A lest or the new filters at the water
works develops the fact that they have
not one-half the capacity guaranteed I
in the contract covering their construe-
Uon. At the present rate of consump-tion
Greensboro will drink up the
greater part of Morchead township in
a few years unless satisfactory filters

real estate, this plan of guzzling
It down in one's drinking water.

Col. Fairbother's bright publication,
"Everything," oame out on schedule
time Friday, notwithstanding the
Revill building fire, which consumed
much of Stone's printing office, where
the magazine is printed. The type for
the issue was standing in galleys when
the fire occurred, but fortunately es-caped
transformation into "pi."
Through the courtesy of the other
offices the Colonel was enabled to pour
forth his melodies to a waiting world
with scarcely more than a suspicion of
hoarseness, caused by the type setting
its feet wet. All in all it was one of
the best numbers ever issued.
At the seventh annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Hunter Manu-facturing
and Commission Company,
held at the company's main office here
last Thursday, the re port of the secretary
showed an increase in business during
the year of 50 per cent. Prom small
beginnings the company has developed
the secoud largest business of its kind
in GreensUiro, having offices and sales
rooms hi New York, Baltimore and -i.
Louis, besides its local connections in
Southern cotton mill territory. At the
meeting Thursday the old board of di-rectors
and officers were elected for the
seventh time without change, and the
usual dividend declared.
'The highway commission is desirous
of making all possible headway with
the macadam road work ol the county
and would uree the farmers living
along the roads adopted and surveyed
for improvement to begin hauling stone
to the stations already designated. As
fast as practicable additional stations
will be designated, and there should be
the utmost willingness on the part of
the people in the country to co-operate
with the commission by supplying all
the stone needed, especially as a rea-sonable
price Is paid for the stone. It
is but natural to suppose that those
roads on which stone is earliest avail-able
will be improved first.
Major Joe Morehead has returned
from Washington more enthusiastic
than ever over Rattle Ground affairs.
He found the President very much in-terested
in this historic field, while-
Speaker Cannon, who was born almost
in this cradle of liberty, is developing
into one of its most ardent supporters.
Our readers will recall that Senator
Aldrich introduced a bill in Congress
last week to erect a $25,000 monument
here to General Greene. Really, it
looks as if things were coming the In-domitable
Major's way. Congressman
W. VV. Kitcbin has In course of prep-aration
a bill designed to turn the Rat-tle
Ground over to the government,
with a view to creating a national mili-tary
park.
Mr. Ervin Donnell, a good Gilmer
township farmer, has about come to
the conclusion that there is at least one
dishonest person in the world. Satur-day
morning Mr. Donnell and his
daughter, Miss Mary, drove to the
city and put their horse in a stall at
the public hitching lot, opposite the
old market, on South Davie street.
About noon they started home, but
before reaching the city limits the
young lady discovered that her pocket-book
was missing. She recalled hav-ing
hail the purse when preparing to
start home anil they hurriedly returned
to the hitching lot, but no trace of the
missing purse was to be found. The
purse contained $00.01, $-7 belonging
to Mr. Donnell and the balance to his
daughter, and while the loss of the
money is not a serious blow to them
Mr. Donnell can not help wishing that
some honest man had found it and re-stored
it to Its rightful owners or turned
it over to the authorities.
GUILFORD WANTS THE CAR LINE.
The Renbo.\ mill, two miles west of
Greensboro, is now prepared to grind
corn on short notice. l-3t
Trustees of the College Submit an At-tractive
Proposition to the Greens-boro
Electric Company.
At a meeting of the trustees of Guil-ford
College last Saturday steps were
takeu to place the college on a footing
scarcely dreamed of by its founders.
At this meeting the sum of $4,000 was
raised by the trustees to liquidate the
indebtedness of the college, incurred
for recent improvements, principally
electric light plant, waterworks, etc.
The board was honored with the
