H. A. LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11,1911. FIRE WASTE. Our very efficient State Insu rance Commissioner, Hon. James R. Young, is very earnestly call ing the attention of the people of this State to the fire waste, which is one of the most important mat ters that they can consider. At his request the Governor desig nated last Monday as "Fire Pre vention Day' in this State, a day that was designated for that purpose by the Convention of Fire Marshals of America and the National Convention of Insu rance Commissioners. On that day all property own ers were urged to examine care fully their premises and see that all rubbish likely to cause a fire was removed. Especial atten tion was called to the import ance of examining their chim neys and flues and see that they are safe, for winter use. Re member the old saying that "An ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure," and.use "every precaution against fires during the coming winter. A most destruc tive conflagration can be, and of ten is, started by a cause that could have been so easily pre vented. Few persons are aware of the useless destruction caused by fires. It. is said that the loss by fire in this State is about $3,000, -000 a year and not one-half of it is covered by insurance. It is also said that three-fourths of this heavy loss could be prevent ed by the exercise of reasonable care. Not only hare fires de stroyed so much property, but the loss in human life is start ling. During the first nine months of this year seven teen persons have lost their lives by fire in this State. Commissioner Young is doing a great public service in calling attention to the fire waste in this State, and it is to be hoped that his words of warning and good advice will be heeded bv our people. past two years Major Hemphill has been editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and before that he was twenty years with the Charleston News & Courier. It is somewhat the irony of fate that Major Hemphill should become editor of the Charlotte Observer and reside in Mecilen burg county after having so fre quently denied the authenticity of the boasted Mecklenburg De claration of Independence, which is considered rank treason in that bailiwick.' His going there Is like "bearding the lion in his den," and our genial friend has our sincere sympathy. The low price of cotton is a se rious drawback to the prosperity of the South, and everybody in this section should be glad to join in any movement that will increase the price. The presi dent of the North Carolina Un ion (Dr. H. Q. Alexander) and the State Commissioner of Agri culture (Hon. William A. Gra ham) have united in a call for a conference at Raleigh on the 18th of this month (Wednesday of Fair week) as to the best method of selling the present crop so as to procure and main tain a price that will be remun erative to the producer. All persons are requested to at tend this conference who may be interested in the price of cotton While we hope the proposed con ference may be Of some benefit, yet past experience teaches us that the producers are allowed to have very little (if any) influence in fixing the price of cotton at what it may be sold- Not Rival Railroads. i . ..... From the News and Observer. Major W. Al Guthrie, of Dur- ; ham, and Vice-President John, L. Tull, of the Durham and Char lotte Railroad Company, were visitors to Raleigh yesterday on matters connected with that rail road. The Durham and Charlotte Railroad extends from Troy, in Montgomery county to -Gulf,5 in Chatham county, and ' is about fifty miles long. Being asked whether the proposed Raleigh and Charlotte would not parallel the Durham and Charlotte Mr. Tull said that if the route was made through Randolph county and Pittsboro, it would be at a distance from the Durham and Charlotte and would not be in competition with it- It is expect ed that the Durham and Char lotte Railroad will be continued to Durham and to Charlotte. HOOKWORM CASE CURED. When the; hookworm disease was first agitated most persons declared it was a humbug and derided the statements made by the hookworm specialists, but now most, nf the RfniTora Yia-ua Via. . - w u w w-k. 4. IV I V. come believers. Certainly the truth of the existence of such i disease is now generally admit ted, and many cures have been made by the doctors who have given special study to this dis ease. Dr. John A. Ferrell, the as sistant secretary of the North Carolina Board of Health, has recently published an account of a most remarkable cure to which we wisn to can the attention of our readers. Dr. Ferrell's state ment is as follows: "Seima Ellis, a Columbus coun ty boy sixteen years old, who lives near air Bluff, was brought in to the State and County Dispen sary juiy zatn on a stretcher. He was unable to sit im nr wait He had been in declining health for six years, unable to work or go to school. He weighed only sixty pounaer ana had an enor mous ulcer on his left leg. 