WINFREY AMD OTHERS INJURED BT THE FAILING WALL. Fire Starts in Kitchen About 1:50?Building Practically Des troyed?Heavy Loss. About two o'clock on Wednesday morning the populace of Louisburg was awaken by the fire alarm, whichigavd thd intel ligence that the Hot?! Franklin was on fire. Upon antral it was easily learned that the fire originated in the Kitchen and, but for the failure of a hydrant to work, no doubt the Hotel could have been saved, lie fire soon spread from the Kitchen to the Main building where it made a rapid headway, and for a time seemed to defy all the efforts of the firemen who were doing their utmost to subdue it. The progress of the fire was so rapid that only a small portion of the Hotel equipment was saved, and within two hours the entire building, except the room next to the Bank occupied by the Post Office was a total loss. This one room was saved by the heroic and persistent efforts of the firemen, who did a noble work under the con ditions. . t Those whorwere damagedby the fire were as follows: G. W. Ford, loss of Hotel and furnishings, estimated at $30,000 with no insurance. . Dr. W. B. Morton, Eye Specialist, damage caused by moving out, estimated at $300. No insurance. Dr. A. H. Fleming^ Dentist, loss mostly from moving out equipment, estimated at $l,000rinsufed. U. S. Post Office, mail badly damaged by water. , "In addition to the above there were many who lost a part or.'aU of their wardrobe. v At just, a few minutes after 4:00 o'clock and .when the fire had been about gotten under absolute control), the front wall to the building fell and but for the timely alarm from some one watching many serious injuries would have resulted ae there was a large crowd in the street. As it was Mr. J. D. "Winfrey, a plummer and Mr. Fred Weaver were injured by falling brick and Mr. ~W. H. Buffin, a prominent attorney and a former Chief of the fire department, was seriously stunned by a live wire, which was broken down by the falling wall. Besides these there were a number of others who received minor injuries ffom falling brick. At one time it looked as if the Farmers & Merchants Bank and the Hill Live Stock Co., buildings would catch fire, but the finpmen prevented this.?. ^ The Hotel was being- operated by Mrs. L. T. Babcock, of Berkville, Va., who came to Louisburg in February and who is credited with having added much to the popularity of this Hotel, by the introduction of many improvements. We under stand that for the present she,will get a residence and accomo date her boarders until the building can be replaced. Dr. A. H. Fleming has equipped temporary offices in the rooms over P. S. & K. K. Allen's store with Mr. A. W. Person. The Postofflce for the present is maintaining temporary headquarters at the sample room to the rear of the Hoteli building, and have met the emergency by promptly dispatching all mails on time and doing exceedingly well with the distribu tion of the mails. Dr." W. B. Morton has fitted up temporary headquarters in the office of Mr. J. L. Palmer, over the First National Bank. Work of clearing up the debris preparatory to begining a new bujldinz.was begun early in the morning of Wednesday and is ^fcjl.1 in pit>jrireB8.v ' ? $' There is hardly any doubt at aH but that the whole building with the exception of the Kitchen, could have bepn. saved had the town maintained a ^aid member of the fire department at the fire house, as the confusion arising from the lack of I knowing the whereabouts of the equipment in the fire house and the strangeness of the men to"the horses caused the firemen to be at least fifteen minutes later than necessary getting on the) job. ? This should be a lesson to our town fathers. This experience is well paid for. "Don't.lets have to pay for more. - It will be interesting to his many friends to know that the injuries of Mr. H. Buffin, were not as serious as first thought and that he is sufficiently recovered to return to his office. Mr. Winfrey, however, is not doing so well, his injuries being worse that was at first expected. Por??

Doctrine. There arc more people la cities than anywhere else. When you want to accomplish a certain result you icq where there Is the greatest opportunity. To make government better, yon must make people better. To make' people better you must work where there are the greatest number of them. Reform the cities, and the country will take care of Itself. In advertising campaigns, one dis ? trlct Is tried -out first. If It succeeds, then the whole country Is taken. This saves much money. It reduces the risk. In this country we are trying to re form too many cities at once. Let us take one at a time. Begin anywhere. If New York Is too large, take Fifth Avenue. Let all the offlclen V . cy reformers fJjj_the country concer trate on FlffK Avenue.
