viii act, he says, as the law directs In
this matter.
The North Carolina Railway was
formed shortly after the civil war, aid
the State subscribed a majority Of its
capital stock, and a road was built from
Charlotte 10 Greensboro. The road did
not prove very profitable, and fifteen
years ago was leased TO the old Richmond
and Danvilie, which was succeeded by
the Southern. For years there have been
hints that the lease was not fairly pro-
cured. and that il could be successfully
attacked and set aside
In lS96 Gov. D. L Russell, Republican.
sought 70 attack the lease, but was not
authorized by the legislature, and the
fight in the courts resulted in the South
ern's favor Russell claimed that the
lease was procured by fraud. The leased
road is the most important in the South
ern's main line. The lease was for nine
ty-nine years. Col. Y, S. Lusk. chairman
OF the last Republican State convention.
advocated the annullment Of the lease

''Tetanus cases occurred in twenty-three

IL, and l3 deaths were due to explosions
OF powder, torpedoes, and dynamite. Ten
deaths were due 70 falls or rupswavs
caused by hrecrackers. One person was
drowned because a practical Joker"
threw giant cracker into a boat crowd
