THIS NEW YORK’S BELIEF The Result of Several Conference That Were Held in That City Yesterday. BUT TWO LINES IN THE SOUTHEAST Such Would ba the Result of This Deal. Be lieved in Atlanta That the Southern Will Absorb the Plant and A. C. L. Systems. (By the Associated Press.) New York, April 12.—As a result of several conferences held today there is a very general conviction that control of the Louisville and Nashville Road has passed or will pass to the Southern Railway. Representatives of the Louisville and Nashville and Southern roads and a member of the aGtes faction were in con sultation early in the day and later John W. Gates was closeted for almost an hour with George W. Perkins at the office of J. P. Morgan and Company- Neither Mr. Perkins nor Mr. Gates would say what passed between them, but it was admitted that the Louisville situation was discussed in its several phases. The most authoritative report dealing with the recent course of the Louisville and Nashville is substantially as fol lows: “Ssometime ago Southern Railway In terests, alarmed at the Increasing strength and prosperity of Louisville and Nashville made an offer for a ma jority interest. The offer was declined by foreign holders of Louisville and Nashville, who held the balance of pow er. “Recently when Louisville and Nash ville increased its capital stock by $5,- 000.000 Mr. Gates and his associates saw an opportunity to ‘squeeze’ the insiders by huving Louisville in the market and creating a scare in the stock. To what «xtent the aGtes faction succeeded is still a matter of conjecture, but is not doubted that they were in a posiion to swing a large block of stock either way. “Conditions seemed ripe for an at tempt to gain control of Louisville and Nashville, and the Southern Railway in terests. as represented by Morgan and. Company, authorized the Moore Broth ers to acquire as much of the stock as possible in the open market, with the understanding that this stock would be taken over by the Southern road. “Banking interests in which the Moores are especially prominent, have been heavy buyers of Louisville and Nash ville, and one bank in particular, is said to have called a number of loans this week so as to accumulate the money for its purchase of Louisville stock. Wall Street believes that some sort of a ‘com munity of interest’ deal between Rock Island and the Southern Railway will rfofllow the change in Louisville and NashvUle ownership.” The Evening Post discussing the situa tion in Louisville and Nashville, says: “All indications seem to point to the fact that the control o fthe Louisville and Nashville .Railway is now so held that it can he turned over to the Rock Island Railway. The matter bad not been determined at the close of business today and facts are as lackfng as they have been since the excitement in Louis ville and Nashville shares began some days ago. Opinion in Wall Street is in a nebulous condition as to who now con trols the company, but there is convic tion that control has passed from the Belmont interests, and that John W. Gates has been a factor in its passing. “There appears to he good foundation for the opinion that Mr. Oates may now be in a position, by throwing his 6tock one way or the other, to decide what in * fcercst shall Hereafter cotatrstf Louis ville and Nashville. Not. much doubt is felt that the Moore Interests will se cure his proxies, or the stork he holds.” According to the Evehing Post the Choctaw road was purcased for the Moore interests by Speyer & Company as part of the plan for Rock Island ex tension. THE EFFECT OF THE DEAL. * Wonld Leave Only the Southern and Beaboatd Systems in the Bouth (By the Associated Press.) Atlanta, Ga., April 12.—The passing of the Louisville and Nashville system into the hands of the Southern Railway, as reported in New York, would leave but fwo lines of railroad in the Southeastern States—the Southern and the Seaboard Air Line. Although it has not been offi cially announced, it is believed here that the Atlantic Coast Line and the Plant System will soon come under the con trol of the Southern Railway, and that the culmination of the deal will be a | “community of interests.’’ The roads controlled by the Louisville and Nash ville are the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, the Western and Atlantic, the Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern, the Georgia Railroad and several smaller lines in Alabama. If the merger as out lined is accomplished, the total mileage of the lines believed to have been ac quired by the Southern will aggregate 31,349 miles. An interesting feature of the situation is the part the State of Georgia may play in the rumored combination. The State owns the Western and Atlantic, which runs from Atlanta to Chattanooga, and is leased by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis. The Southern is already operating a line between these cities, and the Central of Georgia, which is believed to be under che control of the Southern, has a road from Chattanooga to Griffin, Georgia. The effect of the purchase of the Louisville and Nashville by the South ern is said by some to mean that at the expiration of the present lease on the State road the State road would be com pletely bottled up- rendering it merely a local line between Atlanta and Chat tanooga- When asked his opinion on the mat ter Governor Candler said: “I do not think that there is any dan ger of the roads bottling up the State road. While railroad combinations very powerful they cannot cope with the State of Georgia, for if .such attempts were made, the result would be such drastic legislation in Georgia that the railroads would have to pay out more money than they could make on the transaction. “The railroads may attempt to depre cate the value of the State road in or der to get the State to sell it at a low price, but such an effort would also fail The people of Georgia will protect their interests in the matter and nobody need have any fear on that score.” The Atlanta and West Point and the Western Railroad of Alabama constitut ing a line from Atlanta to Selma, Ala., will also come in under the supposed merger, as both are controlled indirectly by the Southern and Louisville and Nash ville. Louisville, Ky.. April 12.—Nothing definite could be learned here today of the deal, whereby the Southern is re ported to have obtained control of the Louisville and Nashville road. The offi cials of the latter line refused to say anything on the subject. First Vice- President A\ alker Hines of the Louis ville and Nashville, when shown the statement sent out by “The Associated Press” from New York, said he had no knowledge of the matter. ii duelThthe bom It Follows Elopement to Wed.

