A Batter Dish Factory for
Willlamston
Messrs. O. B. and O. 11. Lay,
of the Lay St Balcom Manufactur
ing Co., of Port Alleghany, Pa.,
have been in town several days
this week prospecting. These
gentlemen are very favorably im
pressed with our town and want to
locale their plant here for the man
fact urance of butter dishes. They
have visited a number of other
towns, but prefer this on account
of the-close proximity to the raw
material. This materml. the sweet
and boll gum, is found in inex
haustible quantities in our swamps.
The chief difficulty in locating
this plant here is the freight rate.
There are factories in Elizabeth
City. Suffolk, and other points in
this viciuity that are making the
same product that these gentlemen
want to make, and in order to
compete with these plants they
must have freight rates in keeping
with them.
Looking to the location of this
plant in our town, the businessmen
held a meeting last night in the
Lotus Club rooms, where these
gentlemen were entertained, and
discussed the possibilities of secur
ing the plant. A site for the fac
tory was offered them, and a com
mittee was appointed to look into
the freight rates today and report
tonight to the business men in a
meeting to be held in the Club
rooms at eight o'clock, at which
time every business man of the
town,,whether a member of the
club or not. is, requested to. be
present.
The plat) of these gentlemen is
to contract with Mr. W. J. Francis,
who is now operating the Francis-
Eure Veneer Co., to furnish them
with a certain kind of veneer, and
in a quantity sufficient to run their
factory, thus relieving them of the
first handliug of the logs, and they
turn out the finished product. This
plan will keep Mr. Francis prettv
busy on their order alone. In ad
dition to the help employed by Mr.
Francis the factory will employ
from 40 to 50 other persons, princi
pally young women who will oper
ate the uiahines to sew the dishes.
This work, we understand, is light
and healthful, as well as remuner
ative.
Messrs. Lay have made a very
favorable impression upon out bus
iness men and every effort will be
made to secure for them rates that
will justify them in locating their
plant in Williamston.

Our readers remember that on
the first Monday several parties of
Jamesville made application to the
Board of County Commissioners
for liquor licence, and a restraining
order on the Board had been ob
tained by the anti saloon men of
Jamesville and was served on the
Board that morning.
This was the outcome of the
election held in Jamesville, and
which the anti-saloon men ciaim
to be illegal, and corrupt.

not yet been given.

IF King Edward VII. accepts the
gift of tbe Culllnan diamond
voted to blm by tbe Transvaal
legislature be will bau> a cos
aide ruble addition to make to his
crowu should be desire to Include
tbe geui In tbe collection be wears
npon his brow ou state occasions.
The British crown already
aver-thirty nine ounces, and the Ctil
iinau diamond, which I* the largest
in the world, weighs :!.>•_'l% en rata, or
about one and three-quarter pounds
avoirdupois. A crown that Veighs
over four pounds la not a very com
fortable thing to wear, even to show
off the finest diamond In nil. the world.
But King Kdward may well lie grati
fied by tbe actlou of tbe Transvaal
legislature in voting blm so valuable a
present. It was taken as a mark of
appreciation of tbe grant of repre
sentative government to tbe colony so
lately In revolt against British author
ity, and it Is well known that King
Kdward was strongly in favor of the
policy adopted toward the Transvaal
by the home government, Such a dis
position of tbe famous gem was warm
ly urged by Premier Botha, who led
tbe armies of the Boer republic during
part of tbe strife with the British. The
price to be paid for tbe diamond baa
not been disclosed, but It Is supposed
it will be about $750,000. Tbe owner
of the gem, the Premier Diamond com
pany, has been unable to sell It and is
willing to sccept payments extended
over a period of years so as not to
make tbe cost of tbe gift a burden
upon the already overtaxed people ol'
tbe Transvaal colony.
The Culllnan diamond was found
near Pretoria iu January, 11105. Cut
ting would probably reduce it aliout
one-half, but tile process would be
long and costly. In Its present shape
It measures four and a halt by two
and one-quarter Inches. When it was
shlp|ied to Rngluml an insurauce of
$2,300.000 was taken out ou It, but tbe
difficulty lu putting It to auy use com
mensurate with Its importance as the
largest diamond in the world bas de
creased its market value.
At just tbe time that the Culllnan
diamond bas coiue into promlueuce

try, but tbus far th*; most success has
attended the effort's' of, the diamond
hunters of the state of Arkansas,
where something like a real diamond
boom bas becu created. The precious
crystals for which men risk life aud
limb have been found In lit least one
locality In Arkansas—namely, ,\(ur
freesboro. Pike county, ♦he United
States geological survey has made a
re|H>rt on tbe subject, according to
which It appears that tbe gems found
occnr lu igneous rock similar to that
In the Houth African mines. The llrst
stones were found In August, I'.SKI, by
a fanner who was examining patches
of green dirt aud rock on his farm
with the Idea that possibly his land
contained copper deposits of value.
He picked up u pebble with a pecul
iar luster, sflpped it in Ills pocket and
later showed It to a geological friend,
who advised sending it to New York.
This was done, and the value of the
stone as a real diamond was thus as
certained. Since then there have been
many other finds In the same locality,
and drilling Is now in progress to de
termine the extent of the existence of
gems In the soil of the vicinity. It re
mains to be discovered whether val
uable stones can be found In sufficient
quantity to render It commercially
profitable to work mines for them.
When diamonds have been found In the
United States heretofore geologists
have explained the finds on the theory
that they were not Indigenous to the
soil, hut only migrations during the
glacial period from some far distant
locality. This does not apply to Arkan
sas, which is some hundred miles south
of the extreme limit.
A bunt for diamonds Is also being
made In Kentucky at tbe present time
under the auspices of General Samuel
Pearson, formerly of the Boer urmy.
Test excavations are being made In tbe
so called "bine ground" region of tbe
State, as tbe soil in this locality pre
sents a marked similarity to tbat of
