J The State Board of Education, com posed of, the constitutional officers of tha State government, met yesterday morning in the office of governor! Kit chin to receive a petition from a ma iurity of the land-owners in the vicin ity of Mattamuskeet lake. Hyde coun ty, for the drainage of the laket un der the Mattamuskeet drainage; act passed 'by the last Legislature. It was estimated that the reclamation work would cost $400,000. of which the State would have to pay $.100,000 and the land-owners $100,000. f The land, alter leing drained, would, it has been estimated, be worth from ten to fifty dollars an acre, and there are in round figures 50,000 acres, i The I'nard of Education has been offered $60,000 for the property by indtvldualu u lio would develop it, converting the lake bottoms into some of the most fertile farming lands in the country. As . two members of the Board. Lieutenant-Governor W. C. Newiaml and Secretary of State.- J. Bryan Grimes, were absent, no action Swas taken. t Representing the petitioners 'were S. 8. Mann, of Swan Quarter. ex-3,Late Senator and president of the Malta -mu:keet Railway Company; and Col. II. C. Carter, of Fairfield., a director of the Mattamukeet road. Kx-Repre-srntative J. C. R. Ehrlnghaus,; of Elizabeth City, and M. Mackley.l of Uelhaven, rejres-nting other interests, appeared before the Hoard, oppoiug the drainage proposition. The members ot the Board of Eil" ciu ion. have not determined upon w3i:it course they will pursue. The Matta muskeet property Is the most valuable they hold, its bottoms being of "su perior farming soil to the bottom of Angola "Bay. in Pender and Dublin counties,- according to toe reportsj.of experts It war said to be beyond a dopbt that, should the lake be drained. ;by either tb,e State or a private corpora tion, the Mattamuskeet Railway would be rushed to completion, thus being provided with better marketing facili ties than anv other agricultural sec tion In the State, owing to its proxi mity to Norfolk and to the markets, of Eastern North Carolina. i This company was chartered by the General Assembly - on the 6th of March. 1907. and was formally organ ized at Swaj) Quarter, on the 12th of May. 1907.' aqd commenced ' business with a stock subscription list amount ing to eleven thousand and four hun dred dollars. " Application was at once made to the Board of Directors of the State Prison for convicts, with which to grade the road, and the first work was begtin on the 14th of August. 1907. The wolrk of grading has been carried on con tinuously since thaf date until there has now been graded between Fair field on the north side of Mattamus keet Itke. around Ihe east and south rides of the lake, through the towns rf Engelhard.

Said shares are In denominations of $100 each. The present plan of the manage ment, of the company is to complete the construction of lift roadbed, into the town of Belhaven, and, if sufficient capital can be secured for that pur pose, the construction of Its roadbed over the mot direct, practicable route to Wafhlngton, N. C. Under favorable conditions the work of grading road bed can be completed to Belhaven by May 1. 1909. The original object sought in secur ing the charter for this company was to furnish Oct let for the magnificent agricultural resources of the county of Hyde, and the eastern part of Beaufort county; also to furnish quick and prompt transportation Vor thcrnultl tudlnous products of Pamlico Sound and Its tributaries as well as a great trucking section. It Is the hope of the management and stockholders to finance and equip the.road in its entirety in the next twenty-four months. An officer of the railroad said, with reference to' the 1 agricultural Import ance of Hyde county, in which Matta muskeet is situate, covering S0.000 acres of the best land In the county: "The Importance of -Hyde county as railroad territory has been overlook ed to a great extent because of faci that nearly three-fourths of the county line is a water line. The county Is u ixninxula, seven-eights of its territor being embraced by the waters of Alli gator river, Pamlico sound, Pungo river and its tributary creeks. Its water facilities put tht shipping points t Kulrfieid. Engelhard, Wysocking, Ju niper Bay, Swan Quarter, Rose Bay. (iermanton. Sladesville. Makelyville am?

