TO HELP THE MONUMENT FUND.

who attended the Polk Miller recital
last Monday night who have friends
and relatives in one or more of the
points TO be visited by Mr.. Miller
on his tour. for the benefit of the Vance

gress
II every one should write a personal
note to such friends commencing Mr..
Milier's entertainment and the cause
for which it is given, calling special
attention TO the date. &c. there are
many who would attend that under
ordinary circumstances would not be
impressed by local advertising and in

Let not only our readers in Raleigh
but in all the towns along the route
take this suggestion and act upon it.

Owosso Manufacturing Co.

The company is putting in an eight
inch feed pipe between their boiler
room and the river, their present pipe
not giving sufficient supply of water.
A new one hundred horse power boiler
has been secured and will be placed in
position in line with the other two boilers.
This will increase the steam producing
capacity of the plant by more than a half.
The foundations are being laid for hun.
ared foot chimney. The brick work will be
put up about fifteen feet and an iron stack
will be placed on top of this, the company
not wishing to rearrange the boilers at pres
ont and so using the two stacks. However,
when they do get ready to complete the
chimney the work now being done will be a
great advantage.
The smoke stack has been improved in
appe arance by coat of paint.
The subject of the erection of new
building is still occupying the company's at
tention. The size of the building which 1t
Is desired to put up would be about S0x110
feet and the principal difficulty at present is
to find room for it. II seems that the only
way for this is by narrowing that part of
Chapman street which runs by the factory
grounds.

The silver standard has been tried In In
dia and Bishop j. M. Thoburn, who has
been Methodist missionary to that coun-
try, knows something about II. He says:
"They have the silver standard In India,
have had 1t for centuries, and 1t has re-
ceived fair trial. 1t would ruin this coun-
try and bankrupt everybody. The foun-
dalton of business is stability, and with a
silver standard you can never have it. In
Calcutta can buy this suit of clothes for
$40 today, and perhaps for $40 tomorrow,
and the next day it will be $50. You can
never tell from the number of dollars you
own how much you are worth. The coun-
try Is at the mercy of the money-changers
and spectators. The idea of going to a
silver standard from a gold standard is to
ridiculous for serious consideration. have
seen enough of this In India"

Water Works Items.

Owing to two or three cases of serious
sickness near the water works the blowing
Of the whistle at six and eight o'clock,
morning and evening. has been discontin-
aed.
The water which is now being pumped
by the water works comes chiefly from the
large spring which was opened up while
digging for the reservoir last year. The dis
agreeable odor at first so noticeable about
the water is now practically gone, the water
improving as it is used. A traction engine
ruus the centrifugal pump to pump the
water from the spring into the old reservoir.
1t is expected that the new bottom which
is being put into the reservoir will be COM
pleted and tested today or tomorrow. The
new bottom is over a foot thick and is built
chiefly of Portland and Buffalo cement. 1t
certainly should hold water this time If it
ever will.
The works are now pumping about $50, 900
gallons per day. The new reservoir was
supposed to hold about 40, 900 gallons be-
fore the new bottom was put in which is
said to decrease its capacity about $4,000
gallons making the capacity over 100000
gallons less than the average daily amount
used. The question is now whether the
springs will supply water fast enough to
keep water in the reservoir when large
amount Is being used. For the benefit of
long suffering water consumers, however,
we will hope they will.