'A microscopic examination verified the belief that he was a victim oi tfte severest type of hookworm infection. Treatment was Degun by Dr. Pridgen, but as he had to move his hospital. Dr. C. W. Stiles, Scientific Sec retary of the Hookworm Com mission, was prevailed to com plete the treatment at the Ma rine Hospital in Wilmington. Selma made a splendid re covery, can walk or run, and is now at his home in good health. pe jfainea impounds, now weigh ts 79 Pounds, and the quality of his blood has increased from 14 Per cent to 60 per cent of nor mal. He is an enthusiastic work er in the hookworm crusade, but is only one of the thousands who are finding restored health and Pleasure as a result of the paign." cam- Announcement is made that on the 1st of November Major J. C. Hemphill is to become the editor-in-chief of the Charlotte Observer, and upon this journal ism in thisf State is to be con gratulated, 'for Major Hemphill is one of the most distinguished editors in the South and we glad ly welcome him to his new phre of usefulness. For the The North Carolina State Board of Health is issuing week ly bulletins showing how human health may be protected and hu man life prolonged. A recent bulletin states that animals are said to live five times the num ber of years required to attain adult growth. For example, a horse is said to be grown when three years old and that on an average he lives to be fifteen years old. Accordingly all adult persons ought to live to be one hundred years old, because they are grown when 21 years old. Last week's bulletin states that about one-tenth of the ba bies born die before they are one year old, and that the annual loss to our State from prevent able diseases alone is not less than 14,000 lives. These figures are startling and should stimu late our people to use more care in preventing diseases that can easily be prevented. Burglar Shoots at Ladies. Monroe, N. C, Oct 9. This town is much excited over two housebreakings by negroes that occurred early Sunday morning in different parts of town. 5 ' - About 2 o'clock a negro broke into W. W. Horn's residence on Washington street and was ran sacking a bureau in the room of two young ladies, when one of them awoke. The electric light was on and the negro advanced towards the bed with a pistol and told her to keep quiet, or he would shoot. The other young woman awoke at this time and screamed. The negro fired his pistol two or three times and one of the young women was shot in the hand, but no other bullets took effect. A young man board ing at the house heard the scream and came out of his room with a revolver in time to see the negro running and shot at him, but the negro escaped- Suit Against Grand Juror. Fronr the Raleigh News and Observer. t Suit for the recovery af ahorse valued at $300 has been institut ed by Lassiter and Freeman against J. C. Chamblee, a mem ber of the Wake county grand jury, it being alleged it is under stood, that the horse was perma nently injured when Mr. Cham blee, ii company wit i three oth er members of the grand jury, drove out to inspect a convict camp last week. ' Raleigh may expect and pre pare for a very large crowd of visitors next week attending the State Fair. The attractions for the fair will be greater than ever before and will draw a record breaking crowd. The greatest inconvenience to which the visi tors will be subjected will be the want of adequate transportation to and from the fair grounds, and this is a most serious incon venience. While the street car company may do all it can, yet it cannot transport one-half of the crowd. It is to be greatly regretted that arrangements cannot be made for running spe cial trains from the Union sta tion to the fair grounds as was formerly done. It would be 'a great help if all special trains for the fair would .stop at the grounds and save passengers an extra trip. An inmate of the Soldiers Home at Raleigh died last week, who had perpetrated a cross fraud on that institution and his needy comrades. He had been supported at the Home for four years,; and was supposed to be a poor man, unable to provide for himself, but lo and behold after his death his will was found in which he gave way several thou sand dollars worth of property. He had no wife or child and was Monument to Revolutionary Heroes. Special to the Charlotte Observer. Concord, Oct. 9. An effort has been started here for tie pur pose of creating interest in and formulating plans for the erec tion of a monument to the mem ory of the Cabarrus Black Boys, a band of patriots of this county, who during the revolutionary war captured a British powder train, an act which for its dar ing and courage was not surpass ed throughout the conflict. Ballet Shot Into Car. Raleigh, Oct 5. As the South ern train due here from Golds boro at :30 o'clock yesterday was nearing the Raleigh station a 32-calibre bullet crashed through the window of a passen ger car xind inflicted a scalp wound on . A. 7 J. Thompson, of this city. Just, back of him was Hon. Ashley Horhe, of Clayton, chairman of the State building commission, and there were num bers of other well known people in the car. . No clue to the cul prit has been discovered. The force of the. ball . was well spent evidently before it struck the car window. Si nee, no one at all sus picious could be found near by it is thought probabi that the bul let was from a long range rifle and may not, have been intended for the train; at all- When you frave a bad cold you want the best medicine obtainable bo as to cure it with' ad little delay as possible.
