K2 WEDNESDAY. JAN. 19th, 191,0. A. 1 1 "" H. A. LONDON. Editor. 1 An effort is being made to col lect about half a million dollars out of our State in payment of a Dart of the special tax bonds is s-ied bv the infamous Republi can Legislature of 1868 and 1869. That amount of those bonds'was to the State of V. vmf O Vt "Maw York Bondholders Committee ,, that bnld about $12,000,000 worth of those special tax bonds. This ciftwas made in order to get Rhode Island to sue this State for the payment of the bonds, because one State may sue an other but no individual can sue a State. The Treasurer of Rhode Island Vina made a demand upon the Treasurer of this State for the payment of the bonds given to that. State, and of course our Treasurer has refused to pay them. Offers were made to of these bonds to Michigan and to New York, be fore the gift to Rhode Island, but those States refused the gift be cause they were not willing to sup onr State and be used as cat's paws for the committee of bondholders. It is said that the Legislature of Rhode Island authorized the acceptance of this gift under a misapprehension, and the act authorizing it will be repealed, but whether repealed or not, we venture the prediction that not one dollar will ever be collected on any cf these fraud ulent special tax bonds. These bonds are not like those which were held by South Dako ta. They were bonds issued by another Legislature and the State's stock in the North Caro lina Railroad Company was spe cifically pledged to their payment. These special tax bonds (as they are commonly called) were issued to the amount of many million dollars by authority of acts of the infamous 'Republican Legislature of 1858 and '69, and for which the State received no value. They were declared un constitutional even by a Republi can Supreme Court and the peo ple of this State, by a majority of over one hundred thousand, adopted an amendment to the constitution forever forbidding their payment. Since the above was put in type we are pleased to note that the lower House of the Legis laiure oi itnoae isiana nas Dy a M 111 unanimous voxe aaoptea a reso lution to repeal the act authoriz ing the receptionf the gift, and the Senate will also adopt it. Several of the legislators indig nantly denounced this underhand attempt to make their State sue our State on these bonds. Today is the anniversary of the birth of General Robert E. Lee and for that reason is a legal holiday in this State and many other southern States. This is WASHINGTON LETTER. . (From our Regular Correspondent ) Washington, D. C, Jan. C.

So far as can be seen President Taft is much in favor both in the Sen ate and in the House among those with whom ex-President Roose velt was in perpetual war. It may be that this situation is deceptive: it may be that sooner or later the President will come outas strongly and defiantly in favor of those policies known as Rooseveltian as he did in his campaign .speeches.

The attendance was much larger than was expected and among those attending were the most prominent members of nearly all the Protestant church es in this State, besides 'many distinguished ministers and lay men from other States. The large attendance and en thusiasm at this convention was most notable and remarkable. All who attended went at their own expense, paying their rail road fares and their hotel bills, and with no hope whatever of any pecuniary reward or political promotion. They were actuated by the best of motives, a desire to do good to their fellow-men by spreading the gospel. The ' harmony that prevailed was such as it should have been among Christian men engaged in so worthy a cause. The fact that so many members of many different churches met together as brethren engaged in a com mon cause has been commented on and complimented by . some persons and papers as if it was unusual or strange. This should not be so unusual or strange as to excite comment and compli ment, and yet the fact is that it is unusual and strange, or at least more so than it ought to be, for members of different church es to cast aside denominational preiudiccs . and thus unite to gether as brethren in the common cause of promoting ., Christianity. held at Raleigh next Thursday, the 27th, for the purpose of dis cussing what can be done to assist the various counties in put ting forth greater efforts for the construction of good roads. This meeting is called by the State Geologist, who is doing a great work now for good roads by au thority of an act of the last Legislature. All persons inter ested in good roads (and who is not:) ought to take an interest in this meeting and help on the good cause. in modo for which Mr. Taft has rep utation. Time will tell and time just now in a political sense is exi gent and will tell verv soon. a & An international celebration to be held on the completion of the Inter-Oceanic Canal has been planned to be held in Washington in 1915. It is expected that everv nation of the world will be repres ented. The President is expected to give his hearty support to the idea and the celebration is to take the form of an exposition. Manv will remember that about twenty years ago the first exposition after tue euwumai xxpusiuon oriuo, was planned to be held in Well ington but after the public had been PrRSOMS nrp not nartinloy ri careful about signing petitions tt'Wt Md iSm and recommendations, and many an appropriation, Chicago, with persons sign them indiscriminate- characteristic politeness, hogged ly merely to oblige the one asking the scheme a"d the great Expo tor their signatures. The truth of this was recently illustrated at the expense of some promi nent Democrats at Asheville, who had signed a certificate of good character for a Republican who wished their endorsement in applying for an office. They cer tified that he was "a man whose character is beyond reproach," and yet it is proved from the court records that he lacked a great deal of being a man whose character is beyond reproach, and now the obliging Democrats who thus certified to his good ciiaracter are trying to excuse sition of the quadrennial discovery of America wras held, not at the capital of the United States, but on the shores of Lake Michigan. Washington has almost doubled in population and more than doubled in means of accommodation for visitors since 1S92 but it is quite probable that after the plans of this Exposition have been made and advertised Chicago or some other city than Washinsrton will get the benefit of it. No other Nation would think of holding such a celebration elsewhere than at its capital, but the United States is lawlessness unto itself. i3 a a That some members of Con gress remember the- weather er purpose.

The Carolina-Georgia debate will be held in Chapel Hill about the middle of April. The Carolina-Washington and Lee debate has been posponed from March to April. This debate will be held in Greensboro. Several years ago Carolina lost to Washington and Lee. With the exception of tnat deieatand the tie with Ueorsre Washington University, Carolina has won a majority of every seri es two out of three with Vir ginia, one out of one with Tulane, two out of two with John Hop kins, three out of three with Van- derbilt, two out of three with Pennsylvania, and eieht out of twelve with Georgia.
