THE LEASE INVESTIGATION.
Counsel for the Governor Pleased at {
Letter from President Spencer.
fAtlanta ,Iournal1


Letter from President Spencer,
(Atlanta Journall
Counsel for the Governor of North
Carolina claimed to have made an i'm
portant find in proving by Chairman
Trammell from letter written to him
by President Spencer, of the Southern,
that the gross earnings of the Southern
railway system as a whole for the year
just preceding the making of this lease
were 1850 mile less than the gross
earnings of the North Carolina railroad,
whereas the difference in net earnings
between the North Carolina railroad OPP
Grated by the Southern railway for that
year and the rest of the Southern sys--
tenn was only $500 per mile, which they
claim shows that their lessee was load
ing ON this property SLIGO per mile of
charges which did not belong there, for
the purpose Of depreciating its value in
the eyes of the directors on the part of
the State, from whom the Southern
sought to obtain new lease for ninety
nine years; and this they claim was
fraud.

ENGLAND LIKES US.
The Feeling Impressed Bishop Cheshire
Very Much.


In a letter, written by Bishop Cheshire
to the Messenger of Hope, from Glasgow,
Bishop Cheshire says:
Zone thing has struck me in almost
all my intercourse with English peo-
ple. of which | believe have not spoken
in my other two letters. That is their
great interest in America, and their de-
sire for the friendship of the United
States They feel that quarrels with
France and Germany and Russia are
more or less unavoidable, but | do be-
feve that they have a most earnest de-
sire that nothing should disturb the
friendly relations between us and them.
And this does not seem to be base
or selfish feeling, but sentiment spring
ing out of their increasing realization
of the essential unity of the great Eng
disappearing people as represented III
the American Republic and in the British
Empire. Many wise men think that the
British public is coming to realize its
position as only one part of a great
worldwide community as it has not done
in the past. If war and bl0od-shed be,
as all wise men are agreed, that they
are, contrary to the principles of Christ,
then certainly two such nations as these
should learn to settle their differences
without violence, and when they have
learned this they may be able to teach
the rest of the world the same But l
must not preach. l am sure your read
ers do not wish me to send them SER
mons across the Atlantic But / have
been very much impressed with this fact
as the feeling of English people toward
America, and l think our people ought
to know it,

GRANDFATHER'S TALES.
A Sketch OF John Stanly, Of New
bern.
(E. City Economist.l


Few men have lived in North Carolina
of more conspicuous natural endow-
ments than John Stanly, of Newbern,
who was disabled for many years by II
stroke of paralysis while speaking on the
floor of the House of Commons of
North Carolina. That was in 1925 and
he died in 1884.
In the obituary notice of Stanly writ
ten by his great rival at the bar in North
Carolina, William CASTOR, he gives a
graphic account of the sad close of the
career of one of the most gifted men
that North Carolina has ever produced.
He was for many years a member of
the Legislature of North Carolina, and
by his aggressive and outspoken yehe-
mence and sarcasm he held the rod over
that body.
Mr.. Stanly was especially an Eastern
man and he held rod picked in his
sarcasm over the Western North Caro-
lima delegation in the Legislature of
North Carolina. He kept them all COM
pletely 'hacked," until Bartlett Yancey,
of Caswell county, fearless, fiery and
impetuous speaker, came on the stage
as a representative in the Legislature.
As a lawyer Mr.. Stanly held the high
est rank in the State, but he was more
noted as an advocate before the jury
than as a jurist, and his great forte of
sarcasm and inyectiye gave him great
power.
The great misfortune Of his life was
his killing of Governor Speight in duel
The dispute between Speight and Stan
ly arose from some political controvel-
sy, and Stanly was challenged by Gov
ernor Speight to mortal combat. The
challenge was accepted and the mr.
rangements made for the meeting. The
hostile meeting took place on the SUI
burbs Of the town of Newbern. They
stood back to back at ten PAGES apart
and wheeled and fred, when the wore
was given. The town turned out eli
masse Several Intellectual shots were
exchanged. There were propositions
made for IN amicable settlement. but

to Old Age-other Deaths Rec
orded Yesterday.

since 1862, wnen he was appointed gov

vile, O., March Q, 1914. In 1898. he grad
uated from the medical department of
Cincinnati college. He first practiced
his profession at Attica, Ind. He at
once began advocating the establish
ment of state insane asylums, and in
1871 induced the legislature to build
one at Indianapolis, of which he was ap-
pointed superintendent. In 1S49 he re-
signed this position to accept a chair
Isl Rush Medical college of Chicago.
This place he held for II years. During
this time he took to the study of cholera,
and it was largely through his efforts
that systems of quarantine against that
disease We're first established. DR.. Ev-
ans was for some time editor OF the
Northwestern Medical and Surgical
Journal. He also established the Hi
nois general hospital of the Lakes, later
turned over to the Sisters of Mercy, and
now known as Mercy Hospital.
DR.. Evans inherited a comfortable
fortune from his father, and this was
immensely increased by judicious in
vestments in Chicago realty. His wealth
was literally spent in the promotion Of
institutions in which his symoathies
were enlisted. The Northwestern uni
versity was one CT these. His work in
its establishment was recognized in the
name Of his own-Evanston. He en-
dOwed the chairs of Latin and mental
and moral philosophy with 5000 each.
For 42 years he was chairman of the
board CT trustees Of the university. Dr.
Evans was one of the projectors of the
Chicago q Fort Wayne, and was for
years its managing director in Chicago.
He was a member of the city council in
1923. He was q delegate TO the first
national Republican convention, and
was a personal friend OF Lincoln, and
one of his partisans. In 1862 President
Lincoln appointed him governor CT Col
oradO. and since that time he has been
one OF the prominent citizens of the
state. He devoted much of his time to
railroad building. the Denver Pacific
and Denver City and Fort Worth being
built almost solely through his efforts.
He gave hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars toward the establishment of the
University Of Colorado. He was
member of the Methodist church. and
was probably the largest contributor
TO the church building movement in
Denver.

That the people of Utah have no
small regard for the great champion of
silver. the Hon. William Jennings Bry-
an, was demonstrated beyond any
doubt in the reception and ovation ten
dered here during his stay in Salt Lake
last Thursday. Had he succeeded in
being elected to the presidency. of the
United States in the election last No
vember, he could not have been re-
ceived in Utah with warmer welcome
than that which he received.
When Mr.. Bryan returns 10 Salt Lake

he will be welcomed in just as fitting a

lar movement was set on foot in which
the mining men OF the state took q
leading part, to get up some fitting re-
membrance for him.
