THE PROPOSED HIGHWAYS

The proposed Charlottesville
vile highway is another road in
which Henderson County should
be interested, although the di-
rect line from Charlotte to Ashe-
vile crosses the extreme north
eastern section of the county for
a distance of six miles, from the
Rutherford county line to the
Buncombe county line. This
road would be of much value to
Henderson county, inasrnuch as
it would be used by q great many
tourists whoewould drive around.
to Hendersonvillesa And it is.
also, possible to- connect this
road directly with Henderson,
vile, which would OPEN UP
another section and add asgreat
deal of wealth and income to the
county.
Fhe most profitable investment
that Henderson county can make
would be to issue $3.50. 900 to
$500, 600 worth of bonds and
spend it in the construction of a
system of roads throughout the
county. If these lines connect
with good roads in the other
counties, it will mean more
wealth to Henderson county, by
reason of the tourist trade, than
the county could obtain in any
other way. 1t is hoped that the
county will consider this in the
near future and take up the
question of the construction of
the roads from Greenville to
Asheville especially. Also from
Spartanburg to Hendersonville.
The suggestion to hold a good
roads meeting in Hendersonville
on March Both is a step in the
right direction. It is proposed
to have representatives from
Greenville, Laurens, Newberry,
Lexington and Richland counties.
S. c., and Henderson, Ruther-
ford and Buncombe in this State.
Such a meeting would bring a
big crowd here, as the questions
to be discussed would be the
value Of such highways to the
counties interested, and what
the county and road commission
ers of each can do to encourage
the proposition. If each county
would push the work during the
summer the same might be COM
pleted in time for an automobile
tour over the road from Column
bia through HendersonviIle to
AshevilIe next fall.
Good roads cost money. but
such an outlay of cash has ever
proven TO be a paying invest

PARTY HARMONY
PARAMO Unit

PAkAMU UNl
In making selections ofacandi-
dates for office, character, fitness,
and party iexpediency should
control the action ofievery demo-
crat. No attempt to ring in
fractional difference cshould be
recognized by the supporters of
any aspirant for any position.
Party harmony should be para
mount to the personal ambition
of any man and the fellow who
seeks to thrust himself upon the
people through the questionable
medium of personal prejudice
is unfit to occupy any position of
public trust. Because John
Smith happens to prefer a GER
tain candidate for an Office is no
reason why Bill Jones should
oppose him. Merit alone should.
{ govern each of them in reaching
a conclusion.
Personal animosity has no
legitimate place in a democratIe
household and any Would-be
leader of the party who seeks to
incite the feelings of lay mem
bers in the hope of selfish
achievement-at the expense7aof
harmony within the ranks, lis
an. enemy to the cause he feigns
to represent A nine cases
in fen, the fellow who cries per
s~ecution in political contests and
begs for sympathy from the
populaceis not only untitled for
the place he seeks, but also with
out even a care whether the.
party succeeds in a general way.
We repeat: The man calling
himself a democrat from princi-
ple, rather than for spoils, will
seek to harmonic differences
instead of inspiring the con-
tinuance of fractional wrangles,
whether of local or wider signi-
fcance.
This will be a mighty good
year to harmonic. Various
causes have led to a reduction of
the democratic majority in North
Carolina and republican ascen-
dency in the Tenth district.
One of them is the distasteful
methods resorted to in the rival
ry between aspirants for nomi-
nations. Our democratic people
believe in a square deal, "Opens
fair rivalry, merit and ayaila-
bility above all things else, when
the interests of the party and
not men should control the
action of every democrat in ex-
ercising the right of suffrage.
In contests between aspirants
for nominations the determi-
nation of every good party man
should be to assist in the selec-
ton OF the most available candi-
dates, considering character,
fitness and personal standing in
the ranks. The people want
men in Office who are willing to
represent them and not those

FIRST TRAIN ON
MEMORIAL DAY
Rock Island Southern Redou-
b1es Efforts to Get It's
Track in Place.
LAYING AT BOTH ENDS NOW
May 30 Anniversary of Opening of
Interurban Between Monmouth
and GaIesburg.

The Rock Island Southern has re
doubled its efforts to get the track all
laid between here and Monmouth be-
fore May 30. SO on that day they can
run their first train over the entire
route. The particular reason for wish
Ing to do this on Decoration day is be-
cause that is the anniversary of the
opening of electric service on the pres
ent Galesburg- Monmouth road two
years ago, and it is thought that it
would be fitting to start the trains on
the new division on the same day of
the year as the present road was
opened.
So far this spring all the work of
track laying has been done from the
north end. but yesterday afternoon q
carload of steel was taken to Mon
mouth, and this morning it was sent
out north, and with it gang Of track
men to begin laying steel north. The
other gang, working from the north
end, will continue its way south, while
the bunch pushing north hope to meet
them half way. With the work being
hurried from either direction it is
thought the work can be completed in
the week left before the day set for
the opening.
Alexis on Line.
W. w Mccullough and the Walsh
brothers have been in Alexis, and as a
result it is practically assured that the
town will get the desired connection
Options on the right of way from the

Placed on Trial Next Week
in Circuit Court.
INGLEsoN is PROSECUTOR
States Attorney. Owing TO Other
Pressing Matters, Calls in an
Assistant.

