The three-time G. 0. P. units are
Brunswick, Catawba, Cherokee, Ora

in 1920 1924, aud 1928, but which have
since landed in the Democratic
column. Davidson voted for the

1920, 1928 and 1885,
Governor j. c. B. Ehringhaus kept

high priced manager who has aroused
charge of the line.
Of course, the operating plan which
the Southern seems willing to under
take does not relieve the State,
and N. c., of any possible loss in ope-
ration. The Southern is distinctly and
emphatically unwilling to take any
responsibility for that phase OF the
matter. All the big system is willing
to do is to operate the Mullet-if it
shows profit, give it to the Mullet
stockholders if it loses, let the Mullet
stockholders make it good.
The governor mentions two possible
leasing combinations, but does not
appear to get into any joyful aither
about either of them-a fact which
lends credence to the belief that the
Southern's proposal has the inside
track.
Notable in the gubernatorial state
ment were these kind words lbout
the Southern:
1.-THE Southern Railway has done
such outstanding work for North
Carolina, both in operation of its own
lines and in the carrying out Of it's
lease of, the North Carolina Railroad,
that the whole State is gratified that
it is now manifesting interest in help-
ing to solve the problem of the At
lantic and. North Carolina Railroad"
The net result of the last few days
developments seems to be that solu-
ton of a vexing problem is perhaps
a bit nearer, butsby no means certain
If the Mullet can be leased, sold, given
away torn up or otherwise disposed OF
it would be a great relief to Governor
Hoey and all others now worrying
abut it.
ALI of which recalls how poor g
railroad prophet Josephus Daniels
turned out to be. Some quarter cen;
fury ago, there wasa bona fide offer
of $1,1O0,0O0 for the road-an Offer
which would have, permitted the State
to escape with a whole hide. at any
rate. But Carl Dunchan, then active
in Republican circles, wasone Of the
proposed purchasers and Daniels lee
in the successful opposition t. the
plan. He predicted that the Mule
would in time pay all North Carolina:
taxes and, eventually its entire debt

venture. His recommendations amount
to directions because of the fact that
the State owns something like 70 per
cent of A. and N. G. Stock.
AS the governor sees it, the line
would benefit by becoming an inte-
grail part ola large system instead OF
a loose end tied on to nothing.
Morehead City's future as port
would be UNNECESSARILY brighter, he
thinks, because the Southern would
make point to route cargoes through
the North Carolina port. At present
the Southern has lines into both Nor
folk and Charleston, and quite natur-
ally is moving all it's water traffic
over it's own lines into these cities
rather than into Morehead over line
from which it gets no profit.
Employees of the line would beretlt,
too, the governor is certain, because
the Southern would pay wage scale
something like 20 per cent higher
than is now in effect on the Mullet.
An another thing, something the
chief executive isn't saying q word
about, but which undoubtedly is in
the back of his mind. Operation Of

The Seaboard is pioneering in this
work. 1t got a 100000 grant from
the government to buy these engines
The Seaboard was first to introduce
aforementioned equipment on it's

electric locomotives have ever been

The new Seaboard locomotives are
the longest type in the world, each
unit of three locomotives being 210
feet in length. Mr.. Powell said they
are designed to provide the fastest
possible long distance transportation
at the lowest possible cost and with
the utmost comfort, safety and de
