Received Payment From Government.

Horace Williamson, of View, and
Richard +. Pickens, Of this city, re-
Gently received payment from the
government for horses taken from
them by the Union army at the close
of the civil war, over forty years ago.
These soldiers we're paroled at Wash
ington, Ga, after Lees surrender at
Richmond, Va, and given their
horses aud side arms, but on arriving
at Chattanooga, Tenn, their horses
were taken from them and turned
aioot. The government paid them

while it comes late is a very neat
little sum for each to receive.

CINE of fast freight train, the body
of a steer struck X. j. Goodwin,
who was on a horse close by and
knocked him and the horse into the
waters Of Canaan creek. Goodwin
and the horse both we're drowned.

of cattle to his farm near Four Mile.
As he reached the railroad crossing
near Ferndale the train approached
at a rapid rate of speed. The cattle
were on the track and the train plow-
ed its way thru the bunch. Mr..
Goodwin was not on the track and
seemed to be out harms way. The
heavy engine picked up one Of the
steers, however, and threw it high
into the air. 1t fell against the
horse on which Goodwin was riding
and both we're thrown over the en-
bankment into the creek. which was
swollen from rain.
Mr.. Goodwin was drowned and his
body was taken from the creek about
half mile below where the accident
happened. Goodwin was formerly

IN VIEW OF LOWER RATES.
President Finley of Southern Claims
That Reduction win Conflict With
the Public Interest.

New York, Jan. 16.-In circular
addressed to the public served by the
Southern Railway company issued to-
during the last II years the company
has expended or contracted to expend
500, ,4S2, ,945 for improvements.
He adds:
THE company has been and still Is
hampered by two conditions-one is
the large amount of fresh capital re-
quired; and the other the difficulty
of securing adequate and efficient Ia
Dor, Of promptly getting it's construc-
tion work done, and of obtaining the
rolling stock, rail and other material
essential to improved facilities.
One of the greatest needs of the
south is that its railroads should have
additional track. No matter how
many locomotives and cars may be
available. it is manifest that the num-
ber which can be moved is limited by
track capacity. The work of proyid-
ing the necessary additional track will
require a vast output of capital. How
it is to be provided is everywhere a
matter of grave concern to railroad
managers. 1t cannot be obtained
from current operations of the. proper
ties. 1t must be borrowed"
President Finley then states that the
management will provide such addl-
tional facilities as may be required to
meet the demands Of business. he
concluded by declaring that with the
great increase in expenses for material,
labor +ayac and DenaltieS for damage
claims and with the just demands of
better facilities and greater safety in
operation. it must be apparent that
reduction Of revenues in the way OF
lower rates must conflict with the pub
lie interests in these large questions of
better facilities and greater safety.

It is hard TO say which is the lesser
of the two evils-dope Or liquor drink
ing. We are inclined, however, to agree
with the Greensboro Industrial News
in what it says:
The legislature has tackled the
dope proposition, and well it r

lRere is certainly more danger in
the dope habit being acquired by
the young men of today because of
the responsibility that is thrown
around the places where it is served
The dope dispenser has the advantage
of the whiskey dealer in that his place
of dealing out the deadly drug is con-
sidered more respectable. High toned
men and constant church attendants
deal out the dope in their drug stores
men who would think themselves dis
graced were they seen taking drink
of whiskey or beer in a saloon-yet
they are creating in the young men
whom they serve an appetite more
deadly-anyhow equally as deadly as
that acquired by frequent visits TO the
liquor shops.

