Coast Line Officials Will Be Examined Later -New Hanover Citizens Were , - Introduced Also Some, from ... Brunswick and Colambas The evidence in the railway tax as sessment cases before Standing Mas ter Shepherd in the U. 8. court room here was again devoid of interest yes terday and the ginger that was ex pected to have been injected into the sessiops bnr reason of the . intro duction of Atlantic Coast line official as witnesses,' was lacking. Ifwas thought that Secretary and Treasurer James F. Post, General Auditor W. A. Biach" and others would be intro duced in the afternoon but it . was found by the attorneys of the Corporation Commission that the examination of other witnesses could not be completed in time. It is now hardly probable that the examination of the railroad officials will be reached today. It was hoped by the State's counsel to finish the hearing here this even ing, but it looks now as if this will not be done, and the' hearing at War saw tomorrow and Saturday may have to be postponed. Col. Hinsdale, when asked about the matter last night, said he was unprepared as yet to make any announcement regard ing the matter. To-day's session- will likely be taken up with the examina tion of New Hanover county assessors and others acquainted with real estate conditions here. The examination was resumed at 9.30 o'clock yesterday morning and Was conducted by Messrs. Hinsdale, Connor and Gore for the State and Messr. Bountree, Shaw and Busbee for the railroads. The first witnesss was Mr B. B. Davis, port warden of South port. He testified to a true and over valuation of a large number of lots in his to wn. Messrs. Minus Meares, A. A. Williams, T. E. Bardin, J.,M. Brown, S. W. Owen, M. W. Pridgen, Snowden Singletary and Charles Gore, assessors irom Colum bus county, were also introduced and testified to similar conditions in their county. ," In the afternoon New Hanover wit nesses were called, of which there are about fifteen or twenty, including the railroad officials, who have been sub poenal Only two of this number were. however, examined yesterday. They were Mr. J.,T. Kerr, of Cape .Fear township, and Mr. D. . McEachern, chairman of the Board of County Com missioners. Mr. Kerr was an assessor in 1899 and was also at one time a member of the General Assembly of North Caro lina. He testified aa to no uniform rule of undervaluation ar'l the pur pose of himself and his co-assessors to value real estate at its actual cashj valuation. Upon cross examination he gave instances of the sale of real estate at a much higher price than the tax valuation, but gave reasons, in his opinion; for the seemingly inflated purchase figures. Mr. McEachern testified that he was a member of the board of equalization in 1899 and aa assessor in 1895; that as an assessor then, he tried to assess property at its true valucin money; that in his . opinion the assessors in 1899 greatly increased a number of the valuations in Wilmington ; - that the board of equalization - greatly re duced the assessment on a great many tracts of real estate in Wilmington to nearer what the membsra of the board deemed an actual cash valu ation. He detailed a number of valua ble lota in Wilmington, which he con sidered now over-assessed. He said the purpose of the board in assess ing bank stock waa to place it at actual cash value and not to make an arbitrary underassessment; that he had no knowledge of any design or purpose by the assessors or. board of equalization to under-acsess property. Mr. McEachern waangidly cross- examined by the railroad attorneys and admitted that a number of Wil-, mington citizens had valued their per sonal property at a very low figure when considered in the light of cost price, but not with 'reference to what tit could T abld for at cash sale. He further stated that he thought there- was more cash on hand and on deposit than had been listed - for taxation in the county Some of the other witnesses from New Hanover county for examination are Deputy Begiater of Deeds Jncv Mo Laurin, Messrs. Andrew. Smith, Geo. Harris, A. D. Brown W, F. Alexan der, 0. H. Alexander, D. J.- Fergua and Capt. Jno. Barry.": MF't- The hearing will be; resumed. this morning at the usual hour.

The indications now are that Wil mington will be well represented at Governor Aycock's inauguration, in Raleigh on January 15th; It has been definitely decided by the Wilmington Light Infantry to accept, the invita tion to attend and participate in the ceremonies of the occasion; the Naval Reserves are also individually con sidering the matter of being present; the talk among qttite a large, number of Confederate Veterans is that it would be very appropriate, and pleas-; ing for Cape Fear Camp to attend in a body; and the general impression pre vails that a much larger delegation -of civilians will attend the exercises this term than evete.beiai- -i-. .s.s A meeting ot the W. L, I. was held last night at the armory and while all the members were not present, it was decided to go. The meeting was held after the usual drill by Capt. Adrian and was very enthusiastic? The com pany will likely go, on a special train. The Naval Reserves, as a division, have not yet met for a consideration of the invitation to them to attend, but; will meet Tuesday night after regular drill. Lieutenant Skelding, command ing, is quoted as. having expressed himself favorably incliued toward an acceptance. The question with the veterans of attending will likely come up at a special meeting, if it is seen that a desire to go is expressed by a majority of the memberj of Cape Fear Camp.

Mr Chad-' wick, west to the rear of the building and effected an entrance into the oyster roasting place of Mr. Geo. B. Smith, which is in the basement There they found two colored boys about fourteen years of age lying dowiyjretending to be asleep. Their names are Albert Howe and William Spencer, and they are employed by Mr. Smith, who had given them permission to sleep there. It was found that one of the boys had climbed up into the store through a hole in the floor 7x12 inches, which is used as a kind of elevator for send ing oysters eta-, up stairs. The boys were taken to the City Hall and locked up. Their ca-e will come up before the Mayor this morn ing.

POSSIBLE RAILROAD DEAL Interesting Rumor, from Greensboro Re garding Purchase of Property. Special to News db Observer. Grkebsbobo, N. C, Jan. 1. There is apparently some truth in the rumor ed sale of the Mt Airy and Sanford division of the Southern Railway to the Norfolk and Western, wired to the News and Observer from this place last night, though it is impossible to learn the details. A gentleman who is well up in railroad matters said to-day that in his opinion, the sale if there is such a thing, is the result of an understand ing or pooling arrangement said to have ' recently been entered into in New York between the Southern, the Seaboard Air. Line, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Norfolk and Western, and probably other roads. In his-opinion, this particular division of the Southern is to be operated by the Norfolk and Western on account of the Ipeculiar construction of the road, convenience and economy com ing into consideration. The Chief Justiceship. Local politicians were amusing themselves yesterday with conjecture of Governor Russell's probable action in the appointment of a successor to the late Chief Justice Faircloth. The most interesting surmise was that Russell would resign as Governor and be appointed to fill the position, which lasts two years- longer, by the new Governor Reynolds. Other possibili ties mentioned in this connection are Chas. A. Cook, Robinson, Timberlake, Bynum, Linney, Furches and Judge A. : M.
