Fayetteville, N. c.. February %
For the past two or three days a pet
sion has been in circulation in this city,
asking the state senator and represen-
l~tatives of Cumberland county to use
their best efforts in the legislature to
have repealed so much of the local
prohibition law for this county as will
put Fayetteville on the same footing as
lother towns in North Carolina under
1.-THE provisions of the Watts law. This
lis in accordance with the resolutions
loffered by Maj. J. G. Hollingsworth,
land passed at the last special meeting
sof the board of aldermen, which has
been published in The Messenger. The
petition is very largely signed by The
business men and property owners Of
Fayetteville, and in addition to this
lanother petition a the names of bus
mess men, manufacturers and others
ldoing business III the city, but living
outside the corporate limits. This is
nothing more than justice. The DEM
~Iocratic state convention endorsed the
WAITS law at Greensboro last June, and
the Democratic legislature should stick
lup to it. The Pain n is that, SO
far as the city of Fayetteville is con-
Icerned, prohibition has been a lament
fable failure. Citizen showed this IN

To Build Hume-

The 10 correspondent to the Lew.
iston Tribune says:
Much interest has centered in the
organization Of the Lapvai Lumber
Company here and the probable
benefits to 10 and this part of the
prairie. The new company is or
ganized by A. Hackbarth, d. II.
Gvinn, William Williamson, z. N.
Hunter and others and the purpose
of the company is to construct
fumes and operate the same and
operate sawmills and other like in
dustries. Mr.. Hackbarth, Who is
one of the larger; stock holders in
the new company, has been the pro-
prieter OF the Golden Rule mill for
the past sighteen months and this
establishment becomes part of the
new organization. The mill is To-
Gated on Lapwai creek at the cross
ing Of the wagon road from VIM
chester TO no and it is the purpose
of the company to construct a hume
for the conveyance of lumber and
wood from the mill to the depot at
Culdesac. Such a fiume will be
about eleven and one half miles long
and will cost approximately SIS. 200.
The company has been organized
with about $4,000 paid up capital
and the construction of the fiume
will commence as soon as the season
opens in the spring. It is expected
hat the fiume will be completed in
line to handle the fall cut of lumber |
his year and arrangements will be
made to operate the Golden Rule
Mill at all seasons of the year. The
luaiiiy OF TIMBER tributary 10 the
mill is second to none in the country
md is considered superior to other
racts on Craigs mountain. The
iume transportation will place the
'ompany in shipping communication
nth the outside market at all sea-
ons Of the year and the produc,
an be placed on ths market at the
,inimum cost. The facilities for
andling the lumber at the mill are
he best and the cost of manufacture
ill not exceed two dollars per
aousand. !.
