Raleigh, N. c., June 1.-The directors
of the Atlantic and North Carolina
railway met in the Governors office
this afternoon and discussed the re-
ceivership matter. Everything is await
ing the action of Judge Purnen tomor-
row morning, as to the bond rendered,
this being for $4,000 for the railway
and $4,000 besides by directors and
officers. Some persons say they think
the Judge will make trouble about ac-
cepting the bond. The Governor said
he did not think so. 1t is said that the
receivers claim that they took posses
sion OF the road yesterday morning ten
minutes before Chief Justice Fuller
signed the order. They took charge a
little after IL o'clock. 1t is asserted on
the other hand that this point is OF no
value.
The bond required to be given by the
Atlantic and North Carolina railway,
under order of Chief Justice Fuller
was signed by James A. Bryan, E. c.

RICE IRRIGATION BULLETIN.
Figures OF Census Bureau Relative to
the Subject i'm n. c.. S. G. and
Georgia.

Washington. June 1.-The census
bureau issued a bulletin to-day giving
the figures relative to rice irrigation
in the states OF North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia, showing that
there are 50.223 acres under irriga-
ton in three states, and that the cost
Of establishing these systems was
$1,7S0,000. Irrigation is practiced on
ly in the coast counties and Is per-
formed during high tide. The bulle-
tin says:
while the method OF irrigation Is
simple. the initial expense Of prepar-
ing plantation is very great and the
cost of Planting, cultivating and har-
vesting = considerably higher than
in Louisiana and Texas. Owing to
the moist character OF the soil, the
use of heavy machinery is impossible
and the labor must be performed
largely by hand. The coastal planter
requires a large force of laborers to
plant and harvest his crop, and his
returns are no greater than those Of
his more favored brother in the
southwest, whose fields are prepared
and harvested by the most improved
labor-saving machinery. 1t is owing
to these factors that rice irrigation
has not made more rapid progress I'm
the coastal counties. Another fea-
ture which during late years has
greatly increased the labor and ex-
pense of the planters is the uncertain
character of the rivers. These
streams once drained heavily forest
ed slopes and were fairly regular in
flow, seldom being subject to sudden
or great flows. Now that the forests
are gone, floods rise without warn
ing and sweep away the strongest
dikes. causing total loss of crops. and
frequently irreparable injury to the
fields"

Columbus. O., June -Four compa-
MES Of militia were today ordered to
proceed to Hanging Rock, near Iron
ton, on the Ohio river. With Colonel
A. C. Thompson, in command, the
companies left at once for Hanging
Rock on a special train.
The sheriff of Lawrence county today
wired the attorney general making
request for military aid at Hanging
Rock. The sheriff asked that an en-.
tire Battalion be sent forthwith, as
there was every indication that there
might be a bloody outbreak at any mo-
ment.
The trouble grows out of the impor-
tation of negroes from Virginia to
take the places Of striking furnace
men. One man was killed last night.
The arrest Of James Fuller, young
striker suspected of having shot Su-
perintendent William Jeffries, Of the
Hanging Rock company, was what
brought the ill feeling between the
strikers and the strikebreakers to
such a point today that troops were
called for by Sheriff Payne.
The strikers today began parading
the streets, carrying rifles and threat.
ening the non-union men wherever
found, especially the colored men,
who had taken the places of strikers
in the furnaces. The strike breakers
were also armed.
For some days both sides have been
heavily armed. There were several
collisions last Sunday, in one Of which
Albert Sperry was seriously hurt. On
Monday night an attack was made on
an old church where a party of non
unionists had taken refuge and two
hundred shots were exchanged. Later
Superintendent Jeffries of the Hami.-
ton furnace was shot, but not serious
fy hurt. There have been few cas-
ualties SO far, considering the extent
of the shooting.
Within five hours after the order for
troops to proceed to Hanging Rock
was issued, four companies OF mill
tia from Ironton, Portsmouth, CALI
polls and Manchester were on the
scene and the strikers had been dis
persed.
Colonel Thompson, in command OF
the troops, reported tonight that per-
feet order had been restored and that
there was no fear Of further trouble
tonight.

Omaha Neb., June 1.-The Nebras-
ka Democratic state convention to-
day unanimously selected w. ]. Bryan
to lead the delegation to the national
gathering at st. Louis, and adopted a
platform which reaffirms the Kansas
City platform of 1900, and places be-
fore the public Mr.. Bryan's views of
what should be embodied in the plat
form OF the coming national conven-
ton. Mr.. Bryan was himself chair
man of the committee on resolutions,
and wrote the platform. He had as
sociated with him men who have been
his most loyal supporters. There
was no opposition to the adoption OF
the platform as read. although one
delegate attempted to secure the
adoption of an additional plank,
pledging Nebraska Democracy to sup
port the nominees of the ST. Louis
convention regardless of whom they
might be. He was ruled out of or
der, however, after reading his reso-
luton.
The delegation is lninstructed, but
is pledged to the unit rule. A reso-
luton expressing confidence in Mr..
Bryan and commencing his splendid
efforts to prevent the national organ
ization from falling under the banefu1
control of the enemies Of the real
Democracy" was unanimously adopt
ed. The platform was as follows:
With an increasing love for the
principles of Democracy and an in
in
umph, We look upon the present time
as opportune for their earnest and
courageous PRONUNCIATION, with chief
executive who has diSregarded conSu-
tutional limitations, stirred UP antag-
onism between the races, employed all
the powers of his office to secure a
denomination and purchased political
support by turning the treasury DE-
partment to the financierS and putting
the department into the hands of the
trusts-with such a chief executive
and with Republican leaders openly
and arrogantly in alliance with or
ganized wealth, the country impera-
lively needs a return of the govern
ment to positive and clearly defined
Democratic principles. Democracy as
taught by Jefferson, and exemphfed
by Jackson, is the hope of the repub-
lie, and offers the only relief from the
plutocracy which now dominates the
Republican party and through that
party the country.
Democracy would oppose as mimi
cal to the welfare of the people all
private monopolies and would exter-
inmate them by the enforcement or
the remedies suggested in the Kansas
City platform. The failure OF the
present administration to enforce ex-
listing laws, or to suggest more effec-
tive laws, is conclusive proof that 1t
lacks the desire, the intelligence or
the moral courage. to attack the con-
scienceless combinations of capital
