Y., Feb. 23. William Sulzer loJay instituted legal proceed ings before-Justice Aid en Chester, of the Supreme Court, with the purpose of regaining the Governorship from which he was removed last October. An order was issued by the j court commanding Comptroller Zohmer to appear and show cause why a writ of mandamus, compelling him to pay the former Governor his full salary ;as the occupant of that office, should not be iss-tied. Mr. Sulzer previously ; had made a written demand on Mrj Zoh mer for his salary. When A'torney General Carmody notified Justice Chester that he jwould oppose the granting of the writ, the court said he intended to refuse it as ;. matter of lav, holding that the court of impeachment had passed on the coientkns of Mr. Sulzer. j An agreement then was made be tw n the aitorney general anj Col- nn(.i Alexander S.

The day -lecture will be with the physicians as an organized society. The evening lecture will be in the Chamber of Commerce, to which the public in general, both men and wo men, are cordially invited and urged to attend. The i lectin er in question is Dr. H L,.! Wright, and the following letter sent to every physician in the county including one to the Argus, explains the object of the visit and under what auspices he comes: Dear Doctor: One of the objects and purposes of the Southern Medical Association is to stimulate an interest among physicians and the public in health problems that affect the South, and to aid the county medical socie ties in building up and increasing in terest ? in their organization. With this end in view we have re cently been most fortunate in securing the services of Dr. H. L.. Wright, who until recently has been in the employ of the Alabama State Board of Health. Dr. Wright is originally from Okla- homaj practicing there for some years. He is one of the first graduates of Tulane with the degree of "Doctor of Public Heclth" and he is also a Chau tauqua lecturer of considerable repu tation. ! Dr. Wright will be in Goldsboro.

If you have some doctors who have not joined the society, who would be desirable, get them out to the doctor's meeting and 1 am sure he will convince them that their place is with organized medicine. Tell him about these things. He is with you to help you in any way that he can. I hope you will co-operate with the j other physicians in making these meetings of great benefit to your so ciety and the commanity. If electric current is available Dr. Wright can -use ! his ctereopticon at the public meeting and thereby make his address more interesting. Dr. Wright is a thorough gentleman, and I will aptxeciate any kindness or 'courtesy that you may snow mm while with you. i Very truly yours, SEAUB HARRIS, Secretary. THE GOLDSBQBO FLORAL GO.

Memi:c;'s o- the Senate and House Inter-State Commerce committees today were busy W'ith tentative drafts of the pro posed inter-State ;trade ..commission bill, but no conclusions were an nounced. The House sub-committee, headed by Representative Covington, of Mary land,' is wrestling with the problem o limiting to "big" business the jurisdic tion of the proposed commission. Hie tentative section to cover this poin says: "That all corporations, joint stock ompanies and corporate combimumn engaged in commerce among the sev eral States or with foreign nations, ex cept corporations, joint stock compa nies -and corporate combinations, sub . ect to the inter-State commerce:- act and its amendment, having annua! gross receipts of $3,000,000 -or more, or having annual gross receipts of less than $3,000,000, but belonging, to such classes of corporations, stock oo:ii:a nies, and corporate combinations- a-. che commission may in its discretion determine, shall furnish to the com mission annually such information, statements and records ot their or ganization, bondholders and stock holders, business practices and rela tions to other corporations, joint stock companies and corporate co-mblnaiivjnF as the emmission shall require." Views of the President, who has in dicated that the trade commission bil1 is first in importance among the pro posed measures, are expected to pre vail in the bill when the sub-committee reports it. It is proposed to have only big business subject of the juris diction, of the trade commission bin how a limit shall be fixed remains. an open question. The President has suggested the dif ficulty of framing a limitation in terms of dollars and that it might be im practicable to exempt all concerns un der $5,000,000 capitalization from the commission inquisitorial powers.
