HUSTLING ROCKY MOUNT.

The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
spent night in Rocky Mount last
week, and as the expression usually
goes, one coming after years absence
"would not know the town." The
building interest there is greater than
1t has ever been, perhaps. One of the
citizens who has been living there for
many years said, "You just can't stop
the people from building" Many
large and substantial buildings
are going up, and many more private
residences are in course of erection,
and the streets are being Improved
The town is thoroughly alive and it
was said that every man in town who
wants employment can get it. The
business people of the town have join
I'D with the tobacco men in promot-
ing great tobacco fair in Rocky
Mount September Goth and 9th.
The Atlantic Coast Line is spending
a great deal OF money in Rocky Mount
In the army OF employees in the
various branches OF their work. Some
one said to us that the monthly pay
roll OF the Atlantic Coast Line is about
S4O,COOO0.
The Rocky Mount people believe in
their town and we'll they may. The,
are clever and one likes to spend time
amongst them.

THE BARBERs' SIGN.

The striped barber pole originated
in England in the middle ages. when
the professions of the surgeon anl
tonsorial artist were one. Plebotomy
was then considered cure for every
ill.
During the operation, the unfor
tunate patient had to grasp a pole
firmly in his hands. that the blood
might flow more freely. This pole
was usually painted red. and to h
were attached the white bandages
which the barber surgeon. or the sur
geon barber, used to stop the blood.
When not in use the pole was sus-
pended outside the shop, sometimes
capped with n basin, to inform the
wounded travellers where they might
obtain relief.
The practice was made permanent
finally by law. and even after the pro
fession became separate. both the bar
ber and the surgeon had TO erect the
poles outside their establishments.

BIG PUMP BREAKS DOWN.

This morning at an early hour the
big pump at the city water plant on
the Gunnlson river broke down. A
flaw in the piston rod caused that par
ticular piece of machinery of the
pump to break down, and as a con
sequence the piece of machinery was
soon out of BUSINESS. Fortunate
ly the city in times of emergency can
fall back upon the small pump and
this was done this morning.
City Clerk Conley asked the sugar
factory to cut of its water supply
from the city mains for a period of
"a hours. This was done and al
though the water in the reservoir
tell about five feet the little pump has
been able to supply the city.
City Clerk Conley wired for Supt
Vedder who went to Rye, Colorado
Saturday to attend the funeral of his
father and it is expected that M
Vedder will return home tonight to
superintend the work of making the
repairs.
At this time OF the year the small
pump can supply the city under the
arrangement made. until the repairs
can be made on the big pump.
There has been no complaint made
regarding the scarcity OF water dur
ing the day and but few people arc
aware that there has been break
down at the pump house.

THE CLASH
OF GIANTS
ON WEDNESDAY
The High School Boys and
the Indian Lads Will Meet
on the Gridiron For Fight
TO the Teeth.

The great high school-Indian game
of football viii be played Wednesday
afternoon at $3.50 p. m. at the fair
grounds It will be remembered that
the Indian team played o to 0 game
with the high school on September 10
and in consequence this game will
probably be the hardest contested
game ever played in the history of
the two schools.
The Indians are heavy and fast.
outweighing the high schol team 10
pounds or more man. The high
school on the other hand have not lost
game this season-only being scor-
ed on once and then on a tiuke-thus
far the high school has scored -
points to the opponents 5. occurring
in practice game from the Indians, s
to o. Beating Gdenwood 81 to o and
twice dragging Delta's colors in the
bust by the scores of 6 to and Il to
O. This will be really the "big game"
1t is played midweek so the teams
will be in shape for the Thanksgiving
day game.
To all lovers OF the great gridiron
sport Wednesday will be n gala day.
On Saturday last the Indians had
four coaches on the field. The deter
minatlon on their part to win this
game has no precedent. The con
test will pass in local football his.
tory as the game that was fought to
the death" every man will go in that
fight with that grim determination
that is characteristic of the two
schools
There was some dispute over the.
outcome of the last game. the rules
provide whenever the ball shall go
over the goal line on fly it shall be
declared a touchback and brought
to the 25 yard line and put in play.
This provision in Spalding's official
football guide for 1907 should set
tie this point for all tlme.-At least
as long as the guide is in fun force
and effect The line ups will be given
In this paper tomorrow night and
everyone Interested in the orange
and gold of the old town or in the
yellow and red of the Indian school
should be at the fair grounds We'd
nesday at $3.50 p. m.-The high
school and eighth grades Will dis
miss all classes at p. m. so that the
students can see the game. and every
single one is expected to be present
as their team is well on toward the
championship of the western slope
and the season is nearly over and al
one. We had n game with Montrosel
but their team has disbanded and inI
consequence they cancelled their
game. Glenwood Springs is so weak
that the game was cancelled neces-
sarily. Palisades was to play us last
Saturday but after the defeat of
Delta the management received a
cancellation of that game. their COM
plant being that we were too
heavy. Fruita has no team so that
accounts for the scarcity of games
of our high school.
But other teams appreciating our
record this season have challenged
us. Among these teams were Den
yer Manuel Training. Salida, Lead
VILE and several others on the east
ern slope but on account of the ex-
cesslve expense of bringing these ag-
gregations over here the games have
