offended and went away, but returned
shortly afterward with a Winchester

EXAMINER REPORTS A STORY OF A HILL
AND HARTMAN JOINT
LINE.

The San Francisco Examiner of a
recent date publishes further state
ments tending to indicate that there
is concealed, in the peace negotiations
of Hill and Hartman, the ultimate
construction Of road which shall be
used join tly to permit N. P. cars to
reach Weiser and o. S. L. cars to
reach Camas Prairie. The Examiner
says:
Railroad officials and the San Nan-
cisco shipping community are greatly
interested in reports to the effect that
Hill and Hartman have patched up G
peace by which Hill agrees not to
build into Oregon, south Of Portland,
and California, Nevada and Utah, and
Hartman is to let Hill alone in the
Pacific Northwest. They are jointl.
to build the Clearwater extension il
Idaho. Hartman is also not to in
terfere with the Hill administration
of the Burlington road.
This reported agreement is consid
cred true by prominent Southern Pa
cific officials and it leaves the situa
|
tion exactly where it was before Hill
and Hartman had trouble over th
Clearwater line and later over th
Northern Pacific. Several years ag

it was an unwritten law in railroad
circles of the Pacific Northwest that
the Hartman and Hill lines should
not interfere with one another. This
agreement lasted from 1897, when the
Union Pacific bought the oregon lines,
until late in 1900. 1t was not really
broken until Hill captured the North
ern Pacific and used it and bis Great
Northern to buy the Burlington in
1901. Harriman's losing fight to get
control of the Northern Pacific and
thus influence the Burlington is still
fresh in the public mind.
The present situation In the North
west is not now difficult to understand.
Hill is in absolute control of the three
roads mentioned, along with j. Pier
pont Morgan. Hartman has to face
that fact, bitter as it is to him, and
he is not in any position to fight Hill
up north for fear that the latter might
build into California. In agreeing
to maintain the statu quo, Hartman 9
friends think he has done the diplo-
matte thing with Hill, because it will
leave him free for several years at
least to face the Gould invasion Of
California with his new Western Pa
cific road

mon thing to see bicycle with sal
going before the wind for 30-mils
spin down the coast without touching
a pedal-and the railroad brings the
bicycle rider and sail safely home at

ing nearly drowned by the breaking o.
a bridge over lake, and the next day
they went out boating, and in being

away. They were nearly drowne

Hard Beach of Thirty MiIes--A
Perfect Race Course for

Automo bling is the fad at the Flori-

beach, skirted bS waving palms and
warmed by the soft breezes Of the gull
stream, is populous with the modern
Nhorseless carriage" darting to and fro.
Every kind of automobile is here, from
the single seated steam 'runabout"
to the electric 'tallyho.'
This year the residents seem to be
specially auto mad" for, not content
with the ordinary methods of applying
power to wheels, they have invented
speed appliances applicable to all kinds
of machines, even going so far as to IT.

manner of the northern .ceboat, or to

spondent, ano when Que takes into con-
sideration the admirable adaptability
of the beach to automobiIing one can
somewhat understand the origin of the
new fad. Nowhere in the world can
one find a more perfect road for the
speedy automobile. There are no hills
or rocks to fear, no gullies to break the
springs and throw you out, and no mar
row, congested thoroughfares full of
teams to disconcert you.
Even the most timid Of cbauffeurs
finds courage enough to run his motor
at the highest speed from end to end
of the natural highway-the paradise
for wheelers-the beach. From Day
tona to Ormond the beach is 500 feet
wide and 80 miles long, and as smooth
and hard as floor. SO hard is it that
the great tallyho, capable of seating
so persons, hardly leaves its wheel
mark to indicate the places over which
5000 pounds of throbbing machinery
has passed. 1t is an ideal race course
and the place where worlds records

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself. and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifestS itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, tiatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness. leucorrhma.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result.
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia Z. Pinkham's Veg

tention there Is no question Of doubt
that results will surely follow.
To show the great necessity ana
demand chat North Carolina has for
this idle labor one need only refer to
the Seventeenth Annual Report Of
Commissioner of Labor and Printing
Warner. for the year 1908. In this
report. average table No. shows that
out of the % counties of the state
one county (Madison), labor abund-
ant: six counties. viz: Bladcn, Bun
combe, Caswell, Mitchell, Robson aud
Swain, report labor plentiful. while
the remaining ninety counties of Inc
State report labor scarce. The report
further shows that the negro labor IS
unreliable in every county except one
brunswick.

on this subject, as l have dwelt "a
considerable length already and
furnished facts that are sufficient 10

great need for legislation, and with
on. this there is nothing 10 be ac-
complished. If the General Assembly
fails TO enact legislation along this
line then the agricultural interests OF

North Carolina will be compelled 10

gress while other States are looking

this Kind. and arc making great adj

Then if II does why should it not be-
