THE CHARLOTTE NEWS-FEBRUARY 10, 1906 The Charlotte News Published Daily (Except Sunday) NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY. W. C. DOWD Pres. and Gen. Mgr. C. A. MATTHEWS City Editor SATURDAY, FEBRUARY. 10th, 1906. GIGANTIC LAND DEALS. The correspondent of The News at Asheville, tells of a gigantic land sale, or rather of land sales, which were consummated there on last Thursday. On that date 21 deeds were filed, in what the correspondent designates as "the largest land deal ever occuring in that section." A story of the sales and their results is given in another part of the paper today. The transaction in volved, in expenditure for timber alone, the sum of $100,000. The beauty about it all is that it is by North Carolina capitalists exclu sively, those interested being among the most prominent men of Greens boro, Salisbury and High Point. The idea is to erect a great tannic acid plant and a furniture factory, which it is intended shall turn out a higher grade of furniture than any other factory in the South. The men interested have the advantage of ex perience in the line of furniture manu facture, and there is little doubt but what the enterprise will turn out suc cessfully. The company has secured an option on 15,000 acres of land, 5,000 of which has been purchased outright. Options have been secured on 15,000 acres ad ditional to this on the stumpage basis. The tannic acid plant and the furni ture factory are to be located either at Democrat or Barnardsville on the line of the proposed railway to Burns ville. This would signify that there js no doubt but what this proposed road will be built. It is useless for us to reiterate that we are extremely delighted at the rapid growth of the manufacturing in dustry and, in fact., all other indus tries in our State. It will only be a short while, judging from the fast progress of the past few years, until North Carolina will be counted the leading manufacturing State in . the union, and also foremost in the scale of wealth. She has the natural advan tages all her, own. It is just a matter of time. We are glad of this tendency, and consequently we note with pride the forniation-of new industries of the pro portions of the one in prospect in the western part of the State. TODAY'S NEWS. The News is full abreast of the times. It is enjoying the new regime. The many words of praise received, on the great improvements of The News are most highly appreciated and cher ished. We feel that we are giving our many readers more than their money's worth and it is a pleasure to do so. . In today's News there are many fea ture stories and things . of interest. Among the many we call special atten tion to the charming story of the Secret Service, entitled, "The Botham ley Murder Mystery.". We also have a full account of the workings of the dispensary at Raleigh, of the amount of whiskey sold, of the number of arrests, as compared with the saloon era .and of the amount of money realized from the dispensary, to the city and county. Another story of interest to people all over the world is the account of the launching of the monster battleship, Dreadnaught today in England. The battleship was built at a cost of $7, 500,000, and is a venture of a decidedly new style of battleships. The story is interesting, for the building of this monster man-of-war may mean a com plete change about in the style of war ships built hereafter There are many other things of in terest in today's News, but space for bids their mention. The News correspondent at Wingate says the farmers of that section are holding their cotton for 15 cents, that they realize that it is up to them to show to the world that they will not put their hand to the plow and look back. That is the spirit, and the very kind of a spirit, which if all the farmers of the country had, would bring jto them the price they demand. We are in favor heartily of the farmer getting all he can for the remainder of his crop legitimately. We believe he can get 15 cents if he is willing to hold his crop. If a sacrifice is necessary to do so, then make the sacrifice. It is worth while. "In v union there is strength." Mr. Moore, the president of the N. C. division of the Cotton Asso ciation is doing admirable work, but it is impossible for him to make the price 15 cents without the aid of the farmers, and all the farmers.' It is just with them what they will get for .the balance of their crop. Another Charlotte firm was charter ed .yesterday at a capital of $25,000. Just stand off and watch us grow. We keep the Secretary of State busy issu ing chaiters. . " - - RALEIGH DISPENSARY. .We give today in another part of The News the report of the Dispensary of Raleigh for the two years it has been in operation there. We will try to give the reports of several other State towns in The News for the next few Saturdays. We have already given the record of prohibition in Charlotte, and have made comparison between Char lotte, a dry town and Salisbury, a liquor town. , The facts in the case are known to all, and consequently, without making a comparison beiween Raleigh and Charlotte, we will simply let the fig ures speak for themselves. ; From the report of the dispensary at Raleigh, there has been al most as many, . if not more, arrests mads for drunkenness, since the dispensary nas ueen in oper ation than there was under the saloon era. Possibly a part of this is due to the. fact that a lot .of these arrests were of people, not residents of Raleigh, who came from near-by towns to get their '"booze" and "fell ny the1 "wayside." .There is one thing evident from the l-eport, the dispensary is far more re munerative to the city and county than the saloon, looking at it merely from the financial point of view. . We ask our readers to read the re port and then recall the beautiful record of the best prohibition city in the South, Charlotte, and it is safe to say that the very comparison will be suffi cient to demonstrate conclusively the fact that the best way to regulate the sale of whiskey is to forbid it by law absolutely. The State child labor committee was organized in Raleigh yesterday with 15 members. Among the number were several Charlotte men. The object of the committee is to alleviate the con dition of the children working in the mills of the State. An effort will be made to keep children under the age oC 14 from working at night. They will also attempt to prevent children under 14 from working at all unless they can read and write, and also to keep girls under that age from being made to work, whether they can read and write or not It is a great movement and has some of the most prominent men of the State on the committee. We trust that their efforts will 4)6 reward ed along that line and that they" will get the co-operation of the people of the State. We give today in another part of the paper the second story of the series of "Stories of the Secret Service." We have heard so much praise of the "Lin coln Tomb Robbers" which we finished in last Saturday's News that we feel sure our many readers will be inter: ested in another story of equal merit and attractiveness. The story we give today is entitled, "The Bothamley Mur der Mystery" and is fascinating from start to finish, written in a clever and catchy style, and is withal fresh and authentic. We commend it to our readers without reservation. A report recently issued by the Com missioner ol Labor and Printing shows that $2,319,602 was brought into the State last year :by the guests of the various health resorts of the State. There are 333 health resorts in North Carolina and they entertained last sea-; son 181,884 : guests. This is indeed a fine report and speaics well for . old North Carolina as being ' one of the healthiest States in the Union. The Mountain Scout says: "We may look for a big celebration, in Char lotte on the 20th of May," And you will not look in vain, Brother, by any means.
