GREAT BOILERS BURST
Explosion at Swift's Chicago
Plant Results in Thirteen
Deaths.

Chicago, Dec. with deafening
report, boiler in Swift & Co.'s plant
exploded shortly after 10 O'Clock.
Thirteen lives were sacrificed, and
scores of employees, visitors and Others
were injured. Huge boilers were sent
through the roof of the boiler house
and hurled hundreds of feet. Nobody
within the boiler room survived to tell
the story of the accident, and itmay
never be known what caused the ex-
plosion. A careful investigation, how
ever. convinced the experts that the
explosion was the result of carelessness
on the part of an employee whose own
life was also lost. Five minutes after
the explosion nothing of the boiler
house but pile of twisted iron, bricks
and mortar remained.
Flames sprang from the ruins, and
the spectators realized that it would be
impossible to save the lives of those
who were caught in the wreck. The
explosion was one of such force that the
adjoining buildings were wrecked, torn
and twisted like toys. Men, women
and boys at work in adjoining depart
ments were hurled through windows to
the ground below. Many of them es-
capped with slight bruises, but most OF
the victims were hurt to such an ex'
tent that it was necessary to remove
them to hospitals. The others were
taken to their homes.

North Carolina Forever.
Charity and Children.

Several of our esteemed contempo-
raries are expressing some surprise at
our re ioicing over the fact that the
money which has built and main
tanned the Baptist Orphanage came
out of the pockets of North Carolina
people. And the Recorder thinks this
writer would be hard to hold if our
Orphanage a million or two. Well,
we are not 'hankering' after that
million much, and do not propose to
lie awake nights thinking about it,
but we do feel a good deal of honest
pride in what has been achieved here
through the abounding liberality OF
our own people. We do not for a
moment hold with those good peo-
pie among us who have not faith in
our own resources, but who turn
their eyes NOrthward every time a
new enterprise is proposed. We be-
lieve that we have the men and the
money to do anything that needs to
be done for our own development.
Southern capital is building our fac
tories and opening our mines, as
well as maintaining our schools and
colleges. Did you ever stop to think
that after all the effort that has been
made to touch the heart of the North
with pitiful stories OF our deplorable
condition., how little money has come
this way? A few little schools about
Asheville and through the section
contiguous thereto by Northern Pres
byterians of the Uncle Toms Cabin
variety, constitute the bulk of North
ern educational benevolence among
Southern white people. A good deal
OF yankee money has gone into negro
schools, to be sure, but precious little
has been spent Oh white people. We
wish our own folks would think more
highly of themselves, and little less
about pulling money from the North
to help US bear our own burden. And
we feel pardOnable pride i'll pointing
to the Orphanage as an illustration
of what our own NorthCarolina peo-
pie can do when they try.

in the long run it will doubtless prove
more harmful than beneficial. Booker

eschewpolitics and devote themselves
to learning trades-to making them
selves valuable, even indispensable,

poor example i'll dabbling in politics

nothing in it for the race His course
will inevitably result in his mourning

marked the other day that Washing
