Reassembling of the General Assembly Seems Inevi table. be called and all matters at issue placed before tliat body, to the end that it should take such steps to control and regulate the railroads in the State as, in the light of present developments seemed just and proper. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. Governor Glenn Gives the Railroads His Ultimatum of Conference and Adjustment of Pend ing Wrangle. Following the failure of yesterday's conference in Raleigh between Gover nor Glenn and his Council and Assis tant United States Attorney Sandford, as reported in the Argus telegrams, the following is the text of the message wired by the Governor to solicitor Brown at Asheville: v. Raleigh, N. C, July 25, 1907. Hon. Mark W. Brown.' Solicitor 15th District. Asheville, JT. C: Referring to your telegram ot the 23rd containing suggeston of Mr. San ford as the basis of settlement between the State and railroads, I have to say I cannot accept Mr. Sanford's proposi tion. It annuls the State statute by suspending the rate. Section 9. Article 1 of the Constitu tion of North Carolina provides: "All power of suspending laws or tbe exe cution of laws, by any authority, with out the consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their rights, and ought not to be exercised I suggest the following as a basis of settlement: 1st. Let the railroads put the 2 l- cent rate into immediate effect, pend ing final determination of the lega questions involved. . ' 2nd. The State to appeal from the order of Judge Pritchard discharging parties in Asheville on writ of habeas corpus. Jrd. The Southern Railway to ap peal to the Supreme Court of Nrth Carolina in the Wake county case, and if the case is there decided against it to take the case by writ of error to Su preme Court of the United States. 4th. Both sides to co-operate to have both of said cases advanced and argued together and speedily determiDded. 5th. The State at its option to indict the Atlantic Coast Line in one case. 6th. All other indictments to be stopped pending final determination of the case. 7th. The Governor to advise all peo pie against bringing any penalty suits pending final determination of the questions involved, and to ask the peo pie as a whole to acquiesce in this ar rangement. 8th. The suit pending before Judge Pritchard to be diligently prosecuted without the State, however, waiving any question of jurisdiction. R. B. GLENN, Governor Being asked as to his interview with Mr. Sanford, ot the Department ot Jus . tice, the Governor stated that the sub stance of said interview was contained in the telegram of Mr. Brown and his reply to it. That having to leave bei fore the reply could be reduced to writ ing, Mr. Sanford requested the answer be Wired him at Asheville, through Mr Brown. The Governor says that Mr. Santord stated that while he did not represent the railrtfads, he knew the officials of the railroads would be glad to see th Governor if he desired it. The Govern or replied thatf the railroad authori ties desired to see him, he would be glad to meet them at any time and enter into any arrangement consistent with the terms of his telegram, but would be useless to confer unless they were willing lor the rate to go into ef fect pending litigation, cited in his tel egram, to annul the will of the Legis lature. Asked what be would do if the rail1 roads refused the terms offered and still insisted on controlling the State courts through the Federal courts, the Governor replied that he would con tinue as best he . could to enforce the State law doing nothing" ' revolution ary himself, or out of the legal course, and advising no officer to do so, but simply in a legal and dignified way, as he had already done, upholding the Constitution and laws of both the State and the Nation. He said he wanted no conflict. The Governor said it now looked to him inevitable that an extra session ef the General Assembly would have to inal Vote of General Assembly Set for July 30. (By special wire to the Akgus.) Atlanta, Ga., July 26. Georgia's prohibition bill, now pending before the lower house, will .be made the pecial order of business for Tuesday, July 30, and a final vote will be taken that day. This agreement was reached in the House today following the filibuster ing tactics of the minority, which end ed at 11 o'clock last night after nearly fourteen hours of exciting maneuvers, when adjournment was precipitated by a personal encounter between two i pro minent members of the House. The order, which was adopted by unani mous consent, practically cuts off all further filibustering on the floor ot the House, it provides that the bill shall be placed on its third reading immediate ly after reading the journal next Tues day, that both sides shall be given equal time for discussion and the amemdments that may be submitted; that all amendments shall be on the speaker's desk by 2.30 o'elock and that the vote shall be taken at four o'clock without further motion or de bate. It further provides that the galleries shall be kept cleared of all visitors during the pendency of the bill. With a majority of nearly four-fifths favor ing the bill, which has already been passed by the Senate, and with Gover nor Smith pledged to sign the bill when it shall be passed, prohibition in Georgia appears to be a foregone con clusion.

Hoke Smith, the n)w governor of Georgia, is perhaps the only governor of a Southern state who has gone into office on a strictly anti-lynehing plat form. In his recent inauguration ad dress Governor Smith 'declared he would '"make strenuous -endeavors to prevent lynehings." IT IS NOW ALMOST A CERTAINTY. Gov.

