Editor of The Times:
sir,-It seems to be the idea OF many
commentators on the results of the re-
cent election that he Democratic party
should reorganize at an early date and
doctor It's d platform. l am little ex-
perieneed IN polisical matters, but have
watched with considerable anxiety the
con1paisn just concluded; ard the deplor-
abe result continues this anxiety to the
one to be Waged four years hence. The
result then will certainly depend great
deal upon the thoroughness with which
the teht IS conducted
AS to when the reorganization should
ta made. that belongs to those Old In
the business. But one thing would ex-
m the country over: If we ara no.w

BURKE GOLD MINES.
Capitalists Looking This Way for
Investment Several Mines Already

NdpAIoAA0So AVVA6 AAAo wy ava
Investment Several Mines Already
Sold.
The near future promises
to bring great activity in the
gold mining industry in Burke.
Largely through the instru-
mentality of Mr.. Walter Brem
TIE attention of capitalists has
been attracted to the gold
mines in this country and al
ready quite number of sales
have been made. The Puett
mine has been sold for $4,000,
the Perry mine for $4,000, the
Scott Hill mine, owned by
Mrs. Sarah Mcdowell, for
$4,000, the Etley mine for
1900 and the Crawley-Cooper
mine for $4,000. r. P. Orr
and ]. P. Albert, of Newport
News, Va, with w. L. Bishop
as expert, representing New
York capitalists with reported
millions behind them, have
bought these mines, and, it is
said, will have machinery in
place and two hundred hands
at work within the next month.
Ever since last fall these
parties have carried on extern
sive prospecting in different
parts of this county. Much
money has already changed
hands, and when the big deals
now said to be in progress
come to a close, large sums
are yet to be expended.
George Vanderbilt had an
agent here last week inspect
ing mines within a few miles
of the town.
The coming of these people
is of great value to the county
and let all of us give them q
hearty welcome and all the
encouragement possible.

The Meeting Monday The Natter Of
More Bridges Postponed-Jurors for
Criminal Court.

More Bridges Postponed Jurors for
Criminal Court.
The county commissioners
met in regular session on
Monday. All the members
we're present-W. b. Berry,
chairman, J. D. Glass and M.
N. Tennessee. Quite a num-
Der Of claims on the county
were presented and paid.
M. L. Clark was appointed
stock law tax collector in
Upper Fork and Silver Greek
townships in place of Andrew
Bollinger. Amos Swink and
William Ramsey were appoint
ed stock law commissioners
for Lower Fork township.
Upon the payment of the tax,
William A. Stephens was
granted license to peddle
drugs. The Morganton Cor
net Band was granted an
order releasing them from
taxes on entertainments in
the Town Hall given for the
benefit of the band. (The
town commissioners have also
granted such an order.]
An adjourned meeting of
the county commissioners was
held on Tuesday, when the
matter of new bridges over
the Catawba river was dis
cussed at length. Petitions
for four bridges we're before
the board. The commission
ers do not think the county
can afford this number of
bridges at present, but we
believe they are disposed to
grant two-in the upper and
lower parts of the county,
respectively-if locations can
be fixed leaving harmony all
around. However, the whole
matter was laid over until the
next regular meeting of the
board.
The following jury was

LARGE ICE PLANT.
Another Important Enter
prise Soon to be Started
IN Lafayette.

A few weeks ago The Gazette
stated that Lafayette would, in all
probability, have a new ice factory
in operation next summer. Well,
what was then a probability is now
reality. A contract has been
signed for the construction of the
plant which is to be completed on
the 18th of next April.
o. J. Morris, representing the
Frick Company, of Waynesburo,
Pa. was in Lafayette this week for
the purpose of contracting with T.
NJ. Biossat, manager of the Peoples
Cotton Oil Company, for the build
ing of large ice plant. The con-
tract calls for a thoroughly modern
factory with daily capacity of
twenty tons.
The factory will be built near the
company's oil mill. Mr.. Biossat
informs The Gazette that it is the
intention of the management to sup
ply points in contiguous parishes as
we'll as the local demand.
The construction of this ice fac.
tory is a notable event in the ad.
vancement of the town.