C., April 12.—Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage is dead. He passed away at an early hour tonight. At seven o’clock he began sinking rapidly. He was unconscious and his physicians said then that he had but a short while to live. Dr. Talmage was one of the most re markable men this generation has pro duced. He was the most popular preacli e rin the metropolis for a quarter of a century. He was an orthodox Presbyte rian minister and always preached a gospel of cheer and hope. He was never dry or dull. He interested his audiences, no matter the time or the theme. With out being the most profound thinker of his day, he was easily the most popular preacher in the American pulpit, and had preached to more people than any preach er of this or any age.

The Australis Manufacturing Company, in Cumberland county, composed of Phila delphia capitalists, has engaged in the manufacture of wooden paving blocks. These pine blocks are made as hard as adamant, almost, by a patented process, and are said to he superior for the pur pose to any other wood. Most of the principal streets of London are paved with wooden blocks and they make the finest pavement in the world, though it is very expensive. This company pro poses to make the blocks at a cost that will greatly cheapen this mode of paving. Makes His Money Raising Cotton. Mr. L. L.

CHARLES A. RHODES. Comfort, N. C., April 4, 1902. SIXTEEN PAGES— ‘SECTION ONE-Pages 1 to 8 THE LEAVEN WORKS More Than $1,200 in Small Subscripitions for An other School. (Special to News and Observer.) Greensboro, N. C., April 12. —The rural graded school at Guilford College closed today with appropriate and enjoyable ex ercises by the pupils. President Charles IJ. Mclver made the address this afternoon after which a re markable meeting was held. More than $1,200 was raised to build an additional school house. One-third of this amount was contributed by the Guilford Coun ty Board for School Improvement, ap pointed at the Greensboro Educational Conference last week. The Guilford College community was the first rural community in North Car olina that voted a loral tax and estab lished a rural graded school. About a year ago the election was carried by a very small majority. This afternoon men who had voted against levying the tax were liberal contributors. This isj not a wealthy community. The largest subscription was fifty dollars, and many Subscriptions were one, two and five dollars. A committee was appointed to secure an increase of the subscription to $1,500 or $2,000, and there is hardly a doubt that it will succeed. TWO HUNDRED VOTES MAY BE LOST IN THE TOWNSHIP. Anti Saloon League to be Formed Horse Dies of Hydrophobia. Need of the Union Depot (Staff Correspondence ) Goldsboro, N. C\, April 12.—The April term of court convenes here Monday with Judge Allen presiding. The docket is fifty-two criminal cases with sixteen open for trial on the civil docket. For once there is not a capital case on the docket. I ho unusual sight of a horse dying of hydrophobia was witnessed in the city yesterday. The horse was the property of a Mr. Spink, who resides in the coun try. Last fall the horse was bitten by A ftiad dog. One day recently while at tached to the plow he was noticed to turn his head at intervals and snap at any and everything. Mr. Spink orove the horse to the city to consult with a veterinary surgeon. Soon after reaching here the suffering beast was taken with spasms and amid great pain passed away. It is a lamentable fact, but true, that there are in Goldsboro township 200 white men who have not yet pa-id their poll tax for the year 1902. April is be ing rapidly ushered Into May and with the coming of May there comes also the fact that all w’ho have failed to pay their poll tax will not be permitted to vote at the approaching erection, and a mighty effort is being made on the part of our Republican brethren to the end that the poll tax of the colored man be paid. It behooves the Democratic host, to be up and doing to the end that every Democrat drop in at the tax collector’s office within the next few days and pay his poll tax. so he may exercise his right ot suffrage in behalf of a continuation of good government in the old North State. An educational rally is to be held in the city in the near future. Early next week there will be a meeting of citi zens to arrange a date in June for this occasion. <’ol. W. F. Dortch, in talking with me this morning, answering a feeler, .said: “No, I will not be a candidate for the Congressional nomination for the Third district.” The main reason for this is that our law' practice, which is large anu growing, is more profitable than a coat in (’engross. ’ This narrows the fight down to three aspirants—Chas. R. I homes, the present incumbent; Col. •las. E. Robinson, editor of 1 the Argus, and Mr. Uhas. L. Abernathy, the bright young man from Carteret. At the regular meeting of Muffin Lodge K. of P’s-, hold last evening, Mr. " • J* Gibson was chosen a representa tive to the annual banquet of the o *der to be held in Wilson at an early date. Our genial friend and wise philoso pher. Thos. B. Parker, of Hillsboro, N. C., is on a visit to his old home, friends and loved ones. An anti-saloon league is to he formed here Sunday evening. To this end a nms.s meeting is to be held in