College Phone 411 No Contracts Let By Waiei Board The board of water commissioners did not reach a decision last night as to the letting of a contract for the ‘ construction of a pumping sta tion and intake at the Sample mill site on the Catawba river. The board at its meeting last week rejected all bids submitted and announced that it w'ould receive bids last night, which it did. After considering the new bids of last night the board decided to defer action until next Thursday night, when it will either accept one of the bids of last night or do the work itself. TThe bids submitted to the board at the last meeting were announced for the first time last night and were as follows; Porter & Boyd, $34,000. Ensminger Bros., $30,000. Tucknor & Laxton, $20,300. 'The bids last night were as fol lows: Edwards Construction Company, $24,020. Tucknor & Laxton, $22,300. Blythe 8e Isenhour, pumping station alone, $14,387. Theb oard spent some time in dis- cuslng the proposed litigation with re gard to the right of way of the pipe line to the Catawba river. It was agreed that condemnation proceed ings will be begun at once against Messrs. Walter S. Alexander, J. B. Todd, T. J. Jones, Henry Grass, L. L. Grass and E. D. Latta. The right of way is needed and the legal steps will be instituted next week, which the law provides for cases where the right of way is not granted voluntar ily.

W, Hood, tax collector of district No. 3, had a close call from accident yesterday at Pineville. He was about to cross the railroad tracks when an approaching engine, which he could not see for a line of box cars, frightened his horse. The animal turned suddenly * and started along the track into a deep cut. One shaft was broken and the buggy turn ed over on its side. Mr. Hood still held on to the lines and the horse plunged backward with its hind feet astride his body. It then sprang for ward again, jerking the buggy back into normal position, while Mr. Hood still held to the lines. Mr. Milus Harkey, 'Of Pineville, seeing the plunging animal and Mr. Hood’s pre carious position, an forward and ex tricated hiin from the entanglement. Strange to say, Mr. Hood did not ^ receive a scratch beyond one little scar on the thumb. Those who wit-i nessed the accident consider it almost] miraculous that Mr. Hood wag notj severely hurt, | GIFTS Slippers Make Nice, Useful Christmas Gifts.

U».—Mrs. Mary Hol ly, of Edgefield, S. C., is visiting her niece, Mrs. R. B. Johnston, on Folk street. Miss Annie Russell, a student o£ the G. F. C., at Greensboro, arrived last Saturday, and is at present the attractive nuest of Miss Beulah Younts, on Main street. Miss Russell expects to leave for Fort Mill, her home, next W’ednesday. Miss Mary Scroggs, of the Pineville high school, spent the week-end with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Scroggs, on North Tryon street, Char lotte. Mr. G. yv. Pitman, of Heath Springs, S. C., is visiting his niece, Mrs. J. H. Howard, on Gay street. Mrs. C. P .Hennegan, of Birming ham, Ala, who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. F. C. Harris, on Fish er street, left for her home last Saturday. Mrs. Harris, who has been quite ill, rallied the latter part of last w^eek, but has lost ground since, and ia in a precarious condition at present. Her nephews, Drs. C. M. and W. M. Strong, of Charlotte, are attending her. Rev. Mr. Ivy, of Salisbury, preach ed at the Baptist church here yester day. The congregation have been without a pastor for some time, and it is rumored that they may extend a call to Mr. Ivy. Miss Eula McWhirter is visiting relatives in Charlotte. Cards have been received in Pine ville announcing the celebration of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Yount*s silver wedding at their home on North Pine street, Charlotte, which inter esting event transpires next Friday, the 22d Inst. The attendants at the wedding twenty-five years ^ago were: Mr. J. S. Miller with Miss Eunice Michell. Mr. Ed Russell with Miss Maggie Bell. Mr. J. H. Ross with Miss Ida Grier. Mr. Alexander McDonald with Miss Beulah Younts. Mr. Jim Grier with Miss Dora Mc Dowell. Mr. J. H. Barnett with Miss Ellie Reid. Of the twelve attendants, eight are living, two of whom reside in Pine ville. The invited guests from the vil lage to the silver wedding are: Mrs. J. A. Younts, Mrfe. Annie Lee Hoffman, Master Charlie Hoffman, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. W'. C. Barnett, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Garrison, Mr. and rs. W. J. Ta}'^- lor, ra. M. L. Rone, Miss Beulah Younts, Messrs. G. W. Bunch, W. M. Morrow, George Marks and T. P. Morrow; Mr. and Mrs. Ed Russell and Miss Annie Russell, of Fort Mill, also invited gnuests, will join the Pineville contingent and quite a number will stop with Mr. J. A. Rus sell, on North Poplar street, Char lotte. It is such a convenience to have good friends with which to stop when attending swell affairs at a distance The pastor of the Presbyterian church here, the Rev. C. Kingsley, read ( a letter yesterday which was quite lengthy, at the morning service, which ha.» been sent by order of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church, in which was urged a strict er observance of the Sabbath. Rid ing on street cars, traveling on rail roads cars, irisiting on the Sabbath, etc., all came in for condemnation. Theatre-going, bridge, whist playing, immoral picture shows and plays, etc., received a just share of censure; and if the Presbyterians will live up to the standard as set forth by the gen eral assembly order, they will be a “whole lot” better than they are, at present. Your scribe, who was bom and raised an A. R. P., and who had to crack walnuts, goobers, hickory nuts, etc., and pick out the contents on Saturday if she expected to eat them on the Sabbth, in the^-days of her childhood, and who considered that it was only “poor white trash” who went visiting on the Sabbath, listened carefully. Rev. Kingsley paid the Plnevilians quite a tribute for their strict observance of the Lord’s day, and your correspondent thought “Dear pastor” we have gone far astray. We have erred exceedingly and while we are pretty good Phar isees, still there is plenty of room for improrement. ACUTE BURGLARY ^ITUA- TION IN WILMINGTON. Special to The News. Wilmington, Dec. 20.—The burglary Situation in Wilmington is becoming acute, and the depredations are more and more bold each night. Over a hundred entries have been made here within the last three months, and as yet but one person has been arrest ed positively identified with the burg laries. He is now doing time on the county roads for a period of years, which fact, however, does not seem to have any appreciable effect on the actions of the others engaged in the same trade. During the past week an average of six or seven reported burglaries have been placed ' on re cord, and Sunday night eleven were reported. Considerable conjecture is expressed as to what the final out come will be. The police seem to be entirely unable to rise to the situa tion, and the people are demanding relief. All the robberies seem to be executed on the same gneral plan, and it is thought that one man is responsible for the whole series of re cent crimes. The man has been seen only one time, by a lady as he was rifling her dresser. She describes him as a short, heavy-built negro man. The arrest and conviction of the guilty party would be hailed with de light by those who* have suffered and those who are apprehensive.
