new LEASE ASKED
LEADS TO RALEIGH
Still They Seek the A. & N.
G.. Railroad.
OVER 3 PER CENT NOW
kessrs. Mills and finlsy:on Have Increased
Their Offer for The Lease of the
States Road to The
Coast,

With the first proposition declined. Mr.
w. w. Mills, of Raleigh, and Mr.. H. L.
Finlayson, of Goldsboro, and others un-
known are still after the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad.
They have made new proposition and
it is in the hands of Governor Aycock, AS
to every feature of it there is more or less
guess work for nothing has been given
out from the Governors office. What is
known about the proposed lease has come
either from the parties at interest or their
friends
The changes from the first proposition
is understood to be an increase In the
per cent. of rental and a definite proposal
to extend the road west of Goldsboro for
between fifty and sixty miles The per
per cent again offered is a graduated one
but 1t averages small figure above three
per cent. for fifty year lease. while the
first offer made, after revisal, was two
and half per cent.
The proposition is understood to be two
per cent. for fifteen years, three per cent
for the next fifteen years. and four per
cent. for the final twenty years, making
an average rental of three and one-tenth
per cent. year. It is not known wheth-
this graduated scale will remain as the
bid, or whether again fiat rate will be
offered
But here is an interesting feature of the
bid. 1t does not contain in it the possible
objective point of the extension of fifty
or sixty miles west from Goldsboro. but
it Is said that this point is ultimately to
be Raleigh. though the extension proposed
would start near Goldsboro and go north
of the present North Carolina Railroad to-
wards Fremont and then west across the
country towards Youngsville, and then in
to Raleigh. 1t is further said that the bid
ders for the road have in view the build
ing of a spur TO Wilson.
This extension. it is said, will then give
to the people of Raleigh a straight trip
to Morehead without change of cars, and
with the spur would be of advantage to
Wilson if the lease is made on the basis
asked The extension, while not parallel
ing the North Carolina Road exactly
take in much territory now covered by it
between Raleigh and Goldsboro.
All these things do not appear in the
lease, but they will probably be made
known to the directors, who are to meet
on the oath, and who will at that time
learn from President Bryan's report of the
condition, needs and outlook for the At
lantic and North Carolina Railorad.

Chronic DiarIhoea of Nine
Years Standing Cured by
the Use of Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy.

For nine long years I suffered from
chronic diarrhoea, which weakened me
down greatly My weight went from 49,
pounds to 81. l got so I could not do
any work, but could sit up little For
twelve months lived on sweet milk and
bread. If 1 ate anything else it would
start the bowels to troubling me, from
four to ten times a day. My doctor said
1 would never get well; 1 might get bet
ter but my bowels would always be my
weak point that would cause me trouble
when 1 would take cold. Seeing Mrs.
Persons advertisement on the South Bos-
ton bridge, l wrote to her and stated my
case. She said she did not think there
was any doubt of her Remedy curing me.
l commenced it and soon l could eat and
drink anything 1 wanted, except butter
milk. 1 took % bottles, which made a
perfect cure of me, and I gradually re-
gained my weight until 1 again weighed
16S pounds. 1t has been seven years
since l was cured, and I am now perfect
ly well. 1 had a baby that was born with
a bowel trouble which nothing would
reach He was born in May and in July
he had bad boil which he suffered from
for six months. I didn't know Mrs Per-
sons Remedy could be used on so young
a baby, so I wrote to her. She advised its
use. Before he had taken bottle the
bowel trouble was cured and also the
boil, which the doctor said threatened to
be a serious trouble as it was so obstinate
and lasted so long.

To The Public.

There has been some criticism by
the uniformed public on account
of our putting an extension on our
poles on the Levee pike. This was
not done to cause trou BILE to the
Eastern Kentucky Telephone Co.,
but we recognized the necessity of
providing more cross arms to give
good service to our subscribers,
and, as there was no room lower
down, on account of our short poles,
we had to hold space for poles five
feet taller, lea Sing still plenty of
room for the other company above
our wires.
