private stockholders and the en-
tire State stock in meeting assem-
bled have committed themselves
unreservedly and gladly to this
lease. This is a plain, positive
statement of the practical business
aspect of the case, which every
body knows to be true. Why
should all this be swept aside in
order that a dozen or so political
affiliators, of either party, who
perhaps may be neither stock
holders nor tax payers, should have
"place"!
But, within the last few days,
a new phase has been precipitated
upon this matter, that is IS unfair
and reprehensiDle as the political
complexion with which it has been
sought to paint it. Down in
Newbern, that gives (by ccmpari
SOM little of freight or pas
senger patronage to the road,
by reason of that town S
cheaper steamer transportation
facilities, which are competitors
of the road, an effort has been
inaugurated by certain individ-
uals who desire to defeat the
lease to infuse sectional feeling
into this matter town against
town-Newbern against Colds
boro: and yet Newbern has all
the shops, main offices. etc. of
the road and reaps the benefit of
their pay rolls and the constant
employment they afford to that
community. To arouse and sus
tain an adverse sentiment
against this lease which tEey ap
pose, these aforesaid individuals
are circulating that the "shops"
and Offices will all be moved to
Goldsboro How purile is this
fimsy falsehood. The shops
and offices at Newbern belong
to the A. & N. G. r. r. Com
pany, and could no more be
moved by the leasing syndicate
than could the road bed itself.
And the main mover of this new
dodge has himself been an "anx
ious seeker" to get possession
OF the road by lease or otherwise
for years. Wonder if he has ever
read the fable of the dog in the
manger?
But none Of these things are
german to the consideration of
this matter by the Court, or even
permissible evidence before that
tribunal. The question goes off
there entirely On the point of the
charter right of the A & n G.
r. R. Company to farm out their
road for a term of years at a

false and believes it a willful mis-
representation. The fact is, that
the syndicate is composed of sub
stantial and successful business
men and patrons of the road. Its
authorized capital is $500, 900, 90,
With sufficient capital paid up in the
hands of the Treasurer for the
guarantee fund, required under
the lease. and double this amount
would easily be taken when of
fered for improvements and better
ment, as may be required as the
traffic will justify; furthermore,
that this syndicate is very able and
willing to give any guarantee re
quired of them for the faithful
performance of their contract.
In answer to the charge that
the Syndicate would remove the
shops, general offices, and every
thing else that could be moved, to
Goldsboro: it looks rather ridicu-
lous, especially in the face of the
statement made by the Chronicle,
that the syndicate had no money
and was really ''a paper syndicate
and nothing but wind. "Why should
he fear the removal of the shops
which would involve the expendi-
lures of thousands of dollars, un-
less be fears that the sswind'' con-
tanned in the syndicate might blow
them to Goldsboro? Yet, taking
it from more rational standpoint,
suppose the syndicate had all the
money they wanted; [ repeat that
they do not pose as philanthropy
lists and would scarcely go to the
expense of removing shops when
they already have them without
going to the enormous expense of
building new ones.
The other charges and state
ments made by the Chronicle are
all SO frivolous, that they require
no reply, nor serious considera-
ton.
l would say, in conclusion, that
l do not believe that the stoc k
holders of the A. & N. G. r. r.,
nor the business men Of Newbern,
share the anxiety and jealousies
indicated in the article of the
Chronicle, and the writer would as
sure the good people of Newbern
that none exists in Goldsboro, but,
should the lease be brought to a
successful issue, hopes that both
cities will join hands for their COM
mofiwelfare and the upbuilding not
only of Goldsboro and Newborn,
but of the whole section traYersed

Guthrie and His Party's Ma
chine.

