Firemen's Parade. The following is from the Asheville Citizen of yesterday: Today's firemen's tournament events were featured with the grand parade sih.niy after nine o'clock this morn ing. The passing in review of the visit ing and -local firemen with gorgeously decorated apparatus and prancing steeds was an imposing scene. The handsome uniformed, weil-gronmed laddies were on their mettle. They were in high spirit and graciously ac knowledged cheers and smiles that greeted them along the line of march. The parade was witnessed by thous ands of residents and visitors and excited much favorable comment. In the language ot President McNeill, North Carolina's quota ol American heroes were on parade today." Inter mingled with the marching firemen ar.d the fire apparatus came many car riages with handsome trappings and ;!r..wii by spirlled horses. From car riage and brake daintily gowned, charming young women smiled their pleasure and Joy and all of Asheville went on a lark while the band played and the people cheered. The parade was 'perhaps Hie lo.'.'iest that Asheville has ever witnessed. It stretched along Several block:- and was watched with interest and anima tion. The parade formed a! the corner of Haywood street and Montford ave nue. With thi' First Regiment band playing spirited tunes and to the beat ing of drums the column wound its way through, the principal streets. MaVor Barnard, Alderman Randolph, Alderman Kit Zp;i t rick , President Mc Neill, the fire chiefs ot the various towns, distinguished visitors and a number ol ladies occupied carriages following close to the heels of th band. Then came the long liiie'of lire apparatus gayly decorated firemen on foot and many carriages containing the snonsors and 'maids of honor of the fire companies. A number of cry turnouts, with gay streamers profuse decorations found place in naiade and added to' the gaiety of occasion.

GREENSBORO, July 13-Yester-day afternoon the board of directors of the North Carolina Railroad on the part of tin State and the private stockholders held their regular semi annual meeting here, declaring a semi annual dividend of three and a half per cent. The report of Treasurer Eller show ed that during the year the Southern Railway-- which leased property, had made many improvement! In road bed, roiling stock, buildings, bridges and fiad paid all rentals promptly. The private stockholders re-elected Bennehan Cameron, R. F. Hoke and W L. Holt as their members of the board-. of directors. The board was waited on by a dele gation ot citizens and business men from Burlington asking that some ar rangements lie made In transfer of propirly or release of the Southern Railway Company from Its lease obli gations, so that a stock company could become possessed of the prop erty on which stood the Burlington hotel burned throe or four years,ago, in order that a hotel costing twfaity tlve thousand dollars could be built bv them. The board has several times ordered the Southern Railway , to re build the hotel, but It has not been done. Burlington . people desire now to have a better building than the re placing of the one burned would give. No aeion was taken on this proposi tion, a committee being appointed,. look into the legal phase of, the mat ter. H is now said by many lawyers that ihe Southern cannot he compelled to rebuild tiie hotel, since the State is receiving full value each year in rents as if the building had not been destroyed, the only obligation of the company being to return the property In as good condition as they found it on tiie expiration of the ninety-nine .ear lease.' The promoters ot the new- project say they will not risk investing so much money ii a build- in.;; on a sub-lease from the Southern j Railway, fearing that the lease to the Karwar may some day be declared I mid, and Ihey want the Slate to ac jeipt a release of that property from 'lie Railway, and give a deed in fee -imple to them for the hotel site.

The Sentinel Is not in position to verify this rumor, but; It Is fact, nevertheless that there may ho ground for the ru mor. Loeitl capitalists interested In the new railroad say that If the Penn sylvania Interests have taken over the road they know nothing about It, but also say that such a deal could have been consummated without their knowledge by the "Northern capitalists wlio are backing the new line. It Is very apparent that the Norfolk & Western Railroad is desirous of ex tending Its line into the Southern Stati s.
