"f ititp j Vrf 'y the Associated Press. Richmond, Va.. Feb. 7. At least three persons dead and 30 injured and a p.uperty loss estimated at $150,- OOC, according to police records short-; .y before noon, resulted today from a fire which destroyed the Lexing ton Hotel and gutted four adjacent buildings. Seventy-two persons were guests of the hotel and it is believed by the polite that the toll will reach 15 or, 20. At 12..'0 firemen had not penetrat ed the main portions of the hotel ruins, where it was believed most of the bodies may be found. A high brick wall facing Twelfth street, it was feared, might fall any mo ment. Efforts are being made to dis interigate the foundation of the wall and cause it to tumble, after which search for the bodies will begin, Fire Chief Joines declared. The known dead are Byron S. Austin, Fincastle, Ya., who died on his way to a hospital; Champ J. Knox, Williamsport, Pa., who died in a local hospital, and C. M. Thomas, sheriff of Albemarle county, who died of in juries. The list of injured included J. E. Ford, Rocky mount, N. C, lacera tions; and James Robertson, North Carolina, injured back. There were a -large number of guests missing, including A. B. Overton, Nashville, N. C. The belief was expressed that sev eral of these will later be accounted for in the hospitals. "I was at the desk when T saw the smoke and fire sweeping up the fire escape," Mart E. Frye, clerk of the Lexington hotel, who was on duty at the time, said. "I grabbed the telephone, but it was out of order. Men had been working on the switch board and the connection was severed. I was therefore delayed slightly in sending in the alarm. I told the boy to step upstairs and notify the guests. ' "Smoke and heat was intense and I do not know how many he was able tn nrnnsp. When I irot back from turning in the alarm, the building wasj in flames. "It seems that few sought the fire escapes with which the building is equipped. Most of the women ap peared at the windows and several of the guests started jumping down. I don't know how many jumped from windows. "There were 72 guests in the ho tel last night. I had just: finished when I saw the fire. Several persons jumped from the third floor to the sidewalk. "My lungs soon were filled up and I could do nothing. I had to get out in the air or faint." James J. Donahoe, former mana f vo hotel, said at noon today that he is strongly of the belief that . Wilson, N. C. and J. E. Ford, Rocky between 12 and 15 persons lost their t Mount, N. C. 'Skovgaard will 'appear in Colum bia, S. C, tonifiht and will arrive in Hickory on the Dth, giving his con ceit at the college at eight o'clock, p. m.. of that day. To Skovgaard belongs a masterly dignity, unalloyed by mannerisms and shallow display. An artist of the scholarly order, he devotes himself with seriousness to the music which lie performs London, England Times. Artistically the most brilliant event of the season was the Skovgaard con cert last night. From the time this artist begins to "talk" to you with his violin until he stops, you are compelled, whether ycu will or not, to listen. His art is mature, and his playing last evening was verile, mag netic and deeply emotional. His program embraced charming select ions from Mendelssohn, Chopin, Sarasate, Schubert, Wieniawski and others besides his own compositions. Vort Land, Copenhagen, Denmark. He controls the grand old Stradi varius upon which he plays, and the feelings of his aud'ience, with all the inborn ease of a genius. His is a faultless technique combined with the deepest musical understanding. Neuse Preussiche Zeitung, Berlin, Germany. From the very start Skovgaard proved himself to be a scholarly mu sician, not lacking in virtuous bril liancy, but first and last an inter preter of musical ideas and senti ments. New York Times. , , 10TTEII BOOSTED T MAYOR Geo. R. Wootten is the choice of R. F. ("Dad'dy") Gardner for mayor. His name was brought to the Record office yesterday afternoon. There is one thing that Hickory people are doing and that is giving the Question of the next mayor care ful study. Seme strong personalities h-e ben broucht mt by various citizens both men and women and the desire is to select the very best tal ent available. Hickory people have no desire to tr.ke a backward' step. They want; their citv to continue to force ahead Mrs. Charlie Meadows will have J. II. Parick for mayor and Mr. Meadows sponsors J. W. Shuford. These names came in during the afternoon. j The following excerpt from an edi i torial appearing last Sunday's Char jlotte Observer is worthy of note loc i ally since Dr. Charles Aubrey Eaton will aodress the manufacturers of this community en a similar topic next Saturday afternoon at the Chamber ! ot Commerce rooms. The editorial in j part says that the Charlotte Chamber ! of Commerce has instituted what is to be known as a "Membership Din-: ner and on these occasions seme I spea'ker on nation-wide repute will A'ive a talk. The first of the series is booked for Wednesday night, when Chas. Aubrey Eaton will make an ad dress on the subject of "America's Greatest