Accident CausecT by Dynamite , Blast on Hickory Road r Wednesday. A most unfortunate and de plorable accident occurred Wed nesday forenoon on the Hickory road while road builderswere blasting out a stump in the way and which resulted in the death of Joe- Presnell. Presnell was hired by Ruf ns Jones for hauling on the road and had only been at work a short time. The road builders came across a stump in their way that was necessary to use dynamite to remove, and when the blast was made ready all hands moved themselves to what any one would consider a safe distance; Pfesnell being among those farthest from the blast. Just after the explosion Joe Presnell was felled to the LOCALS AND PERSONALS. Items of Interest to The: People of Lenoir and Cald well County.

It has been discovered that the waste from dogwood shuttle blocks can profitably be made into handles for steel knives and forks. Contrary to popular belief, forest fires seldom travel more than 2 or 3 miles an hour. Ev en in extreme cases it is ques tionable whether they burn at a rate of more than 5 to 1U miles an hour. Uncle Sam's forest rangers re quire that permanent camp sites within the forests shall be kept insanitary condition. The-ubiquitous tin can must be buried, and waste paper burned when a camp is left. More than 3,000 small logging operators now buy national for est timber; at least 25,000 per sons, settlers, miners, stockmen, and others, obtain timber from Uncle Sam's big woodlot for their own use free of charge. The forests of Corsica, the little island upon which Napo leon was born, are managed by the French government.

' GOV. WILLIAM SULZER.; , the New YoVf .Cnotiwe WKo U Paying The Penalty of Political Dvation. . r (Charity and Children.) It is a hard thing for an office holder to stand against the po litical pressure that is brought to bear upon a man in public life today. It was always hard to do but it is harder now than ever. There is running in the Sstnrday Evening Post a story of remarkable interest entitled "The Price of Place." It shows how a man with honest pur poses, after having been elected c to a place of honor and power,' gradually yields to the influ ences of evil and before he him-, sef is aware of it is "playing v the game" with the rest. He' prostitutes his position and sells his influence for gold. William! Sulzer evidently, started out well. His purpose no doubt; was to maintain his integrity and administer his office in the interest of the people who elect ed him. We say this because of what his friends say about him: Of course this may not be true. He may have been a rascal all ' the time, but however that majr ' be, he evidently ''played the game" and it has brought him Caldwell County Historj. k rru mnot.nat.hp.MA fpa- The series of articles on Cald-1 ture of the whole unfortunate well County and Its People, episode is the suffering of his which Rev.
