Fire at Rayne.

The little town of Rayne was visited
by fire early Sunday morning which
threatened for time to wipe out the
whole place.
Five buildings were burned and thous-
ands of dollars worth of property went
UP in smoke.
The fire started in the second story of
Bruner Bros. general merchandise store
and quickly communicated itself to their
livery stable back of the store. Before
the blaze could be stopped it had eaten
its way to the bar room of George Oudin
and from this building went to the i'm
plement store of E. S. Chappuis.
All these buildings were destroyed as
were the ones in which the Postal Tele-
graph office and a barber shop were
housed and little clothing store next
door.
Bruner Bros were the heaviest losers,
their loss amounting to about $4,000.
1t Is reported they had no insurance.
Chappuis' loss is estimated at $4,000.
The other losseA will amount to about
~, 900, making $4,000 in all.
The fire was discovered about 2:3O
o'clock. 1t was under good Roadway
then. Its origin is enveloped in mystery
and no one in Rayne can account for
it.
call was sent to the Crowley depart
nent for help. The boys responded read
ly, but were compelled to abandon the
dea of rendering the assistance they de-
lred to as the local authorities of the |
southern Pacific refused to furnish them
means OF transportation to Rayne. They

Dwelling House Burns.

The large two-story ten room dwell
ing of VIM. Webb, two and one-half
miles southwest of Roanoke, caught on
fire about eight o'clock Sunday morning
and burned to the ground. Mr.. Webb and
family were visiting relatives near Welsh
at the time of the fire, but through the
prompt action of a neighbor most of he
furniture in the two front rooms on the
first floor were saved. The entire build
ing and the contents of the other rooms
were total loss, as they were covered
by no insurance. How the fire originated
remains mystery, as there had been no
one about the house for three days prior
to the conflagration, but it looks very
much like the work of an incendiary
The loss to Mr.. Webb will amount to
about $1,000,

The Big Sale A Success.

Considering the cold and disa-
greeable day the public auction
sale held in Julesburg last Satur-
day by The Julesburg Commits
sion company was success.
Nearly six hundred dollars worth
of live stock and chattels was sold,
and the prices realized were good.
A large amount of stock that had
been advertised was not offered
for sale because of the scarcity of
buyers. the cold weather prevent
ing many people from distant To-
calities from attending. With
this exception, everything that
had been advertised was offered
for sale and was sold. As an ex-
ample of the prices realized at
the sale the new buggy offered by
White & Wallace might be men
toned. This buggy sold for $50
a price that was satisfactory to
the sellers: it was also cheap
enough to the purchaser, w. H.
Kenney of Sedgwicl.
Another sale will be held by
the commission company in Jules
burg, on Saturday, April Goth
1t is proposed to make the sale an
improvement over the last in
many respects. More stock and
all other kinds of chattels will be
offered, and everything offered
for sale will be sold at some price;
in other words no "by-bidding'',
or bidding by owners, will be al
lowed.
1t is desired that every person,
who has chattels of any kind he
wishes to dispose Of, will list them
with the secretary of the company
Mr.. E. }. Frederick, or with any
other member of the company at
once, so that all may be properly
advertised. The sale will surely
be held on Saturday, April 26,
and it will be bigger and better
than the last.

QUESTIONS ARE ALWAYS IN ORDER.

Some of our readers have been
writing DIR. Burkett in regard to the
questions he has been discussing in
our columns. We take the liberty of
saying that this is what he and other
correspondents like. Such inquiries
indicate interest in what the writer
says and with what writer is not
the interest of readers an incentive
to the best effort2 AS we have said
a dozen times before, whenever you
see an article in The PROGRESSIVE

THE FAULT IN OURSELVES, NOT IN OUR
STARS.

Says the Shelby Star "There are
sixty rural delivery routes in North
Carolina and soon will,b about two
hundred. Every time they establish
one in the South ten are established
in other sections of the country, all
of which indicates that the govern
ment, as presently constituted, is
sorter agin' u.s."
We think the chief trouble, friend
Hoey, is that we are ''sorter agin'"
ourselves in not providing suitable
roads for rural free delivery routes
and in not providing Cor not having
provided heretofore at least) such
educational facilities as would cause
our people to read as many papers
and write as many letters as do the

THE OLEOMARGARINE BILL IN THE
SENATE.

The oleomargarine tax bill will
soon come up for action in the Senate,
and we hope that it will have the
support of both the North Carolina
members of that body. AZ we have
said many times before, North Caro-
lima is admirably adapted to dairy
ing, and those who have the best in
terests of the State at heart should
labor for the upbuilding of the in
dustry. As Commissioner Patter-
son says in circular letter recently
sent to the Congressment from this
State:
ST have long been convinced that
one of the greatest needs of sue
cessful agriculture in this State is
the raising of more cattle, and I am
especially impressed with the favor
able conditions of the eastern Sec
tion of the State for this purpose.
But over all the State our dairy1ng
interests especially need to be en-
couraged. The few dairies which
have been established and are intel
ligently supervised have prospered.
We need fifty times as many. The
amount Of oleomargarine brought
to and consumed here in Raleigh, as
we'll as in the other large towns of
the State, is a shame to u.s."
It would indeed be an anomalous
state of affairs if, with our dairy in
terests just on the eve of develop
ment and our dairy course at the
A. and M. College training young
men and old for the industry, our
Senators should vote to protect oleo
as butter.
