Numerous Conflagrations, Valuablo Stock " Destroyed , Raleigh, Jan. 13. Insurance Com missioner James R. Young, in talking with your correspondent had the fol lowing to Bay regarding fire insurance, or more properly fire losses for the year 1905. "The year 1905 closed with heavy fire losses; $175,157,800. ; This is the amount as shown by the records compiled by the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, and is the largest in any one year except those of the disastrous conflagrations of 1871, 1872 and 1904. ' There were especially large fires in 1905 and the loss is- to be accounted in the unusual number of fires and the increased . valuations of stocks destroyed. . The losses in 1904 were $252,364,000 and in 1903, $156, 195,700. The year 1905 had the confla grations of Baltimore and Toronto.' The December losses for 1903 were $15,276, 600, or over $4,000,000 less than for the same month in 1904, During 1905 there were 3363 fires where the losses reached $10,000 or over, and 16 fires where half a million was In vol ved.or even more than that amount The general wave of prosperity sweeping over the country has so greatly increased the values that the j ear has been a' good one fromthe underwriting - standpoint, . notwith standing the heavy losses."

Ward presiding in Wake county Superior court remitted fine imposed on William G. Boylan of Raleigh yesterday for absence . from court.' The case of the State vsLillistonand Clark for the alleged murder of George W. Smith, of Petersburg, Va.. seems to proceed slowly. Evidence so far ad duced is of a contradictory nature, not withstanding the high character of wit nesses. The supposition now is that several days will be consumed in this trial. There are many technical details a to the location of the spot where the tragedy occurred in the Union station and the diagram prepared by an archi tect here seems of itself a puzzle to some witnesses. So far only six wit nesses have been examined .and the strictness of court procedure a being preserved.

The whole of the week from Monday the 22nd to and in cluding Friday the 26th will be given over to the examinations. These ex aminations are held twice a year; in January and May and the promotions at tno cione 0f the year are based on the two examinations. In making up Jthe pupils final grade two thirds of the recitation grado is taken as a basis and I to this is added one third of the exami- nation grade. This is the plan of grad- snfir usually used and puts stress on the daily work of the pupil as well as cn the examination.. This week at school is being used as a review week and a 'thorough review is made of the work for the past four months. Every pupil in school should be present this week and go over the review work in order to be ready for next week. Every pupil in the schools should bo presentjevery day next week, and it is hoped tftat the parents will send the children to school unless they 'are too sick to come. . ,, , One of the greatest draw-backs to the school work at present1 is the very irregular attendance of some pupils. Every day quite a number of boys are absent and for no good reason. At times the excuse given by the parents is that they could not make the boy go to school, and so he loafed the streets for the day. If the parents would only send the children to school everyday, at least 23 per cent more work could be done in the year. ' This standard is used at school regular attendance and steady, constant work are the only basis on which a child may be promoted. When he comes every day and does each days work then nothing can keep him from being promoted. Those who do neither of these may expect noth ing. ' -' . About February 1st the High School will issue a High School Magazine of some 40 pages.

ENGLAND KILLS PROTECTION Great Political Upheaval Commence. Uulon- Ist Party In Retreat London Jan. 15. "We have killed protection. This is the beginning of s jch a political upheaval as has not been seen in England since the days of the great reform bill Manchester has saved herself by her exertions, she will save England by her example." Thus spoke Winston Churchill Satur day nicht. and his opinion that free trade has gained a victory is the opin ion of more responsible of the Unionist newspapers, though many of them at tempt to explain the result of the elec tions of Saturday as due more to ques tions like the Chinese labor in South Africa, war taxation, etc Nowhere, however, is there any hint at minimiz ing the hurricane that has overtaken the Unionist party, or a suggestion of doing anything but to beat an orderly retreat and Bave what is possible from the rout. The question now uppermost in all minds is what fate will befall Joseph Chambtrlin at Birmingham. The Morning Post editorial points out that the temporary prosperity of the cotton industry, may have made Man chester slow to accept even Balfourian measure of tariff reform. It says that should Birmingham follow the example of Manchester, the meaning of the country's voice would no longer be a matter for the slightest doubt. "TV rt I' HACKBURN'S STORES.
