The conflagration in Paris again brings the Incontrovertible fact to publlo attention that a fire In a dis trict where shingle roots predomi nate can readily get beyond control, and when once under way the Are fighting at best can only narrow the path of the fire by flank attacks. The ease with which the conflagra tion spread through the brick-built mercantile district, although only moderately exposed by the rather thinly built residential section, also Illustrates the vulnerability of the normal mercantile section of the American city; the excellent protec tion furnished by wired glass windows and fire doors In the few cases where buildings were properly equipped with them show in what manner the ellml nation of the danger of spreading fires must be met. The lack of suffi cient water pressure prevented auto matic sprinklers from demonstrating their value, except In the One case where the intelligent uad of water In the tank prevented the destruction of the building.

Pennsylvania has the distinction of being the first state to enact the prin- cpile of the law recommended by the National Fire Prevention Association, enforcing personal responsibility for preventable fires. The bill passed by the legislature has been signed by the governor and is now In force. The statute provides that in addition to present penalties for arson, or pay ment of fines and penalties for the vio lation of lawws and ordinances, the person on whose property a fire oc curs, due to criminal intent, willful negligence, or failure to comply with the laws and ordinances, shall be liable to the municipality for the pay ment of all costs and expenses of the fire department In extinguishing the fire. These costs shall include the wages of the firemen, a reasonable amount of rental for the use of the apparatus, and the cost of the water and other materials used, with an ad ditional amount of 10 per cent of the total as supervisory or overhead charges, to be paid into the city treasury. A similar law has long been enforc ed in Germany, and has had much to do with the notably low loss ratio of that country. The same principle is now being enforced in New York City, wliere judgments have been secured for the cost of fire fighting where the fire was due to failure to comply with the requirements of the city fire pre' vention bureau. The state fire marsh als agree that three-fourths ot the fires are due to carelessness or lack of compliance with laws and ordinances The enforcement of such a law would greatly reduce the number' of prevent able fires, would impress upon the public the lesson of personal responsi bility, and should reduce and equalize the cost of maintaining fire depart ments.

Very little attention has been here tofore given to fire prevention either in the construction ot buildings or the prevention of fires, and a recent at tempt to create interest in these mat ters by the Georgia Fire Prevention Society was given a cold reception by citizens and city officials alike. The city had formerly had an anti-shingle root ordinance, but this was repealed after about two years and shingle roof limits cut down to a comparatively small area, and just a few weeks be fore the fire the area in which shingle roofs were prohibited was further re diced. Enforcement of any of the laws has not been evident for many years, although conditions are better in this respect at present. - The underlying conditions of poor construction which made such a ca tastrophe possible are generally pres ent to a large extent in the remaining part of the mercantile and dwelling districts and are considerably - more pronounced in some sections of the city which were not destroyed.

BRYAN GRIMES, Secretary of State of North Carolina, do hereby certify that the said corporation did, on the 9th day of May, 1916, file in my of fice a duly executed and attested con sent in writing to the dissolution of said corporation, executed by all the stockholders thereof, which said consent and, the record of the proceedings aforesaid are now on file in my said office as provided by law.

