H ttUC OPINION GOT ACTION.
The director of 'the dry agents in
South Carolina refused' to 'suspend or
publicly censure the agents working
Tinder him who tired on tiro jioung'lad,-
tes from Asheville. The director also
refused to comment on the situation,
and as much as admitted that lie ap
proved the action of his assistants.
Sheriff Rector of Greenville County,
find citizens of Greenville would not
let the matter drop so easily, however.
Mass meetings at which resolutions of
protest were passes!, were held, and a
formal protest tiled with Commissioner
Haynes in Washington. And tic l com
missioner suspended the agents fur CO
days.
We hope the suspension will he a
lesson not only to the officers in South
Carolina but to officers everywhere.
The dry agents have a hard job. to lie
Bure. They have to do many things
that the average citizen would hesi
| tate to do, hut that doesn’t give them
la right to stop everyone they meet on
j|the road and to shoot at every auto
■bat doesn't stop when they command
mt to stop.
H Public opinion was incensed us the
ppetion of these officers, and when it is
■boused it always gets action. Corn-
Ufcissiioiier Haynes saw at a .glance that
tne people of South Carolina were prop
er ly disgusted at the action of the dry
Agents, and he acted in an effort to
satisfy the public.

GEORGE BURFELL DIES
IN BLAZE AT KINSTON
1,700 Bales of Cotton Burned When
Warehouse Goes Ip,—Loss SBOO,-
000.
Kinston. April 23.—George C. Bur
fell, sou of former Chief of Police
Burfell of Kinston,' perished in the
flames which destroyed a brick ware
house and 1,700 bales of cotton own
ed by the North Carolina Cotton
Growers’ Co-operative association, this
afternoon. Burfell. who was 22 years
old, was a volunteer fireman, engaged
in fighting the flames. A search
among the ruins for him after lie was
missed, following the fire, disclosed
his badly burned body.
The blaze was spectacular. Flames
were flaring across two streets when
the firemen, arrived. The blaze had
gained great headway before its dis
covery. Five frame dwellings broke,
into flames, while rooftop fires were,
started here and there by sparks. A
stiff wind fanned the flames.
*A failing wall, crashed into the I
home of Jesse Sugg, almost com-1
pletely covering his wife with debris, j
A heroic rescue was effected by tiro- :
men and bystanders. Mrs. Sugg was I
badly but not fatally hurt. Within 20 ,
minutes the blaze was Controlled.-
Firemen patrolled the district to deal
with incipient biazes. Street , ave
ments, trees and telephone poles were
ruined.
The cotton was the property of
co-operative farmers. It was va.Mcd
at $250,000 with insurance to al
most cover the loss, it is understood.
The origin of the fire was not deter
mined.

Good Example For Home People.
Old Jude. , a mule which gais her j
daily oats and hay tty putting back
empty tram cars in the quarry ot the
Arkansas Lime Co., lias been with
the company since it started opera
tions years ago and she knows tier
business. Tile cars run down to the
dump by gravity. A man dumps the
car, connects O'.d Jude with it. and
she hauls it back. In the quarry she
is relieved of her load and returns to
the dump pile. She d-oes this with
out a driver. In the morning she is
let out of the lot and she goes to the
kilms. When the bell rings to start
work she starts up the hill with the
men. When the be 1 rings for dinner
she ambles off down the hill again.
No one has to tell her to get otic of
the way of a blast. When they holler

“There are many positions that can

of this bureau and we shall lie glad I
if'you will apprise them of the fact!
iml purpose for which it was created. |
Its activities are not to be confined to
employment alone. We hope to lie i
helpful to the deaf in many other!
ways."

Musette, inc
i Mothers of Famous Men
The Mother of John Constable. •
Although he met with little or no
encouragement, from his mother, it wafj
\ Abe inheritance of eei-taln qualities of.
mind and character from her than eu
uhled John Constable, famous English
of the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth century, to succeed as an
artist.
From the first moment that he dem
onstrntt'd his ability and inclination!
to pa inf, the life of the youth was a
constant struggle, in which his will
i "as embattled against the combined
wills of lioth his parents. His fnth-,
er. a farmer, wanted- him to lie a.
farmer also. His mother, a typical
farmer’s wife, adhered to her tills-,
tland’s sentiments in the first place, and 1
viewed with alarm tendencies that she.
.felt would lead to .downfall. Being;
■an artist, she fell, was not respectable,
'and she was determined not to let her
- son tread the primrose path. Her will
j uas tremendously strong, and as . a
j rule when she made, up her mind to
| accomplish something; she accomtilish
| oil it.
However, one [fling she had not
1 reckoned with in her calculations: that'
j was the fact that When she bore her
I son John she endowed him with a
considerable share of tlie same indom
itable will. She would not have him a
; painter, and he would lie one. It was
j a struggle of Mills, and the boy won.
Occasionally she thought victory was
■ hers. After he hud studied etching in
j London for u time, his parents recall
i (si him to the farm, and he returned.
11 is mother «was pleased as Punch,
saying. "I li<>i>e you will not attend
jlo business, by which you Mill please
me and your father, and ensure your J
own respectability and comfort." How- I
ever, her triumph was shortlived, as j
John's return to the farm had been
chiefly for the purpose of gathering
new material for his paintiug.
