DRAINAGE.

VI o"dmp and OVer-
flowed Lands How to Raise
the Money the Only Question.
MIR. L. L. Cook. of Favette-
vile, who is going to be candl-
date for Congress from the sixth
districts, according to the Wash
ington correspondent of the Raj
elgh News andObserver, taking a
big interest in the reclamation of
swamp and overflowed lands-a
subject that should be of great
interest to every man in the dis
trlct-and while in Washington
the other day he discussed this
subject with a number of promi-
nent people at the Capital. He is
reported in last Thursdays News
and Observer as follows:
The people of Cumberland,
Robson, Baden, Columbus,
Brunswick, New Hanover and
other counties in that section who
are the owners of swamp lands
are much interested in this SUBJ
ject Of drainage. The reclaim
alton Of these swamp and over
flowed lands is not only feasible
project, but one of the most mer-
itorious that can be undertaken
by the Federal government. The
only question is how to raise the
necessary money to carry out this
work.
MANY bills have been introduce
ed in Congress during the last
ten years proposingva various meth
DDS for invoking the aid of the
Federal government.
AS the result of the debate
in the Senate last week with ref
erence to the appropriation bill,
it is apparent that that body will
; not favor legislation which appro-
pirates money for the reclamation
of swamp lands owned by private
parties. The attitude of the Sen
nate makes immediate relief from
Congress almost an impossibility.
| suggested more than a year age
that the aid of the government
should be invoked, and a method
, asked similar to that by which
the lands of the arid West are ir.
. rigated and made to blossom as
the rose spent some time max
ing an investigation along this
line and l hope | will be able tx
suggest something of value.
1.-The last General Assembly Of
North Carolina passed a drainage
law by which owners of SWAMP
lands can, by petition to county
officials. establish a drainage dis
trict and issue bonds with which
to carry on the work. Under thi
scheme there must be assessment
on the lands to pay interest AM
to provide a sinking fund to TAX
up the bonds when due. Actin.
under this law and at the instance
of a large number of farmers
petitions have been prepared witt
u the object of draining vast are;
of land on the east side of tn
"a Cape Fear. The matter has re
n ceived the enthusiastic support 0
s. every land owner approached.

funds for long time, or at yer
low rate Of interest, under some

We do not ask anyone to be customer of ours
and trade with us who believes he could receive
better treatment at some other store.
The great increase in business as shown
by the sales for the month of January proves the
confidence of our customers.
We do business on the double plan Cash and
Credit. The spot cash plan obtains goods at
lowest possible prices. No mans credit is as
good as his cash. Our credit prices are higher
than our cash prices. Common sense knows this
is necessary.

Tiles to Force Door.
II is believed that the negro had
been lettering in nearby alley and
that he knew that Mr.. Trower had
not returned home. A few minutes
after Mr. and Mrs. Csterhaus had
gone. the door bell rang and Mrs.
Trower answered the ring Upon
opening the door she saw tall
negro on the porch. The negro
asked for IA piece of bread. Mrs.
Trower told the man that she had no
bread aud. throwing the night latch
on, she slammed the door. The
negro attempted to catch the door be-
fore IL was shut, but failed. He then
grabbed the door knob and attempted
to break the door in by force.
Frightened half out of her wits,
Mrs. Trower screamed and the negro
ran OFF the front porch and down
Twenty-sixth street toward West
avenue. Neighbors were attracted by
the screams and hurried to the house.
but not until the negro had made his
escape.