Need," and Mr. Eaton is an authority eminently qualified to han dle that matter. Mr. Eaton has made a fine platform reputation. He was at one time editor of Leslie's Weekly and is now president of the American Educational Association. lie is a recognized leader of industry and will make relation of points of intimate value to the .industrial and commer cial interests c:i) this community. He has a message that should be heard by every sound thinking man in the country and he presents the facts in such a clear and common sense manner that he makes a profound impression, wherever he appears. The Observer says: "Dr.. Eaton during- tho world war was chief of the National Service section. In that capacity because of his unusual power for organization, his" ability for leadership and his. understanding of working men as well as his extraordinary popularity as a speaker Dr. Eaton was charged with the responsibility for soeeil.np- un production in all the shipyards and in thousands of industrial plants con tributing war materials. "His success was phenominal. As president o'f the American Educational Association, Dr. Eaton is now devot ing his energies to a national educa tional affort to afford all those in the ranks oil industry a better understand ing of Industrial Economics. This work has as its two' major funda mentals the encouragement of maxi mum initiative and maximum product ion on the pail of each working unit." His address at the Hickory Cham ber of Commerce rooms to local man ufacturers will therefore be very in structive and interesting. LIVESTOCK PRICES MAKE BIG ADVANCE By the Associated Press.

Baltimore Sun. clipping up cn some thousands o' r topic, who show true husbandry, i v putting out their. incand'escents i i Tare midnight, the second snow of season came as a dislinct sur ' :'-e. It followed an unexpected r?.'in v.nd was accompanied I v sleet and or by a freeze, but not for long. A waim sun came out and battled' with a stiff breeze which came from ilu snow-clad mountains to the northwest. The rees r..id wires were lovely early this orning. They sparkled like jewels in the early sun, and a fellow who makes like he cares for natural l-eauty got an. eyeful! free of charge. It was a sort of poc r mail's snow i a ere duiing the night und melted during- the day. The children, ac-:cidin- to the Record's intelligence, division or spy department, were not at all enthusiastic. They realized at a glance that this was not slec'ding wt'i-ther. and that before they got out of school the snow would be about all gone. Seme of the children, who have learned to rely implicitly on the Record's weather reports, were some what amazed. They hadn't heard that the snow was coming and were ex pecting fair weather hvst night. They apparently have not realized that nature slips up rn the official observers, just as a child can slip out from under his skates or a man c-'-i bump the sidewalk as the result of a change in composition, caused by so insignificant a thing as a banana peel. .Might hawks say it was a rough snow. It pelted downward, big fls'Tces which would have meant something if they had fallen on dry, frozen giound. GODDARD TO SING SOME POPULAR SlibS tlrn than and a no lives in the building.

Governor Morri son's decision to mail his latest pro clamation direct to the morning pa peis of the. state instead of having d released through the Raleigh cor ?cspondents in the usual way has raised the question whether his excellency is "viewing with alarm'' the capital city newspapermen. The proclamation is an appeal for cooperation in the governor's "bet ter gardens and more pigs and cows ' program for North Carolina. Admit rcdiy it was a most difficult piece of new? to handle and it may be that because of this fact the governor thought it best to send the procla mation i.'h-eet to the morning papers. No explanation is forthcoming ut the governor's office, presided ever to day by his private secretary. Gov ernor Moiison is in New York City this week looking after state bonds which have been sold. No copies of the nroclamation are I available at the governor's office tor afternoon dailies. If they fail to get through the mails they can't be sunolied. This action raises the question as to whether all documents for public consumption emanating from the governor's office in the future will be handled as today's proclamation. It cannot be learned whether this course will be follow or not. It is presumed Governor Morrison will set thingsc straight when he returns to the capital at the end of the week. Apiuointmenf; of the governor's commission to confer with him re garding the reorganization cf the. county government law is being look ed forward to with interest at the capital. Governor Morrison thinks the pres ent law is too antiquated and he will do his best to have it changed' when the 1923 legislature gathers. Just what changes he will recommend does not appear but it is known that one phase of county government the governor is displeased with is the handling of funds. A better system of audit will be strongly recommend ec.', it is t;akl. -, - - .
