THOMAS |. MCLEAN MAY

Although ii is practically an un-
heard of idea for railroad man TO be
chosen for political preferment, indi-
cations now are that Thomas T.. Me-
Lean, conductor on train No II, IL, 35
and So on the Southern Railway,wo
ing from Knoxville 10 Asheyille, will
be one of the strongest conrendents for
the position Of United States Marshall,
Mr.. Mclean has not definitely an
nounced whether he will be candi-
date, but his friends among the rail-
road people are busy and his cause is
being boosted by all who think they
can be of any service TO him. United
states Marshall James Crumbless will
qiut his office about a year from the
day President Wilson takes his seat,
so the fight for the place Is somewhat
in it's infancy, but the friends of Con
ductor Mclean expect to make the
race so warm, that there. wifi not be
any contenders for the honor when the
hour for the appointment comes.
Mclean is well known in Newport,
He has been favorite with people OF

SENATOR WEBB

Against Such Practices,
But,

Washington, Feb. 1l.--SeIlator WehsA

based upon political grounds and Ios
that reason he finds himself willing "a.

that he had often gone on record is,
condemmIng the practice, and .thas
while he was not ready to say he hal,
been wrong and that: his views were.
not correct, he was convinced that tAa-
Democrats were justified in resortIng
to vigorous efforts TO prevent the plse.-

cans in order to pay political debt.
Senator Webb said ii President Tai.
when he issued his executive order ex-
tending the civil service regulations 10.
all fourth class postmasters, had alsn.
provided that these men should iak<
the customary examination and meet
the civil service requirements, ms se-

PAY TRIBUTE
TO R. |. TAYLOR
Members of the United States
Senate Eulogize Memory
of Tennessean.

Saturday was Robt. j.. Taylor day
in the u. s. Senate. Tributes 10 the
memory of the deceased Tennessean
were made by Senators Lea ana Webb
of Tennessee and several other of the
colleagues of the former Apostle Of
Sunshine. The most eloquent tribute
from Senator O'Gormon who in part
/ said
"My acquaintance with Robert Love
Taylor in This chamber was all too
brief, aye, measured by the span OF
life, but moment, and yet moment
of light whose rejuvenaling radiance is
Eundimmed and the cheering Influence
of which l shall cherish through all
the passing years.
''Thronghout his varied and inter
esting career he bore upon his shield a
message of good VIII, and encourage
melit to hisfeilowmep. His most eflec-
tive weapon was laughter, his invinci-
BILE ar,nor the pure gold OF a generous
and loyal fraternity.
Ills well in our too serious work. a.
day worldio pause To pay homage to
one whose life was a rebuke 10 selfish
ness, and an appeal tolhe better angels
of our nature.
"Who shall say that the austere
statement or The warrior does more for
the betterment and unift Of mankind
than one who leads the children of
men into the paths of poetry and
! laughter, and, turning away from the
frown Of Napoleon seeks inspiration
! in the sunshine of Tom Moore and
| Bobby Burns.
1T would seem TO have been more
than q coincidence that the birthplace
Of Senator Taylor was the town of
Happy Valley for him and to those
! blest with his companionship the
world was valley of happiness, and
if earnest prayers are answered, if fond
hopes are realized, he passed through
the shadow of death into the happy
valley of eternal peace.
~ deem it privilege to have this
opportunity TO add my humble tribute
OF afIectionate esteem and admiration
to those of the thousands of men and
women whose lives were frightened
and whose days were giadened by the
brilliant mind and honest heart and
faithful service OF This smiling child of
nature, from sunny Tennessee.

Pigeon River Division Will In
augurate Such Service
March 1st.
EVIDENCE OF CONFIDENCE
Capitalists Have Faith in This
Section of the Country and Are
Willing to Put Their Money in
Railroads Extending Into the
Mountain Territory-W. J.
Parks is Local Superintendent.

The following from the Canton Oh
server IS OF interest.
Evidence OF the confidence which
capitalists hold in the possibilities Of
Western North Carolina is shown in
the extensive development work
which is being done by the Pigeon
River Railroad company at this place
and along IT'S new line to Sunburst. In
addition TO the lumber and freight
trains which are already on the road,
the company will install passenger
service at an early date, having order
ed several locomotives with which TO
further equip the rolling stock of the
road. A large and convenient passen-
ger station will be constructed at the
point where the new road connects
with the Southern, here, and a station
will also be built at Bethel
Mr.. w. j. Parks, superintendent Of
the Pigeon River Railroad company,is
authority for the statement that the
company which he represents, in adj
dition to carrying on the large freight
business which will be necessary
when the saw mills of the Champion
Lumber Company begin operations,
will install an excellent passenger SER
vice, with regular schedules and first
class accommodations. The station
which Is to be constructed mere, as
well as otner improvement work, is
ample proof of the fact that the road
will be permanent. According To the
architects plans the station to be built
will be nearly 20 feet in length and
30 feet wide. The meteral has already
been ordered and as soon as it arrives
work will begin. In addition TO the
waiting room and ticket offices, the
building, which VIII have two stories,
will furnish offices for some of the Of
iicials Of the road.
1t is not thought that passenger SER
vice will be furnished all the way to
Sunburst, distance of sixteen miles,
but the freight trains from Penland
place probably accommodate those
wishing to go to Sunburst. When the
saw mills now being placed at the PEN
land place are completed additional
freight service will no doubt be neces-
sary. A mill which will probably be
completed by March 18th or April lst,
will be. of $4,000 feet capacity daily,

Effort Made In the North Caro-
lima Legislature to Investigate
the TranscOntinental Which is
Said to Be Hindering the Build
ing of the T. & N. c. r. K.

superintendent A. j. McMahan
went to Canton last week for the pur-
pose Of getting line on the office work
of that end of the Tennessee and North
Carolina railroad. A box of supplies
was shipped from Newport Saturday
and the regular passenger service will
be introduced on the Pigeon River Di-
vision from Canton TO Sunburst, by
March LIST.
The Pigeon River Division will have
as local superintendent, Mr.. W. j..
Parks, while the auditing of the road
will be done in the Newport office.
The work IS being pushed along from
the Waterville bridge along the Pigeon
River giving the Tennessee and North
Carolina road tracks on both sides of
the river.
Pennsylvania railroad cars, such as
were recently put in service OH the
Tennessee and North Carolina railroad
from Newport to Crestmont will be
used on the Pigeon River Division, al.
though Supt. McMahan sent over TO
Canton last week, one of the original
ears used OH this road, which will be
used Temporarily in that service.
The construction work would be
pushed along more rapidly but for the
fact that the Transcontinental railroad
is doing work at the same time and is
in way hindering line advance of the
Tennessee and North Carolina road.
Much interest is shown, however, in
dispatch from Raleigh TO the effect
that the senator and representative
from Haywood county had introduced
resolution TO call for an investigation
Of the Transcontinenial railroad and it
is most likely that the local Tennessee
and North Carolina officials will be
called to Raleigh TO testify IN the hear.

The cause for the investigation lies in
certain charges made by Senator w. j.
