Great Blaze In New York.
An entire block in the business dis-
trick of White Plains New York we 8
destroyed by fire early last Thursday
with a loss of $700,000. Hundreds of
families were driven panic stricken
from their homes. For a time it look
ed as though a large portion of the
town would be burned out so swiftly
did the flames spread.
County Officers To Be Put
On Salaries
A Card of Thanks.
We wish to express our heart felt
thanks to *our friends, neighbors
everybody for the many acts of kindness
and the expressions of sympathy
bestowed upon us in the death Jof our
dear husband and father. May God
in his bounteous mercy amply reward
each one of you for these tOKens of
respect.
Mrs J. Y. Holt, and family.
A bill has been introduced in the
House of Representatives at Raleigh
to put the county officers upon a fixed
salerv. The measure after consulation
was recommended by both the Demo
crat and Republican county chairman.
The following basis was agreed upon.
Sheriff $2,000 per year Deputy $1,000
Register of Deeds $1,500 Deputy $600,
Clerk of the Cort $1,500 Treasure $900.
It strikes us that the amount fixed
lor the Sheriffs saleiy is hardly
commensurate with the responsibilities
he incurs, and they are numerous.
The collecting of taxes and care for
safely keeping a large sum of money
n items, is a g^eat responsibility, the
risk that may be incured to life and
limb in pursuing, and capturing al
classes of criminals, violating the law
in the country is an other matter of
and * serious concern. There are policemans
n large cities that receive more salery.
A Sheriff is liable in suite for any
mistakes his deputies makes.
Joseph Witlow, a volunteer fireman,
was instantly killed and an estimated
loss of $100,000, involving fifteen
different mercantile firms, ten of which
were totally wiped out, was sustained
in afire which started in Winston shortly
after 7:30 o’clock last Friday evening
and destroyed the old Farmer’s ware
house property running through from
Trade to Liberty streets, in the very
heart of the business section of the
city. The ten firms, which were comple
tely wiped out, were located^ ift
warehouse building. The other’s were
in adjoining buildings.
The Farmers’ warehouse building
was owned by R. W. and P. A. Gorrell
and Mrs. H. L. Riggins and was esti
mated to be worth about $20,000.
Insurance to the amount of about $4,-
000 was carried
Victims of Fire.
The firms completely burned out
were: Hancock Grocery Company,
stock valued at $18,000 and insured for
$15,000; Carolina Grocery Company, loss
$2,000, with 81,500 insurance; Garrett-
Glenn Company, stock of groceries
valued at $14,000, with $9,200 insurance
Smitherman & Stone Grocery Company

Georgia Train Bandils
Are Held For Court
George Anderson, alleged leader of
the band which on Saturday week held
up cJouthern passenger train No. 36
near Gainsville Ga., was committed to
jail there Friday last by Judge Sims in
default of $10,000 bail. Charlie Hun
ter, of Michigan, and James Hanford,
of Nebraska, other bandits who have
confessed their part in the robbery,
waived the preliminary examination.
Railway officials have wired the auth

two men held there as suspects.
Mutual Benefits.
We clip the following from a leading
Editorial in Sunday mornings Journal.
“There are also those in some com
munities, whose policy is to discredit
local conditions, to find fault with
everything possible in a city’s daily
life, and to consider that trade and
commercial competition consists in
pulling down character and reputation,
that to mount upward, to succeed in
business, is to do so upon the besmir
ched reputations of men who hive
been forced into failure, because of
unjust and untruthful commercial and
social treatment.
A community is only a big family,
where the relationship may not be
blood, but it should be a relationship
based upon a fractional sentiment that
i higher civilization, education and a
liberal Christianity can fasten upon a
people, making them truly citizens,
in the best sense of the word.'’
Must Have Fair Test.
President Taft has made it plain that
he will not be deterred from his deter
mination to call an extra session of
Congress to secure action on the
Canadian reciprocity agreement by
agreement by any vote which the Sen
ate may take on the question unless it
is plain to him that such vote is a real
test on the merits of the agreement
and not merely an attemp to avoid an
extra session.
Came Near A Serious Ac
cident.
Our clever Warehouse man Mr.
Murry Ferguson came near a serious
mishap Saturday night as he was re
turning from the home of s very dear-
dear friend in Caswell. On reaching
a point near Back Creek, some one
with a runaway horse dashed against
his duggy upsetting it and throwii^
him out. bruising him up pretty bad.
For a while it was thought he was ser
iously injured, he was confined in doore
for a few days. Murrys many fnends
were glad to see his smiling face on
the street Tuesday.
The House which did not hesitate to
aid forty-five million dollars to the
pension account of the Government,
for the sole benfit of camp-followers,
skulkers and deserters in the War be
tween the States, has for years per
sistently refused to appropriate a com
paratively nominal sum for the main
tenance of a retirement and pension
system for the brave men composing
the Life Saving Service, who day in
and day out risk health, limb and life
in the service of humanity and the
government. The explanation is not
far to seek. The former constitue a
political contingency of sufficient pro
portions to demand to be reckoned with.
The latter are not allowed to partici-
ate actively in politics; and even if
they were, are too few in number to
form an appreciable factor. Otherwise
Congress would long since have yielded
to political expediency what it pereisten-
tly denies to justice humanity and
even to the welfare of the service
itself.—Va Pilot.
