being displayed in clearing titles to

surveys, apparently, are being made in
the mountain section and there is con-
siderable doubt as to whether there is
any longer a real purpose to push oil
to the coal fields. The part now in
hand meets with no engineering diff
.culties and the cost per mile will be
very light.
1t seems entirely probable that the
section of the Norfolk and Western

now in hand is to parallel will need 70

ON JOHN BLUES RAILROAD
they Are Building UD a Town, Grow
ing Cotton and Developing the
Country-Raeford a Thriving Vii
l3ge.

III. Butler in Southern Pines Tourist.)
Down at Aberdeen, a little town
three or -four miles below Southern
Pines, lives John Blue. He is fxeI to
this region by a long line Of ancestry,
perhaps dating back with the days
when the Scotch settlers came to The
Cape Fear Valley in 1749 after me
downfall of the hopes Of many of theta
at the defeat of Culloden. John Blue
built a little railroad out into the
pine woods. He hauled lumber into the
town and turned 1t over TO the Sea
board Air Line to go north. The pro-
ject thrived, and he pushed it to Fay
ettevifle. 1t opened a virgin country,
and | guess it is making John Blue com
Portable. But it is doing more than
that. About half way down the line
a lot of these Tar Heel natives set
I'D a little town. Some more of hem
planted cotton fields. They cleared up
the land in a way that would make
you think you had dropped down into
a corner of Kansas Or Oregon, except
that the climate and water here beat
Kansas and Oregon to a finish right at
the start. Farm after farm has de-

Blues road, and it is nearly all as new
as a pink baby. The man who las
a few ~bales~of cotton TO sell in the
fall for forty dollars a bale has some
business to do Ill town. So Raeford
has sprung up to give him a chance.
Now if there is anything on earth like
Raeford, | have it yet to see. The town
has one street running across the rail-
road. Midway of the street is the pub
lie we'll, an institution in the south
Raeford is fresh and modern. The
homes are pretty cottages with plenty
of porch room and paint.
Raeford is different from the ordina-
ry new town of the north. Up there
the first thing the plan of lots is treat
ed to is the destruction OF the trees.
In Raeford the man who had a house
to build picked his lot, or got it in
some way, and he then cut out enough
trees to permit the building room to
stand. He left the neble pine and oak
trees, and the result is out Of the Or
binary. You ramble about through
the primeval forest, passing from a
clump of trees with it's house and gar
den to another clump with another

line of the town is merely where he
last house is encountered. The streets
appear to run about where anybody
wants them to run, and where the pic
turesque effects are most striking. Rae
ford, the way the COW walks over the
hills here, is about a dozen miles Or
so from Southern Pines. and as an at
tractive spot it would make the Yen
kee town hustle if Raeford wanted to
go into business of catering to he
northern visitor. But just now the
new town is too busy getting itself
built and marketing the cotton raised
and looking after the wants OF the
planter to bother with folks who do
nothing but stand around and ask ques-
tons and pay board bills and play
whist.

MIR X WILL
About Sixty Thousand Dollars Given
For Religious and Charitable Pur-
Doses-The Balance Divided Among
the Family.

Durham, n. c., May 12.-Late yes
terday afternoon the will of the late
Washington Duke was probated and
today the full details of the will were
given to the public. Messrs. B. n.
Duke and J.. b. Duke are named as
executors of the will and trustees OF
the estate. 1t is learned that the true
value Of the estate will be something
more than a million dollars. The value
will be shown when the inventory list
is filed.
There are quite a large number of
beneficiaries under the will. To some
thirty-odd nephews, nieces, grand ne
phews, grand nieces and other kins-
people he left $1,000 each. This is TO
De distributed as early as the trustees
think proper. To educational. benevO-
lent, religious md other like organiZa-
tons the following behests were made:
North Carolina Methodist conference
$10.0OO-S5.OO0 each to home missions
and to provide a fund for taking care
of the aged and infirm ministers of the
conference.
Western North Carolina Methodist
conference S10,OOO-S5,0OO each to
home missions and to provide a fund
for taking care of the aged n infrnl
ministers Of the conference.
North Carolina African conference
and the Western North Carolina Afri-
can conference of the Methodist church

Watts hospital, Durham, $4,000.
Oxford Orphan asylum, $1,000.
Methodist O~rphanage, Raleigh, 3d.
600.
Kittrell Institute, colored, $1,000.
AN IDEAL ARRANGEMENT.
Then there is set aside i'm trust thir-
teen per cent. of the entire estate, this
to be divided at different times until
the youngest heir has reached thirty
five years Of age. Thirty per cent. of
this trust fund goes to 3. n. Duke, a
Ike amount to 7. B. Duke. Twenty
eight per cent. of the trust fund goes
to BrOdie l.. Duke, and the remaining
twelve per cent. goes to the heirs of
Mrs. Lyon, the only daughter, who
died a number Of years ago-these be-
ing Mrs. Mary W. Stage, George L..
Lyon and Buchanan Lyon. These funds
or a portion of the funds are to be
held i'm trust. For instance: The b.
L. Duke twenty-eight per cent. of the
trust fund is to be divided so that Mr..
Duke will get half the fund during his
life. The remaining one-half of this
fund will go to his children, the SONS
to get One-third each at twenty, TWEEN
ty-ive and thirty years of age, and the
daughters to get One-third each at
twenty-five, thirty and %thirty-fve
years of age. In almost every division
of this trust fund there is a different
provision. The fund is so held that
his sons and grand children will al
ways have something coming to them
to provide against reverses of any kind
in the future.
The two executors and trustees of
the will and estate qualified late yester-
day and some facts regarding the will
were known last night, but today the
full details are given to the public for
the first time.-Special to News and
