SATURDAY, Al'KIL 5, 1902.
The seventeen nice new residen
ee* erected ie West End within
the past few year* bear testimony
>V; to the great advantage theginded
school baa been in building up our
tawii. Think of the nuwerous etb|ijt$
or dwellings erected in other portions
of the town. Think bow muck
more taxable property there ia
Qp, hero now than there was ten years
Kc ago?property that ia not only
helping pay the school tax but is
helping bear the burden of State.
County and Town taxes as well.
Has not the graded scboel been J
a paying inresttneat? Are you willing
for the town to atop where it
is? Are you willing to put*a barri|
?i, or in tkc way of its further proi
V\ ft rose and growth by refusing t?
erect a school building that will be
attractive as eur excellent scheol
has been a building that will
L accommodate double the auaib*r
of pupils and constructed with
special regard to light, and the
health ofchildreuf Hare you the
interest of the town at heart i
m To bring the matter nearer home
to you, have you no theught ef
_ yoer children's eye-sight, their
health ? Y ou complain that other '
kfc people's little children are allowed
te work in cotton mills aed sigh
for pity when you look into their
pale faces whsn they are in better
W and more healthful quarters than
i 1 your own little child crowded infc#
? to a half darkened school room
I breathing its impure atmosphere. |

} eur excellent graded school. This

) that the growth of the town is only
limited by the capacity of the

consideration of any who may c

The prime sgoscy behind Lao
easter's phenomenal growth of the
post ton years is her efficient
schools, and the people ef that town
will do well to realize it fuily and c
fostor that institution beyond any h
thor in the community. The j

*11* necessary for the accomplishment
of their nlans in thn
lovelopment of the water power,
vhich is ouu ef the most rnagniicent
in the whele world, visited
he falls last Thursday and Friday
n company with the muti-nsilionaire,
J. B. Duke, president of

reasurer of the American Tobac:o
Compat y: George A. Watts,
capitalist, and W. A. Eiwin,

nills in North Carolina.
A special te The News and
Ueurier frena Chester concerning
he visit of thsss gentlemen to
he falls, says:
While no interview eeuld be
tad with nay of the gentlemen
n question, it is believed that the
capitalists wers greatly. pleased
with what they saw and are nsore
letermined than ever to develop
he immense water power now
-unning to waste. It is pretty well
inderstood that it is the purpose
?f these capitalists to use these
thousands of horse power, estimated
at frem tifty to one hundred
:housand, for the development
:>f electricity, which will be transBitted
to the mills and munieipulities
of upper Carolina for tha
purpose of furnishing motive
power and lights.
While at aaa tiaaa it was hoped
the proaaotara of thia deal
that it would result in the upbuilding
af a l:ig industrial centre '
it tha falls yet it is laarnad from 1
me who aeries to ba "on to" the

bat tha reruotenes? of the plate

favorable topographical conditions

The gautismsQ who have baen '
legutioting the deal are to be can I
jratulutcd not only for having
mahed '.hi matter to a successful
lonclusi. n, hut also upon their
luccess in placing it iu tha hands
>f those who are so able financiilly
to develop this power to its
'ullest. it is rumored that the
vuak af building the dam will
