A Romantic Wedding at the Carrollton Last
Night

The Carrollton Hotel is long on mar
riages and connubial bliss and things
like that.
1t was last night the scene of a very
quiet though happy wedding. The
contracting parties were Mr.. Lee AL
oertson, OF Kenansville. and Miss Pearl
Marshall, of Statesville.
1T wasn't a runaway marriage at any
rate, so declared the groom to- a News
and Observer reporter last night. He
said that they chose this way of en-
tering upon the bliss and woes of mar
RED life, just as other people would
choose the brides home, or a church.
But when the reporter asked him
where he had met his wife, and where
they had come from to Raleigh, he said
1t was best not to say anything about
that, and that it wouldn't do to ask
TOO many questions. His wife is the
daughter of a prosperous Iredell coun-
ty farmer, whom the groom has never
seen, though he has known his wife
for twelve months.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Geo. f. Smith, pastor of Edenton
street church. Mr.. NJ. S. Gregory, the
manager of the hotel, acted as best
man and Miss Cena Marshall, the sis
ter of the bride, was maid of honor.
After the ceremony the couple was
showered with rice as an omen OF
good luck.
The groom is engaged in the lumber
business in Duplin county. After
spending a few days at the Fair the
couple will go to evansville to live.

New Mercantile Enterprise.

The establishment of five and Ten cent
stores at Raleigh, Greensboro and Cnar-
Iotte by the Kugler Syndicate, marks a
now era in mercantile industry in this
ctata If is hardly to be questioned II
there is any mercantile enterprise, Wnen
tho amount of capital invested is consld-
cred that makes more money imam the
Ave and ten cents stores. This condltion
10 due to the fact that each OF these syn
dicates owns and operates from twenty 70
sixty stores, and thereby puys sooua
in such large quantities that the most
substantial discounts are obtained, Wnlcn
in turn yield handsome profits 10 tne
syndicates. even though the retail price
of the goods is actually that usually
charged by outside stores
The very large number of articles tha'
can be sold for five and ten cents
almost beyond belief. The Kugler Syn
dictate is incorporated under the laws OF
the State of New Jersey with a capital
stock of $4,000, of which $4,000 is COM
mon and 100000 preferred stock. The
par value of the shares is 800. and the
preferred stock will have a priority over
the common stock in respect to all assets
of the company.
The several most important items to be
considered in connection with the Five and
Ten Cent store is the fact that manufac-
turers, merchants and importers supply
this trade at net prices without dating
while there is no danger of overlooking on

THE health of our section has never
been so good. Usually take my family
to Ocracoke for the summer. This is the
first year in twenty-one we have not
gone to the ocean. One of the causes of
the improved health conditions is the
better water. Four years ago we put
down an artesian we'll 204h feet deep,
but 1t had a taste of sulphur, and we did
not use it entirely until this year. After

THE NEW hosiery MILL.
The Importance of PatrOnizing Home In
dustries

Yesterday the Raleigh Hosiery Company
began the work of excavation for the
foundations of their new hosiery mill.
This will be situated on the Snow prop
erty Just north of the penitentiary and
will be up to date in every respect.
The mill proper will be a three story
brick building 1OOx4O feet, with boiler
and engine room 45x3O feet. For their
water supply they will depend upon an
artesian well. 10000 gallon tank with
steel superstructure near the building
will constitute their fire protection.
Mr. Chas. Pearson, of this city, is the
architect.
The present output of the mill is some
thing over 300 dozen pairs of hosiery per
day. of which one-half is a fine grade
goods in blacks and tans. After they are
located in their new quarters, they will
turn their attention particularly to MAX
ing the finest grade of hosiery and will
increase their plant by the addition of
machinery to manufacture chidren's and
misses hose and also ladies' hose of the
fines gauge and finish. To do this the
managers of the mill put in their own
dye works and their finished product will
compare most favorably with that of any
Southern mill. The number of hands
| employed will be increased from 100 to
| 100.
Mr.. S. A. Ashe, Jr., who is general man
| ager, says that he hopes to move into
| the new quarters by the first of next
| February.

1 something less than 5000 dozen in this

case were bought in New York and the
other three in baltimore. These goods
