Those newspapers and pen on taking such an active Interest, and giving inch eager support to the receivership of the Atlantic and North Carolina ralhoad, fail to take full recognition of the hnmll latlng phases of the situation, as it ap plies to Governor Aycock and the offi cials of the road, as well as its employ es. Tne first phase Is the complete over riding of the Governor's authority through the will of a district judge.upon the statement of an outside resident of the State. The Governor, the President of the road, and the Board of Directors, are then subjected to the harshest criticism and are held up to public obloquy, as men who have mismanaged their public trust, and their conduct as officials Is held In such public suspicion as to pro voke unjust remarks and even abuse. A public officer of the road, a gentle man who has honorably held and faith fully maintained his duties for forty years, is thrust out of his office without a day's notice. Mechanics and laborers are turned from their jobs on a few hours notice. The station agents along the road are set down as defaulters, without specifics Hon, and other notices of irregularities are sent out to the public press, Impugn ing the character of men connected with the road. Here Is discredit brought upon the Governor of the State, the President of the State's railroad, the Directors of the load, and a number of employes of the road, and yet there are North Carolina newspapers and citizens who applaud the act, and nrge Its success, which brings this discredit upon their own home people, as if they were all guilty parties. If Governor Aycock, President Bryan, the Directors, and the employes dis charged from service were men of such reprehensible character, as to knowing ly Imperil the stability of a State prop erty, how Is it that it needed an outsider to step in and find such a rotten condi tion of affairs f Not a single person in control of the affairs of the Atlantis and North Caro lina has questioned the motive, which prompted the matter of a lease being made. Bat these gentlemen have questioned and contested the method of securing this lease through a receivership which sought to gain its purpose by first dis crediting the Governor and the entire management cf the A & N C property, aud placing them in a humiliating light before the people of this and other States. That this method shall prevail by which a single stockholder can over throw the workings of a railroad, dis credit Ithose In its management, and dictate to a sovereign State what It must do, if this proceeding ! to be es tablished, there is plenty of trouble ahead for other roads and corporation!. HEARSrS PRESIDENTIAL PRO ' CESSION. Borne time ago the Journal made edl 7 4 torUl mention ot the possibility xt the ,. advent of William B Hearst of New York, as a candidate for the" President J tlal nomination at the hands of the National Demooratlc party in St. Louis, - in July. . .1' ' At that time such a possibility as Mr. ' Heart being at all seriously considered t ' as a Presidential candidate, much leu a 1 nominal, ni lunrhad at. bat todar Mr I Hearst to a very lively factor and Is , not merely considered by his friends for V. the Presidency, but decidedly feared by his political opponents, There Is alarm In Democratic works over his strength, 7j end the once time ridicule Is giving way to efforts to prove from Mr ' Hearst's t9ril(bitt U HotfMf ;? y nrdc4 lor such sv'hlgh. office as Prest- e:st ofhe United 8tates2 y ;, 'V-.f t Zli early In tfcej gatherlpg in of del- efates, from Rhode lalamd cones tie in of Eearat delegates tad It la re ported that LItaoit win give her dale- galas to the New Yorker. " la North Carolina there is active work being done for Mr Heatet's Interests while from Georgia, the AUaatlo Newt says editorially. , 'The would-be seen and prophets should make ao mistake. They seed not doubt tbat the press of the state aad the people of toe state ate overwhelm ingly for Hearst, aad the sentiment Is growing every day. Here Is a political condition which Democrats must face. It la not a the ory but an actual fact that the Hearst Presidential procession is beta, snovlag and growing, and If It coatiauea there wlllbe soetethlng of serious moment for thote Democrats at St LouIj, la July who do not Ilk 5 the Hearst grandof denv ocracy. CE MAINLY INJURY IF NOT CONSPIRACY. What may be termed the preliminary Investigation before the courta,of Messrs McBee and Finch, and their relationship to the alleged co aspiring agalnut North Carolina's Interests in the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad property, makes a very dark showing for these gen tlemea. As certain defenders of the McBee- Flnch combine now sustain their posi tion, that It needed just such unscrupu lous action as this t j get this political railroad to show up Its inside workings, It speaks very poorly to say the least, that the many actual stockholders of record, were dumb to existing conditions and that the attempt had to be made by gentlemen who risked imprisonment to win their point. ;But the Jonrnal'i contention has never been against a legitimate lease of this property, few stockholders are opposed, but that there could be any business sense, decency or justice, In makings wreck of men'4 reputations, of misrep resenting actual conditions, of disturb ing legitimate commercial affairs of men transacting business, whose trade would be unjustly imperilled by unsettled and chacglng railroad methods,sgaInst these the Journal has made every opposition, and has not been deterred by outside critics who may have been honest, but whose criticism was based upon extra neous reports. In this receivership, which Is practi cally a wreckership, the A fc N C prop erty has been Injured, and will continue to be Injured to the hour of Its bona bide stockholders, 'he State and private owners, so long as the present status re mains. If there be actual conspiracy, that will be determined later, and the full penalty meted out to the offend ers. One good effect certain to the grow out this McBee Finch attempt to force themselves Into possession of property, must be better safe guards to protect legitimate and innocent stockholders against those who mry have personal designs upon their property, to secure It, by means however questionable they maybe. There are likely to be few more wreckersklps in North Caro lina.

