Grcenville. May 2.-(Special.)-An alarm of fire was sounded at 12:S0 this morn l ing and the startled citizens awoke to find a great blaze near the railroad and in the rear of number of stores. The storeroom of the Standard oil company. containing forty or more barrels of oil and gasoline, were burned, spreading from there to the building in the rear of T.. Longs store, used by that firm for stor- age. The adjacent building contained one and half carloads of hay, which caught fire, but the building and contents were sadved, though somewhat damaged Two very fine mules, valued at s400, owned by o. R. Martin, were burned They were in the enclosure around the oil storage, and were used in delivering oil. Two im- mense tanks of oil were in the enclosure and the fire was so great when discovered that no one dared go near enough to liberate the mules. The night was very still and no other buildings caught. though many were near enough to have made the danger very great If the wind had been blowing.

a great coal road Great coal trains rolled along for seven days in the week. The road itself was in fine condition, and yet wrecks occurred almost every day. and it was said that an average of one man a day was killed on this road, from Huntington to Newport News. The en- ployes of that road agreed to strike and notified the company. It was a most pe- culiar strike. 1t was not fpr larger wages, or for shorter hours, 1t was for rest upon the Sabbath day, and before the legislature compelled the road to take off it's freight trains 1t yielded to the de- mands of the employees and, strange to say-and yet not strange-the wrecks ceased, and lives were no longer sacri- feed. The men were in better condition and conducted the trains with more safety.
 From 1920 to 1s9O considerable companies of emigrants moved from North and South Carolina to the fertile lands of Alabama. From some points in North Carolina near Charlotte. a company set out to locate in Dallas county. It was in the winter season-late winter-and they were very desirous of reaching these lands in time to plant crop. One part of the company decided to travel on Sun day, and did so. Another part decided to rest on the Sabbath day. The company 
 the Sabbath day, reached the Valley Greek neighborhood. the terminus of their journey. ahead of the others; their teams were fresh and fat, and they were en- abled to make good crop. The other company got in later, their teams fa- tigued and worn out, and they were not able to plant the seed or prepare the soil, and had to be cared for the next winter by those who had observed God B law.
 The proper observance of the Sabbath day enables us to resist temptation, to meet the cares and tolls and sorrows of life successfully. and even in this, the twentieth century, we believe that God is still saying, 'If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath. and from doing thy pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the I.o"d honorable, and shall honor Him in rot doing thine own ways, nor finding th 2 own pleasure. nor speaking thine own words then shalt thou delight myself in the Lord, and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth. and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob. thy father, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken It."
