TIFF OYER BOND ISSUE.
North Carolina Special Tar Securi-
ties Called Fraudulent by GOUernor.

The alteration between the holders of special tax
bonds of the State of North Carolina and the
authorities in that state has again been brought to
a focus by correspondence between Edward L. An
drews, of No. % Broad street, representing the
bondholders. and Governor Robert b. Glenn.
On Monday last Mr. Andrews wrote to the Gov
ernor Of North Carolina and informed him that In
view of the fact that he about call an
extra session of the General Assembly of the state
to legislate in reference to railroad the com
mittee representing holders of bonds had arranged
to transfer bonds and coupons of the state to the
value of So, 100000 TO foreign government In clos
ing Mr. Andrews urged the passage OF legislative
measures for submission to the people," and re-
quested the Governor TO include mention of the
matter In his call for special session.
tart reply was received yesterday from Gov
ernor Glenn In it the Governor contends that
twice has the Legislature and once have the peo-
pie by constitutional amendment repudated these
bonds being fraudulent and void"
North Carolina has acted fairly and souare,v
with It's creditors and paid dollar for dollar for
what it has received. but does not intend to nav
one cent for bonds conceived in sin and brought
forth in iniquity.
IF you can induce any state or foreign power to
be your tool in the purpose of harassrg the state
/. as Governor, will take such action in resisting
such Illegal proceedings as to seems Just and
right"
In letter to Governor Glenn mailed yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Andrews states that the Governors
communication did not in any way meet the situa-
ton lin reference to the defaulted bonds of North
Carolina
These obligations" he contends were sold TO
investors in the public markets of the country:
they were duly listed the New York Stock Ex-
change and several of the coupons were paid TO
the bondholders. They have never been repudiated
by the State of North Carolina but after u change
of political parties an amendment to your consti-
tuition was adopted providing that any legislation

So, This Costly Wood.
AS mahogany is among the most
costly woods in the world it may well
be inferred that this tropical material
is not extensively employed in tho
construction Of buildings, etc. A
bridge constructed of solid mahogany
is certainly rarity, curiosity. There
is one, claimed to be the only one in
the world, built of that material. This
structure is located in the department
of Palenque, State of Chiapas, repub.
lie of Mexico. This district lies in the
extreme southwestern part of Mexico,
near the boundary line of Guatemala.
This mahogany bridge is construct
ed entirely of that valuable wood ex-
cept some iron supports, braces and
nails that are necessary The bridge
spans the Rio Michol and it's total
length, including approaches, exceeds
$50 feet, while the width is Is feet. It
is used by both teams and pedestrians
and though somewhat rude and prim.
tive in construction it il substantial.
None Of the timbers of the flooring
was sawed. for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section of Old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta-
lions and mahogany trees are com.
mon. In clearing away the tropical
forests for setting out the young rub.
Der trees the mahogany srowths are
also cut down and removed. Az this
wood is abundant, some Of It was
