Open Raleigh Hotel January I. The new Sir Walter Hotel, Raleigh’s million-dollar project, will be opened for business on January Ist, This is the definite date set for the formal opening and Manager V. St. f loud of the Bland, who is in charge of all arrangements, stated that the ten story hotel will be fully completed be fore that time. Work on the structure has reached a point where carpets are being laid and practically all interiol painting com pleted. The lobby and spacious dining room is now the center of interior activities of workmen and these two parts of the hotel will be completed within a few days. Installation of mar ble in the lobby and corridors is the only thing to be completed before work men leave these sections of the interior. All furniture and other equipment is stored at different/ plaices in the city and are ready to be installed. This part of the job will be handled during the first of December. Post and Flagg Cotton Letter. New York. Nov. 21. —Ginning was slightly above expectations but still so small as to confirm strongly the lower estimates of the crop and it is pointed out that if ginning for the balance of the season should exceed last year by a quarter million the crop would barely reach nine one-half. Mills still complain loudly of inability to secure business on a satisfactory basis and the air is full of talk of curtailment. That will be compulsory even if not voluntarily adopted if consumption is to be two million less than last year which is about what it will have to lose with a supply so limited as that in prospects. Private advices however assert that re gardless of price Lancashire will use 15 to 20 per cent more than last year and it is generally felt that domestic trade will take a distinct turn for the better after the turn of the year. There are rumors that considerable cotton will reach here for delivery on December but with conditions as they promise to develop it looks that it will be readily taken care of though heavy tenders oil TME (fONIJORD TIME? the first notice day might weaken that position temporarily. The undertone of the market remains surprisingly strong and though there must be a breaking point somewhere no one seems confident where it will be found. POST AND FLAGG. FamJous Metropolitan Will Be Re modeled New York, Nov. 22. —As soon as the big golden curtains swing down on the last performance of the season next spring, the Metropolitan Opera House, which has been New York’s home of grand opera and fashion for four de cades, will be remodeled. Plans call for extension by six to eight feet of the dress circle, balcony and family circle, to provide 1,000 additional seats and improve the visibility of the stage from the upper tiers. The picturesque orchestra circle, flanking the parquet, and the grand tier boxes, just above the famous diamond horseshoe, may disappear. The change was decided upon to meet a de mand for lower priced scats. There are believed to be 8,000 lenses in the eye of the ordinary house-fly. Co-operative Selling Proves Successful With Portuguese. Washington. Nov. 21.—A band of 100 Portuguese farmers, who can neither read nor write English and who are work ing out their economic freedom through co-operative marketing, is engaging the attention of the Department of Agricul ture. Officials here’ say these Portuguese, who live about Cape Cod in Massachusetts and call themselves the Cape Cod Straw berry Growers' Association, understand the true principles of co-operation. The secret of their success is a high quality product, carefully giiaded and imcked which has created a demand that takes practically all the berries the associa tion can market. This year more than a million quarts of berries were marketed with a gross re turn of $133,000. The association has been in existence eight years. One of the largest pictures in the world is a representation of the funeral of M. Carnot, painted b3 r a French art ist. The canvas measures one hundred and fifty square yards. Wild birds do not sing more than eight or ten weeks in the year. I.PEEACHEK TO PAY §225 FOR SHOOTING BOYS j Rev. Thomas Carrick. of High Point, j Convicted of .Assault With Deadly Weapon. High Pninr. Nov. 21.—Convicted of assault- with dead’y weapon on three Ray street school boys. Rev. Thomas C. Cnrrick. wealthy retired Baptist minister, was today ordered to pay j $225 into the court to defray the ex- I pense of medical treatment for the boys and ro pay the costs in the case. This j judgment was rendered shortly before j 5 o'clock this afternoon by Judge ! Horace Haworth, who heard the case. ! The trial began thils morning and con i sumed all of the court's time today. Much interest was shown, the court room being filled with spectators. The 74-year-old ex-preacher, who is well known throughout this section, was indicated fer shooting John Wile? and Gilbert Hoskins, two Ray street school boys, near his home lat Friday. It also developed at the hearing that Duncan Bain, another school boy sustained a superficial wound on the back as a re sult of the hooting. Testifying in his own behalf the aged minister said he shot to mark the boys and not to kill them. He told virtually the same story as that given in the in terview published in the Daily News lasfSundav morning. Mr. Garrick declared that for some time he had been annoyed by boys who stole his turnips, broke off the limbs on his trees and damaged his property in ether ways. He declared that he had used his shotgun in protecting his turnips only after -he had appealed to the police and to the school authorities and they had given him no relief. He reiterated the statement that he did not shoot the boys to ki'l them. “If I had wanted to kill them I had a gun better than that.” he said. John Wiles and Gilbert Hoskins, the two boys shot, were not seriously injured and unless there are complications they will recover, physicians testified at the trial today- TODAY’S EVENTS Thursday.

Raleigh News and Observer. The much debated “foreign stock ex emption” enacted by the last General Assembly exempts for individuals but not for corporations, according to a rul ing made by -Commissioner of Revenue It. A. Dougliton, and approved by At torney General James S. Manning and Assistant Attorney General Frank Nash. The constitutionality of the statute is already before the Supreme Court iu an action brought by former State Senator M iley M. Person, of Franklin county, and unless the opinion of the court in the Person case should cover the point as to corporations it is expected that the ruling of the commissioner will be tested in another court action.
