' - -'Wi" - : J 'i . i ,/ ? ??
The local fire company wasJ
called out for real duty Tuesday
night for the fir& time sinoe its
organization some months ago.
The fire alarm was turned in
about 11:45 by night policeman
Moore, and upon investigation it
was found that a lot of cotton
about 25 bales? on the platform
of the Ea? Carolina Railway on
Belcher Street was afire. The
cotton was placed there during
the day for shipment by Mr. W.
C. Askew, for which he had al
ready received a bill of laden,
therefore the loss was sustained
by the Ea? Carolina Railway.
The fire h^d been burning some
time when discovered, but was
soon extinguished ,-^y the local
fire company, which responded
promptly to the call.
It is the census of opinion the
fire originated from the careless
smoking by boys playing atound
the cotton platform in late after
noon.

ties have adopted the plan of

operate with the Board in like
manner as the school specialise
of Alamance, Northampton and
Edgecombe counties.
The Board will keep a record
of school children "whose exam
ination showed some physical
defetf and, in order to see that
the child receives treatment, wilt
adopt the same follow-up method
in Sampson, Nash and Pitt coun
ties as in the other counties
where the medical inspsdion
campaigns will be conduced by
the Board. The whole lime
health officers, however, will be
able to give only two or three
days in the week to this work
whille in the other counties the
special^ will give his entire
time.
With these -counties adopting
medical inspection for their
schools it is expccted that by the
end of the school year that ten
cz morS counties will have been
given the benefits of this com
bined educational health work.
