G, Litigation Will Be Virtually Ended on Withdrawal of Appeal in the Circuit Court at Richnond, Unless There is Some Further . Move Nunc Pro Tunc Or - der Vindicated A. & N. C. Railroad matters got mightily mixed up yesterday in federal , court after Judge T. B. Womack made his motion to dismiss the Cuyler re- ceivership suit en the strength of the lease to Howland, and after Mr. Charles M. Busbee, representing the road, had declared, the defendant willing for the action to be dismissed. So far ver " good, but Col. Argo said nis client, Mr. Cuyler, would oppose the motion to dismiss, that this court had no jurisdiction anyway in the matter now. Then Mr. Pou proposed to with drew the appeal, the road to pay the costs in the case. ' Next. Col. Argo demanded to know who this Howland Improvement Gom-( pany was. "You all don't seem to know who your lessee is," said he, "or if you do know you don't tell us." "If it's "the Southern Railway Company finally," he said again, "I say now we will not oppose it." "Well, are you opposing it now?" asked Mr. Busbee. "I used to see a book," replied Col. Argo, "called, I believe, Townes Eng lish Definitions. I wish I could keep it In front of you gentlemen now, so that 3ou might understand the different be tween opposition and inquiry. We are simply inquiring who your lessee is." Mr. Fleming held that the lessee vio lated Judge Purnell's order, said that Mr. Cuyler had not been notified of the last stockholders meeting and did not authorize the voting of his shares for the lease, but if his client was allowed reasonable compensation, he would agree to the dismissal. In the midst of it all Mr. Charles M. Busbee smashed certain nunc pro tunc contentions and accusations by saying with emphasis that Judge Purnell had acted perfectly openly an dconsistently in issuing his nunc pro tunc or der, which was exactly similar to His Honor's previous oral statement from the bench. Judge F. J. Osborne of Charlotte put the compensation wanted by Cuyler and Finch at $27,000. He also said this court had no jurisdiction now. Then he brought in some brand new matter by hiniting that a better bid than How land's was on deck and would be pre sented to the circuit court of appeals. So the situation that confronted Judge Purneli to be unraveled was something like this: The largest private stockholders asks for a dismissal of the suit. The defend cnts agree, but the complainants oppose :t. Then the defendants propose to withdraw their appeal from the order appointing a receiver ,and -the com plainants decline that proposition also, saying -they must know all about the lessee first. They ask large allowances from the court, putting themselves in the position of creditors, o nthe ground that it was their suit that brought about the lease and greatly enhanced the value of the property. JcGze Parncll straightened out the tanild skein by saying- from the bench that the only thing that could be apealed from under the act of 1001 was the -order anointing the receiver. As to all othei 'matters the case is pending in this court; that an order riff ectinsr this matter must depend on the withdrawal of the apeal. Defend ant tei.v.ore da proposition withdraw - ' ihS 'the apeal which the complainants relused to sign. Without this agree ment the apfe-l could not be with drawn. As oiten paid the court had no right to make-a lease and the prop osition cf complainants to investigate the lease made would be of exceeding ly doubtful authority. The owners cf tbe property had effected a lease as authorized by the charter and not pro hibited by the injunction as construqd by the court orally at the tirr.o the injunction w-as issued and incorporated in tbe' nunc pro tunc order of July 27; that the lessee seemed to be satisfac- - tory to all concerned and was even endorsed by complainants counsel; therefore the court declined to appoint "a commissioner to investigate the standing of the lessee or other mat ters connected with the lease. The court then proceeded to order that the receivers be relieved and dis charged as far as this court had the authority to so discharge them pend ing the appeal, this order to be effec tive when the appeal to the circuit court of appeals is withdrawn. The in junction order was construed in accord ance with the nunc pro tunc order, and the oral construction at the time the orde rwas entered, ordered the defend ant to pay all costs accrued. As to al lowances the court refused to exercise it3 discretion to make any at this time, but reserved this question until the litigation be terminated. The bill is hejd with permission to' the complain ants to amend. Detailed Story The circuit court for the eastern dis trict of North Carolina convened at 10:25, Judge Thomas R. Purnell presid ing. Judge Purnell announced that the case of . John P. Cuyler and others against the Atlantic and North Caro lina Railroad was set for hearing. "v Judge Thomas B. Womack, counsel for Mrs. F. P. Tucker, one of the com plainants, read Mra. Tucker's petition, t-Uiruz; forth, tho rec&ut lease of the 1H road to the Howland Improvement Company, the stock of the complainant Cuyler and others being voted for this lease, and asking for a dismission of the suit. Mr. Charles M. Busbee then read to the court the answer of the Atlantic and North Carolina Bailroad to Mrs, Tucker's notice to show cause why the