Clash Between a witness and state Counsel
In the North Carolina Rate Case.

In the North Carolina Rate Case.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-The hearing OF
the North Carolina rate case resulted to-day
in a clash between ex-Congressman Wood
ward attorney for the State. and A. II.
Plant. comptroller Of the Southern Rail-
way, who was a witness. The Comptroller
sought to explain his figures. but Mr.. Wood
ward and his associate counsel T.. J. Justice
Speaker of the North Carolina HolAe of
Representatives, insisted that he answer
questions by yes" or mo" without exp,na-
ton or qualification. The witness finally
appealed to Special Master Mont gomery
and was sustained.
Persons who have followed the hearing
day by day have noted the disposition Of
the States counsel to make political Capit n
out OF the evidence. There is a campaign
coming on in North Carolina. Gov. Glenn
is known to be candidate for United State
Senator, ex-Representative Woodward Of
counsel for the State is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination FOR Governor and
l.. j. Justice, another attorney for the State
is said to be. a candidate for Attorney
General.
The testimony Of Comptroller Plant
to-day was intended to show the increased
cost of local traffic over through traffic
He explained also that while the number
OF employees on the Southern had not in
creased that their wages had been in-
creased $i.O44,0O0 since July 1, 1906. In
explaining the results Of the last fiscal
year Mr. Plant called attention to the fact
that while there was an increase in gross
earnings Of the Southern Of S9,Ol8, ,5S5 over
the previous year. there was a decrease in
net earnings from the year before of ST.
800 5S7 due to the increase in the opera ting
expenses. He explained that the balance
over fixed charges had decreased 81. .928. .74i
over the previous year, leaving not enough
TO pay the usual per cent. dividend on the
preferred stock, 80 that when the October
semi-annual dividend was due instead Of
paying ~ per cent on the preferred the
dividend was reduced to ~ per cent.
The attorneys for the State objected
to all testimony as TO dividends as irrelevant
and not TO be taken into consideration in
determining what constituted just COM
pensation. MIR. Woodward insisted that
the net earnings Of the railroad represented
the gross earnings. less taxes, without
allowing for improvements, repairs or in
terest on bonds
The hearings in Washington will end on
Saturday and will be resumed at Ralei gh,
N. G., next week.

Sells Its Stock Of State Made
Goods.

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 21.-Warden
Hall disposed of the last pound of bind
er Irvine at the penitentiary and said
he was satisfied that he could sell at
least $4,000 pounds more, as he was
forced to return several untitled orders
yesterday. Altogether he has sold $4,000
pounds, which Melted about 81 cents
per pound. This is the actual cost of
production, as the law under which the
binder Irvine plan was established in
the prison provides that the Irvine shall
be sold to the residents of the state at
the actual cost of production.
The plant was established during
Governor Dockery's administration, to
relieve prices for binder Irvine, the
price at that time being about 16 cents
a pound. 1t was predicted that no
matter at what price the state sold the
Irvine, others would cut prices and
leave the state in the lurch.
Warden Hall says that the wisdom of
establishing the plant has now been
verified in every Particular. 1t has
reduced the cost of binder Irvine to the
Missouri grain raisers nearly one-half
