Dear Friend: II you could have
seen carl Morris stop Jack Burke Of
Chicago in the third round Of their
lg-round match At Cincinnati last
night you would have agreed win
me in my opinion that Morris is toe
day a greater boxer than ever be-
fore. He boxed what | term a most
systematic battle and Burke never
once laid a glove on him. He had
the speed Of jim Corbett, tn"
strength Of carl Morris. the NghiluE
spirit II Tom Sharkoy and the
punching powers OF Bob Fitzslm

was wonderful. Burke was knocked
out with straight right hand

cold. Morris was the first TO help
him 10 his chair after the referee
had said the fatal 10"

PROPERTY LOSS BY
FIRE LAST MONTH
EXCLUSIVE OF FOREST FIRES
MILLION AND A QUARTER
WENT UP IN SMOKE.
MUCH LEAF TOBACCO BURNED
No Explanation Has Been Advanced
by Department for Wide Preva-
Ience Of Fires During Month.
Raleigh.

Exclusive of forest fires, more than
a million and quarter dollars worth
Of property was destroyed by fire in
North Carolina during the month Of
April, nearly doubling the losses for
the preceding month and trebling the
losses for April last year Destruction
Of leaf tobacco by fire accounts for
nearly half the losses reported to the
insurance department during the
month
Appraised on the basis of prices a
year ago, the months fire losses would
have gone well beyond the two mil
lion mark, according to Insurance Com
missioner Stacy w. 'ade. Wilson
and Rocky Mount both staged big
warehouse fires that ran up the total
from tobacco losses. with a combina-
ton garage and warehouse fire in
Henderson that accounted for nearly
S200G00 more.
No explanation Is advanced by the
department for the wide prevalence
of fires during the past month The
tabulation shows that actual reported
losses for the month at s1,2S4,075 as
against s7lS,OOO for March and $4S5,.
900 for April of last year Two rural
school houses of the better class, two
hotels, two churches and one hosiery
mill are included in the lists. Twenty
fires in the $4,000 class are noted.

Watts Beseiged by Applicants.

Col Aston d, Watts, the states
commissioner OF revenue, found time
between visits from job hunters to
talk some about the tax policies Of
North Carolina for the future.
The colonel talked as he signed a
great batch of letters, the most OF
them going to applicants for berth
in the administration Between 400
and 500 actual applications have been
received by the new commissioner for
jobs since he came to Raleigh and
took the oath of office.
For every letter or personal applica-
ton, he has received and Is receiv-
ing-an average of 10 letters and tele-
grams of endorsement Not since the
state was aroused over the job he re-
ceived has there been such a flood Of
personal communications into any of
