COL. JUr.E.CARR FOB ;OOVERSOB.
We see it stated that the Raleigh.

authority that Senator Jarvis is not
and will not be a candidate for Gov-
rnor. The Senator being absent j

Srmation of this, but taking it for
granted that the News and Observer
-would not have made the statement
without some grounds for so doing,
the Reflector cheerfully adds a second
to the suggestion that Col. J S Carr
be the next Democratic nominee for
Governor of North Carolina. Every
reader knows just where the Reflect
tor' stands in reference to Senator
Jarvis, but next to him we had as
leave eee Col. Carr occupying the
iloveroor's chair as any one. He is
an. able man, a patriotic citizen, a
.philanthropist without a. superior in
the State, and would fill the position
with credit and dignity. Greenville

It is early to make candidates,

saying now these nice, deserving
things about one of the State's most
elegant gentlemen and himself its

A question among aeronauts now
is if a man fell from a height of
five miles would he hit the earth.
Some col tend that the descent
would be 80 rapid that the man
wonld be converted into a sort of
human meteor and disappear in
yapor before he reached . the earth.
A bank director here makes a
carious point by asking what right
the State had to take a higher rate
than 6 cer cent since it does not
allow the people to charge over 6
per cent, interest. National banks in
this city reduced their rate to 6 per
cent., though at some places they

Ke. Sam Jones says he pulled
out of the Democratic party because
it wasn't good enough for him to
stay in ; the Republican party, was
too mean for him to go into, and he
hasn't any use for the crazy views
and conduct of the Populists either.
On this showing, about the only
thing we see left for Sam is to get
up a little party of his own.

North Carolina will now get lots
of tax out of the N. C. Railroad.
The Southern will have to pay it, let
it be what it may. Under the old
lease had the tax been paid it would
have done the state just as much good
as a man taking ten dollars out of his
right breeches pecket and putting it
in his lef Is this the crime the
News & Observer is talking of ?
Some of the newspapers have
made themselves say that the di
rectors in releasing the North Caro
lina Railroad have committed a
monstrous crime. It is a consola
tion, at least, to the directors that in
the next lease they will have to bear
but little blame and that these same
editors will not be here to become
again excited. Isn't it pleasant
that Old Father Time evens up
things? v
Our Local has run up with some
parties who want Sundays kept in an
orthodox manner. This causes the
authorities to unearth an ordinance,
full of dust and rust, passed-in -1886
during the administration of Mr.
Means. Chief Boger says if the
board says enforce it, he will. Is it
any more harm to smoke on Sunday
a cigar bought on Sunday than one
boognt on Saturday? This is the
question the town fathers will have
to answer and perhaps haye to read
up on m catechisms etc. to arrive at
a conclusion. Between bicyclists
and anti-bicyclists, water melon and
cigar and ice dealers and those wants

WHAT A FiSYV PAPERS SAY.
All Quiet ExceDt the Raleifrh S
ana Observer The Length of Lease
Seems tli e Trouble With Moat of
; Tbem. ..
The Stand abd clips, from those
papers thus far received, what they
have to say about the re-lease' of the
N. C, Railroad. The majority of
the papers are against it and they
are also against the best judgement
of the private stockholders, who are
pleased, and if they are pleased why
should the State not be when it pre
yents others from realizing more
than 6 per cent on loans ?
It striken us that the newspapers
are unduly alarmed for the amount
of stock they haye directly or in
directly in the road. We know
nothing of ' the' feeling elsewhere,
but there is no dissatisfaction here
as far as has been heard. Here are
clippings :
They .Merely Voted Against tne 99
Only two of the directors, Hon.
Lee S Overman, of Salisbury, and F
S Spruill, of "Louisburg, opposed the
lease. The,action of the directors
will be severely criticised. --Salis-burh
Herald.
ITheir fttock Is All Itlffbt.
The extension of the lease of the
Morth Carolina Railroad, made yes
terday, appears likely to raise a
storm among the newspapers. Ral
eigh Visitor.
It Is Too Jjoug.
It is our opinion that the directors
made a mistake in the number of
years the lease shall extend. It is
too loog. And then the rate will
be rather small in the coming years
when North Carolina shall be. far
more prosperous than she is now.
The Raleigh News and Observer
considers it "a blunder without ex
cuse, a crime without palliation,"
The News and Observer is severe.
We do not think it is that bad.
Durham Sun.
They are all Honorable Men.
It was a capital mistake and one
which will be repented of in bitter
ness, .we -are far from lmDeachiner
the motives of the directors. They
are all honorable men, and we say
this with none of the irony with
which Marc Antony said it of
Char's murdeiers, We readily con
cede that they haye done what they
conceived was best to be done under
the circumstances out their action
was monstrous and they cannot
answer satisfactorily for it at the
bar of public opinion. Charlotte
Observe.
This Is a Good Rate.
This is a good'rate of interest,
but whether it is as good as could be
done, we do not know. We certainly
do not think the lease should have
been made for more than 30 years.
We think the directors did wrong in
leasing it for 99 years. Charlotte
News. -'L
Don't Tear Tour Shirt.
Our Raleigh brother,the Observer,
is liable to go into spasms if it keeps
on at the pace it set in today's is
sue about the directors" of the N.
0. R. R. Company leasing the road
to the Southern.
The rage of the editor and all the
staff is simply terrible to behold.
But of course one or two men on
a newspaper know more about what
is best for the road than do its direc
tors who are chosen to especially
look after the property, ,
According to the Observer one of
two things i3; dead sure either the
directors are infernal; scoundrels or
the biggest fools in America.
uu i3 ngin ine vooeryer or
the directors ? Greensboro Record.
It Wa a Good Bargain.
A Record man has talked with a
number of- conservative business
men today regarding the lease and
they are all of one mind that it ?as
a good bargain. .
When the State says, by statute,
that six per cent shall be the lawful
rate of interest, it looks like it ought
to be satisfied with seven.
But of course these directors will
be crucified to" a man so were the
directors who first leased the road in
1870, but their action, has since been
universally commended Greensboro
