Raleigh.
Supt. J. 8. Mann of the State's Pris
on was unable to say what effect the
receivership for the Watauga ft Yad
kin Railroad as a part of the proper
ties being developed by the Orandin
Lumber Company will have on the
work of state convicts in the con
struction of this road. The work by
the convicts is in compliance with
legislative mandate, the state provid
ing for the convicts and taking stock
In the railroad as compensation, the
railroad company merely providing
the camp, quarters and tools used.
Thirty-eight ' additional convicts
were sent there from the 220 turned
back on the state by the company
developing the power plant a* Whit
ney on the Yadkin River, for which
the prison management was receiving
SI.OO a day. This makes a squad of
GO working convict* that the state has
at work on the Watauga & Yadkin.
There was much comment In atate
office* on the fact that the manage
ment of the Watauga & Yadkin River
Itallroad charges up to the pfTect of
the Justice interstate freght rate act
the disaster that ha* come upon the
roud, alleging tliai the long and short
haul 4 clause cut them out of half the
business theretofore enjoyed' and put
the crodlt of short-line roods generally
In this state "on the blink." The re
deverehtp was created in Ashevllle
by Judge Boyd of the United States
Court. Officers of practically all the
short line roads in the state, it will
be recalled, have a special legislative
committee at work In preparation for
a vigorous demand to be made on the
uext legislature for relief from various
effects of the Justice act.
North Carolina Win* Boundary Suit
Washington.—The dispute between
the states of Tennessee and North
Carolina o\er their boundary waa de
cided by the Supreme Court in favor
of North Carolina.
The jdispute arose over the n»ct
location of the state boundary as pro
jected by a commission In 1821. Both
■tates laid claim to some forty thous
and acre* of mountain timber land
near Slick Rock Creek and for years
each state has imposed taxes ou the
lands.
Justice McKennu, in announcing
the court's decision, said that after
careful consideration of all the argu
ments and the evidence, including the
usual amount of conflicting expert
testimony the court found the line to
be as claimed by North Carolina.
The Supreme. Court of the United
States is the only court that has Juris
diction in a controversy between two
state, and this suit was brought to
th© Supreme Court of the United
States by Attorney General Blckett
about five years ago
... The court ordered testimony to be
taken, and this was done at many
points, both In North Carolina and
Tennessee.
The evidence covered about 2,000
pages of printed matter with some
SO odd maps.
The property In controversy is es
tlmated to be worth something over
$2,000,000, and the people of North
Carolina will be gratified that the con
tention of the state with respect to
this property, has been sustained at
©very point.

The report of leaf tobacco sales of

shows 62.901,881 pounds sold during
October with 58.752,606 during Octo

Over 200 Ceuwlets fee Railroad Work!
The big squad of state convicts
averaging from *OO to 220 that bare
been hired out by the state prison's
management at $1.60 to $175 a day
on the .Whitney development work
are to be returned to the prison at
once and will be distributed among
several of the railroad and turnpike
construction enterprises that are re
ceiving aid through this prison labor
in exchange for stock in the roads.
To this end the council of state in
special session recently directed Snpt
J. S. Mann of the prison to distribute
these convicts between the Bat Cave
Turnpike, the Watauga k Yadkin
Valley and the Elkln * Alleghany
Railroads as be may And most ex
pedient.
This action followed a formal no
tice from the contractors that the use
of the convicts would be discontinued
at once ss conditions bad developed
that made It impracticable to use the
convict labor further In this work.
While it is conceded that the Euro
pean war oondltions have bad the ef
fect of necesaitatlng curtailment of
the work, the development being
largely through French capital, it is
also explained that the work at Whit
ney has reached the state of de
velopment that convict labor would
now come in competition with free la
bor and the prison management does
not care to stand for such competi
tion. Masons and stone workers are
understood to be largely necessary
now in the work.
Ths distribution of these convicts
that have been working at Whitney
among the railroad enterprises of the
Watauga & Yadkin Valley, the Elkln
* Alleghany and the Pat Cave Turn
pike will mean very much more rapid
progress for construction work of
each, although It will mean that in
the place of the cash revenue received
for their labor at Whitney there must
how be taken only stock in the sev
eral railroad enterprises for the labor
expended on each. . ,
SIOO,OOO in War Revenua Stamps.
Collector of Internal Revenue J. W.
Bailey has ordered SIOO,OOO In war
revenue stamps as a starter for be
ginning the collection of these spe
cial taxes December 1, And it is stat
ed In the revenue headquarters here
that there is every indication that this
war revenue will run considerably In
excess of all other annual revenues
heretofore collected in this state. A
special feature of the situation, too,
is that in all cases where those llabls
for these war taxen fail to make their
returns by December 1 there is a
provision that they must pay a penalty
of 50 per cent in addition to the regu
lar tax. The war revenue taxes cover
a wide scope of subjects that are nu
merous in this There is the
tax on capital and of all
hanks, tax on all deuWs in manufac
tured and amoklmr-tobacoo, taxes on
numerous lines of drug stocks, taxes
on all billiard and pool tables, taxes
on all notes for borrowed money and
on deeds conveying lands.
