Mr. Harris Cannot at Present Publish First Street Subway Plan. When asked today If he would give out, the exact agreement reached by the legal representatives of the city and the Southern Railway as to the subway proposed to be built across First street (extended) where the Southern crosses it, Mr. Hugh W. Harris, city attorney, today said that he could not do so, as the agreement was only tentative. If any of the parties at issue object to the ar rangement, which Mr. Harris, repre senting the city, and Col. Rodman the railroad, have agreed upon as something they can advise, it of course falls through. A copy is now at Washington awaiting ratification by the railroad company. - “The board of aldermen,” said Mr. Flarris, “authorized me to draw up an ordinance for opening'up the street, and to secure an agreement with the railroad and the Four C’s, provided the street could be opened up with no cost to the city. This I have done. While I have consulted with no prop- ty owners personally, we know they will agree to bear the cost of opening the street. It would, however, be pre mature to publish, the full text of the agreement before it is ratified by both the railroad and the board of aldermen.” As stated in The News yesterday the agreement is understood to call for a 50-foot subway. The plan now in 'contemplation,: it is understood; provides for the expense of opening up the street being met by the I nearby or adjacent property owners. PRESCRIPTIONS FALLING. Number for Week Ending April 1 Only 526. The number of prescriptions writ ten for whiskey are still on the de ¬ cline, uary 1,181, 4,526. For the four weeks in Jan- last they ran as follows: 1,091, 1,038, 1,216, a total of For the four weeks of Febru- ary they ran: 1,288, 1,408, 1,348 and 1,324, a total of 5,363. For the four weeks lows: tai of month of March they ran as fol- 1,087, 1,158, 631 and 568, a to- 3,344. The decline in this is due to the passage of the rigid anti-prescription bill by the leg islature, endangering a physician’s license if he wrote prescriptions for other than bonafide patients. That the list is still, declining is evident from the fact that for the week end ing on the first of April the number of prescriptions had fallen to 526. NEW OPTICAL STORE.

Mr. Smith is an orator of national reputation, every farmer should take advantageof this opportunity of hear ing this cloquerit and polished speaker. Mr. Smith outlined the warehouse 1 plan to the business men and farm ers of this county and city a few weeks ago, and flighted his hearers with his clear, explicit manner of explanation. Mr. Moore, with County Correspon dent J. N. Bigham ; took the matter in hand and carried out Mr. Smith’s suggestions to those who were not able to be present. Their reports from all over the bounty are most encouraging. A meeting will be held at the county courthouse next Satur day to ascertain what progress has been made by the solicitors in the work of securing subscriptions. The prospects for a healthy organization in Mecklenburg are judged to be bright. Mr. Moore says that letters he has received from Mr. Smith and others in the National Association who are working for the warehouse organiza tion are exceedingly encouraging. The plan is taking fast hold of the farm ers and business men, especially in the heart of the cotton-growing area. Two local organizations were perfect ed in South Carolina and two in Georgia by Mr. Smith last week, and the work started off in fine shape. Mint Hill News. Mint Hill, April 4.—A drop of the mercury from 91 degrees of last week to 29 Monday mornin has caused grave fears for the fruit crop in this vicinity, peaches and pears especially being in full bloom.

No woman can be healthy and well if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass off in the urine when the kidneys are well are retained in the body when the kidneys are sick. Kid neys and bladder get inflamed and swollen, crowding the delicate fe male organs nearby and sometimes dis placing them. This is the true cause of many bearing-down pains, lameness, backache, sideache, etc. Uric poison ing also causes headaches, dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and rheumatism. When suffering so, try Doan’s Kid ney Pills, the remedy that cures sick kidneys. You will get better as the kidneys get better, and health will return when the kidneys are well. Let a Charlotte woman tell you about Doan’s Kidney Pills. Mrs. W. J. Shafer, wife of M .J. Shaf er, coal and wood dealer, residing at 811' North Church - St., - Charlotte, N. C., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills for kidney trouble and backache and have been greatly benefited by them. I had been a great sufferer and had lost all hopes of ever being cured. My back ached all the time and was very weak, but after using your rem edy obtained at R. H. Jordan & Co’s, drug store, I have had no return of the backache. I am so well pleased with your pills that I have written some friends in Goldsboro and Raleigh, N. C., telling them what Doan’s Kidney Pills have done for me. You are wel come to use my name, and I only hope some sufferer afflicted as I was may be induced to try Doan’s Kidney Pills.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
