TheBe prettjt days are stirring the farmers to do their best in getting ready for another crop. So many unfavorable years in succession have frightened a. number of our temporary residents way, 'five families, aggregating thirty white peo-' pie, have moved from the community, and only one family thus far has come in toward filling the vacancy made. ' Two of our young men are gone twig French has left the community to take work in New Bern, and Daniel Lane, Jr., has gone to Trinity Park High School. The visitors who spent few weeks in our midst are all gone, and now it would be lonely if there were nothing, to do, buj there being plenty to occupy our time, we can't get lonely; but we are getting very busy looking where we have lost for three years and are expecting to find at least part of the buried capital that has been partially submerged in mud and water In these regions of fine land, but too wet to yield abundantly.

The evi dence is all in in the Dare county con test and the arguments of the attor neys have been made, and the House committee on privileges and elections has the matter under consideration. The committee sat' this morning and' continued right through the greater part of the day, the members being excused from attendance upon the ses sion. Among the witnesses examined this morning as to the character of deponents were R. Bruce Etheridge and T. S. Meekins, the State flsh com missioner, for the contestee, Mr. Wil liams, who was declared elected by the official returns, getting a majority of three in the disputed precinct of Trent. During the cross examination of Mr. Meekins Attorney Jt. N. Stmms of Raleigh, appearing for D. W. String field, the contestant, declared that he could prove by the statements of Mr. Meekins himself that he had violated the statute prohibiting a State officer from dealing with himself. But the committee did not care to go 'Into the investigation ot such a matter as that, and the objection of Mr. Aydlett for Mr. Williams was . sustained. Mr. SImms had asked Mr. Meekins if his office was not under investigation at I the present time for this very thing of renting an office from himself. Mr. Meekins said he knew a legislative committee had been examining all the State offices, but not his especially that he knew of. He had received a telegram from Mr. Turner to come to Raleigh because it had been said his accounts were Incorrect, but they had been found correct The arguments were made by Messrs B. G.

C, Jan. 22. A Rhode Island red hen cannot make a success on a clay hill without plenty of sand -r-neltner can our clay roads be a suc cess without a supply ot sand. A hen of the above type has lately made a failure for want of sand or grit, and an operation to relieve said' hen prov ed a failure because it was done too late to relieve the hen. Now the moral is this: The roads about Bellair need sand and need it bad, and need it right away. As there was a lot of clay thrown in the roads on what sand we had, and covered it up, and now we are in clay knee deep with a bright prospect of another drizzly' rain on the already cut-up roads. Some people complain at an ordinary tax levy, but our road mud tax is the heaviest we have to meet. Our mud tax costs time, team, and money, and once In a while a man's re ligion" fails him when he gets fast in the mud and has to get out knee- deep with no gum boots at hand, and unload and then help his poor unfor tunate horse out of a serious mud hole, This Is an age of improvements, and some ot our roads have greatly ifn proved, but one auarter of a mile of bad read Is sufficient on a six mile track to binder, all that go on the track It there is no way to go around the bad place. On the good road medium team, will carry a ton With ease, but they must pass the bad place and It la useless to take on t full load -either to unload at the mud flat or stick, ,ther on stay tilt help comes or tiltthev.mud' Ms,; SS What- we seed most la good roads aid pood all the way. 'They are easy to make too, compared with the treat benefit they are to th traveling pub? Good roads are : great means of moral uplift bad roads' are Just the opposite. We should always stand firm for any. move that means a moral upllfti to, a community. K I i QUEEN TO VISIT JkTkX. ' i ITargherita, Kother of Italy's King, to .. Ga ea AateiaebUe Tor. -.

