Old Building.

w. A. Scott, deputy insurance com
missioner of North Carolina, is in the
city today carrying out fire inspection
of practically all buildings in the busi-
ness section of the city.
The necessity of making all bu ldings
safe from fire has long ago proved itself
as essential to a safe community. Mr..
Scott is not letting anyone get by with
the fire traps, in any places that he Wis
its, and he has already found several
buildings here that need immediate re-
pairs to make them as safe as they
should be for general protection, he
stated today.
In his tour of buildings here, one of
the main and most notable ones is the
old FARRELL Hotel building that has been

under d scussion before the city council
so much of late. Mr.. Scott upholds the
action of the city council in condemning
this building which comes under his
specifications as a fire trap, which is
extremely dangerous to neighboring
buildings, and unsafe for occupation.
The city council condemned this
building several weeks ago and an ap-
peal has been taken by the Dyer broth
ers who own this p ece of property, To-
Gated near the passenger station here.
Building Inspector A NJ Idol has
been instructed to place large signs on
this building, today, show ng publicly
that it has been condemned, and to
give not ,ce to the occupants that it is
not safe for them to remain in the build
ing.
In their acton the authorities gave
the owners of the condemned building
until July 20 to tear it away, but the
judgment of the court Will have to be
waited for now due to the appeal de-
laying any positive and immediate .ac
tion on the part of either parties.

of the city to Use their efforts and
influence to render aid in solving the

ASPECTS THE SAME
IN the Main There is No Change,
But Huns Are Making Best of
Their Successes and Are Cen
tering Efforts on the Cathe-
dral CITY of Rheims.

London, July 1.-THE posi-
ton for the allies at the present
stage of the German offensive in
France is said to be distinctly sat-
isfactory in advices received to-
day.. The French losses are stat
ed as small and they have lost
no guns, the reports declare.
The German offensive is in its third
dav and according to the views of the
entente observers it has no longer the
aspects of a general attack, having al
ready worked itself into series of
local operations.
The success of at least one of the
local operations would amount to con-
- siderable achievement for the Germans,
however falling short of the original
plans. What the German .shigh COM
mand intended the offensive. to be can
no the surmised.- The enemy has en-
countered stubborn defense in their eff
forts to attain their objective and the
Germans have pursued their usual tao
tics by making the most of the local
successes along the front.
The offensive has apparently taken
on the aspects of a turning movement
against the Rheims salient Reports

Trouble Grew Out of Case of Young

Opposition to the draft in Dickcn-
son County is practically nil. and re-
ports TO the effect tina, open warfare -
planned by slackers and desertcrs are
untrue. according to Senator Roland
L. Chase. who was here Yesterday to
deny that his county was less loyal
than any other Of the country Why
we have only three descrte.s in the
entire county" he said. and the num-
Der who deserve the term of Stacker
is probably less than a dozen. Our pco-
pie arc AS much behind the govern
mcnt in this war as are those OF any
other part Of Virginia, and We resent
any imputati0u to tho contrary"
The Senator's ire was aroused by
dispatches emanatinS from l;otnonc.
which stated that large number OF
descrtcrs and draft-cvadcrS had armed
and banded themselves into an or
ganiZcd body to give battle to any who
tried to induct them into the nations
service. These reports. according to
him. arc greatly exaggerated and prac
tically without foundation. II is tru.

have been made, but these were Ell
