Raleigh Correepondenea. ' ' : Complaints are being beard from many quarters now about the inva sion of the rural districts by near-beer joints. The veriest bunlets and cross road stores are said to be selling near-beer, much of it of exceptional alcoholic strength, that is giving rise to disorder in many sections aa bad as ever existed in the country before the original Watts law. confined the manufacture and sale of liquor to the incorporated towns of five aundred in habitants or more. The soft drink dealers are extending . their business into the country and the near-beer is evidently keeping fully abreast of his soft drink competitor. A locality said to illustrate tne conditions is Knightsdale, eight miles from Baleigh, where a near-beer joint has opened up and is said to be giving rise to serious disorder without police protection or means of instituting k. Joseph eew- ell, deputy clerk of the North Caro lina supreme court, is authority for the statement that the situation there haa become disreptuable. To make matters worse, the school district having voted a special tax for schools, is building a new school house for a school of much higher standard than heretofore enjoyed there, but now Mr. Sewell says it looks like the de moralization dne to the invasion of unpoliced near-beer will preclude the possibility of patronizing the . new school with any satisfactory degree of safety for the children from .the viewpoint of the careful parents. . . A Model School. - Mr. Editor: A model school will be conducted in the First Grade Boom of Central School as a part of th Institute.

', Mr. Editor A meeting 1 of our people is hereby called at the court house in Concord on Tuesday, Au gust 23rd to consider the question of the drainage by . dredging ' of our streams and lowlands. I have bees fortunate in securing as speakers far the occasion Mr. Charles E. Long, Newton, Catawba county, and Mr. J. D. Elliott, of Hickory. Mr.' Long has been associated with the dredging in Catawba county, -on Clarke's creek, and is thoroughly familiar with all the technical questions that pertain to this work. He built the dredge boat and bought the machinery, start ed the work and is familiar with the initial cost and will give all facta as to the rate per acre, the cost of room ing the dirt per eubie yard and all other questions that will naturally arise in the discusion of this import tant Work. Mr. Mliott is a prime mover in this ' in the State, is enthu siastic over it, and, I believe, is" the author of the- N. C. drainage law, the best law of its kind in. any State, c the Government' expert on this ques tion tells me. I hope onr people, es pecially those interested in drainage, will come out on the 23rd, and give these gentlemen a big crowd. We hope at this meeting to organize for work along this line in the county. There is nothing so vitally important to onr industrial growth as this and nothing that will lend more to the-sani tary condition of our town and coun ty. These gentlemen write that the j will be here without fail. i--'A G. ED KESTLEB, 1 Chmn. Board County Commissioners . ' 'I ' l . 4 The Tangle in the Sixth. .-j .

(5,000,000 Vow Being Spent ia Band ing New Cotton Mills, It is remarkable that in the face of the situation that has faced the cotton manufacturing industry for the past year or so that there should be so much activity in cotton mill con struction in this section. It ia the certain evidence that the mannufaet urers of this section are confident of the future of the industry. In North Carolina six months or so ago, it seemed that a new cotton manufac turing enterprise was announced ev ery few days. Recently the same has been true of South Carolina. In the two states it is probable that the com bined capital of the cotton manufact uring enterprises that have been born during the present year even will very nearly reach the magnificent sum of $500,000. The recent development in the in dustry in South Carolina has been unprecedented. Large new mills are being organized at Chesnee, Newberry, Laurens, Gray Court, Florence, Pros perity," Clinton, Fountain Inn, Wil- Lamstoa-and Greenville and m some of these places the companies have been organized and work begun on the plants. There are ten of these enterprises with a total of $3,000,000 to represent the capital stock. Turtle in His Stomach. New York Tribune. William Douglass, of the north side, is dead as the result of a turtle egg hatching in . his stomach. A few weeks ago Douglass partook of some turtle soup. Four days after taking the soup he became ill and numerous physicians were unable to diagnose his disease. Yesterday he died. An au topsy was performed and a partially formed turtle, almost as large as a hen's egg, was found in his stomach. Mr. J. A. Crews, aged 45, for many years engaged in the mercantile busi ness, shot and killed himself in his room in Winston Thursday night. The family did not heir the pistol fire, hence the deed was not revealed until Friday morning. : Bad health and financial reverses are given as the cause of the suicidal act. . . ; YOU CAN'T EQUAL THESE GARMENTS ANYWHERE All We know whereof we speak.
