WHO'LL BE PRESIDENT
OF A. & N. C. RAILR0AD2
EIGHT MEMBERS OF INTERNAL IMPROVE
MERT BOARD CHOSEN.
OF These Three are Claimed fur Charles
Dewey and Two for Senator
]. A. BRYAN.

The question as to who will be presi
dent of the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Railroad is no nearer answered
now than week ago. Eight of the
nine members of the Board of Internal
Improvement have been either nominal
ed or selected-to be exact six have been
nominated and two practically agreed
upon.
Whether these men are for Mr.. Charles
Dewey, of GoldsbOro, or for Senator
James a. Bryan, of Newbern, for presi-
dent of the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad is what nobody appears to
know but what many would like very
much to know.
The names of the members to be of the
Board of Internal Improvement so far
as known are:
First District-E. +, Lamb, of Pasquo-
tank. nominated.
Second District. W. Granger of
Kmston, nominated.
Third District-W. ]. Adams, of
Moore, nominated.
Fourth District rlnistead Jones, of
Wake agreed on.
Fifth District-C. Az Parks, of Or
ange, nominated.
Sixth District f. X. Proctor Of
Robson, agreed on
Seventh District-To be nominated.
Eighth District-Cement Manly, of
Forsyth, nominated.
Ninth District-W. 7. Lee, of Hay
wood, nominated.
OF these, it is stated that three are
favorable to Mr.. Dewey, while two are
favorable to Senator Bryan. This leaves
three whose leaning is unknown beside
the member from the seventh, who is
yet to be selected
A member of the Legislature with the
facts said last night:
''It is impossible to say at this time
who will be selected president of the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad.
The men nominated have not pledged
themselves, though of course the prefer
ence of some is known The place is
anybody's as yet"

GOVERNOR JARVIS AND THE
RAILROAD COMMISSION.
(Webster's Weekly.)

Coy. Jarvis speaks the words of so
berness and truth when he urges the
Legislature to hold the balances impair
TALLY between the people and the cor
porations. The pledges of the Democrat
ic State platform are inseparable. AL
must be redeemed. Capital will be pro
tected, but the platform does not stoE
there. 1t serves notice on all corpora
tons, both foreign and domestic, doing
business in the State that they must sub
nit 10 the same justice that is melted
out to individuals. We want just laws
and then we want good men to enforce
them without fear or favor.
The platform is the party's chart. Let
every pledge contained therein be faith
fully executed One of these pledges
is that the powers of the Railroad Com
mission snail be enlarged so that bottom
facts can be ascertained and rates estab
lished that will be just to both sides
Another is that Railroad Commissioners
shall be elected by the people. The leg
islature should not elect anyone as Com
missioner who is not the choice of the
people and who does not possess their
confidence to the fullest degree. No
mistake viii be made il Gov. Jarvis is
put on the Commission.
The office of Railroad Commissioner is
not beneath the dignity of any man in
North Carolina. no matter how high his
attachments may be. There are ques-
lions that the Commission must pass up
on which call for the exercise of the
highest ability and wisdom. Let the leg
islature elect big. broad-gauged men, who
will enforce the law and do justice to all
concerned.

Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.
The Severity of this Dis.
ease Increases Each
Wznter.

Though the disagreeable effects OF Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold
and unpleasant weather aggravates
the disease and it is during the winter
season that it's severest form is felt.
Each succeeding year seems to in
tensify the disease, so that it gradually
fastens its hold upon the sufferer with
a grasp that becomes tirmer each sea-
son.
Catarrh often appears rs only cold
at first, and is hardly noticed. But
gradually the cold returns, and it is
more difficult to cure, and stays longer
than formerly. These symptoms can
not be mistaken; they mark the first
appearance of a disease that will de-
velop in severity and stubbornness, and
which it is impossible to cure with the
local treatment of sprays, washes, and
similar applications Being a disease
of the blood, only blood remedy can
have the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S.
(Swift's Speciiic) is the only cure for
Catarrh, because it is the only blood
remedy which goes to the seat of all OBJ
stinate cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr.. T. A. Williams, leading mer-
chant of Spartanburg, S. c., writes:
Gs"For four years had nasal catarrh,
and though the case was a mild one at
first, it was not long until noticed that
it was gradually growing worse. OF
course l was under treatment of first
class physicians, but their remedies
were applied locally, and the Catarrh

TO RESTORE THE PERMANENT
SCHOOL FUND.

