ing another knitting mill.
At the old Rogers mill, some fow
miles northwest of this city, on Crab
tree creek, there is a fine water power
sufficient, Il is said, to run factory
Of this kind.
The property was purchased several
years ago by Messrs. John c. DrewIy
and Wiley Clifton, Of this city, and q
fine dam WIS built. 1t was their inten-
ton to utilize the water-puwer for man
ufacturing purposes. and Mr.. Drewry
organized a stock company for the pur-
pose of erecting a knitting mill.
Before these plans We're perfected,
however, Mr.. Drewry sold his interest
in the property to Mr.. f. III. Busbee,
who also later bought MT. CliftOn's part.
1t is understood that it is Mr.. Bushes
intention to carry out Mr.. Drewry' s
original idea of utilizing the water-p0wer
for a knitting mill.
The water-power is a very valuable
one and the establishment OF a mill Or
factory there would be OF great benefit
to Raleigh

THE EXPERIMENT FARM.
No Site Was Selected For the One in
Edgecombe County.

Commissioner of Agriculture Pater-
son and State Chemist Kilgore have
returned from Edgecombe county,
where they went to locate one of the
farms for soil and fertilizer tests.
They didn't locate it. When they got
to Tarboro they found so many prop
erty owners anxious to have the farm
located on their land, and so many of
the sites offered possessing about equal
advantages. that they were unable to
come to any decision.
Commissioner Patterson said last
night that another meeting of the spe-
cial committee appointed by the board
to locate these farms would be called
to make the selection.
State Chemist Kilgore will go to Rob-
eson county in few days to select a
site for the farm to be located in that
county.
