Sleeping quarters maintained by ihe city on the third floor of the city hail, are being used with regularity now. In most instances persons us ing the quarters are headed home from Florida, being unable to pay for lodging in a hotel or private home. The city keeps several beds in the quarters and no charge is made for their use. Persons wanting a place to sleep anfl able to show they are not professional beggars are taken care of there by the city. Five strangers were quartered by tbe city last night, police officers re ported this morning. These strang ers. all men. were headed north and east from Florida where they spent all their money after being unable to secure work. Two of them stated they had autos in Florida but had to store them until they can get money enough to run them back home. Otic of the men who spent the night here was a carpenter. He said he had been in Florida for several months but lack of building materials made it impossib’c for him to make a liv ing. He could get plenty of work, he said, when there was anything to work with. Two of the strangers said they drove autos for :t Florida concern but when pay-day came their manager could nog be found. They were in a party that drove 2.500 ears from one city to another but they could not find the man with the money when they reached their destination. These men talked intelligently not only of conditions in Florida but of national and international arY ; s . IV , showing the effects es a training they said they received ill a big eastern col lege. STUBBORN BLAZE IX BASEMENT OF JAIL Dense Smoke Handicapped Work of Firemen Who Had Trobule Reach ing Fire. The basement of the county jail was sightly dauingod this morning when papers and boards used to fire the furnace which heats the jail and e-urt ’house became ignited. Dense smoke handicapped the work of the lire m eu. The blaze was discovered about 9:15 this morning when smoke began pouring from windows and doors of the jail basement. At first no blaze could be seen through the smoke but after the firemen used chemicals for some time they cleared the basement sufficient to locate the fire. Firemen could not get into the basement when they first reached the jail on account of the smoke. Water and chemicals soon extinguished the blaze with Jittlc damage to the build ing. It was necessary to cut a hole through one of the basement walls os the stream of water e< uld be played on the pile of papers and, kindling in which the lire started. Prisoners in the jail were not, re moved as the blaze never assumed serious proportions. ..eward For Slayer of “Dad” Watkins Stanly News Herald. Last week The News-Herald noted mat the beard of County commission ers had offered a reward of $3(10 to the person furnishing evidence suffi cient to convict the person or per sons who murdered "Dad" Watkins and threw his body in a buru'ng barn on the night of October 31st. To this S3OO. Governor McLean lias added S2OO, making the total amount to SOOO. That amount is worth going after, and that some slick sleuth will soon be on the trail of the murderer, there is little doubt, and although it may require some time to secure suf ficient evidence upon which a prosecu tion can be based, yet it is pretty eei-ta'n that the time is not so far ahead when the country may have its eyes on the party who committed that awful crime. It is known that several are at work on the job al ready and certain parties are under the closest surveilance almost con stantly. without knowing it.

MOORE WRITES OF UOI, HARRIS' EARLY WORK Ilk Friend of » Half Century Tolh) Tab's Over Course es Long Career. Charlotte Observer. Now that Col. Wade Harris editor of The Charlotte Observe;-, is enter ing upon his second half century of North Carolina journalism and hi; readers and fellows of the fourth es tate are preparing to celebrate the oc casion. i-mncs C. C. Moore, former Mecklenburg county clerk of super ior 'court, with interesting reminis cences on the colonel's early work as a scribe and a reporter. Mr. Moore is spending a while in Asheville and writes from there. His letter was addressed to the managing editor of The Observer. Colonel Har ris will have first knowledge of the resurrection of his yarn as to the wonderful Cabarrus county pumpkins at breakfast table this morning along with the other readers. “One time a youth at school in the Poplar Tent community of Ca barrus county,” Mr. Moore writes, “was inspired to write to the Con cord Sun. His subject was 'Pump kins and Corn'—on the farm of Col. .1. Shakespeare Harris. He describ ed tin- growth of the pumpkin' vines as being so fast that the little pump kins could not keep up with the vines He said that the corn was so tall and dense that it was dark at noontim* and the lightn'ng bugs were flashint as if it were night. ‘•The communication wnj signed • ‘Wade H. Harris.’ “My next reading after the youth ful contributor was his reporting ti grea- event of much interest in our section —commencement at Davidsor College. I wish I could reproduce that write-up of the oratorical achieve ments of Frank I. Osborne, W. C Maxwell. Tlios. H. Brem, Alex Sprnnt Lash Gaither and others. All of those soared fluently over the head; of the aud'ence, but their efforts weri completely overshadowed in the re !>ort to papers from the brain and per of that same youth, Wade 11. Harris Cock Fight Story. ‘‘Along about 1575, our eentennia' year, young Harris came to Char lotto and began reporting for The Ob server. What he wrote for the pa pers in those days would now be ques tioped as to the truth. It was true however. His report of the cook tigh in the rear of "Our House' was accu rate to the finish, when Col. Ton Black's ‘Flirty Eye’ cock was the vie toe “His description of the fight in tilt rear of Klias and Cohn's store at the t'me Cap Orr whipped four white men and a negro. Cap finally submit ting to arrest to his one-armed broth er Joe Orr. was far more thrilling than is anything on the sport page of to day. “Young Harris did not devote all his time to cock fights back lot fights or to notable affairs on the 'warpath' 'round about. “His vision went far ahead to what cii rlotte would be some day. He m%lo suggestions. He toid what was m-fdetj. Ho pleaded for the right, he condemned the wrong, he was fair and impartial in all his reporting. Always a Booster. "Oner a rival paper took a fling at Wade. My recollection of it is ‘hotel c hit-chat lie does not build a town.' Wade made it a jioi’it to button-l Kile every man of importance who came l« the hotel. He had away of get ting the opinions of those men ns to what they thought of Charlotte. Wade would then boost tbe town on his re port of these interviews. ■'*l have traveled often with him. I hay{ not'ced how, without pencil or notebook he would gather matter suf ficient on a day's trip to fill column after column of description of what In saw or heard. "While he lias always held Char lotta first, lie has been a groat booster of western Carolina and the piedmont section. His information about these has gone fnr and wide and the value of it in dollars and cents can not be estimated. Mountain Series. During the pnsr summer Mr. Har ris so entertniu ng'y wrote of the wonders of our mountain country. Thousands of iieoide had never known that we had such rough but inspiring country almost at onr door. “But who has read the editorial page of The Observer and failed to note the moral tone, the uplift of man kind. the eauttion to parents to guard their children, the plea to the child to live right? I)r. J. R. Bridges in The Presby terian Standard, September 10, wrote: There is our old friend Wudc Harris. He tod, like Saul, is found among the prophets.
