Kent quiet Ever After.

It has been stated that bank burglar
can so heat the walls of a safe with an
electric current as to be able to get in
eide without waiting more than few
minutes Certain laboratory expert
ments lend some sanction to such no
tion, but electrical journals pooh-pooh
il. 1t is much easier to talk about steal
ing electricity from live trolley and
lighting wires than it is to do it = that
is, with safety. The Electrical Engi-
neer, after pointing out some otherditfi-
culties in the way of such operations,
remarks that "men can take arshave
taken the current from supply mains,
even more than is required for melting
through safes, though in numerous in
stances the parties maintained perfect
silence about it ever afterward-" !"

Prices Going Up.

Prices Of sugar, lumber, tea and 9th
er articles have already risen since du-
ties have been increased or new ones
imposed. The foreigner appears to be
somewhat backward in coming forward
to pay these tariff duties, but perhaps
he was taken by surprise by the SEN
ate's action and will yet pay all duties
assessed against him by Republicans.

The moldy Outlook is still declaring
that when majority of the women of
the country want to vote it will be in
favor of giving them the ballot But
the moldy Outlook is all the time doing
its little best to keep women from want
ing to vote. For paper conducted by a
minister of the gospel such course is
extremely disingenuous.
The noblest of human beings is the
strong, sweet, calm woman who con-
trols her emotions and keeps her head
on always. -

There can be no substitute for Paine's-

This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons, too easily
led, have carried home something else
besides Paine's celery compound, and
have failed to get the decided benefit they
had hoped for.

THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.
Sweet Sound and Sweet Song by Sweet
Singers and Players.

Metropolitan Opera House rang last
evening with the melody of sweet instru-
ments ard sweeter song. The occasion
was a concert given in aid of Central
Methodist church and the hall was com
fortably filled with a cultured and appre-
ciative audience.
Among the singers were Miss Goodson,
of Durham, Miss Mamie Robbins. Miss
NOVEL; and Miss Gertie THEM, and
Messrs. Cooper and Young. 1t was the
first appearance of Miss Goodson before
a Raleigh audience, and with her sweet
well modulated, well trained voice she
sang herself at once into the hearts OF
her auditors, and received most vocifer-
Gus applause.
Miss Robbins, who is general favor
lite, was accompanied by DR.. Hubert
Register on the flute, and by Miss Minor
on the piano. The selection was happy
one, and was rendered with charming
effect.
A duet by Miss NOVEL; and Miss THEM
was generously applauded, as was also
very pleasing selection rendered by
Miss Goodson and Miss Then.
Little Miss Ethel Young, with her So
lection. added much to the evenings en-
joyment.
A mandolin and guitar trio. by Messrs
Crawford, Belts and Dowell proved one
of the hits of the programme, and they
were forced to respond to an encore.

THEY WILL BE WELCOMED.
SIXTY NENJERSEY EDITORS WILL
REACH RALEIGH APRIL THIRD.
The Work of Securing immigration and
Additional Capital In This Sec
ton Will be Accelerated.

As some sixty New Jersey editors will
be in Raleigh from p. M, April 2, until
11:35 p. M, the next day, it becomes of
interest to know why they come.
The party was organized by T. J. An
derson, General Passenger Agent of the
Seaboard Airline, and Frank A. Hay
wood, editor of Southern Progress of
Philadelphia, for the purpose of present
ing the advantages of the Sealboard Air
Line section to prosperous people whom
they hope to induce to locate or invest
here, as well as to instruct our own people
how to present our claims to the CAPT
talists ON whom we must depend to secure
the prosperity which rightfully belongs
to us. We are not surprised at the move
ment as the Seaboard Airline and
Southern Progress have always been at
the head of Southern development.
Messrs. Anderson and Haywood are very
anxious that the good work which they
have commenced should be carried on by
our own people and advise that one or
several of our enterprising real estate
men should visit the cities of New Jersey,
represented by the editors, and present
our claims to supremacy to the capitalists
of that section with the endorsement of
our coming visitors. 1t certainly seems
to be a commendable plan. A real estate
man from Raleigh who had made the ac-
quaintance and had won the endorsement
of the sixty journalists who are to visit
us would unquestionably be in a better
position to present Raleigh's advantages
than a stranger among strangers.

Unusual Precautions Regarding
Claims Against the County.

