HOUSE AND BARNS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Especial to the Caledonian)

Especial to the Caledonian)
Orleans, Sept. 3.-The home of Wal
lace Kennison of Bloomington and two
barns situated close by the house were
burned to the ground about noon to-
day and will be a total loss. The fur
niture in the house was saved by hard
work, and the cattle and horses in the
barns were removed in safety, though
five swine were lost.
1t is thought the blaze was the re-
suit of chimney fire which had been
discovered and extinguished earlier in
the morning. The Orleans fire de-
partment was summoned and re-
sponded but was unable to be of any
assistance because of the lack of
water. The barns were full of hay
and it is thought the total loss will
be heavy. The property was partly
covered by insurance.

FIREMEN STAGE
FIRST BLOWOUT
Success of the Event Gives
Promise of Similar One
/: Next Year

The members of the st. Johnsburx
fire department made their first an.
nual outing held on the fair grounds
yesterday such {. successful event that
another Is assured for next year, and
the boys are holding consolation meet
1ngs that the idea was not inaugurated
before. From the grand ensemble on
Main street where the entire fire
hghting force and apparatus faced the
camera to the final athletic event of
the afternoon, the program was ex-
in by every last man.
Two five inning ball games held the
center of interest in the morning. A
team led by Carr walked off with the
first game after a warm contest by
a score of TO 1 and they in turn went
down before a picked crew led by
Moore to the easy tune of ~ to 2.
A general change Of lineup resulted
in the second game making the score
keepers job a difficult one.
The hundred yard dash took place
just before dinner. There were nine
entries in the semi-f1nals and in the
finals the four who toed the chalk
line came in in the same order as in
the semi finals. Arnold broke the
tape in II 3-5 seconds and Smith, Lee
pam, and Rice trailed in order.
Taking all in all perhaps the event
with the greatest number of entries
took place about noon when the din
ner call sounded. A general stampede
to the dining hall occurred where the
committee took the quickest road to
the mems hearts by serving a bounti-
full menu. The good things to ear
consisted of: Chicken pie, chicken
fricaseed, mashed potatoes, green cohn,
rolls, mashed turnip, squash, apple
and BURBERRY pie, cream cheese, sour
pickles, coffee. One fireman between
mouthfuls stated that the feet could
MT be done justice to on paper.
AS soon as it was possible for the
men to take part in the athletic events
of the afternoon after wrapping
themselves around that "ere chicken"
the entries for the shot-put were
called for F. Smith won out by put
ting the sphere through the air for
IS feet, IL inches. Blay and La
panne tied for second place with 3S
feet, 8 inches each.
The lUO YARD walk was StdSeu Will
eight in the semi-finals but the final
walk went to Caswell who covered the
distance in "a seconds. Rogers, Cor
mier and Moffett finishing in their
respective order. In the tugs-o-war,
No. 6 company won from No. /; NO.
won from Hook and Ladder COM
pany and on the third pull company
No. won from No 2.
Tho fat men burned over the
ground IN their SO yard race to the
best time Of nine seconds, the tape
being broken by Adams. Harris was
a close second, Conley third, Rolte
fourth, and Coburn fifth. The others
wheezed over the line in open order
The potato race, sack race and three
legged race all called for heavy com
petition and the sun was sinking 10"
before the first annual firemen's out
ing to a close and till the year rolls
around for the second annual when
"a almost an assured fact.

CHARLOTTE'S ATTITUDE
TOWARD THE SOLDIERS

this line being the conversion of the
plant OF the former Elizabeth College
into a Presbyterian Hospital, the sum
OF $25O,000 being applied to the pur-
chase OF this property which lies in
a wooded area of 20 acres on the out
skirts OF the city.
Internationally, Charlotte is not sloth-
full. Its high school registration mum.
Ders over 700 pupils and in addition
there are numerous private schools for
the training of the young. Horner's
Military Academy is one of the chief
OF these, being one of the oldest and
most widely recognized in the State.
Charlotte is the home of Queens Col
lege, the largest and finest-equipped
institution maintained by the South
ern Presbyterian church of the South.
Records on file in the United States
census bureau offices at Washington
indicate that higher percentage OF
the people of Charlotte own the homes
they occupy than in any other city
OF the nation. The chief reason, per-
haps, for this condition Is that there
is far less proportion Of alien-born
population in this community than
in any other section Of the South.
Less than one-half of one per cent OF
the total population of Charlotte Is
foreign-born. The other reason is the
presence here of successful and ably
managed building and loan assosia-
tons. four Of them through which
thousands of residents are paying
weekly or monthly for the houses in
which they are living.
The City lndustriaIIy..s,ll /:
/. Within latter years Charlotte has
made tremendous strides as a jobbing
center. The reason of its geographi-
cal location, being equi-distant from
the sandhills and the mountain re-
gions of the State and the central
point in the two Carolinas accounts
for the rapid growth of this business.
The element of transportation has not
been the least of the conductive rea-
so1s that Charlotte has maintained
such a uniform growth in this direc-
ton. It is at present the extreme
Southern city to which from the
main headquarters in Washington a
double track system prevails on the
Southern RailraAd, the leading South
ern transportation system.
Charlotte boasts the finest subur-
ban developments of any city in the
Carolinas. The launching of Myers
Park, formerly an open area of 1000
acres Immediately adjacent to the
city limits, financed by millionaires
and converted into a residential sec.
ton of SURPRISING beauty, has added
chiefly in giving this city the name
and distinction OF being a distinctive
residential city and one. too, of ele-
CANT dwellings. On every side of the
city, proper, large suburban develop
ments have sprung up within the last
ten years and the drift of population
is away from the CONSTRUCTED centers
which are rapidly yielding to the GEN.
trifuga1 influences of commercial
growth, making it necessary for the
residences to push themselves toward
the outskirts of the city.
Industrially, Charlotte ranks above
any of it's competitors in the Caro-
linas both for the variety and the
magnitude Of its commercial enter
prises.
