WILL AID FARMERS
Weather Forecast Sent OUT on
Rural Delivery Routes.
Mr.. Norman B. Corgar, inspector For the
Weather Bureau, Tells How it
Works.

Raleigh has had in its borders for the
past few days Mr.. Norman b. Conger,. of
Michigan, who is an Inspector for the
United States Weather Bureau.
Mr.. Conger is a most entertaining
talker and has many interesting stories
to tell of the Weather Bureau. Just
now he is deely interested in the special
value to farmers of Rural Free Delivery
routes in furnishing them advance fore
casts of the weather.
1.-THE Department said Mr.. Conger,
lis now issuing forecasts for two days
in advance, and by means of the Rural
Delivery we are able to aid the farmers
by advising them of changes in the
weather SO that they can protect fruit
and vegetables"
1T is astonishing" he constituted, "how
much this will amount to. About a month
ago in Florida advance notice was given
in the orange district and $4,000 was
saved in the growing crop, while the
trees were saved"
Mr. G. F. Won Hermann, who was
with Mr.. Conger here, said: Yes, and
there's an instance nearer home when
some time ago in the strawberry section
there was two to three hundred thousand
dollars saved by means of advance warn
ing of frost, which enabled the growers
to save the crop"
Speaking of the service by the Rural
Free Delivery. Mr.. Conger stated that it
was being done only by the courtesy o.
the postmasters, who recognized the
value of the service The great value of
the forecasts, he said. was TO the far
mer, and the Bureau has been working
for years to get their forecasts direct to
the farmer, thing that is now coming
to pass by means of Rural Delivery.
Mr.. Won Hermann made this interest
ing statement:
There are now in North Carolina
seven routes on which forecasts are sent
out. These go to III different localities
aud reach many people. We are now in
correspondence with postmasters and
expect soon to have the weather fore
casts sent out on fifteen or twenty more
routes 1t is difficult to get the work
started as there is no pay attached to it,
but we expect to get it going, and in
crcasing as the rural routes increase

Chicken Thieves go to Jail,

The two negro boys. Tom Scott and
Tom Edwards. and the negro storekeeper
John Nicholas. arrested Wednesday night
for chicken stealing, were before His
Honor the mayor yesterday evening at
6 o'clock. and were sent to jail in de-
fault of two $25 bonds. Tom Scott and
Tom Edwards were charged with lar
ceny. and John Nichols with receiving.
1t seems that John Nichols. who keeps
a store on North Harrington street, took
the chickens off the BOYS hands and dis
posed of them. There is no doubt that
this is the gang that has been operating
quite extensively for some time among
the poultry population in the northern
part of the city.

THE RECTORY ON FIRE
Property of Church Of Good
Shepherd in Danger.
Fire ard Water Did Damage Amounting to
About Seven Hundred
Dollars.

But for energetic work by the Raleigh
Fire Department yesterday shortly be-
fore noon there would have been great
loss to the Church of the Good Shep-
herd, and to DR.. l. Mex. Pittinger.
1t was nearly twelve o'clock when
flames were seen issuing from the roof
on the west end of the rectory, situated
at the corner of Mcdowell and Morgan
streets, adjoining the church. When
first seen the flames were fast bursting
through the shingles.
The building is of Wood and is two and
half stories high. The flames grew
fiercer and were in full force when the
fire companies arrived. Immediately
ladders were thrown up and hose was
dragged in through a dormer window.
The firemen with axes made an OPEN
ing inside. and water was shot into the
flames. On the outside similar work
was done and the flames gotten under
control.
In doing this an immense amount of
water was poured in under the shingles.
This gathered in a perfect pond in the
upper room and then began pouring
and ceiling were badly damaged and car
pets soaked, while all the furniture was
transferred to the east side of the house.
The rectory was insured in the Ro-
chester German Company for $1,250 and
the furniture was insured in the Helvetia
Swiss Company for $1,000. The loss is
estimated at from $500 to $500 by the
insurance men present and Dr. Pittinger
judged their estimate to be about COR
rect. Seven hundred dollars is fair
vauation of the loss.
The fire started in the roof above an
attic, and its origin is unknown. A de-
fective 1ue. matches and rats, and the
electric light wire have all been sug
gested, but what caused it is unknown
DR.. Pittinger was the only member of
the family at home when the fire broke
out. Mrs. Pttinger being out shopping
and Miss Louise Pittinger being with her
class at st. Mary's. The fire was dis
covered by parties on the outside.
Friends in the neighborhood offered
the epurtesies of their home to Dr. Pit
finger and family, and much sympathy
was expressed because of the loss and
Inconvenience caused by the fire.

Feeling that there was something do
ing" in this notice, tour of investigation
was entered upon. and the following in
formation was cleaned:
There was meeting of the directors
of the Auditorium Company held yester-
day afternoon, and the failure to secure
the building of an auditorium was fully
discussed.
1t is understood that the meeting no.
tice of which is printed above. was called
by the directors on application of many
of the stockholders, to consider the ques-
tion of dissolving the Auditorium Com
pany. and returning the funds subscribed
to the stockholders who have paid in
their part of the fund on hand.
Many of these stockholders feel that
ali possibility Of an Auditorium has
vanished. and some of these desire to
turn their money into the project for
tobacco market in Raleigh.
OF course there is no expectation of
concerted movement to divert all the sub
scription to this purpose. If it is done
it will be only by the individual option
of the stockholders who desire to invest
in this manner.
There is on hand between six and seven
Thousand dollars Tor the Auditorium.
This money is doing no good to the in
dividuals who subscribed it. In fact, as
one said yesterday, some are s. losing
money. One gentleman, speaking of this
said that he was out SIS year on inter
est alone, because of the amount locked
up.
What will be done at the meeting is
mere conjecture. There are some who
will. oppose the dissolution of the Audi
torium Company, while some are for it,
and as these divergent views are going
Go be expressed the meeting promises to
be lively and interesting one.

from the Executive Department regard
