The capitalization of the mills is I.S.OOO.- 000. ’ The Arm intends to enlarge the mills as the demand arises, and the fini.Hhing plant is now being added to. It is also believed to be financing the high grade gingham mill to be built at Meadow' Summitt, recently briefly reported iu the Manufacturers Record.

At an enthusiastic meeting of the executive committee of the Law En forcement League Ir.st night it was decided to call a mass meeting for .January 12 at 7:30 o’clock at the cotuity court house to consider many matters of importance in regard to the enforcement of laws; paying es pecial attention to me eiiforcement of the prohibition laws. Among the desired amendments is one giving i:o the police the right to seal r:?! siio’.jected places and to seize any liquors that may be found in the place. The advocates ol “the search law” believe that this will add very n’aterially to the enforcement of the prohibition iaw.s. lu otber words, some of the Asheville people are In clined to believe thai the state laws need more ‘‘leeth" to enable the offi cers to be able to oust successfully the alleged violators of tho laws. A strong protest is going to go forth to the proposed abolition of the police commission. This was discuss ed last ni^ht and it was decided that a committee composed of Zeb F. Curtis niKi Guy Weaver draft petitions protesting to the proposed abolition of the commission. These petitions are lo he liberally circulated in both the city and county, setting forth that tho commission has beer, an invalu able factor in the enforcement of the prohibition laws and that if it is abol ished the work of Col. Lusk in run ning down the alleged “tigers” will be seriously crippled. The committee io take charge of the proposed search law petition is composed of Col. Lusk, W. R. Wliitson. .Judge G. A. Shuford, T. llickm?.n and Zeb F. Curtis. Pe titions v.'iil be liberally circulated in both city and county asking for the enactment of \he iiroposed search law.

Btirgess in a supplementary btil- letin iust issued fro mthe state depart ment of agriculture gives some very valtiable and significant estimates of food prodticts shipped into North Caro lina vhai ought to be grown by the farmers of tho state. It shows that not less than SO,500 tons of mill feed valued at SI,368.000 came into the state; $4,227,686 w'orth of wdieat and flour; S»!.S77.148.G6 wot'th of cured meat; .^l.li’o.inG worth of corn and oats, ,$2L’i.S7r> worth of hay; worth of butter. This special investi gation by State Agronomist Burgess shows th:;t every farnitr should miike ir a pont ro at least raise his own home supplies no matter to what sjie- cial crop his lands may be a^lapied. lie says he would not expect all coun ties to raise all of their home supplies but sees no reason v/hy the croj/ de- velo.mient should not l e siirii as to en able the average to be brought to that point v.here t^he home supply products should not be sufficient to eliminate the heavy drain to v.hich the state is now being subjected in purchasing these stitiilies elsewhere.

Agreement On Pension Affairs By .Associated P^ess. London. Jan. 7.—An evening paper publishes v/hat imrports to be tiie text of an agreement between Ru'=- sia and Germany on Persian affairs and supposed 'o a result of the meeting of iZmjieror V/T'>iaui and Em- ppror Nicholas at Polsdam last No- vernijer. According to the text printed Ger many disclaims any political interest in Fersia and recorinixes Ru.ssias in terests in Northern l'er;da. Russia, on her part, agrees to co-operate :ii bttilding the long proposed Bagdad railway and its branches and to give German commerce in Persia eQu^'»l^y of treatment. This important pact; quite likely will be resented by France and Great Britain as dlr.loyalty on Rus sia’s part to their entente.
