WILL. RUN
FIRE LINES
Police and Firemen to
Unite in Handling
the Crowds.

There was consultation yesterday
between High Sheriff Henry and Fire
Chief Thurston relative TO the future
cooperation between the Police and
Fire departments in case of fire.
AS a result a series of conclusions has
been reached that viii probably result
in the adoption here of the metropon-
tan system in vogue on. the mainland.
That is to say, the police viii be called
TO the fire by the alarm the same as
the firemen are. and will act in con-
junction with the firemen in keeping
the crowd back and in preventing pos
slble looting and the hampering of the
firemen by spectators running in and
out of burning buildings.
Under the new rules proposed the first
work done by the police at a fire vii
be to run lines of rope at a distance
from the burning building that may be
Indicated by the fire chief These ropes
will mark the fire lines and all spec
tators save those whose business may
take them within the lines will be kept
outside the ropes by a patrol of police
established for that purpose.
The High. Sheriff shall be privileged
to issue a certain number of badges
emitting the holders to pass the lines,
If beiue uDderSto ood that the numbers
shall be limited within the High Sher-
IFS discretion and that badges shall
be issued only to the newspapers and
to the representatives of the fire un
derwriters.
In this way it is hoped that all per-
sons will be kept outside the lines who
have no business inside and that there
will be no more Iooting at fires. Ger
tainIy, with the adoption of this sys-
tenn the work of the Fire Department
will be greatly facilitated. One of the
greatest difficulties the Fire Depart
nent meets with now lies in the work
of keeping the crowd back. and unless
this is systematized in some such way
as it is now proposed the mob will al
ways present great difficulty in the
handling

Threats of 1ncendiarism .

Word was received at the Police sta
ton last night that five Koreans, dis
charged by the Concrete Construction
Company, had approached the COM
pany's plant in the Pauoa valley and
threatened TO burn the place down
Deputy Sheriff Rawlins at once sent
out two mounted policemen with in
structions to bring in the Koreans If
they could be found and charge them
with vagrancy. It seems that this is
not the first time these Koreans have
created the same kind of disturbance
in the valley and the police authorities
are after them.

he will take charge of the HaIeiwa

Mr., Lycurgus made the following
! statement last night: II am going to-
morrow to the Volcano to take charge
of the Volcano House. 1t is my aim
ters for local people. There are many
who want to take short vacations and
have not time or money to take a trip
to the coast but would like to spend
their time at some island resort 1t
is my desire to make at the Volcano
House such a resort. OF course we
want tourists too.
There is great need for improve
ments at the house and we intend to
spend over $4,000 at once The hotel
will be painted, new furniture will be
put in and new water tanks built. Be
side this we will do considerable work
in impr siag the roads around the era

After many weeks of rumors of
future of the Volcano House, a stock
holders meeting was held yesterday
afternoon with the result that George
I1ycurgus is now manager of the hotel,
having a controlling interest in the
stock and bonds and also being the
possessor of a second mortgage for
$4,000 placed on the property for the
purpose of raising funds for important
improvements. The action of the di-
rectors yesterday means much for this
popular resort. Mr.. Lycurgus will COM
mence at once work for the improve
ment of the hostelry, extremely low
rates will be offered both at the hotel
and for the trip thither and over five
thousand dollars will be spent at once
for betterments on buildings, furniture
and grounds. 1t is the idea of the new
manager to make the Volcano House
the resort par excellence for island
people as well as for the tourist pub

BIG DAY AT AURELIAN SPRINGS
Hon. Claude Kitcfin's Great Speech.

\ correspondent from Littletnn t,
the News and Observer gave the fellow
ing account Of the Democratic rally a,
Aurelian Spings List week:
Litt!eton, n. G., Oct. 21.-Yesterda
was g:eat day for Democracy at Au
re!lan Spring; in Halifax county, 8
place "here the people of that section
have gathered for many years 10 hear
and to discuss the political issues OF the
day. 1t had been noised around tha,
the peerless Claude Kitchin and the
matchiess Lee S. Overman were to be
on hand and address the audience. Be-
tween five hundred and a thousand
people assembled to hear the speakers.
Claude Kitchln opened the fire and
turned on the searchlight, looking in.
to every nook and corner of dissatisfac-
ton In the county, State and national
politics. He was at home, on his ma
t'ye soil, knew the people, and shelled
the forts OF the opponents with such
relentless fire that when he called for
those who would vote for Roosevelt
and his policy to raise their hands,
only one hand answered the call.
Mr.. Kitchin has made many political
speeches in Halifax county and is very
popular with the citizens of the county,
but many Of his personal friends think
his speech yesterday surpassed any
heretofore made.
Senator Overman discussed mostly
national issues. His arrangement OF
the Republican party was severe
though just. He laid at the door OF
the Republican party such charge a.
records and facts prove. Our people
have believed that when North Caro-
lima sent him to the United States Sen
ate, 1t did good thing, but now they
know the State acted wisely.
The speakers crowned themselves
with honor and the Democratic party
with glory in their mastery efforts.
and the hearts and votes Of the best
citizens OF Halifax county Will be with
them and the cause they represent on
election day.
Barbecue was served in abundance
for those present, and the wish was
expressed that there were more people
present to have the double pleasure of
feasting the brain and body on the
good things so lavisbly furnished.
