a remedy which cured him like magic.

engines, pumps and the like which
must be put in before the ground floor
stonework begins. Sometimes there is
delay In the delivery, so we start the
stonemasons In at some story above.
This Is easy enough. as all the loads
have been computed long before. Then,
again, the floor beams Of one story
may reach us sooner than those Of an
other, 50 we put the masons on that
story, or perhaps there Is much cary
ing to be done on a third story stone
coping and little on the second. So as
not to delay this we jump the stone
masons from the first to the third
story.
'You see" pursued the expert, 'the
plan, idealized, is to keep the stonema-
sons, houseSmiths and plumbers one
floor behind the ironworkers, the car
penters one floor behind these, the
plasterers one floor behind the car

would it be possible to erect a
twenty-four story building In the old
way Of brick and stone construction 7"
asked the reporter.
Possible, yes, but it would take so
long that in these days of quick for
tune building the proposition would be
commercially absurd. You can't as
semble a stone or a brick building.
You've got to start at your foundations
and raise your walls to your first floor
before You can put in your Orders and
beams, and so on to the top. Now, lay
ing stone IL a slow process. and by the
old method everything had to wait for
the masons and bricklayers Today we
don't have to wait for anything after
the caissons are sunk. We can keep all
hands busy, no matter how slowly an
individual part of the work may be
forced to progress. We can put on a
stone tower before we touch the stone
work of the sidewalk floor"
as an iron construction building
safer than one of stoneT'
"No, simply cheaper. but just as safe.
Another thing. too. saves time in mod
ern building, and that is the abundance
of available labor. An ironworker who
Ia capable of helping to rivet big bat
tleship together or assisting in tunnel
or subway or bridge construction Is
quite as much in his element when he
takes part In the assembling Of a
great building. This fact Of inter
changeable labor makes 1t possible to
work at the very top limit OF speed
when occasion requires. At the pres
emit time we have one building under
way on which we employ 1000 men
simultaneously.

James Anderson Loses His Life at
Gotten Gin.

James Anderson, son of DR.. j. M.
Anderson, who lives twelve miles
north of Tarboro, while attending
his fathers ginnery, was caught in
the belt and killed. He lived only a
few minutes, and spoke only few
words, attempting to explain the
accident. No one was in the room
at the time, so no one knows exactly
how it happened. Both legs and an
arm were crushed, and he received
internal injuries. 1t was great
shock to his parents, for James was
the oldest son, and attended to near
w all his fathers business.
The remains were inferred Tues.
day at Ebenezer Baptist Church,
Rev. G. T. Lumpkin conducting the
services.
We extend our sympathy to our
fellow-townsman, Mr.. John Lewis
cousin of deceased, and to al

"Mr. Clark said that when he was

say, that of all the representatives
of the different States, he believed
that North Carolina had the finest
body of young men in Congress. He
also said that it gave him genuine
pleasure to lecture in the district Of
William w. Kitchin, for he was one
of the greatest men there"

At his home in Lincolnton, N. c.,
on Sunday morning Oct. 81, Mr..
Herbert S. Hyman passed into the
world Of Spirits.
Mr.. Hyman's death was not sur
prise to his family and friends. He
had been a sufferer for some time
from locomotor ataxia.
He was born in Scotland Neck 46
years ago. In 1883. December 9Th
he was married to Miss Fannie Lamb
by Rev. Thomas B. Haughton in
Hamilton, N. c.; and he leaves
his wife, one daughter, and one son,
who is a fine looking young man,
and conductor on a railroad.
Mr.. Hyman was baptised by Rev.
Aristidos Smith, D. D. in Old Trim
ity Church, Scotland Neck, when he
was a young man. And he was
brought to be buried from this Old
Church. October 18th, 1907. After
the due rendering Of the Episcopal
burial service in the church and at
the grave, then he was laid to rest
with the solemn and beautiful burial
rites of the Masons.
Considering the inclemency of the
weather In the afternoon, and at the
time of the burial, the funeral was
we'll attended. The grave was over
spread with wreathes and crosses of
beautiful flowers, the blessed en-
blems of love, affection, immortal
ity.
Surely nothing could be more
touthing to the Christian mind and
heart, or could better bespeak the
generous soul, and the heartfelt SYM
pathy of men and women than to
stand in the cold chilling wind and
drizzling rain in perfect quietude as
our people did yesterday afternoon,
during the time it take to perform
the burial service.
