followers. He was unable to rely, he
continued on the assistance of all his
colleagues, especially Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, but the latter had his
best wishes.

Importance Of Sustaining the North
Carolina State Ffremen's Associa-
tion-Tke Approaching Tournament
at Ralei1h

The following circular letter all
dressed 10 the editor by Mr.. James
d. Mcneil. president Of the North
Carolina State Firemen's Association,
explains itself:
Nav | ask the courtesy of your
valued columns to call the attention
of your municipal authorities and
your readers generally to the impor-
lance Of sustaining the North Caro-
lima State Fireman's Association in
its efforts to protect from fire the
lives and property Of our citizens.
Under laws passed by our last Leg
islature (see chapter 677, Law of
1901 it is now imperative upon the
authorities Of every incorporated
town in the State to organize sys-
tenn of fire protection and inspection,
and to report every fire to the lnsu-
rance Commissioner at Raleigh.
Every citizen in North Carolina is
interested in this subject. and it is
the desire Of the State Association
to leave nothing undone that will be
beneficial to the desired end.
At the Convention to be held 10
Raleigh on July 22nd, 23rd and oath,
matters of very much Importance. es-
pecially to towns having no organ
lied departments, will be discussed
by practical and experienced men.
and it is to be hoped that every town
in the State will be represented. The
Tournament on the 23rd aud oath
will be very interesting, and will
amply repay any one for his time in
attending the same.
The railroad rate from Henderson
is only 95 cents for the round trip,
to firemen and delegates, and ii is
only one fare, $1.45, for the round
| trip to individuals. Local living
rates will be reasonable.
Every Mayor and Chairman of Fire
Committee in the State is invited to
attend and participate in our deliber-
atoms. MAY l ask that you
will urge upon your citizens the inn
portance of having your municipality
well represented.
The slight expense will be money
we'll spent in the interest of the pub
lie welfare.
