LITTLE-LONG
MILLINERY OPENING.
It it had not been made to order
a prettier day for a spring millinery
opening could not have dawned than
today.
I.ittle-Long, with their usual fore
thought, chose today as the day for
their first millinery opening—ope^ning
of •'readytto-wear-hats" as? they called
it..
Southern women formerly bought a
“summer hat" and a ‘‘winter hat." Now
it's a shirt waist, or ready-to-wear liat,
an automobile bonnet, and a dress hat
for each sras(ni.
The ready-to-wear hat camo in with
the man tailor for women. The tailor
ed hat has gotten to be an essential of
the stylish woman s- hai box.
The designs in this class of women’s
lieadgear, shown in the ILttle-Txing's
millinery parlor today surpass, In
style and beauty any offerings ever
seen in the cases of ibis big firm.
The hats shown arc extremely siyl.
ish. Tiie newest designs are to be
seen and the newest combinations of
colors. The rolling brim sailors in va
rious colors; the soft neapolitan tur
ban of black, with touchings of Emer-
ald-Isle velvet, or coral velvet: charm
ing designs in black and -white—the
distinctive mark of the season; rolling
sailors with ropes of coral beads, or
straw festoonings; cunning designs
for children in iingerle, straws and
chips are shown.
'I'hose who ‘play’’ the black and
white, preferably, in hat effects, will re
joice in the fact that this is a black
and white season.
The trimmings shown in Little-
Long’s j)arlors are exceptionally beau
tiful. The new coral bead effects and
ro.'-ette of coral are especially pretty.
Beside many creations of Miss
Dougherty’s own designs, there are the
always “smart” patterns of Knox,
Phipps, Gage and Randa.

THE GOVERMENT’S
DEMURRER SUSTAINED
«
By Associarrd Press.
Savannah. Gc... March 0—.Judge
Emory Speer, in Mie Fnited States
circuit court today, sustained the
government’s denairrer to the pleas
in abatement filed by the Merchants
and Miners’ Transportation Company
to the throe indictments brought
against it for a violation of the Hep
burn interslate commerce act. This
was followed by the calling of the
cases against the company to trial
on ihcir merits liy assistant United
States Attorney .Viexander Akerman.
Counsel for the defendant steamship
company filed demurrers tx) the in
dictment. Chief among tiiese was one
in which counsel alleges that the
Hei)burn act is contrary to the con
stitution is so far as that part which
applies in a discriminatory manner
to a carriage between two points
where the can.iage is pai’tly by rail
and partly by water, and does not-
apply to a carriage b.etween the
same points entirely by water. These
demurrers will be argued tomorrow
morning.
The shiptnents with which the gov
ernment alleges the company violated
the law were between Philadelphia
and Savannah.

Water Each Day — Great
Lumber Industry There
Also.
Organized for the one purpose of de
velopment, with abundant capital to
push to completion any pro.ject under
taken, and with unlimited faith in the
ultimate greatness of the magnificent
Avater powder and beautiful bungalow
homes nearby, ofiScers of the Blue
Ri(Jgo Land Company, at a meeting
here last night formally accepted the
charter recentl.v granted by the sec
retary of state and elected officers for
the year. The officers are:
Mr. J. M. Harry, president: Mr. O. J.
Thies, secretary and treasurer; Mr. W.
D. Wilkinson, vice-president; and Mr.
C. H. Robinson, manager. The board
of directors is composed of the follow
ing gentlemen, all from Charlotte, and
each a substantial business man w hose
confidence in the vast number of acres
held by the new company is enthusias
tic: Messrs. ,T. M. HArry. O. .1. Thies,
C. H. Robinson, S. E. Messner, W. D.
Wilkinson and A. W. Burch.
No Stock for Sale.
The office of the company is located
at No. 21 North Tryon street iu the
ofTices with the Carolina Realty Com
pany. Xo stock is for sale, the offi
cials having all mone.v necessary for
the development of all the land it owns
near Kanuga Lake and Hendersonville,
one of the principal summer I'esorts of
the Old North State. The maximum
capital stock authorized under the
charter is $100,000.
I'nder its charter the Blue Ridge
I^and Company may buy or sell land,
may operate a water supply company
or n^iy develop any water pow'er It
may see fit to. . There are no restric
tions to be placed around the officials
of the company, no obstacles in their
way. Progress is their watchword
and before the summer has gone they
intend to have erected many beautiful
bungalows and residences upon theii
acres lying one mile from Kanuga
Lake in the direction of Henderson
ville.
Down through a gorge carved by
Nature’s Sculptor run in turbulent
force the cold waters of the Dismal
creek. Fr^ its source the Blue Ridge
Land Conlpany has purchased land on
either side straight to the edge of
Kanuga I.ahc, forninst wiiich there is
already a summer resort built by Mr.
George Stephens, and where many cot
tages dot the landscape.
Great Vi/ater Supply.
On tract of 110 aci’es is owned by
the new company upon which there is
a water supply of 250,000 gallons of
water a day.
And this is four hundred feet above
the town of Hendersonville, itself nest
ling far up above the sea level. By
natural flow water from this mountain
ous stream could be sent into Hender^
sonville and w^ould for twenty-five
years be ample supply for that mecca
of pleasure-seekers.
Nearer to Hendersonville the com
pany has purchased many tracts of
land and these will be developed ac
cording to the wishes of those w^ho
are to locate there permanently or
only for the summer months. A nur
sery Avill be established, truck farms
have been laid out, bungalow's have
been planned and large residential
sites have been chosen.
Since the appliction was made to
the secretary of state for the char
ter there has 1)een any number of in
quiries received by officials of the
company from people who w'ant to
either subscribe to some of the stock
or to purchase some site upon w'hich
to build a home for the summer, or to
buy a few' acres for a truck farm.
Thus far the officers and directors
have stoutly declined to put any share
of stock on the market. The can bor-
row' any amount they w'ant upon the
investment, but they do not even want
to borrow\ They have financed the
proposition to its ascendency and
now they only w’ait for developments
that are to follow.
By far the most valuable holding of
the new land company, whose offi
cers are Charlotte people, is the w'ater
sui>ply. Not only can the cold pure
water be used by any city, especially
Hendersonville, but there ^re proba
bilities of great water power. Elec
tricity can be generated bj' the force of
the falls.
In this Dismal creek, along the
banks of w'hich the company owns
more than a hundred acres, are fishes
in great quantities. No more fascinat
ing sport in the world is there than
playing with a strong and game trout
from a mountain stream. The bunga
lows will be in easy reach of this
stream, high above anything like a
swamp, with an atmosphere that ig
clear, cool, bracing.
The Lumber Industry.
Back from Kanuga Lake and far
awav from Hendersonville the lands
extend. Chestnut oak, great trees that
rear their branches even above the
peaks of the mountains, stand as sen
tinels. These are to be cut down for
lumber. In the lumber industry alone
the Blue Ridge Land Company officials
will reap a rich dividend. This lumber
is to be markets this year, and in
this way the land will be cleared more
for the farmer and the trucker. There
is but little pine lumber to be found,
but that which grows is of the finest
grain and will find a ready market.
Officials of the company seen todav,
after the very enthusiastic meeting
held last night, were demonstratively
optimistic. The outlook le one that
warrants them In their, enthusiasm
and their optimism. And all of them
are citizens of Charlotte.

