' ' o Special Correspondence ,C Raleigh, N.C, December 20. Gov ernor Glenn returned today ' from Washington and talked very interest-(his ingly about the very important .ran-1 way- rate matter' which is now the I greatest one before not only the North I Carolina public, but before that in I many : States and also the railways themselves, ;' He said that Jthe terms heretofore published in the newspa pers setting out the condition as to the Tate matter between the State and the railways have been agreed to by th Southern, Seaboard Air Line,. Nor folk and Southern and Carolina and Northwestern, the only one not agree- Ing being the Atlantic Coast Line. The agreement is subject io two condi- tlonsi first the acceptance of the terms by the other Southern States namely Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala- fcama and Tennessee, which are tra- .versed bV these roads. ' It" seems to be understood South Carolitta, Ala- bama and Georgia hav$ already agreed at least the governor is so informed and Virginia is now considering the proposition. The second point in the 1 Connellsville mine proceeds under dlt matter is the approval-by the legis flculty. The danger -of further explo lature of the terms, that is the 21-2 cent rate per mile everywhere, and 2 cent mileage books, except those for family use, 600 miles' at 21-4 cents. The Governor say 8 that if the legisla ture is convened , in special session - it will be some time between the 6th an dtha 15th of January- - No limit ireport of the commission sent to the ifixed or prescribed as to when he can I Philippines to ascertain the number call it together, that is there Is no0f islands in the.

'A"'f ':" " I The governor says he believes this I agreement is more beneficial to the I State than the present flat rate of I 21-4 cents and that he also believes I it is best for the railways for all mat-1 iers will be amicably settled and thecur unless the troops can disperse the railways will be In better condition I in trat tiAaitoit tnnnAV and earrv oal their improvements, -while the rela tions between the road and the peo ple will be more friendly than be fore. ' The agreement is in no way to interfere with definite settlement x ot ail legal- points ueiween me rouus and the State. lature was held in tee summer of 187 and it made the sale to the Southern Railway of the Western Nortfi Carolina! Railway. At that time the Southern was known as the Richmond and Danville. The money ecelved was used by the State for general pur poses sad there was' no tax Imposed for State purposes that year. The extra session was quite con ndently predicted by your correspond ent a few days ago. Some weeks ago It seemed certain, tben the chance of It grew remote, but more recently It seemed like a sure thing. It has been remarked that the Atlanttc Coast Line fill simply have to fall In llneywlth the other roads In this matter. A man connected with another road said to day that ths Atlantic Coast, Line would have to tumble. The prohibition-dispensary fight A wa erowa warmer dally. The gov ernor and auditor are hard at work speaking. The auditor was not very X . well last night and had to cancel one engagement to speak. Alderman Sher wood Upchurch was questioned today as to his opinion of the voje and said It would be very close and that be did not think either side would win by more than CO or 75 majority, The sheriff of this county says that the farmers tell him they cannot un derstand, the. cotton situation; that Is why cotton does not sell at higher prices when everybody Knows mere is so short a crop. Today tho Raleigh cotton mills shut down for a week. They have been running on full time thus far.

A fierce fire followed the explosion of the' arms factory which occurred yes terday afternoon. Many were killed The flr9 tB gUn i progress; Divorce on the Increase. New York, Dec. 20-On Monday and of next week 8upreme Court Justice Newburger expects to clear the calen dar of 161 undefended divorce cases, and deliver that many Christmas pack ages, from A to Z. Yesterday he warned those who are not ready for trial on those days that they will have to wait for a bearing until March. Never In the history of the Supremo Court has such a complication arisen that causes the designation of two special days for the trial of matrimo nial actions. It is the opinion ofmany lawyers that divorce litigation is In creasing at such a rate that some change In the system Is necessary, Besides the cases tried In Special Term, Part IIL. there are many de fended divorce actions tried In the various Special Terms. In Addition to this large number ot cases are tried In Trial Term, Part II., by Juries on framed Issues. Many cases also are tried each year before referees which never come to public notice by reason of the sealing ot the papers and the secrecy surrounding them. How Santa Class Letters are Answer ed.

