The WEB.FOOI'S ARMORY.
Foundation Probably Insecure Under
the Big Tower.

The handsome tower that surmounts
the armory of the Bristol Naval Militia
Torpedo Company is being taken down
today.
IL Is believed to be insecure. At any
rate the walls of the corner of the build
ing under the tower appear to have seri-
ously cracked and settled beyond the ex-
pected settling OF the whole structure.
Ii is thought that the foundation was
made TO support the weight OF the tower.
liz was expected that the building would
settle, as all buildings do. The serious
phase OF settling comes when one part of
a structure settles out OF harmony with
the other parts.
This Is the case with the armory at Bris-
tol. The tower weighs about boo tons
and II Is thought that this extra weie ht
was too much for the foundation.
The building commissioners do not
consider that any serious damage men
aces the armory although IL will likely
DC necessary TO brace up the Foundation
under the tower. The commissioners are
W. L. II. Wardwell, Joshua 'Wilbour ana
George W. Simmons; architect. Charles
r. Chace; contractors, Russell ID. BuI-
lock and Charles A. Barbour and Mr..
Everson, OF the firm OF Everson a. Liddle
OF Provldence, an expert on buildings.
cry Engineer Shedd has been asked 10

tions and work and advise with the com
mission and architect. Architect Chace
is the State road engineer.

Origin Of "IObacco Breaks"

The origin Of the localism Tobacco
Break is peculiar enough TO be interest
ing
Before the days OF railroads. when the
distant markets made hauling the crops
tedious and expensive, the small farmers
were driven 70 clever ingenuity 20 trans
port their stuff As soon as the stripping
and curing process was complete, the
tobacco was put into a large fierce or
hogshead and packed or prizad by the
use of n wooden screw manipulated by
hand. Piyots were then fixed to each
end Of the fierce. shafts attached, and
everything was ready TO start.
Several farmers would 90 together
each merrily pushing or pulling his hogs
head. as fancy dictated. and enliveninS
the journey with story incident or Joke,
often at the expense OF each other. When
a steep hill or any obstacle lnterposed,
all dubbed in and lent mutual aid until
their property was safely conveyed past
the hindrance; and at nigh they slept
around the campfire In the open air.
Petersburg. Va, was the market for
Caswell county and that section, and
when reached the tierces were all rolled
into the warehouse. the shafts removed,
and they were then broken open (hence
the name) in the presence OF buyers and
farmers and in the midst Of the greatest
hubbub. caused by the latter urging the
excelIency of their own lot.
The wealthy planters harnessed mules
or oxen to their hogsheads and each was
driven by a slave. the owner accompany
ing the long train on horseback or in his
carriage. This was the time Of our
great grandfathers. and these breaking
days, or breaks. were great events. at
tracing large crowds, as the planters
frpquentlV had their wives or families
with them. The ladies amused them
selves shopping and visiting. as Peters
burg was q great fashion centre, and
many are the well remembered. thrilling
accounts OF the lovely bonnets AMI e!e-
giant dresses brought home from Pc
tersburg by your grandfather when
was a girl, my dear. "--Delphine Hall In
