that measure,
but not to the principle of rate regu-
lation. We are glad to know that
such is their position, for of: all men
railroad employees best know that
money that ought to go in improve
ments and in wages is often diverted
to pay dividends on stock that repre-
sents nothing but water.

 MI no longer had prospects.
 People could not now point \ \ him out with the remark that some day he would come into a mil lion or two. He had realized as Oliver Harrison would have put it. Two days after his grandfather's fu- neral a final will and testament was read. and. as was expected. the old banker atoned for the hardships Rob- ert Brewster and his wife had endured by bequeathing sl.00Oo0 to their son Montgomery. It was his without re- striction. without an admonitiou. with out an incumbrance. There was not suggestion as 10 how it should be han dled by the heir. The business training the old man had given him was synon- ymous with conditions not expressed h the will. The dead man believed that he had drilled into the youth an unmistakabIe conception os what was expected of him fin life. If he failed In shese expectations the misfortune would be his alone to bear A road had been carved out for him. and be- hind him stretched long line of guide posts whose isconlc instructions might be ignored. but never forgotten Edwin Peter Brewster evidently made ht will with tbe sensible conviction that h was necessary for him to die before anybody else could possess his money and that once dead it would be folly for him to worry over the way In which benefcisries might choo~e to manage tbeir own adain.
