jumped and just in time to save him
self. The wagon and harness were
utterly destroyed. but the horse was
not injured, but he was badly frighten-

before he was caught.

was stopped, and the passengers went
back and viewed the wreck. The frag-

ground and the cans denied and mash

TO BE KEPT SEPARATE.
The Taxes Derived from Property and Hal
Tax, and Taxes Paid by Different Races.

Mr.. S. F. Mordecai, the attorney for
the Wake county Board of School Di-
rectors, went before the Board of
County Commissioners at their recent
meeting and called their attention
to a requirement in the Machinery
Act. relative to the form in which the
account of taxes collected shall be
kept.
The law requires the County Super
visor to show in his report the amount
of the school fund derived from poll
tax and the amount derived from
property tax. This, however, Mr..
Clements was unable to do, as these
items had not been kept separate.
The act to which Mr. Mordecai call
ed the attention Of the board is in
Section thirty, of the Machinery Act
of 1899. 1t reads as follows: "Such
form shall show in a separate column
the total amount of school poll tax.
levied by the General Assembly and
the county authorities. and by each
tax payer, and the total amount of
property school tax levied by the Gen
eral Assembly, and the county author
tiles, due by each tax payer"
BY this means it will be possible,
not only to tell the amount derived
from poll and property tax respective
ly, but the amount paid by each OF
the races.
While this is valuable only as a
matter of statistics, still the method
prescribed by law should be followed.
as much valuable information may be
gained by a comparison of the amount
of income the school derives from the
different sources. and the Legislators
may be able to legislate on the sub
iect much more Understandings and
definitely.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Mr.. l.. B. Clegg, of Carthage, was
in the city yesterday. He says that Mr..
b. X. Lacy, next treasurer of North
Carolina, made a great speech to a
large crowd at Carthage Monday
night, and that on the 18th the good
people of thatgtOwn are going to give
Aycock the largest. erowdIo ever as1
sembled in Moore county, aud elect the
whole Democratic ticket by a good
majority.
There will be a melting of the White
Supremacy club. of the First Division
of the Second Ward. Thursday even
ing, in the Mayors office at 8:15
o'clock. All members are requested to
be on hand and bring as many new
members as possible, as important
business will be transacted.
"On Saturday night at the ALBANIA
haw, in Alamance county, Lieut.. Gov.
Reynolds, in a joint debate with Mr..
w. C. Douglas, got roasting he will
not soon forget" said Mr.. A. j. Field
yesterday. There was large and en-
thusiastic crowd present, and as Doug
las would score point after point the
crowd would go wild with delight.
Gov. Reynolds made a passable
speech from the Republican stand
point, but Mr. Douglas simply demol-
ished him.
Much of Gov. Reynolds's speech was
devoted to national politics and in
magnifying the alleged good deeds
of his party in the State. Among
others things he told of the glory his
party had reflected on itself by erect
ing a magnificent building in Raj
eigh for the white deaf dumb and
blind. When Douglas came on to re-
ply. he said: yes, you built a nice
building there, but you put yaller
nigger's name on the corner stone
and it remained for a Democratic
Legislature to wipe out this disgrace
Then it was that the applause was
widest"
Mr.. Douglas and Mr.. Alex J. Fields
had been invited to address the people
at the above time and place and were
surprised when they found that Lieut..
Gov Reynolds was billed for the same
time and place. They, however, ask
ed a joint debate and the Republicans
agreed AS there was not enough
time for all three to speak, Mr.. Field
gave way and Mr.. Douglas and Gov.
Reynolds had the limit debate as above
stated.

BOARD OF TRADE
Of Louisville Passes Through En Route
 to Cuba

A party, consisting of nineteen repre- sentative members of the Louisville Board of Trade and six ladies, passed through Birmingham yesterday morning over the Louisville and Nashville, route for Cuba, stopping here for breakfast. The party traveled in a luxuriously appointed special car. on the sides of which appeared the legend, "Louisvile Board of Trade and each member of the party wore a Board or Trade badge. Had the Birmingham Board of Trade been advised of the com ing of the Louisville tourists a committee would in all probability have met them. H. c. Orem, secretary of the Birmingham body, however, happened to be at the rail- way station, and showed the party atten- tien, which, was duly appreciated.
 7, In the party were Marion Elliott Taylor and Mrs. Taylor; Charles l.. Nelson, man ager of the Fidelity and Casualty company; John J. Telford, secretary of the transpor- tation committee, and Morton V. Joyes
 MT. Taylor is a member of the Wright Taylor Distilling company.
 These members of the Louisville Board of Trade will viist Cuba for the purpose of Hooking over the island from a commercial point of view and establishing business con- nections which they think will be advant- ageous to Louisville interests. They go direct to Havana by way of Tampa. They will remain in Cuba about two weeks and will return by the way of Atlanta.

NEW PHASE OF THE
 EAST & WEST CASE
Modified Decree Practically Ends
 the Litigation.
THE KELLYS IN CONTROL
Road Will Undoubtedly be Extended Into Birmingham During the Year z@' K. c. and Seaboard Air
 Line Are Interested

Litigation over the East and West Rail- road company of Alabama is about end ed, and it is entirely probable that the road will, in the near future, be extended ito Bir- mingham. The suit between the Browning Brothers and the Kelly estate for the con trol of the road, which has been pending In the Alabama courts for the past five or six years, will probably be finally disposed of within the next few weeks
 In the latter part of last December the supreme court of Alabama rendered a de- cree to the effect that on the payment of about $7OO,OOO to the Kelly. estate by the Brownings the latter should come into pos session of S9.100 of the capital stock of the company. In this decree the Kellys were not allowed interest on the $60O,000 of re- ceiver's certificate from April, 1893, the date on which they acquired control of the property motion for a new hearing was filed with the supreme court by the Kellys, through their attorney, A. T. London of this city, and on the re-hearing the former de- cree was modified so as to require the pay ment of interest on the receivers eertih- cates during the period excluded in the first decree. This additional interest would bring the whole amount the Brownings would have to pay up to about $1,3O0,000. If they should pay this amount they would then own 89 100 of the stock of the road
 1t is understood that this revision of the decision practically hands the Fast and West over to the Kellys
 The Kellys, 1t is reported some. time ago made a deal with the banking house of Lee, Hfgginson & Co., of Boston, by which the East ands West was to be transferred to that company, the consideration being fixed at $1,250O00 Lee, Higgnson & Co.,, it is understood, represent the Seaboard Air Line, and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad companies
 The Kansas City, Memphis and Birming- ham company had its engineers make an inspection of sthe East and West three or four years ago, and, 1t is stated, on re- ceiving their report declined to consider any proposition looking to the purchase of the road. It. is believed now, however, that the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming- ham company is ready to join the Seaboard Air Line ip the purchase of the road, the two companies to operate it jointly or to organize it as an independent line to be used as a feeder for both. The latter plan is looked upon by local railroad men as the one most likely to be adopted by the two big companies.
 That the East and West will be extended into Birmingham this year now seems to be settled fact, though those in a position to know will make no statement bearing on the matter for publication.
