ELEVEN DIE AS
BLAZE DESTROYS
SOUTHERN PRISON
Attempts Of Rescue Par
ties To Reach Men Not
Successful

KENANSVILLE, N. c. March 7.
W.P)-Eleven negro convicts were
burned to death early today when
fire destroyed the Duplin county
prison camp on the Wilmington
Kenansville highway, several miles
south of here. There were So con-
victs in the stockade. Guards and
citizens rescued Al of them before
the raging blaze halted their activ-
tiles.
OF the al men rescued, IL were
white and 80 were negroes. Cries
of horror and pleas for help rent
the air as the conflagration swept
through the camp.
The alarm was sounded by Jchn
Best, camp superintendent, who
used the only telephone available
to summon aid from Kenansvi]le.
Guards Immediately turned out
every convict they could, but the
heat became so terrific they could
not reach the II remaining negroes.
A great portion of Kenansville' s
population rushed from their beds
and homes in the dark to the camp
and aided guards in rescue work.
The fire broke out at a. m.
| Originating in the kitchen of the
camp from an unknown cause, the
conflagration spread rapidly.
Guard Owen Baisben played the
chief role in saving Al of the con-
victs. D. F. Nicholson was the only
other guard on duty.
However, they were unable to
reach the remaining II inmates
quartered in a cell near the Kitchen.
Only three of the dead had been
identified at 9 q. m, according to
j. E. Jerritt of KenanSville. They

"spoils system" measure, the $685.
100000 state budget, water devel-
opment. apportionment and sew
eral crime measures were the lead
ing issues ready for discussion.
What the governor will do with
the Fellom "spoils bill was the
subject of wide discussion today.
Early this week he had planned
visors and legislative leaders, but
the meeting was postponed.
1t is expected the executive will
alter his original demand that all
state positions, with the exception
of civil service jobs, be "at the
pleasure of the governor instead
of term appointments as at present.
The next step in the movement
to put across a water development
program for the state is the report
of the joint legislative water COM
mittee, headed by Senator Brad

Crittenden indicated the report
was being competed and might

that if I lived and the baby lived
I'd never let him know about his

parents for everything that's hap

a mistake. Because if Mark had
really loved me-if he'd cared the
way I did-nothing would have kept
him away.
He'd have come back to me and
no matter what any one said to him
ne wouldn't have believed it. He'd
have come to me for the truth!
Mark didn't do that. When I
made myself really face these facts,
I knew I had to stop thinking about
him. Well that's-all there is to it!
I told myself to stop thinking about
him and I have. Little Marks been

Chris gave an animated account
of some Office happenings and the
earlier subject Of conversation was
not resumed.
If Chris was not convinced that
Norma was right in failing to COM
municate with Mark, she neverthe-
less kept her own counsel. Keeping
out of others personal affairs was
a cardinal principle she observed
rigidly.
Caring for the baby, following the
daily schedule provided by the hos
pitaI, gave Norma little time for
retrospective worries.
The days passed swiftly. Young
Mark was strong and healthy. 1t
was hard for Norma to believe that
babies cried when nothing in par
ticular was wrong. That wailing
might be good exercise.
She schooled herself to a routine
of maps and feelings and nobly re-

expected to close His career upon the
cross. It was not that He desired to
escape the peril of the cross, but He
had recently passed through SO many
trying experiences that He feared that
He would die there in the garden; He
felt Himself dying there, and so fail
ing to accomplish His mission" In that
hour Luke tells us how in His agony
Jesus prayed earnestly until His sweat
became as it were great drops Of blood
falling down upon the ground
There are unSounded depths in the
thrice-repeated prayer Of the Master as
He agoniZed and prayed. We recognize
the evidence of His filial relationship
with the Father and Christ's desire to
do His will. In His asking that the cup
be removed, certainly Jesus was not
seeking to escape the cross. We read
in Hebrews that He offered up prayers
and supplications with strong crying
and tears to Him who was able to save
Him from death and YVES heard in that
He feared" This evidently points to
the fact that Jesus was saved from a
natural death, which He feared, in the
garden and was strengthened by the
presence Of an angel who ministered
unto Him, so that He was given power
from above to endure the trials Of the
next Is hours. In GethSemane Jesus
had fought out the battle of Calvary
and conquered through prayer.
Betrayal and Arrest.
While He was surprised and hurt at
finding His disciples asleep when He
returned twice during His agony in the
garden. the third time He was ready to
meet Judas and the company that had
come OUT to arrest Him. He did not
wait for them to find Him, for He
aroused His disciples, saying, Rise, let
us be going; behold he that betrayeth
me Is at hand" His watchful eye had
detected the approach of His enemies
and He would not let them find His
disciples, who had failed to sympathize
with him, unprepared. They understood
the hypocritical, cold-blooded and devil
ish action of Judas, who approached the
Lord and after Saluting Him kissed Him
again and again until the soldiers came
and arrested the Master.
Although the apostles had failed
Jesus in the hour of His agony they
demonstrated their loyalty by offering
to battle against the larger number.
Peter, without securing Christs ap-
prevail cut off the ear of the servant of
the high priest. Although Jesus showed
His indignation at their evident cow
ardliness. He showed a poise, calmness
and gentleness that proved He had won
victory during His agonizing expert
ence in the garden. He sought their
permission to heal the ear of the serv-
ant and made no effort to resist arrest
He knew that it was their hour and for
the moment 1.-The power Of darkness"
would apparently succeed. He knew
that He would win, for He had fought
through the coming day of trial. tribu-
lation, and saw the victory that He
would win upon the cross. His success
should guide us. whenever we have to
face our Gethsemanes. Our Father
will hear us If we ask His help in the
Masters name. He will give us VIC
tory If we trust Him.
