The Corporation Commission made an order today, for the Southern Railway Co. and the Carolina and Northwestern Railroad Company to proceed without further delay with the provision of better and safer passenger and freight facilities at Hickory. It was in 1903 that the Com mission made the original order for improvement in facilities at . Hickory and in compliance with this order the two companies began to make changes in the depot facilities at the present old freight and passenger station in the center of the town. The citizens en joined the companies from proceeding writh this on the ground that the loca tion was dangerous to life and limb of the people and furthermore that the ground on which the depot is located really belonged to the town of Hickory. This case was brought up to the Su preme Court. An injunction was made perpetual. It was held by the court, however, that the Southern Railroad Co. really own ed the site in Question. In view of the injunction which stands against im proving the facilities at the present depot and the latest order by the Com mission that the facilities must be improved the next thing will be the agreeing on the new location for a freight and passenger depot. The order calls for improvement within 30 days. Removes 150-Pound Tumor. Seattle, Aug. 4. By an operation on Mrs. J. D. Clagston, of Seattle, a tumor weighing 150 pounds was re moved.

Jeter, a former resident of Union, now living in Columbia, has rr-r-iT- IJI-imtiIItt -P-v,..,! ; 0 -i f i f x 'wards a fund, the interest of wich shall be used toward paying the salary of a caretaker for the cemetery. Mrs. Jeter's proposition has been made through Mr. Herndon Moore, to Mr. W. E. Thomson, of this city, and he has spoken to a number of representative families, who concur in the opinion that it would be an excellent plan, and is a much needed public improve ment. The idea now is to raise among those who own burial lots there a sum ag gregating at least 3,000, as it would take this amount at 7 per cent, to provide anything like a salary that would secure a competent person. A meeting of all interested parties will likely be called at an early date. BOARD'S ACTION PLEASES. People Generally Endorse Aldermen In Aiding Four C's to Go to River. It seems to be generally conceded that the board of aldermen in called meeting Thursday night, did the right thing when they granted to the Four C's company privileges and rights to enable them to get out of the city with their new Catawba river line, and se curing for the company concessions from the Southern Railway requiring the stoppage of trains at the two crossings on the new line. In the second place there is a good deal of favorable comment on the city's obtaining an outlet of this kind that will prove a source of lasting and ever ready means of taking an outing on the river during either summer or winter, and spending a day in the woods, with the Catawba river close by, where fishing, bathing and boating will prove enjoyable features, and will be new sports to many people of this city. The large plans of the company, and the promise of a fine park and plenty of amusement at the river, will meet a popular demand that has long been felt in this city: THE NEXT ENCAMPMENT.

Behind the bars at the police sta tion "Grandma" Lizzie McKinney and her daughter, Lou, are waiting for something to turn up that will bring tnem their freedom, for they claim that another woman, Sam McKin ney's wife, Hattie, has done 'em a bad turn, and that they will be vindi cated. " ( It all happened about a trunk which "Grandma" Lizzie says was brought to her house several months ago by Sam, who left orders that it bo kept there until he sent word for it to be moved. Today Sam's wife showed up with blood in her eye, and told the police that the old woman and her daughter had her husband's trunk and wouldn't let her have it.

Mrs. Chapelle Draws Revolutionary Pension Checks Sent from Knox ville. Today in the offices of 'Squires Se vers and Cobb, there was a constant stream of Federal pensioners, surviv ors of the civil war, Spanish-American, and one Revolutionary pensioner. The applicants are required each quarter to make out proper vouchers before the authorities named by the government in each county, and these are sent to Knoxville, where the checks are sent out to the pensioners each quarter. One of the most interesting pension ers, who placed her application for the quarterly pension on file today, was Mrs. M. E. Chapelle, the only pen sioner in the county who draws a Revolutionary pension. Mrs. Chapelle married a survivor of the war of the Revolution, when he was quite old, while Mrs. Chapelle was still in the prime of life. She is now nearing the century mark. The distinction which she bears is a peculiar one as there are very few pensioners of the Revolution now alive. In all about 75 federal pensioners applied for the vouchers before 'Squire Severs today. A. Case for the Police.

