Cook .made a report for the special
committee on the bill regarding the
tease of the North Carolina railway,
offering a substitute for the original
bill, asking tbat It be adopted as the
bill; asking that it be printed and
that it be made special order for next

stated that the house would be light
on Friday owing to the absence of
committees. Cook then moved that
the bill be made the special order
for noon next Tuesday. It was so
ordered. Aiken gave notice that as
a member of the speciol committee

special order the bill, introduced by
Hanccck, to "restore to the State the
management and control of ' the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad. "

saying it was' introduced because
the directors had' under the com
pany's by-laws met in secret ses
sion and taken control of Ihe road,
disregarding the State's two-thirds;
that they issued a call to the stock
holders to meet and seal the con
tract. Hancock said that as a stock
holder, ai d belfeving they wanted
to get absolute control of tha road
for forty years," he had applied for
and obtained an injunction, and the
private stockholders were pre vented
from disposing of the State's, inter
est to themselves.- That the djreo
tors met again secretly, , December
31, and changed the by-laws so as to
get control, and take it out of the
hands of the president and directors,
and place it' la .the hands of the
finance committee. 1 He said that W.
S. Chad wick,-president of the road,
had secured proxies whdh, gave;
him over 60Q .votes, whjle V.
Dortch, Stta proy,; representing
12,000 shares, represented only 850
votes. He declared that in violation
of the charter private Mock had
been so divided as to" oontrol .the
road'i affairs, and take It out of the
State's hands; .tha. Chad wiek. and
eight Uttla Chad wicks had stock;
I tbat they themselves could get op
a stockholders' meeting any time in

sent 1,088 shares.

LET THE LEASE ALONE
Wht FalUd to Bappta at tha Cbatn-
The regular monthly .meeting -of
the Chamber of Ootwerce was more
largely attended last evening than
has been the case foi( many months.
Every one was waiting for some
thing to drop, but drop it did not,
and when a motion w$a made to ad
journ there was a smile on every
face present- It was current
talk on the streets yesterday that a
resolution would ba (introduced de
nouncing the lease of the North Car
olina railway to the Southern, and
nearly all of our representative busi
ness men turned out to tuke a hand
in the fun. There Wfts some fun,
but different from that expected.
The lease matter was- not referred
to. The sentiment of those gentle
men present was overwhelmingly in
opposition to the contemplated reso
lution.
On motion of Capt. C. li. Denson,
tho President was authorized to ap
point a committee of seven to appear
before thelegislativecommittetshav
ing in charge the reformatory bill
in behalf of the establishment of
such an institution.
President Thompson of the Elec- :
trie company, atthe requestof Chair
man Po'ue, made an encouraging
statement ubout the prospects of
rebuilding the street car plant A
motion was adopted by unanimous
vote requesting our citizens to sub
scribe for electric lights in order to
secure the re-establishment of the
street car line. . '
DASHED INTO A FREIGHT
Southern's Train I'psets a Seaboard
Train at the Cary Crossing.
The Seaboard-Southern rail way
war seems to be on in earnest. .
This morning the Southern rail
way's freight tcain, No. 73, ran into
a Seaboard Air-Line freight just this
side of Cary, where the Seaboard
track crosses tbat of tho" Southern.
The Southern's .train knocked four
of the Seaboa-d's cars from the
track, breaking two of them into
kindling wood. The engine' to the
Southern's freight was badly bat
tered and the front trucks jumped
the track. The Seaboard's engine
was not damaged, oa it was above
the crossing.
The regulations arc that all trains
shall come to a full stop, where one
road crosses another, before they
pass by. The Seaboard freight had
complied with the regulations and
was moving slowty and with great
difficulty, when the Southern's
freight train came thundering
through Cary. TRe air brakes had
refused to work and the engineer
was unable to control his iron steed.
No one was hurt, strange to say.

