XPLOOEO THEORY
Story of Home Ice Trust
Was a Fake.
Raleigh Factories Have Filled Every
Order From Chapel Hill. This
City Will Have no Short
age of Ice Supply.

Mr.. Arthur r. D. Johnson, Of the
firm of Johnson & Johnson, dealers
in ice, yesterday exploded the theory
Of territorial monopoly on the ice
supply in this section of the State,
and said that so far as Raleigh is con-
cerned the story that there is home
ice trust, is an unadulterated fake.
For, the general supposition that there
is but one ice factory in Raleigh is
wrong, as there are two, operating
under one name, and using the same
wagons, this to reduce the expense OF
delivery and thus make the price OF
ice much cheaper than it could other
wise be.
The Raleigh firms recently shipped
a car load of ice into Durham, have
shipped ice to Chapel Hill, and in
vaded the territory" even of Salisbury
and Winston Salem and other towns.
THE report of an ice combine in the
several towns named is prepoSterouS,
said Mr.. Johnson.
In speaking of the report Mr.. John
son said
The report from Chapel Hill does
the ice manufacturers and dealers OF
Raleigh a gross injustice. In the first
place either of the ice companies here
are glad to ship ice to any point from
which orders can be obtained. Furth-
ermore, SO far as | can learn, all or
ders received here from Chapel Hill
have been filed without delay.
"On Monday last we sent three
small shipments call we had orders
for) to Chapel Hill and it was not
until then that we knew of a shortage
of ice in that town.
During the last Few weeks many
towns have suffered for want of ice,
but not Raleigh or any towns depend
ing upon Raleigh for their supply of
ice. Both local factories have recent
ly shipped ice to other neighbor1ng
towns, and to the extent of their abil-
ity have met all demands, after first
providing for the wants of the Raj
eigh public, and there has been no
scarcity of ice here, and there is not
going to be.
1T is our business to look out for
Raleigh and vicinity first, and we are
going to do that first, last and all the
time.
I'VE are always glad, however, to
ship ice anywhere it is needed and
shipments have been made to several
points where the local supply proved
to be insufficient, during the extreme
ly warm weather.

"Two old ladies, Mrs. Lindsay and
Mrs. Stone, who have been in. the
asylum at Raleigh for nearly twenty
wears. were sent back to Cumberland
yesterday by the State authorities,
who gave as an excuse that the asy-
lum was overcrOWded, and that the
two women were not violent. Worst
of all, they came without a change of
clothing Is it possible that insane
patients are not given more than one
suit of clothes? This dreadful state
of affairs should be looked into 1t Is
bad enough to return these old women
to Cumberland, but the circumstances
connected herewith are ten times
worse. They are now in Jail, there
being nowhere else to put them, untn
quarters are provided for them at the

will have to send two more, insane
patients, back to the county.

1t appears that w. r. Dorsett, a

purchase by Glover of a sack of corn.
Glover, it seems, wanted the corn
sent to his home, but the grocer, Dor
sett asked for the purchase money
and said he would not deliver the
corn unless it was paid for. Then
Glover is said to have called Dorsett
a rascal with an opproDrious epithet

him a terrific blow over an eye, which

DR.. McKee's Statement.

DR. James Mckee, superintendent
of the Central Hospital, was inform
ed of the above article, and said that
it was extremely misleading. He
thought it was not fair to the Board
of Directors of the asylum, nor to
himself, and made the following state
ment:
"Cumberland county has more pa
tients in the hospital at Raleigh than
any other county in this district, IN
proportion to it's population. Cum
bsrland county has importuned us to
take some violent cases of insanity,
and we told the authorities there that
We were overcrowded and could not
possibly do SO. unless they would ex-
change the violent cases with us for
the same number of harmless cases
that We had here. There were three
patients here with dementia, who
were very harmless, and were from
Cumberland county. Besides being
harmless they were absolutely incurG-
bic and SO were exchanged for the
persons violently insane. One of the
three was not insane, but a pure idiot.
Two of them had been provided for
by the State for twenty years and
the Board Of Directors diSliked very
much the necessity of having to let
them be carried away. because they
were regarded as fixtures of the in
stitution. They were under nurses,
and gave no trouble whatever They
left the asylum with clothes as pro-
vided by law and were sent back TO
the county from which they came to
be provided for during the rest OF

"TAINTED" DRY GOODS

w. A. White. in the Emporia Ga
zette, calls goods shipped in from
mail order houses without any mark
or label to tell where they came from
tainted" He says: "They protect
their customers as if they were thiev-
es by offering to keep people from
knowing where the mail order goods
come from. They say in their cata-
logue that none of their goods are
marked and that no one knows where
they were bought. If it is proper to
hide the place of purchase of an ar-
ticle, it is wrong to buy that article
is a man ashamed to say where he
got anything he has. There is such
a thing as tainted" dry goods, "taint
ed" groceries, and tainted" furniture
All such articles that are not bought
at home, of men who befriended you,
of men to whom you owe your living,
are tainted, because they come I'M
fairly.
The trouble in Emporia is this: So
many merchants buy their goods
away from home that a systematic
jealousy has sprung up. The furniture
dealers don't feel that they have to
buy dry goods at home because the
dry goods men furnish their homes
away from home. The dry goods men
don't fee bound to buy their furni-
ture at home because the furniture
mems wives buy their dry goods away |
home. The same quarrel exists
every line of trade. 1t is disheart-
and distressing and paralyzing |
to the business interests of the town.

RoswELL's PRIDE.

While the Commercial Club is do
ing good work in securing new enter
prises for Roswell, it might be well
for us once in awhile to review some
of the institutions we already have,
and discuss the possibility of still fur
Their improving them. From a purely
business standpoint, Roswell has no
hing in which h should take more
interest than the Military Institute.
In considering the fact that it is one
of the leading institutions of the west
(Which is, within itself, of inestima-
Bile value to the community it brings
to our city more than $50, 900 of new
money each and every year-more
than $40 per capita to the population
of Roswell. This is different from
all other business enterprises, for it
is not merely trading dollars. The
money, or the greater portion of it,
comes from the outside and is spent
here.
Every citizen of Roswell should
take a personal interest in the lnsti-
tute and dc all in his power to secure
money with which to erect more
buildings for the accommodation OF
cadets. If two hundred cadets could
be admitted it would mean an in
creased annual income of more than
$50, 900 for Roswell and her citizens.
The Commercial Club is develop
ing into a great factor for the pro-
motion of our public interests, and
if it's officers were to properly consi-
der this matter and devote their at
tention to the development of the
Institute and assist the regents and
officers, public interest could be SO
thoroughly aroused in behalf of the
school that much needed buildings
could be secured.
