Despite the fact that the Los An
geles- Pacific has been straining every
nerve to have their new broad gauge
tracks from Los Angeles to the ocean
ready for travel tomorrow, it is said by
railroad employees this work will not be
finished until Tuesday of next week.
The shifts of men have been working

The bricklayers are at work on the
new terminal building on Hill street,

as quickly as possible.
"Those new, large cars which the
company has had at Sherman for
YEAR" remarked a conductor yester-
day. 'are not so much faster than the
ones now in use, but they are larger,
better built and run smoother. In the
latter respect they go as smooth as a
Pullman, and will be especially well
received by the public on that account.
They are furnished with 300 horse
mower motors and can make better time
than the present cars, but their great
est advantage will be their increased

NEGROES WILL GET
SPEEDY TRIAL

Greensboro, November 3O-(Special.)-
1t now appears that Governor Co.
mer did not order the removal of
the parties charged with Mr.. brakes
murder to the jefferson county Jail
and that the governor did not in
fact wire that there was rumor of a
mob forming at F'aunsdale to hang the
negroes.
The governor wired that there was a
rumor that the negroes might be lynched
and directed that they be protected and
given trial, stating in his telegram
that he had requested Judge Miller to
hold a special term of the court and try
the defendants. Sheriff Gewin after con-
sulting with the authorities here thought
it best under the circumstances to re-
move the prisoners to Jefferson county
and they were accordingly carried from
Greensboro on special train late Satur-
day night.
Judge Miller and Solicitor Tompson are
now on the grounds preparing to open
court and give speedy trial to the ac-
cused.

GOES TO WASHINGTON.
Richardson Sees Chance for Demo-
Gratis in Tariff Issue.

Huntsville, November 30-(Special)-
Judge William Richardson, member of
Congress, left today for Washington. He
believes there will be an extra session of
Congress as soon after the 4th of March
as it can be held
Judge Richardson says he does not ex-
pect any revision of the tariff at the
hands of the republicans and the country
will very soon learn of the hypocrisy of
the leaders who are discussing it. THE
republicans will make failure" he said,
1.-The people will be disappointed, frictons
and conflicts and discussions will follow
their pretended revision. If our minority
democrats will stick close to the tariff
issue and never let up on the insistence
that the tariff must be revised, from the
standpoint of the interests of the public
and not to benefit special interests, the
House of the Sixty-second Congress will
be democratic making broad and easy the
way to the election of democratic presi-
dent in 1912.
