Dukes to Build Road.
The Greensboro News says

lie 1T00uSDOTO NEWS says.
"A contract of great significance
was settled in this city Saturday be-
tween the promoters of the Duke troll
ley line project and large local lum-
ber firm, which the latter received
an order from the Dukes for 100000
cross ties. The significance of the
contract lies in the fact that it may
mean the beginning of construction at
an early date of trolley system be-
tween the two Carolinas.
For time this project has been
at standstill, to the public at least,
'far from the maddening crowds igno-
BILE strife" there has been some thing
doing-the unconquerable determine
ton of the Dukes to push through
any business project they once have
been at work on.
Several months ago it was given
out the building of the line between
North Carolina and South Carolina
twas an assured fact, but d,lr.ag the in
tefval since the ann ,uncemenl the
p:.. osed line has been nearly lost T.,
the y. L1ic mind. Sens who were
most interested in the project had
feared that it had failed.
However, when the enormous CON
tract for 100000 cross ties was made
with local lumber firm on Saturday
hope was Immediately rekindled, any
one of sound reason realizing that nc
corporation, however wealthy or pow
erful, could afford to buy cross ties
in that manner just for the fun o1
the thing With this most recent de
velopment the people may now be as
sured of the trolley line, which vii
be more powerful toward opening III
and developing certain districts ant
rural sections along the route thar
any other enterprise and which viii
act as rapid transit for freight an(
/ passengers.

New Chief Justice to Go to The Haqu

New Chief Justice to Go to The Hague
Washington, July 21-The next chief
justice of the United STATES supreme
court probably will be named as one
ofthe four American members of the
permanent court of arbitration at
The Hague. Chief Justice Fuller's
death left vacancy in that court,
the surviving American members be-
ing John w. Griggs, of New Jersey,
former United States attorney gen
eral; George Gray, of Delaware, Judge
of the United States circuit court and
former United States senator, and Os.
car S. Straus, of New York, ambassa'
dor to Turkey and former secretary
of commerce and labor.
The purpose of the court is to facili
tate arbitration for international dis
putes which has been impossible te
settle by diplomacy.
The understanding among officials
here is that the president will defer
filing the vacancy until he designates
chief justice of the supreme cour'
and that he will then name the same
official to the Hague vacancy.
