No 106 Stubborn Blaze At -Depot Works $31,000 Damage. Fire Of Unknown Origin Burns Timbers In, Cripple Creek , Trestle. A stubborn underground fire, feeding on the heavily creosot ed pine timbers of the low tres tle spanning Cripple Creek for a distance of nearly 200 yards, in the main depot section, roared and crackled all yesterday af ternoon to the accompaniment of hissing water from 21 hose , lines and frequent blast of dyni mite, and when the last tiny flame had flickerek out at 9 o'clock last night, railroad offi ciais estimated the damage to railway property alone at $31 , 000. ' Insurance Inspector D. M. Moore, who arrived last night will make his report some time today, after an examination, and it is believed by old railway men and the officials that his . estimate of the damage will not be far from the above figures, which is considered very con- ' servative, The ' trestle, averaging eight feet in height and 15, feet in width,' passes under the Silver Moon Cafe, Depot Street, the buildings of the Southeastern" . , Express Company, a, section of the Asheville Grocery Company the dining room and north end, of the main depot building and the yards of the Southern Rail way. " ' , A stTong wind from the South saved the main depot building, and possibly the entire section. In addition to the railway's loss express company officials last night said their loss of $2,500 express would not be over $1,000 while H. C. Johnion, owner of the wholesale grocey,rould not attempt to estimate the injury to his goods from smoke and water. The grocery building was so filled with smoke last night that it was impossible to make an estimation, he said. The fire originated in the cul vert in an unknown manner, near the express office. The creek is nearly Jry, and the blaze quickly spread , through practically the antire length of ' the culvert. . " - Bio; Pine Honor Roll.

S t The Baptist Of phanage and Thanksgiving. The Baptist Hosts of North Carolina have been accustomed for a long time to make Thanks giving he occasion of express ing their gratitude to God for the blessmgs of the whole year, by 'sharing their bounty with thev orphans He has entrusted to their care, Certainly this is one phase of pure religion. ; In the care of Mr M. L. Kes ler at Thomasville, N. C. is one of the best orphaneges in the land, in which there are 543 or phan children. Including school the average cost of each child for a year is $230. . The expense bill of the plant is a little more than $343 a day. A steady sour- comes from about a thousand; Sunday schools that send in the offering for one Sunday in each month. TJiis is not enough, how ever, and money has to be bor rowed to run on through the year. Then in November, which is orphanage month with North Carolina Baptist, the people send in theft Thank Offerings, and pay off the bills. The plant at Thomasville, though good, needs improve ment and enlargement, for near-1 ly fifty children who ought to be in the orphanage, are turned away, oftentimes, in a. .single month Our support determines the number that is taken in, and the number-turned away. The Baptist who does not do his' bit in supporting the orphaffage, in a very real sense, turns orphan age children from his .door. An effort is being made : to reach every church t and pastor in Madison County ; with infor mation about t,h,e orphanage, and a request that they all join in a Thanksgiving offering for these orphan children. It has been suggested that ever church in Madison County, could send an amount equ'al'to 50c for ev ery member on its roll, and that it might be sent to the orphan age this month. If the matter is presented to all the people in the right way, and if the good people get it on their hearts, it can be done.s , i -.'.

The forest fires now sweeping through thousands, of acres, in this territory should be a, uffi-v cient reminder to legislative candidates and the people in general of the necessity of aug menting the forces of forest-fire fighters. Fifty fire-wardens in Haywood County, aided by the crews of lumber mills and by farmers, have saved much tim ber from destruction, but much irreparable damage has been done. In the Crestmont section, fires are still racing through some of the finest merchantable timber in the Appalachians. , The Forest Service has learn ed to practise renewed vigilance at this season, when the wood lands invite hikers and campers with a summons that is not of fpn rpfusftd From camn fires. from cigarettes and pipes and carelssly thrown matches, an astonishingly large number of disastrous conflagrations a r e started The period of most splendid beauty in the woods is also the time gravest . danger that this beauty will be despoiled;.-:?: ;v;;:,r; ,vo- If the forests of Western N. C. rich in merchantable timber and in attractions that make this region famous,are to be conserved, .there must be in creased legislative appropria tions for fire-fighting, there must be an end of carelessness among those who find recreation and new zest for living in their va cations in the woods. If North Carolinians of to-day do riot pro tect the forests,, coming genera tion will write us down as the prodigal wasters of a great in heritance.

Johnson City Tobacco Market Opens Nov. 29 Burley Crop Will Average BIgh Mr. Evan Rees proprietor of the Washington County Tobacco Warehouse, Johnson City Tenn., stated this morning that the date of opening sales had been defi nitely decided on and that Wed nesday Nov. 29th was the day set upon. Everything is in readiness said Mr. Rees, for the biggest and best season the local market has ever had, and .this means that the farmers of this section will get the benefit of the fine crop they have, and will receive pric es fully as high as last year with a possibility of even higher pric es -as this is a good . clean crop and of a character that is always needed by the manufacturer. There is no crop on the farm that will pay more to the acre than ta tobacco crop and tha prices that will prevail this year and for years to come should justify from 2 to 5 acres on every farm i n Washington County, North Carolina and Southwest Virginia the manufactures like the type of Tobacco grown here, it has good Smoking and Chew ing qualities and if the farmers will co operate there is no rea soamiha world why this section should not produce 30 to 35 mil lion pounds each year there is positively no chance for an over production, the demand is grow ing greater each year and it is only in a limited territitory where Burley Tobacco can be grown successfully.

Tuberculosis is on the increase in Madison County. The records from the State as a whole show a saving of 300 lives last year over the year previous, but our county has not kept pace with the rest of the State on this parti cu lar field. Fifteen out of every hundred who died last year were farmers. In actual ' numbers there were 388 who died of this disease. This is, herhap3, not startling to a great many people who believe that,- like the poor, we must al ways have tuberculosis with us. The fact is, however, that each and every one of these deaths was preventable and such ' an enormous loss among our farmers should stir us to action, v Another significant fact is that more deaths occured among the farmers than occurrred among thoso who are engaged in indoor work, such as teachers, steno graphers," bookkeepers, clerks, mill workers, etc V the number of deaths among those engaged in such occupations beind 310. !
