Sixteen Important Buildings
and Many Residences
Now Under Way
A
E
Secretory of Chamber of Commerce
Rambles Around and Sees Things
. Calculated to Make a Person Open
His Eyes Hardly a Block in Ral
eigh Without Building Operations
Going On Good Streets and Good
. Water Are Coming and Prosperity
Will Continue.
That energetic and genial store
house of Information, Colonel Fred
A. Olds, secretary of the Raleigh
chamber of commerce by official title
and a most valuable citizen in ad
dition, always has his eyes and ears
open when big things are in sight for
Raleigh. The colonel got so full cf
the "building fever" yesterday that
he chased all around the city making
pictures to substantiate his state
ments about Raleigh's progress.
When seen this morning by a
Times man, the colonel was just
bubbling over and on the reporter's
request to unfold what was on his
mind the busy booster told his tale
something like this:
"Raleigh is certainly growing fist
these days, and as a wit remarked
today, it needs only two things, up-to-date
streets, and an abundance of
good water. It grows fast as things
are; what will it do when it gets
both of these, for it is certainly go
ing to have them? The hour has
struck for these improvements.
"Tr-.ey tell a story about a man
who was away from Raleigh a month
and then put In twos days ijoing
around to see what had been done
since he left. To tell the truth tne
writer was away - a fortnight on a
mountain tramp and upon his re
turn must needs put in half a day
seeing new things, so it is very evi
dent that something is going on.
The fancy came to make a picture
story, something always to be pre
served, which would tell what Ral
eigh looked like yesterday, and so
the writer, taking his camera, vhlch
was operated by Mr. Albert Barden,
made, a grand tour of the town, it
would really be worth while to be a
bird, a high-flyer at that, or In an
aeroplane, in order to get a view of
the very numerous constructions
now under way here, for on perhaps
half the blocks in tiie city some sort
of work is in progress, and the sound
of the hammer and the saw are as
familiar as that of the gongs on the
street cars. So yesterday photo
graphs were taken, which tell ex
actly what the big constructions
were under way in this city betwoen
the hours of 10 o'clock and noon,
and it required sixteen pictures to
do this. The beginning was made at
the Y. M. C. A., where the iron
girders were being put in place; in.
succession coming the new parish
house and Sunday school building,
of granite, for Christ church; the
state administration building; the
six stores that Mr. B. F. Montagje
is having constructed on East tfar
gett street; the Raleigh Banking &
Trust building; that of the Boylan
Pearce Company; the Citizens Na
tional Bank, the Commercial Nation
al Bank; the work In progress on
the lower floor of the Academy of
Music building; that at the old Hotel
Raleigh, which Is to become the
Raleigh Apartment House, with nine
stores underneath; the new ware
house and office of the North Caro
lina Cotton Oil Company, now ap
proaching completion, and the half
finished spacious warehouse and of
fices at the Southern Railway de
pot; the Church of the Good Shep
herd; the dining hall and the Y. M.
C. A. building at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College; the express
office stores and fiats in rear of Cap
itol Inn.
"There are simply scores of other
buildings going up. We took a look
at the new and rapidly growing s
burbs of Boylan Heights, Glenwood
and Cameron Park, where houses
are started almost every week, and
it is to be observed that handsome
houses are the rule, houses with de
signs which show taste and which
make real homes with all the com
tortar "It was a piping hot day and it
was painfully amusing to see Mr.
Barden getting the picture of the
new Southern freight depot. The
only point from which to do this was
the roof of the old depot, which wus

WOOLEN TRl'ST HKAI ACCUSED IX DYNAMITE PM)T.
His friends ami associate have nut yet recovered from the as
tounding surprise furnished by W.-.W. Wood, president of the American
Woolen ComiNtny, when he surrendered himself to the Boston authori
ties in answer to an Indictment for conspiracy. Mr. Wood Is accused
to plotting to conceal dynamite in at least tliree places at Lawrence,
Maxs., so as to discredit the labor unions in the great strike of mill oper
atives which lasted from January 12 until March 14 last, alarmed the
country and caused a reign of martial law.

