State Treasurer Worth to day ad vertised or bids for $50,000 of ten year four per cent, bonds to be issued for th-i purchase of the Caledonia State rm3. It will take $64,165 to buy the farms. The bonds cannot be sold for less than 104. The bonds will be of $500 and $1,000 denomina tionsforty bonds of each. Treasurer Worth will repay to the Mors-auton insane asvlutn the money that was in the Piedmont bank when it failed a year ago. The amount was $9,363.94. This money was deposited in this bank to the credit of the asylum, or rather it was deposited there by W. H. Worth, Stale Treasurer, to the credit of W. H. Worth, treasurer ex-officio of the Mor ganton' insane asylum. Up to this time the Treasurer has been contend ing that the money had passed out of his hands as Treasurer and had gone into the custody of the asylum and that that institution and not the State must sustain the loss. The .-'Attorney GeneraVjhowever, decides otherwise, and Mr. Worth will make good the loss to thejksylum. On this $0,363.94 the Treasurer held about $25,000 worth of collateral. On it he has already collected about $2,500, and he says he will be able to get the, balances In that case1 the State will lose nothing by the bank's failure. Raleigh's Water Works. The Board of Aldermen will resist payment of full amount of the city water rents to the Water Company here for the months of January, Feb ruary and March. During this quar ter the water was contaminated with sulphuric acid, which penetrated the ninps rvn seiner ripnr C!nmlniirh Mills . The city s contract calls lor "pure and wholesome water." This the Al dermen contend was not furnished and they decline to settle the bill un- - til a proper reduction is made. As the Water Company declines to make any reduction the matter may go to the court. The water company sets up in its defence that the contamination was one that they could not foresee or pre vent by any reasonable diligence or care. - It further says that if it makes a reduction for the city it will have to uo the same for each individual cus tomer. Valuation of Railroads. The railroads are preparing for a valuation of their property recently tixed by the Corporation Commission The Southern will lead in the fight, claiming that the valuation of its property is fixed more nearly at what it really is than is the tax valuation of . 1 i i r xi.- uy oiner. ciass 01 property in ine - State.

The Inter state Commerce Commission to-day be gan the hearing of the discriminating freight rate case in which the Charles ton, S. C, Bureau of Freight and Transporation appears as complainant against the ; various railway lines connecting. Charleston, Norfolk and Wilmington with points west and south. There are about forty indivi dual roads named as defendants, the Southern, the Atlantic Coast Line Association, the Seaboard Air Line and the Baltimore and' Ohio. The charge is the long-standing com plaint of Charleston that discrimina ting rates are made by the railways in favor of Norfolk and against Charles ton, both on products from the West and foreign and coastwise shipments and for railway-distribution from Nor folk to other Southern points. The hearing began to day before Commissioners Clements, Proutty and Calhoun. There appeared - for the complainants J. P. K. Bryan, coun sel, and John A. omith, manager, of the Charleston Freight Bureau: Coun sel for the defendant carriers was Ed ward Baxter. Railroad Officials Present. . Among those present at the hearing were William Campbell, general freight agent of the Chicago and East ern Illinois railway; J. M. Culp, traffic manager of the Southern Rail way, and H. W. Glover, traffic man ager of the Seaboard. The first witness was S. F. Parrott, chairman of the Southeastern Freight Association. His examination de veloped the fact that this association was the successor of the Southern States Freight Association and this in turn of the old Southern Railway and Steamship Association. Mr. Parrott said that a good many arrangements of the latter association were still in force as to the rates from the West to Southeastern seaboard cities. He was not fully conversant with the way these rates had been made. Changes in rates were usually discussed at the meetings of the asso ciation, although it did not undertake to make and enforce them. How Rates Are Made. W. H. Fitzgerald, commissioner of the Virginia Railway Association, was called but he added very little to the knowledge of how rates to the South Atlantic ports were made. His asso ciation, he said, consisted of the At; lan tic Coast Line and the Southern Railway, the Seaboard Air Line hav ing been a member but three years ago. His office, however, had nothing to do with Western through rates, merely publishing and compiling the rates given by the individual roads. Coun sel for the freight bureau endeavored to find on what principle the rates into Charleston were made, but Mr. Fitz gerald, after an - hour's questioning, could only say that they were compiled by John A. Ryan, one of the rate clerks in his office. Witness said he gave no instructions as to how the compilation should be made and did not review the work after it was done. j Special Star Correspondence. j Raleigh, N. C, July 13.

