THE NEWS IN MADISON.
+ From the M ,isoa Leu ier.]

Il
Mrs. Pierce, an estimable Chris
tian lady died at the home of her
daughter, near Madison, on Tuesday.
From what we can learn, more
marriages will take place in Madison
and vicinity during this month than
have occurred during the past two
years in the same territory.
There is an average of fifty loads
per day of hickory, dogwood and
persimmon timber bought by the
Spoke and Handle factory at Madi-
son. The business of this concern is
increasing to such rate that they
very often have to work at night to
fill orders. They have orders several
weeks ahead and are shipping car
loads all over the United States and
to foreign countries.
For more than a year a Compa-
ny, of which Messrs. Fries, of Salem,
are the principal movers. have been
negotiating for the purchase of what
is known as the Lewis water power
on Mayo river, one mile above Madi-
son. They have succeeded at last in
effecting their purpose, and the trans
fer was made last week, the price
agreed on being Sc, 500. The prop
erty consists of about 80 acres OF
land and the water power right. This
purchase means that a cotton facto-
~ will be erected there within the
next three years, and the immense
power, heretofore wasted, will be uti
lized in turning the spindles of this
mill and will furnish the motor power
for several other enterprises in the
course of time, among which we hope
to have located here the Roanoke &
Southern railroad shops. The waite.
power has been carefully examined
by expert engineers. There is a fall o.
22K feet per mile, and a force of 3, 600
horse power. In speaking of the mat
ter one of the purchasers said that a,
soon as the r. 4 S. railroad which
runs by the place, is completed, i'm
provements on the property will b'
commenced.

Mr.. E. S. Hawks, the principal
owner Of the option on Winston's

way will cost $15O,OOO and that he

According to the contract, he must
begin work within months, but Mr..
Hawks says he will begin work as
soon as he gets title to the electric
light plant and will complete the
road before June.
The contract compels him to build
4 miles, but lie says it will be neces-
sary TO build ). He is required
to run the road to the Salem Acad-
envy and to the Graded School,
but further than that he will not re-
veal his intended route. The car
shed and plant will be in the rear of
Mr. ID. S. Reds store.
Mr. Hawks says he will put on 5
cars at first and these will pass any
given point each way every Is min
uteS.
He says that Winston must have q
new hotel and that he will see to it
that it does have one and will run
his car-line by it.
The Sprague motor-system will be
used and Mr. Hawks expects NJ.

The Cigarette Trust. :

The cigarette trust has met ''foe-
men worthy of their steel'' on the
Winston market As soon as their
plan was announced, the leaf-dealers
OF this place set to work to fight it
and as result, cutters are selling as
high here now as they ever did.
Winston, perhaps. is the only mar
ket in the state where the price of
cutters will not be lowered by the
trust The reason why Winston will
hold up prices is that our leaf-dealers
have never sold much tobacco to the
firms composing the trust. They
have customers who will annually
use all the cutters that are brought
to this market, hence they compete
with the trust buyer and they will
force him to pay every cent that to-
bacco is worth or he can't buy in
Winston.
This prompt action on the part of
the leafdealers will result in helping
our market, for tobacco which has
heretofore been going to Greensboro
and other places will now come here,
where the highest prices are paid.

Brewers Boomlet.

Brewers Boomlet.
The Wilkesboro Chronicle says:
That big boom of Mr. Brewer, a Re
publican Congressman from North
Carolina-what became of it? We
understood that the aforesaid boom
was to bust up the Republican eau
Gus and make all necessary arrange
ments for the repeal of the revenue
system. But what became of it?
Did it reach Washington We see
no mention of its being there To be
sure if its hugeness had entered that
city, it's arrival would have been the
topic of the times. Was it destroyed
in some railroad wreck or did it go
down buried by the stormy waves of
the sea? Or did it die natural
death of meningitis, a spindling
dropsy or choleramorbus? 1t seems
to be a fit subject for a coroner's
jury. Perhaps it has fallen victim to
lynch law? If so, it's ''high moral
character and respectable standing at
home" cry out for vengeance against
its murderers. That one so beautiful
and so full of promise should pass
away so prematurely is a hard pro-
whence.

Mrs. Cora Scales Morris of Reidsville,
and she was released from custody
under a bond of S., O0Oto appear for
trial at the next term of Rockingham
county court. 1t is probable that
she will then be acquitted. Judge
billiard, of Greensboro, says that
within his long practice, he has never
seen charge for murder founded on
50 little evidence Bro. Webster, of
Reidsville, tells us that the prevailing
sentiment in Reidsville is that Mrs.
Morris is innocent.

No Flies on Winston Papers

The Madison Leader pays the fol-
lowing compliment to the Winston
Papers: The Winston papers are
sprightly journals. Each one with
laudable enterprise, tries to outstrip
the other in the matter of finding
out and printing the latest news
happenings. In this they are all gem
orally successful, and they are not
backward in complimenting them
selves on their sprightliness. There
are no flies on the Winston papers.

1t is neatly printed in pamphlet
form. From the preface we learn
that s'this dialogue has been arranged
and is presented in a somewhat diff
ferent manner than has usually been
the custom in the Home Sunday
School, and instead of representing
the scenes as they transpired at the
time, the children discuss the incid-
ents of the Birth of the Savior among
themselves with the present lights of
Bible History. 1t begins with the
earliest Promises, recites. the most
positive Prophecies, with descrip-
lions of the Holy Land. 1t intro
duces the visits of the Shepherds and
the Magi at the Manager, and in clos
idg dwells upon the glorious privi-
leges inherited by us on this happy
