Asheville, \. c., in many respects

From distinctive health resort,
ASheville soon attracted attention as

One of the first public improve

their early stages OF improvement.

which have church homes and large
congregations in the town of Whit

The Baptist church until recently

accepted with regret. AT present this
congregation is without the service of

PLAN TO SIEZE RAILWAYS.
Texas Attorney is Urging Government
To Take Over Lines and Man
age Them.

} Washington Dispatch to The New
York Sun.
IT President Roosevelt sends a mes
sage to Congress urging Congress to
enact a law empowering the Inter
state Commerce Commission to take
charge Of the physical operation of
railroads IN emergencies such as now
exist relating to car shortage, situl-
tl"n will be created that may be very
grave in its consequences. This is
the cpinicn Of public men who are
familiar with transportation matters
and who have been Informed, al
though not on official authority, that
efforts are being made to induce the
president to take this, the most radi-
cal step that has been proposed in con-
nccticn with legislation re :ulating the
railroads Of the United States.
So far Congress has passed laws
regulating only the cost Of transpor-
tali"n. The plan to authorize gov
elnment body to step in and manage
railroads, should the govern ment de-
eide that the carriers arc unable to
manage them, is proposed by Judge
Samuel X. Cowan, attorney for the
Texas Cattle Growers Association
who took a leading part in the move
mcnt that resulted in the passage OF
the railroad rate law. 1t is asserted
on good authority that Judge Cowan
has written a bill carrying out his
ideas and that draft Of the measure
has been handed to the President,
who. in turn, it is said, has submitted
the proposition to the members of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Doubt is expressed here that the Pres
ldent can be persuaded to lend his
name to this revolutionary scheme.

Augusta Chronicle.
Hardly a week passes that The
Chr"niclc does not, by direct effort,
find employment for some young man
or young woman out OF work. In some
way. many of these who are seeking
work seem to regard The Chronicle
office as sort Of employment bureau,
and hardly day passes that we are
not asked to find position for some
one.

the Young man had just arrived; that
he had been engaged in farming all
his life. but wanted to strike out in
the world for himself, and had de-
