DANIELS PAPER AGAIN BURNE]
Plant of News and Observer Destroy
ed by Fire Second Time.

Raleigh, N. c., Nov. 6.-For the
second time since Josephus Daniels
became secretary of the navy in the
Wilson cabinet the plant of his news
paper, the News and Observer, was
destroyed by fire, which swept half
a block, causing property loss esti-
mated at half a million dollars. The
printing house of E. NJ Uzzell. & Co.,
State printers, was destroyed. In the
Uzzell plant was a warehouse con-
tanning many copies of supreme
court reports and North Carolina
laws, the property of the State.
The loss to the State in papers, pa
per stock and printing supplies is
estimated by Secretary of State j..
Bryan Grimes at approximately $7O,-
900, about 80 per cent. covered by
insurance. There are duplicates of
all State records lost in the fire.
The fire started in the plant OF
UZZell & Co., and shortly atterWard
an explosion, which fremen attribute
to gas, sent flames into the adjoin-
ipg buildings.
The editorial and mechanical
forces of the News and Observer had
left only a short time before the fire
was discovered. Practically nothing
was saved from the News and OBJ
server and Uzzell plants. The News
and Observer saved only copies of
the mailing lists, the galley proofs
even being destroyed.
Two firemen were injured slightly.
Mr.. Bagley was severely cut about
the left arm and side by being caught
in the door of the editorial rooms
while attempting to leave the build
ing with books.

Recall elections are, becoming pop

s Recall elections are becoming pop
ular in this State. Attempts are now
being made to recall certain city Of
fcials of Columbia and Spartanburg.
I'VE suppose the recall is all right,
but if the voters would use good COM
mon sense in electing officers, it
would seem that the recall would be
unnecessary. It is an easy matter to
Investigate candidates and vote for
the best men. The trouble is about
nine voters out of every ten vote for
a certain candidate because he is a
good friend, or good friend to a
friend of the voter, without regard
TO the qualifications for Office hold
ing. The consequence frequently is
that the voters are disappointed be-
cause of the ineffciency of the men
they elect. Why not vote for men
who are, known to be qualified at the
regular elections? The citizens of
Columbia and Spartanburg knew, or
ought to have known, the character
OF the men they elected to run the
city government. 1T is not at all
likely that the characters of the two
mayors have changed materially
since they took the. oath of office.
This is not intended to reflect in any
way upon either of the gentlemen,
because we do not know anything
about them; but we do not see much
sense in electingt them one year and
stirring up personal feeling the next
year by a recall election-unless 1t
lis shown that the voters were under
serious misapprehensions at the time
they were elected.

Thursday, Nov. II, 1915:

We do not think that the moral,
social and financial status of the city
has been injured to any marked de-
gree by the failure of the carnival
to pitch it's tents in Bamberg this
week. We were not aware that
there was law placing prohibitive
license on carnival shows, but we
congratulate the officers for finding it
out and for enforcing the law. We
cannot understand, however, how it
is that there are carnival shows all
over the State at this time. They
should not be allowed to exhibit any
where, and if there is a law placing
"a license of s100 per day on such
shows, it ought to be enforced every
where in the State.

son, his future moves against Villa.
Gen. Manuel Dieguez, Carranza's
commander on the west coast, has oc-
cupied Hermosillo, and it is believed
here that this has caused Villa to
change his plan to harry the interior
of Sonora for fear of being caught
between Dieguez and Obregon.
Villa passed through Cananea, a
mining camp south of Naco, today,
The twenty-six Americans left there
to operate the water and lighting
plants were not molested.
Major Gen. Frederick Funston, in
command of the United States troops
on the border, left today for Naco.

ESCAPE VILLAS CLUTCHES.
Men Four Times Condemned to Die,
and Reported Dead, Reach Safety.

Naco, Arizona, Nov. 6.-Four
Americans, released at Villa Verde
yesterday by Gen. Villa after three
times having been condemned to
death, arrived here today and narrat-
ed their experiences as Red Cross
workers among Villas wounded on
the battlefield of Ague Prieta. The
party consisted of DR.. R. H. Thig-
pen, DR.. Charles H. Miller and two
chauffeurs, Al Wilson and j. D. Ply
liant. The two physicians took to
their beds upon their arrival here as
result of their experiences after an
all-night tramp through the noun
tains.
Gen. Villa flew into a rage. Dr.
Thigpen said, when he learned that
the Americans could not guarantee
the passage of his wounded over
American territory to Juarez.
Treat the Americans as they treat
u.s." he is quoted as having said to
his aid" Do as you please. Turn the
artillery on Douglas and put these
men in front of the infantry In
tercession by Gen. Rafael Naive,
coupled with fear of retaliation upon
families of Villa and his subordinates
in the United States, was responsible
for the safety of the Americans, DR..
Thigpen said.
When a. subordinate reported to
Villa that Carranza troops had been
permitted to cross American terri
tory to aid in defending Augua Prieta
Villa again sought vengeance upon
the Americans. In rage he heaped
excavations upon their heads and
finally ordered them killed, they
said.
Believing in the efficacy of prayer,
the four Americans knelt among the
wounded on the battlefield, while the
rifemen waited. ''The Mexicans
about us were impressed" said Dr..
Thigpen, land the intercession once
more of Gen. Naive, who suggested
that the execution not be carried out
until families of Villa and his Officers
could be recalled from the United
States, spared us once more.
Il asked Gen. Villa if might talk
to him." said DR.. Thigpen.
''If you say a word to me I'll shoot
you myself" he replied, according to
DR.. Thigpen.
The four were marched to Villa
Verde, where for the third time they
were condemned to death. Gen.
Naive, who followed them, again in
terceded, this time with Gen. Rod
riguez, who had arrived from Naco.
Shortly afterward they were released,
to make their way as best they could.
DR.. Thigpen's home is in Sanders
vile, Ca, and DR.. Miller resides at
Hereford, Texas. They left Naco
Tuesday to render what aid they
could to Villa wounded. ~

about one-tenth of his total. If half ot
the increased production is available
for export this year, the export total
will be % per cent more than last
year.
Increased acreage in sugar beets,
sweet potatoes, rice and wheat ranges
from 30 to 10 per cent; tobacco, corn
and oats acreage increased upwards
of five per cent; hay, rye and potatoes
from three to one per cent; while flax,
barley and cotton decreased.
Oats made sharp advance ON ac-
count Of the war. While practically all
of this product is generally consumed
at home, eight. per cent of the crop
was exported in the first year of the
war, and farmers got cent increase
per bushel.
The cotton farmer win share in the
general farm prosperity because this
year the crop is less than 100000
balesy compared with over 100000
bales last year. Along with this de-
creased production is an increased do
mestic demand which is boosting the
price.

General Nuber Of New York, as leader

The decision as to what will be done

wake of disclosures by former Austrian
Consul Goricar Of San Francisco that a
spy systef was fostered In this country

Otherwise, IL the secretary concludes

Much of this land went into wheat,

The EGO was one of England S most

The sinking apparently was the re-
