LOTED PEOPLE ,1 Working on the Mammoth Penitentiary Kilns CONVICTS DO THE WORK Jim Wilcox, Bishop and Ed. Ctley Among the Number Capacity of Kilns 40,000 Per Day Over 500, OOO Lost By Recent Rains and Freezes T. W. Dewey a Hospital Attendant Major Martin on State .. Farm. '..'.'-. The manufacture of brick is the prin cipal work to which tho convicts con fined within the walls of the state pen itentiary are subjected, the capacity of the kilns being- about forty thousand per day, although from one cause and nnother, the full capacity record is rare ly if ever made. These brick besides being of very ex cellent quality, are made, many of them, by exceptionally noted people, since among the convicts who work In this department much of the time are such prisoners as Jim Wilcox, serving twen ty years for the killing of Xelle Ctop sey at Elizabeth City; A. L. Bishop, the Richmond traveling man whom Oovernor Glenn a few weeks ago declin ed to pardon from a sentence of five years for shooting to death Thomas Wilson at his home in Charlotte, where RIshoD. in company with a woman of the neighborhood, was drinking with Wilson's daughter and would not obey an order from Wilson for him to leave the house; Ed L'tley, of Fayetteville, who is serving a fifteen year sentence for killing Clerk llollingsworth in the lobby of Hotel LaFayette, Fayetteville. These men do not work in the urick yard constantly, but spend much of their time there. The fact is all the con victs are assigned to different work from time to time, so that there may not be too much monotony in their prison life. Referring to noted prisoners, it is In teresting to know that Thomas W. Dewey, who is serving a six year sen tence for embezzlement while he was cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Bank of New Bern, is just now devoting his time to work in the prison hospital. The past several months there has been much sickness among the convicts, in cident to the rough weather conditions. Dewey's health has been very good. Major W. H. Martin, who is serving ten years for the embezzlement of 1. 000 from the state treasury while he was institutional clerk under Slate Treasurer W. H. Worth, has been for quite awhile, irt fact, for the past year or two, doing service . on thet state farm, much of the time as steward of the convict camp there. There are lesj than 6"0 convicts con signed to the penitentiary now. and not more than 100 are in the central prison, the others being at work on the state farm and on tie Raleigh & Pamlico Sound railroad and other works of th:it kind. There are about forty-five wo men, the great majority being coloreu. The latter are kept at the farm, the work of those on the farm, as well as those kept in the prison being princi pally the making and repairing of the clothes worn by the convicts. eGttlng back to the matter of the manufacture of brick in the prison stockade, it is of inte.est to note that during the past two or three months not ' lAIIING BRICK 311 and 313 Fayetteville Street Opposite Post Office. SPRING OPENING MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY APRIL 2, 3 and 4. We are making our first showing of Ladies', .Misses and ChildrensV Ready To Wear and Trimmed Hats, and have by far the greatest ' selection of Spring Styles ever shown in this "city.- The variety of styles and shapes Ave have gotten together has never been equalled here, and when you compare our prices it is wonder ful. There is absolutely nothing left undone to complete our effort and an inspection is re quested to show you that we are right. WM. WOOLLCOTT less than 800,000 brick have been lost by being damaged by -f leasing and by the heavy rains. These are of course not a total loss, since the spoiled brick are reground ' and remoulded, making thereby all the better brick when they are finally successfully burned. Superintendent Mann ha.j stacked away on the yard for use in the kilns and in the prison the bigge3t lot of wood ever gotten together in these parts. He has five thousand cords, mostly of eight foot pine and estimates lhat this will carry the prison through the summer months in the burning of i brick. There is a large stock of wood twice as high as the stockade and half the length of the enclosure in the end of the grounds where the brick kiln is located. 1 , The output of the penitentiary kilns is sold several months in advance, so great is the general demand for build ing material. It is for this rea-son that ; the authorities have offered to furnish the money and labor for putting- down j granolithic pavement in the capitol I souare walks tnis spring instead or having the work done with penitentiary brick as was provided in the special act of the last legislature. The estimates for the work are now being made by Prof. Itiddick of the A. & M. College, and the whole matter will Iw finfillv settled when tho board of di- I iwini-s mpotK in irmnthlv session here next Wednesday. The probable out come will be that provision will be made for putting the granolithic pavement down on at least the lour principal walks of the square, including the tak ing up of the pn sent brick pavement loading from the Fayetteville street and Halifax street entrances to the state house and the substitution of the gran olithic pavement. WATER BETTER THAN MEDICINE Physicians, in Many Instances, Now Prescribing Mecklenburg Water, and Recommending Treatment at Chase City. The genial Col. W. T.. Hughes, president of the Mecklenburg Min eral Water Company, of Chase City, has just issued a handsome booklet of which he has a right to feel very proud. It is a most remarkable lit tle publication, containing as it does many of the most flattering testimo nials ever printed in behalf of Min eral Waters. A large number of these testimonials are from physi cians of renown men of the medi cal profession of the highest stand ing. Xot a testimonial was given only by those who had been to the Springs or drank the water at home. In other words every person offering a testimonial was instigated by re sults obtained after having used the Mecklenburg Water. Colonel Hughes will send this booklet to anyone who may wish a copy of it. It is' handsomely illus trated, gives the analysis of the water, and contains much interesting information. There is much good being accom plished at the Mecklenburg Hotel and Sanitarium, Chase City, by both the use of the water and the un equalled baths. Nearly one hundred people -are at this all-the-year-round resort now. The Mecklenburg Water is probably the South's greatest pan acea in the cure of many diseases notably, indigestion, ..kidney and liver troubles, rheumatism, skin diseases, etc. The splendid testimonials printed elsewhere in The Times today should be read by everyone suffering from whatever disease. ro CURE A COLD IX OXE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.

