OF CHALYBEATE SPRINGS.
A Popular Resort OH the Raleigh and
Cape Fear-Its Rapid Growth.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Chalybeate Springs, N. c., June 16.
Chalybeate Springs has been recog-
nized as a water OF great value for
fifty years. The water contains, by
analysis made by the State chemist
the following proportions: Magnesium
chloride, oxide of iron, alumina, sodi-
uln sulphites, Silecia.
The springs are situated in the
northwestern part of Harnett county,
some twenty-seven miles south of the
city of Raleigh, directly on the line
of the Raleigh and Cape Fear Rail-
road, which was extended from Flu
quay Springs about one year ago by
this place. Chalybeate Springs though
only one year old, has population
of 300 people or more; with several
general stores, postoffice, large lum
Der plant, turpentine distillery, good
academy conducted by Prof. w. nj.
Pearson, and a Baptist church.
Some twenty-five or more houSAs
have been built since April 1908, In
the short period of the coming of the
locomotive.
To quote a leading business man OF
Raleigh, Mature has made this one
of its choice spots to build town.
The land is high and dry and entirely
free from malaria. Enterprise al
ways tells and certainly it is true as
is shown in the results of the efforts
of MesSrS d. H. Senter and j. X.
Franklin in the way these gentlemen
are spending money in the deya'' y :
ment of the town and the SD"ia"s.
They are now building AT consider
able cost two large pavilions, one
over the spring and the other 40 by
60 feet about so feet from the springs.
The completion of these pavilions is
being pushed, since two excursions
are expected from Raleigh during
next week.
1t is said by some people who have
visited jackson Springs. that this wa
ter has the same effect as that, and
the writer sees no reason why there
should not be built large modern
hotel, filled with guests. certainly as
soon as the merits of the Chalybeate
water is more generally known.
