SWEPT BY-FLAMES
BUSINESS SECTION OF NORWAY
BURNED DOWN.
FLAMES Discovered About T
O'Clock IN Morning-Ctizens I
able to Get Control of Fire.

A special dispatch from Norway
to The State says Tuesday morning
that place was visited by the great
est FIRE in her history. About 2
O'Clock fire was discovered in the
general store of sc. Huffs. AS all
buildings were constructed Of wood
the angry flames soon spread and the
effort to rave any Of the adjoin-
ing buildings was futile. At such an
early hour the citizens gathered rath-
er slowly and it was some time be-
fore much work could be accomplish
ed. Mr.. Huffs' dwelling was joined
70 his store. For some time it was
feared that some of the children
had been left in the house but it was
discovered that al were safe.
This being the business block OF
the town the flames soon reached
the large general store of H. P. Full
mer. This was two-story build
ing and the fight to save other build
ings became still harder.
Mr.. D. Hyden's dry goods and no.
tions store was next the building
that caught. Messrs. Bonnet &
Sandifers general store, being un-
der same building, was enveloped in
flames.
Next came the maddening rush of
flames to the general store and dwell
ling of P. w. Hutto, which was soon
destroyed.
Mrs. lone Hutto's millinery, across
the street, was burned with con-
tents. The bank building was Eadly
damaged.
The barn and it's contents Of Mr..
J. L. Glover were totally destroyed.
The amount of damage can not
be accurately ascertained as some OF
the parties are out of town. but be-
low is fair estimate:
S. C. Huff, store $500; dwelling
$1,000; stock of goods $500, In
surance, s1,5O0.
H. P. Fulmer, store $4,000; stock
$4,000; insurance $4,000.
D. Hyden, stock $1,000; insurance
$500.
P. ". Hutto, store and dwelling
$4,000; stock, $4,000; insurance,
$4,000.
Mrs. lone Hutto, stock $500; no
insurance.
Bonnet & Sandifer, stock $4,000;
insurance $4,000.
Bank of Norway, damaged $500.
3. B. Williams, building $4,000;
insurance $1,000.
Total loss, $4,000; insurance,
$4,000.
Today there is nothing to mark
the spot of the once business part OF
the town save a few chimneys and
smoldering embers, but with all these
calamities the people are determin-
ed. Orders have already gone out
for brick to rebuild.

HIGH SCHOOL AID
LEGISLATURE APPROPRIATED
CSC, 1000 THIS YEAR FOR THEM.
State Aids Only Those Schools Which
Pay Principal at Least 5000 per
Year.

Last year ninetN-six high schools
received a share of the $4,000 ap-
propriated for high school purposes
by the general assembly. Each of
these must file with the secretary Of
the high school board an application
for a. during the school year 1909
1910, if the trustees desire a contin-
uance Of the high school. No COM
munity should neglect this applica-
ton, and the blank can be secured
from either the county superinten-
dent Of education or from State super
intendent Of education. This appli-
cation Is made the basis Of all aid
distributed by the State high school
board, and should clearly set forth
the details of the high school for
the coming session.
High schools with one teacher in
the high school department and two
in the common school department
must pay the principal salary of at
least $500 in order to receive the
maximum of $500 allowed by the
board to schools in rural districts
and in towns with fewer than four
hundred inhabitants. Regulation II
adopted by the State board of edu-
cation at its meeting on May % will
govern all other salaries recognized
by the board for the school year
19O9-1910. In order to receive an
apportionment of $500, high school
with two teachers must pay the as
sistant S55 per month. In schools
where one teacher divides time be-
tween the common and high school
department, the board will make ap-
propriations according to the sala-
ries paid and the time given to high
school teachers.
Up to the present eighty-five high
school applications have been re-
ceived. Forty-seven OF these have
been reported favorably by the State
school inspector. The other thirty
eight need correction and amendment
in order that the requirements of
the law shall be met. Twenty-four
high schools that received aid last
year have not sent in appalication
for the coming session. This de-
lay is dangerous for any defect or
omission IL an application filed as
late as August Is can not be cor
rected in time for the school to be
recognized by the State high school
board. An application filed later
than September / can not be honored
even though it is correct.
Trustees for the coming session
can now make legal contracts and it
is earnestly requested that these
gentlemen give prompt attention to
interest of their high school.
In communities where it is desired
to establish high schools, the election
should be held and the application
filed by August 1. Any later date
will not allow the high school in
spectors time enough to examine into
conditions and make his report.
The legislature at its Iast session
appropriated 100000 for high
schools This should add at least
twenty-five high schools to the list,
but any application mast be in the
form required by the State high
school board in ordc:' TO receive rec
oonition
