J. B. SHERRILL, Editor and Publisher. P UBLISHED MONDA Y S AND THURSD AYS SliO i Year, Due in Advance 1 i VOL. XXXVII. CONCORD. N. C, MONDAY, JANUARY 15. 1912. . 57 Butt UbrtrUa PLANS OP NEW DEPOT. Npw in Hands of Contractors . for ids. To Be m x30 Feet, And. of rick and Stone. To Be No Shed, 1 IWrt RtAam Heat. And W Want otti. Now is the Time For the People to Speak. Through the kindness of Mr. J. L onard Brown, of the contracting ra of R. A Brown's Sons, a repre- htativc of The Times had the op- rt unity thif morning of inspecting e.plan of the new depot for Con- rd. The plans are now in the hands id the contractors and bids will be 1 lied in January 20th. R. A. Brown's ,ns are among the bidders. The new station will be 127 x0 ct 'and will be constructed of , red ifick and stone. It will contain two w i ire i aitinjr rooms, the white waiting oru 30 by 45 and the colored wait- in g room 22 by 30. Between the waiting rooms will be the ticket of (', 35 .by 1G. The ticket offices will ive two windows on both sides. An erators "'table will also be in this lice. Adjoining the colored waiting om will be an express room 15 by and a baggage room 15 by 30. The white waiting room will con firm a ladies' rest room 12 by 9. Both aitinir rooms will contain toilet - r- rooms. The walls of the waiting jooms will be plastered above . the Jfs ainscoating, which will be . three f et high. A wall fountain in each waiting room will take 'the place of l ie old, antiquated water cooler, j The Jplans do not call for a shed, i'he eaves of the roof, however, will extend about six feet out. This will jirove quite a disappointment for the people here have confidently expect ed the Southern to build a train shed when the new depot was erected. Another- disappointing feature to the new station is the fact that the plans do no call for steam heat. "This., is Another convenience that the people have been hoping for.. There is also some doubt as to vhether the size of the building is. n keeping with "Concord's size 'and importance as a city." Those who are familiar with the depot atStates- t'ille can get a fairly correct jidea as o the kind of station to be erected lere as; the plans for the Conpord at Statesville. THe Statesville peo- failed' to get steam heat by reason Jf-the fact they did not, ask for it until the plans had been made and he bids for the work received. If the new station is to be in keep- ing with ' ' Loncord ;s importance as a city,4" which wras the i promise. made ;io Mayor Wagoner by ihe officials of the Southern, steam heat and a shed rnust yet be added to the plans. If the people here want the . station Equipped with .modern; conveniences o the traveling public that other owns have, they should make their ants known now before the bids are Biade, as it would be an injustice to he railroad to make requests after the contracts have been awarded. Big Demand for Fuel. The cold weather that has held this eetion in its grasp for a week has I ' 1 1 1 1 caused a lieavv demand to oe made n the supply of coal and other fuel 1 the local "dealers. The big snow7 jha'r fell Friday night has greatly in- .reased'th demand. But an inquiry made i by iThe Times this morning flows', that the supply is ample. Sev tr'ftl 'dealers :liave an unusually large jiock and the reports that there is imminent danger of a coal, famine Here absolutely groundless. Those rde.ring coal can do the dealers a .oat favor ly placing your order ailv in the morning. In this way fhey will have more time to deliver -'and will hot keep their teams and Mnvers out after night. lYoung-Hartsell Mill Elect Officers.

The us ual large throng of Saturday shop pers hovered around the firesides and only during the morning and early afternoon did any considerable num ber venture forth in the shopping section. Overshoes and leggins prov ed the chief article of commerce and the demands for them reached enor mous proportions. At the time the lKlinl Sin tlirrlfl V Vlcli iu at ita lioirrlit a prosperous business man of city said: "Boys,, we might as well close and save light bills. " Many streets were practicaly deserted, only a few of the owl brigade 'being in' nvlrlon Tilov lt0 i -H open stores and only ventured forth to take a peep at the mercury. By II o'clock everything was closed. At 11:30 the mercury hovered around 8,degrees and onlv the forms of two heavily clad policemen could be seen beating the cement down the. dreary, deserted looking streets. A short time after this the themometer dropp ed to 7 degrees. Here it ceased its downward flight. The absence of the Saturday night crowd was also marked with the ab sence of the Saturday night drunks. l" A K . , -Pll ' A 1. v c -I lif nlAn j-. 4- -4- It v .xf-. 7 n n 4 lAHtnW 1 n I , , - " - ,K: , - the bed chamber of Concord.

To HaTi 5 and 10 Cent Store in Room on Corner. "from little scorns big ak grow." Nothing emphasizes the growth of Julius FLher & Co., more truly than the above old and true adage. The firm started business in February of 1010, in one of the small storerooms in the Phifer building. The stock was small but well selected. From the start the business grew, and nur un-ttured by the business-like hand of the live manager. Mr .Inline F.i&hr it soon spread into larger quarters. A new home was fixed up in the store room" formerly occupied by the Con cord Drug Co. Here the business con tinued to prosper, growing strong and healthier each day until it branched out with a flourish. . Today, lacking a few years since the beginning of business, two years ago; Mr. Fisher is having his stock moved into the large and commodious storeroom in the Morris building. The new store room is furnished with modern equip ment and contains ample floor! -spfee. The. notions, ready wear andi milli nery departments all have ample and attractive quarters there. "Fisher's" has truly, grown into sturdy mercan tile oak and bide fair to grow larger and larger and continue to bear bar gains for years to come. ; In the storeroom now being vacat ed by "Fisher's" a new firm will launch out into the sea of merchan dise - and at the masthead will fly the flag of "The Crescent 5, 10 and 15 Cent Store..' ' The firm is incorpor ated and all the stock is owned by local boys. The officers are: Julius Fisher, president; AsF. Goodman, secretary, and Luther Sappenfield, manager. The new store will begin business about February 20th. Mr. Sappenfield has resigned his position at the Cannon mill and will be ac wifwjr eugau m . couuucun- ine v- .nex' business.
