NEW HANOVER LOST OVER $15,000 IN FOREST FIRES StMe Forester Compile Reports on Fires During 1916. The State Forester has issued the following bulletin relative to forest fire losses in this county during last year: "Reports on forest fires during 1916 for the various townships of New Han-, over county have been received and compiled by the State Forester. "Four correspondents have replied from three townships, who reported 10 fires which burned over 3,000 acres. It is estimated that the value of the merehantable timber destroyed was 53,500; and that 1.000 acres of young growth were burned over, valued at 510,150. Other products and improve ments, such as cordwood, lumber, eta, destroyed by these nres amounted to 52,000. It is estimated that 5100 was spent in efforts to extinguish these fires. The total estimated loss report ed from these fires was 515,700. . nf tViA nansA of these fires , A shows that one was caused by burning brush, and nine were or unknown ori gin. "The people .of New Hanover eounty cannot be indifferent to such losses, especially when those best informed upon the matter claim that most of these fires could have been prevented J-by proper, measures. "When it is reanzea mai ob oi me State's chief assets Is her forests and that many of her principal industries are dependent upon the products of these forests, the jeopardizing not only of our present timber supply but also of our future supplies becomes a very serious matter. The establishment of an effective system of forest fire patrol by the State would do much toward eliminating the waste; and, in view of the fact that fires do not recognize State or county lines, such a system should be under State supervision. It is hoped that the people of New Han over county will become aroused to this situation and see to it that their representatives in the next legislature are alive to the importance of this question." THE A TRICAL The largest musical" gaiety, "Very Good Eddie," will be' the attraction at the Academy of Music today, playing a matinee and night performance, and promises, from the interest already dis played in the engagement, to be one of the largest attended event of the theatrical year. The matinee prices will range from 50 cents to 51. The night prices will be from 50 cents to 51.50. Tickets are now selling at Elvington's for the both performances. "Mutt and Jeff Divorced." Delightful to the eye and entrancing to the ear are the song numbers of "Mutt and Jeff's Divorce," the new Bud Fisher comic cartoon musical comedy to be seen here at the Academy of Mu sic on next Tuesday, September 25th. The matinee prices will be 26 cents for children and 50 cents for adults to any seat in the theatre. The night prices will range from 50 cents to 51. Tick ets will go on sale Monday morning at Elvington's at 9 o'clock. Mitzi In "Pom-Pom." The buoyant and infectious music of "Pom-Pom" has been sung and phono graphed widely. Such principal num bers as "Pom-Pom," "Evelyn, Quit Your Develin," "Kiss Me," "In the Dark" and "Mon Desir" have become the hits of the times. Around the orig inal plot brought to Mr. Savage by Mitzi herself, Anne Caldwell, author of the brilliant "Chin-Chin,' wrote the merry book. The character of Paul ette who changes to the trousers and name of Pom-Pom when she is taken from the theatre stage to police head quarters in a wholesale raid by offi cers, brings a new Mitzi to the pub lic. The Pom-Pom" prices will be two dollars to fifty cents for the evening and one dollar and fifty cents to fifty cents at the special matinee. At the Royal. The most pleasing bill of the week was that presented by Armstron'ff Garden of Mirth Company at the Royal for the first time yesterday. The Armstrong Harmony Trio again demonstrated their ability to put over harmony songs in a manner never be fore seen at the Royal, and of course, scored another distinct hit. Carl Arm strong, always in blackface, had an other role that fit him to a "T" and kept the crowds in a continual uproar of laughter. The most novel feature of the whole bill, and there were many to be rec ommended, was a minstrel show in a minute and a half put on by the three comprising the Harmony Trio, and a part of their act. There was the open ing, the end men Jokes, the solos, the afterpiece, and all, and it took just a minute and a half for the complete "show." It's a novelty you should most certainly see today. Jackie Saunders at Grand. Jackie Saunders, the fascinating lit tle "tomboy of the screen," whose na tive combativeness is the theme of some of her best photoplay productions, is one o fthe prime favorites of the army and navy men in concentration camps and behind the firing line In France. Adveturousness is one of Miss Jack ie's principal assets. If there is a river to cross she had ra-ther swim it than walk over a bridge. Confronted with a plowed field when trying to reach a bit of good road in her motor car she took her machine over the rough breaking only to be confronted by a ditch on the far side. Promptly she improvised a military bridge and reaches the main road right side up. Miss Saunders 'latest production, "The Checkmate," affords her plenty of opportunity for the display of her adventurous disposition and her dex terity in handling a machine. She was a fine bird who wanted fine feathers. She got them at the price. Then she saved her sister from the same fate. Jackie plays her own twin sister. It is the big attraction at the Grand today. Blgr One at the Bijou It certainly is a whale of a bill for the week-end at the Bijou today. It's a bill the management absolutely guar antees to give satisfaction to every one, so great is the variety and so big the picture offerings on the bill for Saturday. "Backward Sons and Forward Daughters" Is the latest great whale of a two reel L-Ko scream starring Lucille Hutton and Billie Blevin. This title fits this funny L-Ko too. The backward son is driven from home by a female who tries to marry him, and. when he gets to the city he is still pursued. It's a roar. . Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran you know them appear in their latest Nestor scream. (By theway, Eddie was married last week and they say Lee Is all cut up over it.) Anyway, the title today is "Looking 'Em Over." Ed die is a live wire Lee a regular hus band. But Eddie induces Lee to break away for an evening. At a restaurant their wives come in with two other men. Disguised as waiters the boys hover around their table and keep their eyes and ears open. There are lively doings for a time when matters are satisfactorily explained. There is a solid reel of good fun, great comedy entertainment in this Nestor and you know how popular Eddie Lyons, Lee Moran and Edith Roberts are. That's enough. Current Events for today contains many big and Interesting things, as al ways. MR. G HERBERT SMITH SPEAKS Acme Red Cross Gives Entertainment In School House. (Special Star Correspondence.) Acn, N.

Over Three Quarters of Million Pounds at Rocky Mount In a Day. (Speoial Star Correspondence.) Rocky Mount, N. C, September 21. Over three quarters of a million pound of tobacco the largest sales in the history of the Rocky Mount market for one day were sold Tues day and the first considerable block sales of the season were encountered by the warehousemen. Similar conditions prevailed yester day, when as much or even more to bacco was sold, with every warehouse literally flooded with the golden weed, which sold at an average of from twenty-eight to twent-nine cents per. pound. The offerings consisted chiefly of tips, leaf and lugs. The offerings of wrappers is not so marked, and there is somewhat a scarcity of the high grades of tobaoco this season. There was a good offering of bright cut ters, but the primings are fast" dis appearing as the crop continues to come in. The farmers are beginning to bring in their tobacco rapidly now and block sales will most likely be the slogan of the local mairket for some time to come. The sales are getting larger each day and the prospects are that the sales on the Rocky Mount market for the season will be broken. The weed is selling at prices here tofore unknown to farmers in this sec tion and tobacco growers in this sec tion will have some heavy bank ac counts. DIES AT AGE OF R Mr. Macon Haddock.
