Receiver for A. & N. C. Railroad The
Contempt Proceedings Three Men
in Jail as Result of Charges
Against Judge Peebles
Gubernatorial Situa
tion, Etc.
Crri'iiiil-iic-e of The Cemrlcr.
Raleigh, May 30. The hearing of
the application of John P Cuyler, of
Aow Jersey, a private, stockholder.
for the appointment of a receiver for
the Atlantic & N. C. Railroad, was
taken up by Judge ruriiell 111 the U
S District court here Saturday
Counsel representing the complain
ant and the railroad (the latter being
employed by the State to resist this
second attempt to place the road jn
the hands of a receiver) were all
present. They inclu !e the follow
ing: W W Fleming, of New York,
W W Clark, of New Bern, T M
Argo and W II Day, of Raleigh, all
for the complainant; W C Maxwell,
of Charlotte, representing K S Finch
(the former complainant in a similar
application;) Attv-Gen. (Jilmer, Jlx
Gov. Jarvis, R II Buttle, James II
Pon, C M HuBbee and W C Monroe,
for the State and the railroad
Presideut Brvan, Supt Dill, Road
musters Carlisle aud other witnesses
were also present. There was a
wtrm legal contest, but the result.
was us expected.
A receiver was appointed, and
Thomas D Meares, of Wilmington,
is the new receiver. Jle was former
ly connected with the Seaboard Air
Line and is the man whom former
receiver McBee engaged as an expert
to examine the books, etc. of the
company. He will take charge at
once as temporary receiver of the
property, tiling a bond in the sum of
ol),OUO. .Lawyer S I. Kvun, of Kill
eigh was appointed special master in
the case, to take evidence and re
port his lindiiigs to the court July
1.), to which date the hearing wus
continued.
Counsel for the railroad took an
appeal to the Circuit Court und the
appeal bond was at once given.
Judge Ptirnell stated that if the
tockholders so desired, they could
hold a meeting and vole on any
propositions to lease the roud; that
if they vote to accept offer to lease
they could submit the proposition to
the court, and if found sutifuctorv
he would dismiss the receivership
mil thus the mutter stands tit tins
writing.
The climax came Saturday even
ing in the contempt proceedings
iguinst the liiimberton lawyers
when Judge Peebles ordered that the
three men who- made ufliduvits, on
their own knowledge, charging the
judge with drunkenness be commit
ted to jail for 30 days and 'ined !250

