Chairman McNeill, of the cor poration commission, also returned to day. Both of theae officials were there lnregard to the Southern Rail way rate case. Governor Glenn re marked tabout the investigation of the bgoks, which is now going on, in a humdrum "fashion, that 4t had been agreed to make a sort of informal In vestigation of the books and vouch ers and to give out nothing until the work was completed.' He added that If anything got Into the papers it would bo accidental. : The Governor was asked If he would make any speevhes soon, and he replied that he had cut out all en gagements to spe,ak until October. Tp- day he-found on his desk Invitations to lecture- at Manchester, Hartford, and New Haven, Conn. ; Waco, Texas; Rochester, N. Y.; Norfolk, Va.; Knox-; vllle, Tenn., and other points.

Yet he has now on his desk 25 Invitations to speak in this State. He goes to Connecticut in January to give two lectures, one at Manches ter January 9th, and the other, at Hartford the lQlh, these being upon the South, he Saving 'been asked to take this as his subject.

He has been es peclally Invited tp go to Savannah, to deliver the address at the laying of the corner-stone of the $209,000 Y. M. C. A. It was his original plan to do this in September,' tout when the committee found the Governor could not go this month, it wrote him that it wouldp stpone the date to suit his convenience, so desirous was It to have him present. v The newspaper publishers here are all in line against the newspaper com bine or trust which is putting up the prices so ' sharply on newspaper and which announces that it Is to be rais ed on book paper. Botih the State and the defense an nounce readiness for the trial Of the Rowlands for poisoning. Attorney Ryan, for the defense, told Slate So- SlcMor Jones to-day that as far as he knew the case would certainly be taken up October 30th.

CHEAP PUBLIC PRINTING, It was remarked to-day that North Carolina was .getting her public printing done for at least 20 per cent, less than the cost In other States. . The complaint here is as to the delay in getting printing done. It Is probable that now that there Is so complete an equipment of the public prlntery that this will be very largely obviated. Many of the pub lie laws enacted during the last session of the Legislature are not yet bound. The rush of printing work at Raleigh has been very great al ways, but is now greater than ever before, and there are two of the finest private printing establishments here in the South. The public prlntery is a-private concern, of course, the work being done by con tract made every two years. Next week the Supreme Court will take up the docket of appeals from the fifth district. The dockets are fairly heavy this term. ONLY STOP 'AT ; dlARLOTTE.
