Built the First Mile of Railroad for
For Commercial Use.

A correspondent OF the New York
Sun of January IL, 1912, contributes
the following to that journal:
There is grave in Greenwood
cemetery, Brooklyn, N. "" said an
old time railroad man, "the stone
at the head of which bears only the
name of the man whose remains are
buried there, the date OF his birth,
and the date of his death. Yet that
man-John Raymond-builtt the first
mile of railroad for commercial use
and designed for locomotive power
ever put down on the American con-
tinent.
THAT was in 1928, and that initial
mile of railroad was the beginning
of the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company's railroad between the head
of its canal at Honesdale, Pa, and
it's coal mines at Carbondale. And
on that first mile of track the first
locomotive to turn a wheel in Ameri-
ca was run August 8, 1929"
The man above referred to was
born in Walton, Delaware county, n.
Y, and was for a number of years
a merchant at Hamlinton, this coun-
ty, and where he ably filled many of
the local town Offices. Mr. Raymond
married daughter of Thomas Span
genberg, ESQ, of that village. He
was familiarly addressed by every
one in this section as Uncle" John
/ Raymond. He received a pension
for services rendered his country as
a soldier of the war of 1912. For a
long period he was a prominent resi-
dent of Scranton, and highly respect
ed and honored wherever known.
He died in the latter city in 1888,
aged nearly 100 years. The John
/ Raymond Universalist church OF that
city was mainly erected through the
liberality of his daughter, as me-
! mortal to her father.
We are indebted to f. A. Penni.

RUSSIAN REFUGEE AT TUFTS
TO Urge Republic on Cars Donai7
After Receiving Decree.

Medtord, Mass. Jan. 16. - Jacob
Sanerib. young Russian refugee, has
enrolled ms me;nLtr of Tufts col,
lege. Some time ago he came to this
country as stovaway from Ham
burg. whittier he had fed from Rus
sia after many adventures while the
Russian police were on his trail.
Sanerih was in the thick Of the dis
turbances in Russia in 1905 and 1906,
being one OF the most brilliant of the
youthful orators Of the Social Demo
cratic party. whose meetings had to be
held in secret. Finally with the issue
Of the famous manifesto a price was
practically set upon his head, as upon

fugitive. Friends smuggled him aboard

later released and hidden in a coal

TO DETERMINE WAGE SCALE.
At indianapolis 1900 Delegates to Ma
tional Convention of United Mne
Workers Of America Will Discuss
New Contract With Operators
In the Coal Fields.

indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 16.-ThirteeA
hundred delegates to the national con
vention of the United Mine Workers
Of America are in the city and today
will convene the initial session OF
which is believed to be one of the most
important conventions in the history
Of the organization. The leading min
ers from every state are a unit in e1-
pressing a determination to demand an
Increased wage scale, but they differ
radically in the amount that will be
demanded, some Of them wanting as
high as 90 per cent and others as low
as per cent advance.
There is no longer any doubt as to
the result OF the election. According
to the best obtainable information,
John p. White is reelected president
over Thomas l.. Lewis, former presi-
dent, by majority Of something like
10000, and the majority of Frank j.
Hayes for reelection as vice president
over Samuel Pascoe of Illinois is about
the same. Edwin Perry had no opposi-
ton for reelection as secretary treas
urer
The important subject of the conven-
ton this year to the more than n quar-
ter of a million union miners is largely
In the fact that for the first time in
the history of the organization the
wage scale agreements in both the an
thracite and bituminous mining fields
will expire March 81, and new wage
scale agreements will have to be ne
gotiated before that time. This means
that the convention will have to de-
termine Oil the scale for the central
competitive bituminous field and make
recommendations for the wage scale
to be negotiated at the conference OF
the anthracite operators and miners.
The miners will insist on an advance
In the mining wage scale because they
say the cost of living has increased
greatly in the last ten years, while
their wages have remained the same
under the award Of the anthracite
commission. 1t IS expected that the
anthracite miners will be supported in
this demand for an increase by all OF
the members Of the miners organiZa-
| tions with all of their resources.
1t is expected John Mitchell, former
president. will try to have rescinded
the action Of the convention in declar.
ing that he must either resign from
the National Civic federation or the
! United Mine Workers Of America.
Mitchell left the Civic federation
where his position carried salary OF
$4,000 year, and remained in the
union. His friends now assert that
! the Mine Workers convention was
packed against him last year and that
this enabled the socialist element tC
force through the resolution.

Should Florence Have Monopoly ?
Nesnlith, Angus

Our neighbor, Florence. as a coun-
t. and city gives US an example of
energy and thrift in development
which might be envied unless it was
both our pleasure and privilege to
take it as model and pattern in our
feeble efforts to approach its distin-
guished position in the Pee Dee sec
ton. 1t should be observed, however,
that some part, at least, of its lead
ing position among its neighbors is
due to its fortunate location and not
necessarily because it possesses all
the ability and patriotism that quail
ifes the citizenship of the Pee Dee
section for representing the people
in public capacity. To stranger,
however, who for the first time
should become acquainted with the
list of office holders in this section
it would appear that only those who
breathe the atmosphere of Florence
are equipped mentally and otherwise
to represent the people. Note the
list:
United States Senator f d Smith
from Florence; Secretary of State
r NJ McCown from Florence; Lieu
tenant Governor, Chas A Smith from
Florence; Solicitor W H Wells, from
Florence; S w G Shipp, Circuit Judge
from Florence: Chairman Warehouse
Commission, J w McCown, from
Florence. This last position, how
ever, was rendered void by a recent
decision of the Supreme Court.
We think we have mentioned a.
bout all of the important positions
that could be held for honor and
profit in this section except one and
that is the position so acceptably fill
ed by the Hon J + Ellerbe as re-
preventative in Congress. Florence
wants that position. Is it not too
much to ask Of the voters of the
Pee Dee section that this one position
held by citizen from another coun-
ty should be taken over by Florence
merely to increase its list of notables?
To do 50 would only serve the pur-
pose Of replacing admittedly one of
ourbest Congressman from the South
Mr. Ellerbe with Mr. Ragsdale.
1t does not occur to us that we
are assuming for the Pee Dee section
outside of Florence selfish position
when we suggest that all of our
public positions should not be given
to one county.-.Hari0n STIR.
