The people OF Norfolk have been
doing honor to Mr.. II. III. Rogers, the
owner and builder of the Virginian
railroad four hundred miles long that
connects Norfolk harbor with the
coal mines Of West Virginia. No
single individuafever built railroad
like Mr.. Rogers has constructed this
road. 1t was built without regard
to reaching towns along the line,
without the issue of a dollar OF stock
or bonds, without its owner being
interested in coal or iron or lumber,
and every dollar OF theforty millions
came out OF the pocket OF Mr.. Rogers.
he had the faith that a road con-
structed like the Virginian would pay
we'll, aud he built it upon plans that
were radically different from those
employed in building any other big
railroad system There is no water
IN the road and the securities will
represent the actualco of construc-
ton.
Before it went into the hands of ne
reivers, the opinion was general that
twhen Mr.. Rogers completed his big
road it would be connected with the
Norfolk & Southern Railway and both
would be owned by Mr.. Rogers and
Others of the Standard Oil coterie oil
capitalists. 1t may be that Mr. Rog.
ers will now purchase it and make i,
a part of the wonderful system tina,
he has in mind. 1t would give t.
Eastern North Carolina and to Raj
eigh a connection with a system with
money enough to do whatever j.
necessary and would tend greatly L
develop the resources of the section
which it reaches.

Even those who do not approve Of
Congressman kitchin's position on
some features OF the tariff must find
pleasure in the complimentary things
which are being said about this North
Carolina Representative by the news
papers OF other States. BY his speech
In the House on the tariff Kitchin
has won laurels for himself and
brought his State into prominence
in this contest before Congress and
the whole country. Not only did the
speech itseIf attract attention, but
so did the bold attitude taken by him
on a question which put him in oppo-
sition not only to every other Demo
cratic member from bis State and TO
a great many from other Southern
States, but also to many Of his own
constituents-meu whose votes made
him member Of Congress. We give

papers published In widely separated
parts OF the country:

Died Aged 1000 Years.

The following New York dispatch
gives an account of the death OF the
oldest living creature in the world:
Methuselah died here yesterday at
his home in the Bronx borough. He
was 900 years old. His death is as
cribed to ills incident to old age.
Methuselah was a common toad
frog which was found in a rock pocket
in a Montana mine five hundred feet
below the surface two or more years
ago. 1t was a frog OF the ordinary
kind that is found in this country at
the present time. Biologists say the
rock in which it was found was formed
a thousand or more years ago. This
is not the only instance OF live frogs
being found embedded in solid rock
far below the surface of the earth,
but the others have always died soon
after exposure, but this one survived
being brought into the air for two
years and then died of old age. Had
it been allowed to remain in its rock
bed it would have lived in the torpid
state in which it was found for all
time to come.

Not long since we quoted from the
Saturday Evening Post an interest
ing and eminently sensible expression
upon the political solidarity respect
lively upon the South and OF such
Northern States as Pennsylvania,

he devote some OF his effort toward
changing the condition in one as we'll
as in the other section. Golfers
takes up the same idea and demon
strates it by South Carolina on the
one hand and Vermont on the other,
thus:
The Presidents policy in regard to
appointing office holders in the South
ern States is to be heartily approved.
The North, from reconstruction
days, has done enough to harass the
South and to make more arduous
it's struggles with the manifold diff
culties bequeathed by slavery and
war. Also, 1t is urged by Mr.. Taft.

the South, at least, has more excuse
for her solidity. South Carolina has
her reasons, right or wrong, for re-
manning immovably in one party,
but what reason has Vermont? The
South distrusts the effect OF Republi-

Mr.. TAFT is wise in working to remove

Should Appeal to State Courts First.

Some time ago the railroads OF
Alabama applied to Judge Jones, OF
the Federal District Court, for an in
junction to restrain the State OF Ala
bama from putting into effect the 2k
cent passenger rate law passed by
the State Legislature. Judge Jones
issued a sweeping injunction which
was this week dissolved by the Cir
emit Court of Appeals and the case
remanded to the lower court for fur
Their proceedings. The Court OF APP
peals puts itself on record as favor
ing an appeal to State courts as a
first recourse and expressed regret
that an opportunity had not been
given the State Supreme Court OF
Alabama to pass upon the laws en-
acted by the Alabama Legislature.
This was a rebuke to the railroads
for rushing to the Federal court
without first applying to the State
courts for relief; and is furthermore
rebuke to the district Judge who so
promptly granted the railroads what
they asked.

Useful Invention.
Wadesboro Ansonian.

Wadesboro Ansonian.
DR.. J.. c. Smith of Polkton has Sc
cured a patent on a nut lock that
promises to he worth something.
There are really two features OF the
invention, the first being q small pin
that fits a groove in the bolt and a
corresponding one in the nut. The
pin has two ears or lips on the lower
end which spread when it is driven
up, thus preventing the pin from
moving and at the same time, hold
ing the nut at it's intended position
on the bolt. The other feature is a
washer made OF tempered steel to fit
between the nut and wood or iron
work to be held into position by the
bolt. This washer has several ears
that spring up against the nut when
it is run up, so as to prevent its turn
ing in the direction that runs it of.
Either of these features is sufficient
to make any bolt perfectly safe and
the invention will be welcomed by
railway men.

Carolina could only know how they
