There a ere about BO in attendance at
12 'o'clock and the sale lasted, unit)
nearly 6 o'clock There was a certain
amount of the personal property of the-
company that had been attached for
debts and tbis waa first sold, bringir g
' The next proceeding and which took
nearly all tbe afternoon, waa the sel
ling of .the vast amount of machinery.
boilers tanks etc but aa the property
was afterwards put up for sale as a
whole, all this went for nothing;, and
veiy many fine 'bargains"! were only
in imagination, as the total bid was low
er than '.he aggregate smaller sales.
The roal estate consisting of ten aeres
ef land, buildings etc, together with ail
Content except the part .attached which
sold $1180, waa sold for $10,000, the
buyer being John S:ewart, presumably
for tho New Bern Banking and Trust
O mpany which held the. first mortgage
of $14,000 The timber lands lying in
Craven and Pamlico count its were then
sold and were, mainly bii in by A D
Ward Trustee, there being one or two
other buyers, an1 the lands brought
$2525 ' Finally all the properly: was
put up as a whole but as there was no
iotI bid above $13. 705 .the' aggregate
of tbe three salsa, these latter stand if
confirmed by the court. ;
' The history of the Carolina Pulp mill
has been most disastrous.: It is ; per
haps idU ti go into the details of tbe
smash, but the outcome is as follows;
there ware three : sets of mortgages oi
the property amounting to $28,000.
The holders of the fir it mortgage" pro
tected themselves by buying in the real
estate and buildings and equipment
for $10 000, tha face of the mortgage,
the second mortgage owned by Mr.
Wah of Kentucky of $10,000 laW,
and the third moitgage of $6,000 wss
protected by the local persons holding
jt by the buying in ot tbe timber lands
for $2&25. The various stockholders
' lost a 1 they put in. About $1C6,00Q in
stock wai feubacribed and a good del
sm bought by small investor! and this
I is peculiarly unfortunate. All the debit
. of the concern amounted to $50,0(0and
:; an inviting field oMnqiiry exiata aa to
: the financial operations. The property
- had been offered for sale and Its value
i estimated a high as $140,000. It is
thought, probable that tbe mill will
fioaily be reorganized and made a go
ing concern by the Duffy Interests who
now are in control. Tv '

National ! Biscuit Company- To
Make thia City a : ;
: It seem funny doesn't it? By rea
son of the very fad that Uaeetfe Bis
cuit baa been adopted into practically
every hom ia the eitf , it now becotnee
neceasaif to- establish H (a a teeel aosaa
of its own. ' That ia lust the) reason the
National Biscuit Company ia establish
ing an agancy in thia city.- lha de
mand for Unoeda Biscuit and its kind
red products of tbe baker's art baa in
creased to such ' an ' extent that
it Is no longer feasable to supply it ia
the usual way by diieet shipment to
the local dealers, Instead, an agency,
will be, establiahed in this city .at Na
13 Middle street under the. manage
ment of Mr. Chaa. Sartung it. '' --
There Ua logical reason for the pop
ularity of . Uneeda -Biscuit, lu intro
duction really marked a feed epoch. .
Until withla -a few years ta pwreh-
aeer f crackers or biscuit bad aa-cHatce
but to bay from an open box or barrel
ft they chanced to be cUaa when they
left the barrel, they were more or lew
broken by the time they had been car
ried home in a paper bag They were
stale or more so, depending on whether
the barrel bad been open one day or
many. - jV,- j'i.Y ;.;''
Such waa the condition of affaire
which the " National Biscuit . Company
determined to overcome, in tbe pro
duction of Uneeda' Biscuit made of
tbe beat material the world affords, by
methods of. baking that have been
brought to an exact science. Uneeda
Biscuit ia today the superlative of tbe
soda cracker, and the staff of life in a
million tiom.ee.
Quickly following Uneeda Biscuit
came' other delicloua products of the
baker's art, perfected in the - same
bakeries, -and protected ia the same
packages. Among these are theOy-
sterettee, Baronet Biscuit Graham
Ct ackers, Social Tea Biscuit, Zu Zo
Git get Snaps and others. All nave.
their crisp deliciousneee and purity aa
sured to the consumer ' by the trade
mark of the National Biscuit Company
on each end of the package.
Tbe new agency will be a convenience
and- advantage to deal and consumer
slike and under the able management
of Mr, Hortung will become a feature
of the commercial landscape, -r
