Who is in Raleigh for some days. Speak

Of 1856 or 1857, DR.. Brooks said: Our

remained on the ground until the last
of March, The snow of 81 fell on the
18th and 18th of January, instead of the
14th,' and was from eighteen inches to
two feet in depth, instead of twelve or
thirteen inches" That snow was all gone
in less than three weeks, and Major Scott
would have found it very poor sleighing
five or six weeks after it fell. The
weather was very spring-like on the 14th
of February, but WAS exceedingly cold
while the snow was on the ground. The
mercury must have dropped below zero,
for I was informed that Governor Swain
stated that, according to the records at
Chapel Hill, it was the coolest weather
there since 1903 Others as well as Major
Scott have gotten the reported snow OF

COMPLETE REPUTATION.

Elsewhere We publish the demurrer and
answer to the bill filed by Mr.. Finch, upon
whose representations Capt. McBee was
appointed receiver of the A. and N. c..
r. R. The answer is completef refuta-
tior of the charges made, and no unbiased
man can read the answer without seeing
that the court has been msled.
The statements made will show to the
public that there is no ground for taking
the control of this road out of the hands
of its owners, and when Judge Purnell
reads the answer he ought to be quick
to see that he has been imposed upon. The
application would indicate that Finch was
re presenting himself and other stockhold-
ers AS a matter of fact he represents
nobody but himself and he had no inter
est except to secure the receivership for
McBee. That all now appears plain
enough.
1T is to be hoped that business men will
read this answer. 1t is a matter that
deeply concerns every business man who
owns stock in any corporation, for IT.
property worth s1,SOO,O00 can be thrown
into the hands of a receiver by new
stakeholder, whose stock has rot been
transferred on the books, and without
notice, what corporation is free from
bankruptcy and ruin if any minority
stockholder has a grievance against the
majority or an axe to grind?
1t is vitality important to all business
interests that are incorporated-and cor
porations are rapidly multiplying-to
know that there is no danger that their
concern will be put into the hand of a
receiver, without notice. when it is sol
vent and no creditors are asking for
money. One of the ablest lawyers in the
State, an attorney of a number of pros
porous corporations, said yesterday that
this action had alarmed the officers and
owners of corporations in the State, and
they were looking anxiously for the de-
cision.

TAKING MARTYRS OF CRIMINALS

The chief defect of the negro character
is in the feeling they have toward GRIM
ii,als of their own race. There are me-
grces who refuse to associate with men
guilty of crime, but comparatively they
arc few in numbers. Instead of treating
him as an unworthy member of the race
1t is too often the case that a negro
returning. home, after serving a term in
the penitentiary is received with such
a warmth of welcome as to make him
and the public feel that he is an Ihonored
and not dishonored member of the
race. Often, upon leaving to serve term
lin the penitentiary, convicted negroes
arc given an ovation at the train, all
their friends assembling to say good
bye as if the convict were going upon
some journey of public usefulness and
honor. There is a constantly increasing
number of negroes to whom this criticism
