Narrow ESCAPE
For Children
In Pi0C||e

Last Tuesday evening the home of
Mrs. Roy Orr. together with the
contents, was destroyed by fire and
it is only a miracle that her two
little daughters were saved from
perishing in the flames. 1t appears
THAT lamp had been placed ON a
small stand near a window, which
was open. The cool mountain breeze
famed the lace curtain over the
chimney and became ignited, almost
in an instant the whole inside of
the room was ablaze. Mrs. Orr was
away from home at the time; but
her sister. Mrs. A. L. Scott, was at
The house in charge Of the little
ones during the absence of their
mother AS soon as the fire was
discovered. Mrs. Scott's very first
thought was to save the children
who were asleep in an adjacent
room. By the time she had them
to place of safety. the alarm had
been given and people came from
all directions to give assistance
But before the fire department, which
responded promptly, could get into
action the building was doomed and
there was nothing left to do but to
save adjacent property.
Practically nothing was saved from
the house. and the loss is severely
felt by Mrs. Orr.

PAPERS HELPED N Frs
Profits of New York Gamblers in Eight
Years c93 400. 600.

New York.-In a startling expose of
the gambling situation, the New York
American published the confession of an
employee of one of the wealthiest gam
bling houses of New York, "A man who
has been in the business for q number
of years.
The profits of the gamblers of New
York for the past eight years have been
1913 ,40O,O 900. Their gross income was
more than $780, oO, 600. The profits OF
the gambling houses dwindled steadily
from 1905 to 1909, but since Mayor Gay
nor's inauguration the profits have been
climbing up by leaps and bounds. In
1911 the gamblers cleared $14 500, 900
in 1910, the first year Of the Gaynor adj
ministration. the total was SIP 100000.
During these two years there was no
race track open in New York, yet the
figures are higher than when race tracb
gambling was at its height.

100000 LOSS TO
SOUTHERN CROPS
ARMY WORM WROUGHT HAVOC
SAYS DEPARTMENT.
SECOND BROOD is CONF NC
Every Effort Will Be Made to Avert
Further Damage-Loss Is Placed at
100000 in Georgia-Other
States Lost Heavily.

Washington.-More than $4,000, 600
damage was done to crops in the South
last month by the army worm, accord
ing to unofficial estimates of the depart
ment of agriculture.
Whether the seasons second brood Of
the insects, already appearing in South
Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and other
States, will increase this loss is of much
concern to the government experts. All
the means at the departments disposal
are being used to meet the emergency.
Reports to the department say the
army worms at some places have stopped
the trains. The loss is placed at $1,000
900 in Georgia, while in Arkansas 20
per cent of the corn and 10 per cent of
the cotton planted has been destroyed.
Losses also have been great in Tonnes
see, the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana. On some of these, par
ticplarly Louisiana, they exceed the mil
lion mark. The corn, cotton, sugar cane
and rice crops from Louisiana to the At.
lantic have been affected.

COTTON CROP
OUTLOOK BETTER
TWO STATES STILL DRY-TWO TO
THREE WEEKS LATE.
THANKSGIVING FRUIT WELL
With Favorable Weather Rapid Advance
ment Is Expected-Insect Damage
Negligible.
copyright

Memphis.-The cotton crop did well
over nearly the whole of the belt, the
exceptions to improvement being South
ern and Central Texas and parts of North
Carolina, where insufficient rains fell.
The improvement was based on rains,
which in nearly all sections east of the
Mississippi river were more or less heavy,
being excessive in limited districts. With
the moisture now in the soil the crop is
expected to advance rapidly for at least
ten days, barring excessive precipitation,
which is now perhaps more than other de-
velopment to be feared.
At the present time the plant is setting
fruit quite well and making an all-round
advancement. The greatest recent i'm
provement has occurred in the immediate
Mississippi Valley States, notably Missis-
sippi and in Alabama and Northern and
Eastern Texas.
On an average the crop is estimated to
be two to three weeks late and in many
fields grown bolls are very scarce. But,
on the other hand, there are fields nearly
up to normal that promise almost a full
yield. Crops are irregular in all sections.
Insect damage up to the present has
been almost negligible, but an increase in
boil weevils is noted in Mississippi, and
the cotton caterpillar or leaf worm has
appeared in Central and Eastern Texas,
and in small numbers in Alabama. Fur
Their rains or long-continued showers
would greatly facilitate the spread of the
pest.
Rain is now needed only in the extreme
northeastern part of the cotton belt and
in the extreme southwest. Elsewhere
warm, dry weather will best promote the
development of the plant.
