Mrs. I.izzie Pitch Hughes, 75, Wai Clutching Roll Of Money After Escape. — j Burlington, Sept. 26—Clutching in cne hand a roll of charred paper money, which it is believed she went into her burning home to save, the body of Mrs. Lizzie Pitch | Hughes, about 76, was found upon j highway 62, early Sunday morning j a short distance from shouldering j ashes of the house near the Ala l mance-Caswell county line. v | Charlie Pitch, a son, is a patient ' in Rainey hospital here as a result ; cf burns he received in the fire. His j back is severely burned. It is not ! believed, however, that his burns j will prove fatal. Awakened by smoke coming from ! a blaze apparents about the kitchen flue, Mr. Pitch and his mother got out of bed and dressed. They were alone in the house and had noth ing to fight the blaze with, that gained headway fast upon the dried framework of the house. Realizing their helplessness, the aged mother and son, who is about 60 years old, are thought to have abandoned the house. In the excite ment, however, it is believed that | Mrs. Hughes remembered where j ghe had a sum cf money and went I back after it, her clotlies igniting ! during the time. With her garments flaming she ; struggled out, across the front yaid to the highway where she slumped ! and passed away before she was found. Mr. Fitch, intent upon res | cuing his mother, or salvaging j something from the house, is like wise thought to ■ have been burnt d j when he made a return trip into the house after abandoning it. First reports that the blaze might have been of incendiary ori gin for the purpose of robbery have been placed in doubt, following an investigation by Sheriff C. D. Story It is more likely, it is thought, that the blaze smouldered about the flue from supper until pact midnight. Mount Sinai News Of Present Week Shelby, R-2.—The members of the B. Y. P.

LORENZO KEEI., II Well, here I urn back again 1 did not think that I would survive the superior editor’s standard. The taily thing that the said editor dul say though was, that it was too dumb to comment on. --o For that well timed and brief comment I thanked the editor with an open heart and made myself scarce In his eyes. — o—- • ’> Now that the second Introduction of this Never Paid Editor.is over I will get down to business. That is, I will dwell on the subjects that come forer ist and crossways in mv I mind. -o First—That long awaited and muchly-wanted meeting of all the Big ChiefE and little chiefs spoken of last will be postponed until after the fair. Headquarters let out this. ———o—— As it was decided that tiie Chiefs could do nothing about^ the wage scale before the fair, they recom mended that the same wage scale be used during the fair, -o—i— In this matter I think that the Chiefs used rare judgment. It would have been a calamity to have ! kicked about the wages and then had a strike cn their hands. -o The fight came off according to the ring’s prediction. In fact in all history the ring has not lost. I was one of the many members of the ring that thought that It was wrong and laid the goblets on Mr. Demp sey. -o After it had leaked out that a few | of its members went against the majority we were brought before the council and now we have only one more chance to keep on the winning side. -o I am going to stay with them 'through all ten rounds next time Now Jhat the World Series is upon US I have been working over time giving out tips. I would advise that all who want to pick a winner in this very great match, to stuay closely the style of play used by .both. See what they have been do ing all the season. How they have jStood up under the strain. Then a fter doing all this stick to the one that you think will win. -o I will name the winner for you next time and then if you are on the opposite side of the ditch from me, you can switch to my side. We will then bbth be sitting on the fence looking at the suckers that are on the ground. -o Ask me not how I am able to j pick the winer. The ring has in formed me. -o At the football game over Gas tonia way last Saturday there was observed , a man from this city, Who had a straw hat on. He was very surprised to find out that he war. the only one with summer still : in his bones. -o “What, eh. Four thousands people here and I am tire only one with a straw hat,” he mumbled. -o-v* }The next day he was seen with a la»t spring hat and no one couid tell the difference from the iate models of fall.

But to hr ;,ur( I always hedge. I find that this is the sure way. Then if asked I nl i ways say that I picked the winner —^-o Hut that game dot's not bring 1 much common irom me. What I would dwell long and hat a ; on is this: Q How can a college with a twcnty j live hundred student body 1m a little one-horse hu b college with eight hundred st tide fits beat them four years in a row. It is a mys tery. ' --—~0 For a thing like that to happen makes one and especial 1 me want to bawl some one out. Perhaps I shall. But ugnin X don’t think that I will. -Q-* It might be like this. The big col lege has not begin tq boil Jet. They did not tyrn on the hot water in time. It is that way some time. Only if it was me I think that I would build the fire about the first ui July and then by September every thing would be rooked. -c While there arc football games, there is going to be upsets. That was what happened last Saturday I am only hoping that an upset will occur this week. ——o The Lnke Segians are In high hopes for their wee team this week against the big Furman. But I have my doubts as also the ring about anything except a victory for them Unless it is an upset ■ I believe that trie best way to get the dope on how A1 Smith stands in his race for Cal's job would bs to go out to the high school gridiron and see hot’ the Protestant and Catholic game comes out. That ought to be a real treat anyway. -o I hear in one corner that the Protestants are strong. Then I step over to another corner and the Catholics are Just as strong. I often wonder. -o These are resigning days for the police force. A tew more reslgnen and the town will be free. For bet ter or for worse. -o I am now closing and if this Is read I will appear again. . --o-— It seems that this never paid edi tor's job is rather a loose one. it is so uncertain. Many now living arc dead but do not know it. By the time a boy is ten he knows everything you have been at Advertise in The Star I Friends Not Alarmed Winston-Salem. Sept. «7.
