Bridge Connecting Stanly and Anson Now Local Ice Company Invites Inspection Some days ago a rumor was circa lated in Albemarle to the effect that the Albemarle Ice and Fuel Comp ny was using contaminated water for the manufacture of its ice. This re port spread like wildfire over the town and caused many of the company's cus tomers to become rather apprehensive as to the prudence of using the ice. The N'ews-Herald, realizing the im portance of this question, birth to the citizens of the town and to the locjl ice plant, made a pretty thorough in vestigation of the question, and after such investigation it appeared that the F STATE-WIDE INTEREST a Dead Certainty I ROCKWELL LOSE 10 SALISBURY! fice of State Highway Commission Digest of Happenings of Week Salisbury Game Was Played Un- uieanea trom the Tiles of j der the Handicap of Crip Our Exchanges. ; pIed Piayers DEBA SOLDIERS IS STILL ON U NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE Mobile, Ala., July 10.

He admitted that the water us ed in the manufacture of ice in this plant came from the town creek, but he insisted that it was purified before use and that the method would stand the acid test of the most careful and painstaking investigation on the part of both local and state authorities. The N'ews-Herald also interviewed Mayor Sikes, and upon such interview we were presented with the following communication: "As a number of questions have been asked me relative to the method used in the manufacture of ice in the Albemarle Coal and Ice Company, of Albemarle, N. C, I desire to publish the following sworn statement of Mr. Griffin, who is manager of the said Company: "The water is first heated to a temperature of 120 degrees hot, then fed to the steam boiler and boiled in to steam, the steam is carried back to the engine room and runs our entire machinery carried on tap of the house from there and condensed, then goes to the re-boiler and is boiled for one hour, then down to the coolers and the heat taken out down to 66 de crees, then strained through four layers of cloth and filtered through ground coke, then goes to the storage tank ready for the cans. The water is not handled by any pump, and only one place in the entire system is the water exposed to where you can see it. .No ice is made out of any other water but that which is handled thru this process, except as drawn direct from the ciy water tank. "J. B. Griffin, being duly sworn, says t he i3 manager of the Albemarle Coal & lee Company, at Albemarle, N.

"It appears this Congress seems bent on spending all of the money that can be raised by taxation. Why then should we expect a tidal wave of consternation to sweep the country if we pass a bill that will take two hundred millions of dollars two years from now and varying amounts there after and after thirty years no ap propriation whatever?" Senator McCumber read accounts of the proposed five hundred million dollar advance to railroads and declar ed "no one has been scared by that." Reading over a list of expenditures re quired under several pending measures such as the Townsend road bill and the Morris farm export bill, Senator McCumber asked "why hasn't the sec retary oi tne treasury looked upon these with concern?" "There is ample opportunity to re duce our expenditures enough to take Hamlet, July 10.

Developments leading to the truce were , divided between London and Dublin. In Dublin Eamonn De Va'.era Irish republican leader, and his nati onalist associates, renewed their con ference with the southern unionists. Earl Middleton, a unionist, who re cently conferred with the British min ister, read a letter from Mr. Lloyd George to the effect that hostilities must cease if negotiations looking to peace were to succeed. General Sir Nevil McReady, British military commander in Ireland, ap peared at the De Valera conference, and it was not many hours later that the announcement was made at the prime minister's official residence in London that in accordance with the premier's offer and Mr. De Valera's reply arrangements were going for ward for the cessation of hostilities at Monday noon.

T'.fis gen-leman also stated that the contract for the building of the bridge will he let at once with the under standing that it is to be pushed to completion as rapidly as labor and material can be secured. The bridge will be of the same kind as the one which is now being constructed over the Yadkin, connecting Stanly and Montgomery County, possibly the same design, and of solid concrete. It will not only be the most expensive but possibly the finest to span Rocky River any where. The following members constituted the party pass ing through Albemarle last Friday evening: William A. Hart, Tarboro; Frank. Page, Raleigh; J. Elwood Cox, High Point; W. C. Wilkinson, Charlotte; J. E. Cameron, Kinston; Chas. Upham, Raleigh; John McBee, Bakersville; W. A. McGirt, Wilmington; J. C.

The building of this bridge is re garded by many as one of the most important pieces of road work under taken, not only for the benefit of the traveling public generally, but espec ially will it mean much to Stanly and Anson counties.
