The preeent plana for th.9 plant cll for buildings that will cover about 50 acres of groun I and will cost practicaiy $500,000. when finally put in operation. 800 men will be employed and pay roll of Canton will be increased something like f 18,000 a mounth. Thisddition to the industries of Canton arfd western North Carolina generally is considered one of the largest that has been promis ed for years ami will aid not only direct ly, but indirectly, the further develop of the section. Division Freight Agent Orr, of the Southern rai Iway. has finished compil ing the number of car loads of com modities that the Southern has taken out of the western part of the state, fiscal year of the Southern ends with the last diy of June, but Mr. Orr has monthly records by which fie can figure up the total of any number of months at any time. The figures furnished by Mr. Orr simpiy represent the number of cir Ion i3 and the aver ages on which the e timstes were made were obtained elsewhere. The number Of car loads shipped were pecured in only two lines, that of wood products and stock. Of lumber there we're nearly 13,000 cars ehipped in 1911, in actual figures 12,913. Each cars will average at least 13,000 feet. Lumbermen Hay that tney will sometimes run as high as 20.000 feet. But 13.000 as an average this would be in at round numbers 107,000,000 feet and at $25 per 1,01)0 feet would amount to over $4,297,000. In lumber alone it is estimated' th 167,000,000 feet were shipped out cf western North Carolina during the year 1911. and theBe figures represnt only the dimension lumber and not the build ing material, fun. dure, etc. At an average of $25 per 1,000, this amounts to over $4,000,000. As to stock" according to the data furnished by Mr. Orr, there were ship ped 169 car loads. Counting 30 cattle to the car leal, would make thd number 13,770; and these at $33 ' ach would be valued at (454,510. Of cuurre some of the cars wtre made up of hogs and sheep, but a car of shrVp or hogs would be as valuable an a car of cattle, if not more e . PILES! PILES ! PILES!

Pratt Becomes Iuvolved In Some Shady Transactions And Skips Out of Town. Harold T. Pratt, who has been en gaged in the insurance business in this city up to a few days ago has left New Bern for parts unknown, and a number of people in this city and also in nearby towns find that they have been swindled by this smooth d tongue insurance agent. It has been known sometime that Pratt's financial condition was very pre carious but those who knew him never thought that he would resort to the subterfuge of the forger and swindler to clear himself temporarily of this era harassment. Last Saturday night he boarded the train for Norfolk, and since that time he has not been heard- fron Saturday morning he called at one of the local banks and presented a note for $350 endorsed by a leading citizen, asked that hfe be given the cash for it. This was done. The same afternoon he mortgaged hia household furniture to another gentleman for $200. He also received cash for a number of personal cheeks. Later it was found that the note he had received the money on was a forgery, the checks he gave were re turned marked "no funds" and when the gentleman who held the mortgage for two hundred dollars on his furniture called to take possession he found that the sheriff had already attached it. In addition to this several local attorneys now have in their hands for collection a number of checks which Pratt has giv en out during the past few weeks and wljjph were returned to the owners by the bank marked "no funds." Whether or not he swindled the in surance companies which he represent ed is not known just at this time. How ever, he was under bond in ach of these companies, and if his accounts are found to be other than they Hhould, te bonding companies will be compelled to make the loss good. Giving check without having money in the bank to cover them is judged a misdemenor in this State and a heavy penalty can be imposed upon the per son giving them. In addition to this offense Pratt ia charged with forgery, false pretense and several other offen se, and if he is apprehended and brought to tritl, he will doubtless have to piy a large fine or spend a long term in prison.
