XThy Uio Prohlbitioa Bill Was Given Saach Prominence Politics In Eve rything Pleas For the Small Railroad- Reward for Criminals To Prosecute Vigorous Prohibition Oampaign Senate About Ready to Adjourn. Messenger Bureau, Raleigh, N. C. January 28, 1908. One of the senators remarked today that one of hi constituents told him when the epecial session began to wire him whenever anything of a stirring character was about to break loose. The senator said that this morning he had wired his friend to come down and hear the discussion on the railway rate bUl, basing the telegram upon occur ences In the senate last night when the , bill came up. There is general com . nient on the wisdom of the temperance people in getting their bill through be fore the great matter for which the . legislature was called together. They ,,H bad the pleasure of seeing thier own matter completely overshadow that which the legislature was called spec ially to consider; namely, the rate iriat- '' ter, and there is said to be not a few people in the state who are very glad this is the cac, as it was not desir ed to have the rate matter cut so large . a figure as it did some months, in fact weeks, ago. This has been a rather history making little session of the legislature, and no little politics is injecting into almpst everything. The . date of the election on the prohibition question Is fixed at the end of April in order to get that matter out of -.the way of candidates high and low r. in . the . coming .campaign which prom ises to be quite full or interest. ' ' The attitude of the republicans in this state has some interesting features too. A republican said today that his party was now made up of office hold ers and it was a close corporation, those inside thinking the smaller num ber the greater the profits, and hence here la no desire to enlarge the ntrength of the forces. The negro vot er now cuts no figure with the North Carolina republicans, or with the na tional republicans, (either, for that matter. It is said that with the com ing election fewer negroes will vote than ever before and yet at the last election barely 4000 of them cast bal lots. Some of the white republicans are frank enough to admit that they do not want to see the negro voter a factor in any way and although the negroes as a rule are very reticent, some of them admit that they care much less for white republicans than they do even for democrats. The small railroads are very much interested in getting relief for their lines from the legislature in the mat ter of freight rates, etc. There are about twenty such roads and last week they got out a leaflet which has been widely circulated among the members. President John A. Mills of the Raleigh and Southport road seems to be tak ing the lead in this fight for the les ser lines and has issued a new leaf let to the members in which he says that only five years ago the little roadrf were not making any money, though it cost 25 per cent, less to op erate them than at present and freight rates were higher in most respects than they are today and with much higher passenger rates. President mills says that it costs' his road nearly $25,000 a year more to pay actual op erating expenses than it did five years ago for the same service. The big roads own the freight, cars and he says they have jumped the price on the lit tle lines for the use of them, this not being due to the Southern, Seaboaxd Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line, but to the big roads in the north and west which own the majority of the cars in use. President Mills declared the conditions now existing, will, if con- tlnued, bankrupt every short line rail road in North Carolina and that he does not believe the people want such a thing to happen, but that they de sire a good freight service and a safe and comfortable passenger service at a living rate for the road. He says ' Ihe poor , service will continue mi! ess the little roads are allowed to charge full cost for what they giv? to their patrons and that railroad ImikHng has stopped forever unless ilu men who are going to put their money am en ergy into it . get a reasonable 'reeorv. nerr,e for their effort;.; lar.y; rural - - ' -districts are suffering now for rall .wa. facilities. Mr. Mills built the road ''from "Raleigh to Fayettevllle and the people eftjoy;.-. it,, but he ha? learned inat a road is not what thb: :pc?!c tbfnks it is, for in the ten years sinee sE5ltega5?prk; ha has neV2t received a cent-of interest. He cj'lsipi. the leeislatmv. to help, instead of destroy r Ihef jtttle Voads. i ) ,, .,, f. TJierfs is "a bill .before" the legislature ' requiring railways to make application tar. the corporation commissions in cases where they desire to take off pas- & r.- seneer trains, and with, a penalty for ! ,,... -gucll- action unless by permission of . the commission. .This-quite largely .. : grow3 out! of a case on the Western ! : North Carolina railroads where wo passenger trains have been taken off. Conditions there have been investigat ed; by the mountain member ! of the - Commission.

Among the prominent visitors - to Raletgh is President Finley of the Southern Railway who has his head quarters in his private car. Chief Counsel Thom was here a couple of days last week. President Finley has made a very pleasant impression by hi? strong personality and also by his manner and words, lie has won quite a reputation . as a speaker, not only here but in other states.