IN a quiet town in this progressive land of ours
there lived a man who was the proud posses
sor of a very active rooster. Although this good
man was held in high esteem, by his peace
ful loving fellow townsmen, they could not
willingly, adapt themselves to his rooster with the big noise. . Very early
every morning, rain or shine, this chantecler would perch himself upon the
loftiest fence post in his master's yard and give forth a series of cock-a-doo-dle-do's,
just so as to let the slumbering town know that he was up and do
ing. Before the first strain of his crow had died away on the early morning
dew-laden breezes, his master would be up and report for duty while the
peaceful slumbering neighbors would awaken and with a disgusted grunt,
pull the quilts up over their ears and drop off to sleep again. . As time sped
on the owner of this rooster was looked upon by his townsmen as one of the
most prosperous in their community.
They commenced to sit up and take
notice of this fact very seriously, so one and
all decided to take action and discover the
secrets of his success. The mystery was
quickly solved by the chairman of the town
who was appointed as a committee of one
to investigate and report. It is needless to
say what happened, for ever afterwards
these peaceful citizens lying in bed during
the early hours of the morning, would be
anxiously straining their ears to catch the first call from their successful
neighbor's chantecler. The result was that the town became a prosperous
city and is growing greater than her sister cities every minute which only
goes to show that "there never was a rooster yet who, with his everlasting
crowing did not stir up a whole community."
SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING
is only brought about by continual crowing
about your wares at the right time in the right
place and in the right way. By everlastingly
keeping at it you are bound to awaken the im
pulses of the most conservative consumer. To
impress the buying public with the merit of
your wares, your advertising must be of the
kind that will make them sit up and take
notice, ."'.

point. To tell the truth the tem
perature was way up yonder any-.
where we went, but the thing was
done, and the pictures themselves,
which are on exhibition today in the
window at Ellington's, tell the 3tory
a good deal plainer than words.

shine of new buildings, and not a
few signs setting forth very plainly
that carpenters and laborers were
wanted. On one side of the Chris

the addition to that building. Near

roadbed ready for ties and rails, the
laying of which will soon begin from
West Jones street, where the tracks
will connect with that which has
heretofore had that point as lti
terminal. ; Quite near this road the
residence of Mr. E. S. Phillips, on
the very edge of the track, has been
torn down and' is being rebuilt on
Ilillsboro street, in front of the Ashe
place, while another dwelling is go
ing up beside it. Various other new
residences are going up on Hillsboro

ex-President George T. Winston, the
animal husbandry building, one of
the .best ever constructed In the
state, the dairy, barns, silos, etc.,
make a brave show.
"We could have gone out to St
Augustine's school and obtained a
picture of the dormitory which is
under construction there, also of the
dormitory at the Methodist Orphan
age which is being built for occu-
tancy by zlrls. and we could have
made pctures of no end of dwell
ings, sometimes in groups, but time
pressed and the sixteen really big
constructions were disposed of with
in the two hours.
Raleigh people who do not get
about over their own city, and indeed

will perhaps be surprised when they
look at the pictures and see how

The adoption of the Tarren's Land
Title system, the use of free text
books in the public schools, abolish
ment of the office of county treas
urer, fee s) stem for the payment of
county officials, and the office of
county physician should be abolished
on the ground that it was an unnec
essary off co and was too great an
expense to the county. This official
received ?100 per month for his services.
The following ticket was named:
For the Legislature, A. Cameron,
Vass; Sheriff, J. M. Brown, Hemp;
Register of Deeds,, J. W. Seawell,
Carthage; County Commissioners,
W. M. Kinett. D. W. McDuffie, and
J. C. Caveness; for Coronor, H. B.

This was a very good meeting
from every standpoint. As a usual
thing the Republicans in this county
hold a very disorderly and unsatis
factory meeting but this was differ
ent, for everything passed off quietly
ana smoothly without any confusion
or any fights. The ticket is a good
one but there being more Democratic
tnan Kpublican votrs, doubtless none
of the ticket will be elected. J. T.
Copeland was elected chairman of
the Eecutive Committee lor the next
two years.
