Encampment For All.

To the Editor AS it appears that
The period of encampment or prac-
tice march (of the Guard) shall not
exceed ten days. including the time
expended in travelling to and from the
camp (See Laws 1898. Chapter 374,
Sec. 81; an Annual Report for 1903 of
the Adjutant General of the State of
North Carolina, page 1913, may it not
be we'll to consider sending each of
the three regiments to Manassas for
FIVE (5) days, instead of the First Re-
giment (only) for fifteen O5) days?
We note that one State has decided
on this plan, while in another State it
seems that they are preparing to send
all commands that volunteer" to go.
While our views have been, and
paysstill be- seriously at variance with
many relative to the present status of
the Guard, (of which we may have
more to say at a later date), still our
general aim, we trust, is the same, to-
wit: to promote and advance it's well
fare, hence this word in time Gust as
we wrote aforetime as to the Charles
ton trip about a matter that may at
least tend to bring about confusion.

been advised of the old rule in equity
that a trustee as such should be very
careful in dealing with himself as an
individual, and that if he do SO deal
the great burden is Or him to show
conclusivaly the bona tides OF his acts,
and that no harm but good resulted
to the trust Still many an honest
man and wise men has SO dealt and
with great advantage to his trust.
In reviewing the whole matter,
having haa peculiar facilities for OBJ
tanning all the facts by reason of my
position for three terms as commits
sioncr on the board Of internal i'm
provements which board has charge
of the States interest in this property,
/ am forced to the conclusion that
under State control, during the last
four years, Il good and economical
management on the property has been
attained, aid that the Governors
Judgment Of men was not nj fault in
retaining Mar. Bryan as president OF
the road.
The conclusive evidence Of which is:
(a.) The present fine physical con-
ditiOn of the road as shown by the
investigation committees report. It's
freedom from serious accidents or
wrecks. Not q passenger has ever
been killed on the road or seriously in
iured, though it's trains are now OPP
Grated at a speed Of from forty to
sixty miles an hour and this is the
suprcmest test of good management.
CD The good financial showing,
made more certain by the report of
tn : expert accountants.
(c.) The almost doubling of its
business within the last five years
over the preceding five years.
t0.) And The rapid rise in the
market value of its stocks from $40
per share TO probably par within four
years.
And now in conclusion: / unre-
serVedly concur in the opinion of the
committee that as heretofore has
been the policy during your admins
tratlon. the net earnings of the road
should be used in paying off its float
ing debt and iii the further better
ing and Improvement of the property,
instead of paying dividends and that
this policy be continued for the pres
emit And except as herein set out,
concur in the finding of the committee.
Their delicate and arduous work
has been thoroughly and conscienti-
ously done without fear and without
favor, and they deserve the thanks of
the State and of this board.
