THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 6. 1956 THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina Man Burned To Death In Blaze At Addor Sunday A 48-yea>-old Negro man of Addor burned to death in his home early Sunday morning, ap parently after going to bed with a cigarette. Ralph Steed, Moore County coroner, identified the victim as Roy Matthews. He said that Mat thews’ father, Juby, who is in his middle 80’s, told him that his son came home drunk Saturday night and went to bed. Later, the elder Matthews said, his soil got up for some reason and returned to the .bed with a burning cigarette. In a short while, about 9:30 Sunday morn ing, the four-roomj dwelling was on fire but Matthews was unable to arouse his son. He told Steed he climbed out the window to save himself, as sisted by Mrs. Arthur Little, a neighbor who had discovered the (fixe and caused the Pinebluff Volunteer Fire Department to be notified. The fire department answered the call but was unable to save any of the building. The fire crew exhausted its supply of water and fire-fighting chemi cals and was unable to locate an other source of water near enough to the blaze to help. Many home fires are due to overload or short circuits, often between the walls of the home. flowers .. your most effective ■ bearer of good cheer tb the sick.
