When the clock under the dragon strikes 12 tonig’it Mr. W. 8. Orr, who has been chief pf the fire department for six years, retires from office, and Mr. J. H. Wallace succeeds to the position of chief of Charlotte’s fire de partment. Chief Orr tendered his resignation several months ago, but at the request of the board of aldermen continued in service until October 1 as Mr. Wal lace was in poor health and then the water famine came on and Chief Orr’s wise counsel and wide experience was needed. Chief Orr has been at the head of the department for six years, and three months. ^ He has been a fireman in Charlotte, however, for 30 years. He entered the old volunteer fire com pany when he was 18 years ^d, and has fought fires in Charlotte every since. His record is phenomenal. Brave tp the point of recklessness, heroic, unfailingly faithful, devoted to his men and his work, alert, effi cient in every way—In short an ideal man for the job, he retires from ser vice with the love and respect of every man in the department, and the grateful appreciation of the city which he has served so faithfully. Ijnless an alarm rings in between this and midnight the chief and his horse—to which he is devotedb' at tached—made their last run together day before yesterday, to the house of Mr. J. E. Hill. In speaking of his leaving the service Chief Orr said to- ^ay: “I don’t know how a man feels when he is getting a divorce, but I Imagine he mus't feel like I do today. I feel as if I was'^)e>ing divorced from the folks I love next best to my wife and child. And that horse—it comes next to the boys with nw. It knows me almost as well as my wife does, and I love it. I am turning over the department to a splendid man. Mr. Wallace will ake an efficient and faith ful chief.” Chief Orr hat been Instant In season and out of season In his service for the city. Beside his record as fire chief, he wa% chief of police for 7 1-2 years, and previous to that served as alderman from Third Ward.
