GOOD ORDER ASSURED.
Special Arrangements for Tickets for
North Carolina Visitors.

Speaking of the football game at
Norfolk, Va. between the Universe
ties of North Carolina and Virginia,
Thanksgiving Day. Mr.. Chas. II. Cat
tis Travelling Passenger Agent of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway, stated yes
terday that arrangements had been
perfected for carrying the largest
crowd to Norfolk that has ever been
handled on a solid special out of Raj
eigh to Virginia.
The publication in Charlotte af-
ternoon paper stating that a circular
had been issued by the Seaboard
stating that the tickets to the Thanks
giving football game were in the
hands of scalpers, was denied by Mr..
Gattis. who stated that it was absurd
to think OF such a thing as seven
or eight thousand tickets being con-
trolled by Norfolk scalpers.
The Lafayette Field Asso, which
has this occasion in hand, is a splen-
didly organized body of prominent
Norfolk gentlemen. who conduct the
field for the sole purpose of promot-
ing the interests of College athletics.
1t has been a matter of record for a
long time that football games played
on the Norfolk field are better man
aged by far than those at Richmond.
The crowd is never permitted to inter-
fere with the game or get near enough
to the gridiron to trouble the teams
This wear the Association is aware
that il has on it's hands the largest
undertaking Of it's kind that has ever
been pulled off in the South, and new
er before has such interests been man
ifested as in this years ThanksglV-
inc game between the two Universi-
ties.
The speciai trains from Charlottes-
vile. Chapel Hill, Richmond. Raielgh
and Durham will alone carry enough
crowd to make the field look alive

with humanity, and besides this spe-
Gals will be run from several other
points, and for this reason the La
Fayette Field Association sent to Mr..
GattiS a large supply of reserved seat
tickets to be sold in advance to the
North Carolinians who wish to attend
the game.
This arrangement has proved most
satisfactory as it will prevent the
necessity IF purchasing tickets in
the awful crush at the gates, and it
has already prevented the possibility
of ScalperS securing any of the tick
cts. and attempting to pawn them off
on the people at higher rates. Extra
ordinary preparations have been made
to take care of the crowd and it is eS-
timated there will be 5000 or more
people to attend from North Carolina
alone to witness the game.
Mr.. Gattis regrets the publication
anywhere of this misleading statement
and is cooperating with the Norfolk
management of the Lafayette Field
Association in an effort to handle the
crowd splendidly and to get the gen
eralf admission tickets and the grand
stand tickets in the hands of the
North Carolinians before the game.
All tickets that Mr.. Gattis has left
over will be returned to Norfolk after
the '20th, as they will only be on sale
at that point after this date.

RAILROAD IN MACON.
After n Quarter of Century OF
Waiting Franklin Sees Signal.
{ Franklin Press. }

(F1dnkIln 1reSS.)
Dirt was broken on Macon county
soil last Monday morning and a force
of about firty hands put to work grad
ing at Fosters store, about ten miles
from Franklin. There are two camps
niw in Macon. One is at Mr.. John
Fosters just this side of the Georgia
line, and the force is grading the last
half mile on the Georgia side be-
tween A. c. Dillard's mill and the
line. The contract has been let from
the State line to franklin to Wright
e Co, the grading to be completed
by August 1st 1906. Wright & Co.
will grade five miles from the line in
this direction, and sub-contractors
will do the balance. 1t is said anoth-
er camp will be established soon near
Mr.. Geo. w. Anglers three or four
miles from Franklin. The grading
has been finished to billiard, Ga. six
teen miles from Franklin, and the
tract will be laid this week from the
Betty's creek treStle to the depot and
it is expected that passenger trains
will be run to billiard by Saturday.
The Press is also informed that
there is a camp at Mr.. NJ. H. Norton S
and a force about ready to commence
work there.
Everything seems to indicate that
the road will reach Franklin by the
1st of next September.

President on his hands. Mr.. Roose-
velt it is we'll known here, would like
to include in his annual message a
recommendation to Congress to con-
slider tariff revision. but Speaker Cam
non thinks he has a scheme to pre-
vent that. He has warned Mr.. RoOse-
Welt that it cannot be done with his
consent. and that if the President does
it anyhow, he will only succeed in
preventing the enactment of any rail-
road rate measure, at the approach
ing session of Congress. In order to
avoid the threatened conflict between
the stand-pat and the tariff revision
members of the Republican side of
the House, until the railroad rate bill
has been passed. it is understood that
the President is considering the ad-
visibility of ignoring the tariff ques-
ton in his annual message, and later
on sending a special message on the
subject.

to make up the committee assign

Democratic representation on com

decline. North Carolina has no po-
sition on either of what is regarded

proposed Federal legislation on rail
