BECKETT SUFFERS
PARALYTIC STROKE
Former Governor Of North Carolina Is
Reported In Serious Condition.
(ay The Associated Press

RALEIGH. n. c., Dec 27-Former Gov
ernor Thomas Walter Beckett, 81 years
old suffered a stroke of paralysis at his
home here this evening. and his condi-
tion was such at 10 o'clock that his
physicians entertained but slight hope for
his recovery. The former governor has
been unconscious since he was stricken
but attendants said he showed slight
rally after strong restoratives had been
administered.
Mr.. Beckett served one term as gov
ernor and two terms as attorney general
of North Carolina
Seemingly in the best of health and
spirits. Governor Beckett prepared supper
for Mrs Beckett, who was confined to
her room by illness. He had eaten his
supper and returned to Mrs. Bickett's
room and was sitting beside her bed
when he suffered violent headache. A
few moments later he went to his own
room to lie down
Within five minutes Mrs. Beckett heard
him scream that his head was almost
killing him." He returned to her room,
fell across the bed and lapsed into un-
consciousness. physician was summoned
and an examination revealed no outward
signs of life, but he soon developed a
slight pulse, and the former governor be-
gan breathing perceptibly after half an
hour.
! His entire right side is paralyzed
Physicians tonight were skeptical of any
regular gain in strength except through
the use Of stimulants. His breathing was
regular, but heavily labored His pulse
was weak and uncertain.
AS soon as the news Of the former
governors illness became known, former
/ Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Josephus
Daniels with numerous other friends
hastened to the Beckett home.
Mr.. Beckett was elected attorney gem
eral of North Carolina in 1908 and served
| two terms. retiring in 1917 to become
governor. He was succeeded as governor
! by Cameron Morrison last January.

QUAINT LONDON THEATER
is PICTURED ON SCREEN

The theater in which the fire and panic
occurs in D. w. Griffith's newest picture,
Dream Street soon to be shown at the
Isis Theatre, is an exact replica of one
of the most famous of the old London
music halls.
To make the reproduction faithful, Mr..
Griffith sent to England for Frank limp
son, an elderly theatrical manager who
had been associated with music halls for
many years in earlier life.
The quaint old boxes. the narrow seats,
the antique stage lights and other details
that made the music halls so distinctive
in London. are all present. In these
theaters, no one removed his hat, and
few their pipes or cigars.
1t was in one of these theatres that
Harry Lauder first appeared, and many
of the greatest artists of the stage had
their beginning there.

FIRE IN ROSEMARY
TUESDAY MORNING
Smiths Garage, Johnson's Cafe and a
Store Room [ estroyed by Flames.
Water from Mills Prevented Disas-
hous Blaze.
LOSS AROUND TWENTY THOUSAND

Rosemary experienced its Sec
ond serious fire in eight months
when the building owned by j.
G. Smith and W. T. Fulgham
went upin flames early last Tues
day morning. The cause of the
fire is still unknown being dis
covered about one O'Clock at the
rear end of the frame partition
between Johnson's Cafe and
Smiths Garage.
Due to the fact that so few
people were abroad at that hour,
some delay was experienced in
getting hose lines started from
the mill hydrants and by the
time water was being thrown on
the buildings had been almost
completely gutted. Fire fighting
was also handicapped for a while
by the series of explosions from
acetylene tanks, oil barrels and
the gasoline tanks Of burning
automobiles in the garage.
Good work was done in pre-
venting the flames from spread
ing to adjoining buildings and
across the street; in fact, had
it not been for the help from the
mills and the volunteer fire fight
ing organization it is beyond
question that much of the busi-
ness section of Rosemary
would have been destroyed.
AS it was the loss was around
$40, 100000, including the garage
building, furniture and fixtures
and stock of automobile acces.
sories of j. G. Smith, the build
ing owned by w. T. Fulgham,
and the stock and fixtures of its
tenants, Johnson's Cafe and the
Rabil store. Three automobiles
which were being repaired in the
garage were also destroyed.
