turnd on Tuesday.

to the cause of the wreck of the
Oriental Limited at Bartlett, returned
verdict Tuesday night at about $3.50
o'clock, shortly after all of the evil
dence had been introduced. The YER
dict in substance was that the cause of
the wreck wins unknown, and that
therefore no one could possibly be held
responsible for the death of those who
persisted in the wreck and flames. The
inquest was held at Lakota.
Only one witness was on the stand
last evening, that being Engineer
Weaver. Mr.. Weaver testified as to
the orders alleged to have been issued
by Assistant General Manager Bryan,
relative to making up lost time. Mr..
Weaver stated that no such orders had
ever been given to him.

State Board of Charities

There may be too many boards Some
OF them could doubtless be dispensed
with without injury to tho public SER
vice. But that does not alter the fact
that we need State Board Of Charities,
and the Times Dispatch regrets that
the Landmark takes different view.
Such board would cost the State
nothing except travelling expenses, and
It's service, If composed Of the right
sort of men, would be Invaluable. The
board would have no authority except
to investigate and make recommends
tons There is reason to believe that
many OF tho jnis and almshouses of

say disgraceful, condition, and radical
reforms in the management of them
are needed The members Of tho Board
of Charities would visit all such in
stitutions from time to time, show the
keepers how ncedful improvements
could be made, and In case their recon-
mendations were not regarded report
to the lawful authorities. Had there
been a State Board of Charities. there
had been no need for an Investigation

This is humane movement, and it
deserves tho attention Of all men who

nate with Tho Times-Dispatch. 1t was
started years ago, by the State Confer
cnce for Charities and Correction, and
is heartily supported by a number of
prominent citizens who have interested
themselves in charity work. Ono of the
most distinguished members of the
General Assembly has interested him
self in the matter and will offer a
bill at the next session to create such
board. We Ahopo he will have the

terview with Captain B. c. White, Of
tho United States Agricultural Depart
ment, who questioned the statement
of tho Augusta, Ga, Chronicle, claim
ing to be the Oldest newspaper in the
Southern States, having been establish
ed in 1855. Captain Whites investiga-
tion showed him that the Alexandria.
Va, Gazette had date from 1884.
Both Captain White and your writer
Of tho article appear to have overlooked
their Virginia History. The Virginia Ga
zette, Williamsburg, Va, was established
in August, 1876, about fifty years prior
to either Of above mentioned papers.
Still Virginia cannot claim the Oldest
newspaper in the Southern States. be-
cause d newspaper was published in
South Carolina in 1874. 1t Is difficult
off hand to place the rank Of the Au-
gusta, Ga, Chronicle, but 1t seems that
Virginia is in second place In tho
Southern States.

on cotton cultivation. and Samuel Hill,

Meetings, previously arr ranged, arc
hold here and there, and the farmers
gather together and hear what the eX-
perts have to say. AS result, the
Birmingham Age Herald says that a

trct will be made. A cotton expert
will be located permanently in the dis

The Rights of Railroads.

AS stated in The Times-Dispatch of
yesterday. Judge Pritchard, of the
United States Circuit Court, has grant
der in the suit of the Southern Rail-
way Company against the clerk ana
members Of the Corporation Commits
sion of Virginia, thereby preventing
ting the two-cent passenger rate i'll
effect in this State. The bill is made
returnable before Judge Prtchard in
Asheville on June 27th.
but Mr.. A. r Thorn, general counsel,
Is quoted as having said that the suit
Is brought because the new rates pro-
mulgatcd by the Corporation Commits
sion are confiscatory and in violation
Of the fourteenth amendment
OF that we do not know; but II the
officers Of the Southern Railway Com
pany so believe, it is their duty to the
stockholders and to the general public
20 bring the matter to test in the
court Of final appeal. This is done, we
take it, in no spirit of defiance. 1t is
done in the same spirit, doubtless, that
vowed the Virginia railroads to decline
to comply with the requirements or
the Churchman act until its constitu-
uonality should be declared, and,
ugain, in the same spirit that moved
the Corporation Commission itself to
refuse to recognize Mr.. Joseph Button
as Insurance Commissioner. The COM
mission was in doubt as to the con-
stitutionality of Mr.. buttons election,
and decided that it was for the public
welfare that the question be deter
mined by the Court Of Appeals before
Mr.. Button should enter upon the dis
charge of his duties.
The railroad situation is serious, and
there is no sense in trying to disguise
the fact. The gross earnings OF the
roads have increased, but their OK.
penses have increased in greater pro.
portion, so that the net is showing ar
these conditions, they are compelled by
law to reduce their rates. That ISM

often warned them; but no matter how
1t came, they are in distress, and ar,
compelled in sclf-dcfense to seek pro
lection in court. They may find scan
comfort there, but when their caus
shall have been heard and finally dc
tcrmined, they will at least know, an,
the public Will know. what their right
are. They will know whether or no
they will be allowed to share in IN
general prosperity Of the country
whether or not they Will be allowed

lie Will know whether or not railroa
Recurities are reasonably safe inves;
ment. The sooner these questions ar
determined by the Supreme Court tn
better it Will be for the railroads an
for the public, and The Times Dspatc
hopes that there will be speed
