SECRETARY.
.TWO MOEEFiaES,,-:
Residence in i Rowan Destroyed by
FireBarn Burned in Ho. 3 Town
Ship. Mr. S. O. Eddie man yesterday
received word that die residence of
his brother, Mr. L. A. Eddleman, who
lives near Ebenezer church, in Rowan
county, was totally destroyed by fire
last Monday morning about . six
o'clock. Mr. Eddleman and' family
Were eating breakfast, when they
heard something falling on the- floor
in a closet. On investigation they die-
covered a fire' burning in. the closet,
and the noise was caused by hams
dropping on the floor as the strings by
which they were hanging burned in
two. : The fire spread so rapidly that
they saved very little of ihe household
and kitchen furniture. The hpusb and
smokehouse were both destroyed. The
house was a new .one, just completed
last fall, and was a two-story one
with seven or eight roomi. There was
about $500 insurance on the property,
but the loss is probably four times
that amount.
Another Barn Burned.
- A barn belonging to Mr. Jim John
son, of No. 3 township, was destroyed
by fire Thursday morning about 1
o'clock. A eow, a lot of feed stuff and
farming implements were burned. A
horse was also badly burned but was
rescued in time to save him. The ori
gin of the fire is unknown.
: Mrs. James McTEachren is visiting
relatives in Charlotte.

AMemm
Score another enterprise for Concord.
Despite be habitat knockers and
chronic kickers Concord, is fast ad.
vaneing in the march of industrial
progress. A telegram was received
from Mr. Sidney Kenny, of Phila-
delphia, stating that he had accepted
the gas franchise, as amended by the
the committee from the board of al
dermen,
The only changes made from he
original franchise was to limit it to
sixty years instead of making it per
petual, and to allow a maximum rate
of $150 for the first 25 years and at
the expiration of that time the alder
men would have the authority to re
duce this rate, provided the business
of the gas company justified it.
. Under the terms of 4he franchise
work is to begin within twelve months
and the plant must be completed along
the principal sctreets of the city with
in two years. Mr. Kenny agrees to
put up sufficient bond for the fulfill
ment of the terms of the franchise and
to insure the city against any loss that
may be sustained to its streets by es
tablishing the plant.
Mr. Kenny and associates are ex
pected in Concord within a few days
to go over the situation with a view
to beginning operations While they
have two years to complete ihe plant,
they will no doubt have it in opera
tion within one year.
