The Tar Heel plant was the
scene of a fire yesterday mora

readers witn tins issue a day
late in a bed ragled manner and
appearance, but we came out just
the same, though we have to
apologize for our appearance.
The fire originated on the third
floor of our plant and had gained
some head way before the flames
were discovered. When the fire
was discovered thr alarm was
turn in very promptly by Mr.
Louis Bell who happen to be
passing down Water street. The
department, headed by the act
ing chief Mayor Fearing soon
arrived on the scene with the
fire fighting apparatus; and some
of as good; fire fighting as has
been seen in this city in a long
time, was done to save the build
ing and those that adjoined it.
The flames were confined to the
third floor and were f inall v ex.

The situation looked very grave
for a while, and if croori fight

At present the origin of the
fire can not be determined since

ENDORSE PLAN TO
BUILD
ROAD
The Chamber of Commerce held a
meeting last Friday night for the
purpose of discussion the proposed
railroad from this city to Weeks
viHe.
Dr. Kellum and Mr. Johnson oil
Norfolk were present and presented
the matter to the chamber. These
gentlemen requested the chamber to
pass a resolution in endorsing the
movement to build this railroad. A
resolution was drawn up to that ef
fect and after considerable discus
sion it was passed.
The movement to build this rail
road has in the past created a great
deal of interest and it looked at one
time if the plans would materalize and
the road, to be built at an early date,
but since then, the movement seemed
to have lost interjBst and not much'
has been heard of it for several
months.
These gentlemen are making ef
forts to revivd interest in the move
ment and they believe that this is an
opportune time to perfec the plans to
