Fitting ceremonies were held at the
engine room of the Harriet Cotton
Mills in South Henderson at o'clock
Saturday morning when the old
steam engine which had been in OPP

was permanently stopped.
Mill officials were present, togeth-
er with number of employees Of

fastened to the door after the engine
was stilled, and was labelled "a
Faithful Friend"
This does not mean that the mills
are only now utilizing electric power
They have had it for many years.
But seasonal shortneSs Of power has
made it necessary that the steam en-
CINE be kept in reserve against a

ever, to provide current when and
as needed the entire year around.

A resolution has been passed by
tho Vance Board Of County COmmls-
sioners requesting the City OF Hen
derson to furnish fire protection TO
nropertv owners living IN the con-
gested areas just outside the city
limits. This was done at the request
of residents, following a rullng by
the city some weeks ago that 1lre-
men should not respond to alarms
beyond the city limits.
The resolution called attention to
the fact that the areas to the north'
the south and southwest are densely
populated. and that city IS furnishing
water to those sections at higher
rate than charged inside the city
limits, and that the city has MAGE
considerable profit from the same.
# was also claimed that taxes paid
by those living in the outside area
helped in reducing the tax rate IN
the city proper.
Mayor Henry /. Powell said to-
dav he had not seen q copy OF the
resolution, and could not comment
on il until he had had an opportunity
to read it, 1t was the mayor who an
nounced several weeks ago that tire
fighting equipment would be with
held from calls in the suburbs out
side the city limits.
Following is the resolution in full,
passed by the county commissioners
at their meeting Monday November
6, but which was only today made
available for publication:

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 30-The past
weeks retail and wholesale trade
felt the stimulating effect of an en-
larged demand for summer mer-
chandise, Dun & Bradstreet reported
today in their weekly business re-
view
although seasonal apparel con-
tributed the principal impetus to
the expansion in sales volume" as
serted the review, 'the upturn was
not confined to these lines alone.
"On the whole the improvement
in trade against the year-agc level
was estimated to be the largest for
any week since 1887. While an in
crease of to IA per cent was record
ed for the entire country, several
regions did better than this average.
purchasing in wholesale markets
again expanded with the improve
ment in retail volume AS mer-
chants still showed little inclina-
ton to discard the low inventories
which had been achieved with such
difficulty in 1888 orders were linked
so closely to the actual outgoing
movement of merchandise that
stocks continued relatively un-
changed"
