ordance with a fonmsr order of the
Council. James W. Taylor was elect

ance extending the -Hire line between
King and Cordon streets to take in

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

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

Council desires to wait until the bonds
are ready for delivery, which may be
several months yet, before making a
deal, he was informed.

hut its plank paving at crossings is
not satislactory. A request for im

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

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

trying to swim the river.
Tucker'a death makes live result

flight down the Florida east coast the
bandits fought several pistol fights
with pursuers, ' and three possemen

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.
