To Spread Out

The Methodist Protestante of High
Point want a more commcdious and
pretentious house of worship in
keeping with their rapidly growing
membership and with this end i'm
view a plan and location committee
was named as follows: Mayor w. P.
Pickett, e. C. Robbins. Geo. T. Penny,
V. w. Idol and j. A. Gray. The
proposition has the support of the
entire congregation and Pastor Dixon
is jubilant over the idea. Many of
the members of this splendid church
had something to say about the
wonderful progress the church had
made during Mr.. Dixon's pastorate
and other matters pertaining to the
church work at the rally held Sun
day.
The new church will not be locat-
ed on the present site as there is not
enough room, so it is stated.

Safeguard the Public's
Health

We repeat that it is due the citi-
zens of High Point to have the milk
supply analyzed monthly just like
it was being done in a way some
time ago. Every other town thinks
enough of the health of its people
to have this done and High Point GER
tainly deserves no less. 1t will do
no harm to present the figures in
black and white and will be an in.
centive to those selling milk in High
Point to furnish the best quality
possible, free from injurious or
death dealing microbes, it matters
not whether he be democrat or re-
publican, Methodist or Baptist or
what not? We want the best safe
guards thrown around our people
and we must have it. Will the
proper authorities act on the matter?
The same way in regard to the
restaurants, the people are entitled
to the best, wholesome food cooked
in sanitary kitchens and an in
spection will tell the tale. Let us
do our duty in these matters.

Boiler Explosion Causes
Death and Destruction

FCIudy dAlCIAOOA a. OA.N SNA~A
the boiler at the High Point Steam
laundry blew up, killing Eli Ingram.
the negro fireman and painfully
wonndina S. S. Martin. white man
related to Crowder Brothers. pro-
prietors of the laundry.
The explosion was due to the
carelesness of the negro fireman in
running cold water into its coils
while too hot. The steam had run
so low on account of water that the
engine hardly moved the machinery
Of the laundry and the proprietor
told the firemen about it but caution
ed him not 10 let cold water in un-
I'll the boiler had cooled down some.
However in a few moments after
wards terrific explosion took place
and the whole end of the laundry
was torn away. The boiler was
thrown around opposite to its orr
oipal position and landed Is feet
north. Hundreds of brick and bits
of broken wood, bent and twisted
pipes covered the original location
of the boiler. The boiler had great
holes torn in its side anC the front
eGd castings around the coils of
water pipes torn away like so much
cloth.
The heavy steam valve at the
top was broken and SCARED as if a
tin toy instead of a huge piece OF
iron. There it lay covered with
rust and dirt, hardly solid place
on its thick covering of metal, with
its nose buried in the ground as if
in fright or ashamed of its behaviour,
the instrument which sent its mas
ter of 10 years service into eternity,
mangling the body of flesh and
blood right at the spot where once
stood this giant of irou and steel.
s, S. Martin was standing in the
door leading to the boiler room
when the explosion occurred and
received severe burns about = face
and hands from flying ASH and
several wounds from swiftly -
brick. He had narrow escape from
death. The force of the explosion
seems to have been diverted towards
safety, an open field, To the south
, in very close ;gcxip2ity was the
Union Supply Co.'S building but nc
damage was done except shattered
window panes due to the force o1
the explosion. Had the boiler beer
hurled in this direction no doubt
several employees would have beer
killed. And if the boiler had beer
blown west towards the front Of the
building or brick and other debi:
diverted that way to any extent M
doubt several other lives would have
been sacrificed.
In fact it looks like the fates
were decidedly in favor of the living
aud everything of death dealing
nature turned towards an open field
Messers. Crowder and Bros. shouI'
thank God and take courage tha
they came out SO light. They wer
about ready to move into thel
building on East Washington stree
anyway which is being done thl
week and will be very little incon
