New York, March 17.-Flames
which originated from the ignit-
ing Of lace curtain burst forth
from the second Fl Dor of the
Windsor Hotel at 47th street and
55h Avenue shortly after 3 o'clock
this afternoon. and in a few min
utes they had leaped up to the
roof and enveloped the entire
Fifth Avenue and Forty-seventh
street fronts of the hota'. Ten
minutes later the flames were
roaring through the interior Of
the hotel, and all means Of escape
by way Of stairways and eleya-
tors were cut eff, and there was
the widest scene of ex 5itement
within and without the building.
Hundreds Of guests and employees
were in the hotel when the fire
broke out, and for many Of them
to escape was an impcssibility.
Probably from ten to fifteen lives
were lost within half hour, and
thirty or forty other persons
were injured in jumping from
windows and in rushing through
the flames in the corridors and
on the stairways. Many who
we're injured died later at nearby
residences or at hospitals. and
others who made wild leaps to
the sfone sidewalks were so badly
injured that they are sill hover
ing between life and death. It
may be "a hours or more before
the complete list of fatalities
becomes known and il will be
longer than that before it can be
ascertained definitely bow many

There is no doubt that the
loathsome disease which we call
sI1allpox is distributing itself
about this State, and while Ra-
leigh is free of it at present we
cannot say how long this VIII re-
main the case, with the disease in
three or four hours ride on the

A simple preventive and cure,
therefore, is thing which should
come within the knowledge of all
if practicable. If the following is
true it is both practicable and in-
expensive:
We see 1t stated on very high
authority that simple cream of
tartar is not only sure prevent
i've, but an effectual cure for the
smallpox; that it has been SO
proved in thousands and tboas-
ands of cases in England.
A correspondent of the Liver
pool Mercury writes that journal
as follows:
81 am willing to risk my rep

ADVISED TO GIVEUP.
Superintendent Mebane Writes to
Members of County Boards of
Education.

| E0uCaT10n.
The recent L. gisla!ure abo-
lished the Offices of county Board
Of Education and enacted law
creating County Boards of Direc

A number of the members of
these old Boards of County Ed
ucation have declared their inten-

Superintendent Mebane thinks
that litigation and it's conse-
quences will hurt the cause of
public education, and in view of
these rumors to contest and let-
ters of inquiry from members of
the County Boards of Education
Superintendent Mebane has
written the following letter:
"Fo the members of the County
Boards of Education.
"Gentlemen:-
Il write this letter because the
question has arisen in some
counties as to whether the Legs
islature had authority to abolish

Il shall not attempt to decide
as to the legality Of this act of
the Legislature, but want to in
form you that it is my earnest
desire that you waive any legal
| right that you feei that you have
in this matter for the sake of the
cause of public education.
"The work of public education
in North Carolina is bigger than

ture.

in the appointment of the County
Board of Directors was that the

night at Athens, Ga, the former
was represented by Mr.. Edgar
Broadhurst, son of our townsman
Capt. D. j. Rroadhurst, and Mr..
Bowie, while the latter was repre-
sented by Messrs. Doyle and Ty-
son. The question for debate was
"How shall Senators be elected
by the popular vote or by the
Legislature?" North Carolina had
the negative side of the question
the Legislature, and telegram
this morning to Capt. D. j.
Broadhurst from his son Edgar
modestly states that North Caro- =
lima was victorious. This news is a
