THE IIAS1) OF THE CiUPENTEK.
It ( an He S en at All Times Within
Our Hiiundarlis A Steady Increase
of U11 tidings.
If one could only see at one
time the many houses that are
constantly being built in our
town they would realize the im
mense increase of buildings each
year. .
Iu every part of town the song
of the carpenter can be heard
and where one year ago were
vacant lots you now see it filled
with cottages. At Cannonville
just to the rear of the Black
welder stores Dr. "VV H Lilly
having a residence built for rent,
Opposite Scotia Seminary one
will soon be finished for Mr,
Y Yates and by its side another
is being built iu Mr. Chas. Wag
oner's row or new ones. U
Georgia Avenue there will ere
long bo a beautiful residence
fiaishod for Mrs. Laura Allen.
At Forest Hill, in the direction
of the oil mill, the Odell Manu
factoring Co. has completed
number and have also built sev
eral over in another part of their
property.
On South Main street Mr. Lu
ther Bost will soon have a beau
tnul now residence and just
across tho street the lumber is
b Ving placed for a nice residence
for Mr. V C Correll.
To add to tho list, going into
tho future slightly, it is just that
we mention the new steam laun
dry building and the new Ca
barrus mill, which will be erected
later. Wo aro rapidly incroas
ing, but it is no boom, for tho
latter are not long-lived, but ou
increase is steady.
He Used Five lMitamite Cartridges.
Scarcely ever does one hear of
more awful suicide than was
that of J J Newman near Gold
Hill. Ho kept a diary and made
notes in h'.s bock every few min
utes before taking his life, say
ng that he was of , sound mind
but that tho fates were against
him. Tho last notation in his
book at 3.38 o'clock that night
read: "I tie five cartridges to
gother and prepare to die by
them. Short fuse. J. J. New
man." This was the last note he
made before his life was ended
He requested that his body be
buried without a coffin by the
side of an oak treo in tho old
graveyard on Dutch creek. The
emains were interred according
to his request Wednesday even

Death of Miss Coleman.
A lotter was received by Mr,
Ed McDonald 'Wednesday an
nouncing the death of his niece.
Miss Carrie McDonald Coleman
which occurred in a hospital in
Philadelphia on the 16th inst,
M.iss Coleman was 2G years old
and was the eldest daughter of
Mr. McDonald's sister, Mrs. D R
Coleman, of Belloville, Canada,
who was born and educated in
Charlotte and has a number of
friends in this city. Tho lottor
stated that the remains' wore
taken to Belleville for interment.
Charlotte Observer.
Miss Coleman's mother visited
hero about a year ago during the
illness of her mother, Mrs. Caro
ine McDonald. Tho young lady
was a nioco of Capt. Chas. Mc
Donald here.
Mimila Not Safe for Women.
The War department is still
loath to permit-the ladies of
flicers' families to reside in
Manila. Following is a form of
letter which is being used by
Secretary Root in response to all
equests from army women for
transportation to tho Philip
pines:
"General Otis has requested
that the ladies of Officers' fam
ilies should not be permitted to
go to Manila. The officers them
selves are liable at any time to
bo ; ordered to - distant-parts
of the Islands, so that .they are
unable to furnish protection for
their famil'ios, and Manila is not
yet a 2laee where lt. as probably
that an American wdman can
live without protection. If a
lady has male relatives living in
Manila in whose family she will
live and who will furnish her
protection iu the absence of the
officer oh whose account she
asks transportation, tho quartermaster-general
is authorized to
; '.. her passage on a traus-
;,,.:t." ' ' !

ACCEPTS ANOTHER POSITION.
M. L. Moore Resigns His Position at
the Odoll Mills to Superintend a Cot
ton Mill in Tennessee.
We are sorry to learn that our
townsman, Mr. M L Moore, who
for many years has beon with
tho Odoll Manufacturing Co.,
but who until recently returned
from Winston-Salem where he
was superintendent of a cotton
mill for some time, has resigned
his position here to accept the
suporlntendency of a cotton mill
at Herrimon, Tenn.
Mr. Moore leaves Monday for
his new position. His family
will not move yet but will leave
in a few weeks.
Mr. Moore had charge of the
spinning at the Odell mills and
accepted the suporintendency of
a 7,000 spindle yarn mill.
Will Snyder In T-aulile A fain.
The Charlotte Observer con
tains the news that a young man
named Will Snyder, of that place,
ha3 been jailed on the charge of
raising the amount of two checks
paid to him.
Concord and Mt. Pleasant
both know this same fellow, and
ke the Observer, know his
reputation to be a bad one. He
has been in trouble here. He is
tho fellow that rented Aleck
HartselPs ' bicycle ' once for a
short while and was caught miles
away with it. He was once
ndicted for forgery in Charlotte
and had it not boen for his age
ho would have suffered heavily.

