to be erected on Five Points In this

the contractors.
When completed the building will
be the finest In Greenville, and there
will be but very few In Eastern North

from beauty and service. No pains
or expense are to be spared by the
men who are behind it to make it
modern and up-to-date in every re-
For some time they have had
under consideration the construction
of the building, but their delay has
been due to a desire on their part
to have everything in readiness for
making the building something that
all of the people of the town might
well feel proud, and something that
would really be a credit to the town.
This they have done, and as soon as
all of the buildings can be removed
from the site at Five Points, actual
work on the structure will be start-
ed.
The building is to modern in
every respect. One or two electric
elevators Will installed, which
will run from the basement to the
fourth story and which will afford
every convenience for tho public

structure. There will be running
water In every room In the building,
and every modern convenience will
be afforded who have occasion
to use the building.
On the first or tho ground floor
store rooms will be fitted up. One
of these will be a drug store, and

WILL ON TIME
Millions of Dollars to be Spent on
San Exposition
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug.
great accomplishment towards the
opening of the gates of the San Diego
Exposition at the appointed time,
January 1916, has Just been made
In the passage, during the last month,
of additional issue of municipal bonds
to the amount of nearly a million
dollars, all of which Is available for
exposition uses. At the present time
the exposition management finds It-
self with more than two millions of
dollars cash on hand with which to
build Its exposition, now nearly one-
half completed.
San Diego's great faith In the
project she is carrying out is
shown in contributions through bond
Issues and cash subscriptions to the
stock of the exposition to the amount
of three and one-half millions of
up to the present time.
President D. C. Collier, of the San
Diego Exposition, makes the positive
statement today that the buildings
will be completed by the middle of
1914. and that all of the parkings,
roadways and general ground work
will be done by November of next
year.
All foreign countries, states and
counties of the United States, and all
exhibitors who are to provide build
of own, are compelled to
have their structures up and ready
for occupancy by August, 1914,
ample time for the Installation
of all exhibits and exposition
by the time the exposition gates
will open on January 1916.
It to anticipated now that In Its
entirety the San Diego Exposition
will Involve an expenditure of ten
millions of Added to the
three and one-half millions already
in hand, and less than one-third of
which has been expended to date, the
participation of foreign countries and
the states and counties of tho United
States, together with that of
rations and private concerns who
will have buildings of their own for
exhibit purposes, will be a total of
rot less than six and one-half mil-
lions, thus bringing the grand total
to ten millions.

That the dispute between the rail-

tic outlook tor an early settle-
of the differences between the
two factions, and talks as though he
thinks both the governor and the
commission, as well the
legislative committee, are acting In
good faith.
Mr. Higgs ls in receipt of a letter
from Mr. Fred N. Tate, of High Point,
who is President the Just Freight
Rate Association of North Carolina,
in which Mr. Tate says that he think-,
the governor will, at an early date,
issue a call for a meeting of officers,
and as many members as will attend,
of the local associations throughout the
state. To this conference, which in
all likelihood will be held in
all officers of the local associations
over the state will be Invited, and will
be expected to attend.
Just what business will come be-
fore such a conference, should it fin-
ally called, Mr. Higgs was not
pared this morning to nor did
Mr. Tate state in letter, but it is
that the governor would lay
before these business men from every
suction of the slate, and from all
business walks of life, the proposals
that have been made by the railroads
to the corporation commission and to
the members of tho legislative com-
Governor would, of
course, It ls supposed, attend himself,
and would take part In the discus-
that would be had on the sub-

would In all likelihood be Influenced
by the action of the big conference.
Mr. Higgs points out that the gov-
cannot afford to take any other
course than to do the right thing by
the people of the state. He ls In a
position where he Is serving the
and where the people can get be-
hind him if he does not act according
to their notions. He ls a political
with enough wisdom to know which
way he should go In the matter, and It
ls certain that he will not take steps
that would not please the men In the
state who form the very backbone of
its commercial prosperity.
In the letter to President Higgs Mr,
Tate said that the local association
had shown up well In tho matter of
raising its proportionate share of the
funds that are expected of it for the
defraying of the expenses of the state
Association, but stated at tho time that
It was highly important that all of the
amount he collected and sent In, for It
more than probable that tho

