' ep J. I' l.-'.r. V.". - How anxious women ought to be to give their children the blessiner of a good constitution ! Many women long for a child to bless their home, but because of some debility or displacement of the female organs, they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity b accomplished by Lydia E. PInkhara's Vegetable Compound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone and strength to the parts, curing all displacements and inflammation. Actual sterility in woman is tery rare. If any woman thinks she is sterile, let her write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, whose advice is given free to all expectant or would-be mothers. The medicine that instantly asserts its curative powers in the ills of women is Lydia E. Pirtkham's Vegetable Compound. INVESTIGATE CON DITION OF A, & N.

I had two mis carriages and both my husband and I felt very badly as wo t ;re anxious to have children. A neighbor who had been using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ad vised me to try it, and I decided to do so. I soon felt that my appetite was increasing, the -headaches gradually de creased and finally disappeared, and my general health im proved. I felt as if new blood coursed through my veins, the sluggish, tired feeling disappeared, and I became strong and well. "Within a year after, I became the mother of a strong, healthy child, the joy of out home. You certainly have a splen did remedy, and I wish every mother knew of it Sincerely yours, Mus. Asrcu.

And that the governor, who is ex-officio chairman of the board, shall appoint a committee of three citizens w ho are to assist the board in the inves tigation. The governor has not yet made the appointments. The board, it will be remembered, consists of Mr. B. W. Ballard of Franklinton and B. C. Beekwith, Esq., of this city. HE STOLE CLOTH ING AT A FIRE Sheriff of Halifax Commits a White Man to the Peni tentiary Sheriff House of Halifax was here yesterday for the purpose of delivering to the penitentiary Russell Braswell, a white man who is to serve a term im posed by Judge Council for larceny. The circumstances are that Braswell as in Roanoke Rapids on the occasion of a fire in a clothing store and a quan tity of the stock having been removed the fire gained headway Braswell was engaged to guard the goods gotten Htt. While serving in this capacity he "fitted himself out" with a new suit and other articles of clothing. RECEIVERSHIP ANNULED WITH OUT DISCUSSION More Riots Disturbances of strikers are not near ly as grave as an individual disorder of the system.

' It is further ordered, adjudged and de- , creed that said receiver file an account j of his dealings with said' defendant corporation In this court for the exami nation and approval of said court, and that upon the approval thereof, said V.

It is further ordered and adjudged that the com plainant recover no costs In this cause, and that no allowance shall be made to the said receiver or his counsel to be taxed' against said defendant or: paid out of the assets of the said com- ; pany, but said defendant be, and it is hereby discharged and freed from all liability of every, kind for any costs or ; thoroughly inspected as well as the physical condition and needs of . the line. This work will probably begin as soon as the governor . names' his three' assistants. Payment to Mr. E. C, Smith -.. Mention was made yesterday that Mr. Ed. Chambers Smith, who sold Mr. K. S. Finch 47 shares of stock had re ceived a payment from the purchaser. In regard to this Mr. Smith yesterday made this statement: "I had no doubt about the bona fides of the purchase of my 47 shares of stock in the Atlantic and North Caro lina Railroad Company, on the 23rd of last month, and I considered that the title to the stock passed to Mr. Finch, and that his title was not affected by his handing the stock to me to hold as collateral to his note for . the purchase money. I have, since I was , examined as a witness before Judge Clark, and after, as I understand the complainant had determined to dismiss his bill, re ceived and credited upon Mr. Finch's note a partial payment of $2,250 in cash, and still hold the stock as col lateral for the balance due." Stock Quatations There are two propositions' to lease the A. and N. C. R. R. now in the hands of Governor Aycock, namely the offers of the Atlantic Railroad Com pany and of the Raleigh "and Pamlico Sound Railroad. These came in after the appointment of the receiver and have never been taken into considera tion so far as is known.

