FIRE DISASTROUS TO
FORESTS lhSI Spring
More Than 10000 Acres Burned
Over at a Loss of Over.
$4,OOO,OOO.

Last spring was the most dlsas-
TO the forests of North Carolina from
fire of any so far recorded. From al
incomplete canvas made by the state
Forester. reports were received Of the
burning over of more than tLree-quar-
tiers of a million acres Of forest lane
and a loss OF Sver $4,000, 900 in pro-
perty from forest fires. Eight coun-
ties in eastern. and one in western
North Carolina, reported damages
ceeding $780, 900 each, while sixteen
others lost more than 100000 each;
two counties reported damages OF a
million dollars or more. 1t is note
worthy that less than half a million
dollars damage was reported from
the western half of the State. whlle
more than three and a half million
dollars was reported from the eastern
counties. This is especially interest
inp in view of the fact that the fire
protective measures that were taken
wera confined to the western counties,
as the money came from the Federal
government under a provision of the
Weeks law which allows the spend
lnP VI d 1llllJCu AOAA va r.
lection of the headwaters of streams.
provided cooperation can be secured
from the State and the landowners.
Four Federal Patrolman in the
neighborhod makes everyone more
careful.
h state Forester will be able to
employ several Federal Patrolmen
during the fall fire season. other
| things being equal, these men will be
| placed where they will receive the
strongest cooperation from the land
owners of the neighborhOod. They
should be appointed as soon as the
dangerous season commences. and
their appointments will terminate as
soon as the fall fire season is over.
Besides employing a few patrol
, men. the State Forester offers to send
out to those who request it copies or
fire warning notices for posting in
/ public places. These 0OSters, when
properly used have had a very good
effect in making the public more care
full with fire.
The new State law in regard to for
est fires is one of the best now 0Ser-
ative in any of the Southern States.
Unfortunately. the appropriation for
enforcing it was not granted, so that
the Federal Government has to be de-
pended upon for what little protection
it is possible to undertake. 1t is con
fdently expected that the next Legis-
lature will make an adequate appro-
priation for this important work.
This will not take the place of what
the Federal Government is now doing,
hut, on the other hand. will enable the
State to ask and obtain a very much
larger Federal apportionment than it
is now possible for it to receive.

Douglas Fairbanks needs no recommendation to the patrons of this theatre, and his many admirers will be glad to witness this latest suc- cess.

For the last half of the week the management have booked Damaged Goods, the big seven part sensational drama, with the orig inal Broa dway cast, including Richard Bennett.

CHARGE OF DREAMING REFUTED Colchester Manager Says He Got a
 Letter from Montville Team.

On Wednesday, the 9th an item appeared in your paper with the Col chester news, stating that MOntville had arranged no game with COlches- ter and that without doubt the Col chester manager had been dreaming In reply to which I would like to say that on Wednesday, the 12th of July, I received a letter from one Roy Hart saying that he would like to arrange game of baseball between a team from MOntNille and the Colchester team. In the ensuing week we agreed by mail. and on July 20th I received a letter from him to the effect that the Montville team would come to Colchester on the 5th of August.
 Relying explicitly upon the integ- rity of the above, said Roy Hart, no watch was kept over the actions of the Montville team and consequently we were doomed to bitter disappoint- ment by being forced to play a mixed game.
 Although firm advocates of the say ing that lessons should be taught in school we would like to remark that it would be advisable if Manager c. E. F1aherty would make sure that he was awake himself when accusing someone else of dreaming.

MAY ROBSON COMING
To the Davis Friday Evening, Aug.

A wholesome play, a play with plenty of laughter and a plan in which motherly love and romance are deftly blended, is The Making Over of Mrs. Matt. Just the kind of Q play that American theatregoers enjoy. It is the latest vehicle for the talents of May Robson, in which she will appear at the Davis theatre one night only, Fri day, Aug 1Sth
 The comedy, by James Forbes, merges into a farce and then returns to more serious vein. Cleverly handled, it provides a splendid entertainment As a play for Miss Robson 1t ranks nearer The ReiuVenation of Aunt Mary than any other play. in which she has