Deserted His Wife in Bern,
Came To
Here A Week With A
After living In for one
week with a woman he claimed
tr be his wife, but who was in reality
only a woman who came here from
Norfolk to meet him, H. H. Baker, of
New Bern, was arrested here
day afternoon upon the request of the
officials of that town. Following his
arrest he was carried back to New
Bern, where he ls charged with
It having developed that
a wife living In that town, who, it
appears, sent word here through the
New Bern officers to have him
rested and brought back there.
Baker had been living here for a
week or more with this woman, the
two having rooms at the home of
Georgia James, and passing them
selves off as husband and wife. The
strange part of the story, however,
lies in the fact that though they claim-
ed to be man and wife they took
their meals at separate boarding
houses. Baker being at the Rives
house, and the woman eating at Mrs.
W. R. Smith's hostelry on Evans
street.
The queer and uncalled for ac-
and movements of the two
aroused the suspicion of several
people, and the county officers were
told of what was going on. When
the affair had been traced to Its
ginning, It was found that the man
and woman were not husband and
as they had pretended, but that
Baker's home was In and
that the woman who was living with
him came hero from Norfolk, Con-
stable W. U Patrick Immediately
served the papers on Baker, and
rested him, and carried him to New
Bern. Whether he gave bond, or
whether he Is In Jail In New Bern
has not been learned, but he
turned over to the officers of the law
In that town, and will be dealt with
accordingly.
The woman in tho case has return-
ed to her home in Norfolk, It is sup-
posed, or at least she has left Green-
ville.

AUTOMOBILE SPEEDING.
The greatest menace attendant up-

chines falls victim to the will of a
speed maniac, there Is no limit to

Many of cars often get over-
enthused, and have in their an
insatiable desire to outdistance the
other fellow, and see If they cannot
lead all others. This often leads to
accidents, sometimes serious ones
and sometimes not altogether so bad.

CARING FOB THE SICK.
In the past there have been In-
stances where movements started for
the benefit and uplift of mankind
have ended In failure because of the
personal ambition of a few men who
ware connected with them. Great
enterprises have gone to the wall for
no more reasons than these, and It
Is a discredit to the man who cause
such failures.
Greenville has for a long time been
in need of a modern, up-to-date hos-
for caring for her sick, but no
one has ever started a movement in
that direction that was really worth
the time and energy that were spent
on it. In some towns that could be
mentioned hospitals have been built
and equipped only to be retarded
la their service or ruined altogether
the selfish ambitions of physicians
who wanted to be the whole chow,
and control the whole thing. It seems
that some people in Greenville fear
that such might happen here were
a hospital to be established in this
town. Of course, this among other
things, should considered when
the matter Is taken up in earnest,
but we have more faith in the doctors
here than to believe that anything
very serious would result.
The greatest drawback to the es-
a hospital In this
town seems to be a lack of faith in
the enterprise on the part of the
people. It is true that such an
would mean tho outlay of
fifty thousand dollars or more, but
we cannot but believe that If there
are enough people in this town to
warrant the establishment of a hos-
that It would almost support
Itself. But no man need think
going Into the proposition with the
Intent of making a fortune, for
are few hospitals in the nation whoso
owners have made fortunes on them.
If some public-spirited citizen of
the town wants to do something for
his people, and If he wants to make
fur his name a place in history, then
he can very easily do It by endow-
a hospital for this town. North
Carolina points with pride to the
great work that Is now being done
by the Watts hospital in the city of
Durham. That Institution was es-
for the people of that city
and given to them at a cost of be-
tween three and four hundred thous-
and dollars, and one of the finest

SETTLING THE CASE.
It is now reported that the
of the railroads and the
corporation commission held a meet-
in Raleigh during the latter part
of last week, at which time It Is said
that all appearances showed that an
agreement had been reached In the
freight rate discrimination matter.
It Is reported that the agreement Is
such that It might even be accepted
by the governor and the legislative
committee.
If an agreement has been reached
that will comply with the demands
of the people of tho state and that
will not be discrimination, but will
be on an equal basis with the rates
charged Virginia then we
say let's accept it, and end all of
this very unpleasant spat with the
railroads. However, we trust and be-
that the governor and his com-
together with the corporation
commission, have at heart the inter-
of the shippers and manufacturers
of the state, that they will not
take from the railroads anything that
they believe to be or
in any way.

