High Point Enterprise.
Col, A. L. Smith, of Charlotte, one
of the best all-round men In the State,
likeable and strong among men, and
a stockholder In one of High Point's
best manufacturing concerns, arrived
In the city last night and Is spending
the day at Hotel Klwood. ' Colonel
Smith Is chairman of the firs com
mission, la Charlotte and is intensely
Interested In all matters pertaining to
nres and fire fighting. Ha Is as the
darkles say, . monstrous proud" . of
his home department and does, not
hesitate to exploit their ability and
record work. In a conversation with
the colonel, ha let out some facts that
will be of Interest to High Point peo
ple. There were In Charlotte during
the month of Desomber 11 Art alarms.
The property at Jeopard amounted in
value to about $120,000, with an In
surance of 184,000,. and the total
losses covering; all those alarms was
only $10.60. It is small wonder
the colonel - brags. All this he at
tributes directly to the judicious use of
a chemical engine, water having been
used only once during; the last six
months. v ' -
Colonel Smith was Introduced to
Mayor Wrenn and was Impressing up
on his honer the importance and
need of Just such an apparatus for
use in High Point, where small fires
are liable to occur In the manufactur
ing plants. While the conversation
was on, the clang of the gong on the
hose wagon broke the outer stillness,
and Colonel Smith took to his heels
Just at nimbly as aid the home folks
who were owlish enough to be on
deck. He enjoyed the run if
there was no chance for High Point's
fire department to make a show
ing. Colonel Smith came In on the even
ing train over the Southern and had
the distinction of arriving In High
Point only 40 minutes late. He stat
ed that dozens of people rode stand
ing, as such a thing as getting seats
was all Impossible.