Two weeks since DR.. Kearby Intended
q sick man who was county charge.
The unfortunate man was boarded
short time Mt Al. Blooms restaurant.
DIR. Kearby told Mr.. Bloom to bring his
bill to him and he would indorse same
and forward to the county commission
ers. A day or two afterward Mr.. Bloom
called at the Dr's. office and handed the
DIR. paper. DIR. Kearby having been
busy with examinations for membership
in the Woodmen told Mr.. Bloom to have
q seat and he would fix him right away.
The DIR. began the usual series Of life in
surance questions. He wanted to know
at what age Mr.. Blooms grandmother
died? II the family were subject to con-
sumptionp Did you ever have appendi-
citis? Did you ever have delirium tre-
mems? etc, etc. The proper dction OF
Mr.. Blooms kidneys, liver and heart
were ascertained. About this time Mr..
Bloom became impatient and asked: "Do
n man haf to answer all dem questions to
get leetle bill Of s1.75 paid by the
county?" DR.. Kearby had to confess
that this was more red tape than ordina-
rilly required by the county commission
ers. However the result OF the comedy
of errors was good, as Mr.. Bloom con
cluded not to waste the medical examin-
alton but became member Of the Wood
men.

Work now in Progress on the
reamery Building.
Work

Yesterday morning the thermometer
was IL degrees below zero, but as soon
as the bright Colorado sunshine warmed
up the air little, Fred Cheek began lay
ing the stone foundation for the Rocky
Ford creamery. Mr.. Babcock secured
lots of the Town Go. in block q, two
blocks east Of the mill but on the north
side of the track. The Town Co., with
their usual liberality in matters Of public
enterprise, gave Mr.. Babcook very low
prices on the site. The building now un-
der 90 instruction will be Of brick, 40x44 IT,,
and built especially to accommodate q
creamery plant comprising the latest and
best machinery. The work will be push
ed rs fast as possible 30 that early in the
spring the production Of butter can
begin.
In order to make the plant fully up-to-
date in all its appointments Mr.. Babcock
is negotiating with Denver parties for
cold storage outfit. This will enable the
creamery to make its own ice and keep
the butter rooms in condition to make
butter to perfection.
At the Sunhower Valley creamery,
Hoehne, Mr.. Babcok is making a grade
of butter that commands the highest
market price at all times and is in great.
demand than can be supplied. We shall
expect the Rocky Ford creamery to havo
an equally good reputation and thus
make our town as famed abroad for it's
gilt-edge butter as it now is for water
melons and cantaloupes.
The skimming station now operating
so successfully here will be moved to
Fowler where a large amount Of cream
will be separated for shipment to Rocky
Ford.
The establishment of the creamery will
result in Mr.. Babcock becoming n resi-
dent of Rocky Ford, thus adding another
to tho scores Of good citizens who have
cast their lot with us during tho past
year.
The above announcement means much
more than many Of our readers compre-
hend. The large amount of money which
the creamery will each month distribute
among the farmers will furnish steady
supply OF the circulating medium which
will be felt and appreciated in all lines OF
business.
Verify, Rocky Ford does grow.

Rocky Ford's Way Of Doing Things

hOcky cOEub way OI OOlnS 1nlHSS
Rocky Ford is known far and wide for
the public spirit, pnsh and harmony Of
its citizens in any cause tending to I'D
vance the material prosperity OF the town
and it's tributary country. This spirit OF
united action was first shown in the in
auguration OF Watermelon Day, which
has given Rocky Ford IN almost national
reputation. The artesian well movement
was entered into by our citizens with
equal heartiness, and the success Of the
first well hns been OF untold benefit to
the valley. Tho Melon Growers Associ.
ntion is another evidence OF tho dispoGi.
ton Of our citizens to sink individuality
in work for the common good. In min
or matters the same broadgaugeness is
manifested. When society or a
church presents an enterprise which
seeks the aid OF the public to make it q
success we're all there to lend hand.
The latest illustration Of this trait OF
Rocky Ford people was last Friday even
ing on the occasion Of the Chicken Pie
social given by the Ladies' Aid of the
Presbyterian church. The opera house
was crowded as full as comfort permit
ted. Chicken pic was the center OF the
culinary system OF the evening, but
around ii circled all OF those side dishes
and luxuries that make feast Buch as
can only be found in prosperous coun-
try community. 1t was well that the
ladies planned smbitiously. II they had
not the latest guests at the tables would
have had slim fare, 30 generous was the
The evening was most
pleasant one socially. During most Of
the time the feast was in progress the pi.
ano discoursed sweet music under the di-
rection of Mrs. Hersh, Mrs Steele, and
Misses Cowden and Barkley. The treas.
ury Of the Ladies' Aid was replenished
to the extent of $40.