(By Special Wire to ,the Argus.) Raleigh, July 26. Gov. Glenn to-day is positive and decided that it is his duty to convene the legislature in ex traordinary session, unless the Southern Railway and Atlantic Coast Line will agree to put the 2 1-4 cents rate in ef fect Dendinar the anneals from the Ral eigh and Asheville cases to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Governor -says that upon the legislative branch of the State govern ment rests the ultimate responsibility, and that branch should be given the opportunity to meet it when the law, so recently passed, is defied and violated. Gov. Glenn is in telegraphic commu nication with Asheville today, where Asst. U. S. Attorney-General Sanford and the railway high officials and Judge Pritchard are conferring. Gov- Glenn stated that he had at noon instructed Solicitor Brown and Special Attorney Merrimon to phone him any developments that may arise today. The Governor is looking for some thing later this afternoon, when his final determination as to calling the General Assembly will be decided upon. Francis Kay Pendleton,whom Mayor McClellan has aopointed corporation eounsel of New York city, is a son of the late Senator George Pendleton, of Ohio, who was the candidate for Vice- President on the same ticket on which the Mayor's father, General Mc Clellan, was nominee fox President in 1864. Senator Bankhead of Alabama is the only new Democratic Senator who comes straight from the House to the Senate. He had served his tenth term (twenty years) in the House, the Fifty-ninth Congress being his last, and will go to the Senate with the re gular session of that body in the Six tieth Congress. & William H.

N. C. This the 18th day of July, 1907. JAS. R. HATCH, .Clerk of the Superior of Wayne County: North Carolina THE STATE'S GOOD CAUSE. Charlotte Observer: Judge Pritchard is not properly blameable for employing, as in th Asheville penalty case, any reasonable methods to protect his claim to ex elusive jurisdiction in the rate eases It is really because he began by using that jurisdiction in such a high-handed manner as to arouse strong resentment that any contest has been made. He enjoined a sovereign State upon grounds which we do not believe that any Federal 'judge in the North Fed eral judges North and South are quite different would have deemed sufficient for enjoining an individual or a corpo ration. Being advised by able lawyers that it is not altogether remedyless, the State would have shown great lack self-respect had it submitted without first testing the legal means proposed The plain fact is that whether or no Judge Pritchard and the two railroad companies can maintain themselves at law or induce the administration back them up as a matter or course they are morally in the wrong. And whether or not the State's opposition meets with any success it will more than justify itself by placing on record North Carolina's protest against an ex ercise of arbitrary power which not only works pecuniary injustice but ranks among the most inexcusable af fronts ever leveled at the rights of the States. Be Grateful and Charlotte Observer. Philosophical. We are beastly ungrateful to com plain of the prevailing warm weather. It is not only that we should think of June, with its delightful combination of spring and autumn days, but of the present fact that from these fierce suns the cotton plant is getting: exactlv what it needs and is rejoicing and humping itself. Every day it is catch ing up its behind-liandedness and for the season could not look better. The more of this heat the better for it. Only humanity and the early corn are suffer ing and the good God can be trusted to supply their needs with rain in a few days. Anyhow, don't fret; don't be- impatient; but be grateful and philoso phical. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. Winston-Salem, N. C, July 26. The grand jury, just before adjourning this afternoon, returned an indictment and presentment against the Southern rail way and W. S. Hailey, agent at Rural Hall, for violation of the passenger rate law. County Treasurer G. L. Beck was the witness before the grand jury, he having paid the agent at Rural Hall the old rate for a ticket to Winston- Salem. This action or the grand Jury was taken after a second consultation with Judge Moore, "sed by the foreman if it wumu violation of the oath of the grand jury if they failed to make a presentment. The court ruled that it would be a violation with the facts that were before them. After wrestling over the question ot educed passenger rates, the grand jury came into court about 10:45 this morning and asked for additional in structions as to the law provided in such cases. Judge Moore quoted the pertinent portions of the statute limit ing the maximum charge for passen gers to 2 1-4 cents per mile. The penalty for disobeying this law al lows $500 to the person aggrieved by the act and an agent who disregards the law may be convicted of a mis demeanor and fined and. imprisoned or both. "This is a valid or invalid act of the Legislature," said Judge Moore. "The railroad has secured an injunction through the Federal Court depriving the corporation commission of the right of decision. This law went into effect July 1. If the validity of the act f the Legislature is challenged the only defense is that the act is so un just and detrimental that it amounts to the confiscation of the railroad's prop erty. vThe party challenging the law must show that it is unfair and uncon stitutional. . The State does not like to say that the acts of the Legislature are unconstitutional.and as yet no Superior Court has questioned the validity of the act. It is a valid law until it has been found invalid by a "body of men compe tent to decide it. Thus far it has not been found unconstitutional. If the law has been violated you should have the violator indicted, and it afterwards the law is found unconstitutional he may obtam redress. It is my personal opinion that it is useless to hear any more cases of this nature until the de cision ot the United States Supreme Courtis handed, down. As the law now stands an infraction of it should be considered a misdemeanor. Note infractions of this law in the county and take action. according to the facts brought to your knowledge." Solicitor Graves stated that there was some question as to whether or net the jurisdiction over the case had been con ferred upon the recorder. Judge Moore replied that the act creating the re corder's court enumerated the cases that should be tried before the recorder, and that this one was not included, and that the Superior Court was the proper place to try such cases. . Death of Mrs. Elizabeth J. Farrior. It is with exceeding regret that wa chronicle the death of Mrs. Elizabeth J. Farrior, aged 69, which occurred in this city this morning at 10:30 o'clock, after an illness of 8 weeks.
