The threatened conflict be
tween the State of North Caro
lina and the Federal government
over the enforcement of the new
2^ cent passenger rate, adopted
by the last legislature, has been
averted by an agreement reached
at a conference between Gover
nor Glenn and the counsel of
state and the general counsel for
the railroads.
One of the principal Influences
which has led to this agreement
was undoubtedly the threat of
Governor Glenn that he would
call the legislature in extra ses
sion unless the railroads obeyed
the law. This was the last thing
the railroads wanted done. The
feeling engendered throughout
the state by their refusal to obey
the law would ^undoubtedly have
made an extra session unpleasant
for them.
The state of North Carolina
has won in its fight to have its
passenger rate law of 2^ cents
observed by all the railroads
pending an appeal to the courts
by the roads of the state which
propose to fight the law.
The promise of obedience to
the law by the Southern and the
Atlantic Coast Line railways,
which, since July 1, the date set
for the rate law to go into effect,
have been violating the law, was
given at a conference which the
railroads sought with Governor
Glenn, who has stated as a pre
cedent to any agreement he
might make, that the 2| cent rate
law must be put into effect.
The conference was a private
one, newspaper men being ex
cluded at the request of the rail
road attorneys. After the con-
f 4
ference Governor Glenn stated
that at the beginning of the con
ference the railroad representa
tives stated that they were ready
to agree to the 2i cent rate, later
to be tested in the original in
junction case before Judge
Pritchard, an appeal if necessary
to be taken by the state to the
United States supreme court,
w^hile the railroads would appeal
ttre Wake county case to the
North Carolina supreme court,
and if necessary take the case on
writ of error to the United States
supreme court.
The only trouble in the confer
ence was a selection of the date
at which the 2i cent rate should
become effective. The railroads
wanted a longer time than the
State was willing^,to j?rant, but
finall7 the 8th of August w^as
agreed upon, as the railroad rep
resentatives stated that it would
be impossible sooner to make the
proper arrangements at the va
rious ticket offices to supply tick
ets and to fix rates.
Following is the basis of agree
ment;
The agreement entered into by
the Atlantic Coast Line, the
Southern railway and the state is:
“1. The railroads put tbe two
and one-fourth cent rate into ef
fect not later than Augusts, 1907.
“2. The state to appeal from
the order of Judge Pritchard in
discharging parties in Asheville
on writs of habeas corpus.
“3. The Southern railway ap
peals to the Supreme Court of
North Carolina in the Wake coun
ty cases, and if the case is there
decided against it, to take the
case by writ of error to the Su
preme Court of the United States.
“4. That both sides co-operate
to have both said cases advanced
and argued together and speedily
determined.
“5. The state, at its option, to
to indict the Atlantic Coast Line
in one case.
‘All indictments and prosecu
tions now pending to be dismiss
ed and no other indictments or
prosecutions to be instituted for
any alleged violations of the law
up to the time the new two and
one-fourth cent rate is put into
effect under this arrangement,
as far as the governor can con
trol the same.
“The governor advises all peo
ple against bringing any penalty
suits pending final determination
of 'the question involved, and
asks the people as a whole to ac;
quiesce in this arrangement.
‘The suit pending before
Judge Pritchard to be diligently
prosecuted without the state,
however,^ waving any question of
jurisdiction.”
Messrs. Alfred B. Thom and
Alexander P. Humphrey, counsel
for the Southern Railway compa
ny, understand that the South
ern railway will not inaugurate
contempt proceedings because of
anything heretofore done by any
of the state officers in connection
with the rate litigation. They
agree to do all they can to pre
vent the inauguration of such
contempt proceedings.
This agreement between Gov
ernor Glenn and the Southern
I railway is also assented to by
George Rountree, attorney for
R. Nelson Buckley and others,
complaintants. and Alexander
Hamilton, general counsel for the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad com
pany, except that they do not
consent that the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad shall be indicted in
one case. As to this clause in
the agreement, they leave the
state at liberty to do as its sense
of duty may dictate.
acter to hound and bully the
union men. and the tactics of the
army of Pinkertons in their en
deavor to secure evidence will be
condemned by the public. But
the worst feature of the long
warfare, as shown by the evi
dence, w^as the domiuation of poli
tics in that state by the mine
owners, and the employment of
the state administration to har-
rass the miners. The militia
was illegally ordered to the
scene of the conflict, martial law
declared, and innocent men forci
bly taken from their homes and
thrown into the “bull pen” with
out an opportunity for trial. The
property of the union men was
destroyed, and hundreds of them
“deported” from the community
on the flimsiest of charges.
There is much promise for the
future to be found in the fact
that in a jury composed for the
most part of business and profes
sional men, on!y two members
ever having Vorked for wages,
should smash at the outset a con
spiracy which had for its object
the annihilation of honest men.
The promise lies in the possibil
ity that congress will be asked to
investigate the machinations of
the Pinkerton agency and those
who employed it. Such action
would be a warning and notice to
disgruntled corporations and
capitalists, who would wipe out
organized labor, that the days of
the Spanish inquisition have
passed for all time.—Asheville

THE HAYWOOD VERDICT.
As everybody hoped, but few
dared expect, William D. Hay
wood was yesterday acquitted of
the murder of Governor Steunen-
berg. That at least was the
charge which was used to hide
the real character of one of the
most dastardly conspiracies
which American history affords.
The climax of the wholesale per
secution of the Western Miners’
Federation was reached when a
thing called Orchard, a liar and a
perjurer proven, was dragged
out of his lair to help the dirty
Pinkerton association to fasten
its clutches on innocent men.
The struggle between the Mine
Owners’ Association and the
Western Federation of Miners
has been a long and better one.
Crimes have been committed by
members of each organization.
The methods employed by the
mine owners in their desire to
exterminate the union, have not
beftn creditable to the state of
Colorado, as the evidence in the
trial of Haywood very clearly
brought out. Their systems of
employing men of unsavory char

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at,least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. HalPs Catarrh
Cure is the only positive ciire now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a coiisticutional dis

system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and givinj? the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors

powers that they ofler one iiundred

One newspaper story says a>
New York man gave his seat in a
street car to a lady and immedi
ately fell into a tit. Another sto
ry has it that the woman had a
fit. It isn’t at all improbable
that they both had fits. At least
two fits seemed in order at the
moment.
“We never repent of eating too lit
tle,’^ was one of the ten rules of life
of Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
every one without exception during
this hot weather, because it is hard
for food even in small quantities, to
be digested when the blood is at
hisrh temperature. At this seasoa
we should eat sparingly and proper-
Jy. We should also help the stom
ach as much as pcssible by the use of
a little Kodol For Indigestion and
Dyspepsia, which will rest the stom
ach by digesting the food itself.
