She SMbctttafk J. D. BIVINS, Managing Editor Established 1880 $1.00 per year, in advance VOLUME XXIV. ALBEMARLE, N. C THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1916 NUMBER 37 Albemarle and Stanly Show Remarkable Growth Over a Million Dollars Worth of New Buildings in Albemarle Within a Year Outlook for Remarkable Ac tivities Ahead. Albemarle, and Stanly county pre sent a wonderful story of progress. During the past 12 months more than $1,000,000 worth of buildings has been put under way in the town of Albe marle alone. This amounts to more than the total valuation of all property in Stan ly county 30 years ago. Announcement Friday that a large electric power development company had taken options on large tracts of land on the Yadkin river about 10 miles from the town and that work would probably begin on the construc tion of a huge power project at once gave a new impetus to industrial ac tivity in that community. It is said that something like $8, 000.000 will be spent by this new con cern in the original development. Albemarle and Stanly county are growing perceptibly. The citizens are proud of their development and the possibilities of immediate future growth. They are asking men of means and intelligence to come and join them in this forward movement. They have a wonderful story of op portunity and finished accomplish ment to tell and are giving the story in the Carolinas' Land and Industrial edition of The Charlotte Observer. One page or more will be used to present the bare facts. Many other North Carolina towns and communities are also using this means of presenting their special ad vantages to the world. These repre sentations are being prepared with great care and with the view of con servative, convincing style that will appeal to the reason and good judg ment of possible homeseelcers and in vestors. Among the laTge improvements that are now under way at Albemarla is a $30,000 school "building by the Efird Manufacturing Company for the children of its employees; a $20, 000 office building for the use of the same concern; a sewerage system costing more than 540,000 and pav ing that will cost many thousands of dollars. . The sewerage system is now being laid in the main streets. When com pleted paving will 'beVbegun. . Plans contemplate the immediate paving of all business streets. ; Scores of new residences are being erected. A noticeable'.ieature of this construction is the large number of homes for individual owners. Albemarle suffers from the figures of population given in the census. When the count was made in 1910 the corporate lines were limited, taking in only a small part of the town in the business center. Since that time more of the Teal city has been taken in but still more than half the population is outside f the corporate lines. THE ALBEMARLE PICNIC. (Orphans' Friend.) The thirteenth annual picnie -which was to have taken place in Alba marie on the 27th ult, has been post poned until a later date. When it oc curs the address will be delivered by Hon. O. B. Deaton, mayor of Winston Salem, and a band will be on hand to furnish music. Our Singing Class expects to be there and a big dinner will H served. The southern and the Southbound railroads will run con venient excursions. This picnic, an annual instiution, is given for the benefit of the Or phanage, and all the orders of Albe marle join with the Masons helping to make it a great day, not only fi nancially but in every other way. In the years that have passed the Oxford Orphanage has received many a dollar from those fine folks at Albemarle. They believe in help ing the orphans. HETTY GREEN'S ESTATE. Bellows Falls, Va. It was estimat ed in legal circles here that Mrs. Het ty Green left an estate of approxj- i innnnnnnO. Mrs. Green's maicijr u" i ' . son, Colonel Edward H. R. Green, is sole executor of the estate, since was anounced that his sister, Mrs. Matthew Astor Wilks, had declined formally to act as executrix with him as directed by the will. A. N. I. I. WORKERS ARE SECURED FOR NEXT YEAR Faculty Expected to Prove Strongest in History of the Institute Miss I' fiord Likely to Return Notes Concerning Other Members of the Faculty. The friends and partons of the Al bemarle Normal and Industrial Insti tute will be interested to know that all the workers have been secured for next year; and it is expected that the faculty will prove one of the strong est the school has ever had. Miss Ufford is spending the sum mer with friends and relatives in the North, but it is likely that she will re turn, as usual, in the fall. For twenty-two years this consecrated servant of God has given her life to the work of Christian education of the young women of the community, and for the uplift and saving of all classes of our people. This noble institution which was founded by Misses Ufford and North rup has helped hundreds of girls to obtain an education, and to be better church workers and home makers. Eternity alone will reveal the good which has been done by these godly, self-sacrificing women. Mrs. Elva C. Harris, who has been connected with the school for five years, has been chosen as superinten- ! dent, and she is working faithfully for the good of the institution. The school is indeed fortunate in having Miss Eva Rupert to return to her same position as teacher of Bi ble and Missions. It will be a pleasure to those who knew Miss Clara Giddings, when she was in the school several- years go, to learn that she ha"s been secured to teach history, English, ;ad literature. Miss Esten 'Heller, 'f Iowa, -who is to be the teacher of Latin, geom etry, and pedagogy, has had several years experience and oomes highly recommended. Miss Ruth Cfll, who is a daughter of Rev. Leonard Gill, of Charlotte, will teach English, mufhemati-F and science. Miss Gill is a talented mu sician, having specialized in violin. Miss Isabel 'Grier is to be teacher of history, mathematics and Englisn. Miss Grier has been a very successful teacher for several yeara in the -graded school of hrr home town, Fort Mill, S. C The music (department will 'he in charge of Mis Mary "Bangle, tfho is a graduate of Queen's 'College, 'Char iotte. She comes highly recommend ed as a pianist -and a faithful, consci entious Instructor by .Dr. Ninnis, woo is the head of he conservatory of music at this institution .of learning. During her two years of private teaching in Charlotte Mass Bangle has had marked success, and has giv en entire satisfaction to Tn-r patrons, We feel that not nly the .school, but the town also, is to be congratulated upon securing: her services. The domestic department is to be in charge of Miss Mary Melton. She has had years of experience in the practical work of the school, and, in addition, has a certHeate in domestic science from the State Normal at Greensboro; being, therefore, splen didly equipped for her position. Miss Melton is acting as substitute matron at the Oxford Orphanage during July and August. Miss Hendricks, who served the school so acceptably as nurse and as teacher of practical sewing during the past year, will return to the work in September in the same capacity. She is spending the summer with her sis ter in California. We are also glad to announce that Dr. L. F. Magruder will continue to! be school physician and will give weekly lectures to the students on physiology and hygiene. His efficient service for the institute in the past is greatly appreciated by both facul ty and student body. We feel that the school has no more loyal friend nor liberal helper than Dr. Magruder. While the school has passed through times of sore trial and discourage ment, we are hoping by the help of God and with the sympathy and sup port of the people of Albemarle and Stanly county that the school may be come a larger channel of blessing to worthy girls of all denominations. Ever since the establishment of the work the majority of girls receiving aid have not comt om Presbyterian families. If the school had an endowment from which to draw it would not be necessary to refuse entrance to any one wishing help to secure an educa tion. Having no funds for this pur- j ; --- i!V Mfw ;;tf E.

