Not Puppets Of a Demagogue?

Raleigh Times
The clearest, the ablest, the fairest
and the best expression yet on the
railroad situation and pending
legislation by the General Assembly
of North Carolina comes in the fol-
lowing resolutions adopted by the
Winston-Salem board Of trade:
That the true and just cause of
complaint against railway manage
ment in North Carolina, in regard to
passenger traffic, is not that the fares
are too high, but that the transpor-
tation facilities are inadequate and
unsafe.
That the great commercial need of
the people of North Carolina is more
railroads, and the betterment of the
railroads we now have.
That it is unusual and contrary to
ordinary business dealing to demand
of person upon whom you must
rely to render you service that he go
to great expense to better the service,
and in the same breath inform him
that his compensation must be re-
duced, even though he complies with
your demand.
That we fear the effect of a reduc
tion of fares will be to retard the rem
edy, of our real complaint, and the
accomplishment Of what is needed
most to promote the States material
welfare, and we are opposed to radi-
cal legislation in the reduction OF
fares.
That transportation facilities
should be improved to degree
commensurate with the rate with
fares, and to that end laws should
be passed investing the corporation
commission with ample powers to
REQUIRE the railroads of the State to
make needful improvements in their
service and roads.
| That the senator and representa-
tives from Forsyth are respectfully
requested to present these resolutions
to the Geueral Assembly.
The men composing this organiza-
ton are identified with the most
progressive business spirit of the
day. They use the railroads ex-
tensively for freight and passenger
traffic. They are not the tools of
corporation, they are not blinded by
hatred, but they view the questions
in a practical, common sense way.
On one hand they hear the demand
) for cheaper rates, the howling Of
scheming politicians and tricksters.
On the other hand they lrear the de-
mand for better service, for quicker
: service, for improvements generally.
They realize that the passage of
, drastic laws can have but one effect
the curtailment of that service so
terribly needed.
In the consideration Of this matter
of vital concern to the people and
the business interests the Lawmakers
must be guided by one OF two things:
They must heed the cry of the lead
| ing citizens of North Carolina, as ex-
pressed in the resolution above, or
e they must surrender their independ.
S ence, bury their fairness and justice
e and do tie bidding of one at whose
e hands the people of North Carolina
b have suffered too mnch already
t Mindful OF his obligations, the fair
square and honest man will not hest
d tate long in deciding how he shall
vote.

Railroad Record and Commerce Carrier.
When Vice-President W. A. Gar
rett OF the Seaboard Railroad made
his first inspection trip over the sys-
TEN he announced that there must
be no drinking.
IF you can't get business, said
he without 'tanking up let the
business go. | don't want that kind
OF traffic
And that is why there are so many
strap-hangers and folks standing on
the running-board of the water
wagon this year.
At Birmingham the chief on the
Nice-President's special brought out
some store mince pies, rather heav-
lily favored with sherry or Three
Feathers, or something of that kind.
1t was the nearest thing to high
ball that anyone in the party had
tasted i'll IA week, and at lunch every
body took second helping. The
afternoon was spent in going over the
yards, seeing the terminals and some
OF the industries about the city
When the general passenger agent
got back to the car, tired and hot
and thirsty, the first thing he asked
the general freight agent was:
Charley, have you drunk up al
that mince pie?'

DIONGS AT RALEIGH.
Editor Archibald John
son Sees the Leg
islature.
The Personnel of the Law Making
Body as They Impressed Him
Thinks the Temper of the Legis-
Iature More Radical than Usual.

Editor Archibald Johnson of the
Thomasville Charity and Children,
who is Il conservative man and II
close observer OF things, say this Of
the Legislature after iourneying down
to Raleigh and looking in on that
august body:
Looking over the two houses, one
is impressed with the personnel OF the
body. Occasionally there is the
fresh lace Of Il country youth who
ought to be in school, and now and
then he rises and delivers himself of
an unscasoncd thought or two that
cries out for utterance, but i'll the
main. the General Assembly v appears
to be composed of men of experience
and Judgment.
Referring to the examination OF
Preident W. W. Finley of the South
ern Railway, before theioint commit
tee, Editor Johnson says:
Mr.. Finley made a straightforward
and telling speech against the pro-
posed reduction OF passenger fares in
the Justice Bill At the conclusion
Of the argument, Speaker Justice
took the railroad magnate i'll hand
and subjected him to a severe cross
examination. For more than an hour
the questions and answers flew thick
I,aud fast. Both men were on their
mettIe and realized the supreme i'm
pOrtamce of their different positions.
Mr.. Justice revealed the keen fore
sight of n trained lawyer bent on
making capital for his case from "a
star witness, and President Finley,
facing the prejudice engendered by
the inadequate service ofhis railroad,
showed his fine abilitv hy the way he
controlled himself He left the wit
ness stand in better shape than he
took it, He WAS rather too much
for his antagonists, many of whom
piled him with questions when Mr..
Justice turned him loose. His an
swers evoked hearty applause time
after time, and he impressed the aud
ience with his manly honesty. While
President Finley deserves no more
consideration than any other citizen,
any good citizen ought to be treated
with courtesy, and one or two ques-
tions put to Mr.. Finley were rude
and i'll hammered.
OF the temper of the Legislature
and the Speaker of the House the
same writer says this:
1t is generally accepted that the
temper of the Legislature is much
more radical than usual The Speak
er is quite aggressive, if not extreme,
and he has a large following. His
policy of hewing to the line and let
ting the chips fall where they may,
has seized many men of lesser minds,
and there is danger of the passage OF
laws that may be harmful, especially
with reference to corporations; but
there is "a saving element OF common
sense among the members who have
had experience i'll law-making, and
who will 90 their utmost to deal in
perfect fairness and Justice to every
interest, foreign as well as domestic
Whether this. conservative element
can control the situation or not re-
mains to be seen. If not we are
going to suffer damage i'll more ways
than one by the action of the Legis
lature.

Celebration of Gen. Lees Birthday.
Contributed.

On the morning OF Jan. 10Th L thought
| would go to the city of Henderson to
hear some orator speak in behalf of this
great man who | had followed over Nir-
ginia and good part of Maryland and
Pennsylvania. Gen. Lees greatness will
never be told, to do SO would be as i'm
possible as to attempt to describe the
horrors OF war. Pen has never yet pic
tured to the mind of man the awful real
tiles of the CHASTITY and hideous form of
the battlefield. Much can be said OF this
noble man yet it will be insignificant to
his greatness.
Nations may rise and kingdoms may fall
But the name OF Lee will live through them all
Now | will tell something concerning
| the day at my home. Early in the morn
| ing tire little boys and girls commenced
/ gathering at my house and before noon
| forty-five or ifty had arrived Just to en-
| JOY themselves in their many different
plays. Dinner time came, the table was
set in the yard and after it was well sup
piled the boys and girls were invited to
dinner. After gathering around the table
and before they began eating the writer
made them short speech. Any war
worn veteran would have enjoyed to see
those little Tar Heel boys lift up their
hands and take off their hats in respect
to the speaker. Not a word was spoken
by them during the speech. At the close
OF my remarksl repeated this to one and
all:
In silence must take my seat
And give God thanks before | eat
must with patience wait
Until II asked to hand my plate
must not cav he bread il old
The tea is hot. the coffee s cold
| must not cry for this or that
Nor murmur if my meat is fat.
After this they were invited to eat. Din
ner being over all went TO play and the
writer, though aged joined in with them
for aw hile. The day was one OF pleasure
to those little gentlemen and nice little
ladies. J. F. COGHILL.

There are three critical stages in
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood or the change from
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one Or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia

made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childblt th, and
