BUILDING sPRlNeHoPE LOOP !?
The Southern" Said to be Grading the
Road From Selma to Springhope.


For years far-seeiag public-spirited
men have urged that a road be built
from Raleigh to Springhope to connect
with the branch OF the Atlantic Coast
Line. When this branch was first
built 1t is said to have been the inten-
ton to continue it to Raleigh But
there was some understanding between
the Coast Line and the Southern. the
last rail was laid and the last spike
driven in neck Of wood in Nash coIn-
ty and there the thing ended
Since that time d prosperous little
toan, Springhope, has been built up N
this head of traffic.
There has never been a logical rea-
son for not bringing the road on to
Raleigh. That suggests itself 10 every
body who looks at the map Of this see
ton. Raleigh people have all along
had an idea that sometime" the road
would be completed to this point
But If reports are to be believed
Raleigh Is to be given the marble
heart. And the railroad has given
the glad hand" TO Clayton
It is said that Saturday afternoon
several loads Of material, and working
cars were carried through here to
Clayton. Everything is said to be
ready to start TO work; and report has
il hat work will be begun at once.
That is the report. 1T seems to be
well accredited, and is given for what
it is worth.

city has been designated as the United
States Depository for this section
This is a great compliment to this
staunch financial institution.
This bank was designated some
weeks ago. but the officers did not care
10 have it announced until they had
secured a certain amount Of United
States Bonds.
IN the bids for the new issue Of
bonds last week they were in the John
G. Stewart syndicate, and bid for fifty
thousand dollars of the new Govern
nent paper.
Finally, after the bids had been
opened. President Brown received a
notification that his bid was unsuc-
cessful. Late Saturday afternoon .
telegram came saying that the Citl-
zens' Bank could obtain the bonds.
This (S5O,000) was the largest bid
made by any bank ia the State.

FINEST HOPS GROWN.
Great Possibilities of the Hope Grow
ing Industry in North Carolina.

Mr. ~ L. Jones, the gentleman Who
IS doing more than any other man to
develop the hop growing industry in
this State, returned yesterday to War
renfon. Mr.. Jones came here to form
a Wake County Hop Growers Associa-
ton Saturday, but the bad weather
kept the farmers from coming III, and
even kept the townspeople in doors,
and only a few were at the Mayors Of
fee at the appointed time. But in a
short while there will be another meet
ing, and the association will be formed.
Mr.. Jones is very enthusiastic over
the outlook for North Carolina IS a
hop-growing State. He is from New
York State and last year made ~ eN-
pertinent in hopgrowing in this state,
and succeeded beyond all his eNpecta-
tions.
He had several samples Of the best
hops grown in New York and hops
grown last year i'm this State.
He says there are not 80 fine hops as
those grown i'm North Carolina produc-
ed anywhere else in the world. Its
by far~the finest hop / ever saw" he
said: "and it was produced at about
one-third what II costs Us 70 raise q
poorer quality in New York State.
North Caroiinians have tine soil IDEAL
climate, cheap laIor everything in
their favor"
Mr.. Jones recommends the fofma-
ton of hop-growers associations, q
number of farmers clubbing together,
getting an expert hop-man 10 take
charge the first year, build hop
curing house, and each member of the
association plant q small field in hops:
the acreage 10 be increased year by
year, until each owns lis own hop
farm.
The development Of this industry
will prove q source Of great wealth 70
this State, and viii be one Of the means
OF reeuperating the impoverished cot
ton-planter.
Sir. Jones has promised the News
and Observer some articles explaining
more fully the possibilities Of this
great industry.
