Then jackson went into the cam

speech and to declare that party
good enough for Mulvane, smith,
Clark and Dean was not good enough
for hinl-or words to that effect. Now
Jackson has attached his name to the
state pay roll and several dozen
staunch, standpat Republican workers
of three years ago are yet in the list
of private citizens on foot.
Now there is a deep rooted, well

Botkin can be disposed Of. Governor
Capper has not yet decided on def

but there is that eternal hope in the
administration breast that may yet
produce results
Codding was a close follower and
confident of Stubs and Jackson and
Dolley and all the men whom the old
line Republicans grew to love-at
safe distance. In fact Codding was
frequently in the inner councils of the
Progressives. The fact that at this
time Codding is listed for the warden

such men as w. H. Haskell and David

room for a close associate of the
Stubs crowd of yesterday.
Only Stubs and Dolley are as yet
unprovided for, it seems. Still, nine
teen months of the Capper first term
remain and to date the governor has
built up a batting average of some
thing like .600-considerably in excess
of any of the pennant chasing Saw

The Index System.

There is an index system at the To-
peka office which keeps tab on the
watch of every employee of the system.
There are 4,336 employees whose time
pieces are inspected weekly, monthly
and yearly. Furthermore every one
of the 4,336 owners makes a report
over his signature regarding the faith
fitness of the watch every "a hours.
Ralph D. Montgomery, superin-
tendent of time service for the Santa
Fe, looks after much of the detail re-
garding the inspection of watches.
For instance, this morning there were
several score of them to be rated by
him and among the various makes are
included the Hamilton, Elgin, Wal
than, Illinois, Ball, South Bend, Seth
Thomas. Rockford, Hampden, Gruen
and others.
And every day of the year this end
less task goes on of keeping the Santa
Fe railway time up-to-the-minute, or
to be more correct, up-to-the-second.
The general watch inspector of the
road is one of the most widely known
watch experts of the United States,
and he has built up a system that is
used as a model the world over.

ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS
ON NEW DEsTRoYERs
Secretary Daniels Also Approves the
Double BrOadside Arrangements
For Torpedo Tubes.

Washington, Aug. 10.-A distinct de-
parture in the armament of American
torpedo-boat destroyers has been ap-
proved by Secretary Daniels in the de-
sign of six new destroyers authorized
by the naval appropriation act of
March 3, 1915. 1t is the introduction
of anti-aircraft defense guns and a
centre-line arrangement of the torpedo
tubes. Each of these destroyers will
carry twelve torpedo tubes. They will
be arranged in four trip1e-tubed bat
teries along the centre line of the main
deck instead of being arranged alon 3
both sides of the deck, as in the i'm
mediately preceding class of destroy
ers.
The new destroyers will each mount
two 1-pounder anti-aircraft guns.
These will be the first American de-
stroyers carrying such weapons.
The advantage of the centre-line
arrangement for topedo tubes is that
all Of the tubes may be fired on either
broadside. These vessels, thefore, will
each have a broadside fire of twelve
torpedoes on either side. Under the
previous arrangement the destroyers
had broadside fire only of six tubes
on each side.

LET'S HAVE 4 RAIL-
ROAD TO SEVEN SPRINGS
GOLDSBORO PEOPLE MUCH IN
EARNEST AND ARE GOING TO
KEEP UP THE AGITATION,

A movement is on foot in this city
to urge upon the present and new
owners of the Goldsboro Street Rail-
way to extend their road from this city
to Seven Springs, and should this
prove to be d paying proposition, to
further extend the road to Pink Hill,
Richlands, Jacksonville and Swans
boro connecting with roads from Kin
ston and Dover.
On December 13, 1911, articles of
incorporation were filed in the Office
of the Secretary of State by the Colds
boro, Seven Springs and Swansboro
Railroad Company, with an authorized
capital stock of $1,500,O0O, the incor-

Young, of Goldsboro; T. I'll. Prichard
and the T. H. Prichard Transports
ton Company, of Swansboro; Frank
appears that SO far as building the
proposed railroad was concerned, that
altogether ended the matter.
The proposed railroad would run
through the very richest section of
Eastern Carolina, where good homes
are easily acquired and where for
tunes could be made in growing early
vegetables and fruits.
Should the Goldsboro Street Railway
Company extend their present road
from this city to Seven Springs, which
is now being strongly agitated, it will
be the consummation of long cher
ished dream of the people of Colds
boro and Seven Springs who have
wished to see a railroad run to this
healthful resort for the past twenty
five years.
| 1t is confidently believed by several
officers of the company that on the
completion of the proposed extension
of the road from Go1dsboro to Seven
Springs, distance of IA miles, the
joint earnings of the company,s trac-
ton lines in this city, and the new
such as to warrant further exten-
sion.
Among the various valuable fea-
lures of this road, the cost of it's con
struction will surprise those who have
never passed over the country that
would be traversed. For it's entire
length is an almost level plain, but il
is at the same time we'll drained By
little streams which carry off the sur
plus water so thoroughly. that a1mos
every acre is tillabIe.
The Goldsboro people want the rail
road and they are not going to let VI

and permanent plans have been adopt
ed to make the new railroad a SUR
! enough reality.
