The contract for fitting up the A. & N.
C. Railroad offices in this city has been
let to Messrs. Porter & Godwin and
they assure Mr. Howland that the
changes will be made by the 15th of
October. In an interview this morning
with Mr. .Fred L. Merritt, private sec
retary to Mr. Howland, this correspond
ent was informed that when the pro
posed changes .in the new warehouse
have been made it will be admirably
fitted for railroad offices. It will con
tain seven large office rooms, each ar
ranged especially for the official who is
to occupy it. The .offices will be kept
comfortable in winter by a modern
heating plant that is to be installed and
I will be so arranged as to , admit the
greatest possible amount of ventilation
in summer.
The present spacious building will be
divided by an eight foot hall running
through the entire length of 200 feet.
On either side of the hall will be the
offices, one for President Howland and
one for his secretary, Mr. Merritt; one
for the treasurer, two for the traffic

To make these improvements It wW
be necessary to put down a new floor
over the present rough one. The (jell
ing and finishing will be done in North
Carolina pine. The large doors to the
warehouse as it now stands will be
partially bricked up and the upper part
of them converted into large double
windows. To make the changes, Mr.
Merritt said, will require some time
and quite an outlay of money, but when
they have been completed the A. & N.
C. Railroad will have such offices as
will enable It to conduct its business in
a business-like way.
When the reporter called this morn
ing Mr. Howland and his secretary had
their offices at one end of the freight
building. The surroundings were not in
keeping with those which a man worth
millions like Mr. Howland Is accus
tomed to occupy. They had a batch
of papers to Investigate, and the young
lady stenographer had a seat at a cheap
looking table on the rough floor, but
Mr. Howland is directing the move
ments of the old mullet with as much
ease as if he had been occupying an
upholstered arm chair in an office build
ing with more pretentious surround
ings. Mr. Howland said that he would keep
the "hotel at Morehead City open until
the 15th of October. This movement
is made at the request of a number of
Goldsboro people who wish to get their
children out of town during the epi
demic of diphtheria. He also said that
the fishing at the present time was bet
ter than at any time during the season
and there were between forty and fif
ty guests from Georgia now at the At
lantic. Mr. Merritt said he had given
an order for $1,000 worth of furniture
to a local furniture dealer to be used
in the new offices.

The Versatile Banana
(Public Ledge.-.)
New uses are being found for the ba
nanathat valuable plant which will
produce forty-four times much human
an acre of land as can be ob
tained from an equal area in the shape
of potatoes. ;
One of the latest novelties Is "bana
na coffee," which Is made by drying
the fruit and subjecting it to a, process
of roasting, after granulating it. It
tastes a good deal like real coffee, and
like many preparations of the kind
evolved from cereals is recommended
as devoid of harmfulness commonly at
tributed to the true coffee bean.
Another product put up by the same
concern is "banana figs." The fruit Is
cut into slices and put through a pro
cess which is yet a secret, though su
gar is employed incidentally the re
sult being a decidedly toothsome deli
cacy, not much like figs, but equally
far away from the ordinary banana.
It ls soiificlently palatable to deserve
popularity.
Yet another novelty in the same line
ls "banana raisins," as they are call
ed, which are appetizing bits of the
fruit prepared, by a different process,
with sugar. They are put up In boxes
and sold as a sweet meat.
In countries where the banana grows
it is highly valued as a vegetable for
cooking, being fried In slices or other
wise prepared: but in the LTnited States
(save in Florida) its availability for
culinary purposes is practically un
known. Of all fruits it is the most nu
tricious, containing as It does 27 per
cent of otaich. Many people consider
the fruit indigestible, but the probabil
ity is that it has this reputation be
cause people swallow it in chunks in
stead of chewing it properly, as they
would any other food.