presence of a Quaker of national repu-tation,
Allen Jay, who is greatly inter-ested
in raising the endowment of the
college to $100,000. This expert in
school work has shown his metal along
the endowment-raising hue by secur-ing
one of $400,000 for Karlhaui Col-lege
at bis home in Richmond, Ind.,
and his presence and advice Saturday
were greatly appreciated by the trus-tees.
The college already has 100,000 from
which it draws an income and steps
were taken Saturday which promise
well for the attainment of the 1100,000
mark. Conditional subscriptions of
(5,000 and $2,000 were made by two
men at once. Mr. Jay will enter ac-tively
into the work'of raising the sum.
So far as entirely wiping out the debt
of the college, wealthy Friends North
have given the trustees to understand
that they will put down five dollars to
that end for every one dollar that is
raised in North Carolina.
Another very progressive step taken
was the oiler by the trustees of the col-lege
to the Greensboro Electric Com-pany
of $500 a year if they would ex-tend
the trolley line from Greensboro
to that point. From its present termi-nus
at Lindley park it is only four
miles. The line will be extended to
the new cotton mills to be built by a
syndicate, of which W. 1. Young is at
the head, one mile from Lmdley park,
making the distance to Guilford Col-lege
only three miles further. So with
the fact of the known progressive spirit
ol the electric company, and the oppor-tunity
for freight as well as passenger
traffic the line would develop, it stems
withiu bounds to predict that with the
added inducement of $500 a year that
(iuilford College will be on the trolley
line by next Christmas, thus placing
on one line of street cars the Green:-
boro Female College, the Lindsay
street graded school and high school
No. 1, Proximity graded schools and
public kindergartens, the State Nor-mal
and Industrial College, the Metho-dist
Protestant College and (iuilford
College. 'Then if it is carried just seven
more miles. Oak Ifidge Institute with
its delightful citizenship and its three
hundred students will be on the loop,
and truly could this car line be called
"the great educational route" and de-serve
it with a whoop.
But there are still greater educational
facilities promised by this extension of
the car line to Oak Ridge. For a long
time it has been thought that it would
go to (iuilford Rattle Ground, six
miles from the city. This road will
soon be graded and macadamized, and
it is now considered feasible to form a
loop by going to Guilford College, then
to Oak Ridge, coming back via Sum-merlield,
an important town, and
down the graded macadamized Battle
Ground road to Greensboro. This will
be a paying line and will develop some
of the finest stock, diary and fruit farms
in the South, placing rural residents
right in touch with the excellent grad-ed
schools, the colleges, and easy ac-cess
to splendid markets. It will
make the Rattle Ground road in a few
years one long row of handsome subur-ban
residences, with delightful little
farms and orchards in the tear, just as
the Lindley park line is now built up,
until land is selling by the front foot
two miles out from town, and ten dol-lars
a front foot at that.
The trolley line in connection with
Guilford's good schools, and Greens-boro's
excellent market for all kinds of
truck and produce, is going to work
wonders for the whole Piedmont sec-tion,
and in no part of it so much as
here, where the roads are being macad-amized
without a dollar of additional
tax.
One of the leaflets just issued by the
Audnbon Society of North Carolina is
on the w Mil pigeon, which forty or fifty
years aso was seen ill such immense
Hocks through North Carolina. It con-tains
a good picture of the bird, to-gether
with a detailed description of
the same and a series of ''study points
for teachers and students." This leaf-let,
together with others issued by the
society, may be had free of cost by re-questing
them of the secretary of the

Mr. J. K. Sirrine. a mill architect of
Greenville, S. ('., and his chief en-gineer,
Mr. Dallas, were here Saturday

between the Winston-Saleiu track and
the main line ofthe Southern Railway,
by Mr. VV. I. Young and his associates.
'The work on the plans will be pushed

Delaware with a capital of $1,000,000.
The organization meeting will be held
in Greensboro within the next two
weeks. The plant will be known as
the Ktowah Mills and will have 15,000
mule spindles and 500 looms.