An UndcrorOund Water Supply,

A day or two ago workmen, prepar-
ing to install the heating apparatus in
the basement of the handsome new
National bank Of Fayetteville, corner
of Market square and Hay street, came
squarely upon a tough proposition.
There was water, plenty of it, COM
ing from somewhere, and it became
necessary to find the source before the
heating plant was fixed. Digging down
two feet deeper, they came upon a
we'll or spring, and there it is now,
sending out volumes of water, and a.
such depth below the pavement that
a conduit pipe, running below the
sewerage system, will be necessary 70

What are the powers that be iii the
democratic party going to do with
those four democratic members VINO
voted against Senator Simmons for
denomination? Did you ever hear Of
such rank INSTRUMENTATION? The News
and Observer should at once cancel
their commissions as members of the
legislature and read them out OF the
democratic party We never before
heard of such temerity on the part
of men who called themselves demo-
crafts. Those four men were little
versed in party ethics and were igno-
rant OF party principles. The idea of
their having the effrontery to advocate
the nomination for senator of any
other man than the one who had been
endorsed by the elmer circle of party
managers is startling. 1t is enough to
take away mans breath just to
think of such a thing

days and to syn1pathize with them
also. He is Il noble man. He fought

WILMINGTON, n. c.
FRIDAY. JANUARY IS, 1907.
THE OLD NORTH STATE.

The Messenger heartily endorses the
bin of, Senator Webb, of Buncombe
county, increasing the salaries of the
members of the state department,
From the governor down no one Of
the state officials receives sufficient
salary. The state of North Carolina is
able to pay her servants better salaries
and she should do SO. She cannot get
good men to serve her unless She pays
them proper compensation for their
labor The time was when present
salaries sufficed to support the men
elected to the state Offices. but that is
a thing of the past. The cost OF liV-
ing has 50 greatly increased that
the men now chosen to fill those offices
cannot support their families on the
salaries paid. The state should not
ask men to make financial sacrifices
in order to serve the state; the state
should remunerate them for their ser
vices, which it does not do at the pres
ent rate of salaries. Our governor s
salary should be such that he could,
out of the salary. entertain handsomely
and take his position among the lead
ing men in official positions in the ma
ton. He cannot do this on the small
salary now paid him.
The trouble with our people is that
they do not realize the position this
state holds or should hold among the
states of the union. North Carolina
should stand near the head of the col
umn of states. One of the chief among
the thirteen original states, the lirst
to declare independence of British rule
she should have the brightest star in
the galaxy of American states That
she is not conceded that position by
the other states is because she has
been too bashful to demand what is
due to her or too Indifferent to her
just claims. Her people are too proud
to insist on the recognition which she
: deserves or too careless in regard 10
her past. records is the cause
We will not say, but leave it to the
people to decide. ~ 49,

There were numbers of with
drawals of candidates for various
offices in as many parts of the State,
who had been elected to the second
primary contests. With one accord
they had excuses, some plausible
enough, others susceptible to sus-
picion, but all accepted by the ex-
ecutive committees and the remain
ing candidate left in undisputed
possession of the nomination. If
there is any tinkering with the
statute this will probably be one of
the subjects legislated upon. The
Attorney-Genera has given an Off
cial opinion that the third candi-
date in the first primary, In case of
withdrawal Of one of the two fore
most. has no standing in court, y
and there is nothing in the way of
one of the successful first primary
candidates selling out to the other
if agreeable to both. The law is

bribery in all other features but we
are not conversant with its pro-
visions on this particular point.

Secretary Taft made a speech IN
Oklahoma last week in which he
roundly denounced the constitution
recently adopted by the new State
and now in the hands of the Presi-
dent for approval. The burden of
his objection to the instrument
seems to be the manner of laying
boundary lines for legislative and
congressional districts which is
claimed to be inimical to Repubi-
can interests, and at least affords a
pretext for holding the constitution
in hand until after the presidential
election.

then introduced and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, our beloved county
bears the name of the first Governor
of the State of Mississippi, and has
since the year 1888 helped to elect
every Democratic governor who has
presided as our chief executive of
Mississippi, without having enjoyed
the privilege and honor of having
furnished a Governor for the State
during all the years Of her her his
tory; and
Whereas, our beloved and disting-
uished fellow citizen, Honorable +.
F. Noel, has, after one of the most
memorable campaigns that has ever
been witnessed in the great State of
Mississippi, been chosen as our next
Governor by the people of Missis-
sippi; therefore,
Be it resolved, That we, the citi-
zens of Holmes county in mass
meeting Assem- bled, extend hearty
greetings to the entire State of Mis-
sissippi and do now express to them
