Dunlap Wins Without
Opposition.

Gadsden. March g. Especially The
stockholders of the Chattanooga Southern
railway held their eleventh annual meet
ing in Gadsden this morning coming
out from Chattanooga in the private car
of General Manager Kent for the pur-
pose.
Contrary to expectations the meeting
was routine affair the mere formality
being gone through with and nothing
of an interesting nature developed
In view of numerous rumors and pub
lished statements that the Louisville and
Nashville had acquired the railway or
was about To acquire it, the meeting was
expected to develop the truth of the
statement. If the meeting is to be taken
as an indication the road is not sold.
but will continue as it has for the past
twelve months. The same officers and
directors We're reelected.
An official of the road when approached
on the subject of the meeting said, 1T
was similar in all respects to stockhold-
ers meetings which have been held in
Gadsden for the last few years. The same
officers and directors were elected with
out change.
You may say also that the Louisville
and Nashville railway was not mem
toned or referred to in any way, and
that the Chattanooga Southern is still in
status quo.
Following is the board of directors
elected today: II. A. V. Post, New York;
Charles w. Osborn, New York; Gen. 7.
II. Hubbard New York: Newman Erb,
New York; Henry Lamb, New York;
Frank II. Davis, New York; Edward c.
Osborn. New York.
The only change on the board of diree-
tors was the election of Charles w. Os-
born to succeed the late Russell Sage
who was one of the principal stockhold-
crs of the road.
General Manager Kent's annual report
was submitted and approved. The stock
was fully represented either directly or
by proxy.

This is very true but we will never
have roads in this country under our
present system and methods, and the
practical question which confronts US
is whetre or not we are just yet IN pos
ition to undertake the matter on that
scale which will give us good and per-
manent roads. We are satisfied that
we are and that the sooner we begin;
the better and once the wolk is be-
gun and some roads are properly
made there will be little difficulty IN
extending the work. We had under
stood that Spartanburg county pro-
posed to raise 100000 for road
building. If it does and then the mon
ey is properly expended and the roads
hey should be it will not
be long before there will be demand
for more and soon the whole county
will have a net work Of good high

we do not 60 at the building of roads

ed and then kept in repair which will
cost but little.

SOMEONE HAS BLUNDERED.

We should never think of The Nor
folk Landmark as a nature faker,
but we are afraid it has been imposed
upon. In its issue of last Saturday,
it published, under glaring headlines,
something concerning the senatorial
hopes and fears Of Hemphill, Of Char
lesion, and attributed this public ex-
position of his boom to the editor OF
The Evening Post. It is true that the
editor Of this paper is bearing the
burden, of his esteemed contempor-
ary's candidacy, with such assistance
as he can hire by the day-nobody
seems ever willing to engage tor a
longer period than twenty-fcur hours
but he realizes, as no other can rea-
lie, that with such an entry as he
is backing the most careful grooming
is necessary before any public trial
is made of his going ability. The sill
ver-mounted harness is ready, the rub
ber tired buggy with the red wheels is
there-all except the shafts, which
have been sent out for repair-but
the time is not yet for hitching up the
candidate. That was tried before
with disastrous effects, and his man
aser is determined that mo more
chances shall be taken. He is being
trained now in brake, and the editor
Of The Evening Post would never
have trotted him out before the null
titudes assembled in Norfolk for the
celebration of Carolina Day.
The Landmark reporter must
have been stuffed by one Of the com
missioners to the Jamestown exposl;
tion.-Charleston Post.
We understood that this senatorial
boom was launched by the editor OF
the Post. the mayor Of Charleston
and the speaker Of the house OF rep
resentatives while they were IN NOR
folk last week and we are sure we so
read it in several papers. Now here
comes the editor Of the Post talking
about the blundering Of some one.
We are surprised. True we heard at
the press association meeting at the
Isle Of Palms something Of this race
and we were gently reminded that no
newspaper man should aspire to any
office except it we're the United States
senatorship. After all this and the
bright stories which we received from
Norfolk we are surprised to see the
Post say "the time is not yet for
hitching up the candidate.' You
should not be bashful or backward.
You cannot win even the senatorial
race in that way. Get busy and let ev-
eryth;ag be ready for the running.
