The, witness told of Carnegie dictating the letter to j. P. Morgan & Company. "We took the original down to Mr. Morgan," said the wit 4 iiess, "and he seemed relieved." .When questir.ned as to whether Mr. Carnegie received an answer from J. P. Morgan, the witness smiled Teminiscently and with a wave of his hand said "I have a dim recollec (tion, but there was no doubt about its acceDtance because we paid a state call on Mr. Morgan." Mr. Reed explained that Mr. Car rnegie was tired of- "10 much commo tion." and decided to go to Europe. Before leaving he went to call On Mr Morgan. "I went" along as a body guard," continued the witness. "i wmcmber." said the witness, "that as we were leaving Mr. Carnegie said "Now, Pierpont, I am the happiest r.an in the world. I have unloaded thi burden on your back, and I am off to Europe to play. In answef to questions put .by Rich ard V. Lindabury the witness denied that in the course of the organization t;the corporation any mention was sriade of a monopoly.

As a result of being bitten by a rabid god, V. H. Sawyer, John Ireland and a Mr. Riggs, citizens of Bayboro, arc now in Raleigh receiving the Pas teur treatment. The animal which caused all the trouble was owned by Mr. Sawyer. During the latter part of last week the owner noticed that the dog was acting in a strange manner but did not think that there was anything wrong with him. Later in the day the dog bit him and also bit Mr. Ire land and Mr. Riggs. On the following day these gentle' men became alarmed and after killing the animal severed its head form the body and sent it to Raleigh to be examined for hydrophobia. Later a message was received form Raleigh stating that the animal was infected with the disease and advising them to take the treatment. It is thought that the "mad" dog bit several other canines in the town before he was killed and these aic being watched with the greatest cate for possible symptoms of hydrophobia John W.
