dicial system of the State. If Judge
is sick or detained from his courts
by unavoidable accident, there is no
provision to remedy this omission, un-
less some other Judge can find time
from his own courts to ride the cir
cult of the sick or absent Judge. This
could easily be remedied by establish
ing two small additional districts, con-
sisting of a county each, so that the
Judges riding these small districts
could, when not engaged with their
courts, hold special terms and take
the place of the sick Judges. The
Ninth Judicial District lost it's entire
circuit this fall by the serious illness
Of the Judge, thereby causing a loss
of thousands of dollars and leaving
persons in Jail who were entitled to
a speedy trial. Such instances have
happened before and will happen
again, and, therefore, should be rene

Other States Agree.

The States of South Carolina, Geer-
gia, Alabama and Tennessee, and prob
ably Virginia, have agreed to the same
terms offered by North Carolina, thus
giving a uniform rate and mileage
books over the entire South.
1 have given this matter a most
careful Investigation, tried to protect
in every way the rights of the State,
and, in coming to the conclusion that
the settlement reached is both just
and equitable to the State and the
railroads, have had the advice and
assistance of some of the State S
truest, ablest and best men. However,
discharge my duty by obeying the
Constitution and laying the matter
before you, as you alone can enact
laws. I think it wise to settle the mat
ter. I believe the terms are fair to
all, and, therefore, ask you, the law
makers Of the State, if consistent with
your sense Of right and duty, to ap-
prove what has been done.
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1908-01-23

themselves, it behooves the State,
through it's lawmakers, to meet them
in the same spirit of equity and do all
it can to aid them, provided it in
no way destroys the rights of the
people.
Again, I trust you will solve this
complex question by approving the
terms agreed upon, thus restoring
peace and harmony and putting all at
work once more for the upbuilding of
our beloved State.

should be ascertained that the rate
thus agreed upon was excessive on the
one hand or confiscatory on the other,
upon application, the Corporation Com
mission should have the power, after
a full and fair hearing, to raise or
lower the rate fixed, subject to an ap-
peal to the courts.
Some seem to object to the require
ment that the railroads pay the sum
of $17,500, but believe this objection
comes from the fact that the PROPOSE
ton is not understood, and they be-
lieve this amount is to help defray
the costs of convening the Legisla-
ture. demanded this money for these
reasons: I did not believe the rate
passed by your body was confisca-
tory. / felt wrong was committed
by the railroads in bringing their suits
before giving the rate a fair test.
When the railroads got their injunc-
tion they not only had the Corporation
Commission, the Attorney-General and
Assistant Attorney-General enjoined,
but also the attorneys employed by
the Corporation Commission; hence,
when the railroads refused to obey the
law, not being able to get the services
of these attorneys, I had to employ
others, thus entailing more costs, and
therefore, the railroads, by their suits
and acts, having put this extra cost
on the State, I felt in the settlement
| they should pay it. If, however, your
honorable body does not agree with
me, and think the State and not the
railroads should pay this cost, it is fol
you and not me to decide.
In order that in the future both the
State and the railroads should know
their respective legal rights in dealing
with each other, and believing tha
the Minnesota case and the habeas
corpus case from Asheville now pend
ing in the Supreme Court OF the Unit
ed States would definitely settle anC
define the respective rights of al
parties, it was agreed that, even i
your honorable body accepted and ap
proved the agreement, the case in th'
Supreme Court should not be affected
thereby, but should proceed to fna

Freight Rates.

In regard to freight rates, suggest
one amendment to section 1, chapter
217, Laws of 1907, by adding at the
end of said section these words:
Provided further, that this act shall
not apply to independently owned and
operated railroad companies in North
Carolina whose mileage of road in
said State is one hundred miles or
less" The reason for this recommen-
dation is, that the amount of freight
shipped on one of these little roads
from one station on it's own line to
another station on it's line is not over
FIVE Or ten per cent. Of it's shipments,
while from point on its line to some
point on the line Of another road it's
freights would amount to from ninety
to ninety-fve per cent. of it's ship
nents; while the shipments of the
large roads to points on their own
lines is from seventy to eighty per
cent. of their shipments, while their
shipments to points in the State on
other roads would not exceed twenty
or twenty-five per cent, being a dis
elimination so largely against the
small roads as to most seriously affect
and injure them, and, therefore, de
mands relief.

