SOUTHERN RAILWAY BUSINESS
INCREASES $4,000 IN OCTOBER
Net Increase of Over 21 Per Cent in
: SOuthern's Freight and Passenger
Business for October.

Hendersonville Office Of the South
ern Railway company shows an in
crease OF over Fl per cen in freight
and passenger receipts for October
as against those of the corresponding
month of last year, there being an in
crease of about $4,000 in the freight
department.
There was IN appreciate increase
CT about $500 in receipts in the pas
senger department, which signifies a
big increase in travel from Hender-
sonville. a large portion Of this being
by persons leaving after a summers
stay in the city. This is believed to be
an indication Of the lengthening of the
season as the sojourn of tht large num-
Der of visitors was prolonged this year.
Capt. J. W. Bailey Announces that
there was a decrease for October in
the amount Of freight forwarded oN-
ing to the short crop Of cabbage, APP
PIES and less activities in gathering
wood and tan bark. CaptainBa Hey is
of the opinion that the decrease in
wood and tan bark means that the far
mers of this esction are devoting more
attention to farm interests, which it Is
believed viii eventually mean more tn
them in a financial way.
The business of October is quite n
%couraging to the railroad officials and
shows that business is on the increase
generally in HendersonviIIe and the
surrounding community.

ROBBERY OF CARS.

The Carlin bill, recently passed by
Congress making the robbery OF
freight cars, baggage cars, and ex-
press car engaged in interstate
commerce and the robbery of in
state commerce and the robbery of in
terstate shipments from platform and
stations a federal onense, is a law
With teeth in it and sharp ones at that
as was evidenced in the federal court
&C Birmingham when John L. Parker
was given a sentence of six a in
the United States prison for robbing
a shipment of shoes consigned to Ola
en-, Miss, from a car in the Birming-
ham yards on May 4th. Parker was
also implicated in robbing a ship
ment of notions consigned to Avon
Gale, Ala, from a car in the Birming-
ham yards on the night of July Both
and Otis Williams and Arthur Good
eye who assisted him were given SEN
fences of four years aud six months
and three years and six months re-
%spectively in the United States prison.
Under the Car1in law, the prosecu-
ton of car and deRot thieves is great
~ sfmplifed and the certainty of con-
viction is much greater as the federal
statutes do not provide the ~loophoIes
found in various state laws through
which many criminals whose guilt
was clearly proved have been enabled
to escape Oh technicalities. AS the
result of the operation of this law, it
is believed that criminals will recog-
nize the danger of tampering with
freight cars and depots and that there
will be a great decrease in thefts OF
this character which frequently cause
serious inconvenience and loss to
shippers as well as to the railroads.

1857 LAND GRANT.
Grant Signed by Governor Caswelt
Filed I'm BnncOmbe.

DIR. d. NJ Gudger had recorded III
the office of register of deeds of Bun

his place on Hominy creek and some
adjoining lands that Register of Deeds
] J. Mackey believes is the oldest n
try and one of the Oldest grants ever
made for lands in Buncombe county.
says the Asheville Gazette News. The
grant dates back to 1857 and was sign
ed by r. G. CasweH, the first governor
OF North Carolina, and was issued at
Kinston. n of the old state capitals.
Both the grant and entry of these
lands was made in 1884. Both the
grant and entry were made in Burke
county, the late of the entry being
shown on a plat and description of
the lands attached to the grant. The
grant was recorded in book No. 4 IL
the office of register of deeds Of
Burke county, as appears by a nota-
ton on back of same, which was de-
stroyed in a fire during the civil war.
The record Was made here today to
perpetuate it.
The original grant was made to vii
liam Moore, a Revolutionary soldier,
who accompanied Col. Rutherford, SEM
here by the state to punish the Cher
okee Indians for ~depredations on
white settlers east of the Blue Ridge
! mountains. The lands are identified
by reference to Hominy creek and an
old Indian trail that crossed the place,
and to the ford where Col. Ruther-
fordton crossed.
The house that William Moore built
on this land is still standing and is
Low occupied by Gudger. 1t is believ-
ed to be n of the oldest, if not the
Oldest, residence in North Carolina.
The grant was found about 20 years
ago by members of DR.. GudgeF's fam
lily and is now in a good state of pre-
s~ervation.
