McNeill Appointed by JudqeLyon to Hate Charge of Consolidated Street Rail way and Power Co.. of Fay etteville. While the action does not ef fectFayetteville' progress in any way, it Is a matter of serious re gret to our citizens that the Con solidated Street Railway & Power Company was placed in the hands of a receiver by Judge C. C. Lyon, at Elizabethtown, Friday, Mr. W. 0. McNeill, president of the corppany being appointed to have charge of the company's affairs for the court. The actwn wia taken on complaint of Mrs. Mary M. li. Mcltae, of this city, one of the creditors of the cor-j poration, Suit had been entered against the company by several outside parties. The directors, Icing unable to float a bond issue before the entering of the suit3, deemed it advisable to submit to1 receivership, thus placing the property under the protection of the court until the stockholders can resume control. The liabili ties are about $00,000. Mr. McNeill was the promoter of this enterprise and its exist ante is due largely to his untiring efforts. This action will not af fect the operation of the system, the value or the property, or the progress of Fayette vilie. Cars will be continued. fRQU CIDAR CREEK Children'$ Dot Successful ttenl -Newt Notes and Personals. i 'vrrfidiBfw of Tbe Inii.

The wotxi pulp amendment of fered by the finance committee, which practically doubles the duty on wood pulp coming from countries which prohibit the ex portation of pulp wood, will be the next matter taken up for consideration. After these two schedules shall have been dis posed of, it is understood the tax on corporations, proposed by President Taft, will occupy the attention of the Senate for several days. 4 The question of free cotton bagging and ties and binding twine are certain to result in an interesting discussion between the Western and Southern Senat ors. The House bill's provision for the free entry of petroleum and its products will occupy con siderable time, as will the dis cussion of the duties on wrapper and filler tobacco, pineapples, shoes and leather, and bitumin ous coal. The Gould separation suit con tinues in Supreme Court in New York. This week the defense continues with witnesses in an effort to establish that the con duct of the plaintiff was such as to justify desertion by her hus band.
