One hundred years ago last Friday, May 29, occurred the greatest fire which had ever visited the United States up to that time. It happened in Fayetteville, on May 29, 1831, and the town as then existing was practically wiped out. The property loss was esti mated variously at $1,000,000 to $1,- 500,000. The old State House, three churches, three banks and most other public buildings, 105 stores and 600 private dwellings were destroyed, ac- Hardware store in Aberdeen, and the corcting to some accounts.

Taylor, private secretary to Governor O. Max Gardner since the beginning of his administration more than two years ago, has been appoint ed by Governor Gardner as executive author of two “short ballot” bills, is named private secretary to the Gov ernor to succeed Mr. Taylor. Mr. Taylor is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and studied law at Harvard Law School. He practiced in Charlotte before be coming private secretary to the gov ernor.

The appointments are effective at once. amJ //★ The last act passed provides for continuing the activities of the State Tax Commis.^^on, specifying a study of the listing and assessing of prop erty for taxation. This measure was about to be killed because of the re- I quirement of a two-thirds majority to pass it on its three readings in one day, until Governor Gardner called off the opponents, allowing the meas ure to pass. * ♦ * A last day act was the filing of the report of the committee investigating reports of attempted bribery and cor ruption, instigated by Senator H.

A number'of bills, consigned to the ta ble or other burial place, sought to get out and by, but most of them went back to a long resting place.
