"A town of 1900 and nearby set
Element were in ruins, seven persons
were dead and other small towns were
threatened today as forest fires con-
verted virtually the whole of timber

torch.
Another settlement was wiped out
in northern California.

that a third of Myrtle Point, Oregon,

The settlement of Prosper was wiped

Fifteen hundred were homeless.
Only shift or dimunition in daily
winds or a rain could save at least
three towns and thousands of acres OF
timberland, authorities said. More
than 5000 men were on the fire line
The holocaust broke loose northeast
of Bandon late Saturday. BY Sunday

Other fires, nourished in finder

A Fascist army of 5000 strong COM

Try i. c. RASK ERVILT,

Raleigh, Sept. 28.-Between so and
so counties will vote to set up county
liquor stores if the 1897 General AS
sembly enacts a Statewide local OPP
ton law which will permit any coun-
ties which so desire to hold county
wide elections to decide whether or
not liquor stores shall be opened and
operated on legal basis, according
to the prevailing opinion among those
who have been keeping an ear to the
ground in the present "dry" counties.
With II counties already operating
legal liquor stores, the belief is that
from 35 to 43 additional counties will
swing into the "wet" column as soon
as they are permitted to hold local
option elections, while more Optimis-
tic observers believe that as many as
IS counties will legalize the sale of
liquor through county stores as soon
as they are given an opportunity to
vote on the question.
A member of one of the ABC boards
in one of the larger wet counties who
is we'll acquainted in every section of
the State, especially with county COM
missioners and county officials, is al
ready predicting that at least Is coun-
ties will vote to establish liquor
stores, which means that So addi-
tional counties will have to vote to
legalize liquor. Others who have been
making a close study of sentiment in
many of the present dry counties are
convinced that the total will rise to
between 50 and 60 just as soon as the
present dry counties are given an OPP
pcrtunity to hold elections on the
