Several week ago tie Governor received a proposition from a Phlladelphhi firm to leafs the A & N C railroad for fifty yean. Ten days ago a memoir of the firm came here, saw the Governor, then made a complete In spection of the road. This . afternoon they sent the Governor a new proposi tion, by far the best ever received.

He replied: "It has been my purpose to lease when I could lease to persons who would keep the lease, improve road, and secure the peo ple., but I haye at no time been willing to lease for leu than Its value, or with out sufficient guarantees to secure, per formance of terms of lease." .

The report of the big duck gun was llke;thunder, and roused the marshes In a fury the hunter sprang from hla ambush across the mere, and ran down to the water's edge, threatening yen-,; geance on the loot who would fire on a decoy. The foraging flock, startled from their security, screamed wildly and flap ped off unhurt to remoter regloas of the marsh. But the lonely captive, the wise old gander, who had piloted hla elan through so many hundred leagues of trackless air, lay limp and mangled on the stained water, torn by the heavy oharge of the duck-gun. The whimsical fate that seems to play with the destinies of the wild kindreds had chosen to let Mm save one flock from the slaughter, and expiate his blameless treason, From the Metropolitan Ma&azini for June, The family medicine in thousands of homes for C2 years Dr. Thachers Liver and Blood Syrup.

No Importance attached to charge of bad oil purchaaes. President Bryan showed wisdom in buying as he did. Some wood contracts made not &I1 business like or wise. 8 ilea of wood from Mr Bryan' land not disputed but railroad gave evidence of necessity of such purchase. Committee proves that road would save in time and money by using coal. MoBee's charge of eleven agents short in accounts not proven true. Only one not able to make prompt settlement. Charge that Mr Bryan had material hauled for his store' buildings without being billed, proven that same was patdfor at published f relghtrate same as other partiea. Charge of loose and careless manner of collecting f.elght on hauling logs, austdaed, but no irregu larity found. Same system prevailed for twenty years.

Judgment of committee, "hot el should not have been purchased, and that It waa very poorly managed," "It appears from evidence that Mr. Bryan had some work done in the shops for himself, which he could not get done elsewhere, and that he paid for It. It occurs to us that the President of the railroad should be entitled to little cour tesies of this kind without arousing cap tious criticism. We see nothing In the matter to criticise." ; Committee believes best management of road cannot bethat under State control It is equally clear properly, is very val uable, iti condition and earning capacity greatly improved in last four years.
