Farmers Warehouse Destroyed Early Sunday Morning. What Threatened to be a most disastrous fire occurred last Sun day morning. About 1 o'clock ihe tire alarm was given and the Farmers Warehouse was 'ound to be in flames, the fire evidently having been burning for some time, as the building was very far gone. i ne nrc lauaies were soon on the ground and we have heard their work spoken of in the high est terms, in fact it is said that never has the department done so effectual rork as on this occasion. At times it looked impossible to save the near by buildings, which vvere mostly frame. The warehouse was owned by a stock company, the building being worth about $5,000, being leased this year to Mess. Ashley & TiN ley. There was stored in the warehouse quite a quantity oF to bacco, all of which was destroyed, most of which was insured. There was only a small amount of insur ance carried on the warehouse building. We have been unable to find out whether the company owning the warehouse will rebuild. The site is very valuable and 4; will doubtless be utilized for business purposes should the company de cide not to rebuild the watehouse. Prohibition Effective. The passage of the Webb liquor bill over the veto of President Taft was a great victory for the cause of temperance and shows the growth of the temperance sentiment in the nation. This is a long step from the days -when Cannon refused to permit such legislation to be even considered. A special to the New York World from Washington says: 4 It was stated that both President-elect Wilson and William Jennings Bryan exerted their in fluences with .members of the Senate andHouse in urging that the president's veto of the Webb bill be overridden. Mr. Bryan sent a number of telegrams to his friends m both branches ur ging them to turn down Presiden Taft's veto. 'President Taft based his ve to almost entirely upon the ground that the bill was unconsti We Want Your We want our store to be your Head quarters for Hardware. WE CARRY .

Come to us for vmir Hardware we want to tutional in that it virtually dele gated to the states control of in terstate traffic in liquor, when he; held that control was vested solely in Congress. Attorney-General Wickersham had given an opini on also holding the bill unconsti tutional. "Supporters of the bill say it. will make effective the prohibition laws of "dry" states, which, they sfly, now are violated, because in toxicants are shipped to private individuals and have the effect of nullifying the local laws, "Only one other time in the last fifteen years has Congress overridden a presidential veto. That was when the Rainey river dam bill was passed over Presi dent Roosevelt's disapproval. " Ninth Cavalry was too Much for Mexican Soldiers on Frontier; Douglas, Ariz., March 3. Four dead Mexican soldiers and an unknown number of wounded were taken to Agua Piieta today from the point on the internatio nal border five miles from here where two troops of the Ninth United States Cavalry fought a thirty-minute battle with Mexi can regulars vesterdav. More w w than 2,000 shots were fired by the American troopers and it is estimated that fully as many were fired by the Mexicans. None of the Americans was hit Neither side crossed the line. Colone Guilfoyle, commanding the Ninth Cavalry, said today he did not anticipate further troubW As a precaution, however, the usual border patrol of the. Ninth Cavalry was increased ;this morn- ng. General Ojeda, Mexican com mander at Augua Prieta. today claimed that the American troopers fired first. This is denied by United States army ofiicers. Lieutenant Nicholson in com mand of the 15 who first engaged the Mexicans, and Captain Arm strong, who commanded troops and when they came to the re- ief of the patrol said today that a volley came from the Mexican side before the Americans fired.

If it Don't Happen to Me" An observer of the proceedings of the General Assembly is struck with the fact that so often a member makes no effort to pre vent the enactment of a certain law, but is perfectly content to sendiorward an amendment pro-J vidinflhat.it fL'hptWKJtO fhS county. He. seems to overlook the fact that it is equally his duty to protect the other counties against bad laws. If he had to consider only his own county, he could stay at, home and trans mit his wishes in writting, This tendency on the part of legislators suggests the story of a .i -j? j certain gentleman, resiaing in alifornia, who did not toil, neither did he spin, and yet he dressed in fine raiment, fared sumptuously and enjoyed his ease. One day, as he sat in the ; park, contentedly smoking his mported cigar, a friend came up and ventured to ask him if he had any code of ethics or rule of con duct by which he ordered his ite. "Yes, sir," he said, bringing his fist down on "the bench with a great thump: lt is this: 1 do not care what happensif it don't haDoen to me!' Slate. Journal.

Will my house be worth more or less if I paint? Say it costs $2.00 a gallon1 Devoe I wouldn't paint any other and $3 or $4 more for putting it on. That's $50 or $60 a 10-gallon job. The money is gone. Is it in the house? Is it all in the house? Suppose I were selling; what should I get for that house fresh painted and what should I get for it needing paint? I wonder why men paint be fore selling! DEVOE Long Bradsher & Co., sells it. Don't let us have to send our collectors to see you, if you do you may look out. Reade Bros. Cb Helena, N.

STREET, Chm'n. during the 4ebate on .the. Webb ebb,. its author, waxed eloquent m describing the transformation wrought in one county ofliis dis trict by the - banishment of the whiskey cure: Ten years ago, or a uttie mo e, ne saia. i stood yonder on historic Kings Mountain, and I saw the smoke of 38 government distilleries ris- t t : ing- .towara neaven. 1 saw no macadamized roads; scarcely a church of any uote or dignity in the entire country; scarcely a school house where our boys and girls might obtain even the rudi ments of an education. I saw saloons throughout the length and breadth of Gaston County. There were only two or three fac tories giving employment to two . or three hundred people. Two! years ago I went back, about ten years after the people had driven out this curse. I found Mcr damized roads in almost every part of the county; I saw magnifi cent churches of every denomina tion; I found school houses in every district of that county, where boys and girls might obtain an education to fit them for their duty in any station. There was not the smoke of a single brew ery, but instead of the smoke of 38 government distilleries saw ascending to the glory or uoa in business the smoke of 43 of the largest cotton factories in the United States or America.
