Raleigh Water is the Best.

Raleigh water can stand any test. The
past two weeks has been the best time
to test water, for the freshets have been
such as to make the water in many towns
muddy During all this time the water
furnished by the Raleigh Water Company
has been clear as crystal, pure and whole
some.
A prominent citizen, who consumes per-
haps as much water as any individual in
Raleigh, yesterday wrote, wholly unsolici-
ted, letter to Mr. Balm, the efficient SUI
perintendent, in which he said
Having been impressed for the last few
weeks with the excellence of the water
furnished by your company l wish to con-
graduate you, and to say that in my opin-
ion, no city in this country, large or
small, is supplied with water of such
clearness and purity, unless it be favor
ed by some unusual natural advantages.
The citizens of Raleigh are subjects of
congratulation on your excellent plant
and management"

BIGGEST COTTON MILL COMPANY.
The Holt-Granite Manufacturing Company
Combines Three Companies.

All the cotton mills at Haw River have
been organized in one corporation. For
half century the late overnor Holt had
at Haw River the Granite Manufacturing
Company, which he enlarged from time to
time until it was one of the best equip
ped, largest and most successful mills
in North Carolina. About ten years ago
Thomas M. Holt Manufacturing Company
was organized and very large mill was
built. The Cora Company's mill was COM
pleted about two years ago. These three
companies have now been merged into
one under the name Of the Holt-Granite
Manufacturing Company, and is without
doubt the largest mill in North Caro-
lima. Under the able management of Mr.
A. w. Haywood, the president, and Mr.
b. S. Robertson, the treasurer, the past
success of each corporation will be sur
passed in the one large corporation.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured a
large quantity of bogus pills, which are
so cleyerly executed that the average
person would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things of great value are al
ways selected by counterfeiters for imi-

Stomach Bitters which has many imita-

spepsia, constipation, nervousness and
general debility. The Bitters set things
right in the stomach, and when the stom-

Immediately left the place, the latter
backing out of the door.
They disappeared in the darkness and
the barkeeper looked for policeman,
but did not find one He then aroused
the proprietor Of the saloon, who likes
near by, but the robbers made good
their escape.
Ex-Alderman Archambault this morn
ing said that two men have been hang
ing around the saloon for some time and
that their actions have been suspicious.
They do not work, and the source from
which they derive their living is mys-
terry. Mr.. ArchanlbauH suspects them
Of the robbery.
He said the saloon did good business
last night, and that the men who COM
NIT ted the robbery manifestly knew it.
Therefore, they must be men who were
familiar with the place, and they must
have been in it during the evening
taking notes.
The case will be put in the hands of
City Detective Murphy. 1t is possible
the robbers will be discovered and Gap
tured, though they left no clue as to
their identity when they committed the
robbery. The description which the bar
KEEPER was able to get of them may be
of value in running them down.
The latest robbery of the Pine Tree
saloon previous to this one occurre
about three months ago. On that occa-
sion the robbers made a haul of SIT or
$50. In prior robberies as high as SOC
has been secured.

has done some leasing, and at present
is in control of property at Burling-
ten, which makes him a good living.
He is unmarried.
Both men are sturdy specimens of
manhood, and but for their misfor-
tunes, would doubtless be more than
ordinarily successful at their work.
Handicapped as they are, either of the
men would be far more than a match
for the unframed novice at drilling, no
matter what his strength and deter
mnation.
Some men in the face of disaster
like theirs would lose all hope. and be-
come helpless charges upon the public.
! Not so these two sturdy, brave heart
ed miners. They took up their work
of caring for themselves, and have
never let UP for a moment. 1t would

anywhere.

BECAME OF AGE IN JAIL
Geoge H. Mayer Had Trouble Over
Drafts But Inherited an Estate
and Secured Freedom.

George H. Mayer, the young Philip
pine soldier arrested here several
months ago on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses from the
Hen ,essy Mercantile company, was re-
leased from custody last evening. May
er's offense consisted of getting two
drafts for 800 each cashed at the Hen
messy store. The drafts were drawn on
his father, a resident of San Francisco.
but. when they were sent to him for col
lection they were dishonored and re-
turned. Mayer was consequently tried
for having cashed one of the drafts and
acquitted, but was remanded to Jail to
be tried for cashing the second draft.

Cured.
Dewitt, the barkeeper has had at least
two experiences Of the kind that he
passed through last night. Five months
ago he was held up in the Elliott house
bar, which is few feet east from the
Lone Pine saloon. The robbers took SIS
from him that time.
In both cases he was taken unawares
by the bandits, and there was nothing
for him to do but hand out the money
or be very peaceable while the robbers
helped themselves.
Three years ago, when the Lone Pine
resort was robbed, an aged Frenchman,
named Dennis Amiot, was the bar
keeper, and he made a fight to protect
the till. He was shot in the side and
was in the hospital for nearly year
with the wound. The robbers did not
get any money from the place. however.
The Lone Pine saloon is situated in a
place that makes the robbing of it easy.
1t is isolated from other houses. and the
nearest street light is a block and half
away. Also the policeman beat in
which it is situated is a long one,
stretching from Arizona street eastward
to Culvert street.
The building is in dark part of Park
street, and the policeman on that beat is
compelled to be several blocks away from
it much of the time. There used to be
an electric light near the door, but that
was taken away about year and a hale
ago.
The proprietor thinks that the police
protection is not sufficient and that the
STREET ought to be better lighted. =.

state, in 1880, when boy Of Il years.
For six years he did everything con-
