MORE INTEREST IN REGISTRATION
Nearly Half of the Expected Number of
Voters Names Are Enrolled.

The registration of voters for the
coming general and city elections, which
will be held together on the date of the
former. is not proceeding as rapidly as
it should. but noticeable increase in
interest is being manifested, and dur
ing the past week registrations have
been more frequent. The candidates for
office are doing their share in awaken
ing the interest of the voters, and their
efforts will doubtless result in bringing
the total registration up to or posi-
bly, beyond the estimate placed by City
Clerk BROKER, which is LOO. Up to
and including yesterday forenoon the
total number of registered voters was
42l. THESE were divided among the
| lows:
First precinct, first ward ....... 81
Second precinct, first ward ........ 81
| First precinct, second ward ..... 60
Second precinct, second ward ......l 10
Third ward ................... lU9
| Voters are reminded that registration
| is absolutely necessary in order to be
entitled to cast ballot at the coming
election. for no one will be permitted to
swear in his vote Therefore all par
ties entitled to vote at the general or
city election, having resided one year
in the state ninety days in the county
and thirty days in the precinct, and
who have not yet attended to the duty,
are urged to call upon the city clerk at
mis- office any time during regular Office
hours and see that their names are
properly entered.

Friday Morning Session.

At the opening Of the morning session.
Friday. Secretary Wiley read TO the
meeting some correspondence relating to
the petitioning OF congress 70 make the
upper slopes Of the Rocky mountains u
forest reserve with the purpose OF con-
serving moisture for the arid regions Of
the Arkansas valley. Tho petition was
laid before the Institute for signatures.
Mr. Crowley took advantage OF mo-
ments luli in the regular program, to point
out that the scheme Of buying old water
priorities up the river for bitches further
down did not work out the gain Of water
supply that was expected and threw out
the proposition for a mass meeting OF
lower valley water users to consider plan
Of uniting with the government TO build
storage reservoirs, the farmers OF the val
ley to tax their lands with proportionate
share Of the reservoir cost.
VIM. Lytle not being on deck with his
deliverance on the subject. "Ripening and
Grading Honey" it was proposed by tho
chair that the time be given to Prof. Grit
fifth Of tho State Agricultural College for a
talk on beef-making.
Prof. Griffith then took up tho subject of
making beef cattle for market. What the
animal will bring to the butcher sets the
price of beef cattle. The buyer Of fat cat
tie goes on horseback; he sees the animal
from above and looks first at the general
smoothness and baok-breadth and then at
the fatness of the beef; the third thing is
proportion of parts. Referring to the dia-
grams distributed to the audience. he said
in the proportional OF the parts as diagramed
the middle-back showed the chief values
OF these points. The grower of beef look
ed at the animals disposition; nervous
animals fatten less easily. The length of
the face should be twice the width be-
tween the eyes. Wide forehead typified
breadth throughout, and breadth meant
fattening capacity. The neck of a beef
animal should be short and thick. Neck is
cheap meat and the less neck the better
in beef animal. The front quarters.
made up largely of ribs and forelegs. was
Cheap meat. Around this part was what
was called heart girth, and this needed to
be large because good breathing and cir
culation were essential to good constitu-
ton and constitution was needful in beef
animal a. well as in dairy animal. You
want good strong jaw in the beef ami
NAL. because that indicates good mastlea-
ton Of food. The fore-shoulder points
should not be acute but oval and well
rounded. Tho crop (the breast) should be

tho committee came away with the as

Mr.. wei,xer's position In granting this

smooth animal summed up the beef ami
NAL. Going on to feeding he classed foods
as protein. carbohydrates and fats. In
feeding protein alone tho body makes no
fat; feeding fats alone too littlo growth
Tho carbohydrates help the action Of the
protiens and the fats. The nice adjust
ment Of the ration so as to got the needed
proportions Of these three classes OF foods
constituted the art OF feeding. Alfalfa
and bran were examples OF strong pro

cottonseed meal and fax were typical fat
foods. Turning to breeding. he pointed
out that while nature WAS opposed to in
breeding and from the standpoint Of na-
ture it was not wise to get in the attain

breeder found it advantageous. SO he in
bred tho desirable points of certain stock
without regard to the relationship OF the

