Business Man Who Had to Go Hark to Gaston Count; Had to Make Trip Yesterday Morning; in a Canoe. "In regard to the discussion of a proposed bridge at either Rozzell's ferry, Sloan's ferry or the Mount Hol ly ferry on the Catawba," said a Charlotte man yesterday, "there Is no doubt that more people would pass over 81oan's ferry than over either of the others, as this is on the main highway, between north and south. and macadam roads have already been built by both counties to the banks." The need for a bridge somewhere on the river at one or the other of these places was never more striking ly Illustrated than yesterday morning, when a gentleman who lives In Char lotte and does business In Gastonla attempted to cross the Catawba, hut was unable to get across at any one of the three places on account of swollen waters This waa a rather peculiar fact, for no rain to any ap preciable extent .had fallen In Char lotte In several daya. The excess of water evidently came from a distance. Tho gentleman had come over Tues day afternoon and found the river to be normal and hence his surprise yes terday morning when he found cross ing sn Impossibility. He had to leave his automobile here and pay a man $5 to take him over In a canoe at Rozzell's ferry. TAILORED WAISTS LADIES' ORCHESTRA GOOD.

L. Barrlnger place at No. 20 West Trade, unearth ed In their excavation an ancient well which supplied the famous Cook'a Inn at which Mr. Oeorge Washington, In May, 1791, was registered as a guest. Its presence was clearly indicated about half way between front and rear; the dirt with which It waa filled having sunk and made a cavity. Tho rear porch of the hotel was evidently Just over the well. It was torn down some time prior to 1854, as that was the date of the erection of the pres ent building. The workmen are preparing the place for the new Alamo theatre. Mr. A. C. Russell has moved his grocery store from East Trade strset to Middlo and Palmer streets. A Card of Thank.

Quality, style and tailoring arc forgotten; "price' is their sole ambition. Men who buy their clothes on ths "price" argument alone are ever disap pointed. The dealer who argues that point rather than merit has, in most instances, no merit to just claim. lit relics on the experience of the average consumer, assumes that he is not a qualified judge of value, and uses "price" as his strongest weapon. . Clothes sold on this argument are not worth half what you pay for them. They'll go to pieces in an incredibly short space of time lose shape and rip apart. They're made " to sell" not to wear. We rely upon the merit of our garments for our patronage and the man who is willing to pay $15.00, $18.00, $20.00, $2.5.00 and up to about $35.00 for a suit or overcoat will make a good investment.
