DeraiIed At
Greystone

A locomotive and tender and
five express cars of the SeabOard
Air Line fast sOuthbOund passen-
ger and express train No. 3 were
derailed a quarter of mile south
of GreystOne shortly after three
o'clock this afternoon as the train
was enrOute here. No one was in
jured.
The derailment occurred on a
section of main line that was
paralleled by a pass track and
the cars piled up on the opposite
side of the roadway, preventing
a blocking of passing trains.
The dera;lment was said by
railroad men to have been caus-
ed by an axle breaking on the
second of two locomotives pull
ing the long train, that engine
going off the rails and being fol-
lowed by the five express cars.
All of the passenger cars re-
manned on the track, and the first
engine, which also remained on
the rails, moved up and back in
over the pass track to pull out
the passenger cars and then con-
tinue on it's run. The train was
delayed about half an hour. 1t

UNLOADING RELIEF
WORRIES CONGRESS
Turning Job Back to States

Is Proposed
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumnist

Washington, Dec 29.-The 1887 ses-
sion Of Congress will see no tougher
fight than the one involved in the ma
tional administration plan to turn
a much larger share of the burden of
work relief back from the federal gov
eminent to local governments-stat

local communities should so much
prefer to pass the relief load on to
Uncle Sam rather than take care
each Of their own proportion of the
whole country's needy.
In the long run the bill must De
footed by taxation anyway.
What difference does 1t make say
TO a given city whether it pays direct

or paws into a common federal fund,

THE WHY OF 1T
Either way the problem is looked
at, the number of folk to be relieved

The summed-up cost would seem to
be about the same, from whichever
angle it is viewed.
But
Each locality, from the states or

FOLGER TO RESIGN
AS SUPERIOR JUDGE
Thinks National Committee
man Job Offers More in
Many Ways
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

BY j. G.. BASKERVILLE
Raleigh, Dec 29-II3dge A. D. (Lon)
Folger, of Surry county, has just
about decided that he would rather
be Democratic national committee
man from North Carolina for four
years than special superior court
Judge for six months, with the result
that he is expected to submit his re-
signation as a judge to Governor J.
Z. B. Ehringhaus within the next ten
days, according to reliable reports
heard here for several days.
If Judge Folger submits his resigna-
ton, as he is expected to any day
now, it will make il possible for him
to continue to hold his job as ma
tional committeeman without further
bomb ardment from the press and
public and silence the demands heard
from both since he was appointed
Judge that he should resign either as
Judge or as national commit eeman
and not try to hold two offices at once
It will also make it possible for Gov
ernor j. G.. F. Ehringhaus to apDoint
another special superior courj judge
this time perhaps with the approval
of Governor-elect Clyde r. p oey-and
thus help relieve the pressure on Mr..
Hoey as a result of the two posts on
the State Supreme Court which he
must fill.
FoIger Changes Mind.
Until recently Judge Folger was de-
termined to remain a judge and also
as national committeeman, regardless
of the criticism which ha- been heap
ed upon him both in the press and in
private, those who know him main
tain. But recent developments are un-
cerstood to have changed his attitude
