Candidates For Mayor
Go On Record.
AND TWO SAY THEY Do
While One Declares He is the Candi.
date of the People and For the
People and Will Be Guided
BY Their Wishes in the
Matter.

The question of the municipal own
ership of water-works as this applies
to the city of Raleigh is a live issue
in the campaign that is now bub-
bling.
During the life of the. next city ad-
minstration this is a matter to be set
tied. for the franchise of the private
water-works of the city expires in 1906
this bringing the matter to a focus.
Under the charter granted by the
city there is a provision that under
certain conditions the city might be-
come the owner of the water-worbs
system, but despite the fact that the
question has been agitated in recent
elections there has been no step to-
wards securing city ownership, though
the great bulk of the people desire
this as it promises water on the most
economic basis.
But the issue must be settled by
the present Board, and there is. a call
for men in charge of the city affairs
who will heartily and sincerely enter
into the business of putting the water
works system in the hands of the city.
In view of this interviews were had
Yesterday with the three gentlemen
who are candidates for the office OF
Mayor of the city and their position
in the matter was asked.
Two of these gentlemen, Messrs. j.
S. Wynne and James /. Johnson fatty
said that they favored city ownership
of the water-works, while Mr.. Frank
Stronach said that he would be guided
by the wishes of the people in the mat
ter, that he belongs to no ring or
combination, but is for the people.
Here is the question that was asked
the gentlemen named, and with it
their answers:
do you favor the city of Raleigh
owning the present water-works sys-
temp
j. S. Wynne replied: II am in favor
of a good. clean. economical man
agement of Raleigh's government, In
favor of all that adds to its prosperity
and in particular think that Raleigh
should own its own water-works.
There are so many reasons for this
city ownership that it is hardly nee
essary to go into. details. Water is a
necessity to everyone and therefore
the plant should be owned and oper-
ated by the city so that the water may
be put within the reach of all at a
reasonable price.
James i. johnson replied: 81 have
always believed in a city owning its
waterworks, and l believe that the
city of Raleigh should own it's sys-
tenn. favor city ownership
Frank StrOnach replied: 81 have
announced myself as a candidate of
the people and for the people. That
means that whatever the people want
| shall, so far as | can, carry out if
/ should be elected mayor of the city
of Raleigh. AS have already an
nounced in my caDd l belong to no
ring or combination, and l will be
guided by the wishes of the people,"
This additional question was then
asked of Mr.. Stronach:
Mr.. Stronach, how do you expect
to know the will of the people as to
municipal ownership of water-w works %
To this he replied: Il expect to
learn this by the vote at the primary
for the candidates for mayor"

LOST ALL HEART
But Yielded to SoIiCita-

Vain, But Now Has Won The
Battle Over Drink.

Mr.. C. D. Cunningham, of Green's
boro, has received this letter:
1t gives me pleasure to add my tes-
timony to that of many others as to
the efficacy of your treatment of alec.
holism and kindred diseases. I spent
the month of October, 1903, in the
Keelev Institute at Greensboro, N. G.

went there more at the solicitations of
my friends than from any confidence
l had in the treatment. | had made
SO many honest efforts to break Oft
from the use of whiskey, only to meet
with failure. | had fought so many
hard battles with my foe only to be
defeated. that l had lost heart and felt
l might as we'll give up the struggle;
but / finally consented to go and be
cured, if such a thing were possible,
and / thank God today that | made
the decision, for to it l owe being, as
/ believe, today a permanently cured
man. ] have no desire for whiskey
whatever. and my health is perfect.
Greensboro Kelley Institute is ideally
situated in a thriving little city, the
handsome building being so elegantly
furnished it would be a most desirable
place to spend a month for pleasure
or rest alone. 1t is more like a pleas,
ant home than a hospital. The man
ager is most genial gentleman, and
makes the welfare and comfort of the
patients his study; the attendants are
courteous and pleasant; the treatment
is agreeable, and does not interfere
with the enjoyment of the patient for
an hour; the fare is excellent and
man has the appetite to enjoy it. He
may have perfect seclusion or enjoy
the pleasure of society, for among
the patients are many men of wit,
learning and culture. Altogether there
is not one disagreeable feature in con-
nection With the life of the patient at
the Kelley Institute, unless he furn-
ishes it himself.

NO GAME LAW JUG LAW.
Act Restricting the Season for Hunt
ing Applies Only to Arson
County Township.

Some concern was created in vari-
Gus sections yesterday by a publiea-
ton to the effect that general game
law had been slipped into an act, the
title of which made it apply to all
Arson County Township. whereby the
hunting of any game bird was pro-
hibited anywhere within the State, ex-
cept between the goth of November
and January, the idea probably be-
ing that there was another jug law"
Matching with respect to the sports
men of the State.
Investigation. however, showed
that the act referred to contained no
clause which could reasonably be
construed as having general appli-
cation. The act, according to law
yers, is plainly confined to the town
ship named and differs materially
from that upon which the jug law
decision was based. which while in
troduced to apply to certain counties,
embraced the entire State in positive
terms in it's provisions.
The game law referred to is as
follows:
An Act to Regulate Hunting and
Fishing in Lanesboro Township, in
Arson County.
The General Assembly of North Car
DINA do enact:
Section l. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person or persons to hunt, trap
or fish on any lands in Lanesboro
Township, in Arson County, without
the consent of the land owner.
Section g 1t shall be unlawful to
kill any partridge, quail, snipe, dove,
wild turkey, wild duck or other game
bird, save between the twentieth day
of November and the twentieth day
in January, next succeeding.
Section 3. Any person violating
the provisions of this act shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and for each
offence shall be fined not less than
five nor more than fifty dollars.
/ Section A. This act shall be ir
| force and effect from the first day oil

he is in the fight to a. finish for the

A New Use for Western !. c. Ia

1t is learned here that here is a
large shoe house in Charle9ton. S. c..
that expects to place on the market
very soon a White polish for shoes,
leather belts, certain kinds of straw
hats, ETC., the formula for which is
now being prepared. 1t has been found
by experiment that the best kind or
tale for use in making the polish is
found in Western North Carolina ana
that it is expected this material will be
used almost exclusively. 1t is said that
a we'll known druggist of Charleston
who is interested in the proposed man
ufactory, has written to Hon. Charles
j. Harris. of Dillsboro, relative to sup
ply and price and that contracts may
soon be made for large quantity of
the mineral.
The Western North Carolina tale is
whittier than that found elsewhere and
therefore makes it especially desirable
for the new brand of polish.
