that Mr.. Tate and Prof. Hand are
not officers of the State and can
therefore be appointed as special
agents of the department. Before
leaving for Washington the commits
sioner sent letter to the attorney
general saying that II was his desire
to appoint the two educators as spe-
cial agents Of the agricultural depart
ment and asked II they were consid-
cred as State officials.

DIR. IL. II. DIXON DEAD.
Auditor Of State of North Carolina
for Ten Years-Was Once Pastor
Of Sumter Methodist Church.

Columbia. Sept. 29.-The death Of
! DR.. Benjamin Franklin Dixon, audi
tor of the State Of North Carolina
Monday night will recall to the
minds Of some of the older members
OF the South Carolina Methodist con-
ference the fact that DR.. Dixon was
for two years or more connected
| with this conference. At the close
Of the Civil war, Mr.. Dixon, who was
| captain in the Confederate army at
twenty, taught school q year or two
and then passed the examination Of
the theological board of the South
Carolina conference. His first
charge was at Sumter, where he re-
mained a short while before being
transferred to North Carolina His
voice soon gave him trouble and he
took up medicine, becoming q sue
cessful practitioner. Dr. Dixon was
elected to the North Carolina legis-
lature, was several times spoken Of
as candidate for governor ani was
elected State auditor three times. He
had been serving ten years in all
when he died suddenly in a hospital
in Raleigh.
Confederate veteran himself-he
was wounded three times-Capt.
Dixon volunteered In the Spanish
American war, and retired with the
rank of major. He knew more Con-
federate history perhaps than any
other man in North Carolina, and he
was a real friend of the men who
fought for the South.
The body was buried this afternoon
in Oakland cemetery, Raleigh, the
services being conducted by the
Masons. The famous Confederate
Drum corps Of Raleigh. only two
members Of which are living, help
ed officiate at the funeral. DR.. Dix
on Is survived by a wife and three
children.

BIG FIRE AT ALCOLU.

From The Daily Item, Sept 80.
The ID. w. Alderman & Sons Com.
pany of Aucolu, lost practically all
Of their saw mill plant by a fire,
which originated in the saw mill
building about 4 a. IN. from some un-
known cause. and which did damage
to the amount Of at least $65,00O.
This loss was all practically covered
by insurance and. besides the loss of
time from work and in installing
new machinery and erecting a new
building the firm will not suffer con-
siderable hardship.
The fire originated in the saw mill
building and as II was distant from
the engine house and boiler rooms,
II Is impossible to say how II was
started. An investigation was made
but resulted In no clearance Of the
mystery. AS the inside Of the build
Ing. which was q big frame struc-
ture valued at about SIS, 900, was ex-
tremely dry the fire burned rapidly and
as there were few persons about at
the time, between and s O'Clock.
II soon gained such headway that 1t
could not be checked. The rain of
the night before had so soaked the
outsides OF the surrouding buildings
and the lumber in the vicinity that
all OF them were saved. The ma
chinery destroyed Is estimated as
worth about $4,000. The dry kilns
and the planning mills were not injur-
ed. owing to their damp condition
and the good work OF those on the
ground who worked faithfully "a
keep the flames from spreading.
AS soon as adjustments are
settled with the insurance companies
steps will be taken TO replace the
building and to re-install the machln-
! cry. AS the whole loss by fire was
covered by insurance, the principal
loss for the Alderman firm will be
that sustained by the cessation OF
work and the time consumed I'm re-
building and replacing the machinery
No one was injured in the fire.
