FRIDAY, ' OCTOBER 11, 1907. jcdGe rnrrciiARD sustains ' , , Tlllff MASTER, " Judge Pritchard ruled yesterday in the matter of; the appeal to him by the State's counsel In the. rate case, from Standing Master Montgomery, that the State may examine the Ira deyes of the disbursements, in so far as they may bear' upon the pending litigation, of the Southern Railway Company' from June 10, 1105, to July I.-1107, notwithstanding that eoun Bel has bad access to the hooks; that they- may ascertain from the book the original cost of the property to the' Southern Railway Company; hut that they may not examine them as to disbursements prior to June 80, . 1905. We had hoped that Judge Pritchard would see his way clear to 'allow an investigation for as long a ' period and as wide In its scope as any ; one could desire, though the relev- ancy of all the testimony that might ' have been adduced to the question whether 2 1-4. cents Is or is net a fair passenger rate might have been remote. -. This if a period In North Carolina , t when' much is being said and more than is said, Is suspected about cor poration book and what they would show If examined, In the way of the payment ( and receipt of money for ', Illegitimate purposes. It Is therefore a great , pity that there could not1 ,; a searching examination of the rec ord of all public service corporations' (for at least ten years past and a lull chow-down of the , finding. There are strong Intimation that the Sea board Air Line could a tale unfold, and when its case comes to trial, if It ever doe, there ought to be more than a casual look at the books.

' CAPITAL IX THE SOUTH. We Must Obaervp Onr Obligations to Those Who- Have Had Faith. Charleston News' and Courier. ; Genl John Gilt 'president ' of- the Mercantile Truac and Deposit Com pany, of Baltimore, has written to a business man of Charlotte, declining to invest money in a promising local enterprise, because of the antagonism which has been manifested - recently in North Carolina and In other States of the South' towards the rights- of corporation. Gen, GUI says frankly that he u '"not inclined at present to .t consider any proposition in the 8outh.jof his wife In .domestic affairs. There Is too much Populism in the kouui. He expresses, tne .opinion that if the prominent citizens - of Charlotte would come out id de nounce the virtual confiscation of property involved in certain recent executive and Judicial proceedings in that state, "it would have a good ef fect In restoring confidence and busi ness relations with that section of the country,, which baa always com manded mf love and affection."1 -? General GUI ha always been devot ed to the interests of the South. He fought with distinguished gillantry in tho armies of the Confederacy, and since the close of the war hie devoted his efforts to the development of the Industrial South. He cannot there fore, be compared with any, of the high financiers whohave foraged up on this part of the country, and his present attitude upon the question of making investments m soutnern en terprlnes must therefore, fee regarded with concern hy'those who would at- tMct outside capital to tnis . region. We cannot be too careful of bur obli gations to those who have had faith in us. The view expressed by some very narrow-minded and near-sight ed spokesmen for the South, that "we do not need th aid or outsiders; we are able to finance ourselves" does not represent the true sentiment of - the real builders of tha-South. We .agree most" heartily wltb the opinion expreswd by The Charlotte Observer that those who countenance radical legislation or other, action which drives capital away through unreasonable hostility to It are ene- imes 01 me omn, 01 tneir neignotiia lind of themselves." We must be honest with ourselves. It I In the htffht sense dishonest, after tolling outside capital Into the South, for the neoole of the South to attempt tne e tr action of . the , va?uo created by such. Invesraent. The conditions in North Carolina towards tne wsiea in terests of that State are disquieting in tho largest sense. .We appear to have named through our period of Insanity in i South Carolina, "and thli State a tirnt. we are Pleased to know, is regarded as ratner more conaervanvo. than some or our sister oumern Slates, In which the demagogue has been exalted and is seeking to accom plish his selfish nuroote under?, the cover of law.

This case-1 now pend ing before the Supreme Court of North Carolina, It 1s proposed to argue the two cases together, as they present the same question. : There would be- no particular advantage m asking' the court to advance one of these coses at the expense of the other, for it is not probable that either can be reached for argument prior to the new year, even though the motion to advance Is granted.