Washington and Belhaven and have caused its products to be carried noieelcBuly In sail vesxels and distribut ed, almost Impartially, among the markets named and furnish the rea :on why the magnitude of its re sources has never ben exploited In the interest of anv railroad scheme." Mr. J. O. Wright, chief drainage en gineer of- the V. 8. Agricultural De partment, at a farmers' institute at Swan Quarter, said: 'The last census snowed that Hyde county contains 1,061 cultivated farms. The average size or these farms Is 87 acres. The value of the land alone is 81.084.3:10. The improve ments are worth 8343.700; the live stock $1!0.122. and the farm products not fed to stock 8835. 5t5. Tne area or xne acuity Z4i,so aores. If it were all, drained and cul tivated as it can be and. It produced corn at 40 bushels to the -acre it would yield 9.907.200 bushels. ' If this were loaded in box cars at 404) bushels per car, it would require 24.78 cars to haul the product away. Allowing 2 ! cars to a train and running three trains a day. it would reouire one year's time to remove the crop. Selling this corn at 60 cents a bushel, it would bring a revenue to the county of $5.- 944.320.V It was said yesterday;' "It costs the farmers of Hyde county from five' to seven cents per bushel to get therr grain to market; four cents per bushel from points where there i- no lightering to do with smaller boats, live to seven cents a bushel where the grain has to be carried in small boats to the larger ones and there Is canal toll to pay. Certainly if they could get their grain marketed cheaper, say at four cents t a bushel, and one-half the hauling saved, then a railroad would get the business. At four cents a bushel in seasons of fair produc tion it would cost the farmers of Hyde county 8C1.638. to market surplus of fair corn crop. "We would be even more conserva tive than, this and say that to suc cessfully compete with the sail ves sels and secure the business of 'carry ing these crops, the railroad would have to make a rate of three cents per bushel. At three cents per bushel to market 1.638,450 bushels of corn. would bring to tne raiiroaa. a revenue of $46,153.60. When we consider that It takes 22 vessels with an average tonnage capacity of 25 tons. 3 steam ers, one making weekly and semi- weekly trips, and two making daily trips (one gas boat line making tri weekly trips and. perhaps 100yeseels ranging down from-40--t6hs down to move the farm pridiicts of Hyde coun ty, no one will dispute the proposition that $45,000 for moving tne agricul tural products of Hyde county, i rather below than above the actual llgures." - "Hd county and the lower part of Tyrrell can. owing to the higher tem peratures, caused ' oy surrounding waters, market potatoes, peas, kale, lettuce, beans, cucumbers and nearly every other garden product from five to ten days earlier than any other territory In North Carolina of the same latitude. Its soil Is. specially adaDted to the ' production of thesf. products and the only reason it has not been developed aa a trucking terri tory has been lack of quick and certain transportation. me yiem per acr can be ntade aa great aa any other ter ritory. it having already been demon i-t rated that a many potatoes per acre can be raised as anywhere, in the Slate: that from four to Ove thousand quarts of strawberries per acre can be harvested ln anv favorable reason.

' Messrs. Victor A Boyden and W. W. Vass. and while here he called on Governor Kitchin and Chief Justice Clark. 'Dr. I.ee never omits to Ray that he Is "from North Carolina." 'He loves the State, her history and traditions, and before leaving? Raleigh he de clared It to be the prettiest residence city he had ver seen. Dr. Lee ia renowned as a scientist, and as a student of conuttions. Cor rectly Mpeaking. he is one of the lead ing sociologists of (he world. His ut terances on the ouestlons wkh which he ia imliar are like the dictum of u high court. Some months ago Professor Iee gave a very scholarly talk upou a .profound sociological subject before a convention of scientists in the east. After his lecture he was greeted by an English nobleman who has en gaged In certain scientific investiga tions. The man fiom across the sea remarked: "I've heard of you. Mr. Lee, - and in mv own library I "nave several books bearing your name; but some how I have never been quite able to place you definitely in ihy one class of investigators. Now tell me. just what Is your specialty?" "Man!" was Dr. "Lee's very brief but significant reply. As a matter of fact, although the present age -4s one of specialing. It Is not always the spe cialist in particular fields who is tiext able to understand, and direct men. Some of the most learned psycholo gists know nothing of Hfe or hujrr.tn emotionx. outside of what they tind Si ImwWj or in- their own lalMrato rles. But when Dr. Lee asserted that he specializes in man. he sHtke a truth that has frequently been revealed by his platform work, for he has come to understand his fellow beings as few lecturers do. And the reason for this is not far to seek. Dr. Lee has been friend and companion to all sorts and conditions of men. Before he assumed a position as one of the foremost platform lecturers in America, he has won rank as one of the ablest of the young historians of the country. Before, the had compelled recognition as a historian, however, tie won a p'ace among the great newspaper editors of the present day. Andhe had been ca"-ed to the news paper desk from a university profes sorship, where he had accomplished much in advancing the method and manner of Imparting historical knowl edge to older students. But back of all this back of the career 5f lecturer, historian, editor, professor and graduate student. Dr. Lee had a long line of occupations and experiences that tended to de velop the best that was in him and at the name-time to give him a re markable insight into men. And out of this varied carter. Dr. Lee. through his ready sympathy with his fellowmen. . and his winning per sonality, which' has drawuthe rough est men and women to him-haa made one long and loving study of man. REWARD FOR MURDERER XEfJRO KILLED- DEPUTY SHER IFF OF COLUMBUS COUNTY, IN' COLD BLOOD APRIL 5.

Deputy Sheriff Jesse 8. Long, in Bug Hi!! township, six miles from the South Carolina line, on the night of April 5th. W ilson had been arrested bv the officer on a warrant charging abduc tion. He was being held for the night by Long and his brother-in-law. Miller Gore, who searched the prisoner, but failed to discover a pistol, which Wil son had concealed in his sock. At about II o'clock that -night the negro asked to be taken out or the building, and was accompanied by Long. He then reached for his pistol, killed Long, and escaped into South Caro lina. The sheriff and a posse with a blood-hound, pursued the fugitive till the following morning, when a storm destroyed the track and the pursuit with the hound had to be abandoned.
