Raleigh, Aug. 18—Raleigh's quarry has passed. Dan Terry, keeper of the state’s grounds, has piled dirt into the place and leveled it so that there are no pockets in it. The water has been drawn and the interest in the thing that had Raleigh in the nation’s eyes has gone. The pumping which cost slightly more than $600 did not turn up any evidence.
The solicitor has not quit, however, and intends to find out how two automobiles which were found in Cemetery Lake got there.
