EVOLUTION OF RALEIGH
INTO A MODERN CITY
Some of the Numerous Improvements To Be Seen On
Every Hand; Great Activity Along
All Lines
(By FRED A. OLDS)
RALEIGH has had a good year
despite the world-war. It has
matched forward along every line
development, shows construction
during .the twelvemonth to the
amount of $780,000, and street 1m-
nrovements which have brought gen
erous talk about the Capital City
by visitors from near and far It is
the habit when summer ends and
autumn and its quickened business
life comes to take what may be call
ed a TIMES .Tour of RALEIGH arid
its suburbs and take stock of the
city's growth. What follows In this
Sorv is fee result of the personal
inspection which such a tour gives.
It tells what this city has done dur
ing the twelvemonth which ended
August 31.
How To See Raleigh
Naturally the Improved streets
are most impressive and next after
these come the two big new build
ings finished during the year, then
other new enterprises and the steady
erowth of the residential section
The well scattered buildings speak
■ nlainly ana tell that everybody Is
lending a hand in a war-year when
so many places have stood still.
The beauty of RALEIGH'S su-
burbs is a prime attraction and in
an automobile one may by the exer
cise of judgment take a look at trie
city and these in an afternoon.
There are sixty-six miles of streets
and of course the suburban drives
in adidtion. One should go to a
point on the north side, at the new
county hospital; eastward a little
beyond St. Augustine’s school; then
to the stone quarry, nearly at the
southeast boundary; then to the wa
ter works pumping station; the Ag
ricultural and Mechanical College;
the grounds of the Central Hospital
for the Insane and its epileptic col
onies, and to Lake Raleigh, the
city’s great water storage basin, the
latter place making a fine finish of
in the steel cells for 150 prisoners.
To this fourth floor there are special
stairs and an elevator and in addi
tion a special stairway to the fire
escape. The whole building repre
sents the last word in construction.
Building Permits
The building permits for the year
ended make a good show, the total
number being 177, and the total
value of the buildings, the construc
tion of which was thus licensed
$206,221. The construction work
wept on in all parts of the city and
embraced all types of public and
private work. Included in the work
of the year, however, is much for
which permits were given earlier
and. the detailed story sets these
constructions out clearly.
What is known officially as the
“State Department Building,’’ for
merly the state library and supreme
court, on the north side of the capi-
tol square, was completed in Decem
ber. The alterations cost $35,000
and the furnishings $2,500, a total
of $37,50. The building provides
complete quarters for the corpora
tion commission, department of la
bor and printing, superintendent
of public instruction insurance de
partment, board of health and ad
jutant general.
wood avenue, at a cost of $14,000.
W A. Myatt is constructing on
South Blount street, between East
Martin and Bast Davie, a warehouse
of brick, largely from materia s
taken from the old courthouse, it
is to cost $6,000. „ t
The church of the Sacred Heart
is erecting a rectory at the corner
of West Edenton and North Mc
Dowell streets, to cost $4,000. It
will be of native granite and contain
eight rooms.
A Shell Foundry.
The Raleigh Iron Works has large
ly increased the capacity of its plant
on South West street, at the inter
section of West Hargett, at a cost
of $3,000, this annex being equipped
for the manufacture of target pro
jectiles for the United States navy.
At this plant 135 men are now em
ployed and the work goes on day
and night, the order for projectiles
