Catawba Lowers 50-Year Record. , "With the exception of one day L two weeks ago the Catawba I river is lower now than I have I; ever known it in the fifty years | in which I have been immediate- R ly acquainted with the stream." \ | This was the statement made 1 Friday by Mr. Sloan, of Sloan's I ferry, to a representative of the | Charlotte Observer. Mr. Sloan is the Delphic oracle ] I authoritative in all matters con- I cerning the river, says The Ob- | server. He dwells just beyond I the stream, on the Gaston side, y on a farm which is attracting | the attention of passersby on fl account of the exceptionally good H stand of corn, which he expects to yield from 125 to 65 bushels I per acre. He has records es- I' tablished by the river in the 3 course of the past 140 years. His 5 memory does not run quite that R far back, but the high-water I achievements have been treas- R ured up and imparted from g generation to generation. The I high-water mark for all that long I stretch of time was far surpassed FMay 23, 1901, when it rose 31 Q feet and 8 inches above low water. Its present condition is in marked contrast. Mr. Sloan speaks of his personal knowledge for the past fifty years with re- 'c gard to the present depression. g Have Handsome School House. a< C( The new school at Pleasant g, Valley, which is almost com- ei pleted, is a very handsome build- p, ing in which the residents of that pretty and growing community feel much pride.

The exterior is of simple C( and plain design, but its interior construction throughout is of the e< most approved style. The building has plenty of light, the win- !< dows being well arranged for ' school purposes. Two teachers will have charge ^ at the opening of the school and the attendance during the next c< term it is expected will be larger than ever before. ilust Race Without Betting. Governor Blease was asked 0 Saturday what would be his attitude toward betting in case the 0 project to establish a metropolitan race track at Charleston t< should be revived, as it is intimated it will be. "I have not changed my opinion, as expressed before my inauguration," he said. "I am opposed to gam- p bling and do not intend to allow it at a track in Charleston. Fur- n thermore, I intend to see if I tl cannot prevent any bookinaking S( or any other kind of betting at 0 the State fair races this fall. I shall instruct my men to keep a careful watch and arrest both the bookmaker and his patron in n case there is any attempt at bet- p ting." ?Columbia Record.

With the high cost of materials that enter into its manufacture comes encouragement for the appearance on the market of all kinds of substitutes and adulterants. Pure paint is composed of pure carbonate lead, sulphate zinc, linseed oil and a little turpentine dryer and practically every manufacturer who makes such a product, prints this guarantee in a conspicuous place on the can and is proud of it. Look for it and see if it is there. If not it is a 100 to 1 shot you are n 11 getting what is regard< d as a pure paint. The average painter i< n?? chemist, besides he may be influenced by eff< rs of i? ward or premiums for the use of a certain Paint. The dealer do - n t know.
