The Roanoke POST Of The
American Legion counts itself in
deed fortunate in that it has Sc
cured as principal speaker Of the
Armistice Day exercises which
will take place here on Novem-
ber 11th, Judge John H. Kerr, Of
War 4ehton.
Judge Kerr is well known to the
majority of the citizens of Hall

years the solicitor Of this district
in the Superior Court and it will
be a rare treat for these old
friends to have an opportunity OF
hearing him deliver one Of his
catchy and humorous addresses
here on the 11th. For those that
do not know the speaker they
have even a greater treat in store
for them inasmuch as he will in
his own way give them an address
| that will be interesting and in.
structive from start to finish.
Just where the speaking vii

CRANE, .W|1H LIFTING
POWER Of 300 TONS
.- tae& se
It Was Built at the Philadelphia
+ Ship Yard and Stands $50
Feet High
COST $4,000

Here is an account of a mighty
crane-said to be the largest in
the world-that has been built
for the .. S. navy department
at the Philadelphia shipbuilding
yard. It has a lifting capacity
Of $50 tons at a point so feet
from the tower md so tons at u
reach Of 100 feet. It stands 23O
feet high and rests on a substan-
tial pile foundation. The latter
alone cost $12O,OOO. The total
weight Of the steel tructure above
the foundation is 1000 tons and
it cost 1871, 900.
A concrete counterweight
weighing 314 tons is carried on
the floor Of the shorter arm Of
the cantilever section. On the
upper part Of this arm is built a
large two-story house for the
machinery. In this house which
is 200 feet above the dock are 85
horsepower motors for operating
the machinery There are also
gears, drums ETC., and a 35-tOn
crane which is ued for handling
the operating machinery.
The huge machine is so situa-
ted that it can be used to serve
two ship,outfitting basins. 1t
was designed specially to handle
bulky, heavy parts Of battleship<
lowering them aboard new ships
in the course Of construction and
lifting them out again when that
is necessary for making repairs
It has been found decidedly ad
vantageous to assemble the tur
rets and other heavy parts on the
dock and then lower them into
place on the dreadnaught. Wher
repairs are necessary it saves :
great deal Of time and trouble
simply to lift these parts out in
stead Of taking them apart and
carrying them out piecemeal.
The ponderous turrets Of ou1
biggest ships, with handling
rooms attached, can be handled
with comparative ease Ship
yards in England and in Ger
many have powerful cranes fo1
doing similar work but. none O
: them has a capacity equal to 'thi'

p. NJ. there was held in Weldon,
al the office Of Mr.. Geo. G. Green
Atty, very enthusiastic meet
inc Of the joint boards of County
Commissioners Of Northampton
and Halifax Counties to further
discuss the proposed bridge over
Roanoke River at Edwards Ferry
and to receive report OF commit
tee appointed at last meeting.
Mr.. S. A. Dunn, of Scotland Neck
reported as chairman and in a
brief speech told Of his interview
with the State Highway Commits
sion. quoting figures on bridge
approaches, etc. Il was estima
ted that the cost of the bridge
would be around 100000, taking
into consideration the reduced
cOst, Of labor, material, etc. Al
ter considerable discussion as to
the proportion Of the cost to paid
for by each County, by vote it
was decided toallot the cost pros
portion as the. taxable value Of
each county bore to the other.
1t was found that thes taxable
value of property in Northamp-
ton was twenty million and that
Of Halifax was fifty million max
ing the allotment to be paid by
Halifax $71.5OO and Northamp-
ton $2S. 500 This being decided
resolution was made by Mr. A.
Paul Kitchin that the two boards
90 on record as approving the
building Of the bridge provided
an assurance in writing could be
obtained from the State HighwNy
Commission that they would aid
construction as soon as funds
were available. This was approx
ed and w. H. T. Burgwyn OF
Northampton and Mr.. A. P. Kit
chen Of Scotland Neck were a
committee to call on the Com
mission at once to obtain this as
sura1A zee. The State Highway
Commission has already given
this assurance verbally, so it may
be practically stated as a fact
that the bridge will be built.

Slastic citizens from Northamp-
ton were present, those from
