COMPLAINT OF A SEWER.
Senator Pugh Thinks There ShOul,l
BE an Automatic Flush.


BE an Automatic Flush.
Senator Pugh has written to the Com
missioners calling attention to a matter
which. in his opinion. should receive i'm
mediate Attentions. He states that on r
street northwest there is a sewer which
runs along on both sides of r street, going
eastward; that there is no way for this
sewer on the north side to be flushed and
there are about three houses on that side
of the street near the head of this sewer,
and as result there is not sufficient water
from these houses to flush and keep this
sewer in running order. Concluding. he
says: .,.
Recently I have had to clean out the
drain pipe from my residence into the
sewer on account OF the same having be-
come completely stopped up, and believe
II Is due to the condition of this sewer
Ap1 think 1t will greatly improve this
sewer H~there is placed in at it's head an
ways be Clearly and all the matter that
enters will be carried off. There is not
even an opening from the street into the
sewer until you reach 18th street and, Of
course, the accumulation from the houses
on the block between 18th and 14th streets
remains In the sewers as l do not think there
is sufhcient water from the houses at the
head to drain off the matter that empties
into 1t. The residents Of the block have
spoken to me about this matter and hence
l write to you in reference to it."
His letter has been referred to the engi-
neer department..

RALEIGH. ". c.. September 10. 1924.
The fusion of the North Carolina popu-
lists and republicans is as complete as the
action Of the state conventions of both
parties can make 1t.
The republicans who are now talking
profess to be delighted. Their chief speak
er, Jeter -. Pritchard, who Is TO be one of
the nominees for the United States Sem
ate (Marion Butler popuiist being the
cther). says that $4,000 white popul.sts
nave pledged themselves to vote with 12o.-
oo republicans, to tear the state away
from the democrats.
Ex-Chairman Eaves. VINO opposed fusion.
says that the democrats will carry the state
by 5000 majority. Eaves is succeeded as
Chairman by A. E Holten Of Yadkinville.
who has appointed Tyre Glenn secretary.
on the 18th instant republican headquar-
tiers will be formally established here.
on the state ticket there Is one man who
mas no opposition, but who will get all the
votes. which may be cast This is Waiter
clark associate justice. a democrat IL Is
the nrsf time In twenty-six years that such
a thing has occurred In this state.
chairman Butler predicts that the fusion
ticket will be elected by $1,000 majority.
Quite a number of congressional nominal
tons have been made during the past few
days. The republicans nominated Oscar ].
spears In the third district, Thomas c. NIL
liken In the fourth, Oliver H Dockery in
the sixth. and II. z. Linerey In the eighth.
line populists have nominated Cyrus
thompson In the third and c. Ii. Martin

mere september ~. when there will be held
state convention Of clubs. At this speech
Is are to be made by Chauncey f. Black
and Lawrence Gardner OF the National As

AS a matter OF interest the North Caro-
ma vote IN 1892 Is given. 1t was: Cleve-
land, l32,9Sl; Harrison. l0o342; Weaver.
The populists have not az yet shown any
sign OF opening headquarters here. Marion
Butler, populist. chairman. appears to be
doing his work from Goldsboro' his home
Senators Ransom and Jarvis have placed
themselves at the disposal of the demo-
cratic state committee.
For the first time all the parties have free
coinage planks In their platforms. The ra-
ito Is In each case .6 to 1.
Arrangements have been made for n
joint discussion In the fifth congressional
district between A. w. Graham. the deno-
cratic. and Thomas Settle, the republican

negro vote. but not q few negroes deny this
most earnestly.

White of Schenectady to Renaissance at
the Ebbitt House yesterday. THAT fellow
| is pretty agile" said Mr.. White "but there
was a lad up in Buffalo a couple of years
ago who was the most remarkable individ-
ual that ever walked ahead of a band. The
occasion was a procession of the Hibernians
and there was a band in line from Elmira
1t possessed and gloried In the drum major
1 speak of. The man was simply a marvel
He would send his baton sailing high in the
air and revolving like an electric fan, and
while IT was soaring above him he would
turn back handsprings. somersaults and
perform any number Of athletic tumbling
feats being always ready when the stan
came down to catch 1t and send Ii dexter
ously aloft again. For a month after that
parade all the boys in Buffalo were hurting
broomsticks up in the air and falling all
over themselves trying to emulate the WON
derful man frCm Elmra."
1--WE are commencing to feed our wheat
to our hogs" said Albert Price, Mime
sofa farmer. at the National last night 1T
was a question with Us at first whether the
porkers would thrive on a steady diet of
wheat, but 1t has been satisfactorily an
swered. 1t is the only way a farmer out in
my country can get rid of his wheat at
anything like a remunerative price for
raising it. The quotations in the Chicago
mark cts don't mean the price the man who
raises 1t receives. When 1 left home. two
weeks ago, wheat was 81 cents a bushel. 1t
costs on an average about 50 an acre to
raise wheat from planting to threshing and
at the price that now prevails you can
easily calculate that crop would have to
average something over twenty-four bush
els to the acre to even pay its cost. 1t Is an
excellent thing to know that hogs will
thrive and fatten on wheat, because the
grain devoted to this purpose will represent,
when the hogs are marketed, anywhere
from % cents to $i.25 a bushel Conse-
Quently those Of us out In Minnesota who
have hogs are not as unhappy as we were
over the low price Of wheat"
