Special to News and Observer.

Special to News and Observer.
Weldon, y. c., Jan. 13.-Surveys
are now being made and route map
ped off for new steel railroad bridge
over Roanoke river at this place and
two miles OF road to tap the main
line Of the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
way at Garysbug, thus obviating the
necessity for the Atlantic Coast Line
to use the Seaboard bridge and track
from Garysburg to this point.
For sometime the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway Company has beer con-
sidering and preparing plans to build
a bridge here and to extend its track
to Garysburg.
In the fall of 1877 the Petersburg
and Weldon railroad (nOw part of
the Atlantic Coast Line SYSTEM lost
by the great freshet of that year
their steel bridge in Mush Island and
the tracks and roadbed were washed
away. This loss caused the road to
enter into 81 contract with the Sea
board Air Line to Use its track from
Garysbug to Weldon passing over
the SeabOard bridge and the old right
Of way was abandoned. Since that
time the Halifax and Northampton
highway bridge has been constructed
on the old railroad piers.
The Coast Lines new route will
bring them into Weldon overhead.
The bridge will be West of the Sea-
board bridge and will cross the land
fcr,,,orIy, nuDol nv IT E'uonS now
owned by DR.. D. b. Zollicoffer.
At present the plan is to build a
steel bridge to cost in the neighbour
hood of 81 100000 and come into
Weldon in the rear of what is now
known as the Weldon hotel.
The Atlantic Coast Line and the
SeabOard will build a union depot,
two stories high The SeabOard peO-
pie will use the lower or first floor
and the Atlantic Coast Line will use
the second story Their passenger
trains will come in even with the sec
Ond floor, Just as the SeabOard Air
Line trains now run into Richmond,
at the Main street station.
The track from Weldon to Garys-
burg will be a double track and the
bridge will be constructed for a
double track
The surveyors are driving the pegs
and preparing the way for the road
bed and within the next few weeks
the road will have a large force OF
hands at work on the grading and
track laying.

Chapel Hill, n. c., Jan. II, 191O-Dr.
Archibald Henderson has this month an
article on George Meredith in the Deutsche
Reven. published in Berlin. DR.. Hender-
son contributes in this country to the
Arena, Scribner's, Harper's Monthly,
Current Literature, Mdnsey, The North
American Review, and the Atlantic
Monthly. Last year he had several ar
ticles i'll foreign magazines. As critic
of the two Merediths, Mark Twain, Ibsen.
and Bernard Shaw, DR.. Henderson has
achieved reputation on two continents.
The CarOlina-GeOrgia debate will be
held in Chapel Hill about the middle of
April. The CarOina-W ashington ( Lee
debate has been postponed from March
to April. This debate will be held in
Greensboro.
The University Y. NJ. e. A. was repre-
sented by six delegates at the-Laymen' S
Foreign Missionary Convention which
was held in Greensboro. All Of these
young men are members of the the stu
dent volunteer band and intend to go
as missionaries to Japan, China, India,
and Africa.
DR.. George Howe spoke before the \.
NJ. c. A. Tuesday night On The Spirit of
Honor" He traced the growth of the
honor system in the American colleges
and made an appeal for the widening
and deepening of the spirit OF honor in
our system of student self-gOvernment.
DR.. Thomas Ruffin, senior Professor of
Law, attended the trial of the case of the
United States VS. The American Tobacco
Company before the United States Su-
preme Court He gave an interesting
account of this significant case to the
law school.
There are numerous rumOrs that sever
al members of the University faculty have
received offers from other colleges and
universities with far larger salaries. 1t
is becoming a serious question how long
the Legislature of North Carolina is GO
ing to allow other universities and other
States to draw away the big men OF the
University Dozens of the faculty could
leave tomorrow, but they remain with
many a conflict between dire necessity
and college and State loyalty.

Friends OF Mrs. Joe Person and
her son, Mr. Rufus Person, in Vance
county will read with interest the fol-
lowing article wich is taken from the
Charlotte Observer:
"Charlotte with it's varied enter
prises is particularly interested in a
comparatively recent addition, oper-
ating as the Mrs. Joe Person Remedy
Company. Mr. r. NJ. Person, mana
ger, and Mrs Joe Person moved their
business to Charlotte some three
years ago and it has shown wonder
full increase each year. The year just
closed, however, is the banner year
for the sale Of Mrs. Persons remedies
and preparations. The sale of the
Remedy alone has exceeded the sales
of any previous year by $50 dozens.
The sale of the Mrs. Joe Persons
preparations is looked after through
out the State by Mrs. Joe Person
personally. Mrs. Person, who grows
younger each year, numbers her
friends throughout the State by the
scores. 1t will be of interest to the
public to know that Mrs. Person
numbers each bottle of her Remedy
and records in the office where each
bottle goes The care taken in pre-
pairing the medicines is no doubt to
very great extent responsible for
the increasing sales. Mr. R. NJ. Per-
son, manager, will permit no one
save himself to handle in any way
any OF the ingredients of the medi-
cines and of his own knowledge
knows that no foreign matter gets
into the medicine or remains in the
bottles before being filled. The OBJ
server is delighted at the success OF
The Persons,' and would like to
publish an even more favorable re-
port of the business for the coming

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. THERE'S only
one way to cure deafness. and that's by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the intiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an nfiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (Gaused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

She possessed in q rare degree the

sanctified to her memory. May aporton
