Statesville, July 2—Work is progressing rapidly on the Iredell-Rowan Cottage, which the two counties are having erected for delinquent boys at the Stonewall Jackson Training School at Concord, according to W.W. Holland, county welfare officer, who has just returned from the institution. The brick work has been completed to the third floor, and it is gratifying to know that the opening of the building this fall will mean that room in the institution will then be provided for 30 additional boys, 15 from Rowan and 15 from Iredell. The very fact that the two counties will not have abundant room will be of inestimable help to the county welfare officers in restraining youths that are inclined to be incorrigible. When a boy knows that there is no room for him at the reformatory he is by nature harder to control.
The Statesville Flour Mills Company, of which F.A. Sherrill is secretary-treasurer and general manager, entertained the officers and employees of the mill at luncheon at the new Vance Hotel Saturday at noon. Covers were laid for 25, including the traveling salesmen, Messrs. Garret and Johnson of South Carolina, Messrs. Green Castvens and C.L. Poston of Statesville, and Eugene Davis of Wilson.
James Allen Stevenson, aged 67, died at his home here after an illness of five weeks, and his remains were buried Saturday morning.
