Is at nine o'clock Sunday night, was
caused by the discovery of a fire in a
back room of Mrs. W. B. Glenn's resi-
dence on Fourth street, West Win
ston.
Mrs Glenn and her son, Thomas,
were at church. Miss Nettie and her
brother, Ashton, were at home. The
latter had retired. Miss Nettie dis
covered the fire by the odor from the
smoke.
The window facing was burning
rapidly and it is generally admitted
that had the fire not been discovered
at the time it was the damage would
have been serious. 1t is believed that
several other houses besides Mrs.
Glenn'S would have been destroyed.
The Winston and Salem fire depart
ments turned out, but the fire was
about extinguished when they arrived
at the scene.

the SAiem Academy for the at

Make .lne Changes
For d number Of years the Salem
Female Academy has made weather
projections in connection with the
State Weather Bureau. Full reports
were made for one or two years of all
meteorological phenomenaS, such as
maximum and minimum thermOme-
tiers, three tim IS day, the wet bulb,
the dry bulb, character of the clouds,
direction Of the wind, barOmetric
readings, rain and snow fall, and 9TH
er phenomena.
During The past summer the State
Weather Service requested the trans
mission of these observations to their
office at Raleigh, the reports includ-
ing Gully the maximum and minimum
daily readings. This request was
complied with and the reports sent.
By means of q later correspondence a
rain gauge was supplied by the Gov
eminent, and to the maximum and
minimum thermometer readings will
be added the measurement OF the rain
fall. The rain gauge, or measure, is d
simple device to ascertain how many
inches Of rainfall, OF what part OF an
inch. The gauge is cylinder about
the size Of a stCvepipe. The top is
circle about inches in diameter.
This narrowS down to d tube one
tenth as large as the top; therefore,
when the rain falls it is received by
the large opening and passes into the
small tube The contents of this
tube are measured by small rule,
and if the contents OF the small tube
measures 10 inches the actual rainfall
is one-tenth OF that amount, or one
inch. BY this means, viz: gathering
in large mouth and reducing to
tube One-uenth the size of the mouth,
it is possible to calculate very small
amounts, as small as ]-I00 of an inch.

The highest and lowest readings for

noise as the distinct firing of artillery.
then came wave motion that made
the crockery apd lamps rattle, and
then passed away as quickly as 1t
came. 1t frightened the people very
much and many started to rush out of
their houses with their children when
there was an end OF the earthquake.
1t was not felt at WILLIAMSON, Rocky

The manufacturing interests shows
a gain OF S40, 164 pounds over the year
preceding, which must be truly graft
flying to every member of this AsSo-
citation. Fully approaching the
enormous and growing demand for
the leaf and plug tobacco Of this sec
tion and the injury which might arise
from lack OF the rich, tinejy fiivored
product of this section and the hazard
to this important trade by being
compelled to use tobacco from other
sections and thereby irjuring the
brands and the trade of this market,
your President called meeting of
this Association for the purpose of
giving such advice to our planters as
would lead them to plant an enormous
crop of tobacco. This was done by
circular, mailed to every farmer in
our section.
The planters have responded to this
advice from US by accepting sour ad-
vice in good faith, and have planted
carefully, and L now call upon you to
respond cordially to them by sustain
ing them as patrons of this market,
and as upbuilders of it, and of your
interests. 1t is your duty to do so
now far more than ever before. and |
call upon you to see to it that our far
mer friends lose no confidence in US,
and | believe you will see to it that
your market is supported every day
in the year. We hear on every side
rumors of damage by drOuth and frost.
and rumprS OF short crons; but by the
foreJhought of this Association in ad-
vice properly given our country
friends, we shall see in Winston the
largest sales and best quality of to-
bacco ever marketed, as seasons have
been exactly right t. produce best re-
suits in tobacco, both in color and
quality and quantity. Let US CON
linue steadily to grow and spare
no effort to sustain our market as we
have ever done.
l have great salts faction in the lust
way in which our laws have been car
ried ont the past year. The amount
of business ia all departments has
been most excellent The growth of
the smoking aud cigarette industry
surprises and delights US and all our
people. The new year brings to us
an outlook of finer prospects and
grander prosperity. / deeply appre-
ciate the uniform courtesy you have
always extended me in the discharge
of my duties.
