Roy and Clyde Rodweil;. who were in the party . returning from Raleigh immediately . arrived. ; The- alarm- was- at -once - turned in and the young men with -the? aid of some members of the fire; company and other citizens of the town who reach ed the -scene; secured the fire hos , connectoxU to two- hydrants, -ancL after throwing a . half ? tank of water,r had the blaze extinguished. Stumbling over . the ruins, two of the gathering, came upon the. -dead body of our townsman Mr. Rufus A. Hawkins. The4 whole'; community is much saddened oventhTe affair. Mr, Hawkins was a high toned gentleman. and his sudden and deplprable death has caused widespread, regret. MrHaWkins was asleep in his office. over1 the postoffice; and: it is presum ed that before dropping off to sleep he struck a match to, light-fiis pipe, and then unconsciously dropped the match to the floor, and then the fire. The smoke must have suffocated him", and when the floor burned through, he fell from a couch to the floor below. Coroner John Clay Powell and his jury returned a- verdict after the se.s sion Friday afternoon of death from suffocation. The evidence submitted by the town Health Officer showing no evidence of foul play. The damage to the postoffice build ing, owned by the Bank of Warren, will total from $800 to $1,000, with insurance. The fire originated in the front end of the building, burned thra about 20 xl2 feet of ceiling, dropped to the floor below and burned away about 5x8 feet of floor, all the box mail, practically, and was marching down the ceiling above when finally extinguished. The return of the crowd from Raleigh was indeed a godsend; otherwise it might have been the block The records of the office and all reg istered mail was in the safe, thanks to the carefulness of our Postmistress Mrs. N. Mcl. Moore. Office supplies out of the safe were damaged to some extent by water, but this loss will be made good by the National depart ment and this loss was slight. Mrs. Moore telegraphed immediately for an Inspector, and he is expected at an early hour. Mr. John G. Ellis states that the Postoffice building will be again ready for occupancy in about two weeks. Until that time the Postoffice is'Tocat ed next to Hunter Drug Company, in the front end of Rodger's 5 & 10 Store Friday the office was next to Miss Ef 6e Ellington; Saturday mailed was dis tributed from the old office building of J. M. Gardner & Co, but since Sat urday night the Postoffice has been situated next to Hunter. The tireless work of Mrs. Moore, Miss Lou Hall, Miss Sarah Moore and Mr. Jim C. Moore," the- town's postoffice force, is bringing order out of chaos, and the delivery and receipt of mail goes on. The funeral was held from the Haw kins home on Saturday afternoon at 3:30. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery after the burial services con ducted by Rev. E. W. Baxter.

The Warren Unioi meeting will be held with the Vaughan's Baptist chur ch beginning Saturday night before the 5th Sunday in March, and running through Sunday night. Complete pro gram will be submitted later. Chairman Graham, Mr. John B. Palmer, Hon. Tasker Polk Make Short Addresses. A number of the War Savings committees in the county met at the Court House here Saturday at 12 m. Rev. T. J. Taylor offered prayer for the success of the work. County Chairman John Graham, called the meeting to order. He ad dressed the gathering upon the work, and urged that the people of the coun ty arouse themselves, that they buy stamps until their pocketbook felt the strain; that they serve in order that the boys who go away have the prop er equipment. Mr. Graham expressed J his confidence in the ability of the County's men and women to subscribe the amount of $20 for each individual. Mayor John B. Palmer, introduced and called by Chairman Graham, told of the desirability of these stamps and certificates as investments. The three surpreme points of security, converti bility and yield, were shown by th.3 speaker.. The stamps are as secure as our Government: they are convertible into cash at any post office in the United States upon ten days notice; they yield 4 per cent interest, com pounded quarterly, netting considera ble more than municipal bonds or loans, on real estate at 6 percent in Warrenton. These stamps are tax free. Mayor Palmer pleaded for per sonal work as the only means by which to carry Warren's total across the mark. Mr. Palmer called Prof. Allen, of the Warrenton State High School to explain his method of start ing the campaign in the schools. Prof. Allen told of having started all of his school's pupils upon the War Savings Plan. He stated that the idea, as he saw it, was to. encourage thrift in the children and to reach tne families through the schools. He thought the idea would take a child seeing his little folio with one stamp and the 15 empty spaces, would be filled with the desire to fill up the card. The idea of saving Thrift Stamps in stead of bird eggs and useless stamps should come, and will with the encour agement of teachers and parents. This field was vone of the most productive for the spreading of this War Savings idea. It it hoped that every school-in the county will follow the lead of War renton State High in placing a stamp in every pupils hand. . Mr. Graham next called upon Hon. Tasker Polk. Mr. Polk told of the necessity for united effort upon the part of our people, that half rway measures wouldn't count. Two prin ciples are contending, said the speaker, the right of man everywhere to shape his laws as expressed in the democratic-idea; the creed that the state i? above the individual, that individuals have no liberties as expressed by the autocratic form of government. Great asxGerman militarism has been, great as America's sacrifices may become ere this struggle is over, I feel con fident, in the outcome. Right and Al mighty God are upon our side never will failure come. But victory can come much quick 3r and without such great sacrifice in the blood of our sons if we throw into the scale our whole weight. Such was the gist of Mr. Polk's talk. The gathering was dismissed by prayer by Rev. J. A. Hornaday. After the prayer, as Mr. Graham requested, a number of the prominent and influen tial men of-county communities re mained in the Court House and receiv ed from Publicity Manager J ohn B. Palmer and Secretary Brodie. Jones large posters and literature upon th3 War Savings idea. The purpose of .the meeting was to get the committee members together and to distribute literature over the county through them. Stress was laid upon individual initiative as the only successful way of securing a county wide participation in the movement. It was announced by Chairman Gra ham that at a subsequent date a lary county mass meeting would be held here. Upon this date a speaker of State reputation would address the people of Warren upon Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates. The one hour session of Saturday was ben eficial to those present, and the War Savings Plan was furthered through the County upon that day. W. BRODIE JONES, y Secretary. 'II