The circuit court today cleaned its
docket for the entire week and, having
nothing to do adjourned until next
Tuesday, at which time the criminal
trial list will be called. The cases
which were before the court for this
week were all of minor Importance
and very little difficulty was met with
in disposing of them. Several were
settled out of court, two were post
poned on motions of the attorneys and
the remainder were otherwise disposed
of. The branch court will continue in
session until July before adjourning.
The criminal list will be commenced
Tuesday morning, despite the fact that
States Attorney L. M. Magill will be
too busy with other matters to permit
of his taking charge of the prosecution.
He has appointed Attorney Peter R
Ingleson of Moline to serve as assist
ant states attorney as his regular as
sistant, H. M Schriver, will be occu-
pied with the same matters which are
holding the attention of his chief.
Two Charged with Murder.
In addition to two alleged murder
cases, in which ]. w. Halves and Cy-
riel Gotelaere are the defendants,
there is an indictment for assault with
intent to commit murder, one for abor-
ton, one for rape, and several lesser
crimes. There may be more cases
added to the list before the term is
over, as the grand jury is expected to
make another partial report so as to
get everything out of its way in max
ing it's probe Of the insurance scan

either Saturday or Tuesday.

 Stop the Decline.

New York, January 10.-An advance on the bullish census figures in the cotton market early today was followed by an even more excited and sensational break in prices than that which oc- cured last week, with the close weak at net loss of 54 to 75 points. The opening was firm at an advance of 4 to 14 points inspite of disapp pointing cables, and right after the call March contracts sold at 1902, and May at 1919, on the ginning figures, and a re- newal of the buying movement noted toward the close of last week. At these prices the market showed a re- covery of from 93 to 97 points from the low figures of last Thursday morning and this advance seemed to be bring ing out a lot of long cotton which had cline

The close was only shade up from the low at 15.11 for March and 15.34 for May.
 There was no change in the character of the trade news to account for the sudden return of drastic liquidation and panicky conditions, but it was rumored that the big New Orleans op- orators who returned to New York this morning were heavy sellers during the day while it was also believed that prominent Chicago interests were liquidating their long lines. if not ac- tually abandoning the bull side of the proposition.

WHEAT MARKET NERVOUS

Chicago. January 10.-Grain prices in general had a downward trend here to- day although May wheat and corn reg istered a slight advance at the close Provisions ruled generally lower in con- sonance with decrease in love hog prices.
 Spasmodic advances and as rapid de- clines marked the trade in the wheat pit. May was the most active month, with the greatest range, from s1.1s to s1.14S Sentiment was largely bearIsh Considerable early selling which crowd ed prices was followed by a rapid ad- vance to the highest point of the day.
 Bullish factors contributing to the ad- yances were unfavorable. Argentine crop reports and a strong cash wheat demand from nothwest millers, larger worlds excess of last years figufres-had weight on the bear side of the market The close was steady. Final figures on the May delivery were s1.1sssQ1. 1894. 1sc high CT than Saturdays close.
 Expectation of large receipts of corn had bearish influence on the pit early in the day in harmony with the tenn porary slump in wheat. Arrivals less large than anticipated caused later advance and shorts rushed to cover. The range on all the futures was 6sc The close was steady with May Ac higher than Saturdays final figures at 6Sesc.
 Oats were comparatively quiet today Prices kept within a range of 14c to hc Early figures were the lowest. Later a. fair demand proved the equilibrium of the pit. The close was steady with May a shade lower than Saturdays final fig ures at 47z477sc.
 Trade in provisions was lighter than usual and early weakness influenced by larger runs of live hogs was counter balanced later by rush of shorts to cover. January pork escaped the decline and ranged bQF1ac higher than satur- days close. Other products were unl- forinly lower throughout the session and closed with net loss of 21SQl1oc.

 Futures opened steady at an advance of IS to 22 points oh the very bullish report on ginning from the census bu- reau, but immediately after the first call commenced to break badly. Selling was heavy all day long and prices of the old crops were at one time 10s to 11e points down from the highest, marking one of the worst slumps in the history of future trading in cotton. May and Jnly were the weakest months and both broke 116 points. The selling that was responsible for this appeared to come from the same bear interests who so successfully at- tackled the market last week. Their or ders to sell checked the advance even on the first call After tue trading of the day had commenced in earnest the volume of selling was increa sed, the advance was wiped out and replaced with a decline and then stop-loss orders among the longs began to be reached.

This sell ing continued all day, finally demoralz- ing the market, as there is little short in terest except against cotton.
