Argument Today ; ' The answer on the part of the North Carolina Corporation Commission to the complaint of the Southern Railway Company in the injunction proceed ing-s growing1 out of the Greensboro Ice and Coal Company case was filed In the Office of the clery of the United States district and circuit court pre paratory for the argument in the case which will be heard by Judge Purnell this morning at 10 o'clock. It will be remembered th it the case 13 one growing out of a diflerenee be tween the Southern Railway Company and the Greensboro Ice and Coal Com pany. The Southern had refused to place any more cars, of coal on the prlvatexFjding of the Ice and Coal Com pany until fees and demurrage claimed :o be due by the" Ice and Coal Company were paid. The Ice and Coal Company appealed to the Corporation Comniis fcion who after a hearing issued an or der for the Southern to put the care con signed the Ice and Coal Company on their private siding3 and" intimating that there was really no grounds for the fees claimed by the Southern. When this . order was issued - the Southern procured from Judge Thos. R. Purnell an injunction enjoining the commission from -enforcement of their ?rdcr on the ground especially that thsre was an interference with the interstate commerce as carried on by the corn panr. The answer on the part of the Cor poration Commission Was filed by . At torney General Gilmer and ilessrs. Battle & Mordecal as attorneys. It sets forth that the order of . the com- Pine Beit mm Construction Company of Rqleigh Chartered With $100,000 Au thorized Capital-Bethune and Douglass Pro cesses Other New Charters The Fine Belt Construction Company iih its principal office in this city et No. 207 Tucker building was char tered yesterday in the office of the fcretary of state, the authorized capiv U bein SICO.OOO.

In replying to that portion of ' th bill of complaint- wlUch alleges that the order of the commission is an in terference with the interstate com merce as carried ' on by the Southern the commission alleges that the plac ing of the cars oft the siding" Would fa cilitate the delivery of the coal mote expediclously "and therefore not be a burden on the interstate comerce, 'but would facilitate the t same in that It would enable the Ice and Coal Com pany to unload the cars more eJtpedi ciously and return" them more speedily to the railroad for other service The answer avers that the commis sion have not threatened to institute suit for the. recovery of penalties for disobedience to the orders by the rail road qotnpany; but. fEfiswer that they have stated. that unless the law is j complied with by the railroad company they will be compelled to enforce the law. particularly the 'statute of with reference to ths loading" and un loading of cars." The, commission further denies that they have attempted to exercise any powers except those conferred by the act of the legislature creating the com slon and in the scope of their author ity as declared by the supreme court of the state. Further, that if any Suit Is brought for any penalties against the Southern Railway, by the commission It will be the fault of the railroad company for non-compliance with the lawful orders of the commission! - As stated above the argument on the bill of complaint and the answer on the part of the commission will be ar gued befdre .Judge Purnell this morn Ing at 10 o'clock. : v - - ' The Southern Hdll way Company will be represented during the argument by Mr. C.

Parker, secretary, of the State Farmers Alliance, on yesterday Issued a circular letter to, prominent farmers In all parts of the state ex pressing gratification that "the farm ers are again to be knit ' together by fraternal obligations" that the farmers are again assembling in their alliance halls with the determination to push onward and upward to the highest suc cess. The letter also urges that there be meetings in every section of the state on Saturday, February 27th, that being set aside as a sort of farmers' tally day. Here Is Mr. Parker's let ter: Secretary Parker's Letter In an address to the farmers of the state, some time since, I-said: "It is gratifying to those who Stood by the Alliance in Its adversity as well as In its prosperity, ever faithful and true to its declaration of purposes, to feel that the fruition of their hopes is so near at hand that the farmers of the state are again to be knit together by fraternal obligations. The fires have been kep burning on the altar, and a light in the window awaiting their re turn. When the farmers have again as sembled In the Alliance hails, and re dedicated themselves to its work, may there be no looking backward, but only a determination to push upward, and 'forward until they shall stand in the front .ranks of American citizenship. "If the order has made mistakes heretofore it has profited by them, and their injurious effects have put.it on its guard against repeating them." Since those words were first written, last fall, hundreds of North Carolina's best and most progressive farmers have been added to the list of active members of the Alliance, and today hundreds now are asking: "When can you send Cates to our country?" "Our people feel the necessity - of organiza tion and want the Alliance reorgan ized." " Within the last Week I have had re ports of four sub-alliances being or ganized, all of them with a strong ac tive membership, and, without waiting rof the state organizer. I commend the example of these good people to the farmers of the state. . In view of the wide-spread interest In the Alliance and its reorganization, coming to me from the different , sec tions of the state, I suggest that Sat urday, February 27th, be made a . gen eral farmers raly. day for the Alliance. Let the farmers of every neighborhood in the state meet on that day at their respective school houses or other places of meeting and get together in organi zation. It matters not if your Alliance has not met in years, get together and reorganize it. I will gladly send blanks or other information at .my command to any one asking for them. A postal will do. Say you want to reorganize the Alliance, giving your name and post office address and I will do the rest. Do not wait for some one else to take te lead, bu you go to see your neighbors at once and sugest to them the meeting. - SECOND DISTRICT ARGUMENTS TODAY Will Be Taken up in Supreme Court Twelve Cases The Calendar The argument of rases on appeal from the second district will begin in the supreme court this morning at 10 o'clock. - Judge Francis Winston of Windsor and Judge B.

Says he feels like exclaim ing, "What hath God wrought." as he beholds the number Of buildings which ha.Vfe bee herected, the improvements which have been made on the property, and contemplates the hundreds of young men whom Mr. Moody helped.

THE ELKS' TEMPLE ' 1 11 III - --.' '. " ' Site Purchased on Salisbury Street for $3,300 . The Raleigh Lodge of Elks have pur chased a site for their proposed teniple and club rooms.

Andrews and Was sold at auction at the court house door yesterday. Mr. John W; Cross bid it in for the Elks at $3,300.

It is expected that not less than 20,000 car loads of exhibits will have to be hand led at the exposition grounds between now and the opening of the exposition, and it is very Important that "the North Carolina exhibits should be pushed in ahead of this threatened blockade if in any way possible.
