LENOiR COUNTY RESENTS 1T.

| Up to this date not a single stockhold-
er of the A. and N. C. R. r., has signified
his approval of putting the road in the
hands of a receiver. Finch stands alone,
and he is not a stakeholder of record. In
| fact, except Finch, McBee and their paid
attorneys, including the railroad organs,
not a voice has been raised in defence or
analogy of the unwarranted act On the
other hand, every stakeholder heard from
denounces it, and the counties are join
ing the State in fighting the receiver
ship. The county of Lenoir owns $780,
900 worth of stock in the road It's coun-
ty town, Kinston, furnishes more bust
ness to the road than any other place.
Should not that county and town be
heard in preference tn lid Air Finch
and Wireless Telegraphy McBee? At the
meeting of the county commissioners of
were adopted;
''Be it resolved by the Beard of Com
mlssioners of Lenoir county, as the own
ers of 500 shares of capital stock OF
the A. and N. c. r. R., that this county
rcsents the action of x. S. Finch, assum-
ing to be a stakeholder of the road, and,
assuming to act for the interest OF and
behalf of the stockholders OF said rail-
read and protests against the same as un-
warranted. against the best interest OF
the stockholders of said road, and the
same is deemed by this board to be great
ly to the detriment of said railroad COM
pany and the stockholders thereof
"Be it further resolved, that this board
does earnestly pray the honorable court
to dismiss said receiver as an unnecessary
burden upon said company, and that said
railroad, its property effects and control
may be again turned over and delivered
to the officials thereof.
BE it further resolved, that this reso-
luton be transmitted to the circuit court
at Raleigh, North Carolina, to the end,
that the same may be filed in said cause
Lenoir county paid out 100000 in good
money for its stock. Finch & Co., have
promised to pay about 81 ,2OU for their
stock if they close their so-called option.
1t no other stakeholder protested, the
court ought to listen to bona flde owners
of 500. 900 worth of stock rather than
to Finch and McBee who have no more
tangible interest in the property than
there is substance in Liquid Air or Wire
less Telegraphy.
The wrong ought to be undone and with
OUT delay:

it was exactly constitutional. The same
roads made bluff on testing its constitu-
tionality in the Durham case. 1t may be
this also is a bluff.
We note that the Southern claims that
"a station at that point would not be
convenient to the people of Charlotte or
the travelling public" We are sorry that
the Charlotte Chronicle, in its unrea-
sonable contention over this matter, back
ed up of course and quoted with approval
by the Raleigh Post, should ever have
made this diversion. AS a matter of fact
no site can be found that is entirely
convenient to everybody, because no site
can be found that is equally near to every
house in a city that covers some four
square miles of territory. But the fact
remains that for the bulk of the popula-
ton the site at the junction is just as
convenient as the present site of either
depot, and we all want the union depot,
into the bargain. Of course the conten-
ton that union depot would not be con-
venient to the travelling public is ridicul-
Gus.

New Bern Journal.
Capt. V. E. McBee, receiver OF the At
lantic and North Carolina Railroad. ac
cording to the Raleigh Post OF March Sth
makes in substance the following asscr
tions regarding his receivership,
That things are moving along veNy sat
isfactorily and smoothly.
That of all the dismissals he has made
from service not a single man was OF ser
vice in the carpenter or machine depart
ments from which he was dropped.
That me had ordered a reversal in the
paying system of the road, namely that
empolyes be paid on the first of the
month, and the officers on the fifteenth.
Considering thatsMr. McBee has been
in this city in personal charge and survey
of the railroad property over which a re
ownership now hangs, about thirty hours
the above statements are not remarkable
In reply to the first statement, what is
smoothly and satisfactorily, must be
taken from two points of view. Mr.. Me
Bee gives his. From local business point
of view, there has been more disturbance
among shippers, under the receivership,
than under the entire previous admins
been such as to cause local merchants TO
order from other transportation lines in
preference to the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima.
AS to the second statement, if every dis
missal was what was needed. then it is
folly to have any railroad shops for the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad,
either for the repair of rolling stock or
for the construction of new rolling stock.
A survey of the department shows absO-
lutely no work being done. -Four carpen-
tiers on hand Monday in place of the Gus
tomary twenty. Construction of new roll
ing stock stopped, and if an accident
should occur on the road it would he ne
cessary to call in outside help. for the
present force is inadequate to meet such
contingency.
AS to payment of employees, they have
not yet been paid, while the officers of
the road were paid as usual last week,
the first of the month.
Captain McBee was sent here with a
pedigree Of distinguished railroad service
record. He may know something about
railroads, and their proper conduct, but
it is no secret that the present receiver
ship had and has for it's purpose the dis
crediting of the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima road from it's highest officials all the
way down to its poorest employee, and
even the crossties of the road.
It is not expected of Capt McBee, that
his eXpertness and experience i'll railroad
management are to be employed There
is nothing to show it. from Capt. McBee S
thirty hours in the office here, to the in
spired statements sent out, and lastly the
assertions made through the Raleigh
newspapers as noted above.
All of this may look plausible, and
cause innocent @nd ignorant outsiders to
form erroneous opinions of the Atlantic
mad North Carolina management under
President Bryan, Governor Aycock and
the Board of Directors, but it does not
deceive any one who knows or wants to
know the actual situation, which is open
to everyone who will examine the present
conditions as they actually exist.

