BETRAYAL

Out o. the chilling rain and fog
That hid the mountain from our sight
A dusky cloud came floating down
Al early dawn of light.
The cloud dropped softly 10 the lake
Amid a sound Of whirring wings
lJd spread into a graceful line
host of living things
We hailed this burst q Joyous life;
The sunless day seemed dark no more.
When suddenly a shot rang out
Ald echoed round the shore.
The waterfowl were natures guests,
But they were doomed, and all that day
The shots pealed forth, and on The waves
The dead and dying lay.
At last into the brooding mist
There vanished. softly as it came.
A broken hock. with plumage torn,
After that day Of shame.

To Inspect and Weigh Freight.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PreSS.)
Atlanta Ga, June 18.-The Southern
Weighing and Inspection Bureau, in
Which all the principal railroads south
of the Potomac and Ohio rivers and
east of the Mississippi have member
ship, was formed here today. The pur-
pose of the bureau is to inspect and
weigh freight offered the various roads
to protect the latter against dishonest
shippers and to protect honorable mer-
chants against false weights on the
merchandise consigned to them.
1t has been the custom heretofore in
the South for the roads to accept the
weights and classifications given by
the shippers. Many shippers give cor
rect weights and proper descriptions
but others did not.
Boxes and packages which are be-
lieved to contain goods different from
the statement of the shipper will be
opened.
H. w. Wolf, of the Nashville Chat
tanooga and ot. Louis Railroad, was
made manger with headquarters in At

A MAGNIFICENT AUTOMOBILE.
Mr.. Hillyer Brings Thousand Dollar Road
ster to Raleigh.

Raleighs first automobile has traversed
the streets.
The carriage is a magnificent one, and
is the property of Mr.. E. g. Hillyer, OF
Newport News. who is associated with
Mr.. T. L. Eberhardt in the control of
the Raleigh Electric and Ice Company
Mr.. and Mrs. Hillyer reached the city
Sunday and brought the automobile with
them.
The automobile is built for two. 1t has
the appearance of a carriage and is not
cumbersome. The machine is run by
fasoline and weighs 1000 pounds, the
cost being $1,000 The steering appara-
tus is easily managed by the rider on the
right who grasps the horizontal lever
just in front of him. His right foot is
against the brake and his left rests upon
an electric gong connection. The wheels
of the vehicle are 2S-inch pneumatic tired,
bicycle spoked. A slanting mirror at the
right front keeps in plain view the water
guage to the boiler and brilliant side
lights make bright for a night ride.
The machine is easily controlled and has
a speed of about 25 miles an hour. 1t is
modern in every part and gives one de-
lightfui ride. 1t can be seen at Robbins
Livery stable where it is housed.
Mr.. Hillyer will use the automobile be-
tween Raleigh and Milburnie, where the
plant of the electric company is being in
stalled. and which it is hoped to complete
within the next two months.

NO EXTRA SESSION
Gov. Aycock Defends the
New Revenue Act.
Has No Reason 10 Believe That the Legislature
Would Change the Act if Called To-
gether in Txtra Session.

Yesterday Governor Aycook notified the
Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce that
no extraordinary session of the Legisla-
ture would be called. The resolutions
from Fayetteville asking that the extra
session be held to pass new revenue act
We're sent to Governor Aycock, hence his
reply.
The letter is addressed to F. r. Rose,
Esq, secretary, Fayetteville, N. c., and
reads as follows:
Dear Sir: / received your telegram
sending me a copy of the resolution
passed by the Chamber of Commerce of
Fayetteville.
II have carefully studied the Revenue
Act, passed by the Legislature, and ! am
satisfied that your people will not feel so
strongly against the Act when they have
complied with it's provisions. The Legisv
lature was confronted with the problem of
raising larger revenue to meet the ex-
pcnditures to be made for charity and
education. OF course the burden of this
taxation will be felt by the people pay
ing it, but it is a necessary burden, and
is distributed as well as the Legislature
could distribute it.
THE Revenue Act is not an ideal one
it contains several novel provisions,
though there is nothing radical in it. At
any rate that Act was the result of the
most careful and painstaking study on the
part of the Finance Committee of both
houses, and it represents the wisdom Of
the General Assembly.
II have no reason to believe that the
Legislature would change that Act if
called together. Indeed they could not
make serious changes in it without leav-
ing the Treasury bankrupt, or being
forced to issue bonds, neither of which
condition would the people of the State
contemplate with complacency. l feel my
self, therefore, compelled TO advise you,
aud through you the Chamber of Com
merce of Fayetteville, that the Legisla-
ture will not be called together in ex-
traordinary session for the purpose OF
amending the Revenue Act.
''am, with great respect for you
personally, and those whom you represent,
Every truly yours,

Address to Pressmen's Association.

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, June 1S.-F'rederick DGss-
coll, commissioner of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
made an address before the Interna-
tional Printing Pressmen's Convention
today.
He urged the adoption of arbitration
for the settlement of all differences, the
practice of Cancellation in making new
scales and the right of the publishers,
representatives to be heard on all pro-
posed changes in the laws affecting
their interests, saying that all these
measures of relief had been granted by
the International Typographical Union.
1t was decided that the pressmen
would not hereafter join any State ma
tional guard organization on ground that
they do not believe in utilizing that
power in strikes and that they have no
sympathy with State interference in
labor troubles.
