ALBEMARLE and STANLY COUNTY.
Novel Method Of Keeping Fresh Water In
aWeII by Cicero Ritchie.

Stanly Enterprise, Jan. %.
Miss Sadie McCanless, of Gran
ite Quarry, has position in the
office of Attorney R. 4. Austin as
private stenographer.
Albemarle now has a chain
gang, seven convicts being SEN
fenced to it by the court last
week. Frank Blalock is guard.
Surveyors are completing the
surveying of the TRANSMISSION line
between Whitney and Albemarle.
We learn that extra excavation is
being made for the large power
house in Whitney. It was found
that the earth formation at the
depth intended was not of char
acter that was first thought, and
itswill be necessary to go deeper.
On last Wednesday evening at
|3 O'Clock, at the home of the
brides uncle D. R. Efrd, IN the
presence of a number Of relatives
and friends, Miss Lizzie Hartsell
was happily married to Atlas
Hahn, of Mt. Pleasant. Miss
Essie Hahn, sister of the groom
was maid of honor, and J. M.
Huneycutt, best man.
Cicero Ritchie, one of Rich
fields best business men, believes
in sanitary laws. In his yard at
home he has a, we'll of the old
type. It has good vein of water,
but at times gets to full and the
drainage is not sufficient to suit
Mr.. Ritchie's idea. Securing 500
feet of half inch piping, a suitable
valve, extending one end into the
we'll and the other at distant
point below the bottom of the
well-made possible by the topog-
raphy of the surrounding area
M. Ritchie has made a complete
cyphon, and the we'll has contin-
ual flow into the nearby stream.
One of our observant business
men says that there has been over
Investment in almost all lines.
For instance, the plow-bov on the
farm works in a pair of patent
leather shoes that cost four or five
dollars. The fellow who rubs up
machinery wears a $3.50 pair of
gloves. And it is this way in all
classes of business. This in
creasses cost of living and also the
cost of production. It took
little panicky scare to straighten
out such Irregularities.

A bill to stop the shipment of
liquor from a ''wet" to a dry"
state is pending in Congress, and
it is said that a majority of the
members of the House are in
favor of it, but it will not pass
because Speaker Joe Cannon is
opposed to it, and whatever Can
non says goes. And yet this
hoary autocrat, standing in the
way of the most righteous and
needful measure that has been be-
fore the Congress for ten years,
aspires to be President of the

vorce, there is in Guilford an in.