It is sold and guaranteed by ROBERT R. BELLAMY, war 24 ly Wholesale and Retail Druggist A Clerk's Compilation. i If the work was not satisfactory to the individual roads, they could call atten tion to it Otherwise the clerk's com pilations stood. Mr. Fitzgerald at first said that it would be impossible for the Southern railways to reduce the wes tern through rates to south Atlantic ports without reducing the local rates to interior points, as it would interfere with the long and short haul provision established by the Interstate Commerce Commssion. Ha afterward admitted, however, that the. fact of water competition by the great lakes and Atlantic coast steam' ship lines applied to Charleston, Wil mington and Savannah as much as it did to Norfolk. Mr. Bryan said he begged to call the attention of the commission to the fact that none of the Tailway people would give any explanation of the theory under which rates were made to favor JN or folk and discriminate against other Southern portsf al though the freight schedules showed this state of affairs to exist. - Mr. Fitzgerald said that while he did not know just how the rates were arranged, he felt sure they were ar ranged on a fair and equitable basis with no view to injuring Charleston, Southern Railways to Blame. The last witness of the day was C. . Fulton, secretary of the Ohio River Central Traffic Association. He fur nished the surprise of the hearing by shifting the whole responsibility for hie-h discriminating rates against the, South Atlantic ports to the shoulders of the Southern railway lines, lie said that the roads north and west of the Ohio had for ten or twelve years maintained a standing otter to pro-rate the through freight charges to the South Atlantic ports with the rail ways south of the Ohio on a strict mtTeatre basis. Mr. Baxter, counsel for the aeiena ant carriers, asked if it were not a fact that the Northern roads wanted to maintain their own mileage rates and make all the reduction on the lines south of the Ohio. J Mr. Fulton said that this was not the case, and read a letter of his own. written in 1897. making the offer to pro-rate on a mileage basis. This offer, he said, had been lg nored. The letter was placed m evi dence. He said in reply to an in nnirv from Commissioner Clements that the distance from Cincinnati to New York was very nearly the same as from Cincinnati to Charleston, and that the roads of the association had been quite willing for a long time to turn a part of the Atlantic seaooara traffic through the Uhio river gate ways, but that thev had received no encouragement to do so from the roads south of the river. The hearing will probably continue through to-morrow. The arguments in the Charleston case and in the Wil mington case which was heard about a month ago probably will be made together. . trot Tr Fifty Tear.

By Telegraph to toe Morning Star. -Washington, July 12. Q. T. New bury, general freight agent of the Old Dominion Steamship Company, was the first witness before the Interstate Commerce Commission to day in the hearing of the Charleston freight rate case. He was questioned at length as to the rates charged by his line on freight business through Norfolk, where the steamship line connected with the railroads. It developed that the steamship line had two rates for various classes of freight, insured and uninsured, to cover the marine risk afloat. Mr. Bryan tried to find out what the freight was minus the insu rance, and why it was that some inte rior points in the South were subject to the insured rate only while others were known as uninsured points. Mr. New bury was very undetermined on this point,- and Commissioner Prouty finally broke in with the inquiry: "Is it not a fact, sir, that you have insured rates to non competitive points in order to add the insurance charges to the shipper and make the rate higher than to competitive points without its ap pearing so ?" - Freight Schedules Called For. Witness protested that this was not the case and it was finally agreed to have either the steamship company or its rail connections furnish the com mission copies of their freight sched ules, from which the real freight rates to competitive and non-competitive points could be figured out. Mr. Newbury said in conclusion that his line carried freight not only from the South to North Atlantic points, but had a considerable amount of business, principally packing house products, from west of the Mississippi through Norfolk' to the Maine coast. This route was five hundred miles longer than the direct rail routes, but the rail and water route was able to compete for the business at a profit Charleston's. Allegations. The next witness in the case was John A. Smith, president of the bureau of freight and transportation. of Charleston. - Mr. Smith explained that from 1877 to 1895, prior to taking his present office, he had been con nected with railroad and steamship traffic in various capacities. ' The Charleston bureau, he said, was a municipal creation of Charleston, brought about by the inability of the merchants and shippers or the com munity to get what they considered fair treatment from the railroads. especially in connection with freight rates to and from the west, witness filed with the commission a copy of a memorial from his bureau to the Southern Freight Association in which the discrimination against Charleston was pointed out and redress asked. Mr. Smith said the railways had never taken the trouble even to deny, the truth of Charleston's allegations. Mr. Smith gave a number of in stances in which the through rales on freight from Chicago to, Charleston were from five to twenty-one cents higher than the rates from Chi Norfolk with the Norfolk and Charles - Witness said fur Charlesten merchants were not even allowed to take advan tage of this combination rate, the rail road either forbidding through ship ments to Charleston at the combina tion rate, or eating up all the profit by vexatious delays and rebifling charges at Norfolk and Virginia cities. The result was. he said, that the Nor folk merchants had not only absorbed all the distributive trade m certain western commodities around Charles ton but could undersell the local mer chants in Charleston itself. ; ing the city as a rapidly growing man r ufactaring centre, ana promising port ; of entry and export. Judge Baxter '"went over the claims advanced in the j Charleston pamphlet, showing in i creases of many hundred thousands of dollars in various branches of trade j and manufacture and asked Mr. Smith j how, in the face of this showing, I Charleston claims to be oppressed and j cut out by the railways from growth ana development. Mr. Smith declared his ignorance of a number of the specific claims ad vanced in the publication, and ended by saying that he considered the circu lar as a rule inaccurate and misleading as to the real situation. This closed the case with the excep tion of some depositions, which the complainants asked leave to file in the absence of certain witnesses, who could not be reached by subpoena.

