The Columbia State is responsible for

on the Southern League as money

Industrial News.

We heard one of our most Intelligent
business men assert that the value OF
real estate in Washington had advanced
at least fifty per cent in two years. TO
give an idea how the valuation OF real
estate had increased within five years ne
said: "a piece of property on Main
street was purchased five years ago for
81. 500 and last week it was sold for $10,-
600. During this time it had been offered
for 5000 which was refused, then the
owner advanced it to $1,000 and it was
refused again, and finally after it had
been advanced to $4,000 it was sold. Now
/ believe the present owner would refuse
$4,000" There is no town in eastern
North Carolina in which real estate has
increased more rapidly than Washington,
and still it is on the upward grade
Washington Messenger.
Capt. Z. NJ. Pace, of Wilson, who is
in the city, says that more than mil
lion pounds of tobacco were sold this
week. He says that Wilson will sell this
year between 1S,0OO0O0 and 10000, OO(
pounds of tobacco this year.
The Moore Lumber Company was yes
terday Incorporated by the Secretary OF
State. The headquarters are at Wash
ington and the capital stock is $4,000

other vessels, buy, sell and operate tram
roads, to borrow money and to do a
general contracting business. The incor-

Fire at the College,

An alarm by the fire bell, aided by
the Methodist church and college bells
at noon last Friday, caused hasty
journey of many people toward Whit
worth, where the cause of alarm was
foundt to be. The fire was caused by
the over=heating of the furnaces, which
caught the flooring in the basement OF
the chapel. By the wise assistance of
some level heads, the hungry flames
ware soon vanquished; and by the un-
wisdom of some others there was a
good deal of unnecessary moving of
pianos and throwing out of books, ETC.,
which only added to the damage done,
and might have been avoided. AS it
was, very little damage was done.
Everybody felt relieved when the sus-
pense was oyer and all earnestly hope
the college buildings are exempt from
the fire fiend, from this time hencefor-

MOTHER Is GONE TO HEAVEN.

just at 40, on the morning of the
18th inst, the angels came to our home
and carried my dear old mother To
heaven. -Four years ago when father
died, she came to live with us. and
from then until the day of her death.
she received all the care that IL was
possible for me and my family to be-
stow upon her. For twelve months
past she was almost totally helpless.
During this period of suffering she
would so often sit in her chair or lie
in her bed with her hands folded across
her breast and sing, "How Firm a
Foundation" "Come Thou Fount of
Every Blessing" children of the
Heavenly King" These, with many
others of the old songs, which stirred
the hearts of our fathers and mothers
in the long ago. Gold bless these old
songs! They will ever seem dear to
me. But that shattered voice is hushed
In silence now, and those eyes which
had diligently watched over nine chill
dren are closed forever, and those
tired hands, which wrought many a
garment to shield her children from
the cold blasts of winter, are now
folded never to be uplifted again.
The f1re has gone out on her hearth
stone; and how lonely seem the tick
ing OF the clock and the familiar noises
ebout the place since mother went
away There is tone of sadness
even in the whistle of the steam loco
motive as it passes by. When I enter
her room or lie down at night, l can
still hear her feeble voice calling me
by my familiar name, asking for assist
ance which it was ever my pleasure to
render. l will ever feel thankful to
God that was able to respond to every
call she made upon me- One month
previous to her death, she called me to
her bedside and gave directions con-
corning her funeral. 81 want every
thing plain" she said. 81 have nv
dress already made; have never worn
it. 1t is in the bottom of my trunk.
| want to be placed in a plain coffin
and Bro. Anding to conduct nv
funeral. 1 want to be buried in a
graveyard at Baptist church. among
plain people," These requests were
carried out to the letter. All that was
mortal of my dear mother was laid
away in the graveyard at Pleasant Hill
church to await the Resurrection
Morn. 1t seemed so sad that | had
to go to her grave all alone, as far as
my people were concerned. Out of
nine children | was the only one to
stand at her grave and hear the heart
sickening sound Of the falling of the
clods upon her coffin lid. Three grown
sons have preceded her to the grave.
Four brothers and one sister we're too
far out in the interior to be reached by
wire. But thank God for the hearty
response of Christian neighbors and
friends, when the signal of distress was
given. May God bless every sympa-
thizing heart and home that came so
speedily to the relief of my wife and l
in this our time of trial, is my prayer,
for Christ's sake.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS,
And to All Others who Wish to

To meet the requirements Of
its growing circulation and in,
creasing job printing patronage,
THE LEADER has found it nec-
essary to add an engine to its

have, therefore, closed a con,
tract for a gasoline engine oil
one of the best patterns, TO be
delivered within the next SO
days. We have agreed to pay
cash for the new machine, and
in order to meet this and other
extra expenses incident to the
change of power, we must raise
an extra amount of cash be-
tween now and February |. To
do this, we have decided to call
upon all of our subscribers and
those who wish to become sub
scribers for the coming year, to
assist us, and to make it to
their advantage to do so.
Our proposition is this: From
now until the first day of Feb.
ruary, 1902, and including that
date, all subscribers, old or
new, can get THE LEADER. al

AND FARM combined, you can
get both papers by paying $l.25,
Persons who have recently paid
our regular subscription price OF
Sl.5O, can have their time. ex-
tended for another year beyond
their present limit by paying
the dollar rate while this spe-
cial offer is in force, or they can
get THE LEADER and HOME
AND FARM for another year by
paying Sl.25.
We hope all who read this
notice will take advantage of it,
and thus do a good thing for
themselves and at the same
time help us pay cash for our
engine.
FAIR NOTICE This offer will not
be continued after February l. 1t will
positively be withdrawn on that date,
and our regular subscription price Of
$3.50 per year will 60 into effect
again; SO don't procrastinate-n Is
the accepted time. There will be nc
exception to this rule, and no one
need ask or expect it.
