Of paper from Pennsylvania.
1t is high time the business of every
Southern city should organize and make a
determined fight to secure a reduction
in the present exorbitant freight rates
tina constitute the heaviest tax upon
business enterprises. They should prose-
cute the matter with the same determi-
| nation and business sense that they dis
play in- their private business. If they
will do this they will be able, independ-
ent of legislation, to right some wrongs,
and when they show the true situation
they will be able to bring such pressure
to bear upon Congress as to compel it to
give the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion power to fix rates. With that pow
er, in wise hands, acting in concert with
honest and capable State Commissioners,
relief could be had from exorbitant rates
that seriously menace business and manu-
featuring operations in this and other
Southern States.

TWO GOODS REFORMS

The Atlanta Journal, in an elaborate
had a stormy session, gives two in
stances of wise action which are to be
commended. We quote:
THE Legislature determined, by an
overwhelming vote, to add franchises to
the list of taxable property in Georgia;
deciding thereby that the franchise which
the State has given a corporation and on
which it issues and sells stocks and bonds,
oftentlmes to a greater amount than it
could issue on its physical property, is
as much a species of property as any
thing else that a corporation owns-and,
therefore, taxable.
Last, but by no means least, we are
glad that this Legislature turned it's
back on the professional lobby which has
for so long infested our State capitol;
debating or attempting to dictate to the
mon whom the people, by their ballots,
have sent here to represent and lcgis-
late for them, without interference or
persuasion or intimidation We are
pleased, we say, that the Legislature
said to these lobbyists, you are not
needed here; We'll attend to the peoples
business Without your constant chaperon-
age; we refuse to be guided or dictated
to by you-you may as we'll adjourn your
third house"
North Carolina, like Georgia, has been
cursed by the persistent self appointed
chaperonage of paid lobbyists. They have
infested the State capitol like a plague
Of flies since the Legislature Of 1895. The
time has come to be rid of them. Let
North Carolina legislators initiate Geor-
gia and toll them to be gone.

STOLE MONEY FROM
FELLOW BOARDBR
Supposed Contractor Proves
to be Clever Burglar
Man Who Stole $50 From William
Enneking May be Same Chester
Authorities Arrested

A clever swindler or burglar has
been working in This city, and made
his escape with a considerable amount
Iof money On Monday morning last a
lstrange man called at No. ll44 East
Twelfth street. at the home or Thomas
Ryan. who Keeps a few boarders. He
had been inquiring in the neighborhood
for Ryan's, and seemed very anxious to
find the house. The stranger gave no
name. but said he was a contractor
on the elevated railroad going through
uhe city, and he would like to engage a
room. Ms. Ryan gave him a room
land showed him to IL. Tine stranger
then went out and said he was going to
get his trunk.
Shortly after that Mrs. Ryan had oc-
casion to 90 out, leaving no one in the
house, except her little girl Mrs.
Ryan had been gone but a short time,
according to the child, when the sup
posed contractor returned and entered
the house. He told the girl that he
was going up to his room to make q
place for his trunk, which would be
there in a few moments
Mrs. Ryan boards two or three other
men. and among them is William En-
neking. a builder i'm the carshOps OF
The American Car and Foundry Com
pany. Mr.. Ennekings room was near
that given to the stranger when he
Iasked for board. He had about S55
in his ROOM The wOuld-be bOarder
Instead of going TO his own room, went
to Ennel1ing's and searched it. He
found the 500 and put it in his pocket
and then left the house, and has not
lbeen heard OF since.
Enneking never saw the man, and
cannot imagine how he knew he had
the money. None of the other rooms
was entered and this led him to be-
llieve that some one had told the
stranger he had the money
When Mr. Ennel1ing was seen today
She said he could not identify the man
las he had never seen him, but Mrs.
Ryan told him the man looked like q
gentleman. He was well-dressed, ap
lpeared to be about 90 years of age, ant
weighed about 1S0 pounds.
The same man had engaged board OF
Mrs. Black at Thirteenth and Clay
! mont streets. but did not return there
The description Mrs. Ryan gave OF
the man tallies with that of the mar
who swindled several hotel people anC
. stores in this city on Monday, and who
hired a carriage from John T. Knott'
and drove to Chester, and tried to sell
the team there.