Col. Cuningham's Position.

To the Editor: Last fall advised ouI
farmers to hold their tobacco. that
thought it would sell higher. While to-
bacco is not selling as high as it did in
1902 and early part of 1903, Che prices
paid for it have advanced since the cror
came in last fall. The high price of flour
meat and what the farmers have to buy
should impress upon them the importance
of raising their own supplies at home. II
all Of the farmers will do this it will
greatly reduce the acreage in tobacco, and
by raising their own supplies and tobacco
and cotton, as their money crops, many
hundreds of thousands of dollars will be
kept in our State. This has been my pc
stion always, and / will thank you tc
print this letter, and will appreciate it
if papers in the tobacco and cotton belt
will also publish it.

He Thinks Dr.. Brooks i'm Error.

To the Editor: I never like to disagree
with editors or preachers, they both have
a decided advantage in having the last
reply. but as the matter in controversy,
is not one for The pulpit, 1 make bold
to say that I think Dr.. Brooks Is in error
about his dates.
My recollection corroborates the pONton
of Mr. w. L. Kennedy that it was in
1857. N.Y. reasons for remembering it was
that the big snow occurred only a short
time before the death of my mother, and
she died in the spring OF 81 Just one in
cident that occurred, cause me to remem-
Der it well. My mother have been con
fined to her bed for six or eight months,
and the snow caught one Of the ncighbors
a woman, at our house. She waited sew
eral days for the snow to melt, so thaot
she could get home. She finally became
impatient and asked my father to send her
home, the distance to her home was about
three miles as il was impossible to use
buggy the only way was by horseback
mounted q safe horse, and the old lady
was helped up behind me, we proceeded to
within about two hundred yards of her
home, al this point a branch crossed our
path. this stream was frdozen over solidly
ana the ora lduy WIS dlIdlu 10 rue dCiOSo,
fearing the horse wouls slip on the ice
there was no means of her dismountipg
except a rail fence. After much urging
got my horse up near the fence, where
the snow had drifted three feet high.
She stuck her foot in the cracks between
the rails and holding to the top rail
slipped off the horse. I refined out of the
way, when she attempted to climb down,
the top rail turned. She lost her hold
and fell backwards in the snow almost
I was licked almost TO
death but at the same time frightened,
but after a few minutes she emerged from
the snowbank, apparently none the worse
from the encounter. This little incident is
as fresh in my memory today as it was at
the time makes me sure that Mr.. Ken
nedy is right in his dates.
Respectfully,

do. this to contradict Mr.. Scott, but he is
mistaken as to the date. In 1856 early in

it would fall more snow and it did re-

The light that a man receiveth by
counsel from another is drier and purer
than that which cometh from his own
understanding and judgment; which is
ever infused and drenched in his affec-
tions and customs. So aa there is as
much difference between the counsel that
a friend giveth and that a man giveth
himself. as there is between the counsel
of a friend and of f1atterer: for there
is no such attereI as is a mans self. and
there is no such remedy against ffattery
of a mans self as the liberty of friend.
