Especial 10 The Messenger.)


Raleigh. n. c.. February 25.-The At
ter has taken a new phase Today a
local paper published the statement
hat Judge Purnell Of the Federal court
had appointed Captain v. z. NcBee
receiver for the road. Upon petition and
complaint of K. S. Finch. formerly of
Charlotte. now hailing from New York.
who owns As shares OF stock and whose
petition sets forth that it is in behalf
Of the private stockholders.
The news OF the ~receivership was not
given out officially. but it is stated that
1t was done through the attorneys
Messrs. Hinsdale and Day. 1t was a
surprise to everybody. the governor,
In the paper this morning and this be-
ing also the case with Carl Duncan,
who is a large private stakeholder and
also a director. Governor Aycock de-
clined to say anything about the case
today, beyond the fact that he knew
nothing of the ~receivership until he
read it today. Day before yesterday,
Captain McBee who had the day pre-
vious made another bid for the lease of
the Atlantic and North Carolina rail-
way withdrew that bid in a letter which
he wrote the Governor. Captain Nc
Bees attorneys were Shepherd & Shep-
herd. and with the withdrawal Of this
proposition their connection with the
matter ended.
Director Duncan when asked his view
of the matter said: II nave just read
the account of the appointment. Of the
receiver. l have my views about this
matter, but cannot now give them or
suggest what action we will take I'M
til l have a conference with my friends
among the private stockholders, with
whom l have been associating for sew
eral years."
1t is quite probable that a motion
will be made before Judge Simonton of
the United states Circuit court at Char
lesion to set aside the receivership.
One of the most prominent lawyers
here. speaking today about the appoint
ment of Captain McBee as receiver,
said: This of course, 1 take it ends
Mr.. McBee's chances of acquiring pos
session of the road" Mr.. Finch, who
figures in the case. for several years
held the option on the lands in the east
ern part of the state known as the
swamp lands"
1t Is learned that Finch was not a
stakeholder Of record last September.
1t is also learned that very few prf-
waite stockholders will be with McBee
in his new move. and hat the largest
stockholders have expressed themselves
today so as to show they will stand
with the state in fighting the receiver
ship. This is also the attitude of tha
counties holding stock. The state will
take immediate steps to protect it's in
terests. 1t is said. McBee will leave
here tomorrow morning for New Bern.
to take charge of the load. 1t is IN
derstood hat his term will be short
lived. 1t was said tonight very posi-
lively:
mo lease of the road will be effected
through a Federal court"

A gentleman once went away for a
long time leaving hiB elephant in
charge Of fits keeper he asked a lady
10 see that the elephant had a certain
amount OF rice every day. and that the
keeper did not retain any OF It for
himself. At nrst all was right, but
soon the lady thought the rice was
getting less every day, 50 she asked
the keeper whether he gave the ami
NAL enough rice. The keeper, patting
the elephant, said: Madame, l treat
my elephant like my child. and do you
think I would rob my childy' The
elephant seemed 10 understand. and
with his trunk he pulled down the cloth
round the keepers waist. and a guam
tity Of rice fell out which he had

one, because Il must displace a greater

or course If the liquid is too light the
body viii be entirely covered and will
then sink 70 the bottom. This brings
us 70 the very pretty and simple de-
vice by which. without using a regular
graduated hydrometer. you can test The
truth Of the statement that water Is
heaviest at 30 degrees.
This device Is merely a blown out
eggshell. with the holes IN its ends
stopped with wax and weighted with
a bit OF wire OF a coin or two. You
have n vessel, preferably a tall glass
Jar, filled with water, which you can
bring to the temperature OF 30 de-
grees or thereabout by adding bit OF
ice, then a dash OF warm water and 80
on It'll you get it right, testing II all
The time with a thermometer. Then ad-
just the weight on your egg 30 that It
just floats with little bit OF the she'll
peeplng out Of the water. Now add
cracked ice to cool the water. Very
soon you will see the egg sink TO tho
bottom OF the Jar.
The next thing to do, supposing that
you are experimenting in a warm
room, is to do nothing. The water
gradually warns. When II reaches 80
degrees again up bobs the egg. but IN
a little while, as the water continues
to grow warmer, il sinks once more,
by adding more cracked ice you can
repeat the experiment. a. often as you

when have cake and Jam enough
For two or maybe three
beg Louise OF Grace TO come
To supper here with me.
But when there isn't very much.
And yet I'd like a guest.
I'll tell you who's the incest one.
The pleasantest and best:
It's my dear Angelina Maud,
Cause when j move her up
In her high chair and set for her
A plate and spoon and cup
And things TO eat she sits right there
With such lovely smile
And not one bit OF appetitel
And when a long. long while
Has gone ana still she doesn't touch
A mouthful. then I say.
'T'll eat your share 20 save It."
And she smiles and smiles away
