CAN'T PAY WARRANTS.
Treasurer Worth Will Ask County
Treasures to Hold Them Up.

Treasurer Worth will today issue cir
cular letter to all county treasurers of
the State asking Them not to send in the
warrants for the pro rata part of the spe-
cial appropriation of 100000 to public
schools as the treasury is not in con-
dition to permit the payment of the war
rants at this time. The letter will say,
however, that by the time the schools
open for the fall term it will be possible
for the treasury to make the payments.
Treasurer Worth said yesterday i'm re-
ply to a question that if the warrants are
sent in at this time he will return them
to the county treaSurers. He added that
he would not pay any of the warrants
until the treasury is in condition to pay
all.
The auditors office was busy sending
out these warrants to the county treasur-
ers yesterday in accordance with the APP
portionment made by Superintendent Me-
bane, and furnished TO the auditor.
The reason for the delay in paying the
warrants is that very few sheriffs have
settled the taxes of their counties and
little of the revenue of 1899 has in conse-
duence come into the State treasury as
vet.

FREIGHTS ON PAPER.

Mr.. w. n. Jones, representing Ed
wards & Broughton, printers, appeared
before the Commission and asked that
book and newspaper be changed back
from class 2 of freights to class 6, as
heretofore.
Mr.. Seaman, of Durham; Samuel Hall,
of Wilmington; Dr. L. n. Ivey, of the
Raleigh Christian Advocate and Afford,
Bynum & Christophers, of Raleigh, join
cd in the complaint at the new rule of
the roads Mr. G. B. Edwards was in
troduced and said that paper which was
formerly shipped from Philadelphia for
81 cents now has to pay 10 cents per
hundred. The rate from other points
is proportionately higher
The Seaboard, Southern and Coast
Line merely said in reply that shippers
had been taking advantage of the for
mer rule to ship writing paper in pack
ages marked printing paper" and the
new rule was made to meet the sub
terfuge 1t is the custom to ship writ
ing paper in crates but to change its
class it was being shipped in bundles par
TALLY protected by boards, just as book
paper is shipped. The new rule is gen
eral. applying to all the States through
which the systems run, and is as fol-
lows:
Paper in bundles partially protected
by boards or strips shall be charged for
at rates applying on paper crates"
The Commission made no ruling, but
will probably order the old classified
ton and rate to be observed.
Atlanta firms are said to have been
responsible for the new rule, large guam
titles of paper having been shipped there
under false labels.

MEETING OF COMMISSION.
Tax on Express Co., and Freights on
Paper Considered.

The Corporation Commission met at
l D. m. yesterday. The first matter to
be considered was the tax on the South
ern Express Company under the act IF
1899. Mr.. G.. L. Loop, of Chattanooga.
traffic manager, and Mr.. w. j. Croswell,
of Wilmington, division superintendent
of the company, appeared before the Com
mission and asked for their construction
of the act. whether it applied this year
or next. The Commission construed rhe
act to apply to this year and the com
pany viii settle ON that basis. Tine new
law imposes tax of 2 per cent on gross
earnings and an adyalorem tax on
100000 of the capital stock of the com
pany in this State. The TAX on gross
earnings will yield $500 and the tax
on the capital stock an equal amount.
This is about the same as the company
paid last year. Apart from this it pays
a tax to the cities and counties.

Mr.. Rodgers devoted himself ex-
clusvely to national issues, and included
in his remarks the subjects of imperial
i'm, mlitarim and trusts. He remarked
that they were a sort of triune bogis
marking the hopless campaign the fol-
lowers of the false prophet of Ne
braska" are carrying on. The condition
of the country industrially and finan
cially during Cisveland's administration
was commented on and compared with
present conditions. The speaker did not
believe any thinking man would be will
ing to risk SO much where he could gain
so little even if he gained everything
promised.
Hon. j. F. Forbis resolved himself into
an oratorical Vesuvius and hurled verbal
lyddite and dynamite at the men who

DOWN IN MADISON COUNTY.
Virginia City Greets the Republican
Winners.

Special to the InterMomtain.
Virginia City, Nov. lone of the most
successful campaign meetings ever held
in this city took place last evening. The
speakers were Hons S. G. Murray
Frank Smith and James w. Freeman.
Standing room was at a premium and
at various times the speakers were inter-
rupted by the hearty and spontaneous
applause of their auditors.
Mr.. Murray, the first speaker, dealt
generally with national issues, but to.
wards the close of his address took a
whack or two at the boodlers and COR
ruptionists who have brought disgrace
upon the state. In discussing the escpan-
sion problem he drew attention to the
Louisiana, Alaska and Gadsden purchas-
es, and told the history of the admit
tance into the union of Texas and Cali.
forna. In none of these cases had the
consent of the governed cut any figure.
Imperialism was shown to be merely a
campaign bogie, and militarism the
dream of band of political children who
had been Enlightened by ghost stories.
The address of Mr.. Smith was local in
tenor and dealt chiefly with the allied
forces of boodling and corruption, He,
declared that all honest and decent citi-
zens of the state, without regard to par.
ty. owed it to themselves to vindicats
the name Of the state by casting their
ballots on November for the republican
party. Deserved tributes were paid to
Hon. David E. Folsom and Hon. Rudolph
Won Tobel, candidates respectively for
governor and associate justice of the
state supreme court He warned his
auditors that despite the falsity OF the
charges made against certain of the re-
publican candidates on both state and
county tickets. the campaign roorback
was still to be expected at any time, and
voters should be careful as to what they
believed, for the men behind the guns OF
fusionism were well supplied with the
shot and she'll OF untruth and deceit
Mr.. Freeman dealt with both local ana
national Issues. He showed that tao
trusts are, II anything. more to be blamed
. on the democrats than on the repubM.
cans. and that the prominent leaders OF
the democratic cohorts are at the heads
Of trusts. mentioning the cases Of Cot
ton Bale Trust Jones and lice Trust.,
Croker. He declared that . vote for the
