Gufforo Govcrp Logo by.Firo This morning soon after 5 o'clock fire was discovered in 'the large machinery room of the High Point Furniture Co., own' ! ed an operated b'y M. J. Wreen. t The alarm was given at once and the firemen were on the spot in '; a few mintu'es afterwards, but so 1 rapidly had the flames spread that I the whole interior was ablaze ! when they arrived. It was seen -at once that this building was j doomed and the firemen turned ! their attention to adjoining prop ' erty. The large brick warehouse nearby was saved, it being only slightly damaged. Fortunately ; the wind was blowing from the J west which made the work of the firemen much easier than it would have been otherwise. ! The loss was very heavy while i the insurance was compara i tively small. - Some have ' put the estimate of gross loss as high as $50,000, and Mr. Wrenn has the sympathy of the community on account of the loss. This is the first furniture factory erected in High Point, which has grown and prospered from year to year. It is highly probable that a new" machinery room will be erected as soon a , the debris has been cleared away. , The origin of the lire is un : in. The watchman had go u back to start the lire under the boiler when suddenly his atten tion was attracted bv a light in ! the front part of the building, lly the time he could get to it. it was 1 eyond bis control. I The firemen did splendid work. o A CARD To mv friends and voters pf the 1 Progressive City of High Point:' The undersigned has been placed on your ticket for alder man. 1 regret to say to you good people, it would be im (ssible for me' to serve, if I was elected. When I was approached by a number of your best and progres sive citizens, r thought then I could serve you, but within the last few days other matters of in terest have come about, which will take so much of my time, that it will be impossible for me to give the attention to the wel fare of yourity, as 'is required of an alderman, and therefore it is my request that you place some othcr.gentleman on your ticket. . : ' ; ' '. , Let me thank you for consider ing me worthy to be capable to serve you.

The" accident occurred alwut 4.45 o'clock. Mr. Houston was arrested and later released on $5,000 "bond, the charge being manslaughter. Miss King, the victim of yes terday's tragedy, 'was a daughter of the late John King. She is sur vived by two sisters, Mrs. Kverett V. Moore of n 14 South College street, and Mrs. Clint Mayberry of Taylorsville. She was born and reared near Mooresville, in Iredell county, and had been a resident of Charlotte about nine years. For the past two years she has made her home with the family of Mr. and Mrs. L C Burwell, who had become much attached to her and who were deeply grieved at her untimely and shocking end. It was persistently' reported af ter the accident that the automo bile and the motor fire truck were racing; this has also been denied. They were on opposite sides of the street and were headed in the same direction. " Conductor I'urr of the trolley said that in his op inion the automobile was going 40 or more miles an hour.
