Raleigh Post, . , Mr. Armistead Joiim, the president of the board of internal improvements of the Atlantic & North Carolina road, re turned Sunday from the Inspection tour which was made over the road Friday ana Saturday ry the board and directors. The board of internal improvements was mueb- pleased with tne management: President Jones said. It; endorsed the action of stockholders in rehabilitating tbe road with terminal, facilities and rolling stock. t For years the road has suffered because of the desire of those in power to appro priate all profits towards ' the payment of dividends. The result was that the property of the road deteriorated and it became absolutely necessary to build it up and make new additions. Last year was the most" successful in the history of the road. This year the indications are that the profits will be larger than in 1899. The Sunday pas senger trains which - President Bryan introduced have been liberally patron ized and greatly appreciated by the peo ple along tne road1, j, v .f u ATMfogffi THE?

Bellamy's Bill in the House Receiv ing Considerable 'Support. A special to the Charleston Post from Washington says:- , . v . 'Representative Bellamy; who has in traduced a bill in tbe house of represent atives aimed at the1 paper trust of the country, is receivingf ; considerable stipl port.- ; ! ' :. . -jflui- unoufa -i-f I'Thebill, if passed by congreeajiwould be a direct blOw, to this trust which, has been enabled, by the duty to keep, up high prices on paper. , The removal or the ,eqT tire duty on wooq pup aid t-he reduction of : the duty on manufactured; paper ; 5Q per cent., as tne measure proposes, wouiq do much toward breaking ap tne preseni combination existing. ' The paper trust, it is needless to say, is fighting the re moval of the duty on manufactured pa per tooth and toe bail, but the sentiment Sn the house in favor of the passage of tbe bill is found to be very great, i "The southern members of congress, in cluding. it is believed, the entire South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Texas delegations, are in Javor Of Mr, Bellamy's measure. The" nieasure is es pecially in the interest of rural newspa- prs, and is receiving a large support from that quarter. v "The sentiment In favor of the passage of this, or some bill similar to that of Mr, Bellamy's measure, is not found alone on the Democratic side of the house. At least one Republican in the house, Mr, Tomkins.of New York state, has declared himself in favor of the removal of tbe duty on wood pulp. He goes farther even than does the proposed measure of Mr. Bellamy, and says he would like to see the entire duty on paper, manufactured, removed if possible. Other Republicans in the .. house, some of them otherwise strong protectionists, coming from the rural districts, are being besieged by their constituents to support the bill, and many Of theffi are declaring themselves in its favor. It heiHrift to look as if the sen timent in the" house tutgfct become strong enough tocompel the reportingof the bill from the ?prays and:jm,ans -committee, of the honsej wherd it is no wipending,nd its passage through: th bor fepre eentatives.If be hilt; MrnlTamy should pass through the JkhwI- strong effort would be made to J seOTrtfjts pass age tnrougn taewnatewi ' If the papers in the several districts ivill take the proper stand, they can forpe their congressmen to favor repealing tne duty on wood puTp'and paper, or retire them to private life and help send some better congressmen to Washington..
