The EVers-Watson LandlLitlgatlon.
Mr.. Thomas Watson, of Chicago,
and James r. Yerger, of Jackson, ar
rived in the city yesterday. Mr.. Wat
son is Chicago capitalist and owner
of Indiana coal mines, and was a part
ner Of Mr.. EveTs in the purchase of
large blocks Of Mississippi lands sew
eral years since, amounting to about
FIVE hundred thousand acres, at an out
lay of something over two hundred
thousand dollars. The object of these
gentlemen was to secure these lands
and sell them to an Englis syndicate on
a speculation. A G. H. reporter met
Mr.. Watson at the Washington Hotel,
when that gentleman explained that
he and his lawyer, Mr.. Yerger, were en-
route for Bolivar county, for the pur-
pose of paying taxes on the lands be
longing to this purchase which lay in
that county.
"YOu and Mr.. Evers have had some
trouble between yourselves, l learn.
Will you please explain it to me 2"
said the reporter.
"Evers and myself made the pur-
chase Of this land. l put up the money
for the purchase and went to Europe
to organize an English syndicate, and
Evers had the deeds to the property
made out in his own name.
When l returned from Europe
l found that he was associated
with the firm of Phelps, Marshall &
Co., of Chicago, and they claimed the
lands which had paid for. They had
not even paid the taxes. which had
accumulated to the amount of $35 1000.
paid this and demanded of Mr.. Evers
an adjustment of the matter and what
was right. The result was law suit
and extended litigation. have but
recently by decree of Judge Hill, in
the United States court, been awarded
100000, and the Delta lands ordered
sold to pay the same. The sale was
to have taken place on the llth of
February, but was postponed until the
18th of March. | will have to pay
$4,000 taxes this year before the sale
takes place. My sons are interested
in this deal with me. My decree calls
for 100000 acres of land in the Delta
country. There are 100000 acres of
this land in Pike, Jackson and Harrison
counties, but that does not come under
my decree. l will probably buy the
land in at the sale. l have heard that
Evers was trying to form an English
syndicate for the purpose of trying to
purchase the land, but 1 knew nothing
of it. When l returned from Europe
and demanded my rights of Phelps,
Marahall & Co., they offered to give
me 250,000 acres of such land as
might select, but promise was all l
got. l would like TO get control of
this land and place it within the reach
of honest labor. That is my object.

Economfzing ON Pensions

Washington, July 20-Mr. Strait has
discovered peculiar condition OF affairs
existing at the pension office here,
which seems to indicate that there is
a settled purpose on the part of the ad-
minstration of that Office to pay out to
the soldier element as little money in
pensions as possible. Some time ago
the local examining board of Minnesota
recommended that 9. A. Baker of
Brownton receive pension of 81 per
month. Without any additional ex-
animation of the case the pension bureau
fixed the amount OF So per month.
Upon Receiving this this information Mr..
Strait made an examination of the
pensions granted to persons in his
district, and found that in about eight
cases out of ten the oiioe mere mas
ignored the recommendation OF the local
board, and fixed the pension Il, ahant
one-third to one-Lalf what the soldier
was entitled to. This thing is practiced
continually.

Since the penltentiary Was/estap-

to give the labor Of these conVlcts
to railroad companies for, the con
struction of railroads and thus much
of the railroad grading done III the
State during the past fifteen years
has been done. That this has bene-
fitted the State in aiding in the CON
struction of new roads, and the de-
yelopment Of her resources we VIII
not deny, but we believe that the
State and the people will be more
benefited in the future by a good
country road system than by an
increase in the number of railroads,
and the railroads now in operation
and those to be built will be benNe-
fitted too by increased production
on the farms and increased freight.
Years ago perhaps the building OF
railroads in this State was dependent
upon the employment Of convict
labor, but this is no longer So, for in
these days Of railroad enterprise
and competition, when capital is
seeking Investment railroads will
be built where they will pay. The
railroad systems OF the country are
rapidly passing into the hands OF
syndicates with ample means to
build such roads as their necessities
demand and Judgment approves.
The policy Of the State and the
counties should now be good country
roads, continuous from county 10
county, connecting the remote coun-
ties with the nearest railroad centres
and best markets. If a system Of
this kind be adopted and persistently
carried out with the number Of con-
victs that IAN be thus employed it
will not be many years before North
Carolina will have roads to compare
with those Of any State, and worth
millions to her people.
