Heat So Intense That Fire Force Was
Not Able to Stay the Onward
Rush Of the Flames

Especial to News and observer)


Greenville, N. c., July 2.-[2 o'clock a.
MI Greenville is in a mass of flames
The skies reflect the burning radiance
and the town seems doomed.
Burning shingles are flying in the air
The heat is so intense that the burning
buildings now on fire can't be saved and
every effort is to save those not yet afire
The loss at this hour looks as if it would
amount to over 100000. At this hour
with the flames cracking and roaring it
is impossible to say where the fire will
stop.
We have no waterworks here and ouI
sole dependence is on one engine and ouI
hook and ladder company. The men are
doing all they can, but they are almost
powerless in this havoc of fire.
- Already there have been destroyed:
The Farmers Tobacco Warehouse.
German & Wright's Tobacco Factory.
Parham's Tobacco Factory.
Jordan's Tobacco Factory.
Zeno MoOre's residence.
Mrs. Mile Harris residence.
Policeman. Smiths residence.
The Beef Market.
-Four negro houses
Sever0 tenant houses.
Besides these there is great danger thai
the Christian Church will be burned. ant
it looks now as if the King House is il
danger.
1t Is the greatest and worst fire that
GreenVille has had in its history. AS
look out on the sea of flames it seems al
1.-THE world was on fire and no one knows
where it will stop. The entire tobacco
section of the town is in serious danger
and this means an immense loss to our
people, as the contents of the factories are
also destroyed.
The FIRE is said to have started from {
stove II a small restaurant. The building
quickly caught and the flames were soor
seething and roaring.
OF the great loss that has already come
and that is prospective. it is not know
what amount OF insurance is held. At this
hour of the night despite the flames ther'
IS one gratifying feature. and that is tina
no lives have been lost.
$50 a. m-The fire is now reported t.
be under control. though the flames ar
still bright and vivid. 1t is now believed
the losses win not exceed $4,000.

ATTEND THIS YEAR
Public School Teachers Must
Go TO Institute.
The Advantages of A. & N. Summer School
is Named and Is Recommended TO
TEACHERS.

The public school teachers OF North
Carolina must attend techers' institute
or summer school this year.
1t is not optional. 1t is the law. If this
is not done then it will be impossible for
the public school teacher not doing this
to obtain certificate to teach
The school law of North Carolina passed
this year requires public school teacher
to attend some Normal School every
other year The law is not retraoact.
i've law, and as it was passed in 1903 it
does not apply to 1902, but teachers who
attended normal institutes in 1902 must
attend again this year if they would obtain
their certificates.
This is set forth in letter from State
Superintendent Joyner to County Superin-
tendent W. G. Clements, of Wake coun-
ty, which applies, in so far as attending
normal, to every public school teacher
nj the State. The letter to Mr.. Clements
calls the attention of the public school
teacher of Wake county to the value of
the A. and NJ Summer School, and reads
as follows:
Raleigh, N. c., June 30, 1903.
Supt. W. G.. Clements, Raleigh, N. G.
Dear Sir: Rev. NJ. A. Adams phone
me Saturday that number of the teach
ers of Wake county that attended the
institute last summer were under the i'm
preston that those who attended last year
would not be required to attend this year.
Section rs of the School Law says that no
teacher shall be required to attend such
county teachers institute or summer
school two years successfully. No law,
however, can be retroactive so that this ap
plies to the future only, and teachers that
attended the institute last year vii mot
be excused from attendance on the insti-
tute of Wake county this year. If they
attend this year, however, they will not
be required to attend next year think
that it might be wen for you to send a
postal to your teachers calling attention
to this fact, if they are under different
impression. / trust that the teachers Of
Wake will avail themselves of the ad-
vantages of the summer school. They viii
rarely have so good an opportunity to bet
ter equip themselves for their work at
small expense.
Very truly yours,

GOING BACK SIGHTSEEING.

Everybody in the San Juan or es-
pecially in this section of it. knows
big-hearted. jolly. honest Jack Car
roll. He is one of the old pioneers.
and vet JACK is not an old man by
any means. but he is older than he
was when he first came here from st.
Joe. Missouri, 33 years ago. Jack
helped to make trails at Red Noun
tain and Ironton and was strictly in
the push in those towns in their
palmiest days. He has made and
spent barrel of money during that
time and done his part in developing
the mineral resources of the country.
He still owns valuable mining proper
ty but for the past two or three years
he has been taking the world easy
What we started out to say about
Jack was that he departed on Wednes-
lay to visit his old home and friends
at st. Joe. Thirty three years is a
long time to live in these rugged
mountains without visiting the out
side. But Jack has done it. He has
not even been to Denver or Salt Lake
CITY. His trip will be great reve-
lation to him. When he needed the
admonition OF Horace Greeley to go
west and grow up with the country
(the star of empire set on the east side
of the Missouri river. Now it shines
over Hawaii ana the Philippines. st.
Joe was then in the west. Jack
never saw an electric motor car; he
never saw modern railway train
lighted with electricity; he never saw
a department store and its elevator to
carry passengers from floor to floor
He will marvel greatly at the won
derful advancement of civilization.
The only thing that will seem natural
to him at St. Joe will be the Missouri
river water. 1t is just as muddy and
sluggish as it was in 1870. 1t has
been improved in taste by the Omaha
sewers and packing house. To drink
it one needs mou stache cup. so that
it will leave no lingering farewell
smell clinging to the upper lip. Jack
says no man can ever become thor
oughly developed for western life un-
less he has taken at least one drink
of Missouri river water. Without it
he will lack sand in his craw.-Ou-
ray Herald.

last be put ito some use. Captain
Brewer of the Lucille has already
built dock at the Falls and has run

the fact that the Lucille would run to

tain Brewer expects to erect a paw
lion with a dancing floor, boat livery,
refreshment stands. and bath houses,
and place a competant man in charge
Of the resort.
Thus far the Lacile has only made
Sunday trips but in the near future
she will probably make at least Two
trips daily to the park. It is the IN
tention to give evening parties there
as soon as the pavilion is built and
make the place as attractive as pos
sible
The cheapness Of the trip, the dis
tance from town and natural charms
OF the park should make it one Of the
most popular places for q daysrecrea-
ton in this vicinity. Captain
Brewer intends to spare no expense
no pains to make it everything that
it should be and then venture should
prove a success.
