Another factor which will make business
better than usual after carnival days are
over. is the bounty in crops of all kinds,
from wild hay to fruits. An evidence Of
how directly the crops effect real estate
sales is shown in a sale made by J. H.
Dumont & Son Saturday. Julius N. c.
Andersen, a fruit grower north OF Benson
has harvested and sold the most of his
fruit crop. 1t was so large and profitable
that It made possible the purchase OF n
large farm which he has wanted, and a
deal was closed by the agents for the 1eO-acre
farm three and a half miles northwest OF
Florence belonging to Mrs. Mellisa Swigart
Mr.. Andersen paid $4,000 for the land and
he has made the entire amount from his
fruit growing. II is only necessary TO look
over the exhibits at the Douglas county fair
being held in connection with the rs
Ben arrival to understand that It will be
possible for others to buy this year either
In the city or country.

Something m DO done with the S3.154-
00, deposited in Omaha banks since July Is.
The bank statement sent an optimistic
thrsll through the veins Of business in
Omaha. 1t is said the state banks. though
not being asked for a statement, would
show a proportionate increase in deposits
and as a very large part OF their money
deposits are savings accounts the pile OF
money in them is moro apt to be invested
In real estate than the deposits in the ma
tional banks. Emil Brandeis Of ]. L.
Brandeis & Sons, bankers, said with ref
erenee TO the showing the bank would
make; 'Tf we were asked for a statement
at this time our bank would make a re-
maTkable showing. The deposits would
be shown to be at the highest point since
we organized our bank as a state institu-
tion.r t
This being the condition of the banks,
the real estate dealers are receiving moro
inquiries than usual and It is believed the
large amount OF surplus mony and savings
in the banks will seek Investment in real
estate, whore it VIII either earn money or
increasce in value and give the investors a

A Truaty Friend.

The big old clock stands in the hall,
And tells the girls and boys
When II is time to stop their play
And put away their toys.
1t tells them in the morning, too,
When 1t Is time to rise:
And with its quiet little hands.
Shows them how fast time flies.
Get up get up!" It seems to say.
"Or you'll be late to school;
And late to school, my boy or girl
Means that you'll be a fool"
And so "tick. ticki' it's hands go round;
1t works both night and day;
While people rave some time TO rest,
1t has no sleep nor play.
But vigilantly stands awake
To keep a watchful eye.

LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA, tt
\, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 20. 1908

the rear end of the train with
the engineer of roadway and the
meaning Of the activity was
pointed out. All the way from
Bostic to Wilmington track
gangsare busy replacing the
50-poundrail with g. pound
rail. The difference in the
ease of riding is appreciable,
and the lighter rails would not
stand for heavy coal business.
The 68-pound rails are coming
from the main line, which is be-
ing reid with 75-pound rails.
All along the line the kinks are
being taken out of the track,
new crossties are going in by the
thousands and at the Whining
ton end, or rather at Navassa
this side of the first river cross
ed, the tracks are being raised
four feet. This last work was
undertaken because of the lesson
learned in the recent floods,
when the track was under wa
ter and business for several days
paralyzed.
Another move-as important
as heavier rails and new cross
ties is that of ballasting the
roadbed. Toward the Whining
ton end Of the line this is being
accomplished with clinkers from
several big plants that are en-
gagged in extracting the market
able products from barytes. This
material is said to make very fine
ballast, being heavy and hard as
iron, but it is probably no better,
if as good, as the wash gravel,
which is being taken out by a
large force near Lilesville, on the
Pee Dee river. At present tha
roadbed toward Bostic is receiv-
ing this ballast. All of this
means that the Carolina Cen
trail will very shortly be able
to handle more and heavier
ITdIIlc, ana LnaC passenger CfaVel
on the line will no longer be the
reproach that it has been be-
cause of it's many discomforts.
The choice of Wilmington as
the seaboard terminal of the
Carolina, Clinchfeld & Ohio
would mean great things for the
section traversed by the Carroll
ma Central. First, it would
mean cheaper coal for the con-
sumers in this section; it would
mean a greater and more rapid
development for the territory
which the Carolina Central ira
verses, because the growth and
development of Wilmington as
the gateway Of the State must
inevitably rebound to the pros.
perity Of North Carolina.

viii Duthie Was in Portland City Hall
When Big Fire Started.

