Co., of this city, it was learned the first of the week. The sum involved in the transaction for the. property, which is located in Charlotte, has not been learned, but it is understood that Mr. Coddington paid the Duke est.ce $60,000 for the property, and it is not remote but that a total of < $750,000 may have been paid by Mr, Cannon. Mr. Cannon, a son of the late -James W. Cannon, Carolina million aire and textile magnate, is a broth er of Charles A. Cannnon, president of the Cannon Mills, Inc., and a brother-in-law of Jack Brown, of this city. Charlotte, Feb. 9. —The palatial home and estate in Myers Park formerlv occupied by the late James B. Duke, and bought several years by the late C. C. Coddington, lias been sold to Martin L. Cannon/ president-treasurer of the Carolina ''lextile corporation and the David son cotton mills, according to the announcement last night by H. M. Victor, administrator of the Cod •dington estate. Neither officials of the estate nor G. G. Galloway, real estate operat or who handled t’*s transaction, would reveal the monetary consid eration involved. No announcement •f the price paid by Mr. Codding ton was ever made, but at that time it was generally reputed to be about $400,000. Those in close touch With the real estate 'situation in Charlotte last night advanced the ♦pinion that yesterday’s deal probab ly involved a half-billion dollars. Deal Completed The sale was understood to have been completed yesterday after short negotiations. The house, an ■immense structure of colonial type, located in the heart of what has been classed as one of the most beautiful city estates in the south, and which lies between Queens and Providence roads in Myers Park. The late power magnate pur chased the estate years ago from the late Z. V. Taylor, who was at ,that time president of the Southern Public Utilities company. The old house was remote and enlarged to its present imposing form. _ Duke Fountain On the estate is the famous Duke fountain, which the late Mr. Cod dington once offered the city if it would remove it to a park and op erate it. The heavy cost of removal and operation prevented parks, Chamber of Commerce and city of ficials from taking advantage of the offer. Mr. Cannon was out of the city k last night and could not be reached V for a statement regarding his plans, but it was understood that he would occupy the estate in the near fu ture. When questioned regarding what provision had been made for a home for the young sons of Mr. Codding ton, H. M'. Victor, president of the Union National bank which adminis ters the Coddington estate, said that nothing along this line had been <> your home without further costly re o , ■ o ]► pairs. You can buy a roofing that ♦ !► w m give you just such service for o about the same price you would pay J| it for an inferior roof. There is very J| j[ little, if any, difference in the cost, J[ o but a whole lot of difference in the ] <► ;i •it lasting qualities. * it . f \ Call Budd-Piper at any time for ♦ !> samples of the different kinds of roof- << o N ine and for estimates of the cost on J! o ♦ J[ your particular job. 1! j: ii i! | THE BUDD-PIPER ! | ROOFING CO. i! 1* <> 1 URHAM, N.

Do not enter traffic until your motor is running quietly and nor mally, with all starting aids and extra gas flow cut off. These rre cnanical aids to starting are strictly for starting and not for steady rr— nmg. Until you can v t them your car is not ready to move. Remember that too much pressure on the starter will wear your bat teries down. If you have trouble in starting your car in winter, ten chances to one something is wrong with your method. Consult your dealer or a good mechanic and see what bad habit you have formed. Too much gas or too little, at the wrong time, makes all the difference between getting away in good time and being stalled. 6 i a visitor in town last week. I Rev. G. C.
