LEXINGTON, N. C, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 12, 1916. VOL. XXXIV NO. 60. THE D1SP FIRE THKEATEXS DIXIE Tt ANT. Rlaxe Starts In Boiler Boom of riant No. 1, But Is Extinguished Without Damage. Only by the prompt arrival of the fire company and quick and accurate work by the employes of the factory was the Dixie furniture plant No. 1 saved from probable destruction Mon day just before noon. A blaze that started in dust collected in the top of the boiler room where the blow pipe enters bringing the dust, from the fac tory proper began to burn eagerly and in a few minutes would likely have turned into a disastrous conflagration. A breeze was blowing from the south west and. would quickly have carried the blaze in the direction of both fac tories and a number of box cars on the siding being loaded with furni ture. It will be recalled that eleven years ago, in May 1905, fire destroyed the ontire plant of the Dixie company and much surrounding property. This was probably the worst fire in the history of the town, and those who remembered it shuddered at the pros pect of a repetition. Democrats Endorse Vnrner. The Democratic executive commit tee of Davidson county in session at the court house Saturday afternoon unanimously passed resolutions hear tily endorsing Mr. H. B. Varner for the Democratic nomination for Con gress from the Seventh District. The resolutions embodied in the motion appear in another column.

Mr. Giles Explains Bead Situation Holding Up Hands of Commis sioners By IHving Aid. There have come! to the ears of the people of Tyro many stories of how some folks In other sections of the county have gotten the idea that the board of road commissioners have been partial to Tyro, and that our people are inclined to be greedy. I wish as best I may to correct this idea, which is entirely erroneous. Last week The Dispatch reported the proceedings of the road commis sioners, mentioning three roads to be built in Tyro. This should probably have been explained more fully at that time, and wquld have prevented misunderstanding on tne part or oth ers. Tyro was almost the last town ship in the county to come before the road commissioners and ask for roads. When our delegation went down we did not hold out empty hands, but we offered to meet the county funds half wav bv furnlsmVt teams and labor tm -of obarge jt&frs-wtent of ball the cost of construction. On the road from Tyro Academy to Ham McCrary's mail box on the Na tional Highway wo furnished 146 days of free labor with teams, which was is the most Important road leading "'"'". i""" ') , from Tyro to the National Highway,1, ,The Prsram was made up of reci and in fact It is traveled ten times asi,a''na- monologs and plays, together much as any other road leading from this section to 'he National Highway, for it is our best road to Lexington. Another road mentioned as authoriz ed to be built at once is that from Tyro to H. H. Hartley's and on that road we furnish more than ninety days free labor on only wo and a half miles of road. On the Tyro and Churchland road wo expect to furnish the same hearty co-oDcratton that wa urn irlvlner In liiillHIno- fho nthnr rnlili We realized that tho funds provided '""y. nml row a student at Wake for building roads was not enough to Forest.

W, MOUNTCASTLX, MRS. H. C DWELLS. GEN. WALSER OFFERED PLACE. Republican F:xecutive Committee Asks Lexington Man to Run for Attorney General. Former attorney general Zebulon Vance Walser, of Lexington, was plac ed on the Republican ticket for at torney general of North Carolina by the executive committee, in session at Greensboro Saturday, it is under stood that this action is in the nature of a tender of the nomination and it "is left open for ten days or more for his formal consent for his name to go on the ticket to be voted upon in the statewide primary of June :rd. Mr. Walser stated to The Dispatch i that he would be pleased to accept the ' nomination of the republicans if he could run as a Progressive, and he is I studying the primary law to see if this j could be done. General Walser had previously been mentioned repeatedly j as a candidate for governor on the I Republican-Progressive ticket, but lie is understood to have been more tie- sirous of the attorney general nomi- 1 j nation, as he had previously tilled the position under the fusion regime. It seems that the Republican lead-1 ers of the state are desiriotis of giving recognition of the Roosevelt senti ment, and anticipating that he will probably be the nominee at Chicago have offered an important place on the state ticket to the manager of the colonel in this state. General Walser expects to go this week to Oys-! ter Bay for a political conference with ! Colonel Roosevelt, and upon his re turn his mind will probably be fully made up as to what he will do in re- gard to the proffered nomination. In speaking of the nomination of j General Walser, the Greensboro News ' had the following to say in Sunday's paper, in its report of the meeting of the committee. "The offer of the candidacy for attorney general to Mr. Walser was one of the evidences of the presence of the olive branch. Mr. Walser is with a few others bearing the heaviest part of th Pro gressive machinery in the state. ; -cording to all indications. It was i - teresting, too, that in the meeting here vesterdav was the wvetarv nf i d hp(,7dI the Progressive committee, of which Walser is head. This was R. H. Bie secker, who is not only a Bull Mooser but a member of the Republican com mittee." State Chairman Frank Linney was nominated for governor and L. L.
