NEW COUNTY BF LEE Jonesboro—Sanford People Move for It. The New County Have 1,159 Voters and $1,948,557 of Taxable P.cptrty. The people of Sanford and Jonesboro and the surrounding section are moving for a new county, to be called Lee. An advance committee. composed or' Messrs. I)r. W. A. Monroe, A. L. Me Neill, A. A. F. Seaweli and Win. Campbell, reached Raleigh yesterday to present the matter They will have a big delegation when the date is fixed for a hearing before the committee. The bill will be introduced today. The proposed territory includes about 300 square miles, made up as follows: From Harnett 27 square milcjs, Srcm Chatham 90 square miles, from Moore 174 square miles. The boundary between this territory and Chatham county is the Pee Dee River and Cape Fear River. The aggregate value of taxable prop erty is $1,948,557, which is about half a million greater than that of Scotland county when formed. This is based on the old assessment. The present tax value is much greater. There are fifteen counties with less territory than the proposed new county, fifty with less wealth. The now county will include the com munities of Sanford, Jonesboro, Lemon Springs, Cumnock, Carbonton, Broad way, etc. The above statement of the taxabV property includes, as well as farming and mercantile industries, a great many manufacturing enterprises. The bill pro vides for the location of the county site half way between the towns of Sanford and Jonesboro, which are rapidly grow ing and approaching each other. They are only two miles apart. There is not a more progressive community in the State, and new enterprises are added al most daily to the list of resources. The people in the proposed territory are progressive, thrifty, closely allied in business interests, and are unanimous and enthusiastic for the creation of the new county. The counties of Chatham and Harnett will not be materially affected, and the county of Moore will lie left far ahead ot the average in every respect. The measure is not new, the growing necessity of a new county having become more and more apparent every year. The facilities for the transaction of busi ness will be greatly enhanced, and in fact the relief of the people in this respect has become an absolute necessity. There will not be a more compact or homogeneous county in the State, or one which will make more rapid progress. Only a few years after the passage of the bill will see Lee county crossed with a net work of macadamized roads, with taxable property more than doubled and the machinery of government running as smoothly as any where in the State. It is the opinion of the people in the proposed territory that they ought to b ■ turned loose along the lines of progress they have marked out, and this can only be done by giving them a new county. It is well enough to say that Hie measure is not meeting with the strenu ous opposition usually found in portions of the affected counties outside the ter ritory, find there is a large clement which concedes that the county should be created. The number of polls taken from Chath am is 200 with $500,000 of property; from Moore 920 pells and $1,392,057 of property: from Hafrnett 37 polls and $56,500 of property. The new county taouldj of course assume its proportion of the debts of the three counties. This would let the new county have a debt to begin on of about $7,500. Senator Overman to Washington. (Salisbury Sun.) Senator Overman will leave next week for Washington city and will spend two weeks there familiarizing himself with the work of the various departments. Senator Overman will not return to Sal isbury until after the 4th of March, when he takes the oath of office. fC- J (MOTHERS, do you KNOW the many so-called birth medicines, and most remedies for women in the treatment delicate organs, contain more or less °P' UII h morphine and strychnine ? do You Know that opium and morphine are stupefying narcotic poisons? uo you Know that in most countries drug gists are not permitted to sell narcotics with ni a v them Prisons? , Know that ysu should r.ot take internally any medicine for the pain accom- Paying pregnancy? v Kn °w, that Mover’s Friend fs a 1 - bl f.

Foundering cf the Whitlcck (Special to News and Observer.) Wilmington, N. C.. Feb. 10.—The freight steamer “Charles M. Whitlock,” owned and operated by Capt. Fllis Sher man, of Wilmington, foundered and sunk a* Kelly’s Fluff, four miles above T’oint Caswell, on Black River, between two and three o’clock Sunday morning. She had a big cargo of shingles and rosin consigned by Mr- Frank Sessoms to par ties in Wilmington, and most of it will he lost. The steamer was tied up for the night and the crew barely had time to scramble ashore when they felt the boat quiver as she was filling up with water. She went down in about twelve feet of water and is nearly completely hidden from view. Much of the cargo floated down the river. A tug from Wilmington is now engaged in trying to float the “Whitlock.” and will probably be successful.

Children often have sores on the neck that won’t heal up. The sores may come and eo. Parents may not know what’s the matter nor what to do.
