BOUGHT BY CAPITALISTS
THREE MILLION DOLLARS WILL
BE EXPENDED.
BIGGEST COTTON MILL IN STATE FIRST
Then Other Factories viii be Built Raleigh,
Durham and Other Towns to be Sup
Piled With Electric Lights
and With Power.

Fifty years ago the wisest men in
North Carolina predicted that Rockville.
Chatham county would be the site of a
great manufacturing city. Ii was near
that famous water powet that there was
a suggestion of establishing There the
capital of the State.
Directly after the war far-sighted men
confidently looked forward to the early
utilization of the water power ut that
place to make Hourishing centre.
About that time Col. j. NJ. Heck and
Others became interested in it, Later
it became the property OF Col. Heck
and the Lobdell Wheel Company This
week Mrs Heck and the Lobdell Com
pany have sold the famous water power
to Il syndicate composed of Messrs. Il.
" Duke and Julian 5. Carr. of Durham:
$. T. Morgan, of Richmond; and other
large capitalists / could not learn
the sum paid for the power and two
or three hundred acres of land adjoin-
ing it. but ii was a good round sum. The
men who are interested with Mr.. Duke.
Col. Carr and Mr. Morgan are large
capitalists. and as the SAYING is they will
have money to burn.
The purchasers will at once erect an
immense cotton factory at Lockvilc. and
will invest one million dollars right
away and they expect to invest three
million dollars i'm developing the prom
erty and in putting up factories. II
is expected that they will put in
plant that will furnish lights and power
to Raleigh and Durham and nearby
towns
The Lockvillc falls furnishes G.000
horse power, and is on9 of the best
powers in the South. All it has lacked
all these years has been a million dol
lars in cash. to be expended by capable
and far-seeing men like those who are
now interested III it. They will make
it blossom like the rose. In ten years,
LockvilIe will be the biggest city be-
tween Raleigh and Atlanta ON the Sea
board AIRLINE.

WHAT IS TREASON?

Inasmuch as our learned contemporary.
the Anaconda Standard, seems unable to
understand what the word treason i'm
plies, we take the liberty herewith to
quote its meaning from a work which the
Warm Springs organ ought to have in its
library in the place of BOZ Ingersolrs
lectures. Webster's Dictionary defines
treason as follows:
The offense of attempting to overthrow
the government of the state to which the
offender owes allegiance, or Of betraying
the state into the hands Of a foreirn DOW
err; disloyalty; trachery. Note-In the
United States, treason is confined to the
actual levying of war against the United
States. or an adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort.
The Standard will observe that the
Washington Post, to which the attention
of the Inter Mountain is called, does not
come within the purview of the definition
given by the great photographer. The
Post speculates merely on the character
Of the news reports from the Philippines,
drawing the CONCLUSION that one of the
battles fought was more hotly contested
than was at first supposed. The Stand
ard would have it understood tina in do
ing this the Post is as BILE as itself.
The distinction, however, is a broad

No democratic newspaper in Montana
has criticised Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Warner
and other noted leaders, for declaring
that silver will not be the paramount,
issue in 1900, but that another question
must take the place it occupied as a cam
paign proposition in 1896.
-
No democratic newspaper in Montana
has taken issue with the Anaconda
Standard in its declaration that the ratio
Of is TO / is unimportant, and that the
! question of the ratio of value between
silver and gold must be determined by
the worlds exchanges. In 1896 such a
statement in the columns of a demo-
cratic newspaper would have been
promptly challenged by the followers of
Mr.. Bryan, and that gentleman himself
would have been quoted to show it's fall
lacy. 1t would have been called a gold
bug" argument, and its author would
have been held UP before the truly loyal
as a disciple of Mark Hanna.
But tniTSS nave changed. NOT 4 uemO-
cratic newspaper has come to the rescue
of IS to /. MOI a chirrup of disapproval
has been heard. The Standard holds it's
u~ndisputed position as the leading demo-
cratic organ of the state. and yet it has
never withdrawn its declarations con-
corning the free coinage ratio of silver
md onId Can N NV ,ta11;~ao+ ,,,, doubt
the understanding had as to the intention
of the alleged silver democrats of this
state to drop the ratio as the price Of
harmony between the avowedly gold and
the professedly silver wings of the ma
tfonal democracy?
And still. the public is informed by the
Standard this morning thai the silver
republicans are looking for ''nimsy'' ex-
cuses to release them from an implied
moral obligation to support the democ-
racy in 1900. The fact is, the so-called
silver democrats of the west are more
than anxious TO drop silver as the para
mount Issue of the next national cam
paien, in order to reunite the party ma
tionally and heal the breaches created ia
1886. They would keep the question alive,
however, in states where the silver senti-
ment is strong, purely as a local issue
with which 70 parade their loyalty to the
industrial life Of the commonwealth be-
fore the people whom they would seek
to bunco.
