The North Ca rolina Society in Washington is do ing its best to care for the veterans. ranter Anaerson, nasnuiKwn corres pondent says that; the statement made by the Washington papers that the veterans are being properly car ed fof, is false.

BUYS FOUNDRY SITE Shelby Gocerly Company Gets More Advantageous Business Site. The Shelby Grocery Company, wholesale, has purchased the old Piedmont foundry site from the four or five. owners and will remodeI the same, beginning July' 1st. This pro perty is located on West Warren street on the tracks of the Southern railway and is better adapted for the business of this growing concern. Messrs. F. O. Gee and John Mc Knight were seen yesterday nd stat ed that two of the present buildings will be raised, underpined and floor ed, ready for occupancy August 1st. Another building will be used for a stable. The lot is 135x200 feet and is on a side-track which is a great advantage in the dispatch of freight. The Shelby Grocery Company is composed of active and influenced young men who are builing up a very gratifying business. They are too cramped in their present quarters and the new location will enable them to enlarge their stock and volume of business. The folks who trade at Evans E. McBrayer's, represent the best type of men and boys. Men who pay their Aahta nii have character. Are vou one fit them. If not, and. you can qualify, join his ranks. aav.
