''The decline in the price of cotton

Republicans Of the South would, in
my opinion, attribute that decline to

worse on the country than on the

WILL THEY CLASH2
A. & N. C. R. R. Declares
a Dividend of | Per Cent
Differences of Opinions Between Di,
rectors Of Road and Rowland
Improvement Company on
Two Points.
lSnecial to News and ObserverD


Goldsboro, n. c., Dee. 20-The di-
rectors of the A. & y. c. r. r. were in
session here today ard declared divi-
dend of one per cent, payable De
cember 31st. The stock book of the
company Will be closed December 2Sth
and re-opened January 3rd. This diVl-
dend is paid before any payment for
lease is made by the Rowland improve
ment Company Those present were
J. w. Granger, of Lenoir. president;
and Directors &. NJ. Busbee. w. II.
BagIey and IG. G. Duncan, OF Raleigh:
w II. Smith and Henry We'll, OF
Goldsboro; c. f. Foy. OF New Bern;
Dempsey Wood, of Lenoir. and MIR.
Parker, OF Jones. 1t is understood
that the dividend is due to the unusual
Efforts of the directors.
Rumor has it that differences of
opinion have arisen between the How
land Improvement Company and the
directors of the A. & \. c. r. r. on
two points:
/. Who shall pay the taxes as
sessed against the road for the year
1901?
3 Who shall pay the interest on
the bonds which fall due on the first
of January.
The Rowland Company claims that
as the taxes We're assessed in June,
they should be paid by the manage
ment of the road at that time, for the
Rowland Company did not take
charge until early in September The
directors say that 10 demand was
made for taxes until after the lease
and the taxes were not ordinarily
paid until october or November when
the Rowland Company was i'll charge
AS to the interest due on the bonds
from July LIST to January 1st, the
Rowland Company claims that the
directors should pay one-third of the
amount--that is for the months when
they were in control of the road and
that the Rowland Company should
pay for September, October, November
and December-the time they have
been in control.
These two matters bring about diff
ferences of opinion which have not
yet been adjusted.
