Firemen Called to Carlton Mill Where Lightning Struck During Storm. Sunday afternoon ( 'hen yville .] suffered oily of the wor-t elect ri- 1 cal storm- in its history, contin uing for several hours. Described by Duke Power Coy, j j official here, it was tile “hittest" electrical storm this section has seen in many years, the combined thunder, lightning, wind, hail and rain wrought very little damage in this immediate section',' but in other parts of tiaston and Cleve land counties. the damage was es timated very high. Lasting for several hours, not letting up, the siorm brought the heaviest play of lighting seen in many years. Lightning scored a direct hit on one of the motors at the Carlton mill. Fire blazed up. City firemen 'were called out in the heavy elec trical storm in driving rain to the tire. The flames front the motor were brought under control ami it, was discovered fire was in the I lower part of the mill, this blaze ! was also quickly extinguished.

CORRECTION Due to an oversight in the write-up in regard to Alemorial Day services held at the ( itv Park 'on Tuesday of last week the name of Mrs 'Joseph A. Whitesides, .If., was omitted from the list of those I present to receive certificates and jC.old Stars. Airs. Whitesides was I formerly Miss Alarjorie Eroneber ,ger of Cherryville. We appreciate the fact this has been called to 'our attention and are glad to make this correction at this time. Notice To Holders ‘ B” And “C” Books The local rut ioniiiti' board wants to take this means to clarify a misunderstanding which has arisen in regard to the procurement of tires for holders of ''11" atnl "('" gasoline ration hooks. Although there has been quite a hit of.pub licity in the pallet's and on the radio stating that ladders of: these hooks now could obtain No. 1 tires, the tire allotments for the local board have not been increased. This means that the local hoard must still exercise discretion in e rant ina requests for tires. Only those persons holding "11" or hooks who haul passengers to work ill essential industries or those whose work is considered essen tial are to he allotted first grade tires. J’lease hear this in mind when making application for new tires as the local hoard can not ex ceed the quota allotted them each month and the rationing officials do not want the public to think that they are being denied some thing which is due them.