St. Paul s church. I here is a growing sentiment among this people on the question of depot lo cation to lease the location to the rail road people and he content with the de pot wherever located. The need for a Union Depot is so great that no selfish eensideration should enter in as a stumbling block to hinder its speedy erection. Assistant Engineer Gordon, of the Southern Railway Survey coins, was in the city today to arrange for a siding to enter Dewey Bros’, machine shops. The building of this track will call for the best skill of the engineer, owing to the 'cry sharp curve necessary. NEW RAILROAD. Preliminary surveys have been made of a railroad to be run from Ralmgh to deep water at Washington via Wilson- J be parties who are interested in the road are confident that it will *>o built, t.ius giving Wilson a competing line of railroad. .At Atlanta, Ga., April 12-—Georgia School of Technology 12; Clemaon Col lege, South Carolina, 4. A SINGLE HAUL. Brings in 5,000 Shad. Weighing 4 1-2 Founds, 400.000 Herring Weighing Three to One Found. The North Carolina Fisheries have been developed from the condition of a few large proprietors taking immense and ( unwieldy catches into a widely divided industry which subdivides the catch, re duces the large lump Incomes and dis tributes the earnings among a vastly in creased number of operatives. Dir. W. H. Hampton, of Plymouth, N. C., is an example of the old regime, being still actively engaged in the opera tion of four seines, the products from which have made him a man of noted wealth. Catches of shad recently made have reached 5,000, average weight 4>4 pounds each, at a single haul, and her ring three to four hundred thousand, average weight 3 to one pound each. S. G. WORTH. Edenton, N. C., April 4. $20,000 WORTH OF CLAMS. Fishermen Often Catch a S2OO Catch in a Few •Hours. The water industry in this county is wonderful. Joe Lewis, on Cape Banks, has at least one to two thousand dollars on hand all the time catching mullets, trout, blue fish and mackerel. He has caught in one haul over SIOO worth of fish. Alex. Lewis is another fisherman who has quite a little sum on hand all the time. Nine-tenths of our fishermen own their own domicile, boats and nets. There has been and quite frequently four men in one boat would catch one to two hundred dollars w'orth of trout in one haul of three hours. Clams are a big in dustry in this county; almost 20 to 30 thousaud dollars xvorth sold a year. D. S. SAUNDERS. Beaufort, N. C., April 3. Cotton Pays Well. Some farmers have succeeded w'ell in I making cotton in our section as a money crop during the past twenty years. R. L. Nichols, John F. Harror, Crosland & Everett, and some others. The same dili gence, Judgment and enterprise given to the culture of cotton that is given to other business pursuits or to professions limit. Where nature has prepared a feast for the soul in the ever changing and lovely mountain views, in hill and dale, peaks and valleys, and in limpid streams resplendent with the matchless rhododendron, laurel and azalea, one should come and enjoy the scenery in person and not trust to the imagination that for once falls short of the reality. W. H. Weir, of W. Weir & Sons, bank ers, Montreal, Canda, said: “I came to Asheville two years ago from Montreal, Canada, for the benefit of the health of my family, and have resided here during the summer and winter, and have no hesitation in saying that as an all-year round climate Asheville has few equals and none superior, either in climate or scenery and beautiful drives, all of which are so necessary to the invalid or pleasure seeker. As a place to make a home where climate and comfort of liv ing are a consideration Asheville has fcw r equals.” Four Acres of Land to a Boy. (Prof. W. F. Massey). \ I know a man in North Carolina who has raised a family of nine, has educated his children and lived comfortably on 36 acres of land. Is there any place North that can compete with that? This gen tleman told me that he had proved that it only lakes 4 acres of North Carolina soil to raise and educate a boy, and his land was far from being the best in the State naturally. Clears SI,OOO Per Acre. Mir. A. Satlcr, farming near here, has five acres under cloth, heated bv steam pipes through the beds, the pipes used when necessary for watering crop. He is now shippin ga‘fine crop of let tuce which will iu a few' days be off to be followed by a crop of cucumbers, ready for market fully two weeks before the out-door crop. 1 am told that it is not unusual to realize SI,OOO to $1,200 per acre from this method ot farming. WM. DUNN. Makes Money Every Year. Crop failures are unknown here. Mr. Jas. Ed. ('larke, Jr., Washington, N. C., who is one of the State’s best farmers, makes money every year growing cotton. Ho uses about 500 pounds of fertilizers per acre—not because that quantity is necessary, but because it pays him to do so. He prefers a mixture of cotton meal, acid phosphate, kainit and a complete fertilizer. Even with a poor season like last year— too much rain—his profit was considerable, and he gathered nearly one bale per acre. He cultivates, all told, about 500 acres, and cotton is not the only crop that pays him. This section offers every inducement to capitalists and progressive farmers. WM. <BRAGAW & CO. Washington. N.

