Mayor Russ, while doing all he can
now for the renovation of the city streets
is yet not too unalive to hypercritlcal
comments to have breathed forth yester-

swe have boiled the hydrant water,
We have steriliZed the milk;
We have strained the proving mIeroDe
Through the finest kind of silk;
We have bought and we have borrowed
Every patent health device.
And at last the doctors tell US
That we've got to boil the ice"
Mr.. Greek O. Andrews went to
Greensboro yesterday and sad he
would not return before Thurs

the Press, will begin publication with a
thousand words of press dispatches each

says, with inquiries as to the piano tax.
Mr.. Worth says the decision Of Judge
Simonton does not touch his position in
the matter Judge Slmonton says the
agent cannot be touched by the State
tax on the ground of interstate com
merce, but Mr.. Worth says he Is not
after the agent, but after the independ-
ent dealer who will have to pay the tax,
also the agent who trades piano for an
old one and then sells the old one. But
Mr.. Worth wrote yesterday to the At
torney General at Charlotte asking for
an extensive opinion.

at Mrs Bankss will join her husband
later. Mr.. Renalds has been under con-
tract since the 1st of August to take
charge of similar mill in Charlotte,
where, it is understood, he has more
advantageous offer. Mr.. Renalds says
that since the Raleigh mill has been
running, it has been grinding up about
so bushels of wheat per day and run
ming from a. m, until 8 p m. Most
of this wheat has come from Chicago
and the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
little having been contributed by the
farmers about Raleigh. There can be
only one conclusion about this, namely,
that Wake County farmers are neglect

Mr.. Renalds has made number OF
friends during his stay in Raleigh who
regret to see him leave. He will, it is
said, be succeeded in the management
of the mill by Mr.. Blalock.