(Continued from Page One) been maltreated, except those whose terms are out, cannot be heard, ex cept that since the Court has been in Kinston it has received unsigned let ters appealing to the Court to do something to bd'.ter the conditions which are existing there. Each one was read fend promptly destroyed;. and one closed with the statement that it would mean fthe life of the writer if his identity were disclosed. "The defendant heard all the evi dence given against him. He has never gone on the stand and denied a single statement, notwithstanding the large number of beatings and the large number of licks struck, and the statement that one of a certain num ber, of convidts beaten died the same night. " "In Chapter 46, Section 30, of the Public-Local Laws of 1913, it is pro vided: 'That the board, of commis sioners of Lenoir county shall have the power to make such regulations and rules for the proper working of the roads of the county, not inconsis tent with the provisions of thi3 act or the general law of the State, as may be deemed necessary rul expedient, and any such rule or regu ation as may Ve adopted shil! bo published in the proceedings of the said board in the same manner that the 'other pro ceedings are generally published.' As far as appears to this Court, the fur thest that has been done in thaft di rection was a resolution, which was offered in evidence, practically leav ing to the superintendent of the roads the adoption of such rules and regu lations as he saw ft; and, as far as the Court recalls the evidence in this case, no rules published by anybody have been posted up for the notice of the convicts. Prisoners Beaten Unmercifully. "In addition to the method of whipping, to-wJt, that the prisoner was down on his knees, with a man on his neck, another on his feet, his bare back exposed, and whipped with a leather strap approximately 21-2 feet long, 2 1-2 inches wide and a quarter of an inch thick, it appears from the nndenied testimony thait one, under the agony "and pain of the blows, could riot coWtr61 his bow els; that what exuded therefrom was caused by the defendant to be got ten from the strap in a manner that the Court does not care to mention. "While nothing is further from its desire than to interfere with the suc cessful working of the roads and the convict system in this or any other county, the Court would deem itself guilty of absolute cowardice if it failed to do what, in its judgment, ought to be done to better the con ditions. Sentences Reduced. "The Court, after the appearance of the above evidence, has reduced 50 per cent, from road sentences put on prisoners at this term, and has done so in good faith, as it appears from the report of the grand jury, up to now not questioned, that, regardless of the weather, the convicts are made to eat their meals in the open air, "There is no use aJtteinpting surgical operation unless you go deep enough to remove tn'e'! trouble; all of us who have been to hospitals know that, whether it is' pleasant or unpleasant. I could see from Mr. Mincher's reply to Mr. Shaw a while ago that he ia a man of violent Kem per weighing 240 pounds. ! It may be that he may finally get out of it all; of course, I cannot say about that; but I only want to do exad'.ly what I understand to be my duty, be cause I made up my mind when I went on the bench that the first night I went to bed knowing that I had done a cowardly act on the bench I was going to resign. Up to now my conscience is without anjr, trouble about it I have had to do a few, but very few, unpleasant and drastic things; and, while it is sometimes unpleasant, I stand ready to meet any emergency that arises, but, of course, when I can't do that I will get off the bench and let somebody else do it that can. . "Tinder the law, as I understand it, in this counj y all prisoners convict ed in this county who were sent to the roads, were to be sent right back to where this man came from. I have Seen, during the course of this trial, that one or more of rthe com missioners have been doifigy what they could, in a proper way, to secure the acquittal of the defendant or o shield him as far as possible from punish ment, that is, unless my observation has been very much at fault I am not criticizing them for it, but I am just speaking of he Uet that it would be, In my judgment, a farce to send Mr. Mincher back to the ramp, because he would - then be working under the superintendent of the road force, who, by his own tes timony on the stand, has seen the beatings going on and has never at tempted to prevent it, as far as the evidence goes. I have not the pow er to send him to the roads in any other county. The necessity of the situation drives me to put him in jail and let the tax-payers take care uf him. "The judgment of the Court is that the defendant be confined in the county jail for the term of 12 months, no. to be worked on the roads." As stated in Saturday's Free Press, the case was appealed to the Cupreme Court, and the defendant is at lib erty under a $1,500 bond. HEALTH j Post-Graduate Work for Doctors. To bring post-graduate medical in struction to the doors of North Car olina doctors is a new but practical plan recently worked out by the Uni versity of North Carolina and 'the State Board of Health, in the inter est of the physicians of this State The plan in general is to put within financial and physical reach of the general practitioner the means whereby he may become acquainted with the latest and best methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases and know the latest advances made in scientific medicine, and mean while stay in his practice. This can be done, according 'to the Universi ty authorities, by bringing the in structor to the physicians instead of the reverse, which vhas proven almost impossible for the average physician. For the sum of $30 a member, which is less than one-twelfth of wha't it would cost a physician to take even a summer course at some distant school, to say nothing of the prac tice he would permanently lose meanwhile to his competitors, the University has arranged a class of post-graduate study to start June 6 with seventy on more doctors as mem bers. This first class, which is a course in diseases of children, will embrace sections in the towns of Raleigh, Weldon, Tariboro, Wilson, Goldsboro and Selma. On Mondays, beginning Jun fifth, the lecturer or instructor will meet his class in Raleigh on Tuesdays,' in Weldon; on Wednes days, in Tarboro: on Thursdays, in Wilson; on Fridays, in Goldsboro, and on Saturdays, in Selma. At each place he will give a one-hour lec hire followed by a two-hour clinic, and the class will be continued lor seventeen weeks, closing September 23. Propen academic credits will be given the physicians who attend 85 per cent of the lectures and clinics by the University. Dr. Louis Webb Hill of Boston, who will be ilhe instructor of the class, is eminently fitted for his po sition. He is a graduate of Harvard University and an honor graduate of Harvard University Medical School. He has given senvice in the Massa chusetts General Hospital, in the Floating Hospital, in the Children's Hospkal, and has had charge of one of the Boston Milk and Baby Hy giene Stations. He is at present as sistant to Dr. Morse in the Out-Pa-tient 'Department of the Children's Hospital in Boston. Dr. Hill is the author of a small book on diabetes, and a number of important papers on scientific medicine. Just recent ly he has written a book on labora tory methods in the diagnosis of dis eases of children, which will soon be from the press.