M'BEE INTERVIEWED Bench Warrant for the Wrong Man -Talks of Recent Events Capt. V. E. McBee will go to New Bern today to turn over the road of which he was receiver to President Bryan. Capt. McBee was Interviewed by a Post reporter last night and said: "I hardly know what to say in reply to your inquiry as to my opinion of the situation, or as to what has transpired In the past few days. - Now, .when I came back to " North Caro lina with the hope of helping Her prog ress by Inducing sufficient capital to lease the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, and by the application of business methods to its man a goriest and by building: from New Bern to Washington and Plymouth to Edenton, for the purpose of orgrinizing' a little independent transportation system in the eastern part of the state, I did not come with rubber shoes or dark lan tern, tut went immediately to the gov ernor's office and stated to him frank ly what my mission was and subse quently acted exactly in line with his wishes, until a friend of mine told me that the governor had said that; he was not going to lease the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, and the paper he gave me as his minimum proposition was written In pencil, 'was not signed and he was not obligated in any -way to stand by It, even if I accepted it. V "I know, or at least I was told, that a number of the largest stockholders had been to him and begged him to ac cept my offer, but, when they found him "sot in his ways,"1 they "suggested to me a receivership and assured me that a number, if not quite all, the private stockholders, would join iirthe effort until the lease could be effected. Knowing as I did that the last report of President Bryan, which , had been read and confirmed by his directors, plainly stated that the road was liv ing from hand to mouth and dependent upon the courtesies of Its competitors for equipment and was dangerous for people to ride " over and ' required Tan Immediate expenditure : of . $265,00(3 or thereabouts, and a -resolution to raise money was voted down and no provision or suggestions made to eliminate the dancers, but, j on the contrary, after the confirmation of the unprecedented annual report of Presldant Bryan on September 24, with an adjournment to reassemble on De cember 10th for further consideration of these subjects, his Excellency, the Governor, who unquestionably has th welfare and safety of this state and people at heart, refused to allow his proxy to attend the.meeting or to sug gest a . single idea towards raising money to strengthen the co-efficient of safety to the road "bed, but on the con trary reappointed the president and the same' state directors to continue in charge of the property, which was re ported and confirmed by them, to be in a dangerous physical condition, in debt, and no current collaterals or possibili ties of financial release there was no reason why a; Receiver should not be appointed, and every reason why one should bo. ; " ' --. "The appointment of a receiver was sudden but in no ; wise "conspiratous." Now let us compare the zealous busi ness efforts on the part : of Finch and what might be termed ' "criminal neg ligence" on the part of others. "Finch bought his stock from an old holder of record who preferred to sell if the property was continued as it had been, for he felt that a lease at any price would be more advantageous than conditions as they were. The.bill in equity, which sets forth justice .to all, was signed by an' ACTUAL, owner of 47 shares of ' stock, and of all the numerous press and oral comments not one has ever Intimated that the bill was not Incomparably strong and con tained all . the legal elements which surrounded the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad with a receivership. When the bill was presented to his honor. Judge Purnell, my appointment was not sought by me, but was no doubt considered logical, because I had publicly offered to lease the road, give bond and pay a higher price than had ever been offered before, and rehabili tate the property by making It safe. The bill in equity did not plead insol vency, but merely asked the privilege of a lease in line with the express pref erence of 10-12ths of the private stock holders. But when it was announced a bill had been presented to the judge of th district and a temporary receiver appointed the entire line of private holders fled, plead innocence and called for help. , "Now the receivership, upon agree ment of' all parties, and order of the court, has been discon tinued and the property returned; to the president and directors within such a Fliort while that little has baen j done except to check up the methods of business and discharge some non-producer?, and the last annual report still stares the public in the face. True enough, sufficient pub lications have been recently made to call universal attention to this prop erty being dangerous, and it is now up to the board of directors, Including the state proxy, to make immediate amends or continue to operate under weak conditions. To strengthen it suf ficiently, according to the report of Sep tember 24, 1903, would require $265,000; and, while; I shall not again offer to lease the property at any price, the state and stockholders, if I am par doned for the suggestion, must do one of two things: either accept the last report and make the necessary expen ditures or lease and acquire certain application of money to be imediately made. "Finch and I have been termed for eigners and accused of conspiracy to do an unlawful act by filing a bill in equity in the United States circuit 'court. But our life- time record and 1 beneficial work in the state has been' quite equal to many who wish to de- notmce us and I can only hope that the 1 political, if not the moral, cowardice ; displayed by many when Judge Clark ; issued his bench warrant may terrify ' some of the citizens to act in' a way that will be' conducive of the state's good. I can not censure Chief Justice Clark for issuing a bench warrant, but I am inclined to think he issued it for the wrong man If he thought that the state's interest was in Jeopardy In the lap. of the United States court. If he felt that the state's pride and dignity had been attacked, from any dlrectioa except the United States court, I will say more than the attorney general did in his speech, for, if the state' pride had been chagrined by an at tack from any direction, it should hav been defended much quicker than her monetary interest. Realizing1 as I do that the chief justice is a man of un daunted courage, I must say, how ever, and I watched him closely, I thought his Hps quivered and his brow palored when he substantially decreed from" hla exalted seat Might is Right, therefore I was not entitled to waive examination before his court until I could secure additional counsel, since one I had was withdrawn aB a witness and left me to accept the consequences of Might being Bight or go to jail."