| Kings Weekly, of Greenville,
thinks that 81, Guthrie's letter,
published on the eve of the cleo
tion, was part Of "a precon-
certed plan" to beat Mr.. Watso q
and turn the State over to the
Republicans. Seeing" it says,
that Watson would be elected
he did what he could against it.
And he succeeded admirably, .
We haven't a doubt that the
Guthrie letter elected Russell. 1t
angered the Populist machine
and turned its influence to Rus
sell. The Caucasian, the Pro-
gressive Farmer and the Wins
ton Republican at once came out
in extra editions. attacking
Guthrie, discrediting him as a
Popuist, and either directly or
inferentially advising Populists
to support Russell. A sufficient
number Of them acted upon this
advice to give the State to the
Republicans; but We cannot be
brought to believe that Gutbrie's
letter was intended to effect the
result it did Or that it meant a
thing that did not appear upon
its face. His character as a
straightforward, candid man
forbids this belief. The fact is
that heis too good a man for the
company he keeps. His party S
machine was against him
throughout his campaign, and it
is woe unto the man in that party
who undertakes to stand up
against it. Much has been said
in the past of the Ransom ma
chine and of it's dominance of
North Carolina politics. We
never saw it, nor ever saw any
evidence of its existence. But
granting the worst that was ever
said of it to be true, and still the
fact remains that for brutality,
for cold-blooded remorseless-
ness, there is no parallel in his
tory for this Populist machine
here in North Carolina Or for the
subserviency of those who own
allegiance to it. Maj. Guthrie,
SO far from haying stood in with
it, SO far from having been a
party to any ''pteconcerted plan"
Of its, defied and contemned it, in
consequence of which he was
made its deliberate victim.
Our contemporary says it has
s.no confidence in any of the
crowd who boss the Populists,
and believes that cash was an inn
portant factor in shaping their
course" Our contemporary has
just as much confidence as we
have in the crowd in qestion, but
it must be borne in mind that
Maj. Guthrie is not of those who
belong to it. AS to the part that
Republican cash played in the
Populist campaign, we perhaps
haye an opinion on that subject.
too; but Maj. Guthrie is the SUBJ
ject of this article, the sole OBJ
ject of which is to express the
firm conviction that our valued
friend of King's Weekly, how>
ever correct he may be as to his
other propositions, does this
gentleman an injustice in tEe
suggestion that he has been
guilty of anything shady.-Char

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies, Deaf
ness is caused by an infiamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachi an
Tube. When this tube is infiamed you
have rumbling sound or Imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out aud
this tube restored to its normal con.
dition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which IS nothing but an

THE A. & N. C. LEASE.
Mr.. Henry We'll Replies to the
Newbern Chronicle and Places
the Question Fairly Before
the Public as a Business
Transaction That Should
Commend Itself to General
Favor.

With much amazement I read
the article in the Newbern Chron-
icle of the 26th inst, regarding
the proposed lease of the A &
N. G. r. r. The editor Gf it be
he, which is questionable, as other
earmarks are diseernable) starts
around in most vigorous fash
ion attacking all hands: first,
what he calls the "Goldsboro Syn
dieate, ''the present and futureState
administration, and the politicians
in general, and puts himself up as
the guardian of both the State and
private stockholders. 1t is most
strange that the administration as
well as the directors and stock
holders should not have asked his
opinion and consent before taking
this most important step of leas-
ing the road.
The Chronicle makes the Wild
est kind of statements, none of
which are based on facts, and from
these false premises its logic is
deducted, undoubtedly for the sole
purpose to prejudice the public
mind, yet the arguments used are
SO fimsy that no one can easily be
deceived by them.
In the first place, he tries to
make it appear as though the only
purpose of the proposed lease is to
deprive the incoming administra-
ton of the patronage of the road,
and solely political move.
In the second place, he makes the
deliberate statement that the leas-
ing syndicate owns not a dollar of
capital and not one dollar of prop
erty, and that it exists only on
paper, being merely a figure of
lspeech, sonly Wind.
3. It charges, that this Colds
boro Syndicate is not expected to
Ileaye anything in Newbern that
could be taken to Goldsbore; and
in consequence thc shops of the
company, the Offices and general
headquarters would be moved to
lGoldsboro and, that thereby New
lbern would lose thousands of dol
lars.
4. That the road should be
LEASED to some trunk line.
Were it not for the fact that

