MR.. BELL SUSTAINS
HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE
Barn Destroyed, Together With Eight
Head Of Stock and Quantity Of
Feed. Origin Unknown.

Between and 4 o'clock Friday
morning barn, with all it's contents,
belonging to Mr. r. y. Bell. who lives
about two miles east Of the city, was
completely destroyed by fire. In
the barn were six fine mules, two
horses, six hundred bushels of corn,
several thousand bundles OF fodder
ana number of hogs. Nothing of
the feed stuff, nor any Of the animals
was saved and the barn was burned
80 its foundations.
1t was nearly o'clock when Mr..
Bell was walked by one of his neigh
bors, Mr.. Thos. Lynch. who had seen
the fire and hurried from his homo.
nearly a mile away. to assist if posi-
bic in saving the property. Mr.LynCh
says that when he first saw the fire,
Ut WAS the top of the barn that was in
a blaze; hence the disaster was hardly
the work of an inccndiary. and must
have been fired by Il match which the
rats struck
Mr.. Bell states that when he awoke
the barn was falling in at the roof
and there was no possible chance to
save his mules or horses. The total
loss will exceed $3,5OO; while the en-
tire assurance will amount to but
81 600.

REMEDY FOR SCHOOL TROUBLE
Cross Hill Correspondent Discusses
the Subject.

Cross Hill. Mar 29.-Since Judge
Prince had something 20 say about
schools and inefficient teachers in his
charges to the grand jury. several
writers have suggested a remedy and
all seem to think the remedy is to pay
higher salaries. | don't believe that
ls The only remedy. ! believe some
OF our lady teachers who get only $25
or $40 per month are worth more and
are doing better and more faithful
WORK than some men who get $50 or
500, Just because they are men
think trustees and patrons ought
20 exercise a more strict supervision
over the schools and see and know
VINO are the faithful teachers and en-
nioy only such as give value erceived.
And / will not be surprised if our
women who get only $35 or $40 will
NOT compare favorably with many men
who get much larger salaries. Par
ents @ho do not control their children
at home give teachers and school a
Tot OF trouble.

Limitina Automobiles.

Williamstown, Mass, has closed 12 roads in that town against automobiles and motorcycles. the result of a peti- tion by the town authorities to the state highway commissioners. This indicates an important change in deal ing with these popular but dreaded ve- hicles. The ultimate logical conclus- ion is the confinement of automobiles to a few roads and streets and the relief of horse vehicles and pedestrians from the apprehension they are now under everywhere. It is a question how far this extreme can be attained practically But 1t serves as another warninp to the owners and drivers of these street locomotives to be more careful and considerate lest they be confined within narrow limits.-Wa- terbury American.

UNITED WORKERS DONATIONS
 MUST BE INCREASED.
Necessary in Order to Keep City Mis- sion Work at Present Standard.

The associate committee of. the City Mission, Waterman R. Burnham, Rev J. Eldred Brown, Oliver l.. Johnson and Francis J. Leavens, with City Missionary c. A. Northrop, have is- sued the following statement relative to that department of the United Workers: -o z
 During the past five years, the United Workers organization, be- cause of insufficient income, has beeno obliged to draw upon its invested funds, some of which are unrestrict- ed, in order to meet its current ex- penses and make needed improve ments. Funds to the amount of $16,- 500 have been thus drawn.
 The yearly average receipts for the past five years have been $13,500 The average yearly disbursements for the same period have been s17,500. The difference not having been given by friends, has been taken out of funds. This practice is perilous and ought not to be continued. The only proper remedy for the situation is to increase the income. The income from inter- est and board and sales is somewhat fixed. Increased income, therefore, must come from donations. Present year. That amount should be doubled. if the work is to be maintained at it's present standard of efficiency.
 It is the City Mission department that suffers most when donations fail. That department it will be remem- bered, was taken over from the old Norwich City Mission in 1S9S;. and the men of the Mission promised their good will and financial help, on con dition that the United Workers should assume the management. It was the implied understanding that the men would do their best to maintain this particular branch of work after the union as. they. had done before the union. The men may be supposed to be especially interested in this de- pertinent, not only because they were the cause of it sexistence, and the guarantee of it's continuance, but bes cause it's work is of a more public kind, and touches so many, interests of the city's life. l-A sz Would it be considered an unfair arrangement if the men of Norwich should assume the, same responsibility today and take upon themselves the entire support of the City Mission ? The Mission will need this year, at the lowest estimate, from $&000 to s5,000, aside from salaries.
 Since the union. a. common appeal has been made yearly for a common treasury, mostly without personal so- licitation, wit indifferent results so far as increased donations are con cerned. It is thought that a recur- renee to the practice of the old City Mission in employing collector. may serve to acquaint the public better with the real needs.
 It is with this hope in mind that the committee, acting under instruc- tions from the City Mission commit tee send out this circular to he fol- lowed soon thereafter, by the visit of a collector in the person of Francis F. Dove. who is hereby authorized to so- licit and receive subscriptions.
