Dayvauit, of Con enrj. Winston-Salem, March 24. —Charles Franklin Griffith, who resides on his farm near the Yadkin river, Davie eoun today quietly celebrated the one hun dredth anniversary of his birth. His da-o sons, ylohn F. Griffin, one of Win-1 Wton-Salem’s* leading citizens, and W. W.

He moved to his present home near Farmington when a young man and in 184!) was, united in marriage to Miss Sarah L. Taylor. Three children were born to this union, the daughter dying in infancy. Mrs. Grif fith passed away in 1906, after the cou ple .had lived together for 57 years. | During the war with Mexico, Mr. Grif fith volunteered and his company start ed to the field of battle, but the meu were turned back, their services not being needed. He was a member of the home guard during the first part of the civil war; later he mustered into service and was elected lieutenant of his company. His company was in Lexington at the time of the surrender. After returning home he resumed farm ing and Mr. Griffith takes pride in say ing that he never felt the need of a doc tot unt : l after lie was HO years old. He lias never missed voting since he became; of age. Last winter he suffered a severe attack of infiuenza. but soon recovered. About two months ago lie sustained a fall, injuring his hip. Since that time lie has not been able to walk without assistance. Otherwise his health is good—says he has 1 no pain, eats and sleeps well. “My only trouble is that I am just J worn .on t, just like a piece of machinery,” declared Mr. Griffith, who contends that his f long life is the result of obeying the rules of health and nature.

Pout and Flagg’s Cotton Letter. New York. March 25.—While the market lacks steam it may be fairly con sidered to be giving a very good account of itself in view of all the bearish talk, and sentiment and the complete absence of speculative suppqrt. The tone is gen erally steady but apart from the demand from the trade to fix prices the market has to depend on covering by shorts. A large amount of offerings has been ab sorbed, -it is true, in that way within a narrow range and it is believed that a great deal more would be taken on a scale down but the buying fades away on advances.and shorts who have cov ered put out their contracts again on any moderate recovery. Trade advices continue mixed with some lines doing very well but others al most completely neglected leaving the situation as a whole very si>otted and and irregular with increasing talk in some quarters of rather. drastic curtail-; ments unless things improve decidedly in .the near future. On the .whole it looks that of the two. curtailment will be more salutary than to permit any important accumulation of goods. So far that has ajiitomiUy beea avoid ed but while the normal production has proved possible to distribute at for the most part prices that show some pro fit. there is not enough demand to ab sorb extra production by two or three shifts such as are being worked in some eases, and that practice involves a grave degree of risk. In good time the situation will right itself and consumption take on fresh vigor but consumers who have jiwt paid their income taxes are more in clined to look for ways to economize than engage in free buying of goods of any sort.

Preparations are now being made ,to 1 put the Ktoreroqms on East Depot street : in shape in order -that the Concord Nat ■ ional Bank may move in during the time the new bank and hotel building is being constructed. ■ Work was commenced, the first of the ’ week. The partitions between the two shops which ceeppjed the ground floor are being torn but and the stairs which led up to the former annex of the hotel have been torn down. With the parti tions out, a room of suitable size has been secured. Officials of the bank are of the opinion that it will take over a month and pos sihly nearer two months before the build ing is in a condition for them to move ■; in. After all the partitions are' torn i cut. a new floor has to be laid and a 1 safe built, all of which will take much ; time. During this time the bank will occupy their old quarters at the corner of Depot and Union streets, despite the fact that work has already commenced on the leveling of the old hotel. The construction of the new bank and hotel will probably be delayed for sev eral weeks if it takes as long to finish the bank quarters as officials seem to think. Members of the hotel commit tee seemed to think that it would not take c.ver three or four weeks to finish tearing down the hotel. The new building which is to be erect-1 ed on the site of the old bank and hotel! will be one of the best in the city. The bank is tc occupy quarters which will j be two stories in heighth. Above this j height!), the hotel will use as aecommo-! dations for guests. KILLED WHEN DYNAMITE STICK EXPLODED IN HAND Body of R. F. Morton, of Stanly Counly, l Literally Tom to Pieces.