Marked with the indisputable evi. dence of an encounter tylth John Bar leycorn and a bard flat, he ambled into a drug store for relief. His eyes were half closed; there was a wandering, bleeding laceration across bis forehead; his nose was tilted to one side, and a gash In one cheek completed the dam age.

Xaay prominent parsons were present Including Governor Aycock and all Stats officers. WW Clark, attorasy for Ms Bee asked ten days postponement Attorney Qenl Gllmei and W 0 Monroe associate sonnsel for the State, opposed, saying evidence was well established Associate counsel Uhariea W Tilled for the State, said m legal reason for delay had been given. Jndge.Glersi an desld- ed. Attorney Clark stated he had ad vised hto client to .waive examination, ,and asked leave to give bond. Judge Clark said bond could only be granted upon admission of probable caiae ot guilt of the felony, of which McBee ataads charged, and asked if Clark ad mitted this. Clark said he did not. Attorney General Gilmer thought it the courts duty to proceed with exunl nation of the State witnesses. Olark then withdrew all quaUfleatian and ad' mitted probable cause, and again asked for bond without a hearing. Judge Clark announced evidence would be taken. Tbe first witness was Edward Chambers Smith, the lawyer who sold hto 47 shares of stock la tbe railway at par,$100 a share, and received Finch's note for it, payable la 90 days. Smith said McBee had first approached him and had known man who wanted to buy stock end later Finch came and took the stock. Attorney John W Hlntdele, waa ths star witness for thobtete, he said W H Day, Attorney of McBee and Finch had telephoned him February SO, at night, asking him to go to Day's real deaoe. He found McBee and Day then and was told McBee had made the Gov ernor a bid to lease the road, McBee said be wanted the road properly leased to some body, did not wish to depreciate the property, but effect a lease on the best" possible terms for the stockholders. McBee said large majority of the private stockholders favored a lease, and le knevrotno other way to secure this than by a tnlt in equity, in the Federal Court and n receivership. Finch's name wss mentioned as the man to bring suit. Finch came next day. Hinsdale thought McBee had a prior understanding with him, when preparation of Finch's bill of complaint began he was not a stoekhold. er, expectation was to buy some stoek on which to bring suit ' Governor Aycock swore that before February 1st, McBee submitted a bid for the road proposing to build a road from Haw Bern, to Washington, and gst s Norfolk connection. February SOth Mo Bee submitted a second proposition, but on the S3d before the Governor consid ered It, withdrew it and that very day the bin was filed for' the receivership. The Governor had stated the ' minimum bid U weald entertain.' , .; On the day the bUl was filed Finch and Attorney mnsdale called on the "Gov ernor, say ing Finch had come to see about buying asms swamp lands, Finch than said hetohed the Gov. would lease the railway and' asked if three private stockholders wanted to tease It, would the Governor let theuteroxy go into the meeting. The ,? Governor said the law required the assent of the Stste, He atksd Finch how much stock he had and Finch said a good deal. " The next morning the Governor saw la one news paper that the bill had. been : filed by Finch, and the road placed - in receiver McBee-s hands. " ' The defense introduced no testimony.
