THE BIG LAND SALE.
Over SIoo, 900 Worth ofLots Find Eager
Purchasers.

| Over SIoo, 900 Worth of>Lots Find Eager
Purchasers.
Lots of lots were selected by lo1
| here Tuesday
The West End Land Co. has been
unable to supply every applicant
with lot, consequently they have
| allowed all to select lots and register
| for them. In this way, dozens have
| selected the same lot, and it was the
purpose of the drawing Tuesday to
decide which anshould be the lucky
purchaser.
At 4 O'Clock Browns opera house
held a large body of eager men. Sec
rotary Wilson announced that every
thing was ready. Little Major Sam
| uel III. Smith, Jr., was brought on
the stage, and Messrs. R. w. Belo
J. B. Moseley and 6. r. Quincy were
!! asked to serve as judges.
AS each lot was reached, the names
of all the applicants were read out.
Then a penny for each of them was
dropped into black bag, one OF
which was oxydized. As each man s
name was called, Master Samuel
Smith would reach into the bag and
draw out Il penny. The one who
drew the oxydized coin got the lot.
Lot No. 16 was the first on the list,
and there were 1O3 applicants! The
''luck penny" gave it to Mr.. E. M.
Andrews, of Charlotte.
And then the drawing proceeded,
every desirable lot having number
of applicants.
Men saw that there were not half
enough lots to go around and got
anxious. Some of them applied for
dozen lots before luck gave them
one. - '%-t- -
1t was dark before the drawing
ended, and then it was found that
only forty lots were left of the It's
offered for sale. The total amount of
the sales aggregated $4,000.
And this was done, too, without
any- auction or brass band orhur-
rah
The remaining lots viii be. offered
at private sale until Nov. l., and
some of them win be very desirable, as
soon as the Land Co. finishes the
streets by them.
Having sold it's lots, the West End
Land Co. has not stopped work. 1t
now has large force of laborers i'm
proving the streets and the property
already sold This commendable
action on their part is in keeping
with the characters of the officers
and the honest, thorOugh-going bus
mess methods of Winston people.
Among the men living away from
Winston who bought lots are A. B.
Andrews, w. G. Stronach and VIM.
Boylan, of Raleigh; j. S. Carr, of
Durham; E. NJ Andrews and r. NJ.
Oates, of Charlotte; Lieut.. Gov. Z. NJ.
Holt, of Haw River and several par
ties from Kentucky, Virginia and
New York
To Messrs. w. A. Whitaker, Presi-
dent; Mr. p NJ Wilson, Sec'y and
Mr.. A. D. Mickle, Asst Sec'y. the
Land COMPANY is indebted for the
faithful work which made such IL sue
cess of the enterprise. And the peo-
pie of Winston owe thanks to them
for the thorough advertising they
have given our progressive city.

Gov. Jarvis Speech

GOV. JARVIS opccCn
Ex-Gov. L. j. Jarvis spoke to "a
crowded house in Crowns Opera
House Monday night on the issues of
the campaign.
He said that if taxation should
bear uneguafy at all it should bear
.lightest on the laboring man. But
under Republican laws it was reversed.
Vanderbilt could import 1000
worth of fine silk carpets and furni-
ture for his man ion and pay only
$500 tariff tax, while if a man inn
ported $1,000 worth of cheap carpet
ing and furniture for laboring men he
must pay $500, tax.
He presented unanswerable argu-
ments why working men should vote
the Democratic ticket and why North
Carolinians, especially, should do so.
Our columns are too crowded to ad-
nit of a lengthy report. Next week
we hope to present some of the Gov
errors excellent ideas through our
editorial columns.

The monthly meeting of the knights of

day evening, the occasion being a lecture on
1.-The Rights and Duties of Foreign-born
Citizens" by Michael Mullany, one of the
members of the society. Mr.. Mullany's
standard for American citizenship is high
one. He who seeks it, said he, should be
man of good moral character, law-abiding,
sober and Industrious and it should be con-
ferred on none who do not come up to these
requirements. BY the generosity of the
Government the subject of a foreign despot
is elevated so that he becomes the political
equal of the natiye-born citizen Of the freest
nation on the earth he is eligible to every
position of honor and trust under the Gov
eminent, W it'll the two exceptions Of Presi-

may be born in the country, has an equal

HARBOk COMMISSIONERS,
Getting Ready the Biennial Report-Th


The Harbnr Commissioners met yester-
day and passed upon various bills amount
ing to 1920 70. They also approved of the
pay roll, amounting to S4400. Nearly the
whole of the session was occupied in pre-
pairing data for the biennial report Of the
board to the Governor.
The receipts from tolls and other sources
for the past two years will considerably
overlap the expenditures of the commits
sion, leaving neat little sum to turn into
the State Treasury. The receipts have been
over 100000 per year.
The board spent some time discussing the
proposed belt line railroad. The idea was
preached Of sinking the road beneath the
level of the street, but the cost of divertng
all the sewers that cross the line was soon
seen to place the project out Of the question.
flnally Engineer Manson was directed TO
prepare estimates of the cost OF a surface
road.
