Novel Building Project Suggested BY
Available Sites i'm Nortti Greensboro.

The very latest project now on foot
in Greensboro may sound chimerical
but with the men behind the scheme
n are going TO try it, there is at
least a prospect of their demonstrating
a valuable object lesson in onomt
Yesterday afternoon fifteen or twenty
gentlemen drove out to the Fisher Pork
property recently purchased by Sheriff
Jordan on both sides Of North Elm
street, for the purpose of selecting lots
On which to erect homes. In the par
ty were Judge r.. G.. Strudwick, John
n. Wilson, Andrew Joyner, r. H. Gam
well, G.. A. GrimsIey, NJ. w. Thomp-
son, DR.. j. S. Belts, DR.. E. r. Michaux
and others.
The plan is to found a colony of res
licences with a community of inter est
but an individuality of possession
One of the gentlemen speaking to a
Telegram reporter last night gave .he
following outline Of the plan:
We propose each mt to build a
home. Twenty Of lis will need but one
architect, who of course will charge
less for SO big a contract than he
would for twenty independent separate
ones. In this way there will be a va
riety of buildings. The same economy
will apply in giving a single contractor
an order for twenty houses, he being
in turn able to purchase his material
cheaper in large quantities: The sane
principle will holG good in the plumb
er's contract, it being reasonable to
suppose that in making a bid for a
contract on twenty houses a plumber
would figure closer on the chance of
getting it than ne would for a single
job for twenty different or inexperieac-
ed individuals. We propose instead OF
having furnaces IN every basement and
twenty different systems of heating
plant to have one central heating plant
to furnish heat and hot water for every
home like the big University settle
ments have, thereby saving an m
mense expense aid much trouble AMI
annoyance. In connection with this
central heating plan will be a Laundry
to do laundering for the community at
actual cost. Another plan is to have
a central stable and carriage house,
where those who desire to keep horses
can do so without the tremendous ex-
pense of waste in feed and patience by
having a trifing boy and a nuisance Of
a stable in each ones back lot. Inc
lots will be 75x15) feet and there is a
probability of having every home built
out of the cement or concrete stone
building blocks now being manufacture
ed by Mr.. Balm. 1t is not a visionary
scheme at all but practical and in keep
ing with modern methods in the COM
mercial and industrial world"
Who knows but these gentlemen will

ON BLIND TIGER HUNT

Sergeant Aldridge and Policeman
Weatherspoon, of me police department

terday afternoon and returned to lie
police station a snort while later with
twenty-five gallons of the tangle root
that get men into trouble. The raid
was made at the home of Ed Woo1y,
on Seminary street.
The whiskey seized was in five jugs
each of five gallon capacity. The u
fcers found one jug in the home of
Mr.. Woody and the other four were
found in an clubhouse on the premises.
Four of the jugs were filled and the
other two had something like two III
three gallons taken from it. The wllis-
key was unStamped-
On finding the whiskey the officers

taken to the Office of Chief Woo1ali
Immediately the United States govern
ment, through the United States Com

key be held by the city authorities
until such time as the government can
send a man here ID take charge.
Yesterday the officers were out on a
general search for whiskey and blind
tigers. Quite g number of places
were inspected and search made for the
stuff particularly In the restaurants AID

Woody was the only one that amounted

A SCARED G
How He Wa Broken of Drinking
Liquor.

The accommodating and JOWlal dray-
man, Jonas Daniels, had an exciting
experience the other day which was IN
itself very amusing to all who beheld
it, except the party of the first part,
but as he came out of the episode none
the worse he looks back at n affair
and laughs as mucn as anyone.
1t seems that he had been engaged
to move SOME household goods tor a
lady and while doing the work he lis
covered a half used bottle of whisky
from which he took a nip or two. The
lady saw him in the act but awaited
her time to reveal herself. Jonas was
in olissful ignorance that he had been
detected and was giving evidence OF
the enjoyment of the purioined liquor.
When the opportunity presented it
self the lady, porting to the bottle of
whiskey, said: Jonas, that bottle con-
tains deadly poison, l wish you would
take it down to the further end oil the
garden and bury it. | have no further
use for it."
Jonas looked at the woman then st
the bottle, then put on a look OF an
guish that was pitiful to witness IN
spite of the sport he was making. All,
excuse me for a minute madam, Sal1
the polite Jonas, II think | have for
gotten something When out OF sight
the old darky hiked as he had never
hiked before to the doctor and stated
that he had taken poison and wanted
relief he knew he would die and felt
the pains coming on which meant that
he was not long for this world" LanI,
doctor, I'm done for dis time boss. IN
done for dis time sure, de good Lawd
knows if I'd knowed it bin pizen i
never would nave put it to my lips. Oh,
Lawd save me and I'll never touch the
stuff again" The doctor, seeing that lie
did not show any real signs OF polsoa-
ing diagnosed thu case as a joke and
gave him a simple medicine to act as
an -antidote. The old man felt better
right soon and returned to his work
but he never will forget that drink OF
whiskey he swiped and the awful scare
he had OH account of it.-New Bern
Journal