already amounting to $115,000. A
dormitory for girls at the Methodist
Orphanage was completed and occu
pied, costing $12,000.
The Davis drug store was erected
on Hillsboro street near Harrison
avenue, a two-story brick building
costing $3,000. Improvements cost
ing $1,000 were made at the store
of S. Berwanger, on Fayetteville
The Pilot Cotton Mills.
The Pilot cotton mills purchased
from 0. P. Hay during the year seven
residences on Harp street and these
are occupied by its employees. Ihe
mills have completed a boarding-
house containing ten rooms, on
North Blount street. They now
have 230 employees and operate 425
looms and 10,750 spindles. Jhe
year has been a good one, with no
idle time, and 100,000 pieces of
goods have been turned out, the out
put being worth $300,000.
a drive.
The Handsomest County Hospital
The imposing appearance of the
new county hospital with its front
of 324 feet and its lofty portico,
with four massive columns, makes it
a most impressive structure. The
rich red brick, the white trim-
ings and the observatory tower and
the spacious balcony add to the at
tractions of the- building, which
faces north Blount street extended
and is about half a mile from the
city limits. Naturally RALEIGH
and the county are proud of the fact
that this is the finest county home
in the state. .
On the w^y to the pumping sta
tion is a notable view of the city
farm, with its widespread corn fields,'
these having' as a background the
two phosphate plants built last year
and the abattoir and a little further
out the hog cholera serum plant.
The Water Plant Complete
At the pumping station the im
provement and careful studies have
reduced the coal consumption about
two-thirds, effecting a great saving
of cost. The new pump works ad
mirably and the two reserve pumps
are in line shape. The water in the
reservoir is foufteW feet deep and
clear that a dime can easily
Yarborough Hotel Extension
An extension of the Yarborough
House was completed, extending to
south Wilmington street, with two
stores, 60 rooms above, the cost be
ing $52,000.
The Woman’s Club
Work began on the Woman’s Club
building, which will have a front of
80 feet on Hillsboro street and will
cost $22,000; this is to be complet
ed next spring.
It is in progress on the remodel
ing of the Tucker estate property
on Fayetteville street, long occupied
by Dobbin & Ferrall, the iron front
to be replaced by a modern one; to
contain four stores, two fronting on
Fayetteville street and two on south
Wilmington street; total cost $10,-
000.
At the North Carolina Soldiers
Home a steam heating plant, with
central boiler house, is nearly com
pleted, connecting with all the
buildings, the cost of this improve
ment being $4,500.
The Imposing Federal Building
The addition to the federal build-
Melrose Knitting Mills.
These mills have had a good
year and have operated on full time
with plenty of orders. Electric
drives have been installed to sup
plement the steam power in order
to increase the output, which goes to
all points in the United States and
to some foreign countries. The num
ber of employees is now 75. En
largement of the plant is planned
in the next six months.
stories of,, the building, which has
been ur-used for many years.
On East Hargett street two large
buildings were erected, each costing
$25,000, and adjoining premises.
They are those of the RADiulGH
Furniture Company, four stories
high, 40 by 110 feet, and the Light
ner Bros., three stories, 52 by 30
feet.
Attractive Store Fronts.
The twelvemonth has been marked
by great improvement of fronts of
the stores, and visitors express ap
preciation of what RALEIGH is
doing in this line find frankly say it
At Peace Institute an attractive
iron fence has been placed, with
three gateways ofibrick and stone,

