We WILL WIN
THE BOND SUIT
Attorney General GiImer
Tells of the Great Case.
THE COURT IMPRESSED
The Presentation Of the Facts as 10 How South
DakotaAcquired the Bonds Seemedto Inter
est the Judges More Than Any
thing Else.

The Attorney General, who returned
to the city yesterday from Washington,
was asked by a reporter of the News
and Observer regarding the argument in
the South Dakota case, and the probable
result, and in reply said: The extracts
from the briefs for the State of North
Carolina printed in the News and 90
server show our position in the matter.
developed the facts relied upon by us
to show that the assignment of the ten
bonds to South Dakota, and upon which
she sues, was a contrivance to create in
her favor a fictitious ground of Federal
jurisdiction. Early in the argument the
court seemed to be impressed with the
Importance Of the case and extended the
time usually allowed for oral argument.
I can say that North Cardinals conten-
tions were we'll presented. Mr. Roun-
tree and Judge Shepherd made splendid
arguments covering every phase of the
question. The presentation of the facts,
particularly those showing that the dom
ors of the ten bonds assigned to South
Dakota retained an interest in the mat
ter, and therefore concerned in the de-
termination of the questions involved
and parties to the suit did not seem to
create in the mind of the court an i'm
preston favorable to the jurisdiction. l
have no hesitation in saying that l am
profoundly convinced that the Supreme
Court of the United States will not lay
down the doctrine that one State of this
Union can acquire title to the bonds of
another in the manner that South Da-
kota has done. and use the legal title
thus acquired as a vehicle for the pur-
poses of acquiring standing in the
court
81 he'd an opportunity of examining
the outlines of Judge Merrimon's argu-
ment, and had further discussion been
deemed necessary, his speech would have
been powerful presentation of our con-
tentions'
To the laymind of the reporter, the
above observations seen to justify him in
saying, 1--WE will win"

Trinity Glee Club Saturday Night.

The Trinity College Glee Club will
give a concert in the Olivia Raney Lib
rary Hall Saturday evening next Their
visit to Raleigh is looked forward to by
many with great deal Of pleasure as the
press comments on their performance in
Durham have been exceeding favorable
The club if composed of over twenty men
and is assisted by male quartette, reader
and soloists.
The Glee Club (proper) is the fea-
tUre and the instrumental music, while
more varied Many of the songs sung by
the Glee Club are being used this sea
son by the glee clubs of the larger uni
versities, such as Harvard and Michigan,
and are right up to date
College songs of course predominant
but the program includes ballads and
such catchy pieces as, "The Good Bad
Little Boy" 60 Wah, Who" 1.-The New
Fashioned Girl" and If which have
made quite a hit. Mr.. CWerton, of the
Conservatory of Music in Durham has
trained the club
The manager of the Glee Club has been
informed that some confusion in the re-
serving of seats was experienced when eX-
Governor Taylor spoke at the Raney Lib
rary Hall and promises to stop the sale
OF tickets when 800 have been sold, so
that no confusion will be possible. All
of the female colleges will be largely rep
resented as the presidents of each have
agreed to let their students attend.

Will Maj Stedman Run for Governor

North Carolina folks love politics.
That Arkansas man who said the Tar
heef had q passion for politics, and had
butt three things in which he steadfastly
bel4eved-Hell, Calomel and Democracy
knew something of the State.
Reports have been coming from Green's
boro lately that Maj. Chas NJ. Stedman
will be a candidate for Governor. A
close friend of his said yesterday that
Major Stedman had the matter under adj
visement. Talking about gubernatorial
candidates, recent issue of the Green's
boro Patriot, says:
ut is rather early to begin talking of
candidates for the next Democratic nomi-
nation for governor of North Carolina
but it is understood that Col John s.
Cunningham, the wealthy tobacco planter
of Person, county, will shortly announce
his candidacy. Colonel Cunningham had
many supporters in Guilford county when
he was candidate for this honor in
1900, and it is quite probable that a num-
Der Of Guilford Democrats will support
him next year. provided the county has
not candidate of its own. For some
time it has been quietly rumored that
Hon. Charles NJ. Stedman, of this city,
might be a candidate, though it is but
fair to state that no word or action of
his has confirmed such a suspicion.
Major Stedman has large numbers Of
friends all over North Carolina who
would delight to see him honored with
any office in the gift of the people, and
every citizen of the State knows how
well and nobly he would fill any office, no
matter how exalted it might be. There
are many people who have felt. ever since
he was defeated for the gubernatorial
nomination by Judge Fowle, fifteen years
ago, that the Democrats should elect
Major Stedman governor of North Caro-
lima, and should he enter the race next
year, he will undoubtedly receive very
strong support. Major Stedman is not q
politician, as politicians go nowadays, but
he is every inch a gentleman and a
statesman"

THE BUBBLE SOON BURST.
Chatham Record.

