LARGE DURHAM SCHOOL BUILDING WAS BURNED Morehead School Building Completely Destroyed Early Friday Morning; Insurance $26,500. Durham, May 21. Fire which caught in one of the upper stories of the Morehead '.-chool building at an earlv hour this morning: so far got ahead of the fire department that the whole of this, the biggest school building in the city, was completely destroyed. The alarm came in from Five Points on Main street at 3:45 and the whole building was a smoulder ing mass of ruins in two hours time. The firemen were wholly unable to cope with the situation. They did not fight the fire with a great deal of efficiency, according to many witnesses. One of the engines stopped at Five Points and waited till the fire had gained such head way that their presence was value less before they went over to' the school building. 1 he Morehead school building is the oldest in the city. It was erect ed about a quarter of a century ago and was for manv vears the whole of the city system, containing all of the grades, including the high school as well as the primary and grammer grades. It is now used as a grammer school, and was the largest in the city. Its destruction a week be fore the end o( the school will t a certain extent demoralize the woik in that school at the end of the term. All of the records, of the children for the past year as well as mostof the school records, and many of the children's books, left there over night, were destroyed, for the fire had such headway before it was discovered that it wasimpos sible to save any of the, property. Superintendent E. D. Pusey has notified aH of the school children who were attending this school to report at the Fuller school on Mon day morn itig. They will be met l5y their teachers,, and arrange ments will be made to carry on the work during the ccming four weeks of the present term. Every build ing in the city is crowded at the present time. So Mr. Pusey hopes to makes some arrangements for having.two terms of school in some of the buildings in order that the Morehead school children can be accommodated.' A The build. ng was partially cover- ed by insurances 500 insurance.

For the son she bore me was blind And crippled and weak and sore! And his mother was left a wreck, It was so she settled my score. I said I must have my fling, And they all knew the path I would go; Yet no one told me a thing Of what I needed to know. Folks talk too much of a soul From heavenly joys debarred And not enough of the babes unborn, By the sins of their fathers scarred. WILL DE NO TROUBLE WITH GERMANY, SAYS KITCHIN Kinston, May 20.

It is not often a person lives wifh a broken neck, and to have suffered the same injury on two widely separated 6c cassions and live to tell the tale is remarkable. However, this has been the experience of .Mr. P. H. Ives, a meat dealer of this city, who recently moved here from Eliza beth City. Mr. Ives had the mis fortune to get a bad fall several weeks ago, but continued to attend 10 his usual duties about his mar ket,, though he suffered severely with' pains in his neck. Becoming alarmed he went to Elizabeth Citv list week to consult and be under the care,,of his former family physi cian, Dr. H. D. Walker, who, after making a careful exami nation of the wound received by the fall in this city, informed Mr. Ives that he had suffered with a broken sninal col- uinn. Acting upon the advice of Dr. Walker, Mr. Ives accompanied him to Norfolk, where an X-Ray photo graph was made of his neck and it was discouered that he had a severe fracture of one of the bones and abo had an old fracture which had healed and left his neck stiff. This wound was received by a fall simi lar to the one received in this citv. l'his old fracture and stiffness caused a rigidity which contributed to the later fracture. The picture t 1 a snows oiainiv a easDmp crack in lhe spinal column, but owing to his wonderful constitution, Dr.,AValker has assured Mr. Ives that with pro jier.care t-he wound will aveniually neat and he will be none the worse otherwise thana : fstiff jiecktlfpuh Til3"aseV coWsiere'femar tabic one. Mr. Ives has rtturned home from the Norfolk Hospital and is in ex cellent spirits considering the ser ious nature of his condition and is optimistic of ultimate recovery. IN MEMORY OF MRS.

To this union four daughters were born, all of whom lived to womanhood and became mothers to families, and proved in every sense worth; three of whom still survive, one preceded the mother to the better land. Thus Mrs. Joyner had the oppor tunity to test her self in all the avenues of true woman hood and proved a blessing in every walk. When quite a girl she was convert ed to Christ, and after her marriage moved her membership with her to her new home, Woodl md Church, where for the last thirty five years of her noble life, she remained faithful and ttue, shtdding her Christian sun shine around where she went, lighting her own home and loVed loved ones and sheding blessings on all with whom she came in contact, and when the end came every one who knew her felt a pang of sorrow, but not that sor row without sunshine, for her faith was plauted in God and by his Grace she succeeded. May her mantle not only fall on the loved of her household but may the writ er be over shadowed to a sensible effect by the same.