Who Attended
at Morehead Report
Big Meeting
After making a very delightful and
pleasant trip to Morehead City through
the country in automobiles and at-
tending the convention of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association, the
delegation that represented Green-
ville returned to town yesterday
very much enthused over the
meeting that was held, and fully be-
that Greenville has a chance
to get on the Central Highway.
Leaving Greenville early on Thurs-
day morning, the party of eight men
from this town went to and
stored their cars In garages, and
took the train for Morehead City.
On their return trip, they came to
secured their cars, and
again made the last lap of the tour
by way of the automobile.
Those who were In attendance up-
on the meeting were very much
pressed with what they saw and
heard. Mr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who
is state secretary of the North Caro-
Good Roads Association,
present, and made one of the finest
speeches that was heard during the
entire meeting. Other speeches were
by Congressman John H. Small,
cf this district, and by the chief en-
of the road. Mr. speech
was characteristic of the man, and
v us one that showed that he Is very
much Interested In the progress of
the cause of good roads in this state.
That part of the big convention,
however, which most interested the
people was the discussion
of the Central Highway, and the pros-
for bringing It, or at least a
branch of It, through this town. The
officers of the association were very
much In favor of giving this sec- j
of the state a branch of the road,
and It is now up to the people of
Wilson and Pitt counties If they want
to get on It. The route the pro- j
posed branch line would come out;
of Raleigh by way of Wilson, Farm- j
Greenville and on through;
to New Bern, where It
would connect with the main line.
It will be Impossible for this sec-j
to secure the main line, but this
can be had if the people will
go to work and pull for It.
Promises were received from the
of the good roads association
that If the people of this county
would arrange for dates and speak-
places they would come through
the section in automobiles and would
arrange for speakings and big
lies In the Interest of the movement.
That part of the branch line
lies In Wake county Is practically
Completed, and but very little work, If
any, would have to be done there. The
roads In Wilson county are also all
right, for the most part, and could be
put into first class condition with but
a little work. township
has just issued In good roads
bond to build her share of the line,
and the greater part of what remains
to be done lies between the hounds
of Greenville township the Wilson
county line.
If the people of this section get
sufficiently interested in the branch
the highway to warrant the officials
of the association In routing the line
through this section, It will be a great
advertisement for this section of the,
state. People through the
country over the highway would, In
all likelihood, go the route by way of,
Goldsboro and and would
turn through Greenville and Wilson.
Photographs and snapshots of the.
road would be published In all of the
good roads journals of the
and in that way the county would re-
a great deal of free advertising.
Those Interested In the project say
that It means much for this part of
the state, and that Greenville and Pitt
county will be the gainers If some
steps arc taken looking toward bring-
the branch line through this
county.

Information To Effect That Tobacco

Any Time Last Tear

To the
All of rumors have been In
circulation about prevailing prices of
tobacco on the South Carolina tobacco
markets. The markets there have
open about three weeks and I hear
that prices all the way from to
cents a pound higher than last year,
and I was told a few days ago by a to-
farmer In this county that he had
been Informed that tobacco was Bell-
higher in South Carolina now than
it sold any time year. This
ply misinformation and is circulated
not only to mislead but actually to
cause serious loss to those who act
such information. Last week I saw
several lobs of South Carolina tobacco
that had been sold at from to It

difficult to Judge comparative values
from year to year yet my judgment
Is these while higher than

Carolina market last year they were
not as high as they were later on of
course these tobaccos consisted of first
primings and could not be classed as
grade they were simply
trashy primings but had good color
and they did not look high to me.
The trouble about such boosted re-
ports Is they often create the
that farmers are simply tickled
over the prices they are getting and
are making big profits growing tobacco
I saw a published statement this week
from the Commissioner of
of South Carolina in which he

from that that the

further on If prices now

have been per cent. The

reports that he has just returned

are splendid.
Now what kind of impression would
likely be made by these Interviews
Simply that were getting
all they wanted for their tobacco
making big money out of the crop

at present prices on these markets
Is not true I am pretty well post-
ed on market prices as well as farm-
conditions In South Carolina and
tho price Is not high and
will not yield very much profit to
tho growers. In fact our farmers In
eastern North Carolina could not and
would not continue to grow tobacco
at the present prices of tobacco on