NO CHANGE IN THE STRIKE.
Some Places Are Giving the Railroad
Company Some Trouble, But Thus
Far the Strike Hai Failed to Accent
plish IU Point.
On this part of the Southern
and at Concord especially wo see
no effects of the strike, though
at some places there has been a
change made by the strike of the
telegraphers. There 1 at pres
ent no agent at Harrisburg, as
everything is closed up there.
Numbers of the operators in this
part of the State who left their
offices are congregated at Salis
bury, Greensboro and Charlotte.
The Lexington Dispatch has
the following of the sitnation
there:
"Sheriff Dorsett received a
telegram from the railroad au
thorities Saturday notifying him
to summons a number of men to
guard the offices at the four tele
graph stations located in this
county. The sheriff compll
with these orders and now ha
two men night and day at Le
ington, Thomasville, Conrad
Lmwood and iioltsburg to pif e
vent any possible tampering wiJth
the wires or molestation of the
operators. The company puys
these guards, and they also h ave
their entire section force rjen
gaged as track walkers. ',
"The strike is yet on and 1 no
one can tell what will be the oiut
come." J
As for Concord it has beon ex
pected that the strikers wousld
be here occasionally viewing tlie
situation and probably trying
desperately to induce the men to
leave their places, but there ha s
beon no trouble here, ihougli
preparations had been made im
case there should be. An officer
has always been about the deprV
during the night. i f
The Asheville Citizen gives the
following account of an instance
near there which is somewhat I
similar to the case at Harris-1
burg:
"A new agent was sent to Sri-ji
va vesterdav. but was civen toil
understand that it would not be a I
' ' ' m
healthy place for him. He actec
Uii Lin J jjiuii auu loiu, .
"Some of the people at Slva
say they will have no agent; ex
cept the one they had befoye the
strike, and there will be noyagent
1, V.;nf aA lftff
sent there until tna peopie sig
nify their willingness tcV accept
whoever the company chevoses to
send.
"There is still Borne delajy in
the shipment of freight to sJnall
stations where no agonts iliave
yet been installed.
"All wires are worming as
usual today.
"J F Lay tells the Citizen
there are 55 out on the Afshoville
division today, and thaft there
are six "scabs" at worfs on the
division, and 17 non-uifiion men
still working. "The bof s ftre in
the best of spirits, rflid deter
mined to remain out! ur,tilwe
win,' he said. 'Foulleen men
have gone out in tbi last five
days. During that l.ima four
scabs have become disgusted and
loft their jobs."'
-Dally of 20th.
An Engineer Talka About the Situation
"I wish you wouldi state that
there is no truth wha);ver in the
report that is going t ie rounds
that the Brotherhood L- holding
secret meetings at Spen.'r re
garding the strik J, " said a well
known engineer to a Record man
at Greensboro today. "The
journals will show that a meet
ing is hold almost every Sunday,
for this is the only time the men
are laying off, but not a word has
ever been said about the strike.
Furthermore, if a strike on our
part was ordered, we could not
get ready for it under a month.
It's all bosh and nonsense."
The gentleman who spoke is
well known in railroad circles
and knows what he is talking
about.--Greensboro Record.
The season at Southern Pines
and Pinehurst is drawing to a
close and people are leaving on
nearly every passenger train for
thoir homes in the North. The
season has been a very success
ful one for these two well known
resorts. Pinehurst will be pre
pared to accommodate more
guests next season, as a large
now hotel is being built there.

est of the Union Copper Mine to the
Standard Oil Company.
The recent rumor that the
Standard Oil Company was try

by W G Newman. This means
thai the Standard Oil Company
will have the controlling interest
in the mine in the future. Your
correspondent hasn't been able
to learn the amount Mr. New.
man received for his stock, but
those who know most about the
transaction state that the consid

I can't pick unjust now we re
cently saw that an ingenious boy
in Now York' recently lit upon a

vesting than there were with
sums maturing and drawing on
others this ingonious boy was
"making" money. Had ha
