Fire sup posed to1 have been of indendiary or igin completely destroyed the Thomasville .public school building and two residences early yesterday morning entailing a loss estimated at $115,000 to $125,000. Insurance to the amount of $40,000 was carried on the school building. The residences were occupied by G. R. Hoo.per, superintendent of the Jewell Cotton mills, and C. L. Har ris, postmaster of Thomasville. Whether insurance was , carried on these houses could not be learned this morning. Most of, the furniture war. saved. Trouble with the water system of Thomasville made it impossible for the local volunteer fire fighters to hght the flames with any success. One of the pumps has bean out of order for the past week. When the fire was at its height, a fail was sent to Hitrh Point for as sistance and Chief. A. "B. Forney sent j one fire truck and a car lull ot lire men. The fire, however, was under control, however, when they arrived. The flames were first discovered on the second story of the school building at 12:55 this morning. So far as could be learned here no one had been in the building and there had been no fire in it all day. The Easter holidays began yesterday and the school has been deserted. For that reason the belief is enter- tained strongly here that the fire was IN FLOOD DAMAGE INT WOMEN WILL SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL Tom Fincannon, who lives just north ot the Country club was can - vic-ted in recorder's court last even- j to three months on the roads. 'f . stntence would have been heavier, Recorder Pruitt stated, but for the Ti'ft. TI-i-.iT Hirc:i)inn.(i wriln w mv. icusly ill, with slight chance of re covery. City Prosecutor Jos. L- Mur phy was assisted by Chas W. Eagby and R. H- Stouford represented the defendant. The case consumed most of the ?:z ternoo'n and was the outgrowth of the finding of a still on Sunday morning', April 2, in the woods back of Windy City by C. E. Carpenter, who alleged that Fincannon and Cleve Townsend were operating it Testimony disclosed that three young white men, probr.'oly more, had been inclined to guard the aipiproac-h to the outfit aj'ainst unwelcome vis itors Evidence brought out in the exami nation of witnesses tended to show that C. E. Carpenter, the spate's principal witness, had observed the still in operation Sunday morning, April 2, about sun-up, had returned about 11:30 and saw on the hill side several boys hollering and "having a good time" and among them his own son, Clay Carpenter, and after telling Geo. W. Fox of his discovery re ported the still to Sheriff Mauser at 1 o'clock. The sheriff and Deputy Siieriff Pink Cam bell searched the woods that afternoon, located the place where the still had been running and found Cleve Tovnsand about 200 yards distant, drunk and down. Townsend was ai rested and convict ed and fined in recorder's court on Tuesday, April 4, on a charge of drunkenness- There was nothing said at the trial about a still being found near him nor of the report made to the sheriff by Mr- Carpen ter .- On Tuesday night, according to Geo. W. Fox, he came to Hickory to induce the officers to swear out war rants for Cleve Townsend and Tom Fincannon, the men who were run ning the still, according to Mr. Car penter, and Deputy Sheritt Campbell signed the warrants. The warrant on Fincannon was served Thrusday afternoon of last week, but Cleve Townsend could not be located and is reported to have left this- section last Saturday night. After telling Sheriff Mauser about the still Sunday and following the raid, in which the still place was found and Cleve Townsend was picked up drunk in the woods, Mr. Carpenter said he told Deputy Sheriff Campbell about it before the trial on Tuesday, April 4. It was at this trial that Townsend was found guilty of being drunk, but nothing was brought out about a moonslnn plane. Mr. Fox in his testimony said he had seen the officers three times be fore he could get a warrant issued. He came to Hickory on the Tuesday night of the trial and had Mr. Campbell issue the warrants after Mr. Carpenter had sworn to the facts. Deputy Sheriff Campbell testified that Mr. Carpenter told him on Monday morning, April 3, that Fincannon and Townsend were both at the still. Mr. Carpenter was busy with some concrete work about his home and could mot accompany the officer to Hickory to swear out warrants. Mr. Carpenter came the following Tuesday night, but the deputy could get nobody to accomp any him to make the arrests, the men still being in the neighborhood, that night. Mr. Campbell testified that Mr. Carpenter told him sub stantially the same thing as the wit ness told the court. Duriner the examination Recorder Pruitt said he would like to find out why it was that nobody thought to bring out the fact ot the still when Cleve Townsend could be had, and that was a point that Mr. I'ox ana Mr. Carpenter also would like to have cleared up. If the court had known about the blockade still when Town send was tried and fined for being drunk, he would have faced trial on the greater offense of making liquor. The state introduced several boys as witnesses. Three of them told of going after "burnt" liquor, stuff that had scorched in the making, but they were noncommital about other matters'. They said they did not see Tom Fincannon, the defendant, but they did see Townsend, who is gone. These boy witnesses were Clay Car renter, Buck Granger and Clyde Lit tle ii. A!. Miller and E W. Brown, citizens of Windy City, were intro duced by the state and both gave Messrs. Carpenter and Fox a good character. It seems that the three boys were guarding the still, and receiving their pay in booze. The fact that his own son was aimoung the trio drinking and shouting in the woods caused Mr. Carpenter to have the officers get the still and the men operating it. A bad liquor ring is said to exist in the neighborhood of Windy City and threats' have been made against 15, 1922 Postmaster If. IL Miller of the Hickory postoffiec is eoopeiaiing in a nation wide campaign of the government to protect the American ' people . against fv.'ke and unwise in- ; vesimc-nts and to brin hidden sur plus funds into circulation. The Government is warning peo ple against financial transaction with strangers and advising them to put their money in good securiLies. place their fund.-- in bar.ks. or invest in Treasury Savings Certificates' at the Post Office. It is difficult to con vict swindlers who obtain money from unsuspecting peoole in this' manner until some of the federal laws have been broken. Depai tmnt officials say thev are a;nazeu mat people win pass by a j bank or the postoffiec which offer protection of funds and safe invest ment to hand their money over to some smooth-ialking swindler about whom they know nithing. Post masters' have been called upon by the Department to use their influence in every way possible to prevent the loss of millions of dollars each year through unscrupulous promoters and swindlers. Postmaster Miller says: "I am sending letters to the patrons' of this office, even to those of limited means, calling their attention to an investment guaranteed both as to principal and interest by the United States Government and which will increase 25 per cent in five years. Through this postoffiec it is possible to purchase a $25 Treasury Saving- Certificate for $20, a $100 Certifi cate for $80 and a $1,000 Certificate for $8.00, representing an investment yielding, at purchase price, 4 1-2 per cent interest, compounded semi-annually. If the purchaser wishes to cash his certificate before the end of five years, he can get his money back with interest figured at about 3 1-2 per cent, compounded semi-annually. 1 am hoping the people of this com munity will take advantage of this offer or put their money into a bank as a protection against possible loss."

It is believed that the good citizens of Windy City are about to break up the bad business, and they do not expect to rest, they say, until blockaders and tigers are put out of action.