The Fine ^Market.
RALEIGH’S n^v market was
opened during the year, with proper
ceremonies, and at once took its
place as by far the finest in the
State and one of the best in the
country in point of construtcion and
equipment. The building cost $32,
000, the lot on which it stands $2b,-
000, and the streets and sidewalks
around it $5,000 more, making the
total $62,144. .
Christ Church Parish House.
One of the most beautiful of all
the church buildings in the State
is the parish house of Christ church,
containing the chapel and Sunday
school auditorium and rooms. It is
of local granite and the cost com
plete was $40,000/

the president of the Carolina Power
& Light Company, the biggest corpo
ration, in which so many widely
known Northern capitalists are inter
ested, says about this city. Said he:
“I can say, without making invidious
comparisons, that RALEIGH has
made more progress in the past
three years than any other place in
North Carolina.”
Be of Good Cheer
From what has been here setforth
it can clearly be seen that RALEIGH
is no mean city .but that it is making
itself worthy of its own country and
State and, as the Convention City,
the Capital of this Commonwealth
and the County Seat of Wake, it is
setting a fine pace and faces the fu
ture with confidence and pride.

The Fire Department
For this department a fire house
was built, No. 3, on South Salisbury
street, at a cost of $8,0,00 and a
gasoline pumping engine was provide
ed at a cost of $4,000, making it
first-class.
ing, doubling its capacity, was com
pleted early in the year, at a cost of
$225,000, including refurnishing
throughout. The addition doubled
the capacity of the building, making
it the largest in the state for the
national government’s use. It con
tains ample quarters for the postof
fice, courts and revenue department.
The Most Important Construction
The two ranking constructions of
the year were the court house and
the postoffice extension, third com
ing the new county hospital, to take
the place of the county home, the
cost of this being $75,000. It will
be opened perhaps during the pres
ent month. Barns and stables are
under construction in the rear of it
and an electric pump takes the wa
ter supply from a deep artesian well.
This is the most comnleteooin^
Norfolk Southern Railway.
This road made important im-*
provements and extensions at its
shops on the north side of RALEIGH,
near Bloomsbury, for repairs and re
building of both engines and cars.
A new-car shop was built for im
provements, including the placing of
steel frames under cars to take the
place of wooden sills. A new iron-
working shop was also added and
machines of all types necessary tor
iron and woodworking. The power
is furnished by the Carolina Power
and Light Company. Besides the
machine shops and the car shops,
which were built during the twelve-
month, additions were made to the
carpenter shop. These all represent
an outlay of $25,000, thte force ot
men having been increased by about
30. The other shops of the com
pany are at New Bern and both, will
be maintained.
The Street Railway.
Improvements in the way of pav
ing and replacing of crossties have
been made by the railway company,
which has put into service a num
ber of all-steel cars.
Another Important Enterprise.
A new feature of RALEIGH S
business life is. the Hudson-Belk
Company, which has occupied the
spacious and handsome store, three
floors in the Commercial National
Bank building, and which handles
dry goods, both wholesale and re
tail, in a considerable territory, this
Paying for Real Streets.
The expenditures for street pav
ing of the best forms for the
twelvemonth total $218,679 and
these figures themselves speak
louder than mere words, as they tell
the story of real progress. The resi
dents on streets other than those
now being paved are rapidly follow
ing the lead and calling on the city
to do paving, taking advantage of the
arrarfgement which gives five years
to property-owners to meet their
half of the cost. The city will in
future let the contracts for side
walks and .supervise their construc
tion, so as tO safeguard property-
owners.
The following table shows the his
tory of the paving during the past
twenty years and that 71 per cent,
of all the modern type of pavement
be laid in 1914-15:
ern Railway.
New Telephone Exchange.
The RALEIGH Telephone Com
pany built on South Salisbury a
building for its exchange, this being
of brick, two stories in height to
be equipped in the most modern
Caraleigh Cotton Mills.
These mills have had one of
best years since their establishment,
with plenty of orders and lull time
tor the 275 operatives. The mill
village has been greatly beautified
and improved, some new homes
erected and electric lights and water
supplied to all.
The Southern Suburb.
What is known as South Park has
grown during the twelve-month and
nearly a score of new homes have
been erected, extending well beyond
the city boundary.
The Cemeteries
A new gate at the eastern entrance
of Oakwood cemetery is almost com
plete. It is a triple one, of granite
and of attractive design.
The new Hebrew cemetery Is
northeast of Oakwood cemetery and
is reached by a road which leads
northwards from St. Augustines
School. , ..
Fire hydrants have been set to the
city limits in all directions and give
much larger protection to the sub
urbs. „ . „ .
Work on North Person street
unites it with the Capital Highway
near the Mordecai ^lace, this highway
having been recently rebuilt by the
county convicts to a point five miles
from the city. A large fill of earth
is under construction on North boun
dary street, at the intersection of
East street.

HOW TO MAKE STRAIGHT
HAIR CURLY
To make straight hair nice and.
curly in one night by merely apply-:
ing plain liquid silmerine—that s
one of the best beauty secrets that
has leaked out in a long time. Some
peculiar property of this harmless
fluid causes the hair to dry in just
the prettiest, most natural-looking,
curls and creases imaginable. It is
valuable as a dressing also, as it puts
new life and lustre into dead-look
ing hair.
This means that the singeing, dry
ing curling iron can now be dis
pensed with forever! A few ounces
of the liquid silmerine, which may
be found in any drugstore, will keep
the hair in wave for weeks. It is.
neither sticky nor greasy and is real
ly quite an agreeable thing to use.
It can be applied with a clean tooth
brush before retiring—and the trans
formation will afford a most pleas
ant surprise in the morning.

Northeast and Northwest Sewer
Outfall.
Suit was brought against the city
for damages on account of emptying
the sewage into Pigeon House branch
and Cemetery branch. This caused
the construction of outfall sewers at
these places. These are 13,013 feet
long and the following materials
were used: 4,377 feet of 24-inch
terra cotta pipe, 8,540 feet of U
inch terra cotta pipe, 96 feet of ca^
iron pipe, a total length of nearly
2,464 miles.

