WHATS THE MATTER ANY

Bum Light Service the ; Past Several

Real Cause?
citizen observing the work
ings pftheelectric ' light-system of
High Ppitit the past several months
kneysthat SomethiUg is radicaTly
wrong and it keeps getting worse.
EVerynnow arid then the lights go oft
and stay off for some time, both the
incandescent and the arc light sys
tem. In fact it has almost come to:
the point of -fear, not knowing at
what time the lights will refuse to
burn. The editor of -this paper has
gone home many a night in the
dark and scores of times have we
noticed the street light dead to the
world on East Washington, street
near the M E. church. The moving
picture shows have lost lots of
money and worried no -little on ac
count of the lights going out, the
stores,' residences, hotels and other
places have been annoyed no little.
Surely there is a remedy and it is
needless to say it should be applied.
Every rain in the Southland should
not be sufficient cause to knock the
lights out.
It is strange that all this has hap
pened since the advent of gas into
our city; as before that the service
was almost perfect. Surely the
Public Service Company knows that
the service at present is away off.
It has too big a heart (?)no doubt to
cause all this trouble just because
gas is at hand and cauSe people to
become so worried that they will
refuse to use electric lights any
longer or at least put in gas and thus
take the revenue away from their
beloved town and enrich the pockets
of the Public Service Company.
; However there is something wrotfg
and there's a reason and it should
be made to "come out. in the open."
High Point wants hetter light ser
vice, itLis due us, we must andwill
have it. -What" say you. gentlemen?
AUTO SMASHED ON TRACK
Greensboro, July 28.--R. T. Amos,
of High Point,' has brought suit
against the Southern Railway com
pany for $1,000 damages to his auto
mobile . and $1 ,000 additional as
punitive damages on account of the
collision of a freight engine with his!
car in High Point a tew weeKs ago.
In his complaint he says he attempt
ed to cross the track at a time when
the gates were up and the way ap
peared to be clear; that a freight
train was approaching the crossing
without any bell or whistle sound
ing; that his car went 'dead" on the
track. Then he saw. a freight train
approaching He tried to get the
car pushed out of the way of the
approaching engine, but could not
do so in time to prevent the collision.
A TRIP TO CHESTER, S. C.
The editor visited Chester, S. C
Sunday and Monday on business.
We were very agreeably surprised
to find such a nice little town es-
pecially such a trade, center. The
population -is only about six thou
sand, less than half the size of High
Point, yet the town supports about
three times the number of stores,
being the county seat with a good
"back country" trade. There are a
number of large furniture, clothing
and other stores. The town proper
begins at the depot and runs for
four blocks up to tne top of a hill
and here the street runs in opposite
directions, presenting quite a nice
location for a town. Chester is
"wild" over baseball and when a
Trig game is pulled off there with
their town interested t many of th1
business houses hut ' up shop and
become' enthusiastic rooters. The
Chester team has played 25 games
and lost not a single one and this
week the home team is batting for
championship honors and will no
doubt win. The people of this pro-
gressive town are very cordial and
reflect the inborn Southern hospital
ity on every occasion. It is a model
South Carolina town in many res
pects. Its city government should
be after the commission form of
government instead of the bid way
it would work wonders in this
respect, then more stringent laws
should be enacted.
While there ' we saw .a head-on
collision between two freights. Both
engines remained on the track but
several box cars with their contents
were demolished. -

Railway Business for May
- During May the railways of the
United States received for their ser
vices to the public an average of
$8,230,000 a day; it -cost to run
their trains and tor ether expenses
,of operation $5,920,000 a day; their
taxes were $341,500 a day; their
operatieg income $1,972,322 a day
for tht 220,897 miles of lipe report
ing, or-at the rate of, $8.93 for each
mile of line for each day. Thus -for
.every six; dollars of their earnings
which remained available forrental,
interest on bonds, appropriations for
betterments, improvements and new
construction; and for dividends, the
railways had to pay more than one
dollar in taxes. - '
All of these amounts.are substanti
ally greater, than the similar returns
for Mny, 1912.. They are from the
summary of the earnings and ex
penses compiled by the Bureau of
Railway Economics from the monthly
reports of the' steam railways of the
United States to the Interstate Com
merce, Commission. They iiiclud&
over 95 per cent of the; mileage and
earnings of all of the railways of the
conntry. '; - ' ' , .

The
Coler Rpad v r
'-As the, Carolina & Yadkin River
Railroad (ttie Coleioad) will be- in
operation to High'Fbint by Septemb
er 1st when a .mamraotji celebra
tion is planned for High ; Point, the
following bit ; of history :; of the
road will Be read, with interest:
On June lst,1912, W. N. Coler &
Company, of New Yotk purchased
the Piedmont Railway Company,
from the Jones estate and changed
the name of the "railroad to the
Carolina & Yadkin River Railway.
The road at - that ; time extended
from Thomasville to Denton, N. C.,
a distance of twenty-one miles, pass
ing through the , towns of Light,
Mable, Gordontown, Cid and Snider,
which ship a large amount of cross
ties, chair stock and rough lumber.
Immediately aftr the purchase,
the extension of the road from
Denton to High Rock was started
This extension passes through large
tracts of virgin, oak and pine. The
extension from . Denton to High
Rock was. started the latter part;, of
July, 1912, and finished in February
1913. The construction of this part
of the road is of the ' highest
tyPe'
maximum grade being 1 ' per cent;
curvature less than 4 degrees;
culverts of cast iron pipe and con
crete head walls; also reinforced
box culverts. The two bridges at
Little Creek and Lick Creek are, of
the highest - type, 'sameu specifica
tions being used as on the Norfolk
& Western Railroad, 70 pound steel
being used on the new woik. ' .
At High Rock a connection was
made with the Wins ton-Salem Rail
way' and joint track and yards were
established.' . '-. -'
At the completion of this exten
sionJThomasville enjoyed a direct
connection with the .Winston-Salem
Southbound Railway at High Rock;
also with the Norfolk " St . Western,
the Atlantic Coast: Line and the
Seaboard Air Line Railways.-' - r
;- emddle! March"the Carolina
& Yadkin River Pauwastkhed
construction oh the vextensioii from
Thomasville to High- Point, passing
through a very ricJi . farmipg com
munity. This extension is being
pushed with great rapidity and is
of the higliest class construction; a
"Y" being installed at Thomasville
and also at High Point, connecting
the Southern Railway Belt Line with
the Carolina Yadkin River Rail
way. At High1 Point there will be
exchange tracks and ample storage
tracks.
Outhe completion of this work
High Point will be connected di
rectly with " the Winston-Salem
Southbound, Norfolk & ' Western,
Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard
Air: Line Railways. It will no doubt
be of interest to the manufacturers
of High Point to know that this
road passes through a country
w iere there is approximately 250
million feet of timber Within a
radius of five miles of the railroad.
The company expects to reach all
of the important manufacturing es
tablishments;:both in Thomasville
and High Point in the near future.
As soon as the work is completed
to High Point, work will be started
on the revision of the line between
Thomasville and Dentoni which will
be brought up to.the same standard
as the new work now in progress.
C. W. Lane & Co.,. Inc., railroad co: -tractors,
have the contract for build
ing the road, supervision and engi
neering being done by W. N. Coler
& Co., Engineering Department,
which has offices in High Point.
