A CARD OF THANKS.
DR. and Mrs A W. Knox to the Raleigh Fire
Department

We the undersigned, desire to express
in this public manner, our profound sense
Of gratitude to the officers and men OF
the Raleigh Fire Experimentation in-
divdually and collcctively-for their
prompt and effective work in extiEguish-
ing the fire at our residence yesterday
We recognize the fact, that. but for
their quick and intelligent action. our
house would now be in ruins and we
gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness
TO these gallant -laddies-one and
all-for that we are not homeless this
day We wish them to know how deeply
We appreciate their services, and we
take this method of telling them so.
When an experience like that OF yes
tcrday comes home to us personally it
makes US realize. as never before, the
inestimablc 'yalue of our splendid ere
Department and how much we owe to
these noble Volunteers. And it is not
too much to say that we hope to see--dt
some early day-the inauguration of a
serious and earnest movement looking TO
the organization Of Paid Fire Depart
ment, every member Of which shall re-
ceiyc a salary sufficient to enable him
to devote his entire time and energies
to that service only. For ourselves, NC
would gladly contribute our proper share
of special city tax to be laid for the
equipment and maintenance of such an
organization. Our city is large enough
today for such movement; and if each
individual citizen would but seriously re-
feet upon what this would mean, in the
way of increased protection to himself in
dividually and to the city as a whole--an
the recognition and encouragement it
would give to our splendid Volunteer
Ftremen-the success of that movement
would be assured in advance. II the
fremeu want it, let the firemen have it,.
In concluson.t we desire to make per
sonal acknowledgement. also Of our
grateful sense of obligation TO our eff
cient street Commissioner, Mr.. w L.
Blake. and to many other citizens, aoth
white aud colored. for their individual
efforts at the fire; likewise also to our
many friends and neighbors for their
kindly help and tender of hospitality in
many ways.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The Industrial
Commission has submitted it's final report
to Congress- The first part, which has
been made public, deals with the progress
of the nation, agriculture. mining and
transportation recommendations are
made on the subjects of transportation
and agriculture. The commission re-
commends as to transportations:
THAT the policy of Governmental SUI
pervision and control of railroads, as orig
inally laid down in the Senate Committee
report of 1885, and embodied the follow
ing year in the inter state commerce act
be revived and strengthened; that the
authority of the Interstate Commerce
Commission necessary for the adequate
protection Of shippers, clearly intended
by the trainers of the law be report ed,
ard that the powers and functions of the
commission be enlarged practically as
contemplated in the so-called Cullom Bill
of 1900, except rs to authority to prepare
and enforce a uniform classification.
THAT to further the effectiveness OF
the commission, it's membership should be
directly representative of the various in
tereSts concerned, in the persons of ship
pers or business men. traffic experts Grail
and water). and men Of legal training,
and the number of commissioners should
be increased to seven.
THAT legislation analogous TO the an
Il stock watering statutes of Massacbu-
sets be enacted by the several States.
THAT railroad companies be prohibit
ed by law from making lower freight
rates upon imports billed to the interior
of this country, in connection with ocean
transportation or otherwise than are
made on similar articles from the sea
board to interior. or than are made from
one inland point to another when the dis
ance is not greater,
Prefacing its recommendations regard
ing agriculture the commission says that
agriculture has derived more benefit from
the establishment of the Department of
Agriculture and from its administrative
work than from any other Federal legis-
lation. 1t makes number of recommen-
dations including the following:
That increased appropriations be made
by the Congress for building sample
stretches of improved roads in various
sections of the country, so as to encour-
age the more rapid construction OF such
roads at State and local expense.
That the system Of free rural delivery

PARTICULARS OF THE SHOOTING
Rufus Sheriff. Was Shot Three Times by
Young Lula.

The news of the shooting scrapo at Le-
noir between lawyers has alreadYf been
published in these columns. A special
from Morganton to the Ashevilie Citizen
gives the following particulars of the
affair:
Parties from Lenoir bring particulars
of the difficulty between Dula and Sher-
rill, which occurred there last Saturday
night, and of which there have been sew
eral conflicting accounts in the newspa-
pers Dula is son of ex-senator
Aurelius Dula of Old Fort and was mar
ried during Christmas week. A few days
ago he became involved in difficulty
with young man named Finley iSher-
lill, to whom, it is said. he used very in
sulting language. Rufus Sheriff.. q
young lawyer of Lenoir, law partner of
Solicitor NJ. n. Harshaw, heard Of Dula'3
remarks and sent him word that he
would whip him on sight. On Saturday
night Lawyer Sheriff. and John Harshaw
a son Of the solicitor went to MOretz
store, in Lenoir, where Dula worked
and called him out When Dula came
to the door it is alleged, young Far-
shaw opened fire on him. which Dula
who had been warned promptly returned.
Harshaw was shot in the hand and
Sheriff. got two balls from Dula's pistol
in the chest, one Of which ranged upward
and lodged in the shoulder, and the other
entered the right lung. Sheriff., it is
said. was also accidentally shot in the
arm by Harshaw. Dula escaped unhurt.
1t was reported that Sherrills case was
hopeless but telephone message from
Lenoir this afternoon states that one Of
the balls fred by Dula has been ex
tracted and the other located, and the
physicians now think there is q good
chance of Sherrill's recovery.

ing over the insurance on Mr..
Mccarthy. 1t will be remembered
that Mccarthy was supposed to
have been eaten by a bear in the
Mogollon mountain over year ago.
He carried over $4,000 worth of
insurance, which seems to us a
rather large sum for bear hunter,
but bear hunting may be that
profitable in Arizona. John was

SIGN YOUR NAME.

The News Herald is in receipt of
an anonymous letter complaining
about the haste with which the
body of the man found in the well
last week was buried, and asking
us to take the matter up in these
columns. AS the editor of the
News-Herald went out to the Angel
mine at nine o'clock that morning
and did not return uutil nearly
supper time, and the man was
found, an inquest held and the
body buried while we were absent,
we are not in position to say
anything authoritively. However,
these columns are always open to
the communications of anyone who
has the manhood to sign his name
to what they wish published, but
letters without a signature, or with
an anonymous or concealed identity,
will receive no attention whatever.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Governor Brodie has issued the
Thanksgiving proclamation, which
is as follows;
"In harmony with a sacred custom
of the fathers, and in grateful re-
cognition of the ever present full
fillment of the promises of God. l
dohereby recommend, in conformity
with the proclamation of the United
States, that Thursday, Nov. 27 1902,
be observed as a day of thanks
giving and prayer, and | recon-
mend that the people of Arizona,
as the children of one Father, de-
dicate this day to deeds of charity
and brotherly love, and in their
churches and homes, render praise
and thanksgiving to God for the
full measure of peace and plenty
He has given to our Common
wealth. Let us acknowledge on
this day that the blessings which
have come to us are God-given
messages of His great love and
guidance.
"The treasures of earth have been
given to man in increasing quaint
tiles, the people of Arizona as a
whole have enjoyed good health,
and general contentment, peace and
prosperity have been their portion.
Surely a people SO richly blessed
should rejoice and offer from their
hearts words of thanksgiving to an
all-wise Providence.
GAS the ones most blessed gather
around tables spread with rich
abundance, they should remember
those less favored that they too
may participate in manifesting
appreciation of the goodness and
mercy of our Heavenly Father.
In the year just closing we
should be especially thankful that
Divine Providence has continued
to guide our nation to the foremost
place among the enlightened and
progressive people of the earth"
