THE NEW GRADED SCHOOL.
Lewis Property Being Fitted Up-School
VIII Open in q Few DAYS.

The third white school for Raleigh
township will be opened in n few days.
The Lewis property. which was leased
sometime ago, has been put into con
venient shape for four excellent school
rooms-two on each floor. The new
desks, ordered about three weeks ago,
have arrived and are low being put
into position. Mr.. Charles j. Parker
of this city, has i'll hand the matter Of
furnishing the new school. He furnished
the schools of the city with two hun
dred and fifty double desks last fall, he
says, and the new school will require
ninety-siX doubles. The desks are of
oak-antique finish, of handsome design
and elegant appearance. They are war
ranted for twenty years and it is prob
able that the children of the present
generation will find them still in use, but
perhaps little out Of style.
Speaking of the school desk trade for
the present year, Mr.. Parker says it has
far surpassed anything III the history
of the business During the entire year
1897 the total sales in the United States
WERE i'll round numbers 100000. Dur
ing the first eight months of 1898. the
total sales exceeded zoe, 900 with a heavy
demand and factories still running night
and day. The sales i'll North Carolina
and South Carolina have been more than
three times what they were last year.
Mr. Parker attributes this tremendous
increase in business to the increased
prosperity of the private schools and
especially to the dismemberment of an
Association" entered into early in 1897
by all the leading desk factories which
advanced prices about 20 per cent and
stiffly adhered to them until late i'll the
season. Several of the factories are in
creasing their capacity for next year $
business. They are expecting large
business from Cuba and Porto Rico, as
well as an increase in the States.
