Tbe oounty commissioners met yes terday and considered the question of the taxation for tbe extension of tbe Cross Creek stock law territory, which involves the building of about 20 miles of additional fence. Tbe present ter ritory embraces Cross Creek and parts of Carver's Creek, Seventy-First and Pearoe's Mill townships. Tbe conten tion of Mr. J. Q. Sbaw, representing the new territory, was that a soffioient tax should be levied upon all tbe prop erty of the present and additional territory to build the new fence, while Messrs. Qeo. M. Rose, H. L. Cook and N. A. Binolair and D. N. McLean, speaking for themselves and otber property owners in the present territo ry, oontended that tbe tax to bnild the new fence should not be imposed on the property of tbe present territory, bat only on that embraced in tbe new territory. They argued tbat there was now In the treasury abont $500 oollected from the present territory, wbich is sufficient to keep up tbe fence, and no benefit tsan eome to tbem to extend tbe fenoe at their expense, and tbat such a course wonld be inequita ble aud unjust; that tbey have been paying a) cents on the hundred for seven years, and there sbonld be an end of it; that tbe pieeent territory sbonld be taxed only enough to pay for re pairs. &i ; tbat those who wish tbe benefits of an extension should pay for it, Ac. Tbe Board was to have decided tbe matter in the afternoon. Dsath et an Aged Lady. Miss Annie Bule, sister of the late John Bule,' Esq , and of Messrs, Archie and Nelll Bule, died at the old Bule homestead, on the Centre Plank Road, Sunday, in the 90th year of her age.

The Board of Aldermen met la reg alar monthly session Monday nigbt.with Mayor MoMlllan presiding, and tbe following members present 1 R. Mb' Millan, E. H. Buckingham, W. W. Horne, J. G. Hollingswortb, B. 6. Balgb, I. W. Clark, .N. B. Alexander, N. E Banting. D. A. McMillan, W. D. Qsster, J. B. Underwood, Jr., J A. Pdmberton, W. L. Hawley. Mr. H. MoD. Robinson appealed be fore tbe Board in regard to sewering the Mason street ditibes. Tbis was re ferred to the street committee, aa was also, on motion of Alderman Hawley, lbs sost of sewering the ditch 00 Pi r eon street below tbe bslf-way bridgr. A number of attorneys and others being present; in regard to tbe pro position to stop shifting aorots Hay street, this matter was next taken np. Mr. D. A. McMillan, chairman ot tbe railroad committee, reported tbat bis committee bad investigated the shift ing across Hay street, and tbat they bad to report tbat Ihey could not see how it oould be remedied. He also re ported tbat tbe A. C. L. bad recently put a nigbtwatobman at tbe crossing. Mr. N. A, Binolair then presented tbe following petition, signed by 125 prom inent citizens: "To the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Fayetteville : "Gentlemen: It is a well koown fact that tbe constant shifting of railroad ears aoross tbe main tborougbrares, especially Hay street, in this oity is a nnisanoe and a menace to human life. 'We tbe undersigned citizens of Fayetteville pray your honorable body to enact snob laws as to bave same abolished. "Respectfully, (NameB )" Mr. J. O. Sbaw, representing the wholesale merchants, said tbat be wanted it understood tbat be did not represent the A. C. L , but tbat tbe absolute stoppage of shifting across tbe track wonld, as at present looated, greatly cripple tbe wholesale merchants, whose solid oars of merchandise hate to be shifted across tbe street befoie tbey can be delivered. He asked tbat the matter be referred back to tbe Railroad Committee and tbat tbey bave a meeting with all three of the interested parties represented : the pe titioners, the A. C. L , and tbe whole sale merchants. Mr. Geo. M. Rose, attorney for tbe A. C. L, speke for tbe railroad. He said tbat tbe road bad been crossing the track since 1852 and tht only one aooident bad happened on the Hay street crossing (but cot a fatal one), and one man killed ou tbe Mumford street crossing in that time. He said, besides, tbat tbe company had a gate with a day and night watchman, at tbe Hay street crossing. Mr. Fairley, the yardmaster, made a statement, in wbieh he said it wee necessary for the present amount of shifting to be done aoross tbis street. Mr. Sinolair stated, in reply to Mr. Rose, tbat there was a gate at tbe crossing, but that half the time it was not used at all, and related several inoidents where people had narrow es capes within tbe past two weeks. Alderman Haigh moved tbat Mr. Shaw's seggeetion rtfsiring it to the railroad oommittee be adopted. Tbis was seoonded by Alderman Alexander. Alderman Hawley moved, as an amend ment, tbat the railroad be ordered to oesse shifting aoross Hay street within 30 days. Alderman Buckingham sec onded tbis motion. After some dis cussion Mr. Hawley withdrew bis motion on condition that the railroad oommittee meet and report to the Board of Aldermen within ten days. Mr. Haigb's motion, with Mr. Haw ley's proviso, was then put and oarried. Mr. Jones, superintendent of tbe eleotrio light plant, appeared before tbe Board and oomplained tbat tbe poles and cross-arms of the old eleotrio light plant were rotten and threatened to woik irjury to tbe oitj'j eleotrio light system, by falling on tbe wires, etc., as in faot it had already done in