Rate Fixed Not Confiscatory.

= The rate fixed by your body at It's
last session, in my judgment, though
| less than the amount recommended in
my message, was not confiscatory,
but was just and based on the reports
of the railroads themselves, and, there
fore, was in no sense wrong; and, if
the railroads had given the rate a fair
test, without having made the people
hostile to them, I firmly believe, as
shown by the evidence taken in the
pending equity suit, that said rate
would not only have proved both equit-
able and remunerative, but Ia eX-
cess of the previous earnings. But
times have changed since you last
met, and all business has suffered by
the structure in the money market.
Disclosures made in the financial
world showed fraud and corruption,
gambling on the stock market, the
withdrawal of money from circulation,
thus bringing about unrest and dis
trust, together with many other causes
which have seriously affected all Sc
curities, making stock values decrease
and credit hard to obtain, until, not on
account of the little reduction of fares
to 2A cents, but for the reasons above
stated and many others, railroads, like
individuals and other corporations,
have been crippled in their operations,
have had in many ways to curtail
their expenses, cannot borrow money
to carry on their business, and, there
fore, need all legitimate help that can
be given them, not inconsistent with
the rights of the people and the State.
They claim that, if all matters of diff
ference between them and the various
States can be adjusted, confidence will
be restored, their securities more cas-
lily placed, and they be enabled to con-
tinue their contemplated improve
ments.
No one but demagogue would de-
sire to injure railroads simply because
it can be done, but should only wish
to require them to deal justly with the
people; and now that the railroads
have recognized the sovereignty of
the State and come forward, agreeing
to terms alike fair to the State and

General Manager Of News Service
Talks of Sibey's Letter.

New York, Nov. 3. Melville j..
Stone, general manager of the Assoc
ciated Press, is deeply interested in
Joseph c. Sibley's, letter Of March z,
1906, written to John d. Archbold of
the Standard Oil company, and made
public by w. r. Hearst Saturday
night.
This calm proposition to break into
the news columns of every newspaper
of Importance in the country and fool
the public with doctored news favor
able to the Standard Oil company,
never amounted to anything, accord
ing to Mr.. Stone.
IF the Standard Oil company ever
attempted to get control of the Asso-
ciated Press Mr.. Stone said, II never
heard of it. j certainly would know
of 1t were such an attempt made.
Neither do I believe the company
ever tried to form a news association
of it's own. If it had such an associa-
ton it would have lasted about two
minutes. Experience has shown that
it is utterly impossible to run a sue
cessful newspaper or news service
where the real purpose is to protect
some interest.

ciated Press could be bought. If they
did they made a big blunder."

keted.
Forest City. Nov 3.--The marketing
of the first sugar beet crop that Win
nebago county has ever produced Is
now on. The yield exceeds the expec-
tations Of the producers as we'll as the
sugar company which promoted the
project. A beet which is on exhibition
in the window of the Winnebago Coun-
ty State bank weighs eight and one-
half pounds, and was raised by Isaac
Halvorsen, who resides north of town.
The yield is from fifteen to twenty tons
to the acre and is being paid for at the
rate of $3.50 per ton. This makes the
earnings of an aero of land from $7O
to $S5, which is certainly big money.
Mr.. Milligan, the agent. who has charge
of this district, says that the soil ana
lands here have produced the most
in quality of any soil in Iowa. This
year is only q starter. and altho' less
than 100 acres of sugar beets were
planted here. 1t means the bringing in
to this vicinity of more than $4,000.
Taking the present seasons experience
as a basis; upon which to calculate and
considering that the weather was cold
and backward ian the spring, and as a
whole. a bad season for beets, the pos
Sibilities in a favorable season are al
most impossible to estimate. 1t Will
