IT IS ONLY A RUMOR, BUT
It May Be Something More After
A While
OFEIGES OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY
May Come to Greensboro Promi
nent Officials Here Looking Over
the Field What it WouIdYlean
As is well known, those offices of the
Southern Railway that were in the
traction house in Washington, D. C,
were destroyed by fire. This of course
necessitated a search for other quar
ters. In this connection we will state
that it is rumored that the office of the
superintendent of track building and
bridges will be moved to Greensboro.
Taking into consideration the fact
of Greensboro's central location on
the system and that Supt. Dodson, of
the above named department, has been
in Greensboro we hope that this ru
mor may take substantial form. If
this possibility were to materialize it
would mean not only an increase in
population but the acquisition of some
excellent people as citizens, as well as
another recognition of the central lo
cation of Greensboro.
In the building destroyed were also
the office of the purchasing agent and
the office for the tests made in the me
chanical department. Of the move
ments of the latter two offices we have
had no information, but we hope they
will give the ' Gate City a favorable
consideration before locating else
where. IS IT YELLOW FEVER?
New Orleans Man ;ays the Present
Scourge is Not Yellow Fever.
A gentleman from New Orleans in a
conversation with a News reporter last
night stated some interesting facts con
cerning the fever situation in that city.
The gentleman referred to says that it
is a debatable question whether or not
the present scourge of fever is the same
as the yellow fever of past years.
The record shows that when yellow
fever was prevalent in New Orleans
years ago that its course was spent in
five days time, the affected ones either
dying or a sudden change for the bet
ter taking place when the five days
had elapsed. The present scourge of
fever is not in any respect like former
ones. The patients now are sick from
ten to fifteen days, and there are other
symptoms that go to prove that the
present fever that exists in the South
today is not yellow fever. The gen
tleman referred to was frank to admit
that the press report did not, in his
opinion, give a correct list of the af
flicted ones. He was of the opinion
that there are at the present time 500
cases of this disease in New Orleans
alone. Charlotte News.
CRAW FORDS ARE UNFORTUNATE.
Presence of Mind Saves a Death at
Proximity.
There was another accident at Prox
imity last night in the Crawford fam
ily, the same family in which a boy
had his hand blown off last week.
Fletcher Crawford had just filled a
lamp afresh, when for some unaccout-
able reason it exploded. The lamp
was blown into fragments and the
burning oii thrown all over him from
his waist up. He was instantly envel
oped in flames, but with wonderful
presence of mind jumped into a bed
and his mother who was in the room
at the time of the explosion, quickly
covered him up with a blanket and
smothered out the flames. His cloth
ing was badly scorched, but he was
not burned except on his hand where
the burning oil took off the epidermis.
The burn was very painful, but not at
all dangerous. Dr. Turner was
'phoned for and dressed the hand and
the patient is resting quietly.

Complains of a Bibulous Judge.
A Lumberton special to News and
Observer says:
There is a great deal of complaint
about high taxes. Taxes are about
double what they were under Demo
cratic rule. The extra courts the Leg
islature gave us, and Judge Norwood's
drunkenness largely increased the ex
penses. He was drunk one whole
court which cost the county at least
$2,000, and nothing was done.
It is very evident now that the
changes in the school law are detri
mental to the public schools. There
seems to be dissatisfaction on the part
of all parties and races.
