gested--The Banquet.
At $50 o'clock last night, President
Thompson called the Chamber to order
IN regular monthly session.
Mr.. Pogue, from TIE committee on
manufactures, stated that the commit
tee had under consideration some i'm
portant matters which would be laid
before the Chamber.
Mr. Moore, from the Tobacco Ex-
change, reported very satisfactorily upon
the Raleigh market. He reported the
purchase of twelve pounds of seed with
the appropriation made bv the Cham
Der, which had been distributed by Mr..
w. 81. Aiken throughout the territory
contiguous to this market.
Mr.. Aiken stated that he had dis
tr1buted these seeds from Holly Springs
as his starting point all over the coun-
ty. He had visited ninty-three farmers
who had promised 10 plant, aud he had
given out seed in Wake county to plant
three hundred and seventy acres. This
report does not include such farmers as
are now and have heretofore planted to-
bacco. He thought there would be an
increase Of two thousand acres planted
IN tobacco this year in this vicinity.
Mr.. Primrose thought this one of the
most important reports which had come
before the Chamber, and the distribu-
ton Of good tobacco seed should be
! fostered In the future.
| letter was read from a gentlemen in
Indianapolis, Ind, asking at what price
he could purchase ten acres OF good to-
! bacco land.
Mr.. Aiken was allowed thirty dollars
as his expenses for distributing the to
bacco seed.
Mr.. W. n. Jones, from the specia
committee on the Baptist Female Uni
verslty submitted verbal report.
Mr.. Harrell, from the special commit

asked for aid and instructions in regarc
to invitations.
Mr.. Pogue said he was Of the opinion
that the money a banquet will COS
could be very much better invested in al
excursion to Winston to see that grea
manufacturing town.
Mr.. Primrose agreed with Mr.. Pogu
, and thought such an excursion woul
be great advantage to Raleigh.
Mr.. Harrell stated that the banqut
was wholly the result of private contr
: buttons, and there was no authority (
spend the money in any other mannl
, than for banquet. This will be be-
about the second week in April.

Days. And Will Make Twenty Tons
Per Day.
Raleigh is to have a new ice factory.
1t will be built by MessrS G. E. Leach
and P. H. Andrews, and it will be the
largest and most complete institution
of the kind in the State.
An elegant and very convenient site
has been secured near Allen & Grams
foundry, on West street, and fronting
the side track which connects the North
Carolina and the Raleigh and CASTOR
freight depots. This will be made
ready at once to receive the factory.
A contract has been effected with a
Northern manufacturing concern for a
complete outfit Of machinery, compre-
hendlng the most modern and most sue
cesful appliances for making the clear
est Ice. This machinery is all well under
way and will begin to arrive here in a
surprisingly short space of time. A
contract has also been closed with the
North Carolina Car Company of this
city, for the erection of factory build
ing, the dimensions OF which will be 70
by 100 feet The plan of construction
will be as perfect as is known in the ice
manufacturing industry, and will, there
fore present features of both beauty and
convenience. According to contract,
this factory must be completed within
| ty days from date.
| All the watcr used by the factory will
be supplied by the Raleigh water com
| pany. A recent analysis of this water
showed it to be remarkably pure, and
! altogether acceptable and healthful for
all uses; but in addition to the purifying
process it is subjected to by the Raleigh
water company, it will undergo special
filtration by the new ice company's f.
! ters, which will be the best so far

The Board of Immigration " ill Supply
Them--They Will Come From Nor
way and Sweden.
(By nited Press


WASHINGTON, d. O., March 1.-THE
Board of Immigration Of Florida has
taken in hand the difficult problem of
supplying domestic servants to house
holders in that State. They have agreed
to supply 1000 servant girls with places
in that State at wages ranging from Sc
TO $40 per month. These girls are to
come from Norway and Sweden. That
there might be no hitch in the arrange
ment, the board has asked the Secre-
tary of the Treasury if there are any
provisions of the Alien contract labor
law which will prevent the girls from
coming into this country. The board
explains that no contract is made in ad
vaLcs, and that the law excepts domes-
tic servants from its operation. The
fact that the board will, when they ar
rive here, provide for them, removes
them from the danger of becoming a
public charge. The board is composed
OF Gov. Fleming, Secretary of State
Crawford, and Commissioner of Agri
culture Wombell. Secretary Window
& will doubtless in day or so answer the
\ request in the affirmative, pointing out
the safeguards to be thrown around
their plans to prevent the law from
being abused

The Walnut Greek Sporting Club held
meeting yesterday afternoon. 1t has
twenty-five members, most of whom
were present, and they enthusiastically
considered various matters of club in

conveniences and various attractions.
The pond has been leased, aud all the
gunning and fishing privileges are YES
ted IN the club.
Last year the work of stocking the
pond with game fish was begun and
that feature viii continue with greater
attention this year. 1t IS the intention
to propagate several varieties Of fish
all very toOthsome-and the indications
are that under the attention being Civ
en- it, the pond will soon afford marvel
lons sport for the rod.
Cunning is included in the attractive
features. Small fowl frequent the
pond in no inconsiderable numbers,
and the appetizing duck has learned
that the long, sinuous pond IS q de-
| lightful place and visits it often. A
scheme IS III progress to induce ducks to
come more frequently and ia larger
| numbers. 4 lot Of Wild rice has been
planted IN various places, and this, it is
| supposed, Will prove an Irresistible at

Two members of the club are now
| having two unique steam launches
made, and these Will be on the pond
during the summer, adding greatly to
It's picturesqueness.
The club is q lively organization and
will find what sport an inland com
munity can afford.

Burned Yesterday Morning.
The Durham Bull Fertilizer Com
pany's factory at Durham was burned
yesterday morning. The fire broke out
about 8 AZ o'clock.
How the fire originated cannot be
accounted for. The first intimation the
proprietors or operatives had was that
the portion Of the building adjoining
what was used for an office was a seeth-
ing mass of flames There had been no
fire in this room for some time, and it
being some distance from where fire was
used, makes its origin more unaccount-
able.

their entire plant, with large amount
of fertilizer, stored away for shipment.

which was dumped out across the ID. ~
