Fire Chief F. Young
Urges Caution Here

Frank Young, Tabor City Fire
Chief, has urged all local citizenry
to be especially careful of fire this
week in observance of National Fire
Prevention Week that has been pro-
claimed during the week of October
6-l2.
mo one gains when something
burns" Chief Young pointed out.
Tabor City fire fighting facilities
are limited as brought out several
weeks ago when Engineer Pete Rey-
nolds reported to the town commits
sioners that should major fire
break out here that would require
the use of several lines, the fire
could be fought for only % minutes.
1t could not be fought nearly that
long if the one storage tank was
not filled to capacity at the time.
This information was brought out
in connection with the proposals for
bringing greater facilities to the
town through the general plan of
public utility expansion. This fact
is worth remembering at this time,
National Fire Prevention week, when
all persons are asked to be especial
ly watchful of anything that might
create a fire hazard.
Chief Young has asked that all
persons having fire hazards around
their home clean them up and thus
give added protection to not only
their property but to that in the
immediate surroundings.
As Sherwood Brockwell, N. c. Fire
Marshall stated in a recent speech
entitled 1.-THE Law. Common Sense
and Fire Prevention, state laws re-
quire persons to refrain from allow
ing trash to accumulate, and the law
has authorized the inspection OF
premises and removal of trash and
other like and dangerous materials.

FairnOnt Wins
Grid Bout Here
In Last Minute

Intercepting Tabor City pass in
the last 80 seconds of play, the
Fairmont football team pushed
across touchdown and passed for
the extra point to exc out a win
over the Tabor City eleven here
last Friday afternoon rs.
Tabor City had outplayed the
visitors all the way and had
pounded out a touchdown in the
fourth quarter that led spectators
to believe thta the game was we'll
in hand for the locals. But with
only seconds remaining in the
game and the home team in pos
ession of the ball in midfield, two
passes were thrown in an appar-
ent effort to add another marker.
The second one backfired and a
Fairmont lineman trotted all the
way down the field for the score.
Outstanding in the ball game for
the locals was Ted Fipps, the fast
est thing on the field. Fipps did
everything that a backfield man
can do in one afternoon, running
brilliatly, catching passes and re-
covering fumbles. -,
Fred Soles, Andy Jernigan and
the line in general also played a
bang up game and by every rule
of the game, outplayed the win
ners. Still the score read to at
the finish.
The first quarter was highlight-
ed by an intercepted pass by Fipps
to halt a Fairmont drive. A few
minutes later, Fairmont blocked an
attempted kick and took over on
the Tabor City 80 yard line. Sam
Jackson then intercepted the Sec
ond visitor pass. Soles heaved a
pass to Maxton Spivey, who play:
ed a fast game all afternoon, and
Spivey drove to the so yard line
for Tabor's first first down. Falr@
mont called time out. Soles then
ran for another first down.
A tricky reverse to Ted Flpps
was good for 20 yards. Then with
the goal line almost reached, the
locals fumbled and Fairmont re-
covered. -.
The second quarter saw nothing
sensational as both teams flonder-
ed about in midfield unable to get
near the goal line.
In the third quarter, Fairmont
turned on the steam, rolling up
three first downs in a row and
reaching the five yard line before
fumbling, the ball being recovered
bv Tabor City. The locals then
drove again, making two first
downs and punting. Fairmont fun
bled the punt and Tabor recover
ed. Soles then rifled pass to
Spivey good for 80 yards Inc
drive ended three yards short OF
nav dirt and Fairmont took over.
Winston broke loose for Far,
mont in the fourth quarter for oo
wards and was downed from be-
hind lust after he crossed the MD
field stripe by Fripps. Three other
attemnts went for naught and
Fairmont kicked, Tabor City
blocking the punt and recovering.
a line buck accounted for one tlrst
down; Soles passed to Fipps tor
20 more and then ran over rlght
tackle to score with four minutes
remaining in the game. !,
Fairmont received and lost, the
hall on downs and the story OF the
intercepted pass has already been
told.

some one let the cat out OF the bag
upon finding out that Mr.. Rogers
had come to work slightly late one

and he admits it, he arose, ate
breakfast and sat around for an
hour or more, thinking it was Sun.

he were not going to work, the
light dawned and he rushed down
to his office. But by that time,
his unusual absence brought about
the discovery of his calendar mis-

Adam God Sharp, S9,
Leader Of Kansas CITY
Riot Of 1903, Is Dead
by fhe Assoeioisd Press

JOPLIN, Mo, Mar. 9.-James
Sharp, self-styled Adam God" who
said he would never die and who
once led a fanatics riot in which
five persons WERE killed, died of a
heart attack at SO after doing Jig
yesterday to prove his youth"
Sharp, who professed a hatred for
the law and its officers, led the
famous Adam God" riot in Kansas
City's streets in 1908. He had lived
in virtual seclusion at Joplin since
his release from the Missouri peni-
tentiary in 1928.
The riot had its inception when a
probation officer sought to question
Sharp concerning his use of children
| in his band of street evangelists,
Shouting II am Adam God" father
Of Jesus Christ" Sharp ordered the
officer to get out and struck him
with the butt of a revolver.
The religious fanatic, f1ourishing
revolver and knife, then led his
followers in march on police head
quarters. attracting a crowd that
heard Sharp shout: We'll show
these sheep thieves. Well sing in
front OF the station. Let them dare
TO stop the father of Jesus Christ" !"
A police lieutenant approached
and ordered Sharp to- drop his
weapons. Louis Pratt, member of
Sharp's band, shot and wounder the
officer. An exchange of gunflre
killed Pratt, two patrolmen, by
stander and Pratt's daughter, Lulu,
IL, one of several singers in the re-
ligious sect. Sharp was wounded
slightly.
Sharp was sentenced to Is years
imprisonment after a colorful trial
in which he violently denounced
witnesses and his own lawyers. He
insisted he had revelations from
God" to guide his acts.
His wife, Melissa, accompanied
him to prison, got a nearby job and
never missed visitors day until his
release Is years later.
