"HELP TO FEED My PEOPLE,"
Little Belgium's King Appeals to
Generosity Of America.

London. Oct. Skiing Albert, of
Belgium, has asked the American
people to help feed his starving peo-
pie during the coming winter. His
message, written under fire in the
battle before Dunkirk, and transmit
ted to the American commission here
for relief in Belgium, follows:
II am informed that American
officials and citizens in Belgium and
England are working to save mypeo-
pie from the hororrs Of the famine
which now threatens them. 1t Is a
great comfort to me in this hour of
sorrow and misfortune to feel that a
great-hearted, disinterested people Is
directing its efforts to relieving the
distress Of the unoffending civilian
population Of my country.
"DcSpitc all that can be done, the
suffering in the coming winter will
be terrible, but the burden we must
bear will be lightened if my people
can be spared the pangs Of hunger.
with its frightful consequences of
disease and violence.
II confidently hope that the appeal
Of the American commission will
meet with generous response The
whole-hearted friendship Of America
shown my people at this time always
will be precious memory.

KEROSENE AND GASOLINE BURN.
Texas Oil Company's West Union
Warehouse DESTROYED. II

Last Monday afternoon large
clouds of black smoke were observ-
ed east of Walhalla, and it was soon
discovered that the Texas Oil Com
pany's warehouse in West Union
was burning. The origin of the fire
is unknown. but it is supposed that
a spark from the Blue Ridge after
noon train may have reached the
wooden building and started the
llameS
Employees of the company had
during the day placed in the ware
house a full carload Of kerosene and
gasoline, in barrels, and this, with
the small quantity already stored
there, was total loss. The burning
oil made fearful blaze, and the COL
umn Of black smoke led many to
fear a much worse fire than Was in
progress.
Fortunately, there were no other
buildings close to the building occu-
pied by the Texas Oil Company, and
thus the flames were confined to the
one building.
Last Saturday afternoon a small
oil supply house at the plant of the
Brown Lumber Company, in West
Union, was destroyed, along with its
contents, about three barrels of lu-
bricating oils. Fortunately no ex-
plOSiVe oils were stored in this build
ing. Only a comparatively few per-
sons knew of the blaze until after it
was all over. 1t is thought the fire
originated from a spark from the
boiler house.

her death. She was a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John w. oliver, who
live near Walhalla, and was well and
pleasantly known by many here and
elsewhere in the county. She was Sc
years of age and had for a number
Of years been consistent member of
