FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Began Sunday — Three-Fourth of Fire Loss Caused by Carelessness, lialeigh. Oct. 4. — UP)—Simultane ously with other states in t’lie Union, “Fire Prevention Week” started in North Carolina Sunday. Sponsored by the State insurance department, the week of October 3-11 I has already been designated in a proc ) lamation from Governor McLean as a week for the study of methods of tire prevention and foe the enlightenment of the citizenry of the state on how tires occur and what loss they entail. The campaign will be carried to ve ery corner of t’ae state through local clubs, literature sent out from the insurance department at Raleigh, the schools and the press. Chief among the facts to he pre sented in the one-week educational campaign is that seventy-five per cent, of North Carolina's fire loss in 1025 was caused by carelessness. The total, property fire loss was placed at $0,014,014.00 in the state last year. This resulted from fires in 2,418 structures, classified as fol lows: 1430 residences. 30 school hous es, 23 churches, 16 apartment houses. 131 stores. 72 factories, 72 garages, 0 hospitals. This loss was deducted from the total value of property listed on the tax books of the state, which is placed at approximately $2,751,000,000. Es ! timates have it that it would require at least $104)00.000 to replace the property actually destroyed. Not so impressive «n figures, but far more appalling in liymnn appeal, are the fiures on deaths from acci dental burns in the utate last year— -205.-■ftlwb »»' injured list twk* that great. All this loss of life and property was brought on by twelve causes, of ficials of the state insurance depart ment state. They are: First—Exposures (fire jumping from house to house and roof to roof), j Second —Poor wiring and careless ’ ness with electric irons and other ap -1 pliances. I Third —Defective flues and ehim | neys. j Fourth —Carelessness with matches, i I Fisth —Sparks on shingle and other quick-burning rooms. Sixth—Starting fires with kero sene. [ , Seven —Stoves and furnaces, i Eight—Hot ashes and coals. I Ninth —Spontaneous combustion and ! blazes storting from accumulations of i trash. | Tenth —Rats. Eleventh —Cigar and cigarette buts. ! Twelfth —Incendiarism. “The great waste of energy, for wealth is but stored energy, .cannot, in our generation, be entirely eliipi-, nated, but if every citizen in the state I will use fii’e prevention week in an j honest effort to reduce unnecessary fire hazards, a large part of it can be J eliminated and a foundation laid to I relieve the children of this generation j and I’aeir children of an economical burden which, if not materially light ened. will within their lifetime prove disastrous,” declares a statement is sued by the insurance department con cluding its plea for proper observance of the week. WHEN BOOTLEGGERS FALL OUT Rival Gangs of Moonshiners in Open Warfare in Tennessee. (By International News Service) Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 4.—“ When thieves fall out, just men get their dues.” When bootleggers fall out it 8 even worse. Sheriff Will S. Knight, de clares. ' Rival gangs of moonshiners ha\ e been engaging in open warfare here for several weeks. But the more they fight, the more good they do for officers. Anonymous telephone calls “tip the sheriff’s office off to the locations of many stills in the surrounding ter ritory of this city every day. Acting on these tips, deputies have destroyed more than 200 stills during the past few months. “It was just recently that I found out where these calls come from,” said the sheriff. “Rival gangs of moon shiners are tipping us off as to the lo cation of the other band’s stills.” Memphis’ liquor market is flooded and the price has been run down to fifty cents a half pint. While conducting raids through the Wolf river bottoms north of this city, deputies find where rival gangs of liquor-makers have been dynamiting stills themselves. By eliminating thei rcompetitors, each gang expects to get control of the liquor market and run the price up. So keen has the rivalry grown, that officials are beginning to fear bloodshed among bootleggers as was an outbreak in 1922. * ~ AS DOUTHIT SCORES FIRST HIT OF SERIES »——■—■——i—. . - - ‘ Douthit, the first man to bat for the St. Loir's Cardinals, was photographed the moment he swung on the ball for a two-bag'ger.

