RFPORTS OF CORRESPOND ENTS NOT SO FAVORABLE The Night too Cool-Droulijrt Doing Sonic Daniager Tbe reports of correspondents of the w ekly weather crop bulletin, issued by the North Carolina atate weather service, fur the week ending last Sat urday, Aug 3, '895, are generally un favorable except from the eastern por tion of tbe state. The temperature has been below normal tbe entire week, tbe deiiciem-jr averaging from two le four degree; thedays have been warm but nights quite cool, at least retard ing growth if irot otherwise injuring crops. Tbe preo'pitation has been very deficient, especially in the west ern and central districts wbere tbe droughty conditions are beginning to prevail over large sections. The av erage rainfall for tbe week in tbe western district was only 0 10 inches; in tbe central about 0 25 and in tbe eastern nearly 1 00 Tbe east is not suffering for rain. The lacx of rain is at present affecting chit fly vegetables and smaller crops, but if continued much longer will lessen ths yield of corn. In tbe central district rain is be ginning to be needed in this district lso especially in the southern coun ties where crops are being damaged to ma extent. In the greater part of the distriot crops are not yet suffer ing, though they would be benefited by warm showers. Showeis occurred nly 30: h and on tbe nigbt of Ang. 3.

RAILWAY WAS ACQUIRED Tbe llUtory of tbe Lea,- to tbe Southern. Tbe etate owns a controlling inter est, $3 000.000 in stock, in tbe North Carolina railway and September 12. 1871. tbe road was leased to the Kichmoiid and Daavllle railroad com pany for thirty years, at $200,000 year. This lease therefore expires September 12, 1901. The Plttsbom Record says that there was much criticism of the lease at ths time it was made. Indeed It was such a sur prise to tbe public and some of the circumstances connected with it were so secret and suspicioua that a legis iative Investigation of the whole mat rer was mads. The state's directors were all republicans. The legislature at its first session after the leas ap pointed a committee to investigate all matters connscted with tbe lease and especially whether or not "any money or other consideration bad b-en paid to any person for the purpose of pro curing the lease." This committee made an investiga tion and reported fully, the report be. ng signed by John W. Graham, J. M. ATorth, J. A. Jilmer and B. B. With ers. This report says tbe least was made without any advertisement or public notics, and Indeed no notice had been given even to the directors of the particular object of the meeting which had been called for the purpose of making tbe lease. The whole mat ter appears to have been arranged by president William A. Smith, and th directors merely ratified his ac tion. The committee's report states all tbe witnesses examined deny any knowledge of a consideration, paid or understood or agreed to be paid, ex cept, Maj. Smith." The report sets forth in full the quett'oa propounded president Smith, whli h is in the fol lowing words: 'Do yon know of any sum of money or any other consideration whatever having been paid or promised to be paid to any person in this state or out of it for the purpose of procuring tbe lease of the North Carolina railroad r in any way connected with said lease?" This qaestion Maj. Smith declined to answer because, as he alleged, "tbe answer might criminate him or lead to information that would criminate him." The committee, commantinu on the refusal to answer, reported that "in this we believe lies the tbe true se cret of the lease." KNOCKED OUT. MAGISTRATES CANNOT AP POINT TAX COLLECTORS. Nor Can They, Intend of Commit- xioner. Elect Cotton Webber. Today tbe populist and republican aglstrates met in the eoort room and took steps to see whether they aould take the tax lists from tbe sheriff and turn them over to tbe constables in tbe various townships and thus make the latter tax collectors. There were 83 magistrates present. Quite a num ber of democratic magistrates were here but they they did not attend tbe meeting. Ex-judge Wbitsker, as tbe counsel of the fusion magistrates, was called on to give his opinion of their powers. He told them they had no right to meet now; that if they had met the first Monday in June they could have appointed the constables tax collectors, b.H yst even those ap pointmenta would have been worth less unless a quorum of all the magis trates, a quorum being 101, so voted, Attorney T. R. Purnell gave a written oginioa of tbe same tenor. So sheriff Page will collect taxes as usual. , The fusion magistrates wsntsd also to join with the county commission ers in the eleotion of cotton weighers, but the attorneys decided that under the act of the last legislature they Lad no right at all o meet with tbe com missioners. So the latter have tbe lole power to elect, as heretofore. Executive Appointments. Gov.
