MAI. BLANDFoRD SUSPENDED.

Ordered to Show Cause Why His
Resignation Should Not be De-
manded.
County Engineer r. A. Blandford has
been temporarily suspended from duty
until Monday, when, according to an order
passed by the county commissioners, he
must show cause why his resignation
should not be demanded
The charges against Mai Blandford are
dcrelictiOn of duty in several ways, and
actions unbecOming his official position.
These charges were brought by Chair
man J. j. Dale some time ago but for
some reason no action on the matter was
taken at that time.
At a conference held recently Chairman
Dale again brought up the charges
against Mai BlandfOrd. and wanted some
action taken in regard to them II was
decided best to notify the engineer what
would be required of him, and, accord
inglY. Chairman Dale was instructed to
meet Mai. Blandford and tell him what
the commissioners expected. Two APP
pOintments were made, but Mai. Bland
ford failed to show up.
ThereupOn Chairman Dale had a special
meeting called day or two ago and the
matter was again before the
,5Odrd. Chairman Dale wanted TO demand
Maj. Blandford's resignation uncondition-
ally, and moved the adoption of a resolu-
ton 10 that effect. The motion received
no second, but it was put before the
board and got but one vote, Mr.
Dale's. Commissioner Carson them moved
that an order to the effect mentioned
above be passed, and this was carried.
One of the commissioners said yester-
day that he did not desire to see Mai.
BlandfOrd removed and he hopes that af-
fairs viii take such a turn as will not
necessitate it. Mai Blandford, he said.
is a thorough and efficient practical en-
gineer, and in view Of the fact that he
has been in the service of the county for
so long q time, he thought it would go
hard with the county to give him up
II is said that Maj. Blandford and
Chairman Dale have been at odds for
some time from the fact that his profes-
si0nal opinion has been accepted by
some Of the commissioners in preference
TO that of the chairman. At all events
Mondays session of the commissioners
promises to be an interesting one.

PITS INSTEAD OF TANKS.
Another Way to Store the Pine Tree
Product.

! The failure of the turpentine men to Sc
cure the erection of storage tanks here,
! has brought out "A new plan. Mr.. c. b.
/ Warrand, who has been looking into the
matter, has brought it to the attention Of
naval stores men. 1t is to store the
! crude gum before it is distilled, at the
| distillerv. saving at least onc-half of the
cost, until such time as satisfactory prices
can be obtained.
The way this is done is very simple: A
pit Of suitable size is dug in the ground,
say feet deep, feet wide and as long as
convenient or necessary. The pit is
curbed with rough lumber, also covered
and tiOOred the same way. On top of the
inches of dirt is thrown on,
having only small opening into which
the crude or dip gum is poured. In this
way crude gum can be kept for years with
practically no loss nor any danger from
fire. Some Of the largest fortunes in
North Carolina can be traced to crude
gum pitted in this fashion during the war
and distilled when cXOrbitant prices were
paid for spirits and rosin directly after
the war.
Mr.. Warand believes if the turpentine
operators would manufacture lamp-black
from their dross saud lOw-Erade
resins there would be a big profit in the
business. About Is per cent. of low grade
rosin can be turned into an excellent grade
OF lamp-black, worth at wholesale about
20 cents per pound, or $50 a ton, about
twenty times as much as is now received
for the low grades of rosin. 1t may be
difficult at first to sell the lamp-black,
which is now produced entirely from the
refuse of the distilleries refining pc
trOlcum
There is a combination Of manufacturers
of lamp-black which is, Of course. more or
less controlled by the Standard Oil Com
panY, and manufacturers of backing,
paints and printers ink, it is said. are
afraid to ieOpardize their trust supply by
bidding to outsiders. If. however.
lamp-black is once produced and
placed in the market it will be
sold. The turpentine operators are
well organized and have great deal of
power. If turpentine operator
would produce lampblack he could afford
TO put considerable amount of crude
gum with the proceeds, thereby reducing
the output and forcing prices up in two
ways-by keeping the crude gum tempo
rarily out Of the market and by turning
his low grade rosin into lamp black.

A BLAZE IN LEATHER.
D. P. Myerson's Shoe Store Damaged
by Fire.


D. p. Myerson's shoe store at Brough-
ton and Whitaker streets was damaged
by fire last night. Smoke was discovered
issuing from the cellar about 7:45 o'clock
and an alarm was turned in from box No.
Is. As the alarm came from the dry
goods district the tiremen responded with
unusual promptness, those from head
quarters and Nos. / and ? stations being
on the scene on the third round.
The fire, however. burned with remark
able Tapidity and when the firemen ar
rived a fierce blaze had reached the street
floor and seemed TO be tapping up the en-
tire interior of the building. The doors
and windows were quickly broken and in
less than two minutes a deluge of water
from half dozen streams was pouring
into the store.
Five minutes later the blaze was sub
dued, and within half an hour the fire
was eXtinguished. The prompt work of
the department is all that saved Brough-
ton street from a disastrous cOnfiagra-
ton, because if the flames had ever got
outside the high wind would undoubtedly
have communicated the fire to the ad-
joining stores. The thick fire wall be-
tween the shoe store and w. @, Cooper's
grocery establishment saved the latter
from damage, even by smoke.
The fire started in a lot of boxes in the
cellar near the stairway but the cause
is unknown. When young Mr.. Myerson
closed the store at 30 o'clock everything
was all right. The stock is damaged TO
the extent of about 81 0O0, and is covered
by insurance The total value of the
stock is about Sl5,0O Mr.. Myerson has
been absent from the city since Tuesday
and none of those in charge of the place
could tell the total insurance or the com
panies holding the policies. The store is
the property of Mrs. Hanna Foley The
damage will probably not exceed 81 900
which is covered by a 81, 800 policy in the
Georgia Home

Famous Bill and Nothing of Mr.
Rountree.
Mr.. W. w. Mackall said yesterday that
as the evidence of Mrs. Rowcna Nj Clarke

tiOr TO stating the substance Of it.
The testimony, he said, showed that
Mrs. Clarke knew practically very little
about the bill. and according to her state
ment she had no knowledge or idea as to
what the legal effect Of it would be. She

her attorney, Mr.. j. Lamb Perry of
Charleston and did so. as she thought. for
the protection Of her stock

NOT LITERAL CONSTRUCTION.
Recorder Wilson Dismisses Charges
AGAINST Push-oart Men.

Five push-cart vendors were before Re
corder Wilson yesterday morning for
violating the ordinance relative to stop
ping their carts except for the purpose of
making sales or change. They were pros
ecuted by the Greek fruit stand dealers,
who were represented by Attorney Hey
ward. The push-cart men We're defended
by NJ. A. O'Byrne, Esq, who argued
against the literal construction of the or
dinance which would make his clients
keep on the move constantly
Mr.. O'Byrne's idea was that the ordi-
nance was intended to keep the push
carts from stopping in front of or in the
vicinity of fruit stands. Recorder Wilson
agreed with this view and dismissed the
case. The fruit stand men employed j.
H. Hardee and J. F. Thompson to follow
the puSh-carts in order to make cases
against their competitors in business, and
it was through their efforts yesterdays
prosecutions were brought.
