The People Want To Know.
Wilmington Messenger.


There are a great many questions
about the management OF this At
lantic & North Cardinal road the
people would like to have investiga-
ted. The publication in parallel col
umns of the presidents report for
1902 and 1903 with explanations as
to the differences regarding the con-
dition of the road would be very in
teresting reading matter. We hope
the Governor will turn the light on
fully.
In the proposed investigation we
hope he will inquire into the number
of free passes, that are now outstand-
ing, to whom issued and on what
grounds they were issued; what are
the rates of board at the Atlantic
Hotel; what persons have been given
reduced rates of board and why
they were so favored; what persons
have been given rebates On freight
and why; why it is that the authori-
ties Of the road purchase fuel for the
locomotives at points along the
Wilmington and Weldon road, from
whom it purchased this wood, what
it paid per cord at the place of pur-
chase and what it cost to have the
wood delivered to it's own line and
what pull the wood dealer had; also
WHY it should be necessary to have
such large membership of the COM
mittee on proxies, who compose that
committee the reasons for their ap-
pointment and whether or not these
committeeman and their entire fami-
lies have free passes on the road.

Cleveland Nails two More Old Lies.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
Among the disgrceful charges re-
Gently brushed up and again brought
forth to do service as an offset to the
rapidly-returning popularity of ex-
President Cleveland, were those to
the effect that Fred. Doughlas had
been irvited to his wedding reception
and that he signed bill providing
for mixed schools while Governor of
New York. A warm admirer of
Mr.. Cleveland, VIM. E. Aberuathy,
of Chase City, Va, recently wrote
the ex-President concerning these
stories and the following reply has
been received;
"Princeton, N. j., March 81.
"W. E. Alternately, Esq.
'.Dear Sir: My attention has been
several times called to the statements
of Mr.. Watson, to the effect that
Fred. Douglas was invited to my
wedding reception, and further that
while Governor l signed bill pro-
viding for mixed schools. l have
already written two or three letters
denying these alleged statements,
and do not propose to spend any
more time denying statements SO
absurd and emanating from so i'm
possible u source. Each and every
one vi Mr.. Watson's charges, if they
can be so called, as they have been
presented to me, is false. They are
about as far from the truth as. they
can be and they were made, l have
no doubt, without the least reason
to believe them to be true, and en-
tirely in a spirit of which even Mr..
Watson ought to be ashamed.
''Yours very truly,
"GROVER CLEVELAND"
This Fred Douglas story first came
out during the Populist movement,
some years ago, and was then most
industriously circulated and, to-
gether with the mixed school false
hood, has been vigorously rehashed
by the enemies of the late President,
who appeared to fly into Mysteries
whenever Cleveland's 8 name was men-
toned. Without these allegations
it is hard to imagine what the anti
Cleveland press would have done for
ground on which to base it's emnity
to him when he denied the Taylor
story in a letter to Congressman
| Webb. Mr.. Cleveland declares he
will never be a candidate and it
seems that his enemies should there
fore stop circulating lies about him.

spirit that they would destroy a mad
dog or a ratt!esnake. That ends the
matter then and there. They are
never disposed to wreak their ven
geance on innocent persons who
merely happen to be of the same race
as the criminal, as is sometimes done
in the Northern States.
The Southern people know the ne
gro and wish him well. Indeed, we
have done and are still doing all We
can to enhance his welfare in his
proper sphere. But his propersphere
is not political nor social equality,
and we try to make that fact plain
to his understanding. The sooner he
comes to adapt himself to enevitable
conditions the better and happier he
will be. T. C.H.

Judge PEBBLES and the Robson County
Lawyers.
Statesville Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
The fact that the Robson county
bar refused to make a calendar for
the term of court for that county,
scheduled to begin yesterday, assign
ing as a reason that they did not
want to try cases before Judge Peeb-
les, who is holding the courts OF the
district. has attracted much atten-
ton. Some of the papers seem to
think the Robson county bar is en-
tirely in error, contending that the
"honor and dignity of the judiciary
ought to be preserved by every good
CITIZEN" and especially by the legal
fraternity" Of course the honor and
dignity of the judiciary should be
preserved, but the judiciary should
deserve to be honored and dignifed.
We know nothing personally of the
troubles between the Robson county
bar and Judge PEBBLES, but the latter
has certainly not made an enviable
reputation since he has been on. the
bench. His conduct in the Haywood
case in Raleigh provoked a storm OF
criticism. But we started out to say
that if the Robson county lawyers
have no confidence in Judge PEBBLES,
if they do not want to risk their
clients interests before him and think
he is unfit to sit on the bench-and
that seems to be about their conten-
tion-then they deserve all honor for
having the courage to stand up and
say so. AS a rule lawyers are not
very brave about such matters, be-
cause the Judge has the whip hand,
but we are delighted to find at least
one case where's 'possum dog will eat
'possum, and we give the Robson
county bar credit accordingly. Unfit
men on the bench should not be toll
Grated They may be endured else
where for a season, but OF all things
let the judiciary be above reproach;
and if there is any wrong in this case
let the facts come out. The Demo
cratic party nominated and elected
Judge PEBBLES. Ii a mistake has been
made let it be corrected. We have a
contempt for the idea that no public
official should be criticised unless he
belongs to a political party other
than your own; or because a man is
prominent officially or socially he is
above criticism Away with such

road Affair.

When Governor Aycock said tha
he had gotten all he wanted in th
return of the railroad back into tn,
hands of his friends it sounded prett,
much like hint that he would favor
"let-up" on the prosecutions becaus,
OF the withdrawal of the fight by th,
receiver and the men who were back
ing him. 1t looks like the Governor
had a mighty close shave in getting
out OF a tight place. The evideuc,
taken as whole will certainly create
the impression on the general public
that there was something of an un
derstanding with the Governor or
the subject. Anyhow, before the par
ties seeking the ereceivership agreed to
abandon the case, the Governor and
the Attorney General we're hot in
the hunt after the scalps of the icon.
spirators" and as soon as the latter
dropped the case these State officials
declared they had secured what they
were after and suddenly found that
the criminal case rested only with the
solicitor of that district. The Mes.
senger said at the first that these
prosecutions were only for the pur-
pose of producing evidence to be used
in the receivership. Why. the News
and Observer now comes out in ad-
vocacy of the Executive dropping
the prosecution so far as the State
government is concerned. 1t seems
from the evidence in the case that the
editor OF that paper, whose business
manager was said to be connected
with the management of the hotel
run by the railway company, had to
be consulted before the Governor and
Attorney General could decide what
to do.
There is another popularity about
this road matter which we think
should be explained. A number of
persons put in bids for lease of this
property short while after the last
annual report of the president, which
showed such deplorable condition of
the property The names of some of
those who wished to lease and who
had made propositions to the Cover
nor were given to the public by him.
We see from an exchange that James
A. Bryan, the president of the road,
was interested in the matter of lease
with one of the persons who made q
bid to the Governor. The Governor
should let the public know all about
this. Why has this fact bsen with
held from general publication? Why
should not his name have been men
toned along with that of the others
who proposed to lease the road? We
simply ask for information. We hope
when the GOvernormakes his investi-
cation he will give out all this kind
of matter. The people want to know
all the facts. The list of names of
persons who have free passes on this
road would b. interesting reading
were the Governor to give it to the
public.-Wilmington Messenger.
And so would a list of those who
spend their summers at the railroad
hotel at Morehead without paying
the regular rate When the business
manager OF the News and Observer
was appointed a. director in the road
it was charged that it was purely a
personal favor to enable him as bust
ness manager of the paper to secure
free transportation over this and