POLICY OF EXPANSION
Adopted by q Lafayette Mer.
shant-InSreaseO of Business
NeSessltates the Change.

The rapidly increasing business
of l.. Lacoste necessitates the en-
largement of his store. In order to
meet the demands of the trade Mr..
Lacoste has contracted with Zines
& Broussard for the extension OF
his store to Jefferson street. This
addition will make the length of the
building $50 feet. When completed
the store will have openings On both
Madison and Jefferson streets. An
alley will run along the building
directly ACROSS the block, thus
greatly facilitating the loading and
unloading of materials.
The Gazette is pleased to note
this evidence of progress on the part
Of this enterprlsing and up-to-date
hrm. The change will enable Mr.
Lacoste to handle a very. large stock
of goods and to sccessfully COM
pete with any firm in the State.
Wishing to be in line with the
new conditions Mr.. Lacoste has just
bought a decidedly swell delivery
wagon.

of EGGS.

of Eggs.
1t is we'll known to those who use
eggs that there is much difference
in the flavor of eggs, even wien
they are quite fresh These differ
ences in flavor are influenced by the
feed which the hens may receive
and If strong favored food be used
the result to the eggs is injurious.

Station has recently been investi
eating this subject. and tried chop
ped wild onion tops and bulbs in
feeding hens, and noted the length
of time before any change was dis
covered in the flavor of the eggs, as

A Sensible Suggestion.

A citizen of the town suggests
that the local authorities build a
couple of troughs and furnish drink
ing water for the horses of the coun-
try people who visit the town. AS it
is farmers who haul their cotton to
town have no means of watering their
stock. We do not think that such
an improvement would cost much
nor would daily supply of fresh
water. We believe this matter is
worth the attention of the Town
Council.

JOHNSON STREET
To be Extended to the In =
dustrlal Institute-Jury
Decides to Open the
Street and Fixes the Value
at 1913.

After trial lasting nearly five
whole days the suit Of the town of
Lafayette VS.. Alex Mouton for the
appropriation of a street to the In
dustrial Institute was concluded
Yesterday afternoon by the jury re-
turning a verdict in favor of the
town and fixing the price of the
land at 13IS. The contention
Of the town was that the sum of
5000 was fair compensation to the
owner, who denied the necessity of
the street and estimated the value
of the land desired to be expropri-
ated at $500. The case was
closely contested from start to
finish. The town was represented
by Messrs &. d. Caffery. O. c..
Mouton, Crow Girard and VIM.
Campbell and the interests of the
defendant were looked after by Col.
G. A. Breaux.
The jury was composed of the
following gentleme Overton Cade,
fireman; A. J. Ross, Alcide Jndice,
F. E. Davis, Homer Durio, Joseph
Potter, w. b. Torian, P. a.. Cbias-
son, J. A. Landry, Olivier Bou
dreaux, Alcide Broussard, Cleophas
Broussard.
A number of witnesses were ex-
amined to prove the necessity of
opening the street and the value of
the land sought to be appropriated.
. Judge Debaillon and the jury
listened patiently to what seemed
the interminable examination Of wit
nesses and when the attorneys con-
cluded their decidedly able argu-
ments there was an expression of
satisfaction on all faces because of
the approach of the end.
Col. Breaux argued the case for
the defendant and Judge Mouton
and Mayor Caffery for the plaintiff
After hearing Judge Debaillon's
clear and exhaustive charge the
jury retired to it's room of delibera
ton and IN less than an hour re-
turned into court with a verdict.
Before adjourning Judge Deba,l-
Ion complimented the jurors upon
the conscientious and respectful
manner in which they had dis
charged their duty and expressed
the hope that they would some time
in the near future have occasion to
enjoy the benefits of the street in
had played so important part.
The Gazette is reliably informed
that the attorneys who represented
the town in this suit will not charge
anything for their services.