action should not be dismissed. The answer sets forth the lease, declaring the defendant willing to have the suit dismissed and stands willing to with draw the appeal to the circuit court at Richmond. Col. Thomas M. Argo, counsel for Cuyler, stated that his client would or pose the motion to disniiss. - "There was but one thing from which the defendant, could appeal, and that was the appointment of the receiver," said Judge Purnell. "That is our understanding," replied Mr. Pou and Judge Womack. Colonel Argo replied that such was not his client's contention, and he read from the record in the circuit court the assignment cf errors set forth for the defendant's appeal. The defendant's contention that the plaintiff was not entitled to the relief prayed for went to the very root of the whole matter. The defendants appealed from every order of the court. This court, having transferred the whole matter to the circuit court, now has no jurisdiction. Judge Womack, in reply to Colonel Argo, said that the assignment of error did net affect the jurisdiction of the court. There was nothing the defend ant could appeal from except the re ceivership. Judge Womack then clearly set out the grounds for dismissal of the suit, and the dissolution of the receivership and the injunction. He mentioned that at. the previous hearing Judge Purnell stated from the bench that there was nothing in the order of May 2nd to prevent the stockholders from meeting and determining the lease question. Later, when Juge Womack found that this order had been misplaced. Judge Purnell issued his order nunc pro tunc as of May 2Sth, empowering the stock holders and directors to make a lease. This was regularly done and the lease is highly satisfactory to all save the holders of ninety-seven shares who voted against it. In conclusion, Judge Womack said that since the court had taken care of the property and enabled, under it? order, the lease of the road and the carrying cut of the wishes of the stockholders, that the court now wipe the suit out. Upon the petition of the plaintiff there is no need for fur ther action of the court. The rights of the complainants have been fully protected and every petition of their prayer has been fully met. x Jas. K. Pou Mr. James IT. Pou. for the railroad, also replied to Colonel Argo, saying that the railroad was willing to with draw the appeal and stipulate that the road would pay the cost3 in the case. This the appellant was willing to do under rule '20. This is, it senwa time when there might be an end to this whole impor tant matter. First, the complainants asked an injunction against certain Kind of acts alleged to be endangering the property, and your honor granted their prayer. They eet forth that a lease was within the scope of the char ter, that the stockholders favored a lease and that they were unable to carry this out. Then this court grant ed their prayer and at the hearing In May your honor declared that this was a preserving process for the protection of the court. At the order in July 3-our honor made that absolutely cer tain and gave, the full right to make the lease. Jn May the complainants deciaied an advantageous proposition to lease was pending, but the refusal of the state proxy to enter the meeting prevented the leace. Now the road has been leased on far more remunerative and better terms than the proposition pending last May. "Our friends i are hardly prepared to pray for the proposed lease in May and now antagonize the lease perfect ed September first," said Mr. Pou. The hand of this court was extended to enable the owners to make a wise and discreet disposition of their property and this they have done. What are the complainants now litigating for? The lease has been secured, the ultra vires acts complained of have been stopped, so what can be the purpose of this litigation? Can it be the costs in the case? If so that is-mere dust in the balances. Let them come with open hand, speak now and tell us what they mean. We stand ready to 'withdraw the appeal and enter into a stipula tion for payment of costs. Col. Argo In reply to Mr. Pou, Col. Argo said the railroad virtually admitted that the whoI case was before the court now. The main relief asked was to stop the devastation of this property, to take it out from political conrtol, for according to President Bryan in his report of SeptemberrlSOS, the road was run as a political machine. All the relief prayed for has not been se (Continued on Page 5. 3ER THE MORNING POSTWEDNESDAT, SEFTE3rnE7l zrif itjK Cotton From Wilmington ;r: Wilmington, N. C Sept. &0.'

Farmers of Sharon township, this county, are considerably agitated over the discovery of a new enemy to the cotton crop. Mr. Rooser Wolf, a planter, has succeeded in securing a specimen of the worm which is doing the. work. In seven nights this worm destroyed an acre of cotton, consum ing bolls, leaves and stalks. The worm is six inches long and three Inches In girth and when approached emits from ita mouth a great stream of green, venomuos appearing liquid. It is evi dent that only one of the insects was at work, for careful search has failed to reveal another of its kind. Mr. Wolf has the specimen In alcohol and will submit it to some scientist. The farmers are alarmed owing to the re markable destructiveness of the worm, which can destroy an acre of the staple in a week.
