Saciiera Power Co. Will Also
Enter Charlotte -f
Charlotte Will Have Two Street Rail
way Companies and Two Gas and
Electric Companies Taxes Are.
Paid Promptly.
(Special to The Times.)
Charlotte, N. C, Aug. 4. It is
now understood that the Board of
Aldermen, following a six weeks
wrestle with a petition for an elec
tric street railway franchise, making
two for Charlotte, will soon be con
fronted with still another for a gas
and electric light and power fran-
chise, from the Southern Power Com
pany. Should this be granted, as Is
likely under conditions, it will give
to the city two chartered street rail
way companies, and two rival gas
and electric lighting and power con
cerns, all backed by ample capital.
The old charters were held by the
4 C's Company, which recently had
its street railway and lighting and
power business re-incorporated, mak
ing two distinct concerns of the two.
A street railway franchise was grant
ed last week to Mr .Paul Chatham,
a leading business man, who pro
peses shortly to organize an electric
street railway concern, and now
comes the Southern Power Company
with its petition for a franchise for
the Charlotte Power Company, to
supply electric lighting, gas and elec
tric power for manufacturing pur
poses. This will give a maximum of com
petition, and make things Interest
ing here.
Receipts to date from Charlott's
special license tax ordinance, now in
operation for several years, are $27.
270 against approximately $15,000
received to date last year.
Twenty-seven thousand dollars is
a bit of money, and there will be
more to come yet, but the insertion
of a section placing a 5 per cent,
penalty on all delinquents, has done
the work this year, and those whose
business makes them liable to the
special taxes, . have come across a
month or more ahead of last year's
record, and only a few remain from
whom special taxes are yet due,
The money came in so fast last
week and Monday, the last day, that
City Tax Collector Wilson was busy
all day reaching out for the long
green, and banding out receipts.
The people who are subject to any
of the numerous sections of the ordi
nance, this year were given Just one
month, July, in which to pay the tax
to the city, and they have come up to
the mark handsomely, and every
body about the city hall is chuckling
with pleasure to-day over the happy
results of the working of the special
license tax ordinance this year.
The total realized from this ordt
nance is about $35,000, and of this
sum the city now has $27,270 In
band. ,
As much of this tax falls on trav-
eling shows, circuses, etc., that are
In and out during the entire year,
there will be at least $8,000 more
coming in from these sources, to
gether with the taxes from the few
who have failed to pay up on time
so far. .
According to the indexed list of
subjects for taxation under the
special revenue ordinance, about 225
amerent pusinesses, callings, pro
fessions, etc.,' are subject to a special
tax.. The tax is extremely inclusive,
as these figures indicate, and there
are few businesses in Charlotte that
escape the workings of the ordinance
as it now stands.
- FOBA NEW DEPOT. ,
Citizens of Nashville Offer Right-of-way
and Want Railroad to Build
- In Business Section Other News.
(Special to The Times.) .
Nashville, N. C-i Aug. 4 Mrs)
Sain. S. Griffin was buried' at the old
Griffin -burial gcounds near here to
day, the funeral services " being in
charge of -the Rev. J. E. Hocutt.
Mrs. Griffin died yesterday after sev
eral - weeks of illness. She is sur
vived by her husband and three small
children, the youngest being jonly a
little more than a. week old.' Mrs.
Griffin was the secbnd wife of Mr.
Griffin, and just nine years ago to
the day, the hour and the minute
his first wife died. The deceased
was a member of the Baptist church,
and had many friends here.
There is being agitated in Nash
ville the matter of asking the A. C.
L. Railroad to build a depot more in
the heart of Nashville. It is said that
the citizens of the town will give
a right-of-way into the center of the
town and offer other Inducements.

RADIANT HAIR
Every Woman Can Have it These
Modern Days.
Nothing keeps a- woman youthful
more than close attention to the hair,
Any woman whose hair is dull, faded
or lusterless cannot be either bean
tiful or attractive.:-
Dull hair casts around its owner
an environment of stupldness, while
the woman with brilliant, lustrous
t. nd luxuriant hair, though she may
be far inferior in intelect than her
dull haired sister,, carries off the hon
ors because of her resplendent hair.
In Paris, where plain women know
how to make and keep themselves
beautiful, the great - hair dressing
called Parisian Sage is much In de
mand. 7 -!' 1 V.' i ..'.
-And since the introduction of" Par
isian Sage into America, over 'three
year ago, society women in all the
large cities have learned that the
easiest, quickest and surest way to
turn lifeless, dull and unattractive
hair Into brilliant, lustrous and lux
uriant hair is to use Parisian Sage.
Parisian Sage is sold by leading
druggists in every; town in America
and by the King-Crowell Drag Co.,
who guarantee it to cure dandruff,
stop falling hair and Itching scalp in
two weeks or money back.
Fifty cents for a large bottle of
Parisian Sage. ' It is a most daintily
perfumed hair dressing and it is not
sticky or greasy. The girl with the
Auburn hair Is on every bottle. i
There is an ideal location for a de
pot just in the rear of the business
houses of the town, and pressure
will be brought to bear in convincing
those in authority that the change
in the depot will be desirable..,, Nash
ville is growing and the suggested
location of a depot near the Warren
Roller Mill is considered ideal. It is
now some distance from the business
houses of . Nashville to the present
depot. Business men have pointed
out that the railroad has at other
points run in spur tracks, and it is
reasoned that something like this
should be done at Nashville.
Bernard Brooks, Esq., is at Jack
son, Northampton county, where he
went for a client, a negro, who was
sentenced to the roads for twelve
months, on a charge of larceny, by
Justice of the . Peace J. A. Beal, of
Red ''Oak township. Mr. Brooks
points out that the justice exceeded
his authority in sentencing his
client to the roads on a larceny
charge, and he has gone to appear
before Judge Peebles in an effort to
get his man released under ' a
habeas corpus proceedings. The ac
tion of the justice of the peace has
created considerable talk here,- but
so far. only the negro's side of the
matter has been beard. :'
A number of attorneys were here
today in regard to a law suit of
George Griffin vs. Heirs of W. C.
Ferrell, of Wilson. This matter' calls
to mind a rather revolting murder
trial, which took place in Nash coun
ty about the year 1900. George
Griffin and wife were tried for
neglecting the four children of Grif
fin, and the children perished to
death. Both the man and woman
were convicted of manslaughter and
sentenced to" the penitentiary. . It
was in evidence in the. trial at' that
time that the children were dirt eat
ers and that they were put in an 'out
house. A chicken picked out one
of the eyes of one of the children,
The children- evidently had the
hook-worm, and a few doses of
thymol would no doubt have made
well children of them. But in 100
dirt ' eaters were not regarded as
hook-worm patients in North Caro
lina, and evidence against the couple
was strong. The suit today had to
do with some property : that Griffin
held before his confinement in' the
state prison, and only served to re
call to mind the neglect of the little
hook-worm patients of ; 1900. The
crime was one of the most revolting
ever committed in this county.

Gen. B. S. Royster and Graham &
Devin are attorneys fort the defend

following a few words the shot was
fired that sent the intruder into
eternity. -

The farmers all over the county
are very much distressed over the
long-continued drought. v There has
been no rain for several , weeks and
all crops are suffering. ' The 100 boys
in the corn contest are especially
distressed. Most of them had highly
manured the land, and planted the
corn thicker than usual. This makes
their crops especially endangered
from lack of moisture.
