The Ticket Brokerage Case.

hibiting the sale of railroad tickets
came up in the Supreme Court yes
terday. Mr.. Busbee representing
the prosecution stated the purpose
of the railroads entering Raleigh to
enforce :. vigorous enforcement
of the act, as upon its maintenance
was involved the continuance oflow
rates to the Exposition and all ex-
cnrsion sales. He stated that he
was convinced Mr.. wilkins did
not intend to;set the law at defiance,
but had been ignorantly led into
error. Mr.. Wilkins stated that he
had applied for a license, had come
prepared to pay all taxes required
and did not know the full extent OF
the recent act. Judge Whitaker
imposed a nominal fine and dismiss.

''~~O~>~~~S~~'
While | am an advocate and be-
lever in the Sub-Treasury plan,
and do not believe there has vet
been, nor likely to be anything bet
ter proposed, the opponents of the
measure fail to suggest even a sub
stitute.
1t has occurred to me that the ad-
vocates of credit basis issue might
take to such system better than
aceahh basis.
Therefore suggest for what it is
worth, the following:
Should Congress pass an act to
loan on State bonds, say an amount
not to exceed one fourth the taxable
value OF the property (real and per-
sonal in each State, at one per cent.
interest or less, the States to loan
in turn to its citizens at three or
tptr per cent, it would give suffi-
cient volume Of currency, direct to
the people, without the intervention
Of any speculative manipulators and
the profits arising therefrom would
go a long way towards abolishine
State taxation.
There is much that might be said
for this system against the presen,
onerous one, but enough for thu
present.

WILSON, n. c., Oct. B. What
is the trouble about rates to the
Exposition? The roads advertise
rate of one cent per mile each way.
They charge more. For instance.
the distance from Wilson to Raleigh
is "a miles. AT one cent per mile,
and the so cents for admission to
the Exposition, this would amount
to $l.5S. You have to pay $3.50
for a ticket here. How about it?
Yesterday the buyers here paid

The Old Settlers Of the North to Have
Royal Meeting at Raleigh.
There is to be held at the city of
Raleigh, on October 2lst, conven-
tion Of the northern, eastern and
western settlers, in the State of
North Carolina, together with all
others who have immigrated to the
South. 1t, is very desirable these
settlers shall be united in their pur-
pose Of promoting the progress and
development Of the country. To
this end a preliminary convention
was held in May, to appoint a time
for convention in the fall. All
Northern men who have settled in
North Carolina or any other South
ern State, are cordially invited to be
present at this meeting.
A report has gone out that the
Northern Settlers convention is to
convene on October 5th. 1t has
been necessary to change the date
in order to accommodate as large a
number as possible. Many settlers
can't attend on an earlier day, be-
cause of the harvesting of crops.
! The time for the convention is
1 therefore changed from the 5th to
the 2lst of October, 1891, and will
take place in the Exposition build
