KNITTING MILL SALE.
Plant Is Bid OFF by Mr.. C. n. Carr at
Eight Thousand Dollars.

RANT is BID On Dy Mr. Z. N. carr AT
Eight Thousand Dollars
From Thursdays Daily.
The plant of the Goldsboro Knitting
Mill, that has been in the hands of a
receiver for some weeks, was sold at
public auction here today, as previ-
ously advertised, and was bid off to
Mr.. C. M. Carr, of Durham, for $S,000
this being the highest competitive
bid.
In addition to the $4,000 the receiv-
ers reported $1,000 in hand. which
virtually brought the sale up to $1,000.
This sale is subject to confirmation
by the court, and if confirmed, we are
authorized to say that the plant will
be operated by Mr.. Carr under the
name of Durham Knitting Mill No
81 as he already has four mills un-
der successful operation
1t seems to us that the plant
brought low figure, but as it was
fully and widely advertised to be sold
under auction today, prospectors had
ample opportunity to avail themselves
of the sale, and therefore, we pre-
sumo the sale will be confirmed by
the court, unless it be raised 10 pei
cent. in the meantime.
1t is satisfaction to know that
should the sale be confirmed to Mr.
Carr, he will himself take charge OF
the plant and become its resident
superintendent, which means that i;
will have successful career and
of inestimable benefit to the labor ele-
ment and business circles of Colds
boro.

No Part of Alligator for Which There

The man of science has been study

that every part is Of some value. A

commerce., even in a Chicago abattoir.
Take the teeth, for instance. They are
Of such fine ivory that they can be
made into watch charms and other
jewelry, for they have a much brighter
luster and are as rich in tint as the
best tusks that eve came out OF an
African elephants head. The teeth
alone are worth from two to four dol
lars a pound, according to size. Every
square inch of the hide makes a cover

a more attractive finish than most
