THE WATER INVESTIGATION"
Conducted by the Water Company in Presence
of the Committee.

Last night in the presence of the
city's Investigating Committee, the
Water Company continued its investiga-
ton of its failure to furnish the required
pressure at the Pogue warehouse fire on
February 2Sth.
Two witnesses were questioned by Mr..
Ernest Haywood and Mr.. w. L. Watson.
They were P. n. Pennington and w. D.
Wicker both of the Rescue Fire Com
pany.
Nothing new was brought out in the
evidence of either
Mr.. Haywood, for the Water Company,
declined the invitation to introduce any
evidence in defense of the company's vio-
lation of it's contract He stated as his
ground for so doing that he didn't want
to give his hand away to the insurance
companies when they were threatening
suits for damages.
Mr.. Pulaski Cowper, president of the
North Carolina Home Insurance Com
pany, who happened to be present, said
he saw it stated in the evening paper
that the insurance companies had decid-
ed to bring suit. This, he declared to be
untrue.
1.-The whole matter was left in my hands
and nothing has been done. In fact l
have not since given the matter a thought
and shall not till the result of this in
vestigatiOn is known. AS to the signing
of the subrogation papers to which refer
ence is made by the evening paper, that
is usual in such cases."
Mr.. Haywood defended the statements
made by the newspaper, intimating that
he furnished the information on which it
was based, and adding that the insur-
ance company forced the signing of the
subrogation papers.
Certainly" he added, "they did this in
one case, for I saw the paper; it was
brought to me for advice. Mr.. Julius
Lewis, president of the Water Company
had it and he couldn't get his money till
he signed it"
"That was on the warehouse, wasn't
t-and he also an officer in the Water
Company? But in the case of the others
certai nly those that I had-there was no
compulsion about signing the papers,
This closed the investigation and
Chairman Mcdonald gave notice that the
committee would meet again on Monday
evening at o'clock, at which time any
body who wants to come before it and
testify can do so.

THE KELLEY TREATMENT.

The thinking world is beginning to real
ize that drunkenness, whether habitual
or periodical is disease and not a
habit. People now understand that men
do not drink themselves into the cutters,
prisons, and madhouses because they pre-
fer being there, but because they cannot
help it. There is probably no medical
discovery of the age that has created
more genuine interest and popular at
tention than the discovery of DR.. Leslie

morphinism. neurasthenia and the tobacco
habit. Scarcely a village in North Caro-
lima is without it's Kelley graduates, and

the treatment as administered at The
Kelley Institute at Greensboro, and OF

There is much sympathy expressed
among the negroes for the two little

No disposition has been made of the
children as yet. though. and they are still
at the County Home 1t is understood
that they have some relatives at Clay

this be true, and they are the proper per-

$lI,OO 5 per cent bonds will soon
be aoated, this fund to be used in
