RALEIGH'S IN D17STRIAL AD- - VAXTAGESb There is in hand a well defined pnject to give to Ralelxh a belt line railway by parties who feel that one I of Raleigh's special and, urgent needs Is a belt line railway, to traverse the admirably located country east and south of the city. These parties very frunkly state that if land owners to the eastward will make a gift of rights of , way . through their property i this steji-will bring about the prompt con struction of such a line. This, it is held .'would mean a great enhance ! meiu of the value of their property. and. at the same time would cause re- markable development in every way.

Newport News and Norfolk, where he studied the police systems of those cities on a leave of absence granted by the Police Commission upon his election to succeed Chief of Police J. H. MulMna Mr. Stell was Im pressed by the efficient work of the police of those cities, securing many valuable Ideas, some of which he hopes to see adopted here. His chief regret It that the Raleigh force is too small to admit of shorter hours fof the patrolmen, which are enjoyed in other cities. Chief Stell will enter upon his new duties July first.

CAROLINA AN IM IORTAJrr MOVEMENT. It is expected that the State Board of Education will take an early action with regard to the reclamation . of Laso Mattamuskeet, in Hyde, county. The' State Board of Education owns 0.000 of the 120.000 acres of the drainage district in Hyde county, vhlch has already been surveyed and napped and the plans drawn for the drnlnage work. , ; Plans are also being carried forward toward the establishment of a drainage district In the, vicinity of Moyock. Cur ritnek county, The survey has al ready been made of this area and it 1 aa been shoym to be practicable to craln the area desired. It is expected that actual-work will be begun in this district at a.' Very early date. , In the Piedmoift rearion Dlans are I-1hk made to drain overflowed lands situated on Clark's Creek, of Lincoln and Catawbjjrffountles. , r.The, Geologf cul and , Economic Survey- have ar ranged with the drslnage division .of tl.e United . States Department of Airriculture to send an engineer to this district to plan -out the work The reclamation of this overflowed land will bring under cultivation some of the most fertile land of that sec lion of Lincoln county, i A new type of drainage wm also be planned, while ino engineer is in tnat district, and that Is the tile drainage of farm lands. Little or none of this type of drain age. has been undertaken. In, that sec lion of the- Piedmont, and after the work Is under way. arrangements, axe to be made to hold a Farmers' Inst! rule so that practical Instruction can be given In tile drainage illustrated fey lit work going on. This work In drainage is but the beginning of what In the: next few years win oe carried on over many sections "of North Carolina: and will resuit in the reclamation of thousands tf acres of land Which are now either not cultivated at all or raise but. scant crvpa ,'- -v ' . ..

The Merchants' Association of the city of Raleigh, in session on Tuesday nlKht. June 22. 1909, adopted, unani mously the following resolutions and ordered that the committee forward a vopy to each paper for publication a'ui that conies be forwarded to the ottVIals of the Seaboard Air Line Company. ' r Whereas, we have been informed that, a air co force of ! engineers is surveying, a line -from Henderson to Durham and Moneure, and that these cujrlnefrrs are in th employ of , the peui-oara. Whereas, it has been j published ; in the papers of the city and State that the t eaboard road Is making this ur 'ey with the Intention of running their main line from Henderson to 1'uiham and then connect at Won '. lire, thus leaving Raleigh on a branch line; and. ' Whereas, this report has been .both fnfirmed and denied by employees of tho road and since the officials of thr rood hp.ve made no statement In rt-irard to the matter. Therefore, be It resolved, that this association reels thet a great lnlus tlcc Is being done to the city of Ral flgh bj this report, especially as 'Ral eluh has always been one of this road's best passenger and traffic c n tree. That such action . on the part of tho road would injure the business in trcpts of the city and i bring about an unpleasant feeling between the citizens and the road. That the officials of , tho road be sked by this association to carefully consider me interests or this city be fore taking" such .action. f That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the city papers - for publica tion and that, a copy be sent to the officials of the road. ,; .

' PUSIHC DHJllijAb PARDON FOR OOE, ARE REFUSED Frank Bruton, of Bun- combe, Given Freedom PHIS HUE COilDITIOlI Conitnt'on Permits Governor to Grant "Rtprievps, Commutations and Pardon After Conviction ". . . Cpon Such CoiHlltloua ns He 3tay Think Iroper" Those Violating Conditions Will Re Returned to PrLsou or the Roads Governor KItch.n yesterday granted a pardon to Frank Bruton, of Bun- combe county, conditioned on his re maining a law-abiding citizen and oH good behavior. Bruton was convicted at the April term, 190S, of Buncombe criminal court of larceny, and sen tenced to four ' years on the public roads. In granting the conditional pardon. Governor Kltchln says: "Prisoner stole eleven dollars from one Moore. He has served on the roads for more than two and a half years. The judge, the solicitor, the prosecutor, and many citizens recommend pardon. No objection has been filed, though no tice of application for pardon was published. Owing to the punishment he has already suffered for the theft of eleven dollars, with the .recommen dations In his behalf, X' pardon Frank Burton on condition' that he remain a law-abiding citizen and of good be havior." Executive clemency was denied Hardle Gasklns, of Pasquotank 'coun ty, convicted of burglary in 1901 and sentenced" to death, whose sen tence waa commuted to life Imprison ment by Governor Aycock; and Ex-; um Battle, of Columbus county, con victed In 1905 of murder in the sec ond degree and sentenced to fifteen years In the State's Prison. Owing to the fact that Governor Kltchln ordered a man to complete his sentence who had been pardoned by Governor Glenn and violated the cond lions of his pardon, much dis cussion has been created in the press, and In some instances the granting of - conditional pardons was thought to be unwise. It is not generally known that the Constitution of North Carolina . authorizes - the Governor to grant conditional pardons but. does not spec flcally give him power to grant unconditional pardons. Article 3, section of the Constitution, says: The Governor shall have power to grant' reprieves, commutations and pardons, after conviction, for all of fenses (except in cases of impeach ment), upon such conditions as he may think proper,' subject'. to such regulat'ons as may be provided by. law relative to the manner of apply ing for pardons. Re shall. i biennially communicate to the General Assembly each case of reprieve, . commutation or pardon granted, stating the name of each convict, the crime for which he was convicted,, the sentence and Its date, the date of commutation. pardon or deprleve, and the reaons therefor." o A Wholesome Tonic norsford's Arid Phosphate Quickly relieves that feeling. of ex haustion due to summer heat, over work or insomnia. NATURE TELLS YOU. As Many a Raleigh Reader Knows Too Weil. When the kidneys are sick. Nature tells, you all about it. The urine is nature's calendar. . Infrequent or too frequent action; Any urinary trouble tells of kidney Ills. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills. Raleigh people testify to this. Mrs. Li H. King, 318 E. Cabarrus St.. Raleigh. N. C, says: "I can speak In the highest terms of Doan's Kidney Pills, having used them with most ' excellent results. suffered considerably from dull back aches, frequently accompanied by pains across my loins. I was convinc ed that my trouble arose from dis ordered kidneys as the secretions from these organs were unnatural and too frequent In passage. When I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills.