HE THUS DU3S CHINESE Be Pays a Brilliant Tribute to Wade Hampton. A CHRISTIAN G N THEM AN OF HIGH TYPE Lodjre Speaking on the Exclusion Bill Holds That the Philippines Should Not b) Opened to Unrestricted Ad mission of Chinese. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, April 12.—A feature of the Chinese Exclusion debate in the Sen ate today was the sharp criticism of Minister Wu, of China, because of his protest made to the Secretary of State against the enactment, of the pendiug bill. Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, and Mr. Teller, of Colorado, sharply attacked him, de claring that he deserved to have been given his passports and that no self respecting nation would have permitted such interference with its legislative af fairs. Mr. Foraker, of Ohio, and Mr. lloar, of Massachusetts, insisted that the Chinese minister had done no more than his duty and that he would slave been derelict of his duty had he done less. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, delivered a speech in support of the pending bill, al though he antagonized that provision which prevented American ships from employing Chinese seamen. He vigorous ly urged the enactment of the measure with the modifications he suggested, maintaining that Congress should place permanent and not merely tentative leg islation on the statute book. During consideration of the Chinese Exclusion Bill Mr. Vest (Mo.), briefly ad dressed ihe Senate in opposition to some features of the pending measure. He sympathized entirely wfith what had been said in opposition to the admission of Chinese. “I think,” said he, "that any immigration is undesirable when it brings into this country people who w'ant all the privileges of this country without participating in any of the responsibil ities.” “The Chinaman,” he continued, “is a social, political and industrial parasite, and ought not to be admitted to this country.” He opposed the provisions excluding Chinamen from participating in expoei j tions in this country and excluding Chi nese from the Philippine Islands. Mr. \ est insisted that the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands were citizens of the United States. Passing from the Chinese question, Mr. Vest regretted ex ceedingly that a sectional discussion had been injected into the debate yesterday. He had hoped such discussion never again would be heard in the Senate. He paid a tribute to Lincoln, Garfield and McKin ley and said the people of the South were sincere mounters at the bier of all. The people of the North, h e said, should re member that the South had produced great and patriotic leaders and among them he mentioned General Washington and Robert E. Lee. He said he never should cease to feel kindly toward I’resi dnt Roosevelt, who, in the broadest spirit of statesmanship, had eulogized Robert E. Lee. Mr. Vest adverted with deep feeling to the death of Hon. Wade Hampton. In the course of a brilliant tribute to Wade Hampton, Mr. Vest said ho was the highest type of a. Christian gentle man, whose memory would live far cen turies. Mr. Lodge hoped some sections of the hill w'ould he omitted and some others modified. If we are prepared, said he, to admit Chinese from the Philippine Is lands, it is for the Senate to say so, but in his opinion, Chinese from the Philip pines should be excluded. Congress had excluded Chinamen from Hawaii, and he regarded it as idle that Congress had not the authority to prevent the Chinese from coining to this country from the Philippines. “My belief is,” said he, “that it is best to shut the Chinese out of the United Slates from the Philippines." He urged, too, that the Philippine Islands should rot be opened to unrestricted admission of Chinese. They should not he permit ted to enter the islands—certainly not until the Filipinos desired them to en- I ter. He maintained that the operation I of the pending bill would not disturb our trade relations with China. Weekly Bank Statement, (By the Associated Press.)
