CAUGHT A BIG FISH.

On Friday OF last week while Ear
Spicer and Geo. Frousch, two small
boys of Alma, were fishing below tn e
bridge on Superior.st. they saw a
monstrous German carp in the stream
where they were. After a few unsuc.
cessful attempts they succeeded in
snagging the big fellow and bringing
him to land. The fish when weighed
tipped the scales at l7IS pounds. The
boys take three or four large fish hooks

stroyed the plant. However, in the
following spring w. s. Turck purchase ID
the site and rebuilt the mill on a more
modern plan.
In the fall OF the same year, A. w
Wright entered into partnership with
Mr' Turck, this partnership continuing
for six years, mutually beneftting the
company. In 1887 Mr.. Wright pur.
chased his partners interests, and has
since added much new machinery
and generally improved the plant. In
1898 new elevator was built with a
capacity for storing 10000 bushels of
wheat. The warehouse, constructed in
the same year, has a capacity for 4 900
barrels of flour.
In connection there is a cooper shop
where the barrels for taking care Of the
product are manufactured. The daily
output of these mills aggregate 300
barrels OF wheat flour and 100 barrels Of
rye and buckwheat flour. In addition
feed is ground and corn meal is a part
of the product while wheat grits for use
In preparing breakfast food is made.
The most popular brands Of flour put
out are known as the alma Patent"
Arcadia and Bakers" The larger
portion of the flour is exported, much OF
1t being used in the eastern states, some
being shipped to Europe, and yet the
same quality of -four is sold here for the
home trade at that that is shipped out
of the state.
The capacity Of the mills is too large
TO be supplied with the raw material by
the local trade and in consequence large
quantities have to be shipped in con.
tinousy. Excellent shipping facilities
are provided, both the A. A. and p. NJ.
roads furnishing an outlet to the eastern
trade. The working force at the mills
Is fifteen men, nearly all skilled labor.
Probably no mill in the state possesses
a better system Of both steam and water
power than the Alma Roller Mills. |
Pine River furnishes water, which runs
four immense wheels with 250 horse |
power, while a Corliss engine of 359 |
horse power has been found practicable |
since 1897. Mr.. +. G.. Scott is at present

Prof. Thomas f. Adkin, a wealthy resident of
Rochester, has truly created a sensation among
the medical fraternity. By some mysterious law
of nature he has done practically everything but
bring the dead to life, and doctors and scientists
who have witnessed his work are looking for him
to do this next In fact, they have been 50
taken back that they would not now be surprised

TO FIGHT THE SEABOARD MERGER
Mrs. Spencer of Georgia, Asks For
Receiver For r. & G. R. r..

An interesting suit has recently been
brought in the Superior Court of Wake
county. 1t is the case of Mrs. Ida T.
Spencer against the Raleigh and CASTOR
Railroad Company, and the Seaboard All
Line Railway. Mrs, Spencer resides IN
Georgia, and is the owner of the only
stock of the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad
Company now outstanding. At the meet
ing of the stockholders of the Raleigh
and CASTOR Railroad Company held in
Raleigh In May 101, she filed a protest
against the merger of the roads which
now constitute the Seaboard Air Line,
as she was not satisfied with the position
of the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad Con-
pany in respect to the merger. She OWLS
seven shares of stock in the company and
is the only stakeholder who opposes the
merger.
The object of the suit. in which com
plant will be shortly filed, is to declare
the merger and consolidation void, so far
as she is concerned, and to ask for an
accounting of the separate receipts and
disbursements of the Raleigh and CASTOR
Railroad Company. OF which she is still
a stakeholder, and for q receiver for that
corporation.
Mrs. Spencer is represented by Messrs.
Twiggs and Oliver. of Savannah, Ga,
Judge Thos. A. Jones. of Asheville, and
Messrs. Busbee, of this city.