some instanoes. Alderman Gaster moved tbat notice be served on the Fayetteville Gas and Eleotrio Light Company tbat the poles must oome down within ten days or tbe oity wonld cut tbem down, as the sys tem bas become rotten, and the charter, if any snob existed, bad been forfeited by non-uie. Tbis was adopted and tbe oity attorney ioatrnoled to draw op such a notioe and give it to tbe Myor to bave served immediately. Mr. J. S. McNeill, chief of tbe Fire Department, asked for an appropria-, tion of $50 to help defray the expenses ! of a racing team to Durham. Alderman' 1 Hawley, seconded by Aldermen Pern-, berton and Haigb, moved that it be granted, and it waa uoanimously ap propriated. Alderman N.B.Alexander, chairman of the light committee, reported tbat the city had applications for 1,000 lights, whioh it oould not fill, as tbe present plant was loaded down. Asked what the plant was doing financially, air. Alexander replied that it was pay ing expenses and furnishing the city with its flftj-odd aro lights free ot cost. Alderman Underwood moved tbat the light committee look into tbe cost of another dynamo, to oarry 2,000 additional lights, and report back to the Board. This was carried. A petition ot ladies, asking tbat Hay street, from the Li Fayette Hotel to the A. C. L. passenger station, be sprink led, was referred to the street oommiU tee. The monthly report ot the Chief ot tbe Fire Department was read and approved and ia as follows 1 Fayetteville, N. C, July 18, 1903. To tbe Hon.

To tBb Editor op thb Observer: Das-rcir: I read with interest, in yesterday afternoon's Observer, tbe aocount of tbe petition presented to tbe board ot aldermen on tbe shifting of trains over the railroad crossings on Uav street. To mv mind, the cist nf this whnla question, from tbe view point of tbe mayor and aldermen, ss guardians of the interests of the public, is this : Does tbe continual shifting of trains over tbe said crossings imperil the life and limb of pedestrians, riders and drivers! In the answer to this question lies tbe plain duty of the municipal govern ment. Tbe upper crossing bas uo safety gates, and passengers aie absolutely dependent on the fallible judgment of tbe tugtran. 1 say nothing against bis fidelity to duty; but, all the same, it is a fact tbat tbe driver or rider is at the mercy of tbis fallible judgment. Where there are safety gates, nothing need be left to an employe's discretion, His duty is to put down the gates on the approach of the train, and keep tbem down nntil that train bas passed bevond all risk. It should be remembered tbat tbe danger at tbe lower Hay street crossing is now increased by tbe ereotion of the handsome Atmaeld and Huske whole sale buildings, ornaments to tbe town and pleasing monuments of mercantile enterprise. Now one approaching from tbe west caonot see a tram com ing from tbe south nntil it is right on Hay street. An officer of the town government told the writer, only two days ago, that tbe danger at tbe Hay street crossicgp, great as it is, is nothing to tbe daoger at the Franklin and Mumford street crossings; there the passenger almoet takes bis life into his hands. Tbe argument tbat this shifting bas been gomg 00 for maoy years without killing op people is about as forcible as tbat of the farmer wbo, warned about a dangerons old well in his yard, re plied indifferently that it bad been just tbat way for years, and cone ot his children bad ever been drowned or broken their necks. By tbe way, tbe counsel for tbe railroad confesses to a record of one person killed and another injured, lama little surprised that tbe whole sale dealers should have allowed them 6olvea to be made anxious over this matter. They underrate their own value. If I mistake not, trains are tun up to the Holt-Morgan, Ashley-Bailey, Southern Oil and Norfolk Lumber mills; the railroad will Sad means, when put lo it, to get tbeir goods to them aud promptly. If tbe rai'raad committee wish to obtain trustworthy iofotmatioD as to tbe danger and worry of these shifting trains, let them interview oi'.icens wbo have lived in tbe neighborhood for years. Tbey need go no farther for testimony. Of course, tbe statement must be it ken relatively tbat it is im practicable for tbe railroad to remedy this shifting. Tbat must mean, of course, as their track, depot and weigh ing arrangements now stand; it is folly to say tbat the main business thorough fare ot a oity must be shifting gronnd for freight trains besause tbe company cannot remedy it. An examination of the petition pre sented will show that the great mass of this community look to the munioipal government for protection in this mat ter. It represents nearly all the bar, nearly all the medical proteseiuo, iuu proprietors and staff of the newspapers, tbe effloersof the backs, a large msjir ity of the merchants, tbe manufacturers and tbe trades, together with a large number of Ibe prominent women aud motbersof familiesof Fayetteville. The correspondent leaves it to the railroad oommittee to measure ad. q lately the consideration to which suou a petition is entitled. I deem it unnecessary to defeod my self from any possible charge of feeling against the railroad; but 1 nave a very deep interest in protecting my own people and my friends from a daily reourring grave menace. - J.
