It ia inexcusable and criminal, for the -bulk of it ia preventable. At the re quest of the Conventian of Fire Mar shals of America and the National 'Convention of Insurance Conmusaion- en, Fire Prevention Day ia being named and observed in a Iarge'num- . ber of States by proclamation of Governors and otherwise, and Octob r 9th ia designated, the day of the (Treat Chicago Are. The loss by Are in North Carolina ia practically $3,000, 000 annually, over three hundred dot jars per hour, and more than one-half is" not covered by insurance. 'It is said that practically three-fourths of this loss could be prevented by the exercise of reasonable care. It is cer tainly proper that the citisens of North Carolina should join heartily in the observance of thia day in a campaign for the stopping of this enormous and unnecessary waste. On this day let the property owners personally examine their premises and see that all rubbish and debris like ly to cause a fire is removed. Let them examine their chimneys, flues, pipes and furnaces, and see that they are safe for the winter fires. I ear nestly request the mayors of our cities and towns and the chiefs of our fire departments and their men. and in fact all business men and good citi sens, to spend one day at least in the examination of our cities and towns, learning their Are conditions and dam . gera, and haying every menace and condition wmen- wnT-ring oout a fire promptly remedied. .

Fires bave caused the dcatb of seventeen persons during the present year m North Carolina, to aay nothing of the loss in property. Let tar school Committees and teaches examiee bur school build. ings a to safety from fires and ways or escape in 'ease of nres. Let the boards and superintendents of State Institutions, Hospitals end : Orphan nomea, and other luce Institutions, as well as owners of on hotels, factor-1 ie and theatres, carefully inspect the buildings under their , charge, - and see that all conditions likely to start flres are, removed and that proper escapes are provided) in ease of flres for the inmates entrusted to their care- ' Under, our State Building - Law quarterly inspectors are required in the fire district and annual inspec tions of all building in our cities and towns, and especially , urge chiefs of fire departments and building in spectors charged with this duty, as , well as all officials, property owners, and insurance agents especially in terested, in tbe prevention of flres, to make good use of thia day, not only to improve Are conditions, but to edu cate oar, people to a proper care in flr prevention. , . . , . , Cotton1 Crop Better Than Expected. Stanly .Enterprise. ) . Stanly's crop ofaatton this year will exceed what waa predicted a month 'ago, and will be aa large or larger than that of the past year. An increase in acreage, forty days of un disturbed fruitage, a full maturity of bolls, and good seasonable "weath er for' the gathering- have combined to mak the crop thia year practically a normal one. These were the obser- ' vation of a well-known fanner and cotton, .man of the county. Further more, one of our mill men says tbe , cotton states will abow an enormous yield, and mills are alow to buy even at present prices. .Concerted action on part of farmers in slowly market- " ing the crop, seems to offer the only means for holding the prices up.
