COUNCIL OF STATE
SETS LACY'S REPORT
State Treasurer Convinced
That 6 14 Per Cent Best
Rate On Paper
The Coaaeil of State yesterday re
ceived the report of State Treasurer
B. B. Lacy, who went to New York at
tha instance of the council and there
perfected arrangements for the sale of
four and a half million dollars of
North Carolina one-year notes at six
aad a quarter per cent.
State Treasurer lAcy explained ths
not indicated but was understood to
have been based on recommendations
submitted by Secretary of the Inferior
I'ayne, who still acts as direetos general
of the railroad admin istraticn.
The reply, it was suggested at the
White House, would take up points
raised in both of the telegrams sent to
the President this week by the railroad
workers through II. M. Jewell, Presi
dent of the Knilwny Employees Mepsrt
ment of the American Federation of
Labor. The railroad nniona in their
first message, received at the White
House Tuesday asked the President to
investigate tha statement before tha
railroad labor board by W. W. Atcr
bury, vice president of the Pennaylvania
lines, thst the earners must be allowed
to re adjust wagea or face the danger
of bankruptcy, and if the statement
were found to be true, to place tha mat
ter befere Congress and ask immediate
ration. It is said to be mane up Urge
ly of a good etasa of eitixenship. The
thing that aroused tha Governor was
ths use of the Ku Klux Klan aa a name
with the implied meaning attributed to
the old order, and the further fact that
the Governor is convinced that no order
is justified in undertaking law enforce
ment in the Htate by secret means.
Governor Morrison yesterday stated
definitely that he had never received
an invitation to join the Ku Klux Klan,
aa at present constituted ia North
Carolina, and stated, just as definitely
that he would not entertain such aa
invitation. On the other hand, he pro
fessed a very high esteem for secret
order of a fraternal nature. The law
enforcement idea caused ths Goveraor
to balk.
The Governor haa already ' been
assured by "some of the State's wisest'
enactment of remedial legislation.

waa convinced that under the eondi
tion of tho market, and since the money
hdL to,.be.aTailble ' before March 1,
tne state waa justified in paying the
excess over six per cent for a brief
period, rather than to see the credit
of th State impaired.

was not harmonious, at first. Bat the

showing that the Treasurer had gone to
New York at the instance of the coun
