Knoxvuae, Tenn., April 7. The Htigatlonagalnst the Southern Build ing and Loan Association was begun anew yesterday, when a general creditors' and holders' bill against the Association was filed in the Chancery court by counsel for sev eral stockholders in Virginia and Kentucky. It prays for a receiver for the association, alleging insol vency, and an injunction restrain ing other creditors and stockholders frorabriuging any othersuitsagaiust the defendant. Chancellor Lindsay refused to allow the receiver until the case could be argued, but he did grant the restraining injunction prayed for. This association was only last week turned over to its directors by Judge Clark, of the United States court, it having had a bill filed against it a few months ago. Im mediately after the bill was filed, the directors met and it was agreed that they employ all the legal assistance necessary and fight the case. This is the largest building and loan association in the United States and since it was declared solvent by the United States court, has been doing a good business. It has large shareholders in the Southern States. This committee consists of Mr.. George P. Howard and Mr. E. M. Bass, of this city, and Mr. M. L. Farmer, or Newman . These gentle men met here yesterday morning and remained in session all day. They carefully considered the situa tion of the association and finally decided to employ the law firms of Abbott & Cox and Brannon & Ark- wright, to represent the board of directors in their efforts to take the association out of the hands of the receivers. These two law firms, itissaid, are now investigating the lecal aspect of the case, and as soon as they can get their hearings and prepare a motion for the dismissal of the receivers, they will make formal application to the courts.

Mr. Terrell has been on the West ern North Carolina division of what is now the southern road for twenty nine years, and that was the first and only accident in which the slightest blame could be attached to him, and the citizens of the county united in a petition to the Southern railway authorities asking his rein statement, and expressions of grati fication can be heard on all sides at his good fortune in being reinstated. The Eastern Judgeship. The Charlotte Observer's Wash ington correspondent today says: "The presence of four of the candi dates for the vacant judgeshipin the eastern judicial district has given rise to the supposition that some definite action will be taken by the president within the next few days. Judge W S O'B Robinson, of Golds- boro, and Mr T R Purnell, of Ral eigh, arrived yesterday, and Judge Timberlake and Thomas Settle are already on the ground, where they have been for several weeks. The contest is said to be narrowed down to Mr James Boyd, of Greensboro, and Judge Robinson, of Goldsboro. In connection with the above It may be well to remark that Col. T M Argo's claims are being strongly pushed and it comes from responsi ble sources that his chances are most favorable. PBB90JTAL. Mr. O B Barnes, of Greensboro, is in the city.

It Is expected by the de partment to keep the Raleigh in foreign waters until June, 1899 and no officers or men will sail in her whose time expires before that date. Is the Southern Right .' The Greensboro Record says : It is hardly probable that such eminent counsel as Carlisle, Stetson and Crawford would advise the Southern Railway Company to the expensive course it is now pursuing with respect to its contracture! rights with the State and the North Carolina Railroad Company, unless they were pretty sure of their foot ing, for whichever way Judge Simonton may decide the question, it will go to the Supreme Court of the United States and it is more than likely that the decision of that tribunal will stick. Prejudice is one thing, politics another, another, and law still an other, sometimes prejudice and poli tics contiols the law, but the law never control, prejudice or politijs. The fight is on, tne gladiators are in the arena, the referree is the judge, the judge is the law, the law is supreme. Long live the State, long live the government of the States.

Numerous calls, which kept the hall in a roar, induced the mayor to respond. "Two years ago when you did me the honor to elect me Mayor, I prom ised you astraight, clean progres sive administration. My renomina- tion is an endorsement of the im provements by my associates, and a compliment to me which I appreci ate most highly. When I was elect ed I tried to leave behind me all partisanship. In the trfal of causes vexatious and numerous I have held the scales of justice evenly, protecting the innocent and punish ing the guilty. "I can offer no stronger guarantee for the future thanmy record, which is known. It you elect me, I shall do my duty faithfully and fearlessly. "There isn't a man in Raleigh who hasn't an interest in the city govern ment. If you haven't registered register. Get your own households in order. Then get others to regis ter.

The Woman's Exposition at Charlotte. special from Charlotte says: The building for the womens' ex position is going up rapidly. The building is to be be quite a band some substantial affair, and will be an ornament to Charlotte, not only during the life of the exposi tion, but after its close. The exhibit of curios and war relics, revolutionary and colonial ob jects, will be the finest ever seen south and will contain many val uable loans never before placed on exhibition. The building and grounds are to be lighted by electricity which will be supplied by a 700 power light plant, erected on the grounds by the Charlotte Machine Company. Un doubtedly the electrical display will surpass anything ever seen in the state, as this company has almost inexhaustible facilities. An exten sive display by the cotton mills of the two states is expected, as mill men aie deeply interested in all that will develop the industries of the Carolinas. This exposition, it must be-borne in mind, is not one that covers acres of ground, but is a compact, com prehensive exhibit along art, scien tific, historical and industrial lines, in which great care has been exer cised in eliminating all hackneyed or objectionable features.
