How Churns and Jug Are Made.
There is rothing more wonderful
than transforming hard earth iulo
the vessels so much used, v:z: jugs,
ch-irns, crocks, :! nv-r pots, itc. They
are trade fro.u a very rare kiud of
clay absolutely free 'l:cm grit, and
are net made cvrr 2 rope, which is
the general suj position.
The clay is p!avd in a box and
water added uut:l it I twines very
hi j, then it is strained through a
i.ne wire strainer into a vat where
the water is b-iled out. leaving the
clay in a soft, compact state, the ob
ject of straining being to extract all
foreign tuatter. When ready to be
usei the clay U weighed out, so
much for different sized vessels,
then is kneaded on a board like
dough until perfectly even in flexi
bility. It is then ready for the
"turning board," a simple machine
consisting of a vertical rod with a
heavy balance wheel at the bottom
and a treddle attached to the rod,
bent so as to give the wheel motion.
On the upper end of the vertical rod
is the board which whirls round at
a rapid rate and smoothed and made
to appear like an upturned bowl.
By means of a lever the bottom is
made also the inside size of the ves
sel desired. Then by a movement
of the hands, one on the inside and
the other on the outside, the clay is
made to expand upward until the
proper height is obtained. When
near the top the t3nd is taken out of
the inside and th shape about the
top given from the outside. When
completed they a: e allowed to par
tia!;y dry. when iho handles are put
on. and then place J in a furuaee ar
ranged so the Caxe. smoke and leiX
pass directly ovor them. Here they
are subjected to such in'.ense heat
that tknt rook are crumbled to pieces
and the rock commonly known as
"negro head"' are melted.
Mr. Jx. 0. Broom said his father
on:e shot a rille at a vessel through
the heat, a distance of 0 feet, but the
bullet was melted before it reached
its target
The glaze is made on the vessels
by pouring sand through tubes from
the top of the furnace.

At i o'clock this afternoon, while
the union depot waiting room was
crowded with peop' for out going
trains, Henry 11. Powell, proprietor
of the Sanford Iun at Sanford, com
mitted suicide after shooting Chas.
II. Smith in the arm and attempting
to kill Puncan E. Mclver. All three
men came here this morning with a
delegation from Sanford to appear
before the Corporation Commission
in support of a petition for an addi
tional train between Raleigh and
Sanford.
Powell had been proprieter of the
Sanford Inn for many years, having
previously managed a well known
resort hotel near Southern Pines,
lie recently heard that Smith and
Mclver were planning to erect an
opposition hotel in Sanford and this
had been praying on his mind for
ten days, and this week one of the
friends who came with them to Ral
eigh warned Mclver that Powell's
mind was warped from brooding
over the rumor of a rival hotel and
had deep feeling against any one in
terested in such an enterprise.
When Powell saw Smith and Mc
lver enter the waiting room this af
ternoon, he beckoned to them and

To build a buggy that combines f iylc, comfort, finish and durability
has been our aim since the first conception of Piedmont Busies. Our fac
tory is located in the famous Piedmont section of North Carolina -the
best timbered section in this country; our machinery is of the latest
improved patterns; every man in our shop is a skilled mechanic, and every
inch of material used is curt fully selected and inspected by experts. These
are some of the conditions that ko to make Piedmont Busies the height of per
fection in buggy building.
We have studied cart fully the requirements of buggies in the South, and
endeavor to construct our Piedmont Buggies to meet these comlitions-they are
built in the South, by Southern people and for the Southern people.
Piedmont Buggies will give you better service,
last longer, and cost less to keep up.
