7 1 ME! k3 SUBSCRIPTION $1.00 YEAS. WILSON, N. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1911. VOL. 17. VLQr 138 HE A. i GOV. WILSON IMEIGH ADDRESS IN AFTERNOON ON RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO GOVERN-AT NIGHT TALKS t)F STONEWALL JACKSON Governor Wilson was given a splendid Teception at the State capital yesterday In the afternoon he addressed the people on the Capitol Square, using as a subject "The right of tho Peo ple to Govern." At the Capital Club last night he was accorded a reception, and pre sented a portrait of Stonewall Jack son. " The unveiling of the portrait of Gen. Stonewall Jackson took place in the ball room. Governor Wilson was presented by Dr. Hubert A. Royster, who declared that for the fifteenth time since coming to North Carolina, Governor Wilson had been introduced until his prayers would probably be "from my traducers and"introducers, good Lord deliver us." He was pre sented as a college professor, a real statesman and "the next president of the United 'States." This brought long and continued applause. Governor Wilson said he certainly would be unfeeling if he did not ap preciate the remarks of his intro ducer. He declared he could not have better chosen if he himself had chosen his traducers. "I have just the enemies I prefer to have," he said, "1'xe made all the speeches 1 know." ' (Applause.) "I will just in a few words put what we know of Stonewall Jackson. Two years ago, he said, he resorted to a book which in giving a list " of wwld characters said of General R. E. Lee: "A distinguished American general- in the Confederate service' This was well put, he said. One of the marvels of the age is that after a heated contest two men have emerged to have the admiration of mankind. There is no parallel in the history of the world of the estimate in which Lee and Jackson are held by those who know them. He thought General Jackson possessed more sin gular characteristics than General Lee. There was a generality about Lee which inspired confidence " at nee, while Jackson was of a Puri-' tanic disposition, possessed, rigid regu larity, was' not what the world calls a "good fellow"; he was not , com panionable,, was a little withdrawn from the world, with a touch of stern ness. General Lee had a touch of sternness only in battle, and this is illustrated by an incident which Gov ernor Wilson told to fine effect Lee had given a boy an order to carry, and the boy, after going some distance and finding conditions different from what General Lee had thought, re turned to tell him of the circum stances. Lee rebuked the boy for re turning, sent Mm to the background and called for some one to carry the message. This, said Governor .Wilson, shows that it's nobody's business who carries order to bring back informa tion before carrying out the command. It is the character of Jackson which men admire most; the fidelity to the Christian religion. He said he didn't see how any one can do any thing who does not depend upon tho Lord Jesus Christ, This man was a militant soldier of -the. feross; nowhere tais side of the crusaders can we get a, complete counterpart. He was a matt 'of a most resourceful mind. When Col. Henderson, who was a sol dier under Jackson, was chosen by the English government to go; to South. Africa, a high tribute was paid to Jackson, for the government felt that the strategy practlcedby Jackson was exactly suited to the situation In Africa. So the genius ; of the , man EPes oa translating into new- actions I!

With his wife and other mem- bers of the Diaz family, he boarded the steamer Ypiraga, bound for Spain. To his country Gen. Diaz delivered a warning. Speaking to the little group of soldiers, who had served as a guard on his trip from the capital, the old man who governed Mexico for more than thirty years by military strength, declared that the present government must yet' resort to his methods if peace is to be re-established in Mexico. "I am grateful to the army," said the ex-President, "that I could count on it to the last moment of leaving Mexican territory... It is the only real defense the country has, and to re establish peace in this republic, its services will have to be called upon in this crisis." - . Tears were slowly rolling down the old man's-face now, and his voice was broken. But he continued, assuring his hear ers that should his country at any time become involved in trouble he would be willing to return. Pointing . to the colors of Mexico, the General added: "I would then place, myself at the head of the coun try's loyal forces and, under the shadow of that flag, I would know how to conquer as in times past."

The troops went directly to the cars of a special train on which they began their journey to the capi tal. Durham and Winston Secure Lower Rates. The North Carolina Corporation Commission has won its suit for lower freight rates' from Cincinnati to Winston-Salem and Durham, and from Roanoke and Lynchburg to Winston Salem and Durham. - The Commission has received a let ter from Honl Martin A. Knapp, Chief Justice of the Commerce Court, ad visiting them that his court has de nied the petition of the several rail roads for a temporary injunction against the Interstate" Commerce Com mission restraining that Commission from making the roads obey an order giving the North Carolina towns low er rates on all classes of goods. The order "will become effective June 15th and from that time on Winston Salem and Durham will enjoy a reduc tion of from 10 to 15 per cent on goods shipped. , - "What is of more interest to the general public jthan this decision, however, is the probability of the lower rates applying to other points in the State. Congress has passed an act prohibiting a railroad from charg ing more for a short haul than for a long haul, and all points in North Carolina between Winston-Salem and Durham and the Virginia cities will enjoy the same rate as these cities unless the Interstate Corporation Com mission rules otherwise. Eventually all other points in the 'State will get the same rates, it Is believed, the railroads opposing these reductions with all their power. Attorney-General T. W. Bickett represented the North Carolina Cor poration Commission and members ot the Commission made trips to Wash ington in the interest of the State. The roads " affected are the Nor folk & -Western, Southern, Seaboard, and Louisville & Nashville. The case has been pending since last June and has been pushed by the Corporation Commission - and Attor ney-General Bickett. ; J ASE ALL Washington, June 1.

C, June 1. The 'Su preme Court of North Carolina ad journed yesterday for its summer va cation. It will convene again on the last Monday in August. The im portant case of Westfelt vs. Adams, involving nearly a million dollars, was not decided, but an advisari wa3 taken. - . The town of Goldsboro wins its suit against the Atlantic Coast Line Rail way. The Board of ' Aldermen of Goldsboro had Center street paved at the expense of the town and also enacted ordinances that the railroad should "move its tracks on that street so as to be level with the street and not in terfere by , reason of their height above the street with public traffic. The railroad refused to comply with the ordinances and sued out an in junction. A permanent injunction was refused and the railroad appealed. The case is very important as it de cides to some extent the relation the railroads occupy towards the people and their responsibility to the peo ple. - The opinion for the Supreme Court is written by Chief Justice Walter Clark. He states: "The plaintiff took Its charter expecting that towns and cities would grow up along the line of its road and knowing that with the development of the country, new roads, and In the cities and towns that new streets would be laid out across its right of way. And it took its charter knowing too that the State would have the right, to lay out such roads and new streets and. to require the railroad to" make such alterations as would prevent the passage' over its tracks by the public being impeded."
