SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNICS.
One at Holly Springs and One at
Fuquay Springs Yesterday.

Two Sunday school picnics went out
from Raleigh yesterday morning and re-
turned last night-Edenton Street Meth
odist church and Church of the Good
Shepherd.
The Good Shepherd picnic was held
at Fuquay Springs--an ideal spot for
such an outing. There were about 200
people, principally children, and they
spent a most delightful day. Shade
was abundant, spring of the finest
mineral water was at hand, and nothing
that could contribute to the pleasure and
comfort of the little ones and their
friends was neglected.
The people living near the Springs
showed the visitors all possible courte-
sizes and contributed very largely to the
enjoyment of the day, as did also DIR.
Sexton, the owner of the Springs, who
went out from Raleigh with the pic
nicers.
The water here is said to be the finest
in this country. 1t was known even to
the Indians and their sick were brought
to the springs to be healed. AS soon as
some litigation in regard to the land is
settled. DR.. Sexton will build a large
hotel at the springs and a number of
Raleigh people will erect cottages to be
occupied during the summer. 1t is on
the Raleigh and Cape Fear Railroad,
about twenty miles from this city, and
is destined to become a famous and
popular resort.
The members and friends of Eden
ton Street Methodist Sunday school re-
port most enjoyable day at Holly
Springs. The large crowd that went
from Raleigh was augmented by a
number that joined them at Cary and
at Apex. A large delegation of men
and women. boys and girls, were at the
depot to receive their guests, and Mr..
G. b. Afford, in his usual happy manner,
gave expression to the welcome which
was so plainly seen on every face.
Everything was done that could con-
tribute to the pleasure of the merry
praise of the village and its hospitahle
people. DR.. Utley, Mr. Carter. Mr.. II.
b. Holt and his daughters, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. B. Afford, and many others
were especially attentive and added
much to the pleasure of the day, by
their courtesies.
The town of Holly Springs is a
high and healthy location-and the
new railroad, which Mrs. Angler has
built. has added much to its advantages
by bringing it into contact with the
outside world. It's business men are en-
terprising and progressive. and are ready
to take advantage of the greater OPP
portunities now afforded them.
Situated in the middle of an excellent
cotton country. it would be desirable
place for cotton mill, and as health
resort, and a site for a school, it can
hardly be surpassed.

THE GAS COMPANY
CHANGES HANDS
The Stock Bought in by a
Syndicate
OF RALEIGH CAPITALISTS
AND THE PRICE PAID WAS
OVER $4,000.
AS HIGH AS &C IL PAID FOR STOCK
The First Meeting Of the Stockholders Held
Yesterday. The Property Will be I'm
proved and The Price Of Gas
VIII be Reduced.

The Raleigh Gas Company has
changed hands.
Many years ago the stock was owned
by Raleigh capitalists-the Hogg and
the Hawkins estates.
Then the controlling interest was
bought by parties in Baltimore Henry
Pratt James and J. Harry Lee.
Recently syndicate of Ra!ctgh's
most progressive business men and one
or two wealthy men from other places
was formed for the purpose of buying
up the stock, improving the property and
furnishing cheaper gas.
In the first of these-Securing the
stock-they have been successful. The
others will naturally follow. It's pur-
chasers are men of large means, and we
are told that it is their purpose to make
such improvements and engagements as
will justify them in giving users of gas
much cheaper rate.
The syndicate has bought and has had
delivered to it, l am told, all but ten
shares Of the Raleigh stock. The Ralti.
more stock has been bought and the
purchase money deposited to the credit
Of the former holders Of it, but the stock
has not yet arrived. The price paid is
said to have ranged from 80 cents to
66H-a very handsome price, consider
ing the present condition of the property.
The first meeting of the new stock
holders was held yesterday, but moth
ing was done beyond discuss the situa-
ton. Among those present were:
Messrs. B. s. Jerman, VIM. Grimes,
John r. Ferrall, G. Rosenthal, FL. w.
Jackson and NJ. T. Leach. Over 500
shares of stock were represented in per-
SON or by proxy. No change in officers
was made, and this meeting adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman.
The officers now are: President, B.
p. Williamson; Secretary, w. L. Me-
Gee; Treasurer, B. s. Jerman. Capt.
Williamson became president of the
company some three years ago, and dur
ing his administration he has brought
the company out OF debt and put the
property in much better condition than
he found it.
1t is stated, though not on authority,
that the out-of-town capitalists inter
ested In the deal are Col. Julian S. Car
and Mr.. L. A. Carr, Of Durham.
There have been attempts to buy up
this property for two or three years,
but for some reason the deal never
went through. The negotiations for the
property, just closed, have been pend
ing for several weeks, but the matter
has been kept such a profound secret
that it was not generally known until
yesterday.
It cost over $4,000 to purchase the
stock.
