Death ( an Old Lady.
Miss Betsey Cannady, one of the old
est inhabitants of Mecklenburg, died at
her home a few miles from tne city
yesterday. She was said to be about
97 years old, although she was so reti
cent on the subject of her age that very
few people really knew how old she
was, and it is only by collateral circum
stances that it is learned. She was a
native of the county, and had many
reminiscences of its early history
which she was wont to relate with that
pleasure which old people take in re
calling the things of their youth.
Among other historical recollections
shftnsfidtn aav that she remembered
when a school girl that a Mrs. Cook,
who kept a tavern in a frame house
where stands the building in which Mr
J. Harty now has his china store, once
called her and a companion into the
house and powdered their faecs, re
marking as she did so that they could
now say they had been powdered from
General Washington's powder box.
The President had stopped at Mrs.
Cook's on his Southern tour some
years before, and had then probably
left this souvenir.

, A rePrter of The Observer yester
terday called on Governor Vance, hop
ing to learn something of the action of
thecommissioners of , the Western
North Carolina road at their meeting
in. Raleigh, Wednesday. The scribe
found the Governor even more commu
nicative on the affairs of that much
discussed . corporation than . his most
sanguine expectations had led him to
hope for.
The reporter began by asking what
action, if any, the commissioners had
taken. -
"All that I can tell you for publica
tion,'' he answered, is that we officially
notified Governor Jarris, who is him
self one of the commissioners, you
know, that the assignees of the road
were not coming up to the contract.
We had refrained from doing this be
fore, but this time we were all agreed."
In what particulars do you accuse
them of failing?"
"The official notification brings four
separate charges:
"1st. In the language of the contract
they had not 'prosecuted the work with
diligence and energy.'
"2nd. They had failed to keep a force
on the Ducktown branch sufficient to
complete the road to Pigeon river by
the 1st of July, the time in which they
were required to complete it by the
contract.
"3rd, They failed to reach Pigeon
river and Paint Rock by the 1st of July.
"4th. They are daily discriminating
against North. Carolina towns and ci
ties." "What is the effect of this notice?"
"It has no intrinsic foree. The bill
provides simply that the commission
ers watch the progress of the work and
report thereon to the Governor. It pro
vides further that they shall make
this notice before declaring a failure
in complying with the contract, and
even after such declaration the bill pro
vides ninety days of grace, to the con
tractors or their assignees before the
Governor shall take steps on behalf of
the State to have the contract legally
annulled. You know, of course, that
the commissioners in the capacity of
commissioners have no power to act;
they onlyjreport officially to the Gover
nor." " "I notice that in your statement of
the com mission trs' charges, you speak
of the 1st of last July as the time on
which their failure violates the limit
allowed by the contract. I know that
that was the original time within which
the completion to Pigeon river and
Paint Rock was required, but the pres
ent controllers of the road claim, I un
derstand, an extension of the time to
the 15th of November. The commis
sioners have the right to make such ex
tension ; have they not done so ?"
"True enough. They do claim that
the commissioners made such exten
sion. You have observed that we ig
nored such claim. Such claim is in the
first place founded on a fraud, and in
the second place the present controllers
have not eveucomplied with the condi
tions annexed to the consent to the ex
tension of time under which they claim.
No lawyer who knows the circum
stances will ever honestly give a favor
able opinion as to the legal or present
operation of the instrument by which
the extension they claim was granted.
I will give you the history of the whole
thing.'p
Governor Vanco took a fresh chew of
tobacco while the reporter sharpened
his pencil and looked anxiously at the
diminishing thickness of hi3 note book.
"In the latter part of last April," he
resumed, "as I was passing through
Greensboro on my way to Washington,
Col. Andrews came to me and asked
my consent to an extension of the time
from the 1st of July. I declined to give
my consent without consultation with
the commissioners. I went on to Wash
ington and in a few days received a
letter from Gov. Jarvis desiring me to
attend a meeting of the commissioners
in Raleigh. I did so. The request of
the present controllers for an extension
of time was renewed at that meeting.
We, the commissioners Gov. Jarvis,
Dr. Worth and myself required that
the application for the extension should
be made in the name of the assignees
of the Western North Carolina railroad,
and not, as it was made, in the name of
the Western North Carolina railroad
company simply. We also agreed
to consent only on the further condi
tion that the terms of such extension
should require the assignees to keep
continually on the two lines a sufficient
number of hands to complete the work
within the extended time. There may
possibly have been one or two other
unimDortant conditions demanded, I
Tint. rAnllAftr.! hut the Dresent con
trollers did not comply with these con
ditions and the extension was not
granted. I returned, however, to Wash
ington with the understanding between
the two other commissioners and my
self that they, a majority oi tne commis
sioners. were to sign the grant of ex
tension and to consider that I consent
ed on the compliance by the present
ontrollers with the demanded con
ditions. At the expiration of two
wPP.lrs there had been no re-
renewed aDolication for the extension
comolvini? with the conditions. I con
r.l uded that the present controllers were
procrastinating to gain time, and wrote
fetters to Raleigh to Gov. Jarvis and
Dr. Worth, withdrawing my consent to
th eTtension under anY circumstances,
and heceriner them not to act without
me. Both letters reached Raleigh on
the same day, and Gov
the citv received his.
Jarvis being in
Mr. Bain, Ur,
Worth s clerk, forwarded the letter to
the Doctor to Asheboro, where he was
at the time. From his action I presume
Col. Andrews became aware ot the let
ters and their purpott, for he sent a
messenger on the same train which
carried my letter to Dr. Worth. When
the train reached High FointCol. An
drews' messenger hired a horse and
beat the. mail to Asheboro. He imme
diately waited on Dr. Worth and ob
tained his signature to an extension of

ated bv the signatures of two of
the commissioners, one of them having

also from the fact that even its condi
tions have not been complied with, a
sufficient number ofhands to complete
the lines to the proposed points not
having been put on the road within six
weeks after the signing of the grant of
