were lost this morning in a fire part
ly destroying one of the main build
ings of the insane asylum. There
weie 800 patients in the building
when the fire was discovered. The
well trained fire fighting corps, the
coolness and bravery of the, nurses'
and attendants, averted a more fright
ful loss of life.
There are four buildings in the
group of asylum buildings. The main
building is a four-story structure.
Women patients, numbering 350, oc
cupied the west wing. The remaind
er of the building was taken up with
the men's wards, containing some of
the most desperate- cases in the asy
lum.
The women were removed easily.
The situation among the men was
more serious. About' a score, driven
into frenzy by the stifling smoke,
fought off the rescuers . with fury.
Some of these after being rescued
broke away from the guards and fled
back to the burning buildings, to be
incinerated alive.

Dreaded. i
Charlotte, N. C, Aug. 1. There! was
no improvement in the drought situa
tion in this section today. Four addi
tional cotton mills shut down 'near
Gaffney, S. C because of low water

nas postponed indefinitely, the-jeyinp-tion
of current to these millsrand It
may be a week yet before the mills
can be operated.
Reports fro mthe cities and towns
in this section are no mQre encour
aging. In Salisbury the water sup
ply problem reached an acute stage
today and in other adjacent towns the
situation is no better. Crop condi
tions are rpidly becoming critcal.
The light showers of yesterday were
local and attended little relief.
In Charlotte there has been mark
ed improvement, though regular ser
vice has not been resumed. Water is
eingJiaaled from surrounding towns,
wLieh have proffered it in tank tiains,
and is being pumped directly into the
mains. While the authorities are
straining every effort to reach a dis
tant stream which may give sufficient
supply to tide over the distress.
Asheville, 183 miles away, is sending
a tank train tonight to the stricken
city.
The ealth board is observing ex
traordinary precautions to avert dis
ease which has been, the most dreaded
feature..

compiled here today from counties
contiguous to Lynchburg show that
the effects of the drought are alarm
ing. Some , sections report no ram
since April, f while others - have not
had sufficient moisture to wet the
surface in two months. While the
corn crop is reportedfair, other crops
will be from a half crop to almost a
total failure. Numerous branches
have 'dried up, but no suffering has
been reported because of the lack of
water for domestic purposes. Some
instances are reported of farm help
leaving the farms for a livelihood.

contained illustrations of barley, malt

He said the reason barley was not
used was because other grains were -cheaper
and - "cheap beers" brought
about "disastrous cheap saloons."
When he declared a certain agent ol

grains, so "as to affect the price or
barley, Dr. Wiley interposed.
"We ought to get the Sherman anti-
