Wake county, North Carolina, ar.
rived here last night with warrant
for Lewis Horton, who was arrested

leigh authorities on the charge of
abduction.
Mr. Walker will leave this morn
ing with his prisoner. No one seems
to know just what will be done with
Mrs. Rosa Perry. the unfortunate
young woman who was arrested with
Horton. The deputy has no authority
TO lake the woman back 10 North
Carolina. as his warrant is against
Horton only. It's probable. however
that Mrs. Perry will be held as a
witness and in this capacity will be
returned 10 her home by the authori.

TOO MANY ARMY COLONELS
Promotion by Merit, Not by Seniority,
Desired in the British
Special Gable to The Herald.


LONDON, Dec. ga series of i'm
portant recommendations regarding the
promotion of the higher officers in the
army is made in the report of the war
office committee appointed to consider
the existing system of promotion from
colonel to general.
The committee has discovered. that
the present system has resulted in a
"superabundance of colonels," and
that many of them have obtained
their promotion not by merit, but by
simple efflux of time"
On October l. 1905, it was pointed out,
there were $50 colonels-brevets and
substantive-on the active list, while
the number of appointments which it
was possible for them to fill was
only 252.
The cause of this congestion is de-
clared to be the regulation that pro-
vides for the automatic promotion of a
lieutenant colonel to brevet colonel
after three years tenure of lieuten-
ant colonels post or six years full pay
service.
Such a system is not in force in re-
gard to any other rank in the army.
1t is, indeed, only the lieutenant colo
mel, adds the committee, "who receives
valuable promotion after a short per-
iod, provided he performs his duties
Sufnclently well not 10 call IOr Specldl
reprobation."
The committee proposes that the sys-
tenn shall cease, and that a general
plan of promotion, "to fill an estab-
iishment" shall be inaugurated for all
ranks above that of a lieutenant
colonel. 1t proposes that the estab-
lishment shall be fixed at the follow
ing numbers:
Colonels ..... sou
Major generals .................... ~
Lieutenant generals ................ ~
Generals .'.'''..'.s.' III
The proposed new system would, it
is estimated, result in a saving of
10000 year.
Incidentally the committee lays down
the principle that promotion should be
made by merit. Seniority per SO is
of course no claim" the report states,
land we are convinced that the army
not only accepts but welcomes the
bringing forward of the best man,
though this may involve his passing
over his seniors"
The proposed establishment for each
class of officer is purposely made
larger than the number of appoint
ments in order that a certain amount
of elasticity may be obtained and
that an opportunity which does not
exist at present may be created for
promoting a specially deserving officer
for whom no immediate post is avail
able"

FUTURE KING
IS DEMOCRATIC
HEIR TO LEOPOLD OF BEL GUM
NOT LIKE KAISER
Prince Albert Has Travelled In Amer
ica-Spent Considerable Time as
Guest of J. j. HiII-Chosen
to Rule Congo State
Special Gable to The Herald.

CpeCldl SdDlO " 1AO
BRUSSELS, Belgium, Dec. 22.-Prince
Albert, King Leopold's nephew and
ultimate successor on the throne, has
been proclaimed heir apparent to the
Congo Free State. This means that,
whether Belgium anneXes the Congo
Free State or not, Prince Albert will
eventually rule over the 30,000,000 Afri-
cans in the great African empire
founded by his uncle. The official an
nouncement concerning Prince Albert
and the free state puts an end to the
heated discussion which has taken place
of late in the Belgium press relative to
this matter.
Prince Albert probably is the least
known to the general public of con-
tinental heirs apparent, and certainly is
the least talked about. Just 30 years
old, he is a most up-to-date and demo-
cratic man. Though a Hohenzollern
through his mother, the countess of
Flanders, his conception of what
modern kingship 81 ould be would un-
doubtedly drive his kinsman. Emperor
William, to despair.
The prince has Travelled extensively.
and this accounts to a certain extent
for his broad minded hberalities. He
took a trip around the world when a
young man before he married. He
made a lengthy stay in the United
states, lllIl6 llt 0tols
making st. Paul his headquarters.
While there he was the guest OF James
j. Hill, the railway magnate.
Prince Albert has put his impressions
of America is a most interesting book
of travels, which he published year
after his return to Belgium. These im-
pressions show how thoroughly in sym
pathy the prince is with the people and
Institutions of the United States.
He is scholarly and. besides the book
of travels just mentioned, has written
a history of the rise OF the great
Flemish towns of Bruges, Ghent and
Ypres. This book has been published
lately and will be followed by work
dealing with the Spanish rule in Elan
ders.
Like his popular wife, Princess eliza
beth, Prince Albert is an enthusiastic
motorist. He invariably drives his own
car, and may well lay claim to being
the most skillful of royal chauffeurs.
Nor is the prince at a loss In case of an
accident. While driving with his wife
not long ago a tire was unctured and
he promptly mended 1t himself. He has
ridden TO the hounds several times on
the motor and is the only scion OF
royalty who has accomplished such a
feat.

