overwhelming appeal for prohibition
ever heaul in the state.
The audience applauded wildly. In

The Board Hearc Report of Building
Committee A School for the Fourth
Ward iz Suggested and Aldermen
Will Be Asked to Make the Appro
priation.
At a meeting last night of the school
board. Chairman J. L. Sexton of the
committee on buildings, reported the
progress of the work on the buildings,
which was recommended by Fire
Chief W. S. Orr.
The doors of the buildings are be
ing changed ro as to swing both ways,
so that it will be impossible in case
of, fire for the children to become
blocked in their escape by an unopen
ed door. This work will cost some
where in the neighborhood of $223.
Chairman Sexton also called the
board's attention to the heating ar
rangements in the Dilworth buildings,
which is very unsatisfactory. The
heating plant in this buildings, report
ed Mr. Sexton was such in order to
secure any degree of warmth, the fur
naces had to be made almost red hot,
and from which there was danger.
The Belmont building was also re
potted dangerous, and new stairways
were recommended. This will cost
from $200 to S375, the cost depending
on whether wood or iron is used.
All of these matters were referred
to the buildings and grounds commit
tee for action.
The question of payment of teachers
when absent came up. and Commis
sioner B. K. Blair asked that some
changes in the laws be made. These
changes provide that when a teacher
is absent on account of sickness, she
shall receive on-half salary, and the
substitute $2 per day. In case of death
in a teacher's family two days with
full pay are allowed.
All teachers absent for other pur
poses than the above reasons shall
not receive any pay, and substitutes
shall be paid by the board.
The night school committee reported
that three of these schools were be
ing taught, and that only $12 of the
$500 promised had been used.
Superintendent Graham reported an
increase of 17 in enrollment during
the last month. The attendance was
reported good, and the schools not trou
bled with epidemics of any kind.
Chairman Sexton suggested that the
city property in the Fourth Ward be
fixed up for a school building, and a
school operated there next year. This
matter was referred to the committee
on buildings and grounds, and later
on the board of aldermen will be ask
ed to make an appropriation for this
purpose.
It was decided to have the schools
open at 8:30 during the next month
ro that the schools could be let out
earlier in the afternoon.
This met with the approbation of the
entire board, as it was shown that it
did not work a hardship on any teach
er as they were already there by that
hour.
The board was presided over by Mr.
D. B. Smith, in the absence of Mayor
T. S. Franklin.
METHODIST REVIVAL
C. C. Moore at
Forest City
Special to The News.
Forest City, N. C. April 7. Satur
day afternoon Mr. C. C. Moore address
ed a large crowd of larmers and bus
iness men at this Mace. Mr. Moore
had not before met t.:o farmers of
Rutherford county, lit:io..;h. he was
not v. stranger to thei,:. A: a rule the
farmers of this county are leading
men, both of the secular and agricul
tural papers. Through their papers the
farmers had become familiar with the
name of C. C. Moore and as expressed
to Mr. Moore by County Supervisor
Lynch, "Your letters to the papers for
years have been of great value to the
farmers; we are glad to have you with
us."
A business man of the town said.. "I
have heard a great many speakers ad
dress the people ot this section but
never before listened to such a prac
tical business talk so full of helpful
suggestions to both farmers and busi
ness men."
Mr. Moore called the attention of his
audience to the small bank of the
town. He said he would venture to
say that before 3 o'clock each day
every merchant in the town made a
deposit in the bank of all the money in
the store; that the merchant consider
ed the bank the safest place to keep
his money, rather than in his own fire
proof safe in his store.
But the farmer looked skeptically
on the bank and the cashier; that the
farmer sold his produce receiving a
check in payment went to the bank,
cashed the check and carried the cash
out of town and out of circulation.
He advised the farmer to open a
bank account, put all money on depos
it in the bank and pay all accounts
with checks.
Mr. Moore said the farmer need not
worry about the cotton mills shut
ting down; said the mills in our state
are managed by level headed business
men, most of them country raised bays
and that the mill managers would plan
some way by which the mills would
run even with cotton at 15 cents.
Mr. Moore was well received and
made friends on every hand.
He is to speak at Rutherfordton on
Monday.

Hayward and Clark's Cotton Letter.
Liquidation of May has been less pro
nounced today and after an initial de
cline of 5 to 7 points on lower cables.
Cotton rallied to last night's prices and
has held steady with a light trade,
Philadelphia interests being the best
buyers of July.
There was little news of conse
quence. The English spinners turned
down the proposition to close Easter
week, which was taken to indicate a
fair supply of orders.
Spots in the south were reported as
holding their own and not following
the decline in futures, 40 points above
.New York May being paid.
lhe map looked as though another
cold wave might get into Texas tomor
row, but it is rather early to do any
damage.
Future prices here depend largely
upon the volume of May liquidation
yet to come, and while the remnants
of the pool longs in that month hang
over the market rallies may only be
temporary.
STOCKS
Carpenter, Baggott & Co.
New York, April 8. Influenced by-
lower cables our market opened at the
lowest point of the day. There was
further liquidation in the near months,
but this was offset by heavy buying
from the ring crowd and covering by
some of the larger short interests.. New
Orleans and the south were good buy
ers and the market assumed a steadier
tone under this influence, advancing
easily and meeting with none of the
pressure that was so noticeable on ev
ery rally yesterday.
Rain is predicted very generally
throughout the belt for tonight, which
will no doubt have a sustaining in
fluence on the fall months.
A wire from New Orleans at noon
reported spots unchanged and steady
with a better demand. Interior points
thus far reported are unchanged, with
the exception of Augusta and Little
Rock, where slight declines are noted.
The feeling seems to be that the liqui
dation in May has about run its course
and that the market should respond
with a further rally.

