RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS
TAKEN UP BY THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
YESTERDAY.
No Decision Reached in the Reduction Of
Passenger Rates Commission 10 Meet
Again July II.

The Railroad Commission was in SEES
sion again yesterday. The first case call
ed was the petition of citizens of Mt.
Airy. asking that the Western Union
Telegraph aificc be compelled to move
their office up town. 1t is now situated
ut the depot. three-fourths of Il mile
from the business centre of the town.
The commission ordered that the relief
asked for in the petition be granted and
that the company comply with the order
by August LIST.
Petition of citizens of Lexington for
an uptown express office was read and
the relief asked for was granted by the
commission.
In the matter of extension of time to
the Raleigh and CASTOR railroad to file
their answer why passenger rates should
not be reduced. the road was given until
July LIST to file their answer and eXcep-
tons.
Chairman Caldwell gave notice that
he expected to dispose of the matter of
reduction of passenger fares i'll North
Carolina at that meeting. and no further
The commission discussed the feasibility
of holding their next meeting at Ashe-
VILE
Messrs. Caldwell and Pearson ex-
pressed themselves in favor of that place,
but DR.. Abbott came out strongly
against the proposition, saying he be-
lieved it was illegal to hold sessions of
the commission anywhere except in
the city of Raleigh.
Colonel Hinsdale. counsel for the
Governor. said it would not be conven-
lent for him to attend the hearing at
Asheville so that settled the matter, and
the commission will again meet III this
city. July 18th.
The Wilmington Traffic Association
also extended an invitation to the com
mission to hold session there this sum
mer, saying that the commission of
Georgia and South Carolina, and the
managers of the different freight bu-
rcaus of these States had also been in
vited to meet there. The annual assess
ment of the railways was taken up yes
terday afternoon. Colonel Hinsdale APP
peared as counsel for Governor Russell
for the purpose of getting assessed value
of railways increased. which he claimed
was much too low. The assessed valua-
ton of the roads will hardly be given
out before the next meeting of the com.
mission.

Public Schools Cannot be Combined
With State Schools.
Frequent letters have lately been re-
ceived by the State Superintendent of
Public Schools inquiring whether the
public school could be combined with
church and mission schools. The follow
ing letter written yesterday indicates his
views:
"Rcv. Charles l.. Graves, Pittsboro,
n. c.:
Dear Sir: / think the common
school always provide public school
lot and building.
''The spirit of all our law seems to be
against combining church and State in
any way. When the public school is
combined with denominatiOnal school
the best interests of the public school
can rarely if ever be served.
I'VE cannot have the support of all
the people when the public schools are
united with church schools.
1.-THE public schools are for all the peo-
pie. supported by all the people, and
must serve all the people in enlighten-
ment without any regard to churches or
denominations.
'"rhe law provides for combining
public schools with private schools, but
| do not think this provision in any
sense means UNCONVENTIONAL or church
schools.
"Yours truly.