Oppor taaHlet Offered by It-The Cobvob lent Schedales to Operation.: . The line of the Norfolk and South ern Railway from Raleigh, the Norfolk via Wilson, Greenville and' Washing ton; was opened to traffic during the month of October. One can hardly overestimate the importance of thu announcement, ':: -1 T--; ' " It puts all of Eastern North Cara- llna north of New Bern and east of Rocky Mount from 200 to.400 miles nearer Raleigh not in actual distance (that being only one hundred, miles.) but in the amount -of travelling ana the time consumed in making the trl from' the various points. This means that Western - North Carolina is brought that much closer to our truck gardens, corn-fields, fisheries, timber forests and towns. New Bern and all points : in Eastern North Carolina south of Washington and east of Golds boro are brought from 100 to 200 miles nearer Norfolk and New York thoiigh the actual distance from here to Washington, N, C, is less than for ty miles. : ' ' A Saving oj Time . All this means a saving of time to the busy man, prompter transporta tion of goods from Northern cities and. what to this section Is still more important, quicker placing of truck on the Northern markets and the conse quent sales of this truck at the high est prices. It means dollars In the pockets of all the people doing business-over the Norfolk and Southern, and insures the development of a vast territory rich in soil and other nar tural resources that has heretofore been retardedby the lack ot trans portation facilities. ' " ' ' . A Veritable InA of Opportunity There is no section of the South that has so many elements of wealth so many possibilities as Eastern North Carolina. Indeed, there are few parts of the country so .well endowed for material prosperity along all ' lines. As yet. it has not the great industrial nterprlses, possessed by Borne other sections But In this line of activity there Is a steady and healthy growth that indicates not only vast possibili ties, but a readiness to go about de veloping these possibilities Into reali ties. It has long been realized that the great need of Eastern North Car olina was transportation. WW the construction of new lines by the Nor folk and Southern thlaLneed has been In great degree supplied. Following this la bound to come an Industrial awakening such as was not dreamed of for this section a few years ago, by even the most sanguine. , 7 Baw Material The aSuandance and excellence of raw material supplied by onr forests hold out special Inducements for wood working plants of all sorts, Including furniture making, wagon factories, ve neering plants, barrel and stave fac tories, etc . The textile producing in dustries already in operation prove this section admirably adapted In ev ery way to that line ot manufactur ing, "-All cotton and knitting mills have been enlarged within the past two years, and new ones have been built or are about to be built Golds- boro, Raleigh, and Zebulon have new knitting mills, and Wilson, is organ- Itlne one Kinston has organised a new cotton mill and plans are well un der, way for a mill at Rlchlands, Greenville Is planning for one also, with the possibility of a mill at Snow Hill as soon as the railroad now build ing to that progressive town Is. com pleted. Washington, also is talking ot one and part of the capital stock has been subscribed. - , - Tobacco rectories Being jne ot th finest bright to bacco sections in the world. Eastern North Carolina ought to v more tobacco factories It nearness to raw material, favorable climate and cheap labor are to count for anything In the location Of such enterprises. . By the same mark, canning factories- both for Vegetables and products ot ' the sea ought to flourish hero: as also ought the making ot brick, tile, artifi cial stone and a number of other en terprises, that 'could be named and tor which this section has special advan tages. . . ; .. Xarked Development Probably the most marked levelop mnt of the next few years will be In O't'lcnltnre. The farmer I C "y ! ! more attractive and tilling the'jioil more profitable. ' Two and three crops a season Are being ' made to grow where heretofore only one grew, and by intelligent managemett the land is all the time being improved and made to produce more and mora with each succeeding harvest Improved breeds of eattle are being bought and con siderable advancement Is being made in dairying, particularly to the vicinity of the town sand cities. The lands of this section being well adapted to. corn and hay, and the climate Ideal for grazing cattle In the opea, there is no reason why cattle raisiig and sheep husbandry 'should not flourish. " ' With modern cultural methqgs, more diversification of Industries and an In coming of de'sirable laimlgration there must quickly disappear the contrasts now existing between the low price of farm lands and the exceeding rich ness of the soil.' !';'t ' ij .' Track Growirs ;' The growers of truck now have transportation facilities' such as they never before enjoyed; tliey have a Boil that cannot be excelled anywhere and a climate that is well-night ideal a winter temperature averaging in the 50's, with a well distributed rainfall of about 60 inches annually. There are points in this section, and even north of here, where strawberries can be grown and marks ed earlier than at Chadbourri, N. C. 6r Mount Olive, N. C They can begla shipping pota toes; almost as early as Charleston, S. C, and cabbage two, or three weeks ahead of Norfolk,.. Onions - can ' be grown as successfully .here (experts who have made a stidy of their cul-1 lure say as in me umous onion Den of Texas. For this product there Is an unllminbed deman. The yield In Texas is 400 bushel! per" acre, and the onions sell for frpk $1-25 to $1.60 per, bushel , Sweetc wtatoes are na tives of this section tnd are ready to market thirty or forty days earlier than they are; in the famous sweet potato belt of the Eastern Shore" of Virginia, where thousands of cars are shipped annually, and when krown under, the I new mode of planting and cultivation I it is claimed will j'leld a profit of I $500.00 per acre.
