man was left in Newbern he would vote
against turning over that fair city TO the

the people Of Newibern were TO pass under

rested ON the Republicans and not ON
the Democrats and Populists. Young

were Democrats; and that this cry Of
negro rule no longer scared people; but

For the want of judge the Halifax Cir
cult Criminal court is not in session this
week. Many jurors and witnesses were
on hand yesterday and the county will
have to foot the bill. There are thirteen
prisoners in Jail and their maintenance
is heavy tax upon the county. Why

Many Of the Weldon people viii oppose
with all their might the bonding OF the

debt and it is considered by some to be
bad policy to fasten heavy debt upon
it, as it would have a tendency to drive

DIRECTOR ALLISON.

MIR. Allison answered Mr.. Manning s
usual 'inducenent' question in the mega
tive, and Ito Judge Avery was State
director was not in Raleigh, was in
Burlington; he voted for the so years
ultimatum, but afterwards accepted the
90 years-didn't remember anything
about the conference between Spencer
and Alexander etc. All he heard
about danger Of litigation was what the
News and Observer said about tit
made a great TO do over it. His
town and county were in favor Of it, and
thought the State was in favor Of it,
he probably judged by Cabarrus-he had
10 means of communicating with the
people at large-he heard very little op-
position. He thought the general opin-
ion was in favor of it as far as they
cared anything about it one way or the
other.
Earnings were taken up, and Mr.. AL
lison knew they were making a good
thing out Of it, but the State was, too.
He didn't see the 1861 900 net receipts;
if he had, he would have thought it right
small out Of $1400,O00 gross receipts.
Never consulted Gov. Carr-thought he
was opposed to it.
The directors having been exhausted,
Mr.. Manning put in a copy of the old
lease and the new one.
Judge Avery asked if according to re-
quest summons haa been issued for
Mr. Herbert Norris, and Mr.. Beckwith
as members of the Beard of Internal
Improvement. There had not been. Judge
Avery had requested Grant to summon
them, and Editor Daniels had written
asking that they be summoned. Grant
here got in huff and said he would not
summon Norris and Beckwith-though
Judge Avery said they were in the build
ing. Mr.. Daniels was given five min
utes to appear and was telephoned for.
JUDGE AVERY'S STATEMENT.
The statement was tsraightened out,
Judge Avery stating Grants denial, and
telling what he wanted to prove by Beck
with and Norris. They had been consult
ed as a Board Of Internal Improvements
by Governor Carr, who had thought their
acquiescence possibly essential to the
legality Of the lease, and Judge Avery
wanted to get from them what occurred
at the conference with Gov. Carr.
Senator Grant made his statement
announced that the committee had de-
cided to hear Messrrs. Norris and Beck
with. Judge Avery had some trouble
in getting Grant to issue summons,
though he told Grant that the gentlemen
would not come as voluntary witnesses
Grant seemed to take this new turn with
uneasy grace, and was steaming mad.

Nothing new from Mr.. Johnson. Mr..
Youngs attention was called, he (YOung)
thought, to the fact that the net earnings
now were only $4,000 more than in Joe
Turner's time, but it had not impressed
him against the feasibility of the present
lease. He thought even with the lease

tion. the S27 900 difference was not re

DIRECTOR TURNER.

Dr. Y. r. Turner considered himself a
director on the part of the State. Did
he not (from Judge Avery consider that
the people should be consulted. DIR. Tur-
ner thought directors should, representing
the PEOPLE, conduct the road on business
principles, and he did not think, if the
people had understood the situation, they
would have opposed it, He remembered
no newspaper that had not opposed it.
but the opinions were so much at vari-
ance with his own views, he thought the
situation was not cvorrectly understood.

il certain things could be cured, as leay-
ing the improvements, the arrangement

Heavier rails" etc. DIR. Turner
understood that the old lease
permitted them to denude the road. He
thought the new lease would have more
permanent improvements, but Judge
Avery's question suggested that at six
years before the end Of the 80 years
lease, the road would be run down as
well as could have been done under the
oil. lease so that why didn't the directors
insist that the improvements should be
turned over at the end Of the 90 years.
Doctor Turner didn't know; he thought
the improvements would accrue, and
they had acted according to their best
judgment

DIRECTOR FRIES.

Mr.. Ell. w Fries first took the stand.
To Judge Avery: He was not one of the

because with 80 years they agreed to pay
taxes and give the betterments to the
State. He had owned stock ever since
the road had started, had bought no stock
since the lease, but would have done so

the word 'impregnable," as used by
him in the editorial as applied to the
Governors position, referred to the gen
eral policy OF the Governor against the
80 year feature.
Mr.. Daniels stood aside.
GRANT AGAIN ON HIS HIND LEGS
Judge Avery wanted to know now
whether it was the committees opinion
or Grants opinion that Beckwith and
Norris should not be summoned. He
asked to take the sentiment of the com
mittee. II will do that" snorted out
Grant with a hump on his voice.

ton interdicting the exhibition of the XII

sight of fundamental principles in the ef-
fort to regulate mankind. Fortuna :eIy.
the Constitution does not permit this kind
of legislation. The first amendment-and

liberty of the press" according to Black
stone and Cooley, Is the right to publish

that all may read and understand from
the stage of a theater that The Star has
to publish the same story in type from its

1t May Yet Secure the College Boat

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, April l.
Chairman Booth of the local college re-
gatta committee is alleged to have spoken
without the concurrence of the other mem
bers of the committee yesterday when he
told the reporter of the Associated Press
that the committee would withdraw its
offer for the boat races. Mr.. Booth stated
emphatIcally that he had instructed Sec
Tetary Reynolds to write to the commit
tee to that effect. and when the Associated
Press reporter asked Mr.. Reynolds about
the matter he did not deny the chair
mans statement. but said that he should
not write until today. Mr.. Reynolds now
says that he misunderstood the reporters
query. and that he never received instruc-
tions to withdraw the offer. Mr.. Reynolds
said today:
In a conversation with Mr.. Booth a few
days ago he told me that he was in favor
of withdrawing the Offer and l told him
that l was not in favor of doing any such
a thing, and refused to agree to his propo-
Sition. l never understood that l was to
notify the colleges that the offer had been
withdrawn"
Mr.. Reynolds says that Poughkeepsie's
proposition still holds good. The people
here want the boat races. but they will
not increase the offer already made. They
will furnish everything except tranSporta-
tion and food for the crews.
The local committee is making an effort
to induce the West Shore railroad to give
the colleges 80 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts from the observation train, to beat
New London's offer of % per cent. II
these terms can be secured, together with
reduction in transportation rates for
the crews, there is little doubt that the
races will be rowed here.
