THE RALEIGH ENTERPRISE. Thursday, January 19, 1905. Local Matters The Raleigh banks are closed to day on account of Lee's birthday. "Winsome Winnie" pleased the audience at the Academy Monday night.

McLelland asks us to say that he is from Cumberland in stead of Harnett County. He gets his mail on a rural route from Dunn, however, hence the error. Mr. M. X. Andrews has been ap pointed receiver for the Park Region Hail Insurance Company, which de sires to wind up its business in this State, it having never been profita ble here. "Mag-da," with Miss Edith Ken nedy in the leading role appeared at the Academy Friday night. While not a play to catch the general pub lic, the acting was of a kind that is rarely surpassed. . The Southern Express Company has established a regular express ser vice on the Cape Fear and Northern from Apex to Dunn, which will be quite a convenience to the people along that progressive railroad. Messrs. J. P. Hayes and Col. F, A. Olds gave the legislators a stereopti cah show and phonograph recital at the Capitol Tuesday night, which was thoroughly enjoyed. No charge was made, ...which goes to show that Messrs. J laves and Olds are liberal with the strangers within the gates. Mr. II. II. Brimley, curator of the State Museum and commissioner general in charge of the North Car olina exhibits at the St. Louis Ex position, returned Saturday from St. Louis, having gotten all the ma terial and other properties connect ed with the North Carolina exhibit packed up and ready for transpor tation by the railroads back to Ra leigh.

Mr. Sam Berwanger announces his semi-annual clearance sale in this issue of the Enterprise. Most of our readers are probably familiar with these sales and they know that it is a good time to make purchases. Mr. Berwanger always sells as he adver tises. A good quality of goods at a discount price and a dollar will purchase all that he says it will. If you take advantage of this sale you will not be disappointed. It will pay out of town people to visit Mr. Ber wanger's store at any time, but especially well while this sale is go ing on. A Business Puller. Don't fail to read the large adver tisement in this issue by Mr. J. P. Hayes, photographer and agent for Edison's phonographs and records. Mr. Hayes started in business here a few years ago in a very modest way. Good work, good goods, an en gaging personality and a liberal use of printers' ink has placed him in the front ranks. He does not hide his light under a bushel, but tells the public that he is here, what he can do, and what he sells. He is a business puller. He pulls, and if it doesn't come he goes after it. 1 1 is ad in this issue is one of the largest ever published by a photographer. A Lively Chase. Tuesday afternoon Constable Pope arrested John Ray, a negro engine greaser working at Johnston Street station, on the charge of breaking into the residence of Mr. Stark S. Batchelor some time last summer. Mr. Batchelor was with Constable Pope when he escorted the negro to the city prison. And just as they reached the door leading down to the prison Ray jerked away and ran as hard as ever he could up Fayette ville Street to Hargett where he was recaptured. When the constable caught hiiri again he carried him to the county jail, where he will await trial. Officers Wake Water Company.
