THE RAILROAD LEASE.
jacksonville Times.l

Sound business and self-interest seems
10 demand the annulment of the lease Of
the North Carolina Railroad to the South
ern Railway Company. The lease was
made six years before the expiration Of
the old contract and is for a period Of
90 years; which, according to a decision
of the United States Supreme court Is
tentament TO a sale. 1t now appears
that the lease was executed without eN
tending other roads the opportunity of
bidding for the property and as the Sea
board Airline is anxious to obtain the
road and is willing to pay rental of
$4,000 more per year than the South
ern, it is the imperative duty Of the
powers that be- to abrogate the illegal
lease and enter into a contract that viii
be more beneficial to the State.
The State has millions of dollars in
vested in the North Carolina road, which,
as matters now stand, is in danger Of
passing, by means Of a fraudulent lease.
into the hands of the Southern Railway
for mere nominal sum. A glance Of the
figures given below will convince every
one who has the interests Of the State at
heart, the wisdom and necessity Of giving
all roads chance TO lease the property
for a limited period and not for eternity.
During a term of fifteen years, the
dividends received by the State under the
illegal lease held by the Southern Rail
way would amount TO only S9G3.000.
while under the proposition made by the
Seaboard Line the State would re
ceive the comfortable sum Of 81, 76S, ,62J -
n difference of 81, sol ,G25 in favor Of the
$. A. l..
In settling this matter our lawmakers
will have a fine opportunity of showing
their constituents which they prefer
North Cardinals prosperity or the fos-

SIZES IT UP RIGHT.

The Jacksonville, Onslow county,
Times says:
'aThe member of the Legislature
who dares not strive to annul the
lease of the North Carolina Railroad
to the Southern system Is ia enemy
to the people-he prefers making
soulless corporation Il gift of Sl2O,-
900 a year to dim ,nshins the bur
dens, of the taxpayers.
The Times understands the issue and
presents it so the humblest man can
understand it. The Legislature is asked
to instruct the highest officials of the
State to briHg suit to annul a lease
which many believe invalid, and as a
help toward just decision to compel the
Southern Railway to submit itself to the
North Carolina courts.
If the Legislature gives this instruc-
tion and the courts affirm the monstrous
80 year lease, as law abiding people, we
will have to submit for ninety-nine years
to see $120,000 annually put into the
Golfers of the Southern Railway instead
of into the State Treasury.
If the Legislature is truer to the South
ern Railway than to the people, and re-
fuses to authorize suit to be brought, the
question will be agitated until General
Assembly is elected that is not under the
domination of the Southern Railway
1t is a final settlement by the courts,
or a ninety-nine year agitation for this

people that is about to go into the hands

Washington, %. c.. Feb. 1.-THE com
mittee on elections to-day unanimously
authorized a report in the Watson-Black

sitting member.
In the report drawn by Represents
tive Bartlett, of Georgia, the committee
find that the charge of conspiracy in any
county is unfounded, and that the reg
istration lists were not tampered with
that all the officers connected with the
election properly performed their duties
and put only honest voters on the list.
No bribery of voters could be found and
the only proof was the giving Of ten
cents to twenty-four negroes to pay car
fare, after they had voted. No proof of
intimidation or violence in Richmond
county or other places could be estab-
lished. The committee find that there
were not more than twenty-five or thirty
cases of repeating, but do not state for
whom these votes were cast.
