MANY PlLGRAMS
NOW In ROME.
Approach OF Holy Week Finds Eternal
City Rapidly Filling up.
Especial to THE ARaUs.)

Rome, April 3-The approach of
Holy Week finds Rome rapidly filling
with pilgrims representing the Roman
Catholic church throughout the world.
Owing to the celebration Of the papal
sacerdotal jubilee this year the num-
ber of pilgrims is expected to be the
largest in many years.
A big pilgrimage is organizing to
come from France, and to its members
the Pope will deliver an address con-
cerning the conditions Of the Church
in France. Another pilgrimage, large
in size, is now on it's way from the
Uuited States, and to it the Vatican
authorities will pay special attention.
Still other pilgrims are expected from
Germany, England, Austria, Hungary
and other countries of Europe.
On account of the pilgrimages Holy
Week will assume unusual sp1endor in
| the Eternal City, because the Pope
will himself off1ciato in the Sistine
Chapel, and Cardinal Rampolla in the
Vatican Basilica, of which he is the
archpriest. It is expected that both
shrines will be crowded with foreign
visitors. In fact, there is already an
unprecedented demand for tickets o.
| admission.

The Fires ARE OUT.
Wilson's Water Is Now Being Pumped
Through The Mains BY EIec-
tFiCity.

Cor. Raleigh News and Observer.
Wilson, n. c., April 1.-For several
days past Superintendent Egerton has
been experimenting at the pumping
station with the expensive electrical
appliances and electric pumps INSTALL
ed at the pumping station for Wilson's
water supply.
Seeing that ateverything was in proper
shape and working order, yesterday
afternoon at o'clock the fires in the
boilers were extinguished and the cleo
trio turned on.
Without doubt Wilson has one of the
most up-to-date water and fltering
plants in North Carolina. 1t is true,
some of our citizens claim there is too
much alum used in purify ing the water
and that it is detrimenta to the health
of the community. But we have to ao-
cept the statement Of some one, and will
say that the State chemist says there
| is no trace OF alum in the analysis last
made and that the water is pure.

THOSE MILEAGE BOOKS.
Presidnt Finley, Of the Southern Railway,
Writes Governor Glenn Letter,
Explaining Why the Besks
Are to Be Exchanged
for Regular, Tickets.
Special to the ARGUS.

Raleigh, April 1.-President W. w.
Finley, of the Southern railway, has
written a letter to Governor Glenn. ex-
planning why railway mileage books
must be exchanged at ticket offices for
tickets.
Mr.. Finley says that the settlem ent
Of the controversy dealt with rates and
not rules for regulation Of any COM
pany's business.
The rule, he says, is being adopted in
no arbitrary spirit, but simply to keep
the record of sales straight by other
railways honoring tickets.
Roads would be liable to suffer loss
of revenue in case codpon was mis-
placed.
In reply, Governor Glenn. this after
noon, says the letter was great disap-
pointment to him; that he was impor.
tuned to do so by mem bers of the Trav-
elers' Protective Associa ton.
He feels that the advantages men.
toned in the letter cannot begin te
compensate for the ill-will at will be
created by the railways if the order il
not rescinded.
The Governor asks Mr.. Finley 'tt
carry out not only the letter, but th'
spirit, of our contract. I hope you will
at once rescind the order and allow tn
public to use your books in the ole
way"

Loaded Woman.

An elderly patient in the Tennessee
region was SUI ring from a
malady the remedy for which the
doctor prescribed in the form of cap
sules. The old woman trusted her
medical adviser, but for the medicine
she evinced much suspicion.
Some time after she had taken the
capsules she was asked by her son
how she felt.
"Porely."
Don't you want nuthin' to eat?7

Soon, however, the old woman
arose from her bed and took her seat
in a rocking chair. Thinking that
the attention would be gratefully re-
ceived, the son filled her pipe and
taking a live coal from the hearth
carried both to his mother.
Take that away, son!" yelled the
old woman, in the utmost fright.

Use milk freely to develop chicks

Removing and burning the old hay

And while you are making the

can make all the more cotton on
smaller area of land because of .eed-
ing the cows or beeyes.
Study that record from the A. and
NJ. College herd. When a man makes

months, what a crop of corn he can
make with that manure spread broad

and then TO cotton, with cash in his

the peas. .,
What an area OF land you would

$50 to 200 pounds of lint per acre
To equal the amount of money that
was made from these cows? / believe
that you would never get there. But