When the Radicals came into power in
1868, the State had large permanent
public school investment in the stock of
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad
The Radicals sold it and invested it in
special tax bonds, or in other words,
threw it away. Since that time the
, permanent school fund has grown, and
Yesterday Senator Daniels, of Wayne,
introduced a bill which, if it becomes a
law. will restore the school fund to some
thing like its old time proportions. His
bin is as follows:
THE General Assembly of North
Carolina do enact:
"Section /, Whereas, the State holds
rs an investment S136,750 i'll its own 4
por cent bonds, and there are several
Thousand dollars of bonds of the State
(fundable in said four per cent?, which
have been recently discovered in the
Treasurer office; now, therefore, the
Treasurer is directed to issue in lieu Of
said old bonds the amount of new four
per cent bonds ut the ratio provided or
such old bonds in the act ITO cOmpro-
mise, commute and settle the State
Debt" and the new bonds so ISSUED III
exchange together with the above re-
cited fund of S136 $50 shall be held in
trust by the State Treasurer for the
benefit of the State Board of Educa-
ton. as a sacred and irreducible fund,
and the coupons maturing thereon from
time to time shall be paid to said Board
to be disbursed for the purposes of public
education in the manner provided by law
as to other funds coming into their hand
for that purpose.
Section . This act shall be i'll force
from its ratification"
This sum, added to the bonds already
owned by the State Board of Educa-
ton, would make the permanent school
fund about S250,000-a quarter of a
million dollars. The bonds held by the
State Treasurer were bought some eight
or ten years ago. If they stay in the
Treasury, they will some day be used
for common expenses. They ought to
be made sacred fund for the advance
ment of the public schools.

PUT ON THE POLL TAN RECEIPT
Charlotte Observer.

OF all the interviews with Senators
on the subject of an election law, pub
lished i'll our Raleigh correspondence
yesterday, we liked that of Mr. Murray
best: "A law" said he, that will force
each and every man to show his tax
receipt" That is right The man who
cannot pay at least a poll tax-who
cannot contribute this much toward
the support of the government that
protects him-should not only not be
allowed to vote but should get off the
earth. When this country was young
there was a great furry in it on the
injustice of taxation without represent
tation, and because, largely, of this in
justice it went to war with the mother
country. The pendulum has swung the
other way and now we are having en-
tirely too much representation without
taxation,

THE RIGHT STA4ND-JUDGE NOR
WOODS CASE.

The House judiciary committee took
the right course yesterday afternoon
with reference to the proposed I'M
parchment of Judge Norwood. If he
will not resign he should be impeached.
1t had been hoped by his friends thar
Judge Norwood would tender his resig-
nation and make it unnecessary to be-
gin impeachment proceedings. As he
will not do so, the course of the Leg
islature is clear 1t must impeach him.
The time has come in North Caro-
lima when the people will not submit to
having a drunken judge on the bench.
Public sentiment will never again toll
crate it.

QUESTIONS FOR THE TRUSTS.
Springfield Republican.

Contracts are said to have oeen made
by the tin-plate trust with the makers
of machinery used in tin-plate factories,
by which no machinery will be sold -
mills outside the trust for term Of five
years. This is an old monopoly device.
Why, however, should it be resorted 20,
if the trust relies upon economies" in
production to win its advantages? why.
if the game is not one of purely mono
ply extortion? Let the apologies Of
trusts explain this little matter.

THE RAILROAD CORNERSTONE
FEW SUGGESTIONS.

THE Legislature has not yet done any
Railroad Commission. There is no duty
more important than such change as
will give this Legislature the power to
elect three Commissioners in whose abii-
ity and fairness all parties can safely
trust. The people are utterly disgust
ed with the policy of the two majorlty
members of the present board, and what
to be relieved of them on the first Of
April for all time.
When the new bill is drawn there are
a few amendments which ought 20 be
Incorporated. Among them we may sug-
gest:
/. The first section of the present
law, giving the Governor the power 10
remove Railroad Commissioner ought
to be repealed.
2. The Commission should be given
control over sleeping car companies
power to fix rates, rules and regulations
governing them.
3. 1t should have power to control all
street railways or none. At present
the act only applies to those roads the
lines OF which extend beyond the cor
porate limits of any town.
lower 10 fix a rate for telephone
companies, both for yearly rental and
separate messages.
). Power to require the erection o.
depots, and to require the CONSTRUCTION of
side tracks.
6. Fuller power of the assessment as
to sleeping car companies, telegraph.
telephone and express companies.
T. More definite power in the bring
Ing of complaints before the Inter
State Commission.
s. Speedier methods of enforcing thr
orders of the Commission to compel the
railroads TO Immediately accord t. The
public the rights that are due them.
These, with such other improvements
as may strengthen the powers of the
Commission (see Democratic State plat
form, without crossing a IT. or dotting
an ~ in the present law defining The
powers of the Commission will give 70
North Carolina the best Railroad Com
mission law of any State in the Union.
What next? The election of three
able and just men, in whom the people
>sQve confidence, who will execute the
law IN che spirit of men who believe in
the proper regulation Of railroads. Good
as the present law is, it is worthless if
the Commission are lacking either IN in
tegrity or in civic courage. 1t is ne
man behind the gun that counts. 1t is
the man charged with the execution
of the Railroad Commission law that
will have more to do with doing equity
than the law itself. The selection Of
the right men is one of the most i'm
portant duties devolying upon the Leg
islature.

The bill introduced by Representative
Craig, of Buncombe in the House, and
by Senator Hairston in the Senate, for
DEMONSTRATING corporations, with view
to preventing the removal of suits from

to be holly fought. The bill is manifest
ly a desirable one and should be pass

tons, who oppose it because it deprives
them of an advantage they now have.
