Turpentine Handoffs, Drowning, and Rail Talks Across Early North Carolina
A Worcester style roundup notes turpentine workers en route to Goldsboro for holidays, a drowning of Willie Hill aboard the steamer Laura near the Neuse river, and the Fife-Schenck case ending in acquittal in Greensboro. Durham’s hose company moves to a brick firehouse with a tall tower, and Salisbury adopts the eight hour system with railroad master mechanics implementing it. Lexington approves $55,000 for a Roanoke and Southern Railway belt line, while Durham real estate changes hands as Duke buys land near Main street to pave depot access. Asheville hosts tobacco car routes, and Martin advances a street railway dispute, praised as evidence of nerve in public service.