C, Jan. 22. the pres idents and other high .officials of the Southern, Atlantic Coast Line, Sea board Air Line, Norfolk and Southern, and other railroads doing business in North Carolina, have IsMd before Gov ernor Kltchln the situation as they see it in the matter of .ihe North Car olina passenger rate that stirred such sensation a year ago, outlining a course that they desiie the present legislature to persue tafmaking it pos sible for the rallroads to be relieved of confiscatory rates In the event, at the end of ihe probation year April 1st, next, It shall appear on investi gation that the compromise rates of 21-4, and 21-2 cents are confisca tory. There was a lobg drawn out discussion of the situation after which Governor Kltchln agreed to take the matter under advisement for ten days when these railroad- officials will re turn to Raleigh and hear the conclu sion of the Governor and his advisors and determine upon further action. In the delegation ot railroad officials were Presidents Emerson of the At lantic Coast. Line; Winley, of the Southern;' Johnson of the Norfolk & Western; Mr. Garrett, chief executive of the Seaboard Air Line; Receiver Fitzgerald, of tb Norfolk and South ern, and others. They cajled attention to the fact that they had agreed with Governor Glenn in effecting the famous com promise that the present rates should go into effect for one year from April 1908; that Governor Glenn had agreed to recommend to the legisla ture that a bill be passed authorizing the corporation commission to con sider the effect of these rates at the expiration of the trial period and give relief in case the. rates should prove unreasonably low; that Governor Glenn had made this recommendation to the special session which had failed to make the desired arrangement. However, the railroad companies, these officials explained, had gone ahead and put into effect the compro mise rate rather than throw any ob stacle In the way of an amicable set tlement of the rate trouble as It then existed, simply putting the rates into effect for the trial period and trust ing to the present legislature to pro vide for relief if it should be shown to be needed. The railroad officials explained to Governor Kltchln that the result of the trial had thus far been disastrous to their revenues and expressed the wish for the Governor and other of ficials to examine into the merits of their contention and suggest some ap propriate method of procedure. They urged that they be not left for two more years without opportunity for any relief in the event they establish injustice of present rates at end of trial period. Some machinery should be arranged since the corporation has not now power to act The railroad people disclaimed any Intention to make this conference preliminary skirmish, looking to liti gation which no one had in mind at this time, but was purely to secure co-operation and' friendly support from the State in an effort to conduct the properties in the Interest of the public as well as the owners. Participating with the Governor in the discussion, on the -part of the State were Attorney General Blckett, Speaker Graham ot the House ot Rep resentatives and Senator Manning on the part of the Senate. 1 : Governor Kltchln says that In re plying to the Statement of the railroad presidents that the compromise rates were unremuneratlve and wanting legislation at this time he stated that he had said In his' inaugural address that there would probably be no agi tation for change ot passenger fares during his administration: . that the people were not expecting such agita tion: that he could not encourage any procedure; -but hoped the railroads would try the rates during ahormal yeaiv when, no panio conditions pre vailed,' that he had no Information to Justify him in Suggesting any changes, that It the railroads decided to agi tata the mater the proper committees in the legislature would give them re spectful hearings and careful consid eration and that the former legisla ture had declined- to give to power ot review ot rate to the corporation on mission.

This was Mr. Taft's happiest day in Augusta. The only other day that can be compared with it since he was elected was the one on which he made the Hot Springs golf course in 88. He did the Augusta links In the same score this afternoon, thus conquering the troublesome 'sand greens" and jumping out of the bumble-puppy class. The President-elect left the course smiling his broadest. "Keep back, keep back; don't touch me," said he to his friends, who started to congrat ulate him. Then he added: "Haven't you heard the score?" This was fol lowed by a laugh that could be heard half a block away. The Augusta links are more difficult than those at Hot Springs and the score Is, of course, relatively better than the President-elect's previous ef forts, . Bogy tor the Augusta course is 79. Mr. Taft in his play this morn ing holed out five times on puts from the edge of the greens. He was play ing with his brother, Charles P. Taft, and an Augustan. ROAD'S CHARTER ATTACKED. Attorney General Puts Policy as to New Haven I'p to Legislature. By Wire to The Sun. Boston, Mass., Jan. 22. The Massa chusetts charter of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad is de clared to be subject to forfeiture in the annual report of Attorney General Malone to the Massachusetts legisla ture presented today, because of the action of the railroad in merging with the Consolidated Railway Company of Connecticut, and Increasing its capital stock. The attorney general says the mer ger violates the general railroad law of Massachusetts. Because the question Involved Is one not only of law, but of policy, and because many innocent investors are interested, the attorney general says he has hesitated to bring forfeiture proceedings in the Supreme Court, and he advises the legislature to deter mine what action shall be taken, as authority rests with that body either to legalize the acts of the railroad company or to revoke the charter.
