Things to Talk About.
We need a public meeting in Ral
eigh, such a meeting as will represent
all the different shades of opinion so
that we can arrive at just conclusions
about certain matters of great inter
est to our people. Among these may
be mentioned the location of the
Baptist Female College, the Colored
Agricultural College and the build
ing of an auditorium. These three
things are of the utmost importance,
and oub, at least, tne auditorium
may be looked upon as a necessity.
Let us have the views of all our peo
ple about it. As matters now stand
we are losing ground. Suppose the
Chamber of Commerce take the mat
ter in hand at once.
Lecture on London Life.

cause, Rev. J. J. Hall, D. D., has con
sented to deliver his lecture, London
and Life There, at Morehead during
the session cf the Farmer's Alliance

proceeds to be given to the North
Carolina Soldier's Home. We have
had the pleasure of hearing this lect
ure and we can safely say that he
will picture to his hearers more of
London life and tell more about its
parks, museums, tower of London,
St. Pauls, its docks and other things
of interest than one could see if in
that city for many months. Di. Hall
is a forcible and eloquent speaker and
the delegates and other visitors to
this seaside resort may expect a rare
treat.

I. O. O. F.
Regular meeting of Seaton Gales
Lodge, No. 64, I. O. O. F. to night
night at 8 o'clock sharp. The Initia
tory degree will be conferred at 8:15
promptly. Candidates should be on

would also be well for those who

more perfect in the work. Cordial
invitation to all Odd Fellows. Other
business of importance will also be
transacted, which requires the pres
ence of every member.
Tiiikm, Sec.
The Railroad Suit.
The suit now in progress befor So
licitor Pou as referee is attracting
much attention here. It is brought
for the purpose of enjoining the
County Commissioners from the col
lection of $169,000 of the cash of the
road on hand June 1st 1:00, and on
its machine shops and round house
one third or which the board of
County Commissioners is seeking to
tax. The suit also seeks to restrain
the colletion of taxes upon the cotton
platform. The Railroad Company
claims it is exempt under its charter
from tax on its cash as accrued pro
fi'fl remaining undivided in its treas
ury. As to the machine shops, al
though certain work is done in them
for other railroads of the Seaboard
Air Line, still the equipment of the
shops has not been increased for this
purpose but is only equal to the de
mands of the R. & G. Railroad
proper.
In respect to the round house the
cc mmissioners insist that it is larger
than the company needs by one third
and that this excess is caused by the
company's housing engines of the
Raleigh and Augusta Railroad. The
comn.fl.nj7 thut it Han-use lor every
stall in the round house and that it
will soon be oblidged to increase its
accommodation by reason of the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern ex
tension. As to the cotton platform
the company contends that it can
not efficiently serve the public with
out a proper place to receive and
from which to ship the cotton that
comes to this market. Before the
platform was erected the cotton was
unloaded in the mud back of the R.
& G. warehouse. It is a great con
venience and is almost indispensable.
The commissioners also contend that
the land iu the Y near the N. C. Rail
road depot, is liable to taxation, al
though the railroad claims that it is
necessary t'oi unloading coal, lumber j
and wood in car load lots.
Of course tjie whole question turns
upon whethe these several properties
are reasonable necessary for the sue j
cessful operatbn of the R. & G. Rail- (
road and are not plainly m excees of
its present or prospective demands.
We regret to tote that Mai Winder
in his evidence yesterday partly con- J
firmed the runidr of the removal of the
shops.
