purposes.
If the State develops, as in the natural
course of events it must, this road in 20
years will pay to the State one million
of dollars annually. At this rate in 90
years the difference in rents will aggre-
gate $26,oo00OO. With what force can
amy one, even the employees of the South
ern ask people, already tax-burdened to
give this vast sum away TO northern
bankers and bondholders?
This road, if leased for 20 years, even
at the price now offered by the Seaboard
land / believe higher price viii be OBJ
tanned if THE present lease is set aside
will, by the end of that time, yield a rental
almost sufficient to run the State gov
ernment and to very great extent re-
Eeve the people of taxes.
If the lease is valid the Southern Rail
way can't be hurt by the counts passing
upon it; If it is invalid it ought to be
broken. This is a matter of very grave
concern when the difference to the tax
payers is considered. A lease for 90
years amounts TO "a sale and Is or should
be void. 1t is a question of bond-holder
against taxpayers, and a foreign bond
holder ait that. The private stockholders
in North Carolina can't be hurt If they
get 10 per cent instead OF z.
THE DIRECTORS IN SESSION.
The directors of the North Carolina
=
The lease was discussed in an informal
manner, but nothing was done. All the
directors were present, except Col. Ben
nehan Cameron. who rs seriously ill at
his home IN this city
The directors have taken room at the
Marlborough House and will probably
meet from day to-day until the matter is
settled. Capt. S. B. Alexander president
of the road, presides at these meetings,
and Mr.. p. B. Ruffin acts as secretary.
The directors are unanimously in favor
of leaving the lease just as it lis, now
that it is made, unless it is decided that
it amounts to a sale.
Hon. Lee S. Oyerman, one of the di-
rectors, said yesterday that he was not
ut all sure that a 99-year lease was not
equivalent to sale. He opposed the
lease when it was made on the ground
that it wis for too long time. He was
willing that it be made for 80 years, as
sort Of compromise, but voted against
the 99-year contract.
Speaking of the offer of 10 per cent
made by the Seaboard, he said: 1T is to
the interest of North Carolina for the
Southern Railway to lease the North
Carolina Railroad at even less rental
than the Seaboard is willing to pay. The
Seaboard, the Southern and the Atlantic
Coast Line are three competing lines
one running through the Eastern part of
the State, one through the Piedmont sec
tion, and one through the West We
want as many competing lines as pos
sible.
''To take the North Carolina Railroad
away from the Southern would seriously
cripple it and give the Seaboard a mono
poly, in that it would cut off all competi-
ton in the western and central portions
of the State. The North Carolina Rail
road is not necessary for the Seaboard to
run as = through line, whereas it is to
the Southern, the link from Greensboro to
Charlotte being AN absolute necessity
If taken away it would cut the road half

Though the seaboard should offer a
half million for the lease, they could
throw it up in one years time whenever
they get tired Of it, and not suffer there
by. The Southern, on the other hand,
even IL it should go into the hands OF

Richmond and Danyille did. in order to
have a connecting link for through

had nothing to stake on the result.
Even the hacker has retired in disgust,

In melancholy silence, disturbed
only by the intermittent groans of the
pugilstic ruin, his trainer rubs him
down with camphor and arnica, occa-
sionally pouring something from n

DOG OF THE IRON MASK.
Although Only an Aristocratic Statue 1t
Deceived the Street Mongrel.


A relative who lives in one of the one
time fashionable mansions now be-
come students boarding houses, in the
south end, tells me pretty good story
of dog, says reporter for the Boston
Post. In the yard, where fountain
was once known to play but where now
dust gathers, is an iron statue of n dog.
The iron dog watches and guards the
old fountain, but he in. his turn has an
admirer and adorer. The other day,
hunting for another dog to go out and
play tag with him, came a young street
mongTel. He was unaccustomed to the
ways of aristocracy, and in his simple
ignorance supposed that any thing that
looked like dog was dog.
Up to the statue he bounded barking
and wagging his tail. In stately inn
mobility the iron dog gazed on out into
vacancy. This did not deceive the
other. He had seen plenty of dogs as
/. sumo just that naughty and distracted
manner when they did not care TO fight.
Wishing to show his iron friend that he
appreciated his attitude, but assuring
him OF no evil intention, the dog from
the street kept on barking and wagging
his tail. He even ran around his friend
a number of times TO show that there
was no ill-will--as rs the manner of
dogs But the dog Of the iron mask did
not bulge. Ny relative says that he is
sure that even if the street dog had
brought around n cat to chase the iron
dog would have remained unmoved. A
red Irish setter came out finally and
called the street dog away. The latter
went with distinct traces of reluctance
in his manner. He liked the style of
that iron dog and had rather play in his
yard with him.
