Last Thursday niht, at 9:30 p'
ock, the alarm of lire was sound
ed, caused by the issuing of smoke
from the roof of tKe building over
the printing office of Messrs: Nich
ols & Gorman,1 on the corner of
Fayetteville and Hargett streets,
an it was discovered that the garret
room of the building was on fire,
the fire having burned through
the roof, of the building and
threatening to (pestroy the whole
building, it not the whole square.
The iire, hook and ladder and
bucket companies were soon upon
The BucketdCompany (col.) were
the first to get water to the names,
and the Victor ErigineCompany
(col.) obtained the first 'stream.
The Rescue Steam Engine Com
pany were promptly on the spot,
but owing to a serious defect in
their hose, were unable to give any
material relief until the placed
their hoseP upon the topoj' the
house. i - !!, . J-
By superhuman efforts, the fire
was extinguished before effecting
any material rdamage, other than
by flooding ! the printing rooms
and material of Messrs. Nichols
& Gorman, who occupy the third
floor; these! gentlemen were
damaged to the extent of some
$50fc The floors were flooded
with water, . necessitating the re

Mr. Torch Light: j
I I see in your last issue, the re
port of Rf W. Harris and J. K
Vood Esqs, 1 who were appoin ted
by the board of County Commis
sioners to examine into; the finan
cial matters of the county of Gran
ville. I confess, I do hot under
stand that report. They say they
find the County owing the school
fund $2,165,17. Does the Treas
urer's book show that the school
fund was deficient that year, $2,
165,17? If his books do not
show these facts, I would 'like to
know how the fact was arrived at
If the Treasurers books were eor
rectly kept and the thing is true;
then, as a matter of course the
books show jit ; but if the books
do not show this state of facts to
exist, then 'I say, it is uncertain
who owes the 2,165,17. The oth
er item of $407.94, as an indebt
edness of the Treasurer is also
unexplained. The committee,
call this matter ot 2,lbo,17 a
misapplication. While: they were
6n the subject of mis-applications
I 'wonder they had not noticed
some mis-applications made by the
Commissioners. I understand
they allowed Dr. Taylor 700,
and M. B. Jones, 1200,
per year, for receiving and dis
bursing the County and school
funds. If this is true they - paid
Dr Taylor 500, and M B. Jones
1000 more than a large com
pensation for their services,
f One other matter' with regard
to the misapplication of the 2,165
17. I understand the school fnnd
has to be paid in, money County
funds are paicPin County Orders
the difference between'cash and
County Orders, nnderstan d is
about one third now one third
of 2,165,17 is 721,62i I accuse
no man. Frpm this committee
report we learn, that, with the
largest Tax ever levied- on the
people of Granville, for six years
not one dollar or the county debt
has been paid, or so trifling an
amount that it is not worth our
notice. : -: I - -.- j
I can tell the people! of Gran
ville there is but one remedy for
all this confusion in ouTfinancial
matters and that is, - to elect five
honest firm, intelligent men, as
county commissioners -men hav
ing substantial interest m the
county. Until this 13 done, times
will be no better.