Chatham Record.
The death last week Of William j. Best
recalls an interesting epoch in our States
history Our younger readers probably
never before heard his name, and yet in
1880 it was household word throughout
this State. Mr.. Best died in California,
where he had gone from his former home
in New York 1t is quite remarkable
that the only extra session of our Legis-
lature that has ever been called under
the provisions of our present constitu-
ton was called at the request and b the
influence of this man.
This extra session convened on the 18th
of March, $780, having been called by
Governor Jarvis to consider the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Best to buy the Western
North Carolina railroad. The State had
been spending so much money in grading
this road from Old Fort to the Swan
nanoa tunnel, and so much dissatisfac-
ton had been stirred up by the famous
Mud Cut letters, that there was a
general demand for the sale of the road.
Just then Mr.. Best appeared with a
proposition to buy and complete the
road. He claimed to represent syndi-
cate of New York capitalists with
lar demand Governor Jarvis called the
Legislature in extra session and a bill
was promptly passed authorizing the
sale, tbs bill passed the House by a
vote of 80 to q, and the Senate Nv a
vote of 40 to G. 1t had been carefully
prepared by two of the States most dis
tingushed citizens, Hon. George Davis,
of Wilmington, and Hon. Thomas Ruffin,
of Hillsboro. It's most able opponents
were Hon. A. S. Merrimon and Hon. w.
r. Dortch. and their opposition was ve-
unjustly criticised and censured at that
time. moral might be drawn from this
All opposition was brushed aside, the
popular Will demanded a sale, and it
was made. Mr.. Best was the Zion of the
day and was the centre of attraction in
this State He leased the road from
Goldsboro to Morehead City and started
to build a new road from Goldsboro to
Salisbury via Pittsboro and Asheboro,
which would be forty miles shorter than
the present road between these two towns
He did build twenty miles of it, from
Goldsboro to Smithfield, and surveyed
a route from there to Salisbury via Pitts
boro and Asheboro.
But the bubble soon burst. Mr.. Best
was not able to comply with the terms o.
the sale and his reputed capitalists de-
serted him. The Western road was
bought by the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company and was extended as
agreed on and is now a part of the
Southern Railway system.

of peace between Ireland and highland.
Mr.. Davitt expressed many differences
of opinion with Mr.. O'Brien, Mr. Red
mond and the majority of the delegates,
but he promised to abide by the decis-
ion of the convention, voiced his undying
hatred of Irish landlords and said he
doubted if Mr.. O'Brien was right in be-
lieving that they were settle down and
help in the development OF the country
at the passage of the bill.
Mr. Davitt moved in friendly terms an
amendment to Mr.. OBrien's motion, pro-
viding that the nationalist members of
Parliament refer the bill back to the
convention for final approval, after pass
ing the committee stage in the House of
Commons, so that the people themselves
may say if they accept it as amended
and that the convention be adjourned in
stead of merel-- dissolved
Mr. Redmond, in reply, paid a tribute
to Mr.. Davitt's fairness and the benefit
derived from his presence and support;
but he said he believed his amendments
would be construed as vote of want of
confidence in the Irish Parliamentary
party.
Mr. O'Brien followed with an impas-
stoned appeal on the same lines. He de-
clared Mr. Davitt's amendment menaced
the Irish party.
MIR. Davitt then, amid tremendous
cheering, withdrew his amendment, on
which its merits to convention seemed
fairly equally divided and the threatened
split was averted.
The convention then unanimously adopt
ed Mr.. OBrien's motion to entrust the
parliamentary party with the power and
responsibility of eventually dealing in
committee stage with the amendments
and adjourned until Friday

Attitude to the Multitudes.

Miss Blodgett held her audience SPELL

talked and expounded the scriptures was
one of intense spiritual joy to each hear
