" Morning Paper - Almost Total
Loss Valued at '$100,000
About 50 Per cent Insurance
. -Carried.
, - Raleigh, April 24. Fire com
pletely gutted .the handsome
four-story building of The News
and Observer this evening, the
building and contents valued at
about $100,000, being almost
total loss with something like 50
per cent insurance protection
Hon, Josephus Daniels, Secre
tary of the United States Navy
is the principal owner of the
plant. The News and Observer
moved into this well-equipped
home in 1907.
' The mystery of its .origin has
not been cleared and in the ab
sence ,of any evidence stronger
the people 011 the paper have ac
cepted the theory that it begar
in the basement and shot up the
elevator shaft. Along with the
cities of Raleigh and Durham, the
force had deserted the building
and the blaze broke out with un
governable fury about ft o'clock
as the night shift was preparing
to come on.
The alarm was given but the
fire had taken the top floor. In
momcrit the smoke boiled from a
score of windows and the blaze
had wrapped the six linotypes in
a white heat. The firemen did
their best with a feeble pressure
and a stream that fell with woe
ful weakness upon the fiercest of
the flames. The men shifted their
positions and braved a glare that
literal')' made their clothes
smoKe, but tne water was no
match for the fire and in fifteen
minutes the employees of the pa
per had given up hope.
The loss cannot be estimated
in dollars alone. The six ma
chines were of the best type and
themselves total an investment of
nearly $25,000. "With" them went
a $10,000 stereotyping outfit and
the finest collection of newspaper
cuts in North Carolina. With
Ihem also went a large- amount
of recently acquired tvpe, ' per
hap8 $5,000 or more, and at this
hour an incomplete inventory of
the press room must leave the loss
to it at a figure not less than $5.-

"BRONCHO BILLY",
The World'a Most Popular Pho
toplayer at the Rose Tomorrow.
.Gilbert M. Anderson, noted
throughout the world as' "Bron
cho Billy," of the famous Esean
ay Western productions, is one
of the few now active picture
personalties, ditsinguished as ta
pioneer of the industry. As a na
tive of Arkansas, and a typical
specimen of the "show me" va
riety, he has rapidly grown into
prominence, and from his first
recognition in the Moving Pic
ture World, when through his ef
forts the first 1000 foot subject
was' released, until "the present
time, he has been recognized as
the peer of Western producers.
As an actor of remarkable ver
satility and masterful presence,
Mr. Andcr.-on has impressed the
picture public throughout the
world.- while his portrayal of the
now famous character he first
created, has won for "Broncho
Billy", a place in the minfls of all
who sec him, equal, to that of
those other famous Westerners,
"Buffalo Bill" ami "Kit Carson."
Years of experience gathered in
his boyhood, as a compunchcr
and horseman on the ranges of
the West, has supplied him with
that natural freedom and ease,
G. M. ANDERSON.
'Broncho Billy"' "Essanay."
which mark ?ach character he
portrays and his pleasing person
ality and cheerful disposition,
prcvclant in all of his character
izations has ganed him an mpcr
ishable popularity.
Mr. Anderson at present is in
the Western office of tire Essanay
Company at Niles, Calif., in
charge of the producing branch
performing a double duty in alos
playing the leads in each ."Bron
cho Billy" production. He is as
sisted by Mr. Arthur Mackley,
producer for the Hollywood, Cal.,
branch. He is now supplying
two Western productions each
week and the Essanay "cowboy"
pictures are circulating through
out the world. It is safely said
that more "Broncho Billy" pic
tures are used than any other
production on the market-' and
over 100 copies of this famous
brand are sold each week in the
United States alone.
Mr. Anderson began his re
markable career in the - picture
field about eight years ago,
when with his partner, George
K. Spoor, the Essanay Film Mfg.
Co was first started. .The first
Western picture was the product
of his. own originality and. from
that first picture portrayed of
cowboy life the name of "Bron
cho Billy" and the Essanay has
.sprung into world wie renown; '

The Enterprise would call
upon the business men of the
citv and every other citizen to
rally around the bond issues and
get them through by good ma
inritirs. We cannot afford to
j
Vt the citv remain two more
years without preparing for the
work that needs to be doac We
are building a nico city here and
the improvements are necessary.
It is the duty of every citizen
who cares for the future develop
ment of the city to .give the
measures their active support.
Our public improvements here
have done more in building the
city than everything else and we
should keen it up. On the other
hand suppose-the bonds should
fail do vou think it would be
a progresisve step to take? As
suredly not. It takes very liltlt
sometimes to nut a community
on a back track. Let every cit
izen get busv in support of the
bond issue. Vou cannot make
mistake by supporting the bonds
otherwise you might.

There is all kinds of nieanne
but the man who visited Ilk
Point recently should have
medal for vandalism, lie went
into several of the clothing store-
here, presumably to sell good
and before leaving, cut-up all the
rubber coats he could find by
making long slits in the back. His
work of vandalism was carried
on so shrewdly that it wa not
discovered until he had left
town.'

and H. A. Moffitt were all losers
by the cutting and they are niak

were slit in the back.

"Mother." This great two reel
feature is the best we have bad
f'.-r many months. The story is
about a young man who. goes
west leaving his. father and
mother alone. He writes them
telling of his great success on the
ranch, while in reality he is sink
ing lower and lower, and finally
becomes a horse thief to secure
nrbney enough to buy his mother
a Xmas present. After receiving
the letters of her son's success
the mother decides to visit him.
In the meantime the son has
been arrested for stealing horses
and about to be lynched. When
the mother arrives the sheriff and
others keep her son's disaster a
secret and let him out on parole.
also putting the sheriff's badge (
on his coat. After a short stay
the dear old mother goes back
home with a happy, heart, to tell
her husband of the son's great
success in the , west, while he
is justly Jealt with by the sheriff.
Every one should see this pic

Admission '5c to all. . '
,Dr. J. II. McCain came very
near losing his life this morning
at the railroad crossing near High
Point Hardwood Lumber Co. As
it was his automobile is a total
wreck and lie only saved him
self by jumping over the back of
his car.
It seems that he had been
waiting about 5 minutes for one
train to dear the crossing and
when this train passed he tried to
cross. He observed another train
moving nil him at close range.
He threw his machine into high
in order to come clear, even then
at a risk, when the car choked
down. Realizing that the train
was on him he jumped over the
rear of his car just-in time . to
save his life for in a few seconds
the train crashed into his car,
smashing it to pieces. If the top
of the ear had been up he could
iii.it have escaped.
It was truly a very narrow
escape.
