The North Carolina editors had a pleasant
meeting at Wrightsville last week. An especially
thoughtful and practical effort was the opening
address of President Marshall. Owing to the
sickness of Business Manager Denmark, the writer
was unable to attend, but our Historians Paper
was mailed Monday-in ample time to have reach
eel the Secretary at the opening session Wednes-
Gay morning-and we have been much annoyed
TO md that it lay over in the Wrightsville post
ONCE till just after the meeting adjourned. We
regret that the task to which our brethren called
US was so abortively performed, but we hope that
hey will believe that this was through no fault
Oh ours nor yet of Secretary Sherrills.

Thought Very Probable That the South

(By Associated Press.)


NEW YORK, February 2-More than
ordinary interest attaches to the month
ly meeting OF the st. Louis and San
Francisco Railway directors. scheduled
for Thursday next in this city. because
Of various rumors which center around
that property. It IS commonly believed
that control Of the road .is now lodged
with J. P. Morgan and Company, though
]. and w. seligman and Company were
FOR a long time the fiscal agents. Latest
reports hint at a deal between the
Frisco and the Southern Railway, adj
mittedly a Morgan property.
A leading official OF the San Fran
cisco road declined to-day to discuss
the various rumors concerning deals"
and combinations" but stated that some
directors would probably be chosen at
this weeks meeting. In spite of the
statement that these changes will be
without significance it is thought that
these new members will disclose by their
connections certain recent Developments
in the affairs of the st. LOUIS and San
Francisco Road.
