AGITATION AT RALEIGH.
Discussing the Annulnent of n Lease
to the Southern.


to the Southern.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RALEIGH, N. c.. Februry 9.--The ques-
ticn of annuling the lease of the North
Carolina railway to the Southern railway
Is now absorbing attention in a degree
little inferior to the senatorial contest.
Some of the best legal talent in the state
is here.
Senator Pritchard and Gov. Russell and
their supporters clash, the former favoring
the lease and the latter desiring it annulled,
and thus the only reublicans who favor
annulment are from the east. Gov. Russell
would like. by having this lease revoked,
cast discredit upon the previous demo-
cratic administration of Gov. Carr The
populists are against the lease largely for
the same reason Russell. All the op-
ponents Of the lease think that the South
ern railway must have the road and will
dent Hoffman of the Seaboard Air Line,
who makes a bid CT 10 per cent for the
lease conditioned upon the annuIment of
the present lease to the Southern, would
regard his victory as a great blow to his
greatest enemy. the Southern. There are
people who believe that a lease which is so
highly esteemed by the private stockhoid-
ers and which yields 61a per cent net can
not fall to be advantageous to the state
Then there are people who oppose the
present lease because they think that will
be the winning side.
1t is asserted that the special commtte te,
which Is now hearing argument on the bill
to annul the lease will surely report the
bill fayorably. 1t is also claimed that
while the vote will be close in the house
the measure will pass the senate. Muci
feeling Is aroused and there will be plenty
Of attempts to make political capital out
of the matter.