, Afternoon Session.
Hugh Bryan opened the afternoon ses-
sion with paper on The Fertilizing
Value Of Our Irrigation Water" In sew
eral analyses of our ditch water he had
found little or nothing of the three valu-
able mineral elements. phosphoric acid,
potash and nitrogen. Also as to the sed-
iment carried onto the soil he found little
of fertilizing value. He concluded, there
fore. that our irrigating waters were
mainly, If not wholly, valuable as water
which made soluble the materials natur-
ally contained on our soil.
A. C. Conner said he found his land
more productive the longer it was irri-
gated. He cited the increasing yield of
wheat from his own land. which he at
tributed to irrigation. His land was GER
tainly stronger than when he first broke
it up.
Engineer Randall cited the increased
richness Of river bottom land along east
ern rivers, which was attributed to the
sediment deposited. He had no exact
knowledge Of values Of our water or its
sediment from actual analyses.
Mr.. Fenlason said it was here such
rivers as the Nile enriched the lands with
sediment and still it could be true that the
sediment OF our river was not OF char
acter to enrich our own soil. But any
water applied to the earth made its ele-
msnts more soluable and availale for the
crops. but this meant the wearing out Of
the soil. not the snriehing Of it.

THE WINDSOR MILL MAY OPEN.
of Guild as Receiver Of
Southern Textile Company Made
Permanent
(By the Associated Press.)

Newark, N. j., Aug. 9.-Vice-Chan-
cellor Pitney today made permanent
the appointment of Judge Frederick
F. Guild as receiver of the Southern
Textile Company. Mr.. Guild has been
in charge of the concerns affairs for
a little over a week With Mr.. Guild
is associated w. Gibbs Whaley, of
New York, who has been acting as
temporary auxiliary receiver for three
mills of the company located in the
South. Mr.. Whaley's appointment was
made with the consent of Mr.. Guild.
Each will have to furnish $4,000
bond.
Mr.. Guild made a report on the
present condition of the companys af-
fairs and asked to be allowed to open
one of the mills known as the Wind
sor mill, located in Burlington, n. -
This mill, he said, produced a weekly
profit of $500, and at present there is
about $4,000 worth of cotton spread
on the looms partially manufactured
He also asked the court to limit the
creditors of the company and allow
him to borrow 0,000 to carry on the
business. The court made an order

TO CONSIDER LEASE
A. and N. Stockholders
Will be Called to Meet
on September 1st

Governor Aycock announced yester-
day that he had requested President
Bryan, of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad, to call special
meeting of the stockholders for Sep
tember first for the purpose of rcceiv-
ing proposals for a lease of the road.
The meeting will, of course, be called
at once and, if a suitable bid with
proper guarantees, is received, there
will be no opposition on the part
either of State or private stockholders
to turning the property over to d
responsible third party.
The action of the Governor was
made possible by the now famous
"Nunc pro Tune" order of Judge Pur-
nell under which the restraining order
permitting the stockholders and direc-
tors of the road from disposing of the
property except with the consent of
the Federal court was dissolved.
AS has been stated there are now
three propositions of lease in the hands
of the Governor, those of the Mills
syndicate, the Philadelphia syndicate
and of Mr.. r. S. Howland and asso-
ciates, the details of which. so far as
known, were printed yesterday.
Before the meeting in September. 1t
is highly probable that other lease
propositions will be before the stock
holders meeting for consideration, al
though the time is now short for per-
fecting plans of the magnitude of
financial outlay involved in a lease
of the road.

