ICE FACTORY STARTED.
The Ground Broken for the New
Building Yesterday Morning.

The ground was broken for the
new durham Ice Factory" yes
terday morning and the work will
be pushed as rapidly as possible
until it is completed.
The new factory will be on the
vacant lot Immediately in the
rear Of the Southern freight depot
and yesterday workmen were en-
gagged in digging out the founda-
tion.
In conversation with a reporter
yesterday afternoon the manager,
Mr.. Lee III. Simmons, said that
the building would be erected and
machinery put in as soon as pos
sible and that, unless bad weather
sets in so that work on the build
ing could not go on, the company
would be ready to begin the man
ufacture of ice by the latter part Of
next month or first of April.
Then Durham will not only be
prepared to furnish her own ice
but can help supply the trade Of
the outside world also.
We wish the company much
success. 1t starts off under very
flattering prospects and will, no
doubt, do large business.

aThe Pride Of Durham, :,

In its issue Monday the Press
Visitor, Raleigh's bright and newsy
afternoon daily, has the following
to say about Durham's beautiful
Hotel Carolina, which the Press
Visitor refers to as "the pride OF
Durham:
"a gentleman who has travelled
much and who knows what frs;
class hotel is, remarked to the
Press-visitor day or two ago that
il was worth while to spend day
in Durham just for the pleasure Of
stopping the Carolina hotel. He
declared it one Of the best equipped
and furnished, and one Of the best
managed hotels IS be found in the
South. Il is indeed a fact that the
Carolina is a credit to Durham
and the whole state. Few hotel:
in the country are more attractive,
The finish is superb, especially or
the interior, and the furniture is o
the most modern and elegant. o
Manager Cobb it must be sale
that what he does not know abou
conducting Fl stelass and up-to
date hotel is not known in hote
business, and it is always pleas
ure to stop at his sumptuous hos
telry." s.-

A Large number Arrested.

Last night was regular weekly
drill of the Durham Light Infantry
and when the time of meeting ar
rived there were only few of the
"boys" present.
This did not suit Capt. ]. c.
Niche very much SO he sent out
several squads in different sections
OF the city with instructions to ar
rest and bring to the armory any
member they should find.
The squads went out and in a
short time were picking up one
man here and one there--some
were found on the streets, some at
home and others at homes Of their
best girls-but it made no differ
ence, for they had to come,
In a short time there was good
sized company at the armory, and
the drill then went on as usual.

RUNAWAY AND ACCIDENT.
Dave Lyon Thrown Against Tele
phone Pole and Hurt.

There was a runaway and acci
dent between here and East Dur.
ham yesterday afternoon that came
near resulting fatally.
Dave Lyon, colored, who drives
for A. D. Markham, was bringing
load of wood to Durham and
when just below the residence oi
Talbot Smith the wagon dropped
into a ditch and the wood struck
The horses which caused them to
run away.
The driver was thrown out be-
tween the horses and about the
same time the wagon struck a tele-
phone pole and Lyon was thrown
against the pole with considerable
force.
He was rendered unconscious by
the force of the blow he received
and some men who were passing
moved him to a store nearby and
DIR. A. M. Moore, colored, was
summoned to attend him. AT first
it was thought that he was hurt
internally but last night he was
resting very well and it is now
thought that he will recover.
There were two wounds on his
head each of which we're about an
inch long and cut to the bone.
After he regained consciousness
he was moved home.

iorts to no avail.

ONE MILE A WEEK.
An Incident in the Early Days Of the
Western North Carolina Road.

Western North Carolina Road.
When the Western North Caro-.
lima railroad was pushed through
the Blue Ridge mountains twenty
years ago, the construction was
carried on at both ends from Old
Fort, n. G., westward upon the
eastern side, and between the
Swannoa'gap and Asheville upon
the western side. As the work
progressed, an engine upon tine
western side became a necessity,
and the line upon the eastern side
nad I 9ply n reaehsa Henry's a small
suspend the work meant a long
delay. An engine must 60 out,
and the problem arose how to get
it ther. over the mountain. One
of the lightest engines on the line
was sent in as far as Henryis.
From there TO the rails on the
other side Of the gap it was three
and half miles, and all the way
up hill, 500 feet to the mile. The
track to tine top was bur roughly
graded. There we're bridges and
|culverts to build. -It was decided
to utilize the turnpike road. BY
means of short sections OF track,
the sections being taken up after
the engine had passed them, and
carried forward to be replaced for
further progress, it was regarded
as possible to effect the ascent.
As il was manifestly impossible
for any friction-wheeled engine to
carry itself up such a sharp grade,
| it would have to be dragged up BY
other means. A long line of oxen
was tried, but the plan failed
through the inability to obtain a
uniform pull from the team. There
was plenty Of power, but il could
not be made to harmonic. Finally
the large crew of convicts, by
whom the roads was being built,
was set to work. Ropes were run
forward upon which some zoc
men in striped clothes were set to
pulling. Others worked at the
wheels with pinchbars, while 9th.
ers stood ready with blocks oI
wood to Sc We as wedges behind
thee wheels, to hold every inch oI
ground that was gained. Almost
inch by inch, with long pull,
and a strong pull, and a pull Ito.
| gether," this forty tons Of dead en-,
gine was dragged up the mountair
at the rate Of a mile a week. Trains
have been showed in, broken dowr
and delayed so that the proges:
was slow. But it is doubtful if {
complete engine was ever kept il
motion day after day for thre,
weeks at a slower rate of move
ment than one-sixth OF mile pc

Prof. Eliot, Of Harvard, doubt
less is smart man and an exper-
fenced educator, but he will have
a hard job to make the laborers Of
the country believe that he is right
when he says: "The workingman
should be taught that higher pro-
tected industries mean lower
wages" A better teacher than the
learned professor; namely, practi-
cal experience, has taught the
workingmen the very opposite,

Houses for the Poor.

The city Of Glasgow, which is
probably the best managed muni-
cipality in the world, some years
ago bought at great cost a large
body Of land in the tenement dis
trict and erected substantial and
comfortable houses for the poor,
which are rented at price graded
according to the income Of the
workingman. 1t also erected large
warehouses where women were al.
lowed to wash their clothing, for a
few cents a day. These and Other
plans succeeded beyond expecta'
tion, and the city is now deriving
some revenue from its outlay

Flowers Made Of Bread.

The latest method Of M king ar
tihcial flowers is from fresh bakers
bread. The materials required are
wire, bread, coloring matter and
knowledge of the process, now
familiar to only a few persons. The
factory, the only one at present, is
in the west end of London, and
employs about one hundred ex-
pert hands. According to a well
known importer Of artificial flowers,
the novel method is likely to SUI
persede all others so far as flowers
to be worn on the corsoge are con-
cerned. Not only these bread
flowers look exactly like the real
article when freshly made, but as
the bread grows stale the flowers
assume slightly withered appear
ance, which is almost identical
with that Of natural flower be-
ginning to fade. OF course, this
faded appearance never becomes
very marked, being just sufficient
to overcome the unnaturally bright
and fresh appearance which is so
in the ordinary arti-
