KITCHEN CABINET
ORCHESTRA TO MAKF
SECOND APPEARANCE
Announcement was made this
week by the management that the
Kitchen Cabinet Orchestra would
be rendered again Friday night Octo
her 2"r 1. at the auditorium. The
innounccment stated that quite a
number of request* had been made
for a re-showing, and on the night
that it appeared recently the weather
was rather inclement and a number
of people "did not gel to hear it.
Several new songs have been advc-d
and the orchestra procises to
even eclipes its first showing,
which made nuite a hit. It will also
he shown at Andrews on Monday
night following its second appearance
here.
It is expected that quite a large
rumber of people will avail them-j
.elves of the opportunity to hear it.
OVER 200 MILES TO BE LET
OCTOBER 13, 1925
Hid- will he opened on 207.j
miles of road work on next Tuesday!
:.t the office of the State Highway
commission in Raleigh. Proposals (
for paving 118.21 miles and forj
lading 89.44 miles will be opened!
?n that date. Bids are asked on a.
.umber of important links of the
State Highway System anil competition
is expected to be keen at
the letting.
Repidly increasing traffic on the
State Highway System of North
Carolina has made the maintenance
, of soil roads a problem on which con iderable
study has been given by
I . asrireers of the Highway Comi
mission. A partial solution has mcen
I found by giving an oil or tar treat;
ment to these roads. So far between (
! two and three hundred miles of so l j
j road have been treated and are
j giving very satisfactory results. The
I present program plans for the treat-^
ment of six hundred miles of soil |
roads in various sections of the State (
, and under widely varying condi-.
1tions
J The present system of treatment
is the outgrowth of experiments
which have been earned out on Long!
Island for the past eight or ten
years, the only difference being!
' that it has been found necessary in
North Carolina, due to soil condi- (
tions, to use tar and special asphalt:
mixtures instead of the oil.
The treatment is being applied at
very low cost and results in a surface
which is smooth, dustless and which
is skid proof in wet weather. Exam-(
pies of the treatment may be seen
between San ford and Carthage,,
Raleigh and Lillington, and between.
Fayetteville and F.lizabethtown. i
There will not be any preaching
ervices at the Methodist 1 church
next Sunday due to the absence of

ABERNATHY & FAIN
CO TO FLORIDA
TO SELL PATENT
Messrs. Poyd Abernathy, A. A.
Fain and Toby Fain left Monday
morning for Miami, Fla., to sell the
manufacturing rights of a Coca Cola
dispensing machine patent of which
R*as secured several years ago by
Boyd Abernathy. It is understood
that an attempt will be made to
market the manufacturing rights for
one million dollar?.
It will be remembered that several
years ago Boyd Abernathy patented
a Coca Cobl Di^noncintfr mnpKinn rtr.
panized a stock company and an attempt
was made at that time to put
it on the market.
Patents have been secured on a
more complete dispenser, which is
said to bo quite an improvement over
the old machine.
The machine can be placed upon the
street, and by dropping a nickle in
a slot a glass of Coca Cola is placed
before the buyer, already mixed and
ready for drinking. The mixing is
done so economically that not more
than several spoonfuls * afro wasted
from a barrel of syrup, it is stated*