ing the limit of the law. They are
E W Kerr, of Sampson county, C K
urroil, ot Duplin, unit K J fcouth-
erlaud, of Sampson. They are to be
irrested today (Monday.) Their
only relief is through habeas corpus
proceedings, and counsel will at
once sue out writs before one of the
judges of the Supreme Court. Pre
vious to this sensational turn in the
proceedings, it bud been agreed to
leinove the fmther hearing of the
ease to Cumberland county, the date
being set for J line 14, it raycttcville,
mid that Judge George II Brown be
asked to hear the case, he to le the
sole judge and pass on both the law
and the evidence. So the end of this
unprecedented highly sensational
ease is not yet reached. Judge
Brown declines to hear the case.
The Democratic state convention
is only four weeks off, and as the
time approaches interest grows in
the gubernatorial contest Canvass
ing the returns from the counties
that have chosen delegates up to
this date, a simple sum in addition
shows that Major Stedman is un-
iiiestioualily still holding the posi
tion of leading candidate, with
Messrs. Glenn, l timet and Davidson
following in the older named. Some
of the newspapers and other friends
ot ilaj. Mednian claim that he al
ready has from 40 to 50 more votes
than Mr. Glenn and contend that
this lead will be gradually und large
ly increased from now on. Lieut.
Gov. Turner's adherents are not
making much noise, but it is plain
to see that they remain hopeful of
the final outcome.
The race for the Lieut. Governor
ship is also proving to be most inter
esting, and is confined now to Col.
George L. Morton, of New Hanover,
and Judge Francis D. Winston, of
Bertie. 1 be friends of both appear
to be sanguine of success. The per
sonal popularity of both gentlemen,
coupled with their well kuown abil
ity and fitness, is making a very
strong candidate of each of thorn.
1 be past week has been crowded
with "commencement" events at the
various colleges. . That of fhe Ag
licultural & Mechanical College was
one of the uiost successful in the
history of that great and useful in
stitution of practical education.
There were 3? members of the grad
uating class this year, upon whom
the degrees were conferred as fol
lows: Master of agriculture, 1 (the
first time tins uegroe has been con
ferred at the A. & M.); bachelors of
agriculture, 4; bachelors of engineer
ing: civil, 5; electrical, 8; mechani
cal, 12; textile, 5; bachelor of science,
1. rrrsident Winston, assisted liv
an able faculty, are accomplishing a
wore at tms college of incalculable
oenent to the young men of North
Carolina the "poor boys" and those
of limited moans especially. The
ucuiauu in uw grauuaiua ll even
greater than th innnl. mnA it.
I Winston tells me that there is not a
single graduate in the 13 rears of
I its history thut is not today in pot-
session of a desirable and profitable
possession, at some good business in
the industrial world.
Is it any wonder that so many
people refuse to credit many things
that they see published in the aver
age newspaper when so many in
stances of misrepresentation are con
stantly calling for correction ? We
ought to be more careful. Now
conies the case of Dr. Hyde, the
eminent divine and scholarly presi
dent of Bowdoin College, who is on
next Stinduy to preach the nnniiiil
commencement sermon at Trinity
College. Several weeks ago a North
Carolina paper charged him with
uttering sentiments, in an uddress
at Yale College, that were alleged to
smock strongly of skepticism and
heterodoxy. Other papers copied it
and some of them denounced him
and the authorities of Trinity for
selecting "such a man" to preach to
North Carolina boys, Jfcc. Those
who know Dr. Hyde or are familiar
with his career knew the assertions
were false und based upon misrepres
entation. Dr. T. N. Ivey, editor of
the Raleigh Christian Advocate was
one of these. So he wrote to Dr.
Hyde and a few days ago received
just such an answer as he expected.
In this letter Dr. Hyde explains how
the report originated "through the
absurd statement" of u repoiter who
seized upon one of four "illustra
tions" (omitting the others and ig
noring nine-tenths of the address
entirely) and "in an exaggerated
form published it as the sum and
substance of the discourse," thus
completely misrepresenting the speak
er. The Bactuluurcate address at
Trinity will be delivered Tuesday,
June 7, by Dr. F. C. Woodward, oi
Richmond. Graduating orations on
the evening of the same day. On
Wednesduy morning Prof. Peabody,
of Harvard University, will deliver
the commencement uddress. I hese
eminent men, and a rich treat is in
stoie for all who attend.

Mv position is that Judge Bvnuin

if they weie theie as alleged in the

The Value of Training.
(Walter H. Paget
Iooked ut from the point of view
of the individual, it is clear, then,
that it puys an individual to be train
ed. But how is it, looked ut from
the point of view of the whole com
munity ''. If 1 want a man to shovel
dirt, perhaps 1 do not need a trained
mun 1 want a man tor TO cents u
duy, not for $2.50. If everybody in
a community be trained, who w ill
shovel dirt and chop the wood and
draw the water? Does not very
community require a larger number
of untrained, low-priced iiich ?
No!
That is the fatal doctrine that our
fathers fell into and lost leadership
thereby. It is this doctrine that has
cost the Southern States a 100 years
of progress, for this is nothing but
a seuel of slavery. If every man in
the community was trained, vou
could have your dirt shoveled more
cheaply than now. A trained nimi
would drive his scoop to youi ilirt.
attach it to an electric wire and
shovel your dirt more accurately,
more quickly, more cheaply than any
negro in Alabama can do.
That sort of activity is harwer.inir
all over the industrial world. Men
once pegged shoes by hand. They
are nefftred more cheanlv bv niachiu-
pegging, and a mun who invented
shoetx-ggiug machinery lately died 1
and left a great legacy to Harvard j
college. Men once shoveled iron 1

they are laid on the roadbed. It is j
precisely this kind of trained activity
that has enabled the United States
to take the lead in the industrial
world. Here is the whole secret of
it training from the very bottom
up.

said last, week to the Twentieth Cen
tury Club, Boston, "During Spanish
domination our insular budget was
i,2,TO0,0OO, which included the pay
of the army, navy an l church, and
also the tensions. Now the annual
budget is over $3,000,000 and we do
not have to pay urmy, navy, church,
or pensions. What becomes of the
money? Three years ago I went to
visit my country, aud it broke my
heart to sec the change it bad ex
perienced, not only financially, but
also socially and morally." This is
the way we carry our civilization and
Christianity to "inferior people.

here contained arsenic. It will he
recalled that Stroud's wife and step
child ate bread made from the meal
Stroud hud taken home ami were
made very sick, the child finally dy
ing after a couple of days of intense
suffering. The hearing before the

ing an examination of the iue,t, vwll

likely that Stroud will be charged
