Another Carthage
Warehouse Burns;
$100,000 Loss
Smothers Brothers
No. 2 Is Third
In Three Years
(Crowded out last week)
Smothers Brothers No. 2 ware
house at Carthage was totally de
stroyed by fire early Saturday
morning^—^the third tobacco ware
house in the county seat to go up
in flames within three years.
Smothers Brothers No. 1 burn
ed the night of December 6, 1949,
and has since been rebuilt. The
McConnell warehouse was razed
August 6 of this year, and sales
are being carried on in an annex.
This week’s fire was the worst
of the three in that it occurred
during the sale season, with the
floors piled high with tobacco—■
about 70,000 pounds of it. None,
however, belonged to local farm
ers as it had all been sold that
day to various buyers. As it was
on a weekend, no rnbre had been
• •• See your Kaiser*Frazer dealer today! ••••
CADDELL’S K-F MOTOR SALES
U. S. Highway No. 1
brought in.
The Piedmont Tobacco com
pany was said to have been the
owner of more than half of the
burned tobacco, with the rest be
longing to several firms. The to
bacco was valued at about $35,000
and the warehouse, together with
baskets, scales, hand trucks and
two motor trucks belonging to the
Smothers Brothers firm, at around
$65,000. Some insurance was car
ried, but it was not determined
whether it would cover the loss.
Almost entirely destroyed,
along with the warehouse, in the
heart of town, was a frame resi
dence on an adjoining lot. Two
couples occupying apartments in
the home, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Sas
ser and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Taylor,
barely escaped with their lives,
and lost all of their belongings.
The warehouse fire was discov
ered about 3:30 a.m., at which
time the house next door was al
ready ablaze. The Sassers and
Taylors awaked barely in time to
run out in their night clothing.
So far advanced were the flames
that the firemen, bringing the
truck from only one block away,
had all they could do to keep it
from spreading to other nearby
buildings. The warehouse was
seen to be doomed from the start.
It was owned by Hugh P.
Smothers and Reuben Smothers
of Reidsville, who built it only
about five years ago. Its waUs
were of corrugated metal, ^ut
wooden flooring, with space be
neath, and the inside structure of
wood provided plenty of fuel for
the flames. By the next day it
was a mass of twisted metal and
charred sticks and ashes. Next
door, only the front porch and
wall of the burned residence re
mained. Origin of the fire has
not been determined.
The Victory warehouse, which
opened last year, is the only one
in Carthage now which isn’t burn
ed down, or hasn’t a history of de
structive flame.

Compassion
Lesson for November 9, 1952
A re Americans becoming bru
talized? Some thoughtful peo
ple believe we are. As Dr. Charles
T. Leber reports, when his father
and mother read the account of
the sinking of the
4k ' *
Dr. Foreman
Lusitania back
before World War
I, they were so
upset they could
not eat. Now we
can read about
the destruction of
an entire city
and go right on
eating breakfast.
We in America
invented and
used the A-bomb and now we con
ceive the H-bomb. We train men to
kill other men with flaming jellied
gasoline, with knives, with what
ever seems to be most usable and
deadly. We kill people on the high
ways, or we don’t do enough to
keep them from killing themselves,
in such quantities that we don’t
even read the newspaper reports
about it unless some friend of ours
happened to be in the smash. If as
many people died in your town of
polio, or of typhoid fever, as die
in accidents, you would all be in al
most a panic.
A Word We Need
There is an old English word
that is not used often nowadays.
Maybe the reason it is seldom used
is that the thing it means is seldom
met with. It is the word “compas
sion.” Literally, it means “suffer-
ing-with.” When it is said by Mat
thew that Jesus had compassion on
the crowds, it means literally that
he knew how they felt, what they
needed, where they hurt; and that
in his own heart he suffered with
them. Their needs were his needs,
their pain his pain. That is com
passion; but it is not yet the whole
of it. There is something more. An
artist (let us say a novelist) has,
to have compassion, of a sort. Many
novels and stories have been writ
ten, for instance, about bull-fight
ers, and some of the story-tellers
have shown a high degree of imag
inative power. You might a^ost
fancy they had been bullfighters
themselves, as to be sure some of
teem have been. But few if any
of these story-writers have done
anything to put a stop to the brutal
sport of bull-fighting. They feel the
tragedy of the whole business yet
they do not propose to do anything
about it. Compassion, as Jesus felt
it, never was a mere emotion. It
was emotion harnessed to action.
Harrassed and Helpless
The Revised Standard Version
translates beautifully Matthew’s
description of the crowds who
moved Jesus to compassion. They
were “harassed and helpless,” he
says. The interesting thing is that
it took Jesus to see this. Some
could see only that there were a
lot of people, and they took up a
lot of room, and there was hardly
room or time for Jesus to eat.
Others—the Pharisees—could see
only their ignorance; “This .rriulti-
tude that knows not the law is ac
cursed.” Others (as was the cas6
with the disciples on a later occa
sion) realized only that the crowd
looked hungry. Well, the people
were numerous, they were no
doubt ignorant, and most of them
were chronically ill-fed. But the
point is, the people who saw them
in this light did not have com-
pasion, aU they felt was annoy
ance. The crowds were a nuisance.
Jesus felt quite different toward
them. He saw them as they were,
harassed and helpless. You your
self run into crowds, or you read
about them. How do they strike
you? Do they frighten you, amuse
you, annoy yon or make you
angry? The masses today are very
little different from the masses in
Jesus’ time. Can you see them as
they are, harassed and helpless?
And does it stir you to do some
thing about it? Then you know
something about the compassion
ate heart.

CREOMUirSION
The Inmost Need
There is another important fact
about Jesus' compassion. One can
not call it unique, for the best
Christians have shared it. He was
able to see beneath the surface of
thmgs to people’s real needs. The
young man brought by his four
friends to Jesus probably was
thinking chiefly about his helpless
arms and legs. Jesus looked and
saw his helpless soul. The publi
can Matthew may well have felt
sorry for himself because busmess
was bad, or because he was not
popular. Jesus’ compassion went
deeper; he felt Matthew’s real
need—to get away from the publi
can busmess altogether. Compas
sion goes even deeper than sym
pathy; it is spiritual interpreta
tion.

Pompeii was a thriving metrop
olis during the first great persecu
tion of Christians. It is probable
thit many an early follower of
Jesus Christ met death in the amphi
theatre of this very city.
But in 79 A. D. Vesuvius erupted,
engulfing Pompeii in a sea of lava
and volcanic ash.
For centuries, while the once-
great city lay forgotten beneath the
earth’s crust, the followers of Christ
were carrying their Gospel to every
corner of the world. Today, the
ruins of Pompeii are a study in
antiquity; but Christian Churches
lift their spires over every village
and city.
Worldly beauty, power, glory can
crumble. But Faith cannot be de
stroyed.
