RALEIGH WATER SITUATION RAPIDLY GROWING SERIOUS A Plan to Gather Local History, Through the School Children, Being Con sidered by Superintend' ent Joyner. r Qasette-News Bureau, V The Hotel Raleigh, Raleigh, Aug. 3. THE water situation in Raleigh In becoming more acute every minute, so much so that Mayor James I. Johnson has Issued a warn ing to the people of the city to be as careful of the water as possible. The railways have already been cut off and street sprinkling has ceased. Unless there la relief soon, water for a bath will be at a premium. The time has about arrived when It will be up to the bondholders of the Wake Water company to put some more money into the plant, and- take Steps to get a stable supply for with 'the continued drought and the growing needs of RaleigU for more water, the present supply is rapidly becoming exhausted. It might be stated that Superintendent Bain is doing all that he can with ti e funds on hand but relief, it is stated must be had soon or receivership pro ceedings may become necessary. Tbere has been some talk on the streets that the company is not able to comply wtth the conditions of its charter ,fo furnishing water to the city. , Appar ently there is no overwhelming amount of sentiment for municipal ownership. : At tt meeting of the "hotted of finance of the or tff Riuetgh Jesse O.

Hinsdale, the retiring member of the board. :'..!;- . , Appears in Black's Interest. In the interest ... of Wiley Black. Ashevllle's well known character, Judge H. B. Carter appeared before Governor Kitchln today. Judge Car ter has- been Black's attorney on numerous occasions and within the last few, days there has been a de mand for the revocation of the con ditional pardon of Black. Some of the ministers of Ashevllle have been asking that Black's pardon be revoked while some oi the other citizens have asked the same IMng but Oovernor Kitchln declines to take any action until he receives the certi fied copy of the record in Black's re cent conviction for violation of the , search and selsure law. Even before application for a par don of J. K. Boys ton, formerly of Ashevllle, but noW of parts unknown, has been filed with Governor Kitchln, Ashevllle people have begun to pour in protests, Boynton was convicted of selling whiskey and given 18 months. The appeal was sustained by the Supreme court and it la stated here thai Boynton has not returned to the state to begin his sentence. It might be remarked that the Wiley Black matter has given Governor Kitchln probably as much conoern as any pardon he has granted. It Is probable that State Superln tendent J. V. Joyner may adopt the suggestion of W J Andrews of Ral- elgh and have the school children of the state on the nest North Carolina day turn over to their teachers for preservation, valuable Information that they could, by a lltla activity, learn of the local history of North Carolina. There are many points of Interest about this state, there are many items of valuable local history no means of preservation of which have been taken. As an Illustration of the point. Mr. Andrews cites the fact that a few days ago some one in a distant state wanted to learn of the origin of Lumber Bridge's name. Now Lumber Bridge is a town In Robeson county and by writing to a party In that town It was found that It got Its name In 1730 in the following way a man named Gluss settled in that County hear a I'ttle marsh and built a road towards Kayetteville. He crossed the creek on a bridge made of lumber 'hich he got from a hand power aaw mill. Th'i was the first bridge In this state built of lumber It Is said and nence the town became known as Lumxber HrUlite. An Invitation has been received by CommiHBloni'r of Labor 'and Printing . L.
