"SSu1OO' Inc plans Tor the building
are being drawn by Architect Blau.
velt. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. r. j. Reynolds offered to donate
five thousand dollars for the pro-
posed building, if the institution
would raise the similar amount.
About $4,000 of this has been Sc
cured, and the other $4,000 is now
practically in sight. Prof. Atkins is
given until July 1st to c his
$4,000 and thus comply with the
liberal proposition made by Mr.. R.
J. Reynolds.
Fayetteville Observer: Friday
night in Baltimore a deal was closed
between an English millionaire and
the Consolidated Lumber Company
by which %, 900 acres of land at and
around Spout Springs passes into the
control of an Englishman. It is
proposed by this Englishman and his
son to make a great game preserve
on this property. This son was fox
hunting in the Spout Springs neigh
bOrhOOd year before last with a
party of Greensboro sportsmen, and
so pleased was he with the country
that when he went back to England
he told his father of the possibilities
of the place as a game preserve, with
the result that Mr.. Johnson came
over himself and was also so impress
ed that he decided to purchase the
whole tract.
Winston Sentinel: Some time ago
Mr.. R. j. Reynolds, the we'll known
tobacco manufacturer, donated 81, 900
TO erect a chronological and indus
trial school at the Baptist Orphan
age, Townsville, as a memorial to
Mr.. J. H. Mills, founder of the Or
phanage, provided DR.. Boone, the
present Superintendent, would raise
$4,000. DR.. Boone jumped at the
offer and he got so close to it that
he went to work on a So, 900 indus
trial school, and it is nearly COM
pleted. In fact the building is up
and the machinery is being installed,
SO it will not be long before the boys
will be learning trades, as wood
workers, maChinists, etc. DR.. Boone
has raised all of the 1000 with the
exception of $3.50, and he expected to
get this yesterday Sunday in VIII
mington.
Lexington Dispatch Our readers
are familiar with the Dispatch Wat
ford case, whereby the latter re
ceived this paper for over four years
and nine months and when a bill was
presented him declared he had not
subscribed for the paper. A few
weeks ago we entered suit against
Mr.. WatfOrd for his subscription.
We secured Judgment against him
for amount due US and the same has
been recorded in the clerks office.
The finale of the entire matter will
end this week when we have the
sheriff to lay off his homestead and
secure an order to sell Mr. WatfOrd's
land. The original bill of $4.85 has
alread nearlT doubled itself by the
addition of costs, but as Postmaster
Watford isn't putting up much of a
kick and doesn't seem to be in q
hurry to settle his Indebtedness with
US we ought to be, and are, entirely
satisfied with the proceedings so far
as they have gone.
The Congressional re-apportion-
ment bill passed both houses in the
Legislature. We, as a county, now
belong to the eighth district, COM
posed of the counties named in our
last issue-Alexander, Allegheny,
Ashe, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Iredell,
Rowan, Surry, Wautauga, and
Wilkes. We fear our beloved Con
gresham, Hon. TheO. F. Kluttz, will
not want to run up against this mix
ture two years hence. The Char
lOtte Observer has this to say in re-
gard to this new district The bloom
ing ninth district runs from South
Carolina to Tennessee 1--WE have al
ready printed a picture of it,, but
the bloody eighth beats it. 1t runs
from South Carolina % north to
Virginia and then turns west to Ten
nessee and stands a good chance of
going Republican. 1t is greatly
feared that the Bull of the Brushes,
(who belongs in it, with his tail in