CONCORD* N.C., MONDAY, OCTOBcu 4, 1926 THIS RED CROSS , SHOULD ALWAYS K SET FOR DISASTER j Chairman John Barton \ Payne Says the Florida! Disaster Shows Need for Peace Time Strength. IFIESER TALKS OF WORK IN FLORIDA Says People There Now Realize That Red Cross Must Aid With Funds Donated by People. "Washington, Oct. 4.— UP) —The dreadful disaster to the people of Florida shows the imperative need of maintaining peace time strength of the national Red Cross. Chairman John Barton Payne declared today in a •«;*eeeh prepared for the opening siOn of the sixth annual con vent ip u-oT the organization. Deep concern over misunderstand ing as to the extent of the need for relief work in Florida was expressed I by James L. Fieser. vice chairman of I of operations in the disaster area f<lr j the past two weeks. Florida state : officials, he added, believe no longer that file hurricane sufferers can be : taken care of without outside aid. i To local pride cn part of State of ficials lie attributed the dissemination ! of early reports that southern Florida was not suffering as gravely as had j been pictured, reports which drew j from Chairman Payne the statement j that Florida officials and real estate operators practically nullified his | statements. , . The differences, Fieser said, had | confused the people of the United , States as to the aid that was re quired. Without this misunderstand ing “the first time in the history of the Red Cross that confusion has blocked prompt contribution of the full amount asked,” he expressed con fidence that $5,000,000 and more would have been subscribed a week ago. With the $3,000,000 already col lected the Red Cross can help a cer tain number of the 18,000 families j rendered homeless, he continued, while j other officials of the organization ex- j pressed hope that the remaining s'-,-1 000,(KM) desired would be raised be fore the end of this week. Fieser said that he did not “be lieve that Gpvernor Martin believes there is no need, but if he wants to say that, that it is up to him”, adding that he had observed no friction in relief work on the ground, but that “everyone had their sleeves rolled up and were co-operating in a fine spir it.” - Seats of Army-Navy Game Sell Fqr Over SI,OOO Each.

Oct. 4.—( A 3 )—The cot ton market opened steady today at an I advance of 0 points to a decline of one point. Over-Sunday ©elling orders from the South were in smaller volume than re cently while there appeared to be considerable trade buying as well as covering and buying for a reaction. This was reflected in a firmer tone as I soon as early offerings had been ab- J sorbed, the market selling up to 13.43 | foi* December and 13.70 for March* by I the end of the first hour, or about 12 to 10 points net higher. Reports of rains at some points in | the western belt and of a tropical I storm formation in the Yucatan Chan nel probably contributed to the ad vance, while the smaller Southern selling here led to talk of an increas ed holding movement in the Belt. Private crop reports estimated the condition at 57.4 and the indicated yield at 15.350,000 bales. Cotton futures opened steady. Oct. 13.40 ; Dec. 13.23 ; Jan. 13.27 ; March 13.55; May 13.80.

NO BITTER FIGHT NOW IN PROSPECT Relations With. Mexican Federation Not Expect ed to Cause Any Differ ences at Convention. Detroit. Oct. 4.— UP)— Committed to the five-da.v week as the next major forward step for “the highest pa : d workers in the world,” executive of ficers of the American Federation of Labor turned today in the opening session of the Federation's 40th an nual convention to a multitude of prob lems centered on the welfare of Am erican labor. Eleventh hour agreements be tween groups widely separated on sev eral vegatious questions opened a fair prhapect foe the two weeks* assem blance, bringing forth prediction of prominent leaders that the entire time probably would be devoted to delib erationsu pon constructive policies bearing directly upon the immediate program of the organization. Foreboding division of sentiment in the preliminary gatherings last week on the question of relations with the Mexican Federation of Labor were bridged by an informal agreement be tween representatives of a majority of the convention voting strength to ac cept without debate the recommenda tion of the executive counc : l.

