RAILWAY a GREAT DEVELOPER
Essential in the Progress of Any Live
CITY.

Undoubtedly, the deadest city to be
found between the two oceans is the
modern city without street railway.
and while Americas ia not in the list
of the dead or even the badly wounded,
there is no denying the fact that a
street railway would arouse and de-
velop her latent enterprises as would
nothing else.
The electric street railway is enc of
thu greatest inventions of modern
times. Away back yonder in the 3O's
1me time, the f EST passenger car for a
street railway was used in the streets
of New York city.
The history of street railway devel-
opment is interesting. The growth of
the business tremendous.
The Census Bureau has issued a vol
luminous report concerning street rail-
ways in the United States, which con-
tains much valuable data. Street cars,
pulled by horses, had been in use about
forty years before the cable system
was invented in 1878.
This was not only decided advance
IN motive power, but it worked a revo-
luton in the street railway business.
In 1885 the cable system began to give
way to electric power, and at the pres
ent time the use of the cable car is con-
fined almost exclusively to three large
cities. In several instances even the
steam railways have introduced cleo
trio motive power on their lines.
The report proceeds to say that
among the changes wrought by street
street railways are these:
They have encouraged the distrlbu-
tion of population and thus have re
duced the evils of over~crowded and
uusavory surroundings.
They have given a powerful sjmpetus
to suburban life, not only for residence,
but also for manufacturing purposes
Thay have had marked influence upon
the value of land and upon rentals and
building operations, for every extern
sion of an electric railway line into
new territory increases the selling and
rental values # real estate in the i'm
mediate VICINITY.
They have made possible the con-
Venient aud economical location of man
ufacturing and commercial establishs
ments and concentration of retail and
wholesale trade and office business in
specialized centers.
Five cents is the universal rate of
fare for the urban lines in the United
Statee, although more than one-third
of the companies offer lower rates un-
der certain conditions. Some compa,
MES give reduced fares to working men
during certain hours of the day and to
school children going to and from the
schools.
According to the report, statist 'cs
show that in 1902 the street and electric
lines of the United States carried more
than seven times as many fare psssen-
gers as the steam railways.

AN ATTACK Is MADE
UPON A CITIZEN.
Was Called From Residence
At Night.
ATTACK IS MADE BY NEGROES
DR.. Logan is Summoned Upon a False
Enand and Attacked Late at Night
BY Negroes Shoots at His AssaiI-
ants, Who Escape.

Brief particuIa rs of a dsstsrdIy st
tempt upon the life of DIR. A. J. Logar,
prominent physician of this county,
reached Americas yesterday, and as q
result of this reported crime three ne
groes are under arrest and may be
jailed here.
Trait DR.. Logan was not killed out
right is possibly due to the fact that he
was armed and, when attacked with
rails by his assailante, quickly drew
his pistol and opened fire.
The crime was committed at late
hour of the night, near his home.
DR.. Logan was aroused from sleep
by call at his front gate ami, respond
ing thereto, was told by negro that
Mr.. Guy, neighbor, was vary i'll and
had sent for him Without hesitation
DIR. Logan hitched his horse to the
buggy and was on the way.
But he had not gone far ere he Dire Va
into the ambuscads arranged by his
assaliants.
Springing from the dark woods, arm
ed with clubs and raile, they attacked
the doctor in his buggy. Several of
the blows landed, and DR.. Logan was
more or less bruised.
Quickly, however, he drew his pistol
and shot two or three times at the man
nearest him. The shooting, and attack
upon the buggy, caused the horse to
take fright and go plunging down the
road. The negroes did not follow up
the at ack.
Their attempt at murder and robbery
had failed, and finding that DR.. Logan
was armed they withdrew and took to
the woods.
DR.. Logan proceeded to the Guy
home, only to find that he had not been
called there at ALL This fact proved
very conclusively that the scheme was
concocted to get him from home on q
pretext and then rob or murder him,
perhaps both.
Yesterday morning three negroes
living in the neighborhood, and who
are suspected as being tbs perpetrators
of this foul crime, were put under ar
rest and are still being held. If the
evidence against them is sufficient it will
not go easy with them.
This is the second attempt of that
identical nature made in that neighbor-
hood recently, two young boys driving
in buggy at night having been beaten
with rails in the same way.
