A NEW coKINc PLANT


Raleigh, N. c., Jan. pa few days
ago four of the bar-room men Of Dur
ham put in what was called living
picture machincs-machlnes Of the
nickel-in- the-slot kind. In these ma
chimes were pictures of white women
in scmi-nudc condition, and one Of
them was placed in the colored side OF
saloon. The matter raised such q
howl that the saloon men decided to
take them out, and last night the ma
chimes were given place in the prop
erty rooms
But this Is not the only kind of slot
machines that are stirring matters up
here. The regular nickle-ln-the-slot
machine, which plays for money, Is The
subject of much bitter controversy
In one of the papers here a communi-
cation ~as published signed IAN Anxi-
Gus Mother" in which these machines
came in for Il scoring. The party Of
Tended came out in a communication
attacking the writer of the card and
making Il personal attack on the editor
of the paper. The affair has set the
town talking. and the end Is not yet.
Just what will be the result cannot
now be foretoid.