without a reply these false and vic
ious statements made by the
Chronicle might be believed by
the public l should leave them un-
challenged, yet in justice to the
gentlemen composing the Colds
boro and Morehead City Railway
Company. and others interested, ]
deem it my duty to answer these
charges, and will do so in their
regular order.
1t is we'll known that the pol
icy of this administration has been
all along to lease out the railroads
IN which the State has large in
terests, as past experiences showed
that they would not only bring a
better revenue to the stockholders
while leased than when run under
State control, but that the roads
at the expiration of the lease
would be enhanced in value. Ehis as
a matter of fact cannot be contro-
verted. This administration be-
gan with leasing the N. C. Rail
road. At the time that lease was
made it tried to induce the South
ern to include the A. & N. G..
road in their lease but failed, as
the Southern would haye rather
broken up the lease of the N. G.
Road than to be incumbered with
this road. The Norfolk &
Southern was asked to lease the
road, but peremptorily refused.
The Wilmington, Newbern &
Norfolk Railroad was solicited to
make an offer for the road, but
they either would not consider it
or made such ridiculously low
offer that it was not even consid-
cred. The Atlantic Coast Line
was in turn negotiated with, and
yet this also failed. Mr.. Jas. A.
Bryan, of Newbern, representing
a capitalist from England, went
over the Road and also inspected
the books of the company with a
view to lease, yet this also fell
through for reasons best known to
that gentleman.
Being we'll known that the road
would be leased, and probably to
some parties hostile to the inter
ests of the merchants and ship
pers of the section through which it
passes the Goldsboro Syndicate
came together for the purpose of
considering the leasing Of the
road, both for self-protection and
for the purpose of developing the
pEoperty:and while the rental they
agreed to pay is large, and over
100 per cent. greater than the av
erage earnings have been for the
past s years, (the only period divi-
dends ever were paid on the stock
since the road has been built,
an average of | per cent. annually,
while this lease provides for an
average rental of 24 per cent. on
the stock, the interest on the
funded debt, amounting to SO, 500
annually, all taxes on the prop
erty, and the organization and ex-
penses of the A e N. G. r. r. !.
which ] learn was the best
made. 1t is well to state here,
that the Goldsboro & More
head City Railroad Company does
not lease this road for philan-
thropic purposes only, butt hopes
to make it pay its stockholders;
from the fact that the owners of
the stock will be the shippers of
the road.

by the Chronicle, that the syndi-
cate owns not a dollars worth of
capital or property and that it ex-
lists only on paper, / would say

All Watches COmpasses,

London Truth.
A few days ago I was standing
by an American gentleman, when
l expressed a wish TO. know
which point was the north. He
at once pulled out his watch,
looked at it, and pointed to the
north. [ asked him whether he
had a compass attacked to his
watch. IAN Watches" he re
Piled, "are compasses. /" Then
he explained to me how this was.
Point the hour hand to the sun
and the south is exactly half way
between the hour and the figures
XII on the watch. For instance,
suppose that it is 4 o'clock.
Point the hand indicating TO the
sun and Ii on the watch is exactly
south. Suppose that it is s
o'clock, point the hand indicats
ing 8 to the sun, and the figure
x on the watch is due south.
My American friend was quite
surprised that I did not know
this. Thinking that very pos
sibly [ was ignorant of thing
that every one else knew, and
happening to meet Mr.. Stanley,
| asked that eminent traveller
whether he was aware of this
simple mode OF discovering the
points of the compass. He said
that he had never heard of it. I
presume, therefore, that the
world is in the same state OF ig-
norance. Amalfi is proud of
having been the home of the in
vensor of the compass. I do not
know what town boasts of my
American friend as citizen.
