Start Gourt \rtioii | The apparent increase in the num ber of woods fires in this county is causing much concern among many I farmers, and a movement, looking j toward a greater protection against fire and prosecution of violators, is said to be gainirg momentum. Fires were raging in the woods lands of a number of counties in Eastern Carolina the early part of | this week, destroying property val ued in the thousands of dollars and enslaving those owners who will fall heir to the almost worthless lands in the future Reliable reports state that woods fires have been willfully and promis cously started in this county. ?and that carelessness has caused softie fires to spread to adjoining proper ties. No estimate on the recent loss is available in this county, but re ports clearly indicate that the dam age- is mounting over the last year figure's. Weather conditions, for the most part, have been inviting to fires and fire- wardens have been at a marked disadvantage- in confin ing them to small areas. Scattere*d fires were reported in the Hamilton area and a sizable fire was raging in Pitt County near the Martin boundary last week-end. Reports from a number of counties south of here state that forest fire smoke is filling the air and that in some areas travel proceeds under conditions de scribed as more or less dangerous. Raclizing the vast damage caused by woods fires and anxious to help check the costly practice, Don G. Matthews recently filed a suit against M. M. Mills in the superior court of this county. He is asking $500 dam ages alleged to have resulted when a fire, starting on the Lewis farm near the Roanoke River, burned its way to his land and damaged young pines. Attacking the problem from an educational angle, forestry officials have in only a comparatively few cases prosecuted violators of the forest fire laws, but it is apparent now that some action will have to be taken if woods fires are to be controlled. ? \iisw<t Filed Here In Poisoning Case An answer was filed in the super- ? lor court here this week in the Dink Page case charging the Colonial Stores. Incorporated, with selling smoked sausage allegedly unfit for human consumption. Page, a Kober sonvilie colored man, alleged in his complaint that he and all members of his family were stricken with ptomaine poison and had to have the services of a doctor after eating the sausage. Hi1 is asking $1,000 dam ,.gr> The defendant denies the allegtt tions, and points out that it km w nothing about the charges until fif ty days after the plaintiff claimed he purchased the meat on Decern- I ber 14. 1940. The defendant goes on ' in the answer to outline the condi- | tions under which its meat supply is purchased and handled. In fur ther answer, the defendant says that j even if there had been anything wrong with the meat, the plaintiff1 was negligent himself and that by his own negligence is entitled to nothing A similar case was heard in he ' courts of this county last December, the plaintiff recovering damages in the sum of $200.
