Raleigh, July 28. With delegations of citizens begging Solicitor H E. isinrris to go the limit with his in- vestigation and Mayor T. B. .Eldridge tiring a broadside at tne state lor it? failure to bear the " expense of draining the old rock quarry in East Ealeigh interest today centers in tne meeting of the State buildings and grounds committee called by Gov ernor Morrison to consider the much mooted question: To drain or not to drain. Mayor Eldridge fires point blank at "The State" without ailing any offi cials' names. The city of Raleigh has always been a goat for the State,, the mayor said, and imposition after im position has been leaped on Raleigh by the State and the city has been forced to bear them until the rock quarry controversy arose. fThe city of Raleigh has bucked in the matter of draining the quarry, and intends to stay bucked," the mayor declares, with heat. ; The State claims the service of the various departments of the city gov--rnment just the same as any tax pay ing citizen without contributing any thing to the revenue Mayor Eldridge says in discussing what he termed "the habit of the State in passing the buck to the city whenever possible." It is the mayor's belief that the State now would force the city of Raleigh to undertake the work of draining the seven million gallon pond if there were any way to do so. He then gives in detail to the local paper claims held by the city on the State for pav ing in front of. State owned, prope?ty amounting to .22,240.04 which 1 &a 'been standing since 1914. - .i feakaigtiiat. he ftrrtbeg-h U fffTcgls. to have the quarry drained thec.-25 or more citizens - calling upon'.-Soli-j citor Norris stated vtttpiUpi teset demanded the drainagend sub sequent investigation ' of. any disclos ure that mav result from the work, j The meeting of the rrablie buQdiners and grounds committee which Govern-1 or Morrison instructed Bryan .

The United States Public Health lime xieaiLii I - bervice's report of a semi-famine and pellagra epidemic :n the 'otton belt is viewed in official circles here as an effort on the part of the Harding ad ministration to injure North. Carolina and the other Southern State's. The plan is suggested as having been well planned by the officials at Washington. The public health ser vice turns the statement that there was widespread famine and disease in the south over to President Harding and he gave publicity to the report in calling upon the Red Gross for help even before the news agencies had been given an opportunity to make an investigation as to the truthful ness of the statements. Because of the method used in turn int, v, . , -i - . j here that the Harding statement andiT ay ( . ' the report of the public health service - igwffpwwyp"" were intended to deceive. The politics j is easily seen in the whole scheme. A Republican administration with its hands well filled with labor difficulties throughout the north and east sought prevent further Mention by call ing attention to what they were pleas- to term a "semi-famine and pella gra epidemic" in the Southern States. Laborers in the north and east Who might have considered coming to the south at this time would, of course, have been scared off by. .President Harding's alarm which pictured a ter rible condition throughout thft cotton feelt with people dying of starvation a&d disease. State health Officials point out that pellagra, north or south, is not a epidemic disease." It is not conta gious and is not considered as com mg under the class of -diseases from which epidemics occur. ? INFANT SON OF J. H. TAYLOR DIED .THIS A. M. The infant.

The league was backed by virtually the entire busi ness interest of the capital which had become tired of unpatriotic mani festations by communist's labor un ions, what they considered to be causeless strikes and sabotage, the flaunting of red flags, bomb outrages and more partictlarly by the demoral ization of commerce caused by a strike of a communist union of steve dores which had tied up the port for two weeks. The seemingly benevolent attitude of the government toward what they held to be the unwarranted demands of the trJiIon had tried their patience and tljey; were determined to ta.ke mat ters incthir own hands to the point of armed intervention if ncessary. .
