their beers were made of corn, rye

He said the reason barley was not
used was because other grains were
cheaper and cheap beers brought
about disastrous cheap saloons "

Wide Awake villages.

It has remained for the town and
village Improvement associations to
teach us what it means to have yards
that are attractive from curbstone to
alley. They have educated children
to have a proper regard not only for
the premises on which they live, but
for their share in beautifying the pub
lie school grounds teaching them that
when they deface it's walls, break
windows, pull up its flowers and de-
stroy its trees they are despoiling
their own property, a very foolish
thing to do, tc. say the least.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 1.-Theres was
no improvement in the drought sltua-
ton in this section today. Four addi-
tional cotton mills shut down near

in Broad river. An accident to the
auxiliary stream power plant, which
supplied power for 152 cotton mills,

can be operated.
Reports fro mthe cities and towns
in this section are no more encour-
aging. In Salisbury the water sup
ply problem reached an acute stage
today and in other adjacent towns the
situation is no better. Crop condi-
tions are rpidly becoming critical.
The light showers OF yesterday were
local and afforded little relief.
In Charlotte there has been mark
ed improvement, though regular ser
vice has not been resumed. Water is
| being hauled from surrounding towns,
which have proffered it in tank trains,
and is being pumped directly into the
mains, while the authorities are
straining every effort to reach dis
tant stream which may give sufficient
supply tc tide over the distress
Asheville, 183 miles away, is sending

compiled here today from ccInties
contiguous to Lynchburg show that
the effects of the drought are alarm

corn crop is reported fair, other crops
will be from half crop to almost a
total failure. Numerous branches
have dried up, but no suffering has
been reported because of the lack OF
water for domestic purposes. Some
instances are reported of farm help

PUBLIC TIRING OF

Gaiety theater.
Mr.. Edwardes started with Vienna,

All Of us, he gays. have enjoyed
her work, and honor the great men

that her supremacy is not TO remain

the wane. | see the reign OF the