Cincinnati, O., March 0.—Whether
the ultimatum presented late yester
day to the management of the Cincin
nati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific
Railroad (Queen & Crescent Routed
by the firemen on the system, declar-
hig that a strilie w^ould take effect Ai
5:30 p. m. today unless white firemen
are granted preference over negroes,
shall take effect, was dependent upon
a conference here today between rc])-
resentatives of the men and the rail
road.
Vicc-President Pov.'ell, of the rail-
load, declined to answer the communi
cation of the firemen last night, say
ing that it reached him after business
hours. The men assured him that
thej’^ w'ould take care of locomotives
/attached to mail cars but w^ould not
haul ppsenger or freight cars after
the strike begins.
H. O. Trott Talks.
Vice-President H. O. Trott. of the
of railroad, skirting the Southern,'
WoKtorji Qn/1 ivnrtiiQi.i-, -■ igincmeit toda\ said:
Western and Northern borders of the
country. His speaking dates are so ar
ranged that he will delive. at least
one address in each state through
which he passes.
W’hen the present journey is finish
ed there will ,be but one or two states
in which he has not appeared since
hi& retirement from the wiite house.
These probably will be visited at some
time in the future.
Colonel Roosevelt made the journey
from New' York in ordinary sleeping
car which was w'ell crowded. He oc
cupied a drawing room compartment,
but made no effort to secure privacy
unusual to patrons of sleeping cars.
Several personal friends who happen
ed to be aboard the train visited him
at different times, and the secretary
of War, Mr. Dickinson, who boarded
the train at Washington, spent much
time in the colonel’s state room. Mr.
Dickinson is to speak afthe Southern
Commercial Congress, now iu session
ill Atlanta, and he read his Sfpeeck
to Colonel Roosevelt during the jour
ney. Its subject matter was discussed
in a casual way, but the talk was pure
ly a friendly chat, without significance
Colonel Roosevelt smilingly refused
to dis-cuss any of the public questions
of the day, either the Mexican situa
tion or any other.
Several of his callers made refer
ences to possible political develop
ments, but the colonel passed them by
without notice.
Telegrams asking Colonel Roosevelt
to widen the scope of his tour and take
in many additional points in the West
and South, delayed the train during
the day.
No new points w'ere added to the
list, however, as it is physically impos
sible for the colonel to do more in the
time at his disposal than he already
has planned to do. He has combined
the opening of the Roosevelt dam and
the delivery of the Earl lectures
at the University of California into
a trip which also will permit him to
comijly with a lew’ of the requests for
addresses with which he has been bom
barded from all parts of the country.
Every® moment of his time for the
whole trip is taken up in addresses
and he can not extend the program.
There were no unusual events dur
ing the trip to Atlanta until the Geor
gia line had been crossed. At several
stations in Georgia small crowds had
gathered to greet him but he did not
know it and they were disappointed.
He Avas told that a number were w’ait-
ing to greet him at Gainesville, and
he appeared on the platform for a
minute at that town, the first time dur
ing the trip. A w'otnan in the crow’d
tossed him a bunch of Georgia violets
by way of w^elcome to the stand and
the colonel pifined them on his coat.
‘Unless the company agrees to lake
off all negro firemen from preferred
freight runs as well as passenger runs,
^e will call the men at 5:30 according
to the order issued last night. The
fiiemen will leave iheir origines wher
ever they may be, whether they are
passenger or freight engines, between
stations or not.”
Vice-President Powell, for the rail
road company, said:
“This is not a question of wages but
of the interpretation of a printed rule
or contract. I do not think there will
be arouble.”

popular justice of the peace, has
