A NEW REGULATION
In Reference to City Charity
Prescriptions.
The board of aldermen has amend
ed the city ordinance in regard
to charity prescriptions by adding
the following:
'And in no case shall a pbysican
mark a prescription harity' unless
the patient for whom said prescrip
tion is written is absolutely destitute
of sufficient means to pay for the said
prescription, and is out of work and
without any visible means of paying
for it, and the mayor, chief of police
and city clerk shall have power to re
fuse to sign prescriptions of any phy
sician who scuds in prescriptions for
persons who do not come within the
meaning of this ordinance."
The board adopted a resolution, of
fered by 'alderman Frank Stronach,
providing that whereas Raleigh has
appropriated to the Rex hospital $2,-
000 per annnm, payable monthly, to
aid in its maintenance, and whereas
the charity prescriptions now filled by
the city for patients in the hospital
are about one-third of the whole char
ity prescriptions of the city; from
and after the 10th of this month the
city will not supply medicine for pa
tients in the hospital.
STREET IMPROVEMENT
The Street Commissioner Says
Work is Soon to Begin.
It now seems that Raleigh will event
ually have what the city has for a long
time sorely needed good streets. Mr.
Frank Stronach, chairman of the
street committee, was seen today and
said that about October .1 the work of
macadamization would begin on Fay
etteville street from the point where
the pavement stops to the Centennial
school. Later West Hargett street
will be 'paved with belgian block as
far as South Salisbury street. The
force is now at work opening North
street, beginning at the intersection
of North and North West streets and
extending to Saunders street. In time
every street in the city will be either
macadamized or paved and Raleigh
will have made one more step towards
whatjher enterprising citizens aspire to
make her, the most prosperous city in
the state. The work of improvement
has been thus far so blow as to be a
reproach to the authorities.

time they have been corresponding
with Mr. Andrews in regard to his
playing next season on the Trinity
team. . An offer was made him of tui
tion at the college, board and, last but
not least, $700 in cold cash. Mr.W. A.
Green, a trusty ball'player,came from
Durhtiu today to perfect arrange
ments.with Mr. Adndrews.

WANTS TO BE KING.
The Bishop of an Historic Colony Declares
v His Rights.
The people of Andorra are in a state
of great excitement. The bishop of
Urgel has issued a pastoral letter
claiming that he is sole ruler of An'
dorra, and that he will no longer ad
mit the suzerainty of France. An
dorra is a neutral country, with the
name of a republic, situated on the
south slope of the Pyrenees. Its area
is about 150 square miles. Andorra's
government consists of 24 consuls
elected by the population, which num
bers about 12,000. Up to the present
it has been subject to the suzerainty
of France and of the bishop of Urgel,
the independence of the little state
dating 'back to the time of Charle
magne, in 790. The inhabitants are
mostly shepherds, who speak the Cat
alan language.

COTTON CROP NEWS.
All Agree that There is a Fall
lug Off.
A reporter has talked with several
persous here in regard to the cotton
crop outlook. One large dealer says
the crop is not nearly so large as it
was thought 30 days ago it would be.
He says he never knew a great crop
raised with so much weed as there is
this year. He declares his belief that
prices will not be any lower than they
now are, as the opinion has been that
the crop was to be the biggest on re
cord, andttience it has been discount
ed, while it will not come up to expec
tations. Another buyer says that
there is very little old cotton now left
in this section. He says that in Wake
county, for instance, oil the stiff clay
lands, cotton is (not so much dam
aged. It is alleged that in Johnstou
county the damage is 15 per cent., the
general damage on light sandy lands
being 15 to 20 per cent., if reports be
true. Mr. .Daniel Stewart, a well
known grower iu Harnett county, says
the damage there is 15 per cent., ow
ing to the excessive rains the first half
of August. The commissioner of ag
riculture says the crop will be no big
ger than the Inst one, and adds that
the reports of damage by excessive
moisture range from 25 to 50 percent.
State Horticultural Society.
me I4in annual meeting ot uie
state horticultural society will be held
here October 25th in the office of the
N. C. agricultural experiment station.
apers will be read and addresses
made by prominent fruit and truck
men; election of officers for the ensu-
sing year and other important busi
ness will be transacted. The meetings
f the society are open to all. Owing
to the failure of the early fruit crop
this year the annual fruit fair of the
society had to be omitted. The state
agricultural society has therefore un
dertaken to offer specially generous
premiums in its horticultural depart
ment, including two premiums of $25
and $15 for the two best exhibits made
under the auspices of the district vice-
presidents of the horticultural society.
The district vice-presidents are Allen

Durham; R. B. Caldwell, Charlotte;
N. W. Craft, Shore; C. J. Cowles,

The Charlotte Observer says that
.Mr. D. W. Littleton and Miss Maud
Shepherd, the 15 year old daughter
of a bar-keeper, ran away from Salis
bury Thursday and were married in
Lexington. They left about 2:30
o'clock, saying they would be gone an
hour, but did not return until yester
day. It is reported that Littleton
hired a tramp to swear to the age of
the girl and thus secured the license
from the Davidson county register of
deeds.
