CITY'S PRIVATE
SWITCHBOARD.
Exchange Has Been Wired and TeIe-
phones are in Place,

1t is probable that the telephone
switchboard that has been placed in
the City Exchange by the Georgia COM
pany will be in operation within rhe
next few days. The desk phones have
all been put in position, although they
have not yet been connected up.
1t is expected that this work will be
done to-day and that before the close
OF the week the company will be ready
to turn the switchboard over to the
operator who will be employed by the
city. The switchboard is in the Of
nee of the Board of Tax Assessors, on
the first floor, and the young woman
who will be located there will be in
full charge of the private system. The
Bell company has been given the same
privilege that is enjoyed by the Geor-
gia and will probably begin running
wires into the building within the next
few days. More urgent work has pre-
vented this being done sooner.

NOSE WAS BROKEN
Lively Mixup at store on White
Bluff Road.


In an alteration on the White Bluff
road last night August Buck was
badly done up by a man named
Rourke, storekeeper. Bucks nose
was said to have been broken and a
report of the ARRAY was made at police
headquarters. The trouble occurred
outside the city limits, however, and
no arrests were made.
Rourke is proprietor of a store south
Of the toll gate and Buck resides a
short distance away. From what the
police were able to learn the two men
had a dispute over a bill and the
fight followed an argument 1t was
said that Buck cursed Rourke and
that then the storekeeper began the
fight. Buck claimed to have been
struck with brass knucks and to have
been kicked. Buck was advised to
have warrants issued against Rourke.

seemed to be heller SHELTER man
ner. but the locations we're made
with reference to the contours. The
buildings were always located on
high ground, leaving the alleys and
depresslons in the ground unoccu-
pied. The problem which Mr.. Tay-
lor had to adjust was to map out
around these buildings system OF
walks that would make an agreeable
park effect. The principal feature
OF the layout is plaza almost in the
center of the State group. This
plaza, which will be Of considerable
extent. will be beautified with gar
dens, vases and probably statuary.
The problem also consisted OF sup

State buildings.
In report dated Bombay. Jan.
9, Commissioner John Barrett has
forwarded a copy OF the Invitation
be extended to fifty-two of the
reigning princess of India in at
tendance at the late Durbar. They
were invited not only to send indie
pendent exhibits to the Fair. at St,
Louis or in cooperation with Indian
States, as they might see fit, under
the charge of a commissioner to be
appointed by the central govern
ment of India, but to come in per-
son with the assurance that they
would receive a cordial welcome
and be the guests of the directorate
during their stay in st. Louis.
Commissioner Barrett says that he
met many Of the princes at Delhi
and that they expressed not only a
great interest in the Worlds Fair,
but desire to visit it. He speaks
particularly of two OF the princes.
the Maharaia of Mysore and the
Raja of Kapurthala. The former is
a young man about % years of age,
of prepossesslng appearance, of ex-
cellent education, speaks English
huently, and is Chief of one of the
most important of the Indian States.
The Raja of Kapurthala is we'll
known all over India as one of the
most progressive and influential
Chiefs OF that country. He visited
the United States during the World S
Fair at Chicago in 1893 and states
that his remembrance thereof is so
agreeable that he desires to attend
the Louisiana Purchase exposition.
Mr.. Barrett adds that because of
their ability, standing and appear
ance, and on account of the fact that
they are thoroughly representative
of the higher class leaders of the
wonderful Indian empire of Great
Britain, they would attract much
attention at the World S Fair.

promises within a few years to revolutionize the
situation. It's first step was to obtain experts
mostly young Americans-to go to the colonies
and examine what could be done to start planta-
tons and to watch results. The Colonial Office
agreed to pay the salaries of these experts, the
Association finding the men and sending the seed.
Up to the present there is every promise OF sue
cess on purely commercial lines"
We doubt, however, whether all this means as
much as appears on the surface. Some American
papers publish the report that while cotton was
grown on the Niger, it was at a cost of so cents
a pound. What appears more probable is that a
considerable part of Africa is adapted to cotton,
but that it's territory will not be developed fast
enough to more than supply the demands of the
increased spindleage of Europe-thus leaving the
American grower in undisputed possession OF his
present realm. There seemsto be some reason for
Mr.. Ashley Horne's assertion that the South has
practically reached it's limit of production, and
there is even more reason to believe that this
generation will never again see cotton as low as
it was ten years ago.

