the transaction was unlawful, be-
cause the charter of the road did not
provide for such business. The re-
suit of the operation of the hotel for
the season of 1908 was a loss of &c.
1867.
The charges that passes we're liber-
ally distributed and that 81 lawyers
held passes as attorneys for the road,
only ID of whom lived along the line,
and that some of them often ap-
peared against the road, is sustained.
1t is found that there is unaccount-
ed for in the accounts the sum of
$26,655.88, but owing to the crude
and antiquated manner of keeping
the books of the company the COM
mittee thinks that the sum can be
fully accounted for in material on
hand, etc.
The committee comes to the con-
clusion that the best and most eco
nomical management Of the property
cannot be attained under State con-
troll, although it rejects the assertion
hat it has been made the dumping
ground for br~oken-down politicians.
As a whole, the road is found to have
been greatly improved under the adj
ministration of President Bryan
Charlotte Observer.

"A BIT OF HISTORY.

North Cardinals Losses lii the Civil War
Compared With the Other Southern
States.
Gen. J. B. Fry has tabulated the
following Confederate losses from
the muster rolls in the Bureau of
Confederate Archives at Washington
City:
North Carolina-Killed in the war,
1882; died of wounds, 1851; total
loss from all causes, 1925.
South Carolina-Killed in the war,
9,1s7; died of wounds, 3,735; total
loss from all causes, 1852.
Congratulated in the war, 1858;
died of wounds. Lilo; total loss from
all causes, 1854.
Mississippi-Killed in the war, s.
8O7; died of wounds, 1851; total loss
from all causes, 1926.
Virginia-Killed in the war, 1928;
died of wounds, 2,519; total loss from
all causes, 14,794.
North Carolina's loss was nearly as
many as Georgia, Mississippi and
Virginia all three. AS to the sur
render at Appomattox: There were
three times as many North CAROLYN
ians there as from n other State;
in fact, they were the only troops
that showed any organization that
amounted to anything. This is his
tory.

The General Conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church began
its quadrennial session in Washing
ton and elected Rev. DIR. F. T. Tagg
president.
Col. John S. Mosby has landed
again. He has been appointed assist
ant attorney in the Department of
Justice, and will once more take up
his residence in Virginia, the State
of his birth. This is the old Confed-
crate guerilla and his life since the
war makes an interesting paragraph.
George E. Cortelyou, secretary of
Commerce and Labor, has been chos-
en- by President Roosevelt to man
age the Republican campaign next
fall, and he will soon resign his cabi-
net position to begin the work of the
national committee. Mr.. Cortelyou
is the youngest man yer chosen to
direct a national campaign.
The death OF Ii. IL. Plant by his
own hand at Macon, Ca, last Sun
day, was a remarkable occurrence.
Plant was supposed to be a wealthy
man, but the banks of which he was
president had recently gone into the
hands of a receiver. He owed his
creditors about $500, 900, and had a
million dollars of life insurance,
eight hundred thousand of which was
for the benefit Of his creditors. It is
| supposed that he sold his life to pay
his debts. which, though cowardly and
unnatural, was a tremendous sacri-
flee, and one hat has rarely been
made in human MISUNDERSTANDING.

Great Fighting Ship to be Named
North Carolina.

North Carolina has been added
to the nomenclature of the navy. The
vessel selected to bear the proud
name of the Old North State is one
of the armored cruisers authorized by
Congress. The North Carolina and
Carolina and her sister ship, the
Montana, which are to cost approx
mately four and half millions each,
will be the finest fighting ships in the
world, when completed three years
hence.
Congress at it's recent session au-
thorized the construction of one bat
tleship and two armored cruisers to
be the very best afoat. The battle
ship was given the name New Hamp-
shire and the cruisers North Carolina
and Montana.

An Insect that May Conquer the Boil
Weevil.

Washington, May 27.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture today an
nounced that an ant has been found
in Guatemala that is an effective en-
envy of the boil weevil. It will be
Immediately introduced into the cot
ton States. The creates significance
is attached to the discovery which
was made by-O. F. Cook, the botanist
in charge of tropical agricultural in
vestigations of the Bureau of Plant
Industry. Called instructions have
been sent to him to report Immediate
1y to the department what assistance
he needs in the way of men and
money.
During a trip in Central America
last year Mr.. Cook discovered a cot.
ton, grown by Indians, which gave
evidence of being immune from the
attacks of the boil weevil and on or
ders from the department he later be-
gan an investigation in certain points
in Guatemala and Mexico. Mr..
Cooks Investigations have been in
more or less accessible regions in the
province of Alta Vera Paz, Guate-
mala. The weevils are present there.
but the Investigations show that they
are unquestionably kept in check by
the presence of an active enemy in
the shape of a large reddish brown
ant which is attracted to the cotton
by the food which it secures from
sets of focal hectares. Mr.. Cooks
Investigations show that these ants
spread themselves over fields Of cot
ton four or five to a plant, and that
