AUBREY SIMPSON BURNED
IN FIRE AT KANNAPOLIS
Ftre Started in Warehouse When
Simpson Struck Match and Ignited
Bucket of Gasolene.
Aubrey Simpson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Simpson, of St. Charles
street, this city, an employe of the
Widenbouse Grocery Store, in Kan
napolis, was badly burned Thursday
afternoon when a warehouse of the
company in which he w«s storing an
automobile truck caught fire from a
lighted match in the hands of the
young mail and burned to the ground.
A quantity of gasoline and oil ami
several autotinobiles were stored in
the building, and {he fire spread rapid
ly after the first explosion. Young
Simpson ran from the burning build
ing with his clothes aflame his entire
length. Lee Shuler and Robert Flet
cher, the former also an employe of
the establishment, saw his emerge and
ran to his assistance. *
Confused by the fire that enveloped
him, and suffering agony from burns
i already sustained, the young man
| turned and tied from his companions,
| who gave chase. He was finally ov
ertaken by Shuler, who took off his
own coat and smothered the flames
with it. S : mpson was hurried to the
Concord Hospital. He will recover.
| The warehouse and the automobiles
; and other commodities in it were to-
I tally destroyed. The fire department
lat Concord was called on for assist
-1 ance. This apparatus was quickly on
j the scene, and prevented the spread
of the flames to other nearby builil-
I ings, including a number of fine resi-
I donees, several of which were endan
gered.
T. M. Widenhouse. proprietor of the
burned establishment, is now in Ala
bama as a member of the Kannapolis
voltes ball team, and in his absence
no estimate of the amount of the dam
age or the insurance carried can be as
certained. The building was a.frame
structure, located on Main, street, in
the congested center. A garage in the
rear of it was also burned.
Simpson was driving one of the de
livery trucks, it is understood, ami
find returned to put lii's vehicle up
for the night. He drove into the
building, where for some unknown rea
son he found it necessary to strike a
match. The fire immediately coi*-
munieated with the inflammable ma
terial in the building. This exploded
and burning oil saturated the cloth
ing of the young man. and he was in
stantly enveloped in the burning
fluid.
It was stated by an attache of the
Concord Hospital this morning that
young ijjiinpsou was not seriously
lutnnli With’ th# exceptions' of Ms
hands, his body was not deeply burn
ed.
Simpson was a student in the Con
cord high school last year aiid was one
of the most talented football players
developed here in several years.
Making Progress With Religious Sur
vey.
Good progress i(i being liftule with
the religious survey of the city.
Practically all of the city that lies
west of Union street lias been covered
by ttie canvassers and they are now
engaged in the eastern half of the
city.
It is indicated by reports already
secured that many Concord people
are without church nr Sunday school
affiliation and that hundreds of per
sons never attend religious services of
any kind.
Much valuable information on the
religious life of the city is being
gathered by tile canvassers.
It takes twenty minutes to affix!
Georgia's great seal to a document, |
because of the complicated process of I
1709 still in use, requiring a dye. j
gilt paper, wax wafers, paper war :
era, and ribbons.
Certain restaurants in Lisbon,
Portugal, chaip the knives and forks
io the tables.

l sed to Complete Sewer Line.—
New Law For City.
Sewer bonds of the city of Concord
to the extent of $60,000 will be sold
here on April 261 h.
Meeting at the city hall this week
aldermen of the city decided to sell
the bonds to complete the city's sewer
i system, and set the 20th of this month
as the time for receiving bids for tfie
bonds.
At the meeting members of the
board also passed an ordinance gov
erning the preparation and sale of
milk in this city, the ordinance de
manding tfiat all milk be marked as to
grade.
The grades will be classified as "A"
"Ii" and "C”, thr average bacteria to
determine the difference. The law
specifies that in grade "A" the aver
age bacterial count shall not exceed
50.000 per cubic centimeter. In grade
"B” the count shall not exceed 100,-
000 and in grade “C" it shall not ex
ceed 500,000.
Various tests are provided for in
the law and equipment for making

the milk on the bottle cap.
Persons handling milk sold in the
city must be examined by a health
officer and must not have tuberculosis
or other diseases that can be carried
