Gov. Aycock in Norfolk

The Norfolk papers speak in terms Of
high praise of the speech of Governor
Aycock at the great meeting to inaugu-
rate practical work for the Jamestown
Exposition OF the speech the Landmark
says:
AT the conclusion of Governor Mon
tague's speech Judge Watts introduced
Governor Aycock of North Carolina. The
reception rendered Governor Aycock was
long continued and enthusiastic, and ii
was several minutes after he reached the
center of the platform before ne could be
heard above the din of his reception.
when, finally it was possible for him
to make himself heard, he announced with
a countenance of perfect gravity and with
the true North Carolinian drawl THE
Down Homers are here, and when the
laughter following the remark had ceased,
said: 81 am going Down Home tomor-
row morning, to that dear land where
Virginia Dare was born, while John ST/'Sl
was still a seven-year-old boy in Eng
land
Governor Aycock's speech was as witty
as the audience had expected from the
famously witty Chief Executive of North
Carolina, but was also full of eloquence
and much sound sense and gratifying as
surance of the practical support of the
Old North State

once to the Supreme Court, and as soon
as the case is docketed a request Will be
made to have it advanced. We Will ap-
peal all along the line against the decision
| of Judge Allen, and our contention Will
be the same as that presented in the hear
I ing before Judge Allen"
The decision of Judge Allen makes 1t
very clear that he considers the proper
court before which the alleged illegality
and discrimination complained of should
be heard is the State Tax Commission.
In this view the plaintiffs attorneys do
not concur. as they argued against this
before Judge Allen a week ago, while the
defendants counsel argued that it was
the proper tribunal.
But Judge Aliens order goes further
than mere reference to the Tax Com
mission. He says plainly that he is OF
the opinion that the plaintiffs are not
entitled to the relief prayed for II
Will be direct reversal of the decision
of Judge Allen that will be sought be-
fore the Supreme Court by the plaintiffs,
but the defendant county and city attor-
neys are confident that it will not be
granted, and that in the proceedings con-
templated there will be no further trouble
for the county and the city in the collec-
tior of taxes.
The histor-, of the case is well known,
beginning as it did when the news of the
increased value of real estate in Raleigh
township had been made public and con-
tinuing through various stages till an liz
junction was secured a few weeks ago
from Judge PEBBLES restraining the col
lection of taxes. the case being heard By
Judge w. R. Allen, of Goldsboro, in Raj.
eigh last Saturday, having been transfer
red to him from Judge Ferguson, who waa
neither the resident judge nor the judge
riding the district. The case was set for
hearing at Mocksville last Monday, but
by consent was heard here last Saturday.
The case has been notable one in local
history. The parties alleging that the as,
sessment of property was too high, made
vigorous fight before the Board of
Equalization and some few changes were
made. Then came charges of the illegality
of the appointment OF two of the asses
sors, Messrs. C. D. Arthur and A. e.
Glenn. while discrimination and favoritism
was freely talked about. DISPOSITIONS were
taken before Commissioner John w. Hins-
dale, Jr., and the questions and replies
were of the hot order. this being follow
ed by the holly contested injunction case
before Judge Allen when all the charges
made were denied.
In the conduct of this case representing
the county were County Attorney Bart N.
Calling, Solicitor Armistead Jones. Col.
T. NJ Argo, while City Attorney Watson
represented the city, and &e5srs. G. M.
Busbee, R. H. Battle. w. j. Peele, S. F..

DIRECTORS WERE 'DUKMIEs f"
More Interesting Developments in the ship
building Company Investigation.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct. 15-The entire time at
todays hearing of the United States Ship
building Company investigation before
Referee Ohphant, was given up to the
taking Of testimony covering the incorpor-

as incorporators or directors of the Ship.
building combination were called to the
stand and examined at length as to the
circumstances under which they served
the promoters of the enterprise.
Frederick Seward, who had served as a
director, was questioned for three hourss
the inquiry covering his connection with
the company from the time Alexander &
Green asked him to serve as a director
until he resigned when the permanent Of
ficers were elected. His stay on the stand
was prolonged because he would not adj
nit that he was mere dummy" acting
under the orders of the counsel of the
company He held that he had used his
independent judgment in voting on the
many important questions determined by
the directorate, when he, Louis Daley
and Harold Newman, of the Corporation
Trust Company, were the three members
of it.
Samuel Unternlyer, counsel for the
bondhclders, questioned him at length
with the object Of showing that he had
not paid for the share of stock that he
held that he knew nothing of the value
of the properties acquired by the votes of
himself and his associates, and that every
thing done by the directorate was at the
instance of counsel and the mere formal
carrying out of orders. Seward admitted
that he did not know the location of the
plant nor the character of the business
of the Harlan Hollingsworth Company,
Moore e Sons, and the Canada Company,
and said that he was under the impression
that the Bethlehem plant was located at
Homestead. Seward and the other tenn
porary directors acted upon the increase

of securities to the amount of 81 geo 000

intention to attack the validity Of all
those transactions.
1t is claimed that the original directors
were simply dummies, and that while
the forms of the law were closely followed
at all of the meetings, none of the di-
rectors was properly holder of stock
and that none of their acts was of legal
value.

COAL WILL STAY UP
Prices Locally Likely to Re-
main as They Are.
That is the General Opinion Of The Dealers in
the Cii, ---Pfesent Prices SO and Sc

News and< Observer reporter yester-
day called on the various coal dealers of
the city with a view to learning what
the prospects were for the price of coal
during the coming winter.
The general consensus of opinion is
that prices will remain much the same
as they are now, $500 a ton for anthra-
cite, and $500 for bituminous. This is
80 TO 70 cents higher than before the
long strike.
Mr.. Jesse Jones said that there was no
supply except in the nut and pea
sizes. He looks for no change in the
price this winter unless there should
more trouble.
Mr.. John S. Johnson said that later II
the season they usually get about 50
cents more on the ton than at this time.
Plenty of coal is being offered, he says,
and the producers are glad 20 sell it.
In some of the anthracite regions, how
ever, operations are being stopped rather
than reduce the price. H does not think
the price will remain as high as it is
through another spring and summer, I'M
less there is more labor trouble. His
firm has delivered more coal up to this
time than ever before at this season.
Mr. T. C. Powell also said that a great
many of the larger orders were already
filled. He thinks that more wood will
be consumed again this season, as was
the case last year.

APPETITES.
A Well Known Druggist Explains How Vinol
Creates a Desire for Food.

''Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known said Mr.. King,
of the W. H. King Drug Co.
1T contains all of the active, medicinal
curative elements that are found in cod
liver oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act 50 ia
vorably upon the stomach that this organ
obtains for itself khe elements necessary
for creating new flesh, muscle tissue, and
for making rich, red blood
when the stomach acts easily and ma
turally, desire is created for good,
simple food, and good appetite IS the
sure result.
with cod liver oil in its old torm, the
medicinal elements which it contained
were unable to do their best work be-
cause of the obnoxious oil that enveloped
them.
Now in Vinol we have those same me-
dicinal elements separated from the vile
tasting oil, and we have a comic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
1--WE want every one in Raleigh to know
more about our Vinol, how it cures and
what it cures. Certainly Vinol is the
greatest tonic and rebuilder we have ever
sold.
Lack of appetite is not Itself dis
ease, but symptom of weakness showing
itself in the nerves of the stomach, which
control the desire for good. We guarantee
Vinol will cule this weakness or give
back your money" w. H. King Drug
Company.

Wainwright has done with Cesario. into
