The Auditorium Meeting

To the Editor: The directors Of the
Auditorium Company have called meet
ing of the stockholders for Thursday
night, October 18TH foT a stock vote as
to the selection Of site for an audito-
rum This is what should be, and what
I proposed at the last meeting but with
drew it by request, as I did not care to
throw any obstacle in the way of securing
an auditorium Now this Thursday night
meeting is an important one, and should
be attended by every stockholder in per-
son.
| only write this to call attention to
the fact that proxies heretofore held, and
but for which, we would not have ever
been able to organize the company, are
of no more effect as they were for a
certain meeting and adiournments there
of which is at an end. All new proxies
will have to have a 10c revenue stamp
on same, as the company is now an in
corrcratcd one; so it is very important
that all stockholders should be present
Those not taking enough interest in it to
attend in person can put on a 10c stamp
and hand to q epresentativc-thei
proxy. If a majority of the subscribed
stock is not represented no meeting can
be held, so ii is the simple plain duty
of every stakeholder who honestly wants
to see an auditorium built, to be on hand
and my only object in calling attention
to this fact is to try and get them to
do so.
Very truly

A GRAND EXHIBITION
The Fair Ground Illuminated
With Fireworks.
The Midway The Largest Aggregation of At
fractions Ever Brought Together in
The South.

The State Fair will Guido itself next
week in the way of costly free exhibition
The balloon ascensions by Prof Leach,
with his mammoth aerial ship by day, and
the gorgeous Illuminated monster at
night, will be one of the grandest free
attractions ever presented by any fair
association, North or South.
The display of works from an as
cending balloon will be a sight never be-
fore seen in this State
The trapeze performance that will be
given daily in front of the grand stand,
will eclipse all efforts of this kind ever
made in this country The artist Sc
cured for this feature of entertainment
at considerable cost, ranks among the
most skilled in the country
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will
in addition to many other attractions, be
the days for. the great Interstate Gun
Contest. Special rates have been secured
by the railroad associations to accomO
date all who take part in the tournament,
which will include Charleston, New Or
leans, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Richmond
ana other points out Of the State.
The racing will be the best ever seen
in the State, as the entries already made
are sufficient to secure the fastest speed
ever made on a North Carolina track. The
grounds and race course are in perfect
condition and all has been done by liberal
purses and otherwise to make this fea-
ture the most notable in the history of
the fair
The Town of Shows or Midway. will be
the largest aggregation of attractions
ever brought together in any State in
the South.
The Fair will certainly be opened at
night, beginning Tuesday. The charges
will be only half rate at night. Owing
to the greatly increased expense of illum-
mating the grounds at night, the mana
gers positively state, that no life mem
Der or other free tickets will be good at
night. Only half-rate night tickets will
admit to the grounds.
Yesterday greatly increased the already
fine prospects for grand success of the
Fair this year. From now on to the
opening day the managers will have their
hands full in getting ready for this, the
biggest Fair ever held in the State.

WILL PROVE A BOOMERANG.
Mckinley Will Lose Votes by Needless Arrest
of Democratf.