In Regard to Rslelgh Schools bj Commls.
sioners Snpt. BoireU Talks.
The board of county commissioners
were in extra session Monday and
Tuesday. They have decided to do
nothing in the matter of apportion
ment of school funds of which the
Raleigh school committee complains.
Superintendent Howell was asked
if this was because as Mr Rogers,
the clerk of the board, had stated
in the News and Observer, the
schools of Raleigh had received
already as much as, or more than
they are entitled to.
"Of course," he replied, ' the
comity commissioners think so, else
tbey would have .made our appor
tionment laiyer. "
VMr Rogers, I notice, says your
conclusions are all wrong, and he
gives figures to prove it. ' '
"Yes," replied Mr Howell, "but
his figures are the same as mine, for
I got them from the record in his
office, and the only thing he dis
proves is something I have never
said. We disagree as to law, not as
to facts; not about what the com
missioners have done, but as to
their right to do so. Mr Rogers'
statement is an ingenious attempt
to make the casual reader think I
had erred in say facts, and my argu
ment consequently worth noihing.
But please publish what I did say
in the JNews and Observer of last
Thursday, and Mr Rogers' com
ments there on. I want the people
of Raleigh and of Wake county to
know what is being done with their
school money, and that no one has
disproved a single statement I have
made. I said."
"There are 18,090 children iu the
county. The school fund appor
tioned was $27,796, this gives $1.53-
6-10 for each person of school age.
In Raleigh township there are 6,571
children, and we ought to ha,-e re
ceived $8,657. Instead, the board
of county commissioners allowed us
$7,799. or only $1.40 for each child."
'This is the way Mr. Rogers re
plied to that in the News and Ob
server last Saturday :
"In nearly all of his calculations
Superintendent Howell startsout by
stating what he simply supposes to
be a fact, but is in reality, very in
correct, and hence his conclusions
are erroneous. For instance, he has
said that the board only gave Ral
eigh township its per capita of the
two-thirds required to be apportion
ed per capita. Now, take two-thirds
of the school fund, and divide its
per capita, and it will give$l. 02 8-10,
while in fact the board gave Raleigh
$1.40 per capita. So Mr. Howell is
mistaken just 37 J cents per capita.
Nearly all his other calculations are
equally erroneous."1
"Well, you and Mr. Rogers seem
to agree as to the per capita appor
tionment in this township, $1.40.
Bow did he happen to misquote
your statement so widely f
"I don't know, unless because he
had not read it. Unfortunately for
Mr. Rogers' argument, I did not
'start out" as he has represented
me as starting, nor did I ''simply
suppose" what he has given me
credit for. ' '

OVER A MILE A MINUTE.
Some Kcmarfcabla Time Made by the
Seaboard Air Uaa. "
The railroads have been mas lng;
some fast time lately. '
The Seaboard Air Line made a run
of 78 miles in 72 minutes and the
Baltimore and Ohio made 41 miles ia
37 minutes. Engine No. 1313, which
draws Royal Blue Line train No. Ml
from New York to Washington, oa
January 24th made a run from Cam
den Station to Washington in thirty
seven minutes. The distance is 41
miles. The train left Camden station
at 4:02 aud was in Washington depot
at 4:39.
The run from B ranch yille to
Trinidad, Washington's city limits,
a distance of eight and a half miles '
was made in five minutes. Engineer
Scbuitz was in charge. The fast
time was made because the train
was feveral minutes behind time.
Engine No. 1313 is one of those
reep-.tly built for the Baltimore and
Ouio. It is a Baldwin ten-wheel
driver. The fast time made on the
Seaboard Air Line is paiticularly
interesting because the engine used
was built by the Richmond locomo
tive works, a southern concern.

A Card.
Since my arrival in Raleigh I find
some malicious enemy has circulated
the report, that I was bought off
from the state ticket after being nom
nated as auditor. I wish through the
columns of the Press-Visitor to
deny suoh a charge, and denounce
the originator as a liar, thief and
knave of the deepest dye I liv ia
WHkesboro.
