Weathetiy Structure Marks Building Progress Here Distinct Advance On Type Of Construction Hitherto Prevailing In Wholesale Business Or Industry Section Of This City Probably this week will see com pleted the three story brick build ing of W. H. Weatherly & Company on South Water street, a building so different In type from the usual building for wholesale or factory purposes seen In Elizabeth City as to deserve more than passing men tion. The Weatherly tiulldlng is both store and factory. The first two floors afford office and storage room for the big wholesale grocery busi ness of the firm. On the third floor Is one of the biggest and most mo dern candy factories In North Caro lina, representing an Investment of thousands ot dollars In machinery alone. Three stories high, with a front age of eighty feet and a depth of one hundred feet, the Weatherly building does not base Its claim to distinction in the Elizabeth City wholesale business district on size. It Is the spacious wire-glass windows at both front and back, flooding every floor with light and affording complete ventilation, that first takes the eye. And then as one enters he is next struck with the solid, sub stantial structure ol the building throughout, rendering It practically as fireproof as anything short of ex clusive steel and concrete construc tion well can be. All partitions, for Instance, separating the offices from the storage space on the first floor are of steel and wire-glass construc tion, and the floor on second and third stories is two feet thick. The first floor is of concrete. The ele vator shaft is of fire-proof construc tion, and the fire doors to the shaft are so adjusted that, If these doors are Inadvertently left open and fire breaks out, the doors will close automatically when a certain tem perature Is reached. Fire doors'that close automatically also guard all stairway and office entrances. Further 'safeguards against Are are provided in three firehose con nections on the first floor and two on each of the other floors, and also In a complete chemical flrefightlng equipment. The fire hose can be connected with the city water sys tem or, If the pressure should chance, as It frequently does, to be low, with a 6,000 gallon water tank to be installed on the roof of the building. The tank on the roof, for which the firm will install its own pumping system, will not only serve as a protection against fire but will also come In quite handy when pres sure in the city mains is too low to give an adequate supply of water at faucets on the upper stories. As a final safeguard against fire all electric wiring passes through metal conduits, thus nowhere coming in contact with any Inflammable ma terial whatever. Ail this safeguard ing pays, should the firm never have a fire, through the low Insurance i rate that It makes the building en titled to. v Spaciousness Is the next impres 'lon made upon the chance visitor in j the building. On the first floor the (Celling has a sixteen foot pitch; on the second, a 12 foot pitch; and on 'the third, 'a 14 foot pitch. This 1 r"i r 1 nndant storage room to ' ' ' ' 1 of the Weatheriys, nl i i 1 growth in business vV ,. .' . If SEVEN WORKMEN KILLED Gravesend, England, Aug. 21 (By The Associated Press) Seven work men were killed and a hundred were injured this morning when a train crashed into the rear end of their work train standing at the station. CAPTURE REMAINING REBEL STRONGHOLDS Dublin, Aug. 21 (By The Associ ated Press) National army forces have captured Bandon and Dunman way, two of the remaining rebel strongholds in South Ireland, and the Irregulars are hastily retreating. for years and years to come. Sanitary cleanliness is the next Impression. Light and ventilation help toward this end; but the screen ed windows on every floor and, In the candy factory, the modern ma chinery and appliances which have been Installed in every department are even more Important factors. The screens in the wire glass win dows one does not detect at first glance. Indeed, the type of win dow, not opened by raising or low ering it but by swinging it from a perpendicular to a horizontal posi tion with half the window projecting Inside and half outside the building, would seem to preclude the use ot screens. But when the windows are opened one sees, at close range, that the screens are right there. To the casual visitor it is the candy factory on the third floor that Is most Interesting. This "depart ment has experienced rapid growth In the last few years and It is the one In which the firm takes great pride. New machinery that has been installed since the completion of the new building y? do a great part of the work that has heretofore been done by hand. Indeed the Weather lys are working toward eliminating the touching of their product by hu man hands until It reaches the con sumer. The progress already made toward that end forecasts complete success eventually. The former quarters of the W? H. Weatherly Company, next to Spence & Hollowell, are diagonally across the street from .The Advance Shop. Members of The Advance force were one day about to turn on the fire alarm when early one morning smoke was seen pouring from the windows of the candy factory on the third floor. But an employe of the Arm explained to anxious Inquiry that the smoke was coming from the not candy in the furnaces. In the new building all this smoke from the open furnaces and much of the heat are obviated. Directly over each furnace Is a hood connecting with an Metric suction pipe that carries both heat and smoke out of the building. Customers of the W. H. Weath er,y Company with trucks of their n may drive directly Into the h"Il(llng to have their trucks load-p(1- The Arm extends all Its custom ers and friends an Invitation to visit Bnd Inepect their new quarters In hlrh they are already doln busl-'.-. 7' -4 ::"'vrv::':,: ft , Justice Wm.

BLACKWELL MEMORIAL TO HAVE S. S. PICNIC A picnic at the Fair Grounds Fri day afternoon Is planned for all members of Blackwell Memorial Sunday school. This picnic will be I run on practically the same plan as was the Klwanls outing of last week. No one Is expected to carry lunch. Eats will he provided by a commit tee who will prepare hot dogs, lem onade and Ice cream in abundance. Frank Lee Traenkle, community play director, will have charge of the amusements and will have a play program In readiness for all who care to participate.

Superintendent Aydlett wishes It clearly understood that every mem ber of the Sunday school Is invited from the youngest to the oldest mem ber.

Special music at both morning and evening was rendered by the choir. WILL I'AVK SIDEWALK OX SOUTH WATER STREET The City Council has directed City Manager Kerebee to pave the side walk on the west side of South Wa ter street from Matthews street northward to the northern wall of the Coca Cola 'Bottling Works build ing. The paving will be four feet wide, leaving a space of about four feet between the paving and the curb. It is suggested, as the State highway crosses the Pasquotank River at a point opposite this paving, that Water street may ultimately be widened from Matthews street to Polndexter Creek bridge in order to give more room at the point where the State road leaves Water street. This Is one reason why some of the owners of the new buildings on South W'ater street do not favor a wider sidewalk. This oTder will provide paved side walk for the handsome new buildings Just erected between the Coca Cola plant and the Auto & Gas Engine Works building.
