Not to Increase Indebted ness, But to Retire Exist ing Obligations LADIES HAVE NO TROUBLE Representatives of Library Association Secure In creased Appropriation Norfolk Southern Paving On the Bum City Council Monday night heard a l truest from a delegation from the hi -stan Public Library Association, comprised, by Mosdatnes J. A. Mc r?nielJ E. B. Lewis and Hopace west ana Miss Dora Miller xor an increase in the city's appropriation to tha library of from $12.50 to $25 per month. It is quite unnecessary to state that the increase was grant ed. The Street Commissioner was instructed to proceed with the open. in? up of Chestnut street from Tif fany avenue to North street, in ac- ordance with a fonmsr order of the Council. James W. Taylor was elect ed a patrolman in the police depart ment to succeed John McDmttretl, resigned. Council enacted an ordin ance extending the -Hire line between King and Cordon streets to take in additional territory west ct Queen, tha new limit on the -west between the two streets running 210 feet beyond Heritage. Dr. C. B. McNairy, sup erintendent of the Caswell Training School, was before the body in con nection with the lighting of th-t in stitution, which has been receiving fpee illumination from the municipal- y. There is a question as to wheth er the school is entitled .to free light after this fall or not, and no definite inclusion was reached at' the mest ng. By mutual agreement the ques tion was left open until next month, by, which time all tho records in the matte? will be leaked up. j Council heard John J. Ceotrge of ChorryvHlo, N. C, in a proposition to advance the city $200,000 at 5 per cent, to retire present indebtedness, he representincr Sidney Spitzer & Oo fond brokers of Toledo. Mr. Georgo's effor was accepted. He then made a bid for the entire issue of improve ment bonds of the city, tip to half a n;llion dollars, offering par and ex penses, lhia offer was mot accepted. Council desires to wait until the bonds are ready for delivery, which may be several months yet, before making a deal, he was informed. The Norfolk Southern Railroad fs o be bistru'led, by Council's order, hut its plank paving at crossings is not satislactory. A request for im mediate remedying of the trouble is to be made. The paving is all right, it seems, but the manner of laying it anything but pleasing to the ad ministration. The railroad officials realize that the work was not satis factory and are expected to make no protest. LAST OF FLORIDA BANK ROBBERS SURRENDERS Fort Myers, Fla., Oct. 2. Chase for the four bandits who robbed a bank at Homestead yFla., on Septem ber 15 of $6,000 ended today when the body of James Tucker, one of the rgbbcrs, was found in Lopez river, and Hugh Alderman, who police eay confessed his part of the crime, eur rendered.

During their flight down the Florida east coast the bandits fought several pistol fights with pursuers, ' and three possemen ere killed. They escaped from that section, went to Key West and start ed up the west coast Leland Rice, aid to have been the leader of the can a, was saoi auu &uicu uj a rci- Would Stabilize Local Mar ket, Encourage Livestock Industry and Bring Lot of Money Into City, Say Advocates of Idea The directors of tho Chamber of Commerce at a meeting Tuesday night at 8 o'clock will take up tha matter of a packing plant for Kins- ton. "It is a well-known fact that the farmers of this section are producing more meat and more feedstuffs than ever before," said Secretary F. I. Sutton Tuesday. "It is equally woll known that pork and beof can it produced here for tone-third to ene- half of the cost that H ii grown in the west. We have a not very satis factory condition here every year. During a part of the yea meat ia shipped into Kinston and the con sumers pay high prices. During the winter the market is t time flat ted with the home-grown product Mid prices drop to a trifling level. The packing plant would stabilize th market, encourage the production of meat and bring a lot of money into the city from the outside. The sup porting country is splendid, and it is generally conceded that it ia going to be the Sou th's best livestock sec tion." ' The expense of establishing thr plant might reach a hundred thous and dollars, according to aome esti mates. That, however, la a small thing for a city of thU sise, especial ly in view , of the comparative spirit of the coromjinity and the tendency of the business interests to boost Kinstcn, it is pointed out.
