SAVING TIME
y-r-.
If
is an important element in saving money.
People who have nothing ahead waste a great
deal of time trying to meet their obligations.
Those who have a balance on a checking account
and possibly also a line of credit in this strong Bank
are able to spend ALL of their time MAKING money
and the meeting of current obligations then easily
takes care of itself.
Have YOU an account here for 19010 ?

"Time "fiavinj; Schedule, j
Beginning Sunday, 1910,- greatly, im
proved and new time-saving schedules
will be Inaugurated by the Norfolk k
Southern Railway, when all trains : will
be operated over the magbificent-new
s,uuu-iooi Driage, spanning we Dtuii
fut and placid Albemarle Sound, be
tween historic Edentoh, N. C, and
Mackev'a Ferrr. This the dream of the
Dioneer managers of the Norfolk" A

lina is realized in the connecting pof

millfon dollar structore; ' f - -'
Fol vearanaaaenirer and freiffhti cars
have been transferred back and fWtb'
ltween Edentoh and Mackey 'a ,ery 1
by the faithful old steamer "Jonn w.
Garrett"; which now gives place to the1
longest continuous bridge across navig
able waters in the' world. ' - "
The time required for a passenger
train to pass over the bridge is only
twenty eight, ('ii.t
one Hour and thirty two minutes. ! Eyeh
a greater saving is accomplished m the
movement of freight trainr Forty 40)
minutes is consumed by a' sixty (60)
car freight train in passing from' bank
to bank an actual saving of eight (8)
hours and twenty minutes, representing
in many cases 4 whole day's earlier 'de
livery. '
F ur million feet of lumber; tine thous
and car loads of cypress piles; two hund
red and fifty carloads of steel and a
trainload of spikes and bolts were re
quired in the construction of this over
head railway. . The piles are all in ' ex-
of seventy feet in length, the long
est being ninety five feet. ' Tnese' piles
are driven at a slight angle into the bed
of the Sound forty id sixty flva feet,
braced and bound firmly together at the
top No other f act is . needed to give
assurance as to the Stability of the
structure. At high tide tha deck of the
bridge is thirteen" feet two inches above
this waver. 1 1
There are two large draw arid five
smaller gas boat spans, in the bridge.
At tha Scherzer Roller Lift draw, there
is one hundred and forty feet open 'space
and at the swing draw, there is a clear
ance of thirty five feet on each aidevf
the awing. ' " ' -
Albemarle Sound, contrary to the
general impression, is shallow; as placid
as a mill-pond, and far enough south to
b' free from dangerous ice-floes.-
The completion of the Albemarle
Sound bridge marks a , new era, in the
commercial and Industrial development
of that section ef North Carolina served

First Shoots a Jeweler. Failed to
Get Loot, Hard Pressed"
Then Suicides.
Nsw York, Jan. 32. Frederick Boett-
cher, a Brooklyn jeweler, was Band
bagged and fatally shot in his store.late
last afternoon by an unknown man who
ended his life by taking a capsule of
carbolic acid before he could be locked
up. Buettchar identified his assailant as
a man who came to his store not long
ago and looked at some diamond rings
It was on this plea that the stranger
entered today presumably with the in
tent of robbery.
When "the jeweler started to come
from behind the counter, the stranger
pulled a chamois bag filled with sand
and shot from his coat pocket and struck
him a crashing blow on the head As
Boettcher reeled the mao fired, the ball
taking effect behind the jeweler's ear.
The shot broi(rht Mrs. Boettcher down
.f frotn'heY apartments over the store and
the man fled; leaving one revolver in
the store and throwing another away as
he ran along thu street.
f Sard pressed by the police, who had
bMn attracted by Mrs. Boettoher's cry,
the would-be robber was seen to raise
his hand to his lips and swallow hasti
ly: In a moment more he was under
arrest and though apparently suffering
he walked back to the store where
Boettcher identified him as his assail
ant. The prisoner was taken to the police
station , and preparations were being
made to search him. He collapsed and
died before medical assistance could be
summoned. Examination by a surgeon
later showed beyond doubt that he had
swallowed carbolic acid in capsule form.
- Nothing was found on the rain to in
dicate his Identity. His attempt at
robbery was a complete failure.