The Washington Post says that Sen ator Jones, of Arkansas will not re sign his position as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. This can be stated authoritatively, once for all. No System in Compiling Rates. As to the compilation of rates, Mr. Smith said there was no system or method in determining them as far as he could discover. Rates on some articles to Wilmington were higher than to Charleston; in other cases Wilmington had the advantage. In fifteen important commodities rates to Charleston were higher than to Wil mington on less than car load lots, but the car load rates to Charleston were lower than to Wilmington. When Mr. Smith urged the injustice that the rates for towns in the imme diate vicinity of Charleston should be based on the rates to the Virginia cities, Commissioner Prouty asked if the interior towns in question would not feel it an equal injustice to have the Western corn they were to con sume hauled at a low through rate to Charleston and then back to be fed to the people at the interior town. Mr, Smith replied that he did not wish to place the commission in an equivocal position in the eyes of the interior Carolina towns. He did hold, how ever, that the water competition at Norfolk, which had annulled the long and short haul section there, could apply equally well to Charleston, hich had the same natural advan tages, j Mr. Prouty suggested that a good scheme for Charleston would be to en courage water lines that would force the railroads by competition to grant a reasonable inland rate. - Rail and Water Lines. Mr. Smith placed in evidence before the commission a number of statements covering the question of rail and water lines in and out of Charleston. He also produced statements showing the small differentials from Chicago to the various North Atlantic ports, in cluding Norfolk and above. The same conditions he said, held true in differentials from Chicago to the Pacific coast, including the whole coast line from Astoria to San Dego. Mr. Bryan stated to the commission that lie had endeavored to subpoena R. M. Arnold, general freight agent, of the Monon route, but had not been able to reach him. He asked, there fore, to place in evidence a letter from Mr. Arnold to the Charleston Bureau conveying the same assurances con tained in the letter presented Tuesday from Mr. Campbell, of the Chicago and East Illinois railway. Mr. Arnold, referring particularly to the rice trade, said that his road would be very glad to pro-rate with the lines south of Ohio as they were doing with the lines to Mobile and New Orleans. But he added that this spirit was not shared by the Southern roads and said "so long as the bar3 are put up by the Southern roads at the Ohio river, it will be impossible to come to any reciprocal agreement."

Washington, July 12. Represen tatives R. B. Hawley, of Texas, whois now in Washington, to day. made public the following statement with re ference to the flood situation in that State:' 'The disaster which has overtaken the communities in Southern Texas is unparalleled in our country. At some points the precipitation was three and a half feet in sixty hours, resulting in a flood of enormous proportions, cover ing an area of many square miles to a depth of from five to twenty feet, and causing loss of from twenty-five to forty million dollars. JNo less than twenty populous towns have been inundated, as well as thousands of well established and well ordered farms, which to day are in a complete state oi desolation. Practically every work animal, every milch cow, together with all stock cattle and every vestige of vegetation, have been swept away, leaving the country completely devastated. With; in the influence of this awful disaster resided over done hundred thousand people, almost half of whom are in a state of helplessness to-day, except as thev may be provided for by those who are generous and able to assist them. The whole State of Texas is alive to the situation and is doing its ut most to relieve the suffering. It is, however, impossible for the State alone, within the time necessary to succor these people, to come to their relief. "When the great Johnstown flood occurred. Pennsylvania could have easily taken care of their own if given time; but, as time was as it is now, the essential factor, they were obliged to appeal to a generous public in every part of the Union, and from every quarter the relief was immediate on a scale commensurate with the disaster. To this public the flood district of Texas appeals to-day to supply the ne cessities of life until the horrors of the flood shall have passed and the people shall be in a position to again address themselves to the task of re-establishing their homes. 'For this purpose it is urged through the press to the different commercial authorities of every city of the Union, that this appeal be answered. ' Jj'or the distribution of this reiier a system is being organized throughout the flooded district immediately under direction of the Governor of Texas, to whom all contributions should be ad dressed, at Austin, Texas, and under whose care every dollar will be judici ously and effectively expended."

The cotton market started out with a steady tone at a decline of one to two points, gave way one to two ' points further and showed some irregularity with a general weak undertone, cables being unsatisfactory and crop accounts, offi cial and otherwise, outside of Texas having a bearish average. Later, how ever, the market rallied a little on a special dispatch .from Nava sota, Texas, published by a New York news agency to the effect that the cotton crop was dead from Waco to the Gulf, a distance of 400 miles, that there was not an acre that had not been overflowed and that while farmers talked of re-planting, most of them thoucht it was too late. Creek bot toms were also reported to have been flooded and the loss in the State was placed at not less than 750,000 bales, after taking in consideration the bene fits by rains in the uplands. Trading, however remained very conservative and the volume of business was small . with the entire scope of fluctuations only a matter of four points for the day. The market was finally quiet and steady,' one point higher to one point lower. New York, July 12. Cotton steady ; middling uplands 8 3-16c.
