Showing a regular increase of Tolls from year
to year The board is more fully borne out,
in coming to the conclusion. that the tolls will
be increased the ensuing year, from the addl-
tional fact, that we have now daily line OF
Mail Coaches, instead of a tri-weekly line,
and it is more than probable that we shall
have, in short time, an accommodation line,
to run through By daylight. Besides the E.
rection of an additional toll-gate, Immediately

ger crops of wheat have been sotn out since
the construction Of the Valley Turnpike road,
than were sown befUre in the Valley, and
more particularly last fall, all Of Of which must,
and will, have the effect of increasing the
Tolls on said road.
The board can not close this report without
stating the fact, that, while they have not
been enabled 10 effect all that would have
been most desirable to them, in placing the
prospects Of the company in still more ia
vorable light, yet they do say, that no compa-
ny in the State has, with more fidelity and
promptness, paid all its interest as it fell due,
also, all other contracts entered into during
the year, without solitary exception to the
contrary, as they believe.
All of which is most respectfully submitted
to the stockholders in general meeting..,

BALTIMORE, May 90, 1914.
SIR: At democratic national con-
venion of delegates from the several
States of this Union, convened on the
9th instant, and now in the city Of
Baltimore, for the purpose of nomina-
ting Candidates to be supported for the

hope which they confidently entertain
in common with their colleagues Of the

MR.. POLK ON THE TARIFF,

ANDMR. CLAY ON THE SAME SUBJECT.
We have been much amused by the
efforts Of the whig journals to make a
small Quantity Of political capital out
of what they are pleased to call Mr..
Folks hostility to the tariff. Selecting
as is the approved fashion among the
Bears and the Borers and their congo
ners, passage from one speech, care
fully Withholding all that explains or
qualities or vinditates it, and then adj
ding to it another equally curtaied of
its proportions, it requires an expendi-
ture rather of conscience than of inge-
nuity to make the opinions of states
man whatever, for the time, may be Ell
siest to combat or complain Of. Seem
inigly in anticipation of this convenient
mode Of warfare on the democratic cam
didate, a friend of his addressed him a
letter some weeks ago, inviting him to
give succinot expression of his views
on the policy protecting home indus
try. Mr.. Folks clear and simple re-
ply has been handed US for Publica-
ton.
That our readers may the more
readily compare the views of the two
presidential candidates upon the same
topic, we annex the latest expression
of those of Mr.. Clay. as promulgated
during his recent visit to North Carroll
ma, and now published under his i'm
mediate sanction. 1t will be seen that
both gentlemen propose to raise, by a
tariff on foreign imports, whatever
sum may be requisite for an economi-
cal administration of the government,
and 50 adjust the tariff for that purpose

The debts of the Company have been bonded
to the amount of ST. ,l67 81, the interest upon
which has been regularly paid on presentation
Of the coupons, the consequence has been that
the company bonds have assumed a more
respectable standing in market, and the board
is strongly of the opinion, that without some
unforeseen accident; the company will be able
to pay off all the bonds as they betome due,
provided, the concerns of the company are
managed as they should be. There are some
settlements and controversies along the line,
yet, to be adjusted, and should receive particular

and other than the State debt In less time.
That it is fair and reasonable, that the board
should arrive at conclusion OF this sort. Is
evident frnm the fact that the tolls received

clearing the bitches and culberts where neces
sary, to an extent that would keep the road in
fair condition, and with a view to the payment
of the debts of the Company in reasonable
period.
In making strict and rigid examination in
to the financial concerns Of the Company dur
ing the past year it has been ascertaned, they
were exceedingly deranged. much distrust ex
listing, confidence lost, suits instituted along
the whole line, judgments obtained to con-
siderable amount. the State loan exhausted,
but ten shares of stock remaining unsofd, with
debt of not less than $56, 469 and little else, to
meet that amount, than the ordinary receipt Of
Tolls
Under circumstances like these, the Board
determined to make no promises, but let their
acts speak for themselves; and the result has
been, that the Board have the pleasure to say,
that they are decidedly of the opinion that
there has been considerable restoration of con-
tidence in the company, which circumstance
has resulted principally, from much personal
attention, labor and anxiety on the part of the
President. The expenses of the year have
not only been increased by the circumstance
referred to, but by the rebuilding of the bridge
across the Shenandoah, and the great freshet
of last Misunderstanding Of the Gaping of the
road in many places, besides the injury many
of the small bridges received.
The Board think it proper here to state,
that the Valley Turnpike Company entered
ints contract with the Messrs Pennybaker's
on the 18th December, 1889, to construct six
miles of the Valley Turnpike road, and in
consideration of their having subscribed for
and taken 432 shares of the capital stock of the
said company, amounting to $lO.SO0. The

MIR. SHoLEs: Sir; From the nature oryour
business as editor and printer of the South
port Telegraph, | expect you can give the
information necessary for me to understand
the conversation | heard the Other day be-
tween two individuals concerning the DO
c ,edings of our trustees. | do not think il
necessary TO give the names of the two per.
sons, to elicit the information desire, there
fore will designate them by the familiar
names OF Tom and Jerry
Tom says to Jerry, ''did YOU take notice
of the statement of our trustees, published
in the last Telegraph, Of their receipts and
expenditures"
Jerry; Yes, and thibk il was very well
done, don't you,
Tom; You may think what YOU please,
but you must ALLOW me to think otherwise,
fer it is not right for them to create a deb,
against us witheQt any law to authorize Ihcm
to do 50.
Jerry; How can you say that Tom when
the law will aulhollze them TO do just what
they please, and they have only given scrip
for the $40 dOllais, which YOU know IS u,t
Ike the Illinois bonds. say Tom, YOU are
very wrong to ins nuatc any h ne against our
trustees. when they have done so much for
us with only scrip, aud it is not right to find
fault with them whep we selected them to
cstI5l sh our credit by king scrip.
Tom. | say they had 40 iaw 10 author
Izc them 10 make such scrip, thereby in-
teadng TO make debt against the corpu-
cation, 10 have authorised them to issue
such scrip, the law re9Vires that they

the money aud published it; to give the
people an oPportun ~ TO veto or amend
ihe ordinance it they should not like it.
Jerry. Now Tom. will not have this,
to; | will tell you 10 your face that our
trustees are FIRST rate men, tor they can
take up streets and sell am, make crooked
streets stIaigit, and move sand hills, and
make bridges and streets of the saud.
Tom. What are the bridges amd streets
good for when they are made Of sand!
terry. Why they arc first rate, if you
don't believe it Just so and look on Main
street, across the {: eek.
Tom. say Jerry, do not talk foolish,
for the bridge and street made of sand is
good for nothing, and VIC are taxed to pay
thc expense, and that without our consent.
Jerry. Now think you are more foolish
than am for You know that it was Necessary
to Strdit,n Main street, that our trustee and
merchants living in the North ward should
come strait over here TO do their business If
they hadn't Strditeacd main street they
would continue 10 do their business in the
north ward, and not come over here TO do
il, and you see we elected one of our trus-
tees again this year, because he knows he
knows bow 10 make Bridges of sand, and
20 put in assessors who will value all the
lots very high TO raise greet deal of
money in taxes topay all the expenses.
