Now that the new road to Goldsboro
from Mr.. Everett Flowers to the

that it is to become one of the coun-

If a fellow will just steer clear OF
the three DIS in this world, he will
not only score in this life, and have
the confidence and esteem of his fell
bowman, but he will make a home
run on the last inning. and there will
be few errors charged against him.
II is not a very easy job to do, but it
is possible, and by so doing, every

AS we write there is falling n of
the heaviest rains this section has
had in many a day. An angry, black
cloud has been approaching from the
west. since before dark, and now that
it bias arrived the rain is coming down
in torrents, and farm operations will
be at a standstill for several days.
Crops are looking well here, especial
ly corn, and with no disaster the
prospects for an abundant harvest are
| good. The farmers are busy saving
their small grain, n planting peas
for hay, will keep them very busy for
some time.

EARTHQUAKE IN FRANCE.
Eight Persons Killed and a Number
of Houses We're Destroyed.

Marseilles, June 1.-Two earth
quake shocks, running from northeast
to southwest, were felt throughout the
Riviera between nine and eleven
o'clock tonight. While the damage
done here was not great, reports from
smaller cities show that the effects of
the second shock were serious. At
Lambeso, a town of $500 inhabitants,
twelve miles northwest of AK, several
houses collapsed and eight persons
are reported to have been killed
troops were immediately hurried there
to search in the debris for possible
dead or injured persons.
Several buildings also fell at En-
sulles and at AK a vermicelli factory
was partially demolished. The dis.
turbance extinguished the arc lamps
in the streets and broke crockery and
windowpanes.

CHEMICALS EXPLODE;
MAN SEVERELY HURT
EmpIoye Alone in Laboratory Expert
menting with Acids Is Burned
About Bodybuilding
Demolished

In an explosion of chemicals which
at Mission road and Daily streets yes
terday morning Fred Eble, 80 years
old, living at 1897 East Adams street,
an employe of the Los Angeles Fire
works and Calcium Light company,
was hurled a considerable distance,
burned severely about the face, head,
neck, arms, hands and body, and his
clothing set on fire. The force of the
explosion was so great the walls of the
frail structure were crumbled like pa
per. The injured man was taken to the
county hospital and is in a serious con-
dition.
Eble was alone in the building at
the time of the accident. He was ex-
perimenting with some chemicals, and
just as he pOrued a certain acid into
a mixture of other liquids there was a,
binding flash and a deafening explo-
sion and the place quickly was en-
veloped in flames.
The first person to rush to the aid of
the injured man is a neighbor, who
heard the explosion and hastened to
the burning building. The man, who
refused to give his name, reached Eble
just as the latter was crawling away
from the wrecked building, his clothing
ablaze.
The unidentified rescuer dragged Eble
to puddle of water and dragged the
unfortunate man through it, extin-
gushing the blazing clothes.
Il want to go to the county hos
pital," moaned Eble; "please take me
there at once.'
The rescuer supported the suffering
man to that institution, and after Civ
ing him in charge of one of the at
tendants hurried back to the burning
building. In the meantime an alarm
had been turned in, but neighbors,
however, had used a garden hose on
the burning building, and when the
firemen arrived the fire had been ex-
tinguished.
The building was owned by F. A.
Wilson and the loss on it is estimated
at $3.50, while the damage to the con-
tents is estimated at $1,000

CITY SAVES $4,000
ON PAVING CONTRACT
Readvertising for Bids on Work for
Sunset Boulevard Brings Much
Lower Figures Than First
Submitted

The board of public works yesterday
let the contract for the paving of Sun
set boulevard, and the lowest bid, which
was that of the Pattillo Contracting
company, showed that by readvertising
and waiting a few days the property
owners were saved about $40, 900 in the
cost of the improvement.
The price for which the PattillO COM
pany has offered to do the work is $685.
926. The Barber Ashpalt company was
the next lowest bidder, $169, 662 being
the price asked by the Barber people.
This price is like picking up bar
gains, in the opinion of the board of
public works. The city engineer esti-
mated the work would cost more than
100000, and that his estimate was not
far wrong was shown by the bids first
submitted
When the first bids were opened both
the Pattillo and Barber companies were
within $50 of each others figures. The
lowest price was $1S3, 900. Other bid
ders asked about 100000 for the con-
tract.
When the first bids were opened
technical objection arose over the ques-
ton of specifications, and as both the
Barber and Pattillo concerns threat
ened to take the matter into the courts
if the contract was awarded to either
CH6 DOdrQ IOunQ 1t pest TO REJECT all
bids and readvertise. They are now
glad they did, for but a few days delay
was occasioned and $4,000 was saved
through the keen rivalry of the two
paving companies.
This improvement is for the paving of
Sunset boulevard from the western city
limits to its terminus in the business
center. 1t will be one of the longest
paved streets in the city when com

WANTS MAPS FILED WHEN
ABANDONMENT is SOUGHT
Recommendation Made by City En-
gineer Will Be Taken Up by
the Council at Its Next
Meeting

Property owners who want portions
of streets and alleys abandoned so they
can add a little more to their holdings
will find this a little more difficult If
the recommendation made to the board
of public works by City Engineer Ham
lin is followed by the council at its
meeting next Tuesday.
Engineer Hamlin reported that a
large number of streets and alleys had
been abandoned by the council, and
that, as no subdivision maps had been
filed absorbing these streets and alleys
into the surrounding territory, he had
been compelled to carry them on his
maps. This involves a good deal of
unnecessary work in his department,
and the city assessor has estimated
that the cost of the detail involved by
these abandoned parcels of land in his
Office costs nearly $4,000 each year.
The engineer has recommended that
when property owners ask for the
abandoning of streets and alleys they
file subdivision map with the council
before the abandonment is completed.