' (By the Associated Tress.).-. Chicago, March 31 Strong resolu tions threatening- a strike of five hun dred city employes nnd attacking mu nicipal ownership of street railways were passed at a meeting last night of the associated building trades, compos ed of twenty-nine unions and represent ing 3:i.0iXI building craftsmen in Chi cago. In the resolutions it was charged that Mayor Dunne and the council finance committee have refused to make provis ion for the payment of standard wages to mechanics in the employ of the city despite the receipt, of numerous, re quests from labor unions. The resolutions also set forth that while the organization does not wish to go on recoid as being for or against the principle of municipal ownership, it cannot be in sympathy with it if af filiated unions do not receive just treat ment from the city. All trade unionists in Chicago are urged by the resolutions to give the matter full consideration and members of the street railway em ployers union are requested to make a thorough investigation of municipal ownership of street ' railways, before supporting the operation of such a plan in Chicago. BURGLARS ROBBED THREE POSTOFFICES (By the Associated Press.) Camden, X. J., March . 31 Two cracksmen early today dynamited the safe in the postoffice at Bridgeport. N. J., about twelve miles south of here nnd escaped with $275. The explosion aroused Frank Springer, whose home is opposite the Springer building in which the postoffice is located. Mr. Springer opened the window of his room nnd at tempted to give an alarm, and one of the burglars shot at him, the bullet im bedding itself In the window sash. The robbers made 1heir escape in a wagon stolen front the farm of Edward Sharp. Bridgewater, Conn., March 31. The general store of C. M. Hatch, In which the postoffice is located, was broken into and robbed early today, the rob bers getting several thousand dollars after blowing open the postoffice safe. The men stole a horse and wagon from Postmaster Hatch and got away. Richmond. Va., March 31. Early this morning the postoffice at the Uni versity of Virginia was entered by bur glars, the safe blown open with dyna mite and $300 in cash and a large quan tity of stamps stolen. There is no pos itive clue to the robbers as yet. CHAPEL HILL ORATORS. Love and Farker Will Uphold Claims Against the Georgians. (Special to The Evening Times.) Chapel Hill, N. C. March 31. The annual debate with the University of Georgia will be held in Gerrard Hall at Chupel Hill on the evening of April 13. In Messsrs . W, B. Love and J. J. Parker, who have been selected as Carolina's representatives, the Univer sity has one of the strongest debating teams that has ever represented the in stitution. Mr, Love is a member of the senior class and he is a strong, practical speaker. This will be his first appear ance in an intercollegiate debate, but he has had considerable experience in the halls of the Dialectic Society, of which he is an inlluential member. Mr. Parker Is a member of the jun ior class and he Is one of the most force ful orators in the University. He is a rapid thinker and a convincing and per suasive debater. Although he lias never participated in an Intercollegiate con test before, he gained considerable knowledge of debating last year as a member of the scrub debating team which contested with the members of the team that represented Carolina in the debate with Georgia held at Athens. Mr. Parker is also a member of the Dialectic Society. It will be remember ed that Carolina was victorious in the debate just mentioned and the mem bers of this years' team hope to achieve the same success. TO DEBATE IN RALEIGH. Wake Forest ami Mercer College Meet Here Easter Monday. (Special to The'Evening Times.) Wake Forest College, March 31. There is much interest here in the intercollegiate debate that will be held in Raleigh on the night of East er Monday. Our representatives, Messrs. T. B. Ashcraft of Monroe, Jesse Weatherspoon of Durham ,and Liston Jackson of Marion, S. C, al ternate, are preparing for the con test and so are the students also. There will be only a few, if any, of the students who will not go to Ra leigh at the time to support our i speakers. A special train will prob ably be run for the occasion. If not, reduced rates wiH be glvgn. The de bate will be held, in the Academy f Music. Wake Forest is not the only in stitution that is preparing for this contest; for she is not the only one Interested. The men who are to rep resent Mercer University .are also working on their sieeches, and from the following quotation from a letter from that institution it will be seen that tho debate promises to be a hot ly contested discussion. The letter from Mercer says' "There is now at Mercer healthful enthusiasm and genuine loyalty. The literary societies have experienced revivals and the Mercer spirit of or atory is regaining its place, no single cause has contributed as much perhaps in this direction as the Mercer-Wake Forest debate, which is to come