VOL. XII. NO. 32 FIRED BY SPONTA NEOUS COMBUSTION - _ Shops of J. L. Woolard Damaged Wednesday Morning —V olunleer Firemen Almost Ex hausted---Bucket Bri . gade cfid Splendid Work Williamston was visited by anoth- | er are Wednesday morning, which J but for heroic work by rhe citizens j would have destroyed the machine l ■ shops of J. L. Woolard and prob : ably other buildings situated near by. The alarm of fire was giveu just before teu o'clock by the ring ing of tbe town bell, atfd the two engines were rushed to tbe scene as quickly as possible. Tbe fire had broken out in tbe building in the! rear of the main shops and is thought to have originated in the I > dip tnb, being another case of spontaneous combustion. J. L. Woolard owner of the plant, had been near the place ouly a few minutes before flames were seen | issuing therefrom. The presence of gasoline added to the danger, J but streams of chemicals from two engine* were soon playing on the I burning building and the main shops. A connecting shed wss torn away, and this precaution I served to stop the progress cf the ■ flames. Water was plentiful in adjacent lots and men with buckets kept the engines supplied, a force l 'purlo in the threatened shops wasj never exhausted. There are noj people on earth who work morej willingly at a fire'than those of' Williamstoii, and though the heat and strain v?s almost exhausting, they didnot tire until ait danger was past.' The entire destruction of the factory would have been one of | great less to the owner, as the de mand for'the Woolard harrow is greater than ever and the force lias been workiug at night to fid 'the orders Repairs are being hastily made and in a few days the plant will be running on tulh time. Damages are estimated to be about sSoo. Saved Child From Death "After our child had suffered fjom severe bronchial trouble for a year." wrote G. T. Richardson, of Richardson's Mills, Ala., "we fear ed it had consumption. It had a bad ccugh .fill the time.

Hospitality (Reported) The "What Happened to Jones" Company presented the play in Edentbn on Thursday night of last week under the auspices of the Civic League, and it was greeted with the largest audience which has been in that theatre for a long ; time. I The play was splendidly present ed, and was most heartily cheered Jby the audience, and the good 1 things they said about the presen tation was greatly appreciated. The hospitality of Kdenton is one that has been established for centuries, each generation, perhaps, excelling the past, and on the oc casion of the visit of the William ston people it was certainly up to 'the standard. The entire party was met at the dock with atitomo- I biles, ai)d each one was carried ; around the town toste its many beauties before he was carried to I the place where he was to stay. I Kdenton is noted for its handsome (residences, and the most beautiful i ones were the homes of the visitors . , j from Williamston. Everything I possible was done for the pleasure lof the guostSf and a day and night i never passed more quickly and j j pleasantly. After the performance of "What i ! Happened to Jones," the social set I of Kdenton gave j dance in com pi i •gjent to the visitors, and Kdenton ! people certainly have become adept j in the accomplishment which has been' practiced in that town for I some hundred years, it being the 'only town in the United States whose Court House ,hat> a Jii'U I room bnilt especially for the pur • pose, m which have danced George j Washington and the Prince of I Wales wild afterwards became George IV. of England EveTy minute of the stay in I Edenton was enjoyed by the "What I Happened to Jones" Company, and j Williamston awaits with eagerness the time whfiu the theatrically in jclined of our .neighboring town (shall see fit to bring a p'ay here, j A hearty welcome will always be | extended. , : _• —— = ' Is there anything in all this world that is of more importance to ■ you than good digestion?

Humane Money "Money in circulation " That's the genuine. It feeds the hungry and clothes tjie nakad. It answers a thousand human needs. It is a present help to the soul that would die on "hope deferred." An hon est old dollar worn smooth learning the iutricasieS of circulation will do more good jn twelve hours than a hundred dollar bill 'giown mnsty in a vault may do in a generation. Isn't that one reason why God should suffer poverty and fools? The poor are obligated to spend and fools know no better. Be tween them they make the small change of the world available and guarantee the success of every sort of business in the land. Take away the factory operative, the mill hand, the washer-woman, every day laborer and financial small* fry, and a dollar circulating openly on main street would draw a larger and a wilder crowd than the great est show on earth.—-Greenville Reflector. \ -.■ WILLIAMSTON, N.

Weeding Out the Dogs ' Wt understand flint Gaston coun ty expects to raise about sS,ooo this year from a $1 tax upon dogs. One farmer's toward the matter was illustrated, at Dallasf when he shot a worthless dog to avoid tax-paying and cheerfully returned the tax upon the two who were of some use. Here, there fore, we have the double aspect of the dog problem presented to view. Taxation raises monev for which there is abundant need; it also tends to the elimination of worthless dogs. Let dogs which are nothing but a public nuisance perish from the earth and let tbe "others pay their way. Problems of revenue, of -sheep raising, of neighbors* undis turbed sleep, of hydrophobia and the fear of hydrophobia, are all simplified. The dog who has no owner or whose owner does not valae him from the standpoint of utility or sentiment at one dollar a year can be very advantageously removed. We hope tha\ more counties will adopt the dog tax and that, with the progress of enlight enment, a State dog tax wilt be enacted before long.—Charlotte Observer.