FOUR ARE KILLED
Mother and Three Little
Boys Are Caught in
a Crash
(By the Associated Press. }

Chicago, Aug. "a mother and
her three sons, of ages ranging from
TO IL years. were killed and
number of other persons seriously
injured in a collision tonight between
Westbound Baltimore and Ohio local
passenger train, known as No II, ana
Chicago and Erie freight train at
the Brighton Park railroad crossing,
at western avenue and West 39th
street.
The collision followed a frantic eff
fort on the part of the crossing flag
man to change the course of the
freight train, to the crew of which he
had given signal that all was clear
for them to back over the Baltimore
and Ohio tracks. The passenger train
which was approaching rapidly, was
struck by the freight cars and two or
the coaches were overturned. One OF
the freight cars crashed through the
woodwork after one of the coaches
where the five who were killed were
seated. They were a family of six.
and G. G. Schwartz, the father, eScaned
with his life. Although taken from
the wreck unconscious and suffering
from broken bones and bruises it is
believed that his injuries will not prove
fatal. The mother and the four chill
dren We're killed instantly.
A rigid investigation will be made
to determine who is responsible for
the accident.

charged that the original decision was
a political decision brought about by
personal ambition on the part Of one
member of the court, and personal
friendship for that member on the
part Of another member of the court.
The dissenting opinion of Judge By
mum is regarded by some of our ablest
lawyers as founded on the true prin-
ciple of right and justice. So import
ant do / regard the continued owner
ship on the part of the State of the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad
that | take the liberty of quoting an
extract from the learned judges dis
senting opinion:
1T is clear. and not denied that
the power to lease is not one of the
powers incidental to the existence of
this corporation, and that it must be
an express power conferred. in the
charter itself. The defendant. how
ever, claims that this express power
to lease is found in the 10th section
Of the charter. which is as follows:
Section 19. That the said company
may, when they see fit farm out their
right of transportation over said rail-
road subject to the rules above men,
toned In the opinion of the court
1T is held that the power to farm out
the right of transportation ol<r a
rOdu Is the power TO lease the ROAD
itself and under this limited and
specific grant, that the company can,
in the words of the deed of lease,
demise, let, hire and farm out the
entire railroad with all it's franchises
rights of transportation, works and
property, including it's superstructure
road bed and right of way, depot
houses, shops buildings fixtures, en-
glnes cars and all franchises belong
ing thereto To me this appears to
be an immense structure erected upon
q slender foundation. and needs a
single decision or authority to main
tain it. A right Of transportation
over a road is one thing, and the road
itself with its engines, shops and prop
erty is certainly another. and these
can no more be confounded than rent
can be with the land out of which it
issues. One is the right of passage
over the corpus, the other is the
corpus itself"
1t would not now be wise and per-
haps it would be unjust to the South
ern hallway Company to attempt to
annul their lease of the North Care
lima Railroad, but it should be made
unlawful if it is not so now by com
mon or statute law, for franchises to

To Attack Sinnintun.

(By the Associated Press)
Mukden, Aug. 9.-The apapese are
using the ShanhaikwanY YinkoW Rail-
road for provisioning the army and
mobilizing troops for an attack on
Sinmintun, about thirty miles west
of Mukden.
Sinmintun is the northern terminus
of the Shanhaikwan Railway. From
Koupangtse, about seventy miles
southwest of Sinmintun. a branch
line connects with Yinkow. which is
about fifty-three miles southeast of
KouDangtSe.
A Russion correspondent of the AS
sociated Press in dispatch from
Tatchekiae, about a month ago. said
it believed that the Shanhaikwan
Railway was then under the control of
the Japanese with the consent of
China.
AS early as March 20 last the
Shanhaikwan correspondent of the
London Daily Mail asserted that the
Chinese had received official authori-
zation to turn over the plant of the
railway to the Japanese. The Japan
ese are in control of the Gulf of Lao
Tung and should the dispatch from
Mukden prove to be correct - would
indicate that they are landing troops
at Shanhaikwan. the southern ter
minus of the railway and transporting
them to Sinmintun. The strategic inn
pOrtance of the possession of the rail-
way which was sought by the Rus
slams early in the war. is apparent.
