Called to Account

The seizure by the collector of Gus
toms at Norfolk Of over seven thousand
dollars worth Of cigarettes is calculat-
ed to cause the tobacco trust some un-
easiness. Several years ago it was
boldly stated that the trust in this
country and the trust in England haI
divided the tobacco market OF the
world between them and had made an
agreement not to enter upon each 9th
er's territory. The government was
apparently Indifferent to this situation,
but Mondays development showed that
it was only biding its time. II this
seizure is to be followed by others, the
American Tobacco Company may frd
its entire products cOnfiscated. The
trust, however, is likely to come to
terms, for it will recognize that in the
government it has a stern master t.
deal with. No regrets will be expl c,s-
ed in the tobacco growing section of
this state, that the trust has at least
been called to account. Charlotte

Some folk claim to have distinguished
unmistakable signs of an impending
cOmmOtion in the region of the state
capital. Anyway, there have certainly
been developments of late, easily dis
cernable to the naked eye, that portend
a period Of unrest in certain quarters.
The Raleigh correspondent of the Char
lOtte Observer, who keeps constantly
in his possession a sort Of political
seismograph, records a highly inter
esting rumOr to the effect that the su-
preme court of the state will decide ad-
versely to Judge Long, Of the superior
court, in the matter of the thirty thous-
and dollar fine he imposed last July OH
the Southern railway for violating the
new state law as to passenger rates
If course this is all mere speculation
as supreme court judges do not per1ri
a forecast of their decisions, but new
ertheless the fear obtains thai the
worst may happen tomorrow, which Is
opinion day with the supreme court -

RUsIoR OF A COMPROMISES
Explaining Calling OFF of the Confer
ence-To Suppress Disclosures

| There is a curious and sensational
report current here today which t Is
: alleged accounts for the calling off by
| Governor Glenn Of the conference set
| for tonight between him and the state
| corporation commissioners and the
half dozen lawyers employed by the
state in the prosecution of the South
ern railway in the pending suits etc,
growing out OF the violation of the
new passenger rate law. The tip Is
going the rounds that the state SD
Long of the lower court, who creGtej
| a sensation in the very beginning OF
the railway rate fight last July BY fin
ing the Southern railway thirty -houa-
and dollars in some oMse OF violation
of the new IA cent rate law, and
which was appealed after theSouthern' S
ticket agent in Raleigh was released
from jail
The report goes that at this con-
ference a decision was TO be made
whether First Vice President Andrews
should be placed on the witness stand
with the result of certain Sta~Llins3
disclosures about the big sums the
Southern has contributed to the demo
cratic campaign funds, much of whi1R-
it is alleged, was turned over to the
personal enemy of Colonel Andrews,
The News and Observer, OF Raleigh,
which has bounded him for years and
with as others as startling disclosures
affecting prominent public men.
1t is believed that if the present in
investigation before the federal court
before standing master (Which began
in New York and was then transferr-
ed to Washington and later to Raleigh)
is continued to it's legitimate ending
there is certain to be yet brought out
a lot of evidence which the states
lawyers are said to be anxious to avOld
or keep suppressed. Therefore, it IS
today reported if the Southern attn
neys can be induced TO accept a ON
promise after being relieved OF his
big $30 900 fine and will accept as part
Of the terms OF the compromise or
promise to maintain the IA cent new
rate, which the road has been forced
to put into operation (Which is a Ie-
ductiOn of exactly one cent a mileD IN
til the next session of the legislature
in January 1909, the state will with
draw further suit and investigation
and call off all it's suits against TIE
road, including it's pending appeal to
the supreme court of the United States
government.
Governor Glenn himself, it is alleged,
had given out this tip, as the supreme
court Of the state has not yet rendered
it's decision in the $4,000 fine appeal
1t is not known how the leak occurred.
If the Southern accepts the offer to
compromise there will be lot OF mad
people; if it does not accept there will
be number Of badly scared folks
