TIE new RAILROAD.

We understand that there IS
strong probability Of Scotland Neck
Getting another railroad. The plan
is - build the road from Littleton
on the Seaboard Air Line, by way OF
Panacea Springs, nriIAleyville or
Riagwood. EuheId, Scotland Neck
and on to Hamilton. connecting with
the boat !ires on the 2oanoke river.
Take YOUR map ard louk at the coun-
tv Of Halifax and you viii see that
this is large territory without a
railroad. Il is q rich farming section
and deserves 20 be given an outlet as
this proposed road would giveit. 10
build the road would mean great
deal as TO better freight rates be-
sides many other advantages. Will
the read be built, and what can the
people and the towns along the route
do to help it along? Well, there is a
work for every one of US to do, if we
want the road built. A gentleman
was here some days ago and talked
tie proposition with several Of our
business men and left the matter to
some extent in the hands Of Mr.. A.
Paul K. hin. so far as Scotland
Neck and the country between here
and Enfield are concerned. Mr..
Kitchin tells US that this man claims
to represent capitalists that are
anxious to build the road if the town
and people along the proposed route
will show their interest in the mat
ter to the extent Of furnishing the
blue prints and that it will not be
necessary to do this before a civil
engineer has gone over the ground
and make q favorable report. This
blue print viii only cost a few thou

had just been shipped to New York

fellows in this part of the State who
very rarely ever see more than a few

COMING INTO IT'S OWN

DEOPLE are likely to look back commiScr-
atlngly upon the past, IN these days of
modern progress. When we hear what the
most prolific OF prrscntday noyclists receives
a word, and what the weekly royalties of any
we'll known playwrights are, We say that the
literary profession has come into its own.
Some hark back to the contrasting tale,
that Milton received five pounds for the first
copyright of "Paradisc Lost" an epic in
twelve books containing a total Of ten thou
sand five hundred and siXty-tivc lines; but
that was over two centuries ago. Poe received
ten dollars for "Thc Raven That may bc
dismissed with the statement that poetry
never paid.
The modern way Of making money by lit
craturc is even more recent than is generally
thought. Alexander Hill Of Cincinnati, one
Of the best known bookmcn and collectors
of the Middle West, has letter in his col
lection of autographs that proves this point.

ton, Bung put the Ho Gee under his arm
