Represen tatives of -the Jorth .Carolina , Fire Prevention Association spent Wed nesday here inspecting mercantile es tablishments and public buildings. The association was organized about four, years ago to assist in reducing the enormous fire waste in this State and since that time has inspected nearly all the principal cities and towns in North Carolina. The in ispectors here Wednesday were vall special agents of various fire insur ance companies, having risks nere. A large, number of inquiries have been received in regard to the $51, 00Mssue of bonds which the town of Lumberton will sell February 21 and and the stuff was trickling into the gutter before it was noticed. Several people had just passed this spot and a few others were standing nearby, but no actual witness of the tragedy has yet been located. -Evidently the iman who dropped it never even hesitated - to see if the bottle would withstand the shock when it encountered the granolithic pave ment.' but kept moving.
