The SHOE FACTORY COMING.
The Barracks Bought by The State
Alliance.
BIG THING FOR HILLSBOR0.

4 BIG THING FOR HILLSB0R0
4 Work on The Buildings will Com.
mence at Once and the Factory
| will be in Operation by the
First Of the year
1 The Greensboro minister who
recently announced from his pull
pit that the only two places which
had not changed in the past hum
dred years were Hillsboro and
Damascus, will now have to apol-
ogize to Hillsboro or else acknowl-
edge that he is uninformed as re-
CARDS this part of the habitable
globe known as Orange county
court house and the 0cconeechee
hills. The truth is, Hillsboro is
undergoing all kinds and styles
of changes-changes which mean
something and which will soon
put the old town alongside its
younger, and hitherto, more pro-
gressive neighbors.
The first indication ofa genuine
solid and substantial boom, was
the location ofthe big cotton fac
tory, on which work was begun
several months ego, near the de-
pot, and for which Mr.. Jas.
Webb--a leading spirit in all that
tends to develop and build up
Hillsboro-deserves much credit.
Following hard upon the heels ola
cotton factory, comes the Alliance
shoe factory, which was to have
been located at Cary, but which
the good judgment of the CON-
mittee appointed to select a site,
wisely suggested should be at
Hillsboro.
And the shoe factory is no long
er a hope and a possibility, but a
reality. Messrs. W. S. Barnes, of
Raleigh, A. +. Hileman, of Con.
cord, n. 9. English, of Trinity,
James NJ. Mewbourne, of Kinston,
and T. Ivey, of Cary, spent sever
al days in Hillsboro last week |
looking at different properties |
suited to their purpose. The re-
suit Of their visit was the purchase |
of the old Barracks-which will |
be put in repair and used tempo
rarily as a shoe factory-and 1870
acres adjoining, for $4,000. OIL
the l30 acres in question. 40 acres
belonged 10 the Barracks tract
proper, 20 acres to Mr.. James
Webb and 10 acres TO Mr.. d. c. |
Parks. Mr.. Webb and Mr.. Parks
were especially liberal, and but
for their selling at a much lower
figure than they could get fol the
property, the deal would not have
been made-the Allianc, not be |
ing willing to purchase less than
the combined tracts mentioned. |
The fact that Mr.. Parks was Of |
+fered several hundred dollars more |
than he got, only the day before !
the sale was made, and exerted |
himself particularly to induce the
Alliance and other parties inter
ested to make the trade, should
silence the croakers who claim
that property owners do not want
industries 10 locate here, and who
claim that the moneyed men are
not willing TO. do their part In
this particular instance the citi.
zens are under obligations 10 the
men who secured the factory, al a
personal sacrifcc--for the present
at least--of valuable property.

HOW TO DRINK LIQUOR.

Young man, my advice is: Do
not, under any circumstances,
form the habit Of drinking whis-
ky. Let whisky alone--but il
you do drink, drink it on the sly.
In these times a community
watches. and if a man is seen to
bravelv 60 in at the front door

bers go from grog shop to grog

states and get drunk as lords, but
at home they bought their rot-gut

to be honest, square and above

drinking liquor. He must never

not sneak up the alley either, but
he must sneak a note through
a hired man to a saloon keeper
and get a gallon sent home. Then
drink it quietly. OF course ii
will do you no good; but if you
are bound TO drink-and most
young men seem bound that way
why, you will not be predicted
to graduate as an AL drunkard
with first honors. Those hypo-
critics who drink on the sly have

yet there is somethin to admire ing
their cleyerness IN escaping the
wrath Of the women who talk q.
bout the destruction of young
men, and ofthe psrson who prays
for the life Of the drunkard to be
spared until he can sober up.
Take my advice, and ifyou drink
whisky, arrange TO fill your tank
on the sly, and you will be much
happier.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Subject Discussed in the British
House of Commons.

House of Commons.
LONDON, Feb. lin the House of
Commons this afternoon Sir Edward
Harland Conservative asked whether
the Government was aware that Morgan's S
Nicaragua Canal bill had passed the
United States Senate and was now before
the House of Representatives, and
whether, in view of the importance of the
canal 10 British shipOWners, the Govern
ment would make urgent representations
to the Government of the United States
against the provisions of the bill, which
was detrimental to the interest OF British
shipping.
Sir Edward also asked whether the
Government would consider the pro-
priety OF urging upon the Government of
the United States the Importance of the
creation of a British and American COM
mission to deal with the question of the
construction of the canal and its status
when built.
Sir Edward Grey, Parliamentary Sec
retary for the Foreign Office, replied that
1t was not usual for the Government to
make any representations against bills
before foreign Legislatures. The Govern
ment had considered that such canal, as
it was proposed to construct through
Nicaragua should be under International
control, and whatever steps it may deem
desirable by the Government to advance
this view would be taken. He, however,
saw no reason to suppose that the United
States would not maintain their treaty
engagement.
Sir George Baden Powell, Conserva-
tive, questioned the Government regard
ing the proposed Pacific cable.
sydney Buxton, Parliamentary Secre-
tary for the Colonial Office, said that ne
gouations relative TO the construction Of
the cable were proceeding, but it would
not be to the public interest to enter into
"a detailed statement of its status.