Lake Raleigh’s Beauties
Lake Raleigh is" reached by the
road past the. Catholic Orphanage
and the charming Seawell avenue
through the pines. Lake Raleigh
hold's 200,000,000 gallons of water-
enough to last RALEIGH three
months if everything else went dry.
The base of the dam has been re
vetted with stone to prevent under-
wining by the waves and the shores
vividly green with grass.
The Superb New Court House
The new Wake county court
house, by far the finest and best
'nued in all North Carolina, and
ranking among the best ; n the south,
was completed August 25, the total
cost being $250,000. Work on its
began January 7th, 1914. There is
a basement and four stories. The
base is of North Carolina granite,
the superstructure terra cotta and
reinforced concrete. The frame
work is of steel. In the basement
is a teachers’ assembly hall seating
300, a rest-room for women, toilets,
library storage quarters and the
heating plant. On the first floor are
county offices and the department of
education, on the second floor the
superior court room, rooms for the
judges and solicitor, witness rooms,
quarters for the county commission
ers and the county road engineer.
On the mezzanine floors are the jurv
room, jury detention room and wit
ness rooms and on the upper floor
are the jail and quarters" for the

During the year the new .shops
the A. & M. College, costing $50,-
000, were completed and occupied,
and the partially burned textile
building was rebuilt and enlarged
at a cost of $12,500 and equipped
throughout with machinery. The
first unit of a new dormitory at this
college is. being furnished, this be

The colored Congregationalist
church spent $5,000 on its building,
at the corner of South and Manly
streets, including brick veneering.
A new photo-play theater, the “Su-
perba/' is under construction on Fay
etteville street, and $8,000 is being
expended upon it by Robert G. Allen,
the owner of the property, formerly
of Louisburg, but now a resident of

North Carolina’s Big^d Corporation
The Carolina PowVP& Light Com
pany has. its headquarters and gen
eral offices here. It is chartered by
this State and is the largest corpora
tion holding such a charter. RA
LEIGH -has* the honor of- being the
greatest electric power distribution
point in North Carolina and now
serves■-* twenty-five towns with light
and power, all the way from South
Carolina northward to Roxboro, in
Person county, and Oxford. During
the year it has extended its linos and
built costly transformer stations at
Laurinburg, Roxboro, and Lumber
ton, and is giving power to scores of
factories and other industrial plants
by the new extensions. The capi
talization of this great company runs
high in the millions. It has spent
great sums here and elsewhere in
its territory, taking- power from the
Yadkin, Cape Fear and the Neuse
rivers. On the latter stream, at Mil-
burnie, a stone and concrete dam
has been built during the year, re
placing the wooden one and giving
a greater head of water.
This company has expended on
street pavement in RALEIGH $100,-
000. It plans extensive developments
in its territory. RALEIGH thus
gets a tremendous advantage of am
ple water-generated electric, power,
with a costly steam-power reserve
plant here, and to 'this great asset it
adds superior railway advantages,
having three lines, unusually large
banking facilities, a commanding
central location and a fine back coun
try with a wide variety of crops.
How Raleigh Grows
It makes, an excellent finish, to this
story of the progress of RALEIGH to
tell what Col. Charles E. Johnson.

A New Back for An Old
One — How a Raleigh,.
Resident Made a Bad
Back Strong
The back aches at times with, a
dull indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys_.and..again the'loins are so
lame that to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply a plaster to the
back if the kidneys are weak. You
cannot reach the cause. Follow the
example of this- Raleigh citizen.
James Gerow, railroad conductor,
209 Glenwood Ave., Raleigh, says:
“One of my family was a great suf
ferer from kidney trouble after re
covering from a severe attack of ty
phoid fever. A few boxes of Doan’s
Kidney Pills removed the trouble.
On several occasions I have taken
Doan’s Kidney Pills, when my back
has felt 1 ime and my kidneys haven’t
been acting as they should and they
have always given me good results.
We. never hesitate to recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills to anyone com
plaining of kidney trouble.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Gerow had. Foster-Mil
