 The company was started in Februa- ny, 1904, with a capital stocwk of $1OO,0O0. It is said that most of this stock is still in the treasury.

SUMNER REST.

We are glad to know that the board
Of aldermen Of our city have refused
to sell Summer Rest the old en-
campment grounds on the sound, espe-
cially for the paltry sum Of two thou
sand dollars which has been offered
for it. The city paid much more than
that sum for the property some years
ago, and it is surely much more val
liable now thar when purchased by
the city. If it is tic be sold at all let
it be divided into building lots and
sold to persons who will improve the
property by building handsome sum-
mer cottages and thereby increase the
beauty of our seashore resort. We are
sure such purchasers could be easily
found. Were the city to take this
course it would max a good profit On
it's investment and at the same time
add to the Importance and notOriety OF
our summer resort. 1t would be a
pity to let this property be taken off
the market and be closed for years
to come to improvement or the use OF
persons who would use it for the i'm
proving and identifying of the
Wrightsville Sound resort which is so
rapidly acquiring prominence far be-
You'd as we'll as within the borders OF
our state as the leading summer resort
on the South Atlantic ~seabOard. To
the aldermen we would say do not
sacrifice the interests of the city and
of our seashore resort in order to get
in hand a couple of thousand dollars
of ready money.

NEW RAILWAY SCHEMES.

There seems to be big things in store
for our state in railroad development
in the near future. All the lines seem
to be anxious to reach the southeastern
~seacoast- We are told that the South
n West road which is rushing it's
construction through the mountains. is
to have an outlet on the seacoaSt in
this part Of the state. The Raleigh and
Southport road is looking toward
Southport as its southern terminus
n now the Durham and Southern
road. which is in operation from Dur
ham to Dunn-Aas increased it's capital
stock one million dollars. is said to-
have in contemplation the e~xtension'
Of its line to some point in the eastern
section. The Carolina and Northern|
road, now running trains between|
Lumberton, n. c.. and Marion. s. c.
it is reported, will extend its line tol
Charleston on the south and Fayette-|
vile on the north. The fact that the
Seaboard Air Line has ordered fifty
miles of heavy steel rails to be used
OF it's Wilmington and Hamlet -divisionl
is considered to indicate that some inn
pOrtant developments at this end of
its line are contemplated. There is mo-
doubt that the year 1906 will be an i'm
portant one in railway development
and extension in this state. There are
some big schemes being planned and
developed. We hope our section will
get its share of the new construction
and we feel confident that it will.

UONTrS FOR
| How to Smoke Without Running Risk
of Producing Cancer.

A Chicago dispatch says: Don't
smoke more than three cigars a day
Don't go beyond two pipefuls Of To-
bacco a day if you smoke a pipe"
Don't hold your cigar OF pipe con-
stantly in the same part of the
mouth"
Beware of damp tobacco; it often
contains glycerine."
These "dont's' addressed to the
man of average strength and normal
nerves were voiced by Chicago sur
geons in discussion OF cancer Of the
mouth or throat, caused frequently by
excessive AMI careless smoking.
The occasion Of their talk is the
case of Frederick l.. Power, an actor,
who has just submitted to an opera
ton removing a large part OF his ton
que to check a cancerous growth.
While it is not asserted that tobacco
is the cause of his illness. cases
similar to his in which nicotine was
&C least a contributory cause were re-
called.
The case of all cases cited by sur
geons as illustrating cancer caused
by tobacco is that of President
Ulysses S. Grant. He was known as
one of the most constant smokers IN
public life. When the cancer develop
ed it was at once ascribed to this
habit.
DR.. William A. Sem, a recognized
authority on tumor and cancer, said:
Cancer in the mouth is not neces-
sarily caused by the use of tobacco.
Cancer. as far as science has revealed
it. is due t O a constant irritation In
a. certain spot. For instance, TIE
man who smokes a dozen cigars a
day. or as many cigarettes, is apt to
hold such cigar either on the rlghI
or left side of the mouth. This IA
turally causes irritation in just a par
ticular- place, and in some cases,
should there be any suggestion OF
sign of cancer in the system, 1t Is
likely that the growth would be at
tracted to the spot where such irrlta-
ton was caused"
Another Chicago physician, con-
nected with the relief department OF
a large railroad company, said
Every smoker should be aware
that with his tobacco he obtains nc
small proportion of water. Dampen-
ing tobacco in order to keep it from
becoming dry, is a custom as olo as
the hills. but the u~p-to-date metnoc Is
to use %glycerine. This gives out an
intensely irritating vapor. In b cas-
of a n l hold the cheap tobacoos
of today play an important part. Taken
in some forms %glycerine is a stimuli
liant. but it's effects are extremely IN
furious and it has been known to pro-
duce insanity and partlai
paralysis of the brain. Smokers can.
not to too careful in their choice OF
tohacco."-Wilson Times.

Sad Fate of Ex-Consressman Lassiter's

Petersburg, Va, January Mrs.

ter Of John McGiH, a prominent to-
bacconist Of Petersburg. and wife of
ex-Congressman Francis Rives LASH

this morning.
Major LaSsiter her husband, left
home last night for Emporia, Green
Vile county, on business, and about
midnight Mrs. Lassiter, as was her
custom, went to the bath room to take
a bath. The bath room is Il small
one, and in it was a gas heater, and
the %supposition is that Mrs. Lassiter
was either asphyXiated or overcome
by the heat and tainted while in her
bath tub. Mrs. Lassiter was in her
usual health, and there was to have
been today a family reunion at the
home of the parents OF the deceased.
Mrs. Lassiter, who was 80 years OF

DOUBLE TRACKING OUR RAIL-
ROADS.

We see from the Charlotte Chronicle
that the Southern railroad is busy
double tracking its road between Char
lotte and Greensboro. The work Is
being pushed with great energy. In a
short while that section of this big
Southern railway system will be
double-tracked. AT the same time
similar work Is being done between
Greensboro and Washington city. This
work is the result of increased tIatHc
over this railroad.
What the Southern is doicG along
its line will o have to be done by
the other roads traversing the south
ern states. There are parts of the At
l2ntic Coast Line which SHOULD have
double tracks. With its present bust
ness a single track II not sufficient for
the traffic it handles. and its business
is increasing rapidly. 1t will soon
have to come 10 the double track yer
many miles of its system. Public ne
cessity will force it 10 do SO. j viii
involve an immense outlay of money,
but it must be done and the railway
vii be stating in it's own light If l.
does not make this improvement. II
it cannot haul its passengers and
freight over a single track road it
would be suicidal policy not to put
down a double track, and the officials
of this road are noted for keeping up
with the demands of the times. We feel
sure that as 500 as they realize that
the time has come when the interests
of the road and of its patrons require
that it shall be double-tracked the Or
ders will come from headquarters that
such shall be done, and h work will
be done quickly. Such additional out
lay for permanent improvement may
for a while reduce the dividends Of
the stockholders, but it will greatly en-
nance the value of the stock in the
company and eventually increase its
yearly profits. With the wonderfully
rapid development of the territory
tributary to the Coast Line the double
tracking of parts of it's line are sure
to come in the near future and the
soOne it M the better it will be
for the owners of stock of the company
and for the patrons of it's lines.
