SULPHUR FUMES
East Durham People Sue Virginia
Carolina Chemical Co.

The odiferous. blighting sulphuric
fumes that have recently been ascend
ing from the stacks OF the factory OF
the Virginia. Carolina Chemical Com
pany, in East Durham have caused a
number of damage suits to be filed
against this company. The residents
of East Durham claim that the fumes
are damaging to health and property.
The fumes originate from the use OF
nitric and sulphuric acid in the pre-
paratiol OF fertilizers. These fumes
destroy vegetation for considerable
area around the plant, descending
like blight, destroying garden crops,
devastating corn and cotton fields as
well as other vegetation. The fumes
also attack the human organs, es-
pecially the lungs, and make life I'M
pleasant in the immediate vicinity of
the plant.
Among those who have filed suits
are Earl Lynn, John Hayes. Sarah
Evans, Bessie Evans and L. C. MUIR
ray. These claims aggregate about
$4,000 and it is thought that there
will be a number of other suits filed.
Proceedings will also likely be be-
gun against the company for main
tanning an alleged nuisance, and the
company will be asked to devise some
method OF suppressing the fumes.
Similar difficulties have been ex-
perienced In other cities where the
fertilizer company operates plants.
Injunctions and suits were brought
against the company in Charlotte
about one year ago. but the company
finally devised some method OF sup
pressing the fumes and the matter
was dropped.

A force OF laborers are now at work

The road will branch from the

Seventh, or Broad. street with the
Main street line. The line will extend
from this point to the hospital and to
the country club located near the golf
links OF Mr.. John Sprunt Hill.
When the franchise was granted the
management OF the traction company
declared that the cars would be run
ming on the line in 80 days. This
promise will likely not be fulfilled.

several months from now. The de-
tails Of the schedule upon which the
cars are TO be operated have not been
worked out, but separate line OF
cars will likely be established from
