Destroyed By Fire
Thursday Night
I-ate Thursday night about 11 ' i
clock, the building of the V. :"f<<? , > !
Terell Company, local who! sale ,
merchants, was completely destroyed!
by fire of unknown origin. Th i-re l,
damage is estimated at about ? ?'.000.00,
which was about t>U pe: cent !
covered by insurance.
When the fire was discovered it
had alrady burned through the real j
end of the building and -prsad t< - j
ward the lront so far that little
goods could be saved. By the time
the town was aroused and the fiie-j
men got on the scene, th fire had 1
gained such headway that saving the :
building was an impossibility.
For awhile, it looked like th W.
kee Hardware Co., othu* wholesale
M. Fain Grocery Co., and the CheVoe-tablishments
on either side, would
be burned also.
The Andrews fire department was j
called to the sc ne, and asked to'
| hold their fire truck in readiness to j
I he brought down also if needtd. All
; of the Andrews boys, extent about
three who wgre left to bring the truck
if called for, answered the call and
assisted in keeping the flames under
control.
Flans ate being made by officers
of the company to r. place the building.
In the meantime, offices and j
quarters have been opened up in the j
old roller mill building belonging t<: !
the company next to J. W. King'*
store, where business is being transacted
as usual.
A meeting of directors was held !
Wednesday morning, and a meeting
of stcokholde'rs is scheduled to be i
j held on next Tuesday. May 9th. j
j following the meeting of the stock- j
I holders, work on replacing the buildI
ing is expected to begin.
The VS ot-ford-Tirrell Company was
incorporated in 1912. It had been
j in business here mariy yiars prior
to its incorporation, and has been an
j asset to the people of the town and
section. During its existence it has
built up an enviable reputation as
wholesalers, and is perhaps the la'rg|
est single business establishment in
this entire section. Many of the
peoph of the town have expressed a
1 desire to see the building put back
and the company continue in business,
and this paper joins with others
in hoping that this will be done.
Officers of the company are: W.
G. Owenby, tfnsident; George C.
Mauney, secreatry-treasurer; J. W.
King, vice-president; who, with the
following, make up the board of

NICK GETS HIS
WORDS MIXED
The following is taken from "Dusting
Off The Solons" Column of The
Raleigh Times, and is self explanatory:
Nick Posey, ten-year-old House
p3ge, calls it "Dusting Off the Saloons"
and refused to believe Representative
Laurie McEache'm, of Hoke,
and Robert Grady Johnson, of Pender,
v>en they told him the word is
"solons" and not "saloons. Nick
who has visions of becoming a newspaper
reporter, is reading the papers
avidly these days and coming across
an item about the Hoke lawmaker in
the "Dusting off the Solons" column
. ^> ? a x?__
ne inougnt -nr. iucimvuciii .^um
know about it. Said Nick: "I saw
it in the "Dusting off tfye Saloons"
place in The Raleigh Times."
Newspaper reporters in the House
of Representatives had better look
to their laurels. They have a strong
rival in the person of Nick Posey,
pint-sixe page, who has appointed
himself reporter-at-large

Farm Residents
Raleigh, April 7?Relief work pro- !
j<cts throughout North Carolina in-;
voiving residents on x'arms will be |
suspended, effective Saturday, April
>, according to an announcement I
made today by the Governor's Of- !
fice of Relief.
This step is being taken in order
:<> enable all larm families to more
effectively devote their energies to
gardening and farming, the announce,
ment said. The suspension
is said to be a logical development of
the plan to require all pe'rsons living |
on the land to cultivate their own .
food and feedstuffs as a prerequisite
to further rtlief.
Memoranda to county relief diiectors
explaining the details of the
suspension program have already
been sent by I)r. Roy M. Brown,
technical supervisioV in the relief of-1
fice. The step was regarded as 1
necessary in order to emphasize to
the rural residents the fact that they
must forsake their present public
\ 1 eject.- and resume the work of providing
themselves with food.
The memoiandum pointed out that j
whenever it is found necessary di- i
rect relit f will be provided these j
farm residents until their farms and !
gaukns begin to produce their food, j
Meanwhile highway nifcinfter.ance
and other esseptial public wo'rjfcs will j
be carritd on uninterrupted by em- j
ploying non-farming people.

SMALL CROWD
Anticipat d throngs dwindled to
ess than three dozen pel sons her*
Monday morning at 12:01 o'clock
:o welcome the return of legalized
i-*e'r, absent from the town and State
For the past 25 years, ana sales were
le.-s than a hundied bottles. However,
a*hen business get under way in thmorning
sales during the day leach?d
a total of 4110 bottles in town for
the fgiist day, despite that fact that
the only two places in own silling
beer retailed it at 25c and 35c. Lat*r
in the day one place secured it at a
price to retail for 20c
Only one cafe in town and one
grocery store so far has been been
lic.nsed to seil. The cafe was open
at the hour it becatne legal, and it
was here that the few who were waiting
to welcome the return of beer
were gathered. Many of those who
planned to wait up until after midnight
became tired of waiting, went
out and bought something wtth a real
ick in it and went home. Bootleg
liquor was said to be selling in town
?*.: 25c a pint, the pfrice being lowert
d to meet the competition brought
about by legalized beer.. Oo disorderly
conduct of any kind was notet.
duct of any kind was noted.
Reb Phillips, who claims he bought
the last bottle of legalized beer sold
here 25 years ago. bought the fi'rst
bottle of the new 3.2. For the most
part, those who were on hand at the
strike of 12:01 o'clock were curious
waiting for the "first tfrink" many
of whom were disappointed in the
taste and kick.
Five placts in the county have
been licensed so far, two at Murphy
and three at Andrews. The license
for retailing is high and unusually
strict.
Two kinds of rt tail lieenst are
available. Off premis s, $10; on
premises. $15. This ;s the municipal
license. Either kind of county
license is $25.00, and state license
h $5.00, while the federal license is
$20.00, making off premises license
$80.00. and on premises $65.00.
The license for the state and municipality
have a progressive increase
clau.-e, inc'r asing by 10 percent of
the base with each additional license
granted. That is, the first license
from the state for on premises would
be $5, and the municipality $15. The
next license for another selling place
under the same management would
he $5.50 state, and $16.50 for municipality.
The state assises othe'r licenses
as follows: /Manufacturing. $500;
Bottling. $250; Wholesale, $150.