The news of the arrests of promi-
nent citizens in Johnston county, by
the United States authorities, for al
legged intimidation of voters, has cauS-
ed a sensation throughout the State.
and further developments in these
eases will be watched with great inter
est.
1t is learned that the number of ar
rests made is about fifty and the list
of names includes many of the most
prominent men in the county.
The trial of these men is set for
Monday, October goth, before United
States Commissioner j. d. Parker. of
Smithtield, and John Nichols, of Raj
eigh. Parker, as already stated is the
Republican county chairman and the
man who had the Governor call out
the military company here and keep
them under arms during the August
election.
October goth promises to be great
trial day in Smithtield. On that day
Mr.. Simmons speaks there, and q
great crowd will be present, as the
people of the county are already thor
oughly aroused over the arrests.
1t is expected that District Attorney
bernard Will ne present. " IlooSN'''N'
and for the defence there Will be q
brilliant array of counsel. Among
them are: Col. Thos. NJ. Argo. Col.
John W. Hinsdale. w. {. Douglas. f. H.
Busbee and James II. Pon. all of this
city.
Col. John A. Maroon. OF Smlthfield
who is here attending Supreme court
said Yesterday:
Mckinley will lose many votes in
Johnston county on account of the alb
sence of p T. Massey, who was a reccg-
nized leader of the Republicans-he has
no strong successor. Another reason OF
this loss of Mckinney votes will be at
tributabie to the unprecedented and
needless arrest Of many of our best cltl-
Zens of Johnston county, by the marshal.
under warrants issued by the United
States Commissioner"
Continuing, Mr.. Maroon said con-
corning the political outlook:
Johnston county will give BRYAN and
Stevenson between / SEQ and 1900 major
ity. Mr. E. w. Pou, who is a favorite
among the people of his county, will, he
thinks. get q majority of 1000 to 1890.
The people of Johnston will vote for him
regardless of politics"

The Corporation Commission
VS.. S. A. [. Railway.
FFRTUlztR RATE CASE
FERTILIZER RATE CASE
Has the Commission the Right to Fix
the Minimum Car Load?
TIE CASE NOW BEFORE SUPREME COURT
The Decrease Of Minimum is Of Advantage to
Smaller Fertilizer Dealers, Allowing
Them to Get Small Quantities
al Car. Load Rates.
at Car Load Rates.

\ case comes up in the Supreme
court this morning that has attracted
widespread interest through the State
1t is the case of the Corporation Com
mission. of North Carolina against the
Seaboard Air Line Railway. The
question at issue is whether the Cor
poration Commission has the right to
fix the minimum or maximum
carload. 1t is known as the "Fertilizer
Rate Case" and grew out of Circular
No. /" issued by the Corporation Com
mission on May 18th, 1899. This cir
cular fixes the rate to be charged on
fertilizer in carload lots, and allowing
twenty per cent additional on ship
ments OF less than carload lots. This
circular also established a minimum
carload of ten tons, reducing the same
from fifteen tons.
Objections were made to the circular
by the three larger railway
systems, viz: the Southern Railway.
the Atlantic Coast Line and the Sea
board Air Line railways. The roads
We're given hearing but their obiec-
tiOnS were overrulod and the rates
were established.
The Seaboard Air Line system APP
pealed to the Superior court from the
Commissions decision in the matter.
and the case was tried before Judge
Fred Moore, at Pittsboro, in Novem-
Der, 1899, and a decision was rendered
sustaining the ruling of the Commits
SIGN. From this an appeal was taken
to the Supreme court and on yesterday
the case was called. though the court
arose before the argument commenced.
1t will be the first case argued this
morning.
Capt. Day, Mr.. j. b. Bachelor and
Maj. Shaw represent the Seaboard
and Messrs. Simmons, Pou and Ward
and Il. IL. Battle represent the Com
mission. The case has been holly con-
tested and the decision OF the court is
awaited with interest.
The rates and condition set out in
Circular No. l. were established ON the
petition of the State Board of Agricul-
ture and the Farmers Alliance. The
decreasing the minimum carload from
fifteen to ten tons is said to favor
the small dealers, as many who can
handle ten tons cannot handle fifteen,
and Ihey VIII mus get tHelr leFtlilZeT
III carload rates.
The railroads concede in every in
stance save that of the Raleigh and
GastCn and SeabCard and Roanoke
Railways that the Commission has the
right to say what rate shall be paid,
but deny that they have right to
prescribe what they shall carry as
carload.
In the case of the two roads above
mentioned. they deny that the Cor
roration Commission has the right to
fix the rate, as the right is given TO
them by their charter, which was
granted. prior to the Constitution of
1865 which allows the charter of cor
poration TO be amended or altered by
the Legislature. 1t is an interesting
case and one that closely effects the
agricultural interests of the State.