Huntington Park, already having a
scent car fare and service which trans
ports citizens of that thriving suburban
town to the city in fifteen minutes on
the Whittier line, soon is to have two
additional street car systems, both local
lines.
The Santa Fe line, already operated
as far as Slauson junction. is to be ex-
tended to Florence avenue, while the
new double track Huntington system,
constructed on Pacific boulevard to a
point 1900 feet north of Slauson avenue,
also is to be put through to Florence
avenue within ninety days. Such is the
promise of the company.
1t is reported that the two lines will
'be joined to form loop about the town.
Both cut the choicest territory of Hunt
ington Park and give all properties
equal benefits.
Realty and building in the bustling
town are very active this winter, more
than 100 lots a week changing hands
and contracts let for seventy new and
substantial residences. The new
pressed brick business block is almost
ready for occupancy. Seven of the
store rooms have been leased already.
Prices have advanced during the past

A reader wishes to know how to OBJ
tain relief from Inflammation of the
eyelids. Hereafter when asking for
advice please state what the condition
is most likely to be due to. Inflamma-
tionsof the eyelids may be due to any
number of causes. 1t may be due to
eye strain or wild hair, so called, or to
some reflex irritation. So please do not
forget to state in your own language
it easier for me to give explicit advice
whereas with no data at hand l can
only speak in general terms.
If besides the Inflammation there is
itching, do not rub the eyelids, no
matter how intense the itching may be.
You can easily obtain relief for the
itching by using a wet piece of linen,
which must be clean. For the inflam-
nation make a saturated solution of
boric acid and apply as often as cir
cumstances will permit. Keep the dust
out of the eyes. Should the infiamma-
tion be due to granulations, have them
treated by some one in your own fam
lily. GranulationS are best treated with
pencil of bluestone by merely touch
ing the granuleS. Should it be due to
wild hair" let some one pull them out
with fine pair of pincers. Cleanliness
is especially recommended when any
thing is the matter with the eyes or
any of their continguous parts.
There are many wise and foolish
questions asked of one who is supposed
to know more than the questioners. and
if he be conscientious he pleases every
body by answering them, no matter
how foolish the questions of some may
be. But it usually takes time to get
around to them. Hence 1 would request
that none shall be too anxious, for as
soon as l get to his or her letter it will
be answered through these columns. No
one need hesitate to ask questions on
any subject he or she may wish to be

BOUGHT SITE FOR FACTORY
Purchase in Industrial Section by the
Pioneer Roll Paper
COMPANY

Through the agency of Strong &
Dickinson the Pioneer Roll Paper COM
pany has recently purchased fourteen
lots having a total frontage of $50 feet
on Myers street, 200 feet east of the
river on Seventh street, with uniform
depth of III feet. On this property the
company will build large manufacture
ing plant and four large brick ware
houses, all of which will be fireproof.
The main factory will be two stories, of
concrete, and equipped with modern ma
chinery.
In view of the proposed improve
ments on Seventh street, consisting of
paving on Boyle avenue, extension of
the street car line, building of a con-
crete bridge across the river, and other
improvements calculated to increase
the already urgent demand for sites on
the street, the purchase by the Pioneer
Roll Paper company was at remarka-
bly, low figure. The rate for a foot
front was $55, or total of $19,25O for
the parcel.
