All who are acquainted with mill equipments know that Nordyke & Marmon machinery stand at the top of the list. The work of installing the plant was under the personal supervision of iy0 A. H. Heathcote, one of the Nordyke & Alarm6ii 6omg COKipetlt foremen, as sisted by an able corps of machinists and carpenters. The machinery is run by a 2300, volt motor located in the basement, electricity being furnished by the city electric light plant. The capacity of the plant is 100-bbls per day and considering the superior equipments of best machinery and labor saving de vices, this mill should not only produce the very best flour, meal, etc, but should produce them at a very moderate cost. The machinery and equipments are distributed as follows: On the first floor are located 5 stands of 7x18 rolls for grind ing wheat; one pair of Esopos stones for grinding corn into table meal; one attrition mill for grinding feed; two flour packers; one corn meal packer and one feed packer: the necesary scales for weighing grain, flour, feed etc. On the second floor are located three midlings purifiers; one, exhaust fan; the flour and feed bins and the necesary line shafting. On the third floor are located one 6 section square sifter; one 4 section square shifter; one centref ugual reel; one bran duster; one feed duster; one corn meal bolt; one receiving separator; one double scourer for cleaning wheat and one machine for cleaning corn. In the attic are located three reliance dust collectors; one cyclone dust collector; the elevator heads and shafting, in the basement are located the elevator boots; grain bins for receiving grain; a conveyor for conveying grain from the cars and the line shafting. The mill is provided with 6 clutch couplings so that any part of the mill can be stopped without stopping the motor. The large wheat bins are located on the south side of the build ing extending through three floors and have a storage capacity of 10,000 bushels. S. hi Davis, one of the most enterprising business men of High Point is president of the company and Chas. L. Cranford, one of Asheboro's most successful young business men is sec-treas. j and general manager. CONDUCTOR DIES FROM SCALDS. W. H. Pickard H. O. Barker J. A. Withers B. C.

Engineer Steven Stog ner and the colored fireman, Jno. Maxey, are improving steadily and will recover. A freight train had just left Johnston Street station here as No- 19, Raleigh to Hamlet, when the accident occured. An inspec tion of the injured engine in the shops shows that the crown sheet blew out, turning volumes of steam into the fire box which emitted a mass of scalding steam to the cab where the three men were. Boarded Moving Train Result. With Uusual Hendersonville, Aug. 12. While attempting to board a passing freight train at Flat Rock today, Jerry King was in stantly killed. Almost the entire train passed over his body, which was horribly mangled. He was the son of a prominent farmer, 25 years old and unmarried. A King Who Left Home set the world to talking, but Paul Mathulka of Buffalo N.

T. Underwood's- next door to bank of Randolph. The recent death of Maj. Geo. E. Pickett, son of the great Con federate soldier of that name, who led the famous charge at Gettysburg, recalls a story told by the widow of Gen. Pickett and mother of Major Pickett, of her first and only meeting with Abraham Lincoln. It was the day following the abandonment of Richmond by the Confederate and when the Union army was in possession of the city. Mrs. Pickett was alone with her baby boy, her husband making the final stand with Lee and his rag ered and hungry veterans. It maybe needless to say that-the wife of the absent general was in no friendly frame of mind toward the conquerors, and her irritation was increased by see ing a body of negro cavalrymen sweeping past her house. The door opened and ' in step ped a tall figure in solemn black, wearing a high hat. "Is George in?" he said, without other word of introduction. It you mean Gen. George E. Pickett," answ ered Mrs Pickett, severely, "he is on duty in the army, " ' 'George has been a bad boy," continued the visitor, stretching out his long arms and taking the baby, who seemed to like him at first sight and cooed with pleasure in his pmbrace. Mrs. Pickett, still angry, could only utter, Sir!" "George has been a bad boy," added the visitor, giving the ba by a loss or two, to its great de light, and not to notice seeming ly. Mrs. Pickett's resentment. "He was the nephew of a dear friend of mine, and I had him appointed to West Point, but he has been a bad boy." Alter pause, while Mrs. Pickett listen ed speechless the visitor went on "But you can tell him when he e-ets back to come and see me in Washington, and I will take care of him." "Who are you?" asked Mrs PiMrptt.. still in mystery as to X Viv - her caller's identity.- "I am Abraham Lincoln," was the answer. "What!!,, exclaimed Mrs Pick- . i . r a i tt:i i ett, the president oi uie umieu States? . . . "That is what they can me, replied Mr. Lincoln. Then hand ing the baby Lack, he passed out, with the parting injunction: "Don't forget to tell George to call on me." The visitor departed. Mrs. Pickett noticed there was some thing m the Daoys nuie nsi. was a $50 Greenback. - v -W-V 1 1 A Mai. Georee Hi. JfiCKeix was NORTHERN PARTIES BUYS ORCH ARO IN WILKES.
