The stOcihoI of the North Caro-
lima Railroad Meet at Greensboro
To-day.

The StOcLh oIders Of the North Caro-
lima Railroad Meet at Greensboro
To-day.
Vice President a. B. Andrews left in
his private Car yesterday for Greens
boro, where a meeting of the stock
holders of the North Carolina road is
called for to day.
Dr. V E Turner, States proxy for
the road, left for the same place. State
Treasurer Worth also went a'opg to the
meeting.
Twill the private stockholders meet
to surrender the tax exemptions" is the
question that people are asking just now.
For years the private stockholders have
not met with the representatives of the
State, and have in this way kept from
surrepdering the exemption from State
taxation that the road enjoys. When
the new lease was made to the Southern
at BnTliI g-on some weeks ago, it was the
general IDEA that an arrangement had at
last been made by which the private
stockholders would consent to the sur
render Of the exemption, rs, under the
terms of the new lease, the Southern is
TO pay the taxes for the ninety nine
years over which the lease extends.
But some people say that there was
no binding agreement on the part of the
private stockholders to surrender the
exemption, and that the meeting called
for to day will result as have the other
proposed meetings.
Some think the meeting today will
only be formality, and tie exemption
will be surrendered without any trouble,
but others say that the State authori-
ties have more stumpy ground to travel
over before they get the road on the tax
list.
