WEEKLY WALL STREET REVIEW.
New York, June - 23. Additional se
vere impairment of prices attended
another unsettled week in the stock
market. Leading shares, rails, as well
as industrials and obscure specialties,
registered their lowest averages in al
most four years.
Liquidation again was a primary fac
tor, but shorts became more aggres
sive on further suspended or' reduced
dividends and forecasts indicating
smaller earnings by the various in
dustrial companies for the quarter
soon ending.
Trade reviews reported further cur
tailment of production at steel centers
and more cutting of prices in that
industry, together with revised sched
ules by "automobile manufacturers
pointed to lighter buying power.
Some improvement was shown in
freight car loadingrs, but earnings thus
far submitted for May indicate that
many of the leading railway systems
will fall far behind in thfe first half pf
the year.
Foreign trade figures, for May also
showed a sharp decline, but interna
tional remittances moved mainly in
favor of this center. . The one note
worthy foreign development was the
lowering of the Bank of England dis
count rate.
Domestic money quotations also re
laxed visibly, moat of the federal re
serve banks now being on the same
basis. Local and interior banks seem
disposed with the approach of the mid
year to make more liberal purchases
of commercial paper and grain and
cotton bills.

THERMOMETER FAILS
TO REACH TOP MARK
Sympathetic elements put a stop Fri
day afternoon to a rising thermomenter
which was rapidly ascendin to pa point
equal to that of June 14, the hottest
day of the year. The storm lever was
pull down in the weather factory, and
local thunder storms sent the heat
waves scurrying to other parts of the
country. f
But not' out of the state, however.
Weldon, Wilmington and Goldsboro re
ported a temperature of 100 degrees,
as hot as it has been in the state this
year- Local showers gave these points
a wide berth until after enough coal
had been dumped into the weather stove
to sizzle the populace.
On thme upward climb from 96 de
grees at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon,
local mercury beat a hastoy retreat
when black clouds topped the horizon
early in the afternoon. At 8 p. m..
the thermomenter read 77 degrees. - The
minimum reached during the 24 hours
ending at 8 a. m., Saturday was 72 de
grees. During the early evening and
night, exhilarating breezes fanned the
Queen City bipeds into a comfortable
frame of mind.
Indications point to little, change in
conditions for Sunday. Local showers
are probable, and a temperature more
pleasant than that of the paBt few
days is in the forecast.

FIREMEN FIGHT
BLAZEAT MILL
"Hull Fibre" Caught Late
Friday and Has Been
Burning Ever Since.
"Firemen were still fighting a smo-il
dering fire Saturday in the "hull fib-r;'
building at the Buckeye Cotton Oil
Company, where flames originated
about 6 o'clock Friday evening. A
stream of water was kept on the cot
ton hulls throughout the night. Th
slowness with which the product burns
and the difficulty in extinguishing it
likely will cause it to burn for soms
days, firemen said.
The damage and loss could not be
estimated Saturday morning by officers
of the company. They said it would
run quite high but no figures could' be
given. Asked if they considered it
would reach $10.0QO, they replied that
it would be far in excess of that
amount.
An unusual method of fire-fighting
was developed Friday night when po
licemen were called out with riot gunt,
to shoot holes in the galvanized iron
sides of the building in order to permit
the throwing of water into the struc
ture. The great heat of the walls mide
work by firemen with pickaxes Im
possible. The riot guns, leaded with
buckshot, were successful in blowing
big holes in the walls through whi?h
streams ot water could be thrown
with effect.
A low grade of cotton known-as "hull
fiber" was stored in tho two-story
building. It was this which caught on
Are. The fibre was valued at about
$10,000, according to an estimate.
The fire in the building heating the
galvanizing iron walls made the struc
ture appear like a huge red hot stove.
The lack of openings at strategic
points in the walls necessitated the
use or the riot guns to blow holes at
places where water could be thrown
upon the slow-burning fire.
RAMA SQUABBLE
IS BEFORE JUDGE
Argument Hinges Around
Matter of Injunction
Against School Board.
Argument for and against making
permanent an injunction brought by
the Rama Rural Community against
the Mecklenburg county board of edu
cation to prevent the board establishing
the consolidated Sardis-Carmel-Oak
Grove rural school with certain bound
ary lines was proceeding before Judge
J. E McElroy in superior court Satur
day morning.
The case was being presented in the
shape of affidavits by citizens of Loth
the Rama commuinity and the to.rd
of education and by arguments of coun
sel. No berbal testimony w.h s being
received. The case to have been heard
at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon nut was
postponed until Saturday morning.
Col. T. LS Kirkpatrick. H. L. Taylor,
and Clarkson & Taliaferro are attorneys
for the Rama Community and l'harr
& Bell are attorneys for the school
board. The main argument was rela
tive to the law and whether a school
board shall or shall not be Jisturbed
in exercising its judgment as to proper
bounds of a school district. The Rama
Community contends that nertxin Kras

TEAMS MUST HAVE
PERMIT FOR PARK
Recent disturbances at Independence
Park caused the city commissioners
Saturday to grant police powers to H.
J. Muse, the park caretaker. Trouble
occurred a few days ago when aggre
gations of local baseball players fell
out as to 'which teams were privileged
to use the grounds at the park.
One team had obtained permission
from park orficif!.:s to play a game of
ball there. On arriving, the niei.-ibers
found another team in action. ' Claim
ing that they wore on the grounds first,
the. team members refused to relinquish
the grounds. Police were called to
straighten out the controversy.
The park officials will make it a prac
tice to issue permits to local baseball
and football teens to use the grounds,
it was said. In this manner a sched
ule can bo arranged and there will be
no co-iflict between persons wishing to
play ball at the park.

AIR ACCIDENTS
TOO FREQUENT
Secretary Weeks - Wants
Something Done in Way
of Caution.
Washington, June 25. Aroused by
the recurring fatal accidents in the
army air service, Secretary Weeks has
written to Major General Menoher,
chief of that service, asking that every
precaution be taken to prevent further
accidents.
"There have been too many accidents
to suit me," said Mr. Weeks. "I have
written General Menoher saying that
the greatest care should be used to
prevent accidents if possible."
Four accidents with a loss of eieh-
j teen lives have occurred In the army
air service in the last few weeks, and
the War secretary said he had request
ed that there be careful inspections of
airplanes and their accessories prior to
each flight and at all other times
Secretary Week said he had not re
ceived the report on the special investi-
pauim ne oraerea or me accident at;
iuorgantown, iia.. May zs, in which
seven men were killed in the Curtiss
Eagle ambulance plane during a vio
lent storm. Mr. Weeks said he regard
ed this accident as "an act of God."
"The recent accident at the Aberdeen,
Md., army proving grounds, which
also cost the lives of seven men, prob
ably was due, the secretary said, to
faulty mechanism, although the officia)
report had not been made to him. The
accident was caused by a bomb twice
dropping from its rack on an airplane.
Two of the otheV four men killed
lost their lives at-Langley Field, Va.,
while negotiating a landing with their
plane, while the other two met death
as a result of a collision between their
planes last Wednesday while engaged
in bombing tests near Tangier Sound,
Chesapeake Bay.
An analysis of casualties in the army
air service for the last year, it is said,
shows that the fatalities among the
army fliers total eight per cent of that
class of personnel. Army officers paid;
today that the aviation service was still
in the experimental stage and that 1
while every possible precaution wai
taken against accidents, it was humanly
impossible to prevent all of them. The
four recent accidents are not regarded
by experts here as preventable or un
expected. GROCERIES
