AMONG THE RAILROADS.
Here is business for the Corpora

Here is business for the Corporation
Commission as stated by the Chat
ham Record: 1.-The afternoon train
on the Pittsboro railroad last Tues
day, due to reach here at O'Clock
did not arrive until 4 o'clock Wednes-
day morning. The delay was caused
by a box car loaded with cotton seed
meal leaving the track about a mile
and half before reaching Moncure.
Fortunately the train was stopped be-
fore the passenger car could leave the
track and thus prevented what might
have been a very serious accident. The
last three or four miles of the road
from here to Moncure is said to be in
a terrible condition, as is evidenced by
the fact that two or three accidents
similar to the above have occurred on
this portion of the road in the last few
months
1t is significant of q growing public
sentiment against liquor drinking that
the use of intoxicants by railway en-
ployes is being more and more strictly
forbidden by the railway companies,
One of the new rules promulgated by
the New York Interborough Company
absolutely exclude from employment
any man who drinks intoxicating Ii
ouors This is in the interest Of the
travelling public, and the rule should
be rigidly enforced.
Mr. Hunt, Division Passenger Agent
of the Southern at Charleston, thinks
he will be justified in recommending
the running of a through train from
Kingsville, S. c., to Marion, which will
in effect be n through train from
Charleston to Marion, since the prop
err connection can be made at Kings
vilIe.-Shelby Star.
The track of the new road has been
laid to the Fisher Ferry road beyond
AID Fouts', z, distance OF about three
miles. An average of one and half
miles a week is being laid. AT that
rate Denton will be reached about
the 18th OF July-Thomasville Times.
More miles of railroad will be con-
structed in North Carolina this year
than ever before in any previous
year. Two new roads will be built to
Durham, one from Apex and one from
near New Hill.-Chatham Record.
There is GOOD promise that the Sea-
board Air Line Railroad will give us
a morning passenger train to Char.
lotte. which will return in the after
moons Shelby Star.

taken by each voter in registering his
ballot averaged less than one minute,
and the election officials were unable
to keep up with the machine, Within
the first hour fifty men voted.
The polls closed at 4 pm, and as
soon as the returns had been telephoned
to the city hall there was a wild race
in autos and other. conveyances with
the tabulated returns themselves. John
S. fillmore of New York, eastern rep
resentative Of the Dean machine, who
was in Minneapolis yesterday, took the
policeman on duty at his polling place
into his auto in order to prevent posi-
BILE interference because of violation of
the speed limit, and started for the
city hall. While not giving any de-
tails Of the trip, Mr.. Fillmore admits
that they event some.'
At this test election it was conclu-
sively demonstrated that the rubber
band trick recently worked on vot-
ing machines in California, will not
work on the Dean. A committee en-
deavored in every way to tamperz with
the machine by means of rubber bands
and all sorts of other contriYances, but
without success. The Dean machine is
the invention of James FL. Dean of st.
Paul, and has been on the market for
six months. 1t was Colonel R. F. Her
sey of st. Paul, who was largely in
strumental in developing the machine

"A Remarkable Achievement.

After being subjected to the most
trying tests, the Dean ballot machine,
manufactured in Minneapolis, carried
off the honors in the recent test cleo
tion held in Chicago for the purpose
of comparing the work of different
voting machines. Within thirty sec
onds after the polls closed the Dean
machine reported its first results, not
only beating it's six competitors, but
breaking the record in Chicago. The
next machine to report came in two
and half minutes later and the last
to file its returns was twenty-nine min
utes behind the Dean machine.
The Dean machine was stationed in
the thirty fourth precinct of the seven
teenth ward, at Chicago Commons, $50
Grand avenue, Professor Graham Tay-

this precinct are almost without ex-
