TO DEVELOP BLUETTs FALLS.
Hugh McRae and Company Buying
Up Options. A Splendid Water
Power to Be Utilized.
fSnecial to News and Observer. j


Rockingham, n. c., Jan. 2.--There
will soon be developed in this section
what will be one of the biggest en-
terprseS in the South. Negotiations
have been in progress for over a year
looking to the development of the
Bluetts Falls, water power on the
Peedee River, eight miles from this
place and four miles above the S.
A. L. Railway bridge. These negotia-
tons have eliminated in the taking
over of number of options by Hugh
McRae and company during the last
two or three days in this and Arson
county, the deal involving the ex-
penditure of something like 100000.
rhe falls on the Richmond side was
owned by Mrs. Jennie T.. Watson, ot
this place For this property she re-
ceived S2T, 500. A number of smaller
properties on the other side of the
river and extending for several miles
up the river above the falls We're
purchased.
1t is said that elaborate surveys of
the falls and the surrounding indicate
that a maximum of so 00G horse
power can be developed. It is unIer-
stood that work will be commenced
at an early date, either by Hugh NJ :
Rae &. Co., or by corporation or
gained by them for that purpose the
power will be distribute b, eiec-
tricity to points within a radius of
twenty or thirty miles. Tie plaut will
be one of the largest of it's kind south
of Niagara.

II suffered untold agony with piles

thank God for giving the discoverer
the knowledge to make such a cure.

tainly use this remarkable remedy.
You can use this in any way you
wish to make known the wonderful
merit of Pyramid Pile Cure" Mrs.
VIM. Mucky, 81 Marshall street Eli
zabeth, n. J.
The experience of this l9.dy is that
of thousands of others no have been
assured that nothing short of an op-
GRAFTON would rid them of this dis
tressing complaint. On the face OF
it. it appears as if too many sur
geons operate in order that they may
keep their hand in. and lose no por-
ton of their skill; then, again, too
many srgeons are anxious to expert
ment (like the scientific man in Mark
Twain's pathetic story of the dog and
her little puppy, and do not have
proper regard for a patients physi-
cal welfare or condition.
We advise every sufferer to think
twice before submitting TO an oper-
alton for piles, and suggest that those
interested write to the Pyramid Drug
Co., Marshall. Mich, for their little
book on the causes and cure of pies
which is sent free for the asking.

DEATH OF MIR. j. b. BAKER.
One OF the Old Heroes i'm Gray He
Bore Years OF Suffering With Re-

Especial to News and Observer.

tSpecidi to News and Observer
Goldsboro, n. c., Jan. 2.--,here
died in this city yesterday morning at
SIX O'Clock, one of the most heroic
souls and patient sufferers this cos1-
munity has ever known. Mr.. John Is.
Baker in the 63rd year Of his age.
MIR. Baker had been utterly helpless
for more than fifteen years. and more
or less a paralytic for well-nigh forty
years; yet through all his long years
of suffering he was never known to
complain and was ever cheerful ana
joviaI.
He was soldier CT the Confed-
eracy, with a record that
perhaps few of that gall
liant army of immortal heroes could
boast: he was orderly sergeant of his
company, and was in every attic anu
every sl<irmish in which the company
participated He never showed fear,
and did some deathless deeds of heroic
daring that stand unexcelled in the an
nails of that long and brilliant str'g gle
for the supremacy of the Lost Cause.
The funeral was held from his late
home this afternoon at TWO o'clock,
and was largely attended by our citi-
zens in general and by the ThoS Ruff
fin Camp of Confederate Veterans,
who paid to their dead conrade in
arms and heroic deeds every mark of
respect.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful.

NATIONAL BANK FOR ELY
N. |. Requa to Open Institution
With Capital of $4,000 Within
Sixty Days.
TO BE KNOWN AS FIRST NATIONAL
BANK OF WHITE PINE COUNTY

Among the many new business
enterprises in contemplation for
Ely, not the least in. Importance
is that of a national bank. M.
L. Requa of the Nevada Con.
Copper Co. is endeavoring. to in
terest local capital in this en-
terprise and hopes to induce Il
sufficient number of our residents
to take hold of the project to
make the bank a local institu-
ton:
Mr.. Requa will put UP all the
money needed to start the bank,
himself, or will make up the
amount required over and above
that subscribed by our local cap;
italists; but prefers that the
majority of the stock ofthe bank
be held by residents of the town.
We are authorized to state
positively that a national bank
will be opened i'm Ely within the
next sixty days with a capital of
$4,000. The bank will be known
as the First National Bank of
White Pine county.
The business interests of the
town require an institution of this
kind and there is no reason why
it should not be a paying propo-
sition from the start. Walker
Bros. Bank of Salt Lake had
representative here last week
looking over the field with
view to starting a branch bank at
this place, and he was very ia.
vorably impressed with the pros
'pects of the camp for an institu-
ton of this kind.

The railroad connecting Ely with

for the completion of two miles Of
the road every day after work is
commenced until the road is CON-
pleted from Toano to Copper Fiat.
The work will be-carned on from
Toauo. and the contractors will
have everything in readiness at that
place to commence their work as
soon as the surveyors have finished
crosssectioning the line, (which will
most likely be done bv the teuth of
june.
The road will run down Steptoe
Valley, leaving Cherry Greek to the
west about three miles. TO point
near Currie's ranch. thence will
turn 70 the east, passing through
Flour Lake. and on to Toano,
where it will intersect the lSouthern

We are informed that the citizens
|of Glover Valley and Wells have
raised $50, 600 to be offered as bo-
nus to the company if it will run
the line through Clover Valley and
form a junction with the S. P. al
Wells, but it is doubtful if this
amount will prove a sufficient in
ducement for the company to alter
its present plans.
The distance between T6ano and
Ely is approximately one hundred
and fifty miles, and at the rate OF
two miles a day. the road should
be completed, and the first train
over the new road pull into Ely not
later than September Ist.
The road will be known as the
