Old Song Brings Tears. Immediately following thtfjfcusiness meeting of the camp the Lumberton male quartet, composed of Messrs. Frank Gough, Ed B. Freeman, C. B. Skipper and J. Pope Stephens, sang "Tenting Tonight". As the quartet, was being sung tears could be seen in the eyes of many of the followers of Generals Lee and Jackson.

This was followed by three appropriate songs by a number of children from the Lumberton graded school. Address by Robt. Mclntyre The speaker of the day was fitting ly introduced by Mr. John G. Proctor of the local bar.

"The soldiers of the Confederacy were not defeated", the speaker de clared, "but -simply outnumbered". The speaker painted a vivid picture of the land flowing with milk and honey which the Confederate soldiers left when they entered the war and the cnnditfnnn wKink i . :: r .. "meu wnen they returned. He spoke words of comnr.dndation of the .. great spirit which the soldiers displayed during the days of reconstruction. The speak er then told of how .North Carolina has advanced in every way since the Wari CmtinuinK. he said, All that is good and grand in North Carolina today is due to the principles upon which the veterans based the foundation for advancement". In closing the speaker declared that today there is no North, and no South, but one flag of a united nation This, he said, was demonstrated during the recent World War, when soldiers from all parts of the nation answered the call to arms. Mr. Mclntyre delivered a most elo quent address. Quite a . number be sides the veterans were present and the occasion as a whole was alto, gether delightful. r -Bountiful Dinner A bountiful dinner was served the veterans and wive and daughters of veterans in the commissioners' room in the court house. Cigars were fur nished by Mr. M. W. Floyd.- Mr. J.

School Bonds Vbt- r j ed by Fairmont A ow aaa m a n . a Will be Held Saturday Plans for Receiving Station for "Co-ope" at Fairmont. 1 ; ' ' By H. V. Brown jof the 8ircn tit9 wniltie ad the rinsrinfir of bells at S o'clock this morning made known that fire was destroying the residence of Mrs. Kate Crawford on Church street, and grave ly threatening many near-by ' dwell ings. By the time the local fire de partment reached the scene the entire building was a mass of flames, nd from spreading. Mr. M, T. Singletary, who occupied the house, discovered tlie fire as the roof was falling .in, and at the same time Mrs. Crawford was aroused by the roaring. It was a close call and narrow escape for those who were in the house. This is the second fire which Mr. Singletary has experienced since the first of the year, the other, being the old Pitt man house on lona street, a few months ago, at which time he lost everything he had in the house. From reports the fire seems to have start ed in the room which was occupied by Mr. and,Mrs. Crawford, who rent the house to Mr. Singletary, and who were just stopping in town for the night. The loss to both Mr. Singletary and Mrs. Crawford was complete, ioouku n is, a .. ... . . understood that they carried a small -amount of insurance. Hard to Locate Fire Many of the townspeople who re sponded to the fire whistle were at a loss to know just where the fire was. The fog was so thick that the blaze could not be seen, and lots of those who responded first went "harem scarem" trying to find the fire. Some time ago the town board was asked to make some arrangements by which the people could determine where the fire was when the alarm was sounded. When a fire is discovered the news is phoned to the power house, where the siren gives the alarm but gives no distinctive signal as to where the fire might be. The town could at least be divided into five sections: One signal for business section, one for East Fairmont, one for West Fair mont, one for South Fairmont and one for North Fairmont. This would at least help the situation. Adjusted Light Rates At a meeting of the town fathers last night a plea was presented by Mr. W. R. Taylor, former alderman, for an adjustment in light rates, which would give the larger users some discount. After a long and con tested debate it was decided that (those burning 75 to '100 K. W. would be given a 15c rate and those burning inn i j i - rt i .-- v -.ww K. W. rate. This will be of great help to large and commercial users.

Mr. Jones reports that Mr. Worley was in favor of his offer and sent a message here that he would be in Fairmont within the next two weeks to trade with the "co-ops." This will be considered a turning point in the plans for making a cen tral receiving station here.
