Raleigh. Aug. 29.?'This past weak
was a quiet one in. the Capital City,
probably the last quiet one for spme'
time as Governor McLean is expected
back before this week la out and.
many affairs must be handled. The
building and loan tangle continued
to occupy attention but nothing defl.
nite resulted. The agricultural de
partment was greatly disturbed by
the outbreak of anthrax in Buncombe
county But it is hoped the disease was
taken in hand in time. During the
week the highway commission let a
large number of contracts and the
state auditor stirred up some excite
ment by his oppdsltlon to the budget
bureau's orders.
The return of the Governor will
start a host of things to moving. The
executive has on his desk detailed
reports op many matters which hap
pened during his absence and there
are many gratters pending which He
will have to settle. In addition there
are numerous board meetings at which
he will be present and official mat
ters will start moving ln_ all depart,
ments of the State government A few
years ago the Governor could have
left the State and all departments,
boards, etc., would have functioned
norqplly except in a few Isolated
cases. Under the McLean adminlstra.
tlon so much legislation has been
passed making the Governor the real
as weft us tb* titular, heed of -tba
state that the institutions and boards
are tightly bound and must In JBssii
cases await his commands.
Tbe situation regarding tbe recelv
ersfaip of the. Mutual Building and
Loan Association of this city assumed
a brighter outlook during the week.
Whn? Varfoiia interested parties con
tinned to "pass the buck" for the fail
ure, a development appeared to be in
prospect which would assure the
shareholders 100 cents on the dollar.
The brightest feature of the failure
ia that there was no dishonesty; Just
investments contrary to law. Recov

Tbe outbreak of anthrax among a
herd of cattle in Buncombe county
Mriwiib wyfflnl fl1* agricultural de- I
partment but it appears thai the 1
prompt measures taken will prevent i
Its spread. In the Brat place the en
tire herd of cattle wera destroyed by <
orders of the council of state, the
state paying the damages. Then, stock
which had been exposed and buildings
wherein the herd was quartered were
burned and the premises thoroughly
fumigated. That was a week ago and
there has been no new cases. The sad
part about tbe matter is that the
disease was commnnicated to H. P.
Flowe, assistant-slate- veterinarian i
and he died.
into an argument with Mr. Burke 1
head of the Budget Bureau during i
the week and the state employees ?
listened In eaaerly. Next to the sal, c
ary and wage commission the Budget e
Bureau is the most dreaded of the d
state commissions by employees and c
department heads. Mr. Durham this a
time objected to the Budget 'Bureau
supervising the accounts ot those who 1
travel on state's business anddeclln- t
ed to take orders from the bureau (
in the paying ot checks for such trav- c
el. He maintained that fhis authority c
belonged to his offle alone and he t
would exercise it. Mr. Burk has t
little to say on the subject. It will
be recalled that both the Budget Bu
reau and the wage commission are 1
creatures of Governor McLean. Mr.
Durham has little love for the Gov.
ernor. The last fight that the audi,
tor started was a victory for him and
the administration probaMy still feels
the sting.
John Barly is still at large some
where in Polk county and the State
will play hands off policy in his case. 1
The noted leper escaped some weeks 1
ago from Carville, Louisiana leprosi
arium and no steps have tjeen taken
Jd return him there. The federal gov
ernment says it will handle the mat.
ter but it has been lamentably slow
In taking action.
Raleigh will get a handsome boa
station in the next three months. It
will be. built across Nash Square
from the dilapidated railroad station
and will be modern in every respect.
Some people are hoping that the rail,
road will be shamed into building a
decent passenger station. Tobaqco
prices are pretty high in the mark
ets along the South Carolina border
and the growers are hopeful that this
condition will continue throughout the
season.
There is considerable Interest here
in' the state highway commission's
cases with citixens. The citixens ot
Raleigh apparently have lost their
argument so far as the Wake Forest
-Durham road is concerned but there
will be an appeal to the supreme court
This is hailed as a great victory for
the commission. In the other hand
Judge Webb baa granted an order
which will bring the famed Newton
i back into court. This is not SO
good for the commission. In the mean
time the commission let several roml
projects during the week, which will
cost about U of x million dollars.
They are scattered throughout the
State.
