He has Just sent out the following: "Week after week the casualties re ported to the North Carolina Insur ance Department show signs of gross carelessness and add to the already far too long list of dead and Injured who have been sacrificed on the altar of negligence. Looming large among the causes for this carelessness Is the habit of using kerosene to start fires. In spite of warnings anc" cMatlons of the horrible results, people are still observing this reckless practice in many parts of Nosth Carolina, The following item Is takep fr'tru a recent Issue of one of the state papers: "A frame dwelling opposite the Southern depot at Advance. Davi» County, was burned this morning at 5:30 o'clock, and Mr and Mrs 11. R. Williams and Mr. Williams' aged moth er were prcbably fntally burned. Two email children , rescued, were not burned so badly. It is stated that Mr. Williams rose about 5:30 and was In the act of starting a fire with kero sene oil. Indications are that the oil was poured on the wood and'* match struck to light the fire when by some means the ean exploded, throwing oil on Mr Williams The flames spread over his clothing and In trying to ex tinguish them Mrs. Williams caught on Are. "The aged mother of Mr. Williams rushed to the bed and picked up her " little grandchild and in passing out cf the room her clothing became ig nited and she fell In a faint.

Kill Rat* and Save Food, ft; The flfiany economies being practised by North Carloina farmers to save all food possible is of no avail if he is to allow the rats and mice to make way with more food and feedstuffs than he can save by careful economy.

Triumph for Lioyd-Gjorge. When Premier .Lloyd-George cinne ! to reply to his critics In parliament ' concerning his advocacy of the inter- j allied war council, he gained a great j personal triumph and quite routed As quith and his followers. In the course of his speech he sald'the government i censed to fear the submarine menace, and that the only other thing that * could shutter the allies' hope of vic tory was lack of unity. That, he as serted, was now to he remedied. Next day, In the Anglo-American war council, the premier made his call for as many American troops as pos "slble, and said the easing of the posi tion of ilie allies depends ei\tlrejy on the dates on which the American pito griini of launching six millions of ship ping In 11I1H comes Into practical ef fect. He asserted that the-most dras tic food restrictions were about to be placed on the people of the British Isles, ami said he regarded the tight ening of the blockade as of next Im port a nee. Russia Ack« an Armistice. The Russian government—meaning the bolshevik! group In control of Pet rogrnd—on Wednesday instructed General Hukhonln, the commander In chief, to open negotiations for an arm istice with tlie commanders of the en emy nrtnies.

The kaiser Is reported already to have refused to treat concerning peace with any but the legalized suc cessors lo (lie government of the c/.nr or the constitutional assembly when II meets, but the way In which lie lias denuded his eastern line of troops shows he has no further fear of hostile action by the Hussions. Whether or not lie is Justified lu this attitude-is uncertain, for there come from Russia stories of violent protests against n separate pencp by the peo ple. and in some cases by the soldiers. General Kali-dint s, hot man of the Hon Cossacks, was reported to lie j nurrcljing toward Moscow, with a large army, and In n very roundabout way came the story that those troops laid J been turned over lotiralid I hike Nleh | nlus, cousin of the former czar.

MtClure made the moat powerful Indictment of German meth ods of waging war that ha* ever been Klven here. He showed conclusively that Germany and Germany alone was responsible for the present war; that ttiigland, under Lord Grey's leadership had done*# 11 that any nation could d 3 to keep the peace of Europe and that Americu could not do otherwise than throw In her lot with Kngland and France in helping to make the world safe for democracy. Perfect attention was given to Mr. MePlure for an hour and a half. d«»r sprite thft fact that large numbers wore forced to stand in the back of the room and In the gallery When he had closed the applause was tu multuous and, as the gath ered outskle the bul dloi ••» cheers were given for th>» s>«Hkar "If we had stayed out of this war, have been the ssddest of all Thanksgivings In our history," said Mr. McClure. "Now that W#« have gone In, this should be the gladdCVt Thanksgiving in our htstory." " Continuing he said it once seeitfrd so hopeless that we really would act, the war was so terrlblrt a thing; it la a terrible thing for oar boys to go over there, but It would be more ter rible not to go. •> In conclusion, the speaker declared that the creating of the uHon be tween Kngland and America and France was the greatest of all Ger man's achievements, the greatest event In modern history was the crea tion of tho union between these coun tries to preserve the decencies of life.

' The appeal sets out that a set of s mple rules already being observed to some extent and likely to be very generally put in operation has already given a large degree of relief with Tar greaterirellef promised when the rules become generally observed. All ship pers are urged to pufv.iase from the nearest markets, be prepared to store the largest car load deliveries; group orders to carload lots when a order Is not that much ; and promptly unload cars as they will s'md idle the least bit of time possible.
