is IT A CONSPIRACY !?
Everything Points to Scheme Behind
the A. & N. C. ReceiverShip.
(Nem Rnrn Lonrnal.N


Everything tends towards q clearer
showing as each day passes, that the
scheme which secured the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad receiversnp, is
part of plan to force a lease, and to
give this lease to parties through the re-
ownership.
III an interview with a gentleman who
is we'll posted on the situation, he said
to the Journal:
This talk of the Vanderbilts wanting
the A. and G. is all rot. They. don't
want it and are not seeking to lease or
buy this railroad property. And also
this report that the Atlantic Railway
Company has made the best offer to Gov
ernor Aycock for lease OF the y. and
n. c., how much of a company is this
A. r. Co., any way? 1t is said in Raleigh
it cannot build fifteen miles OF road, has
no money TO do it, and Low can this
company make good in lease OF the A.
and N. c.? And it is no special secret
that the parties behind this A. Il. Co,
are v E. McBee and his colleagues"
Another thing, as to tnls receiver
ship matter. How was it that when Mr..
McBee came here first, tnat Marshal
Dockery was so we'll informed so that
he knew where to look, and why did he
want to look for inside information re
garding the affairs of the A. and N. c.?
When DoclSery came to New Bern. he
rushed at once to George Green's office,
and wanted to see such and such papers.
And what did McBee do in the Presl-
dents office, but seek certain data, which
could only be secured by making re-
ownership for the road.
This discharge of fifteen or twenty
wcrkmen is all bluff. If McBee or the
alleged reformers really sought to save
the road any expenses, why not fire
those holding political appointments on
the road, and let the mechanics remain
to maintain the property and keep it In
order?
The fact will soon be established and
known that this receivership is simply
a blind to gain certain inside inlorma-
ton of the road and it's workings, and
the recent advance in the price of the
stock to $50 a share, and the increase IN
bids for the lease prove that The inior-
nation is gained, and it has been pushed
along to favored parties.
II only hope Governor Aycock, and
President Bryan, will not permit them
selves to be deceived. and that while
lease is all right that such lease shall
be given to parties who will extend the
A. and N. g. and give it western outlet,
ard thus give this section a chance to
expand through furnishing better com
retitive outlets for its products. As for
the connection towards Washington, y.
c.. that will come lease or no lease so
it need not be seriously considered. But
watch results and see how this receiver
ship is going to be shown up
