Views and Interviews.

A most interesting talk was had yester-
day with Mr.. w. A. Stewart, Of Dunn,
Harnetts able representative in the Leg
islature of 1901, who was here on legal
business.
"How is Harnett?" he was asked
Going right ahead" he said, making
rapid strides in internal development
The two sections of Harnett-so long di-
vided by Cape Fear River-have been
united and tied by mammoth steel liga-
ment-a bridge. Buies Creek Academy,
the pride of the county and the revered
object of all our noblest and best people.
is rapidly taking the lead among institu-
tions of like kind in the State. The old
school building which was burned will
soon be replaced with a brick structure
that would do credit to any city. This
school is the educational MEGA of our
county.
They say Harntt is a great lumber
county?"
The lumber interest is very import
ant Thousands Of dollars annually goes
into the hands of the mill men. The hid
den resources of the county are being de-
veloped to such an extent that men who
lived in the county twenty years ago
would not know it but for old faces
What is going OH in railroad matters
over your way?"
Col. John c. Angler, on last Friday
night, in a very pithy and entertaining
address in Metropolitan Hall. assured the
people of Dunn that he would extend his
line of railway from Angler to Dunn,
about eighteen miles through the heart
OF the county This our people welcome
from the very depth of their hearts. 1t
viii do more to develop the county
through which it runs than any move
ment of the kind in thirty years has done.
The citizens of Dunn hail the announce
ment with delight. Col. Angler is man
our people delight TO honor and he will
have the cooperation of all our good
citizens in his efforts TO extend the line"

alton chair factory. The Carey Lumber

Just here the reporter had to leave the
genial Stewart, whose last words were,
Dunn and Harnett are winners"
Two Republicans were talking yester-
day about the future of Claudius NJ.
Bernard. 1t is understood that Col
Harry Skinner will reach Raleigh Friday
to qualify as District Attorney, and the
question was asked, What will Bernard
do?" One said he would go back to
Greenville and seek to control the distri-
button of patronage in the First Con-
gressional district and practice law.
The other said NO he is pretty we'll
fixed financially he likes to live in Raj
eigh. and he will stay here and practice
law, expecting to have large practice
in the Federal courts" There comes a
story by way Of the Washington CORE
spcndent of the Asheville Gazette
given here for what it is worth:
Mr.. Bernard is thinking at present of
starting paper at Raleigh, a sort of sur
cease from sorrow that many misguided
souls have sought. The paper would of
course be Republican, but it is under
stood that it's editor would throw out a
touch of independence now and then, SO
a great many people would be kept won
dering what the next edition would bring
forth"
Sheriff Hancock. of Carteret who came
here yesteray TO bring an insane w.
man to the Hospital. says that the fish
ing season at Beaufort this year has
been the best ever known by the oldest
iphabitant. Plenty of fish have been
caught and the prices have been renumer-
atiye. The factories could not take care
OF the scrap. and the fishermen had TO
stop a week al the time during part OF
the season.
