A. K. & n. RAILROAD
MAKES A DEAL,
Bonds..for So, 900, 900 Were
Filed in Knoxville
Recently.

The Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern
Railroad company last week filed in
Knoxville for record mortgage on its
road to secure bond issue of 81 900, 900.
The United States Trust Company, of
New York, is named as trustees. The
bonds are four per cent. gold and are to
retire 5 per cent. issue of 100000 of
December l, 1896, to make improve
ments along the line
The Atlanta Journal says: In re-
spouse to the inquiry as to whether the
Seaboard Air Line had made any ar
rangement whereby they had secured
the control of the Atlanta, Knoxville
and Northern, Mr. Spalding emphati-
cally declared that there was not the
slightest foundation for the report that
he had been directed by the president
of the company, Mr.. McHarg, to make
the positive statement that the Sea-
board not only had not purchased the
road but that there were no negotia-
tions under way having such purpose
in view.
Attorney Alex. Smith, of the law firm
of Smith, Hammond & Smith, who are
the legal representatives of the Atlanta,
Knoxville and Northern, was seen at
his office in the Prudential building
and said the filing of the mortgage was
simply part of the plan of the road
for the general reorganization Of the
financial system and that the 100000
issue Of bonds was for the improving Of
the road already in operation and the
extension Of the system in accordance
with what appeared to be the best in
terests of the company. He added that
under the terms of the mortgage the
sum of $4,000 mile was set apart for
the improvement of the present road
such as at Hiawassee, where the old
! switchback over the mountains had
been done away with, and $4,000 a
mile was set apart for the extension of
the road in such directions as would
calculate to improve the service.
In reply to the question aSto whether
the extensions contemplated under this
provision covered the plan for the en-
trance Of the road into Atlanta, he said
that while he supposed that was mat
ter which the future would probably
see accomplished, he was not prepared
to say that it was in immediate con-
! temptation.

ROANOKE ISLAND THE ONLY PLACE
The People are Deeply Interested and Promise
to Take Care of the Crowd

To the Editor: This propositions which

In view of the significant fact that
Roanoke Island is the identical spot upon
which these historical recollections clus-

OF the affair would entertain the absurd
notion TO carry the celebration TO any
other place.

and enterprising population as it is. then

Manteo is a town of about four hun

and women able to equip.
These people are willing to expend en-

success. There was mass meeting,

court house last night to discuss the diff
ferent phases connected with the pro-

seeming effort to change the locality, in

The Pamlico County Farmer Who Lost His
$500
(New Bern Journal.)

Another version is given of the story
of the loss of $500 by Mr. Ebert Phillips,
of Pamllco county, who went to New
York last week and had his money in
his satchel and upon his return. upon
opening his satchel, had the experience
of Old Mother Hubbard who went to
the cupboard to fetch the poor dog a
bone. Like that famous receptacle, the
satcheI was bare"
The revised version reported is, that
Mr.. Phillips had some correspondence
with some "flnanciers" of the metropolis
and the negotiations reached a point
that required his presence in New York.
His son accompanied him, and in fact,
it is said that the young man had con
Quoted the negotiations, which were of
a somewhat delicate and diplomatic
character The money was raised on a
mortgage on Mr.. Phillips property near
Wilkinson Point, on Neuse river, and
the lump sum deposited in a satchel.
whereupon the journey was made to
New York with expedition and safety.
The rendezvous was in one of the
great city sky scrapers, but the Pamli-

bills were shown TO the visitors, each
roll said to contain $4,000 in bills and