AS TO RURAL FREE DELIVERY,

After all the confusion in regard to the rural
free delivery of mails, the following official an
nouncement by the Postofice Department ought
to clear the air:
"There seems to be a wide misunderstanding as
to the present attitude of the department regard
ing rural free delivery. The statement has been
published quite generally, particularly in the
West, that rural routes that do not handle three
thousand pieces of mail per month and supply one
hundred families are to be discontinued. 1t is
not the purpose of the Department to disturb
routes already established unless they are mani
testify unnecessary. But as long as all of the
routes that are asked for cannot be established
because of the lack of sufficient money the routes
that will supply the greatest number of families
should certainly have preference"
This means in short, that of all the applications
pending those representing the largest number
of persons will first have attention. The new
appropriation for 1908 became available July LIST,
and 1856 routes which had formerly been exam
ined and approved were established during the
month. The rest of the appropriation will pay for
1000 more routes. North Carolina's population
should entitle her to more than 100 of these.

GROWTH OF COTTON MANUFACTURING IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

In our study of North Carolina's census
statistics last week, we called attention to the
Progressive Farmer, we called attention to the
try from 1890 to 19OO-an increase in number Of
establishments from 81 to III and in value OF
output from $9,563,443 to $28,372,798. Much
more remarkable is the development from 1900 to
1903 according to figures which we find in a let
ter just received from Mr.. D.. A. Tompklns, the
wel-known Charlotte manufacturer. Mr.. Tomp-
kins reports that the number of mills went from
III in 1900 to 22O in 1902, the number of spindles
from 1,133,432 to 1,743,431, and the number OF
operatives from 10000 to 1860. eve had only
$4,000 wage-earners in all our manufacturing and
mechanical industries in 1900 Taking the IN
crease in number of spindles as a basis, it is eStl-
mated that our North Carolina mills used 58l'I4o
bales of cotton last year, compared with 44,50o
in 1900 and 114,371 in 1890. As the total yield OF
cotton in the State last year, we believe, was but
549,5 9 bales, it will be seen that we are at last
manufacturing more cotton than we make.
In his address before the Southern Cotton
Spinners' Association a few weeks ago, President
George B. Hiss made the interesting statement
that In the past ten years Great Britain nas@
creased her cotton spindles only about Y per
cent; Japan about 800 per cent; the United 0taCTo
about 30 per cent; New England States aDout od M
per cent, while the South has increased aDo1t ~
per cent. In 1900 the value of North CaroLIno Ia
cotton goods was $28,O00,OO0 compared with QII'
600, 900 for South Carolina, which then leo no
South. We take it that our rise to $43,GOO'OOO IL
1902 puts us at the head of the column

TOBACCO WILT IN GRANVILLE.

DR.. F. L. Stevens, of the A. & M. College, went
to Granville last week to investigate the tobacco
wilt disease in that county. The disease has
been known in the Creedmore section for many
years, but it has been much more destructive the
last two seasons than ever before. 1t is estimat-
ed that its ravages will reduce the total product
of the county this year from 10 to Is per cent.
A strip of country about six miles wide by twenty
miles long is most seriously affected. We shall not
now attempt to give the treatment suggested, as
we expect DR.. Stevenson to give us an article
on this subject within the next week or two.
Meanwhile farmers in other infested sections
should promptly report the matter to our Exper-
iment Station.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Good-breeding is properly good nature, grace
fully displayed; and, without it, it is only a kind
of artificial humanity. Good nature is more
agreeable in conversation than wit, and is certain
to make its possessor more beloved. 1t gives an
air to the countenance more amiable and com
handing than even beauty itself, and makes even
folly and impertinence supportable. "
Fortune will give us disappointment enough and
nature is attended with infrmities enough with
out our adding to the unhappy side of our &C
count by our spleen of i'll humOr.-From Lord
Chesterfeld's Letters to His Son.