Dill II. Duthie returned last evening
from Portland, Maine, where he attended
the western Maine Pythian jubilee and
Unexpectedly participated in the excit-
ing incidents Of the city hall fire which
was told in the dispatch OF yesterday,
in which the loss approaches a million
dollars The pythian jubilee was in ses-
sion in the city hall building at the time
the fire broke out yesterday morning at
1880 O'clock Earlier In the night there
were about 500 people assembled, but
by $3.50 nearly half had gone home.
4 In the midst Of the ceremonies, VIII.
liam A. Turner OF Portland, the chair
man of the evening, was informed that
fire had broken out IN the city electri
clans office, caused by crossed wires. A
newspaper man who was going home
after closing his nights labors discovered
the flames and tried to ring in q general
alarm, but could not, as all the circuits
to the boxes had been burned out by
the crossing of the wires. The central
fire station got the alarm, however, and
responded, while few OF the call fire.
men were reached by telephone.
Chairman Turner went before the Py-
hHtdA NDiifNn@tHAk aAlN N4LtOUt N4iF WIZ
mony announced that fire had broken
out IN the building and that, while there
was no need for personal alarm, the
would do well to file out at
once. The knights started at once for
the coat room TO get their coats and
hats. For a time, the passing out of
the apparel was done orderly. Then the
place became filled with smoke and the
remaining knights had to leave as they
we're, while the coats, hats. .paraphernalia
and valises were thrown about promis-
euously Many were left, without pro-
lection Of outer apparel. and in a night
Of bitter cold. as the north wind was
blowing a gale. All got out safely, how
ever, and the only loss to them was in
wearing apparel.
The loss to the city was nearly 1000,
100, the heaviest fire damage in Maine
iince Portland had a big eonaagration in
1866.
Mr.. Duthie reports that the jubilee, al
hough summarily stopped by the Ere,
vas great success. Others from Yer
mont were G. F. @. Tinker and G. A.
lark. both Of St. Johnsbury. During
he convention class Of Al was put
through and three lodges worked in com.

DlSC0MFlTTED ATHLETE
USED FOUL TACTICS
Melvin Sheppard, Being Beaten by Guy
Haskins, Threw the Latter to the
Floor at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 25 The amnu-
al indoor track meet of Company |, LIST
regiment, Pennsylvania National Guards,
held here last night, ended IN small
sized riot that was precipitated BY an
attack made BY Melvin Sheppard, Of the
lrishAmerican Athletic club, New York,
upon Guy HaslSins Of the university Of
Pennsylvania in the course Of l,000-
yard match race, which WAS the fea-
ture of the meet
Haskins, the intercollegiate half mile
and mile champion, defeated Sheppard
recently at the Sd regiment games in
this city.
Last night the men were to make
about seven and three-quarter laps on
the fiat armory floor and had completed
six laps when Haskins made an effort
to pass Sheppard, who had taken the
lead at the second lap, and who had
practically been run off his feet by the
university runner. The men iostlad on
the false bank at one of the turns and
when Haskins started to 60 by the New
York runner on the straight track, the
latter swung round and seizing Haskine
around the neck, deliberately. threw him
to the floor.
Immediately friends Of Haskins, who
were seated along the track near the
tape, rushed upon Sheppard, who had
started to run. Someone hit him fairly
on the chin, and in moment he was
jostled and being punched and kicked.
Friends Of Sheppard ran in and for
moment there was danger Of free fight
A dozen policemen forced their way into
the crowd on the floor and rescued Shep
pard, whom they escorted to one Of the
rooms IN the armory.
George Orten, the old university of
Pennsylvania runner, who was referee,
disqualified Sheppard and awarded the
race to Haskins The committee in
charge of the meet announced that the
men would run tonight, but Mike Mur
ply, the university Of Pennsylvania
trainer, said he would not let Haskins
run.
Sheppard said that his art was that
of tired and irritated man, and that
be regretted his conduct.
