Special Correspondence.
Raleigh, July 9. Governor Glenn
was specially interviewed today re
garding the statement made in some
newspapers that he might convene the
legislature In special session, to re
peal the present two and a quarter
cent rate law and enact one fixing the
rate at two and a half cents per mile.
The governor said in his most em
phatic way that he had no intention
whatever of calling an extra session
ot the legislature, as he had nothing!
to submit to it. Basing its action upon
the report of the railways, the" legis
lature 'had fixed the rate and hefelt
that the railways ought to have ac
quiesced in that rate until they had
had time to make a test and see I acres, the Rhodes,and Rouhtree bulld
whether they could live under it Had I ings, $25,000 in- cash, light and heat
they adopted tljat course and demon-1 for ten years valued at (1,000 per
strated to him or the Corporation I
Commission that they could not live I
under the two and a quarter cent rate
then in justice to' them and knowing
the justice of the people of North
Carolina, he might have called an ex
tra session, but the only remedy now
loft to the state is to fight the case
to the end, in order to ascertain the
point whether the federal courts can
enjoin the act of the legislature ot a
sovereign state before the act is put
in force and a trial is . had to see
whether it confiscated property. The
governor declares that in his opinion
tho state will win the case. , He will
urge the Corporation Commission to
do everything in Its power to make a
complete showing before the court.
The new Democratic state chair
man, Hugh Chatham, jitfaa very warm
ly congratulated today. Senator Sim
mons, the retiring chairman remained
here today. He will soon go to west
ern North Carollna,b'"ut may be (

being slightly below and in the west
ern slightly above. The highest tem
perature was 100 degrees in Johnston
county on the 7th; the lowest 52 de
gree in Surry on the 6th. The high
temperatures were very favorable to
the crops. The rain fall during the
week was much below normal on an
average. In the entreme northwest
and In March, Edgecomtt ahd Craven
it was moderately heavy, but light in
the remainder of the state. . Nearly
every day there was showers some
where. There has been plenty of rain
during the previous weeks and , the
lightness of the rain during the past
seven days was in no way a disad
vantage. There was abundant hot
sunshine which was reported to be
very beneficial , r-.
Last night a young white man,
Thomas Woods, aged 23 years went
to a boarding house here and obtain
ed lodging saying he wanted break
fast this morning.
He was quite pale
and seemed worried. About 1 o'clock
this morning a sharp sound was
beard which some people in the house
thought was Caused by the slamming
of a door, while others thought it the
report of a pistol fired in the street,
A little after 7 o'clock this morning
a little girl went to awake Woods, but
got no answer. Then . her mother
went, opened the door and found him
lying on the bed, undressed, his cloth -
Ing being carefully placed on a chair
and his watch, etc., on a dresser. In
his right hand was a pistol. ;He had
shot , himself in the night the bullet
coins out the back ot the head and
death being evidently Instantaneous.
In the fire place were a number of
letters, which he had torn up and
thrown there. It was found from a
man who knew Woods that last Sat
urday morning he had attempted to
take strychnine in a restaurant but
It had been taken from him. Some
of the letters were addressed to hhn at
Selma others at Garner and others at
Clayton,- but Garner was his home.
The people in the honno said he was
entirely Bobcr when he came to the
place.

Greensboro, July, 10. Dr. W. A.
Coble, of this city, Is the owner of the
land on which the famous battle - of
Alamance was fought. May 16, 1707.
This was undoubtedly the first battle
of the Revolution and . consequently
the real cradle of American liberty
and independence. ' Appreciating this
fact Dr. Coble - who besides being a
-patriot is also a learned historian had
two large and handsome - pictures
made, one showing the monument
erected there to the patriots who fell
in the battle. The other pictures is
a good reproduction of the celebrated
painting by J. Steeple Davis, that
shows much ot the battle field as a
setting to the death of an eilssary of
the king by the hands ot the rebels."
Dr. Coble is arranging to have these
pictures in the libraries of the leading
colleges of the state, in the public
library at Greensboro and at the
Guilford Battle Ground Museum.
Copies will also be placed in the
state's historical exhibit at the James
town Exposition.

Raleigh, .July 11. The question of
whether or not the the Rowlands will
be tried at this term of Wake court
for the murder of Engineer Chas.
Strange depends now largely on the
action Judge Long will, take as to the
admlsibility ot depositions counsel for
the defense have Becured from Mem
phis, Tenn., Norfolk and elsewhere
bearing on the case. The state con
tends that these are Irregular in that
they were taken before the case was
really in court with the true bill from
the grand jury and that they were se
cured without the knowledge of the
prosecution. One is from Dr. Hayn'es
of Memphis, who deposes and says
that he prescribed for Strange Borne
time before his death for heart dis
ease and prescribed and Infusion of
digitalis. And that Strange was lia
ble to drop off at any time owing to
the condition of his heart ' Digitalis
is one of the poisons which it is claim
ed by the prosecution could have been
used to poison Strange without the
possibility of its being traced in an
alysis of the stomach. There is also
a deposition , from W. J. Joyner of
Norfolk to the effect that he had as
druggl8t repeatedly filled the Dr .Hay-
ne s prescription oi Digitalis ior
Strange. It these depositions are not
to be admitted it will be impossible to
reach, the case at this time, and the
probability is that it will go over any
way for other reasons.

Norfolk, July 11, Paul H. Stewart,
Secretary and Treasurer of the Trav- -elers
Protective Association, denies
that prices are exorbitant either in
Norfolk or at the Jamestown Expo
sition as a result of the fair. He says
stories which have been published to
that affect have hurt the exposition,
and that there is no truth In them,
Mr. Stewart told a reporter for the
News that prices - at Norfolk and
Jamestown are no higher than they
are In Baltimore at the present time. -
You can get a good meal at any
number of places for fifty cents, and
for seventy-five cento you can get a
meal as good as you can buy in the
city of Baltimore for the same price.
The rates tor rooms at all ot the
hotels are normal, the service is good,
and there is absolutely no excuse tor
complaint I admit that there are
some places where they are inclined s
to overcharge, but it is not necessary
to visit those places with so many
other hotels right at hand. At a hotel
Inside of the grounds two persons can
get a room, breakfast and admission
to the grounds for $2.50 apiece. Fig
uring breakfast at fifty cents and ad
mission to the grounds at fifty cents
that leaves only $1.50 for the room
no more than you will pay anywhere.
I was at Chicago, St Louls.Buffalo
and Charleston, and the rates at
Jamestown and Norfolk are not as
high as they were at any of these
places. Baltimore News.