Judge Barton "Payne, head of the American Red Cross, I urge the peo ple of the state to make more liberal contributions for the relief of the storm sufferers in the state of Florida. While some communities have made contributions. I do not feel that our state has measured up*to the general reputation Which it has made in the past of contributing promptly and liberally to the alleviation of those in distress. “Contributions should he made through the American Red Cross, which is a most reliable organization and which is now in charge of the re lief work in Florida. I urge partic ularly the local chapters of the Red Cross and all other civic bodies and (•naritable organizations in the state to make an earnest effort, within the next week or ten days, to increase the aggregate of contributions from North Carolina. “ANGUS W. McLEAN, •‘Governor.*' i - RECEIVERS REPORT First Report Made by Receivers for Tobacco Growers Co-operative As s(H*ia t ion* Richmond, Oct. 4.—04*)—The first general report of the receivership of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative As sociation was filed today in \ irginia, North Carolina and South Carolina United States district courts by James | H. I'ou. Hallct S. Ward and Merton L. Corey, receivers. The report is supplemented by a complete statement of the assets and liabilities as at Juue 19, 1929, to gether with a statement to date of the receipts and disbursements of the re ceivers in liquidating t’ue association. The report shows that at the time of the receivership the association owned about' 70.000,090 pounds of to bacco, practically all of which was pledged to secure loans from the banks in the sum of $8,703,200. This in debtedness has been reduced to $5,- 335.572.13, the report shows. The receivers point ou tiiafc liqui dation of the association was inevita ble, that during the period of May 19 to June 19 the last month preceding the receivership the association had been conij>el!ed to renew loans with the Federal Intermediate Credit Raiik of Baltimore in the sum of $3,399,- 400, and to call upon that bank to furnish funds for operating expenses amounting 4o $150,000.

IPOLITICAL BUSTS FROM THREE MAJOR , CENTERS OFFERED |i v | Leaders of Democratic, Re i publican and Prohibition Parties Make Statements During the Day. preside Wis VAGUE, CHARGED This Charge Made by Dem* ocrats While Republi cans Say Democrats Not Able to Find An Issue. Washington, Oct. 4.— UP) —Political blasts from three major centers —re- publican. democratic and prohibition —were added today to these already discharged by parry spokesmen who have their gaze upon the November elections which will decided control qf the 70th Congress. “President. Coolidge’s professed fears of a contemplated raid on the fpderal treasury in the December session,” said Representative Oldfield, Arfcat)- sas, chairman of the democratic ittn* gressional committee, “are too vagus and mysterious to be taken seriously ‘ by the country” ; while Representative Wood, Indiana, chairman of the re i publican congressional committee, sak} * j the democratic party “in futile efforts to find even one issue in which the i ; public response to its contentious j would amount to more than a hollow ■ J echo of its own faint murmurings, ■ j has shown bull-frog like agility in jumping from any one subject an other. but in no instance lias it found a place in which even temporarily to sun itself.” Wayne B. Wheeler, genera? coun sel of the Anti-Saloon League, entertyl the controversy with a statement that “Oregon will be the center of several state-wide wet and dry- fights,” the others being in Missouri, Montana, (’olorado and California while he con tended that prohibition referendum elections in New York. Nevada, Wis consin and Illinois would be without “any legal effect.” If the President and Secretary Mel lon would join the democrats at the December session of Congress, Repre sentative Aldfield asserted, “the large surplus now being piled up in the treasury would be restored to the peo-' pie by means of another cut iu their taxes, and there will then be nothing to fear from the mysterious raiders now giving the President os much con cern.” while Representative Wood de clared that “there is not a vulnerable spot in the republican record” on the tariff, national prosperity, govern mental economy, taxation and farm relief. “The real issue of this cam paign,” he added, “is found by com bining all of these subjects.” Prohibition. Mr. Wheeler contend ed, has decreased deaths from alcohol ism, arrests for drunkenness, alcohol ic insanity, consumption of alcohol, juvenile cases requiring court action, crimes against chastity, and a tre mendous decline iu the number of first offenders for drunkenness and many -other offenses connected with the use of liquor. These results, he continued ‘'added to the economic gains, will withstand like the Rock of Gibraltar against any wet wave or beer attack oil the ltitin 'amendment.” Report New' Treatment on Lunf Tuberculosis.

Thoracoplasty, a more modern surgical adaptation of the older method of puncturing the chest i wall to collapse the lung, has resulted ■ in the improvement of an additional number of eases where adbegious formerly prevented the obtaining of relief.” Babylonians Bobbed Avers Arrbeoto gfet.