PRICE: 5 CENTS THE CONDITION OF COTTOII IN CODNTY ESTIMATED AT BS 1-6 The Crop has Deteriorated About 5 Per Cent Since the July Meeting. Eighteen ot the 24 Divisions in the Caunty were Represented at Meeting Today. Preparations on Foot for the Ex pected Coming of President Harvie Jordan this Month. Mr. Short Makes Plea for United Efforts Along this Line. The cotton crop in Mecklenburg county has deteriorated from 74 to C9, 1-6 since the July meeting. This estimate was made today at the monthly meeting of the County Cotton Growers' Association, when re ports were received from IS to 24 di visions in the county. The meeting was called to order shortly after 11 o'clock this morninsr by the president and after the roll call and the reading of the minutes, which were approved, the association through Secretary Pharr, made out the monthly estimate with the result above given. The report of the 18 divisions rep resented were as follows: Steele Creek No. 1, 70; No. 2, Co; Charlotte, 75; Sharon, 70; Sardis, G5; Providence No. 1, 65; No. 2, CO; ; Clear Creek No. 1, SO; Pineville, 70;; Crab Orchard, No. 1, 70; Long Creek, 75; Mallard Creek, No. 1, 70; Morning Star 65; Paw Creek No. 1, 70; No. 2, 65; Huntersville, 65; Berryhill, SO. The average is 69 1-6 per cent., nearly 5 points under the July esti mate. The president called for a report from the committee named at the Ju ly meeting to investigate the ware house matter, but it was ascertained that the committee had no report to make at this ime, but will likely have one in the fall. The president then threw the meet ing open to the members, asking each one who had anything to say for the good of the order to speak out. Capt. H. D. Stowe in a brief talk said that he thought it would be a fine idea to send the report of the condition of the crop in. the county to the le partment at Washington, and this was heartily seconded. Capt. S. B. Alexan-. dsr added that the State Board of Agri culture be also included and a motion was adopted that the secretary be in structed to send a report of the aver age ascertained today to the two de partments, Mr. R. G .Graham had brought into the court room where the meeting was held, a bunch of cotton stalks that had lost a large part of the leaves and bolls, and he wanted to know what the trouble was. The condition of the stalks presented a rather peculiar problem. It was finally suggested that the cotton grown in the "black-jack" section had a dark subsoil in spots, which held the water much as if a basin were placed under the ground; that the heavy rains had, with the hard condition of the subsoil, supplied too much water to the plants, causing a condition similar to what the farm ers call "scortching" of the plant. Capt. S. B. Alexander made a brief talk, and urged the farmers to take advantage of the agricultural bulle tins issued from. Washington, "We pay as much as any other section for these," said he, "and yet they go by the thousands to the west and northwest, while we scarcely ever ask for one." Capt. Alexander said that these bulle tins contained too much useful infor mation not to be read by the farmers, and he suggested that the cnairman ol each sub-division in the county, write to Washington and get a list of all bul letins printed, and have them available for the farmers, who could look over the various subjects treated and then send a postal asking for the copies wanted. He added that the Department would be glad to send these, and that the only cost would be the postal on. which the farmer wrote his request. Capt. Stowe again asked to be heard and spoke on land values. He argued that if an acre yielding one-third te-one-fourth of a bale netted six dollars in cotton and sold for $100, that, an acre making a bale at $60, and with $18 substracted for expenses, made a net yield of $42 that this acre should be worth $700, or seven times the val ue of an acre that yielded only $6 clear money. , . Q The Association heard several other improDtu talks after which it was ad journed to meet again on the first faat urday in September. Harvey Jordan Coming. The president called on those inter ested to know something about the visit of Mr. Harvie Jordan to Meck lenburg this month. . . XT- . Mr W. A. Short said that the effort to get Mr. Jordan here was begun and is under the control of the people of his section. He said that it would be well m-ght impossible to get ready for Mr Jordan before the 20th of this month, but hoped that the people of his section-would be able finally to make all preparations for the great gathering and have Mr. Jordan present after the 20th. Mr Jordan made a strong plea for the co-operation of his neighbors in their efforts to get Mr. Jordan to come to Mecklenburg.
