- The Church Home Orphanage
children enjoyed their annual picnic
at High Shoals, n. c., yesterday
through the courtesy Of the c. & NJ
w. railway management. The occa-
sion was a very pleasant one.
The sporadic outbreak of smallpox
at the York Cotton mill did not amount
to a great deal, except to demoralize
some of the help and develop large
crop of sore arms. The cotton mill
employs a number of negro laborers
usually, and most OF these ran away,
leaving Supt. Killian with good deal
of trouble on his hands in getting their
work done otherwise. But within the
past week the situation has been very
nicely Strengthened out and things are
running as before.
- Work is progressing nicely on the
handsome new home that Messrs. j.
]. Keller & Co., are erecting for Con-
gressman Finley on North Congress
street. The framing Is now practi-
cally complete and the structure Is be-
ginning to show what 1t will look like
when completed. 1t is to be quite q
large two-story structure, that will
have twelve rooms, six above and six
below, with spacious portico eXten-
sions at first and second floors, con-
structed with colonial effect. The
new building Is being erected at the
rear of the present residence, which Is
to be torn away. The contractors will
probably turn the job over in August

The sprinkler is again at work,
after having been out of commission
for two weeks, because of needed re-
pairs. Because of the unusually hot
dry weather and the extra amount OF
dust kicked up by automobiles, people
have been brought to regard the street
sprinkler as never before. AS usual,
some have been kicking because the
sprinkler has been off the job. They
have been wondering why 1t is that
people whose business 1t is to attend
to things have not been attending to
their business. In this connection, 1t
might be well to explain how the
sprinkler is operated. Some people
think that in so much as 1t Is public
benefit, the town is paying the eX-
pense. This is not correct. The eX'
pense of sprnkling Is supposed to be
paid by dollar q month contributions,
being along the route that receives the
benefit of the sprinkler AS matter
of fact some pay and some don't. There
are some who live between people who
pay and who see no use In paying.
