possible ON an appropriation Of $500
to care for the present number on our
rolls. We have now applicants from sixty
ex-Confederate soldiers who write beg
ging to be admitted. We are anxious to
admit them, but we cannot do so unless
we have the money to buy provisions to
feed them.
"Our regulations are framed with a
view to securing the welfare of the in
mates. We have no motive except the
good of the Home and the soldiers
who are cared for there at the expense
Of the State. We are trustees. We have
the least stringent regulations of any
home in the countray an give the in
mates every liberty consistent with good

corn grower, but instead it worked n
hardship to him. For instance, the rate
from Newbern to Raleigh, he said had
been reduced 3 cents, while from Paint
Rock, the route into North Carolina
for corn from the west, the reduction is
). and cents. The same condition of
affairs maintains on other roads and
from other points.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Emerson. Of

be not made general, but that a special
tariff be promulgated. He was willing
to have ten cent rate put in from
Newbern to Raleigh until June LIST. ms
an experiment Both the Seaboard and
Southern agreed to this Thereupon
the Commission ordered repeal of the
recent corn rate and put in effect a new
rate of 10 cents per hundred pounds
from Newborn to Raleigh.
This gives reduction of about one
third the present rate, or cents on the
hundred pounds.

policy holders in North Carolina. Re
Gently the company raised it's rate of
assessment on these policy holders and
now they are raising a mighty kick, and
charging that it is done to force out
those who have been in the company a
long time.
Several months ago number OF ac-
tiOns to enjOin the insurance company
from making this increased assessment
were started by policy holders in the
eastern part of the State. Yesterday
Mr.. J. b. Fortune, the clerk of the Dis
trict court here, added another suit to
the number. He is insured for $4,000.
The policy was taken out when Fortune
was SO years old at a certain rate. Now
the company has arbitrarily increased
the rate to that for a man insuring ut

His suit is to enjoin the company from

THE DOCKET DISPOSED OF.
4 Sweet Letter From an Admirer in

question the regular docket was taken
up and disposed of as follows:
Norfolk and Western Railroad allowed
30 discontinue the station OF Bahama on
the Lynchburg and Durham branch.
SeabCard and Southern Railroads or
lered to make the contemplated
changes in the colored waiting room at
Union depot, Raleigh, within the next
thirty days.
The complaint of G.. O. Best, of To-
baccoville, against the Southern Rail
way, for burning twenty-five panels of
fence, ON November /, 1895, was stricken
off the docket.
a similar complaint against the Sea-
board for freight lost by Parker and
Terrell, of Raleigh, was also stricken
off.
The Charlotte Broom Company's COM
plant of discrimination of rates to
points outside of the State was dismiss
ed, this being matter for the Inter

improvements ordered in the depot at
Kelford, on the Norfolk and Southern
Railroad, were being made.
The Seaboard Airline was ordered to
receive from the Norfolk and Western
Railroad freight at Sanford. 1t has
been refusing to receipt for freight
billed to Norfolk and other points, on ac-
count of failure of the two roads to
agree on a division of the rate.
A letter was read from Mr.. Il. W.
Hicks, asking the Commission to make
a lower FIRE ght rate on mOlasses shipped
from New Orleans and other points
to the city of Wilmington. This letter
was naturally a very sweet one, filled
with taffy. The Commission expressed
great appreciation Of the saccharine re-
marks of Mr. Hicks and extended to him
the glad hand, expressing the nope
that he would personally appear before
them ON March 10Th and furnish to each
his autograph.

VIII Not Submit to the. Rates Fixed by
the Commission.

When the Commission met after the
noon recess the telephone rate excep-
tions were again taken up and over
ruled. chairman Caldwell reading the
following ruling Of the court:
1T is ordered that all exceptions to
Circular No. 73. fixing telephone rates
are hereby overruled, said rates being in
effect from this date. Commissioners
Caldwell and Pearson voted to Over-rule
the exceptions and Commissioner Alb
bott voted to sustain them"
Chairman aldwell explained that
while the statute was not as plain as he
could wish. still he was compelled to de-
eide with lights before him, and if the
telephone company did not consider the
rates just and reasonable or that the
Commission had right to fix them,
they would have to take the matter to IL
higher court.
Mr.. Z. G. Strong. attorney for the
Southern Bell Company, gave notice
that an appeal would be taken, but he
was not prepared as yet to say to what
court he would appeal-the Superior
court of Wake or the Supreme court of
North Carolina.
The appeal bond was fixed at $4,000,
to be given within ten days.