W. H. C. BARK LEY, Prop.
Another Receiver jor
The Whitney Company
(From Asheville- Citizen of 5th.)
With a large array of legal talent
present, Judge Pritchard yesterday
held a hearing in the case of the
Whitney Company, the great power
concern with $10,000,000 capital,
whose enormous plant near Salisbury
was on Feb. 3rd placed in the hands
of Receiver John S. Henderson, of
Salisbury, and as the result of some
sharp charges the court named Chas.
W. Smith, of Granite Falls, N. C,
as co-receiver wfih requirement thai,
he give $25,000 bond.
The court refused permission to
the big contracting company, the T.
A. Gillesnifi Oomiianv. to sue the re
ceiver to enforce its claim of $301,-
113.17, but allowed it to be made a
party intervenor so that the federal
court, which has taken control of the
Whitney Company's affairs, will pass
on the merits of the claim.
The two principal matters before
the court were this request of the
Gillespie Company to sue the re
ceivers and the motion of the Bank
ers' Trust Company of New York for
a second receiver, both being made in
the original suit brought by the bank
ing firm of A. O. Brown &. Co. of
New York, in which the first receiver
was named. The Gillespie Company
ciaimid that it had not been paid
for work done on the big plant, but
while this was admitted, the receiver
objected to being saed in the state
court, since this action would inter-'
fere with the receivership. Objection
to the motion of the contracting com
pany was also presented by the Bank
ers' Trust Company incidental to its
motion for another receiver. The first
company's petition made some start
ling charges, although in a decor
ous an dlegal way.lt intimated, al
though it disclaimed any reflection
on any one, that it had been a trifle
deceived about the receivership move.
It set up that its representative had
on Feb. 1st been in consultation with
representatives of Brown & Co., and
President Whitney, and there was a
discussion of the company's troub
les, but nothing whatever was said
about anv intent to have a receiver
ship, although the Bankers' Trust
Company represented about three mil
lions in bonds., while Brown & Co.
held not over $1,200,000' of bonds; yet
at that very time a petition for a re
ceivership was prepared and sworn
to that day and was on Feb. 3rd pre
sented to the judge. The petition
stated that while it had no complaint
to make of Col. Henderson, he was
much closer to Brown & Co. than to
other creditors and did not consult
with them, while he did consult with
Rmwn Xr Co.. and therefore it was
suggested that the larger interests
should have a representative as re
ceiver, and the .court accordingly ap
pointed Mr. Smith.
The petition then made the grave
assertion that the receiver had em
ployed Prof. Adams of Harvard Uni
versity, noted expert on water power,
to make an examination of the Yad
kin river power plant., which it has
been planned tor the receiver to com
plete, and that the expert's report
showed that there were serious in
herent defects in the plans which
were so great as even to render it
valueless as a money earner, and
that the expert recommended radical
changes which would cost a vast
amount of money. It also asserted
that the receiver intended to sue the
contractors, the Gillespie Company,
for $950,000 damages.
The Bankers' Trust Company and
Grace E. Arents were allowed to be
come intervenors.
Judge Pritchard made an order
that all creditors, save those already
parties, file their claims with the re
ceivers within three months or else
be barred from participation.
Counsel present were: Judge Bur
well, T. J. Jerome and Dix W. Noel
Hayward & Clark's Cotton Letter.
New Orleans, La., April 8. Liver
pool offered no resistance, but on
the contrary declined two points more
than called for. Spots were marked
10 lower. A cable from there says:
"A proposition to close mills dur
ing Easter week was turned down."
Our markets opened lower but re
acted on buying to cover.
Shorts are so numerous that they
appear afraid of each other and fear
that by selling more they only feed
each other.
As nobody offered any larger quan
tity of contracts after the opening,
smaller shorts, who only follow the
action of larger traders, turned to
cover.
A feature this morning was that
a leading export house absorbed all
new crop offers under 9.30.
Weather conditions during the past
24 hours were favorable, only, scat
tered sjiowers are recorded in the
northwestern belt. However, official
forecasts say showers today and to
morrow, entire belt cooler, tempera
ture near freezing in Oklahoma.
Spots are steady.
Reports from the goods markets
are still bad.
The Journal of Commerce described
the yarn and goods market as de
moralized, impossible to quote as
some concerns order their stock sold
at an yprice.

Morehesd fi-. Co.'c Letter.
New York, April 8. Calbes came
noor again, and the weather was good
in the belt and prices were down to
a new low level. This morning there
was less pressure and some good cov
eiing by shorts which started a little
improvement, but did not go far. The
market, was very susceptible to bear
pressure and advices were not enconr
5'ring. Snot business was small and
the continent was said to have sold
some on this side. The weather at
tracted most attention here, the liqui
dation that was so marked yesterday
not being in evidence. There1 was some
cold weather in the northern belt. Pre
dictions of showers and colder over
the belt tomorrow, but the presumption
is that farm work will not be interfered
with to any great extent.
It remains to be seen what spinners
will do about buying spots or how
much concessions will be granted by
holders. The market is likely to have
another spell of dull steadiness.
