GROUND BROKEN
FOR NEW ElKS HOME AND
OPERA HOUSE.
How It Was Done to Escape the
.'Hoodoo'' of Doing it on
Friday

Weaver & Mitchell were given the
contract for the brick work on the
Elks opera house and c. E. Philpot
secured the co nh/ct for making eX-
cavations, at the meeting Of the com
mttee Thursday afternoon.
The breaking of the ground Thurs
day afternoon marked another epoch
towards the success of the local order
of Elks in the building of their home
and opera house. 1t was an event not
anticipated beforehand. and was has
tened by the old superstition that
work commenced on Friday forebodes
nothing but i'll for the future.
The ceremony was gone through
with late in the afternoon. The build
ing committee, composed OF Messrs.
J. b. Trulock. H. |. Holderness and e.
c. Howell. and the architect and con
tractor, Messrs. r. II. Hunt and Fleet
Jones, had just wound up all the bus
mess preliminary to commencing con
structi0n work. All desired that the
work shojlld commence at once anG
as it was late in the afternoon, il was
natural that the work should com
meHee Friday morning. But Fleet
Zones would not have il SO. u Gncn
occurred to che eommmittee and the
other gentleman that the work ecul3
be started at once by breaking tho
ground. The suggestion met with ap-
pfOVal. and the party went to the site
III the meantime securing shovel.
Without the pOmp and ceremony U.S.
ually attending such events. the
ground was broken. Mr. j. B. Trulock
was the first to plant the shovel in
the terra firma and the other members
OF the committee and the contractor
and architect followed. until goodly
excavation had been made. The sim
pie ceremony was witnessed by
large crowd of spectators and a cam
era was brought into play while the
ceremony was in progress.
Today a force of men is at work
on the site, clearing it of Instructions
and making preparations for laying
the foundation. The rumor is now
current that the .knockers' hammers
will be used exclusively in the car
penter work.

Col. A. w. Shaffer, ex-post-
master of Raleigh, N. c., and a
man of prominence throughout
the State, lived for thirty-fv
years in Raleigh, and was a
resident of that place at the
time of his death last week.
But no one there or elsewhere.
not even his wife, knew his given
name. When Col. Shaffer was
appointed postmaster by Presi-
dent Harrison it was supposed.
of course, that he would give his
full name, when subscribing to
the oath of office, this being re-
by the government. The
Colonel, however, refused to do
so, and it was only after consi-
derable correspondence that he
was permitted to assume the Of
flee. No one knows why he was
so secretive about the NATTER
