the Case.
Before the Railroad Commission
last week there was final re-hear-
Ing in the matter OF telephone
rates. There was argument, by
counsel for the telephone COM
panies, which had excepted to the
Commissioners order reducing tele-
phone rates i'm the state. Hon.
John W. Daniel and Clarence +.
Young appeared for the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
and Robert c. Strong for the South
ern Bell Telephone Company. The
Commission unanimously decided
to revoke its former orders reguIat-
ing telephone rates and leaves the
matter open to free competition.
The attorneys in the case are much
pleased with the action taken, as it
is a decided victory for the COM
panies in the State. The Railroad
Commission makes the following
order: "The Commission having
fully considered the exceptions filed
in this case, and having obtained
the advice OF the Attorney General
thereon are Of the opinion that this
board is not given jurisdiction un-
der the Commission act to do more
with respect to rates OF telephone
companies than to make or cause
to be made, just and reasonable
rates, of charges for transmission
OF messages by any telephone line
or lines doing business in the State,
and that it has no authority to
prescribe charges for rental of tele-
phone wires, instruments and ex-
changes or the use thereof, but that
the rates fixed by the Commission
for the transmission Of messages
shall remain in force. Representa-
tive Of the Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Company were pre-
sent and prepared to show from
transcripts Of their books that their
charges for rental on telephone
wires, exchange service or the use
thereof, were not unreasonable, but
this matter was not considered by
reason of the opinion of the Attor-
ney General. All orders fixing
rates for rental of telephone or ex-
change service are hereby rescinded
and the case is stricken from the
docket"
Following is the opinion of At
tOrney General Walser: Section
q of the Railroad Commission act
by the use of the language make or
cause to be made, just and reason
able rate of charges for transmission
of messages by any telephone or
telegraph line doing business in
North Carolina did not intend to
and does not confer upon the board
of Railroad Commissioners author
ity to fix rates of rental of telephone
appliances or boxes"

Municipal ownership of street rail-

Great Britain that it seems only a
question of time when ownership by
private corporations will be a thing
of the past. In Blockpool, Hudders
field, Hull, Leeds, plymouth, Shef-
field, and Glasgow all the street car
lines are operated by the city au-
thoritits. In thirty other cities, in
cluding Birmingham, Liverpool,
Manchester, Eiingburgh, and L on-
don, the municipalities own and op-
crate a part of the lines within their
limits. In Card # and Southamptt n
the change to municipal ownership
will probably be completed before
the end of the present year. In va

tracks belong to the municipal y

opposite Terra del Fuego. Each

TEACHERS URGED TO ORGANIZE.
A Circular Letter Sent Out by Suporin
tendent Mebane.

A Circular Letter Sent Out by Superin.
tendent Mebsne.
Superintendent Mebane yesterday
sent out a circular letter to the public
school teachers of the State, request
county in the State and organic re them
selves into Teachers Associations.
In the course of this letter he has
this to say touching the Importance of
organization and united effort:
at is of vital importance to public
education for Onr teachers to be Or
ganized; to have united action for ad-
vancemeEt among our teachers. No
teacher IS so wise but that he may learn
something by coming in touch with
his fellOw-teachers. Those of you who
are better prepared to teach, and who
have had better opportunities than
others, should meet with the others
who are not so we'll prepared, and who
have not had such favorable OppOrtu-
mites.
"Come together in the Teachers As.
sOciatiOn for mutual benefit, as we'll rs
for the cause of public education in
general. Why shall our teachers be
Organized? The business lnen, bank
ers and merchants are organized. We
have our Dental Association, our Med
ical Association, our.Press Association,
our Pharmaceutical Association, and
others too numerous to mention. All
these organizations mean something,
and have force and effect, each one in
it's own special work. Why may not
the teachers come together and have
some force and power, not only in the
county where the Association is, but
be felt in adjoining counties, and still
of more importance, be felt in the Leg
| islature of our State, to secure what.
ever legislation is needed from time to
time for the best interest and progress
of the schools?
"Our teachers, both public and pri-
vate, do not make themselves felt al
they should, as a class of man and wo.
men, in their respective counties. Toe
many of our teachers are Indifferent
as to what public sentiment is on thu
subject of popular education. Tot
often they sit in silence while the poll
ticians around the court house and th(
school committeeman sqander public
money.
"The County Association may no
only create public sentiment in favO
of popular education, but it may be tn
means of securing school men TO
/, school committeeman instead of mel
who will do the bidding of the court
house politician. 1t may make tn
schools, instead of farce one sub
!, ject of ridicule, power and blessin

The success Of Tammany in New
York at the recent election is to be
followed by an attempt to displace
MIR. Bryan as the leader of the Demo-
cratic National Party and to make
New York man the next Demo-
cratic candidate for President. The
man whom Tammany and Mr.. Hill
intend to boom is Justice Alton ID.
Parker. The fact that Justice Par
ker at the recent election overcame
Mckinley's majority Of 356, 900 and
carried the State of New York by
$4,000 will be urged as a reason
why the Democratic party should
look upon him as the most avail
able candidate for the Presidency.
This statement comes from a
member OF Tammany Hall, who is
a friend of Croker's, Hills and
Parker's, and who is we'll in the
confidence Of the organization.
MUST CARRY NEW YORK.
Speaking Of Mr.. Justice Park er
as a candidate, he said "The Dem
ocratic party has got to realize that
success is extremely doubtful, il
not impossible, unless we can carry
the State Of New York. Justice
Parker has demonstrated that he
can carry that State. He has car
ried it this fall by larger majority
than has any Democrat received
since the Folger campaign. l think
that the New York delegation to
the next Democratic national con.
ventiOn will go as unit to pre-
sent the name Of Justice Parker
| IN RIVALRY WITH BRYAN.
| "Justice Parker as we'll as Tam.
many, supported Bryan Loyalty
and if Parker is a candidate before
the convention he will appear in
rivalry with, but not in antagonism
to, Bryan. Justice Parker's record
is not assafiable by any Democrat
either on account Of his standing in
the party or lack of loyalty to any
of it's candidates.
at would be worse than folly fol
the Democratic party to nominate
for the presidency man who can
not carry the State of New York
Parker, we know, surely can carry
the State, and his availability as {
presidential candidate ought to b.
recognized by Democrats North