off in April. Those who are acquainted with Mercer's history In Intercollegiate debates will recall that she has never yet been defeated. Wake Forest, it is said, has lost only one. We will he represented by Messrs. Griner anil Wells, of the se nior class, both of whom are strong men strong enough, we believe, to preserve our record unbroken." Chances Are That Raleigh Will Get Convention. (Continued from First Page.) each room 1,400 could be- taken care of, Mr. Cobb added. Mr. Cobb said he considered that Raleigh could house over -1,000 visitors at any one time. The Capitol Inn, across the street from the southern entrance to the capitol, has room lor 100 people. BVFFAIiO CALVES IX HARNESS. When the buffalo 'calves were about four months old 1 made. them do their (list bit of real woi!. I hitched them to a heavy stone-boat., and by means of reins nnd ordinary pony bits, I drove them for 5 miles on the road. This trip I made them reneat several times during the tluv.x that followed, and they exhibited such splendid strength and courage as I could not have believed possible for youngsters still in their first summer. To be sure, they were a trifie headstrong, and once they ran clear away with the drag: but then even domestic steers will do this if they get a chance. While the babies were getting used to the yoke, I had mad? two sets. of harness, single and double, and a 'cart with both pole and shafts. Instruc tions concerning the making of the cart were few; it was to have hut two wheels, and be strong enough to stand the Impact of an express train. The two calves took their last experience in single harness quite differently. War Whoop deliberately lay down and rolled on his harness, until I made him Jump to his feet again by screech ing like a wild cat close to his ear; tvhile Tomahawk celebrated his intro duction to harness by kicking and buck jumping for about twenty min utes. .-Rut tho result' was the same; both became ustd to the harness. When finally the cart was ready, I hitched them to it, first in the yoke and then in double harness. At the very start there was usually an incli nation to run away, but I made this impossible by hitching the heavy drag to the axle of the cart and applying the brake.; But after the first two or three drives neither drag nor brake was necessary and have not since been used, even on steep hills, where the litlie fellows quickly learned to hold back a Io:d. When between five and six months old. the buffalo team was exhibited at an agricultural fair in New Hampshire where it caused a sensation by tlis splendid sneed it exhibited on the track.; All ihe farmers present admit. ted that no team of steers of the same age could, begin to match It for either speed or strength.-' ' of course, nothing is absolutely proven by a single experiment of this kind, Hut this I am inclined to be lieve, that although more difficult to break, when once broken buffaloes will piove faster, stronger and better' of courange and endurance than domes tie oxen. If any one doubts this, 1 know two sturdy, hairy little buffalo bulls .that-'-would hugely enjoy an op portunity to try conclusions with their domestic, cousins. E. H. Baynes in Haipi-r's -Weekly.

Infrequent or too frequent action; Any urinary trouble tells of kid ney ills. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid ney ills. ; W. R. Hood, formerly of 311 south Bioodworth street, employed in Whipple & Company's grocery store says: "When I got my first box of Doan s Kidney Pills at the Bobbitt Wynrte Drug Company's store my kidneys had been giving me consid erable trouble for a long time. I had a constant dull aching pain in the small of my back and across the hips, and my urine was very Irregu lar. Some times I had to get out of bed half dozen times during the night. Then again it would be very scant. Then was when I had the most pain and worst pain in my back. The secretions were very dark and contained a heavy sediment. Since using the ipills I had not had the pains at all and the secretions have been cleared up to their normal state." , For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Object of "Play With Mission" Said to bo to Make Money. ; The much discussed "Clansman" is more convincing and therefore more effective on the stage than be tween covers, because it has the ad vantage of stage illusions, of fine pictorial effects, and a company of admirable actors. , This work of a former popular preacher whose sen sational sermons Attracted large aud iences when he occupied a New York pulpit is advertised as "a play with a mission." Everything about it, and especially the methods employed to exploit it. Indicate that the real mission is to make money. "The Clansman" dramatizes that crime which is so often avenged by lynch ing. Everything in it leads up to the really dramatic and theatrically powerful scene in which the Klu Klux Klan, making use of the device of hypnotism, brings out the horror of the crime, dwelling .upon it to the last point of acceptability.