Mr. Miller is highly esteemaU hers, js a first-class machinist, aca nis many friends wish for lem a corrplete recovery. poe all cannot be accepted -who sip ply for aid. Many of the friends and helpers of the early years have been called to their reward. Inasmuch as this school is non-sectarian .and makes no discrimination as to denomination we are hoping for more hearty co-operation from Chris tian people of the different denomin ations in helping us to educate their worthy girls. It is not that we are not willing to help every girl who needs assistance in obtaining an education, but are cannot continue to take students who are unable to pay and help meet our obligations; unless scholarships are provided to cover their expenses. The charges are $100 for nine months, payable quarterly, in ad vance. When you consider that we give board, tuition, room ment, fuel, lights, and medical attention for $11 and 11 cents a month, it seems re markably cheap, especially in these times of the high cost of living. This school deserves your interest and support in the work we are try ing to do. Any one wishing catalogues or fur their information regarding the work is asked to address Mrs. Elva C.

To keep the bowels regular the best laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink a full glass of water half an hour be fore breakfast and eat an abundance of fruit and vegetables, also establish a regular habit and be sure that your bowels move once each day. When a medicine is needed take Chamber lain's Tablets. They are pleasant to take and mild and gentle in effect.

Yadkin is the name for a new town which is being laid off at the Piedmont toll bridge on the Yadkin river, two miles north east of Spencer. Ground was broken this week for the erection of a big bleacher fac tory to be located there. The pro moters have bought a large amount of land on the Rowan county side of the river between the toll bridge and the Southern railway. ; Valuable City Property Passes Into Hew H ands James Building Sold to Messrs. E. E. Snuggs and A. C. Heath Deal Was Made Through Albemarle Real Es tate and Insurance Company. The James Building, situated on South Second street, just above Cen tral Hotel Building, was sold a few days ago to Messrs. E. E. Snuggs and i A. C. Heath, progressive business men of Albemarle. The James Building was erected in 1009 while A. N. James, now super intendent of the Mount Pleasant cot ton mill, was in charge of the Efird Mills at this place. T. M. Denning, sujie.ir.tende.it of the Wiscassett Mills, and Mr. J-arnes erected the buildir.p, which became known as the Denning-Jan-'es Building. Later Mr. 'Donning sold his share in the building ,to Mr. James who was sole owner un- til day of sale to Messrs. Heath and Snuggs. ir.e James building housed various business enterprises, that came and 1 went, before Albemarle struck her present forward gait. This handsome edifice is now considered among the most valuable structures of its kind in the city. It is 8fixl50 feet, and un der its roof are a garage and the quarters of the Lyric Theatre, Albe marle Plumbing Company, Piedmont Club rooms and a number of offices. The recent deal was brought about successfully by John D. Heath, the new manager of the Albemarle Real Estate and Insurance Company's of fice.
