Stler Fire Protection
in Schools.
In a pamphlet just issued by the
Insurance Commissioner, he seys:
LET U? CONTINUE TO ERMCT SCHOOL
BUILDINGS, BUT NOT OF THE
j'BUILT To BUeN" CHARAOTBB.
in America we bum twelve
school houses and two colleges ev
ery week. In tlie United States, a
firae occurs every day in some
school. The loss of life is great,
while the loss of prdperty amounts
to several hundred, thousand dol
lars. The American ueople have
given less thought to the protect
ion of schools and their precious
conteuts than has been given to
manufacturing plants and buildings
in general. Frequently the lives
of our children are saved simply
because the fire occurs while the
school is not in session.
The above statement contains
warnings for us here in North
Chmlina. We are in the midst of
a great educational uplift and ad
vance. We are building an uu
usually large number of school
buildings and collecting in them
our children and their teachers.
We are looking after the ^appear
ance* of these buildings and then
adaptability to teaching, but pay
ing little or noattentiou to their
safety, or even economy of erec
tion. A large majority of our
school buildings are of the most
dangerous character, calling for
heavy depreciation and constant
repairs, largest insurance rates and
fewest exits. These buildings are
not only easily fired, but of the
character to burn most rapidly
when once fired.
With a view of bringing about
a change in these conditions, your
careful attention ia invited to the
letters and other data herein, J.?t
us inform ourselves and the peo
ple and We will get the results de
sired?better and safer school

A Spinning Party.
Mrs. Hay good White was hos
tess at a very enjoyable spinning
party given at her home near
Murfreesboro, N. C., Nov. 12, fori
the entertainment of the littie
folks. Those carding and spinning
were Mesdames Vaughan, T. B.
Parker and Thad Sewell.
The children were very interact
ed, and most every one present
tried his or her hand at spinning,
tlandies and fruit were served,
games played and fortunes told.
There were a number of young
boys und girls present who joined
the children in the games and for
tune telling. They also enjoyed
and were very mnch interested in
the spinning.

Dr. J. Y. Joyner, o! Raleigh.
Superintendent of Public Iustruc
tion, expresses himself as being
highly gratified with the progress
that is being achieved by the
moonlight, schools throughout the
State.
"The movement is getting rapid
ly underway," declared Doctor
Joyner, "and from the reports
that afe coming into1 the office,
gratifying progress is being
achieved everywhere. The ex
pressions on the part of the teach
ers are highly enthusiastic and
there are some interesting citations
given. One teacher reported that
three of her pupils had learned
to write on the third night. The
number Of adult illiterates enrolled
is large.
"We are anticipating splendid
results, for the papers have re
sponded nobly to the calls made
upon them, the Junior Order like
wise ahd also the women's organi
zations, farmers' clubs, etc. In
deed with such co-operation of ef
fort, much should be accomplished
toward wiping out adult illiteracy

UNFORTUNATE SMALL TOVNS.
Natural Mean* of Water Supply aad
Sewafe Diapoaal Make a
Town Unfortunate.
The ' unfortunate small town"
as explained by Dr. G. M. Cooper
of tiie State Board of Ilea lib re
cently. n the town that depend#
on "natural means" for its water
supply and sewage disposal. "Such
towns have from several hundreds
to a few tkouaand population with
nooe of the safeguards against dis
ease and insanitary conditions that
larger towns and cities have. For
this rpason. these small towns are
more unhealthy than even the
country. They have a congestion
of people with no protected water
supply, no sewer system and prac
tically no public health super
vision. Private wells, open closets
and breeding places for flies?the
three curses of Nmhl^s health?are
every where, an^ what is woiae,
the towD is so poor (mentally) that
it cannot afford anything better.
"The geoersl tendency of the
unfortunate small towns in ques
tions of health matters is to trust
to luck and the luck is often mis
erable. Typhoid fever pays them
an annual or semi-annual epidemic
and tuberculosis is an ever present
plague. They have perhaps an
annual clean up day or week but
the spell and its effects are soon
over., From appearances the
health officer is merely nominal
who rests in peace the greater part
of the year, unless a few women
"start something." Such apathy
usually exists till the price of it is
paid io proably some epidemic
tliat costs the town a number of
bright young lives.
"Fortunately," said Dr. Cooper,
"all small towfis are not in the un
fortunate class. They are wise
enough to make prevision against
the evil dav that la sure to come
to the poor (!) town unable to
safeguard ^its health.?Health

most popular young women of the
community, died last night at mid
nigbt, at her homo on Milt Street,
after a lingering illness of more
than a year.
She was twent.v-five y.ears of age
and by her clieerful courtesy while
in the business world, and her un
complaining patience during a long
and painful illness, had endeared
her to all who knew her.
She is survived by one brother,
Claude Scott, and four aunts, Mrs.
J. D. Bozemun and Mrs. Josephine
Williams, of Ahoskie, N. C., and
Mrs. Ella Bryant aud Mrs. Eliza

Miss Scott was a faithful mem- I
oer of the Suffolk Baptist church,
and was a Sunday school worker
up to a year ago, when her health
failed.
The deceased was a native of
Hertford, N. C ,'out removed to
Suffolk at an early age.
The funeral services were held
this afternoon at the Baptist
church, conducted by Dr. F. H.
Martin.
The (tallliearers were selected
from the officers of the church and
Sunday school. '
Appropiate music was rendered
by the choir of the Baptist church,
and there were many floral offer
ings. The interment was made in
