U, WOODWARD. Alitor THURSDAY. DbCEViBER 29, I9IO ?t,x,r.nnn^VT Tf* fllTI? ARE WL liMJii'rMvr^i iv/ v/ ^ .? DANGER. Much has boon written and a groat deal more thought and said concerning the deplorable* lack of adequate me ins of Ugh*in# lire in Conway It is true that we have a combined chemical and water engine, which, in a way, is very good and is some protection, but It is equally true that out of reach of the lire well at th*? Commercial hotel corner and th i at ihe town hall, the engine is absolutely useless, except it be for an ornamental appendage to our m .nicipal government, by reason of thM insufficiency of the water suppi; , or rather no supply at all. We all appreciate our position and recognize the great dinger which hourly menace our property, and ye4, straDge to relate, v%e are making but little or no ?.-fT >rt to reduce that danger to a minimum. It is also conceded, we have ample maud is soon supplied with improved fire fighting apparatus, we are liable at any moment oT having the reasons to belie\ e, that unless the desad experience of seeing the principal business block in the town laid iu ashes and thousands of dollars worth of the people's property go up in smoke. It will then be too late to lock the door after the horse has been stolen, and it will be too late to provide fire protect'on for property after that property has been destroyed by fire. It seems to us that the better plau would be to anticipate conII igration, and be prepared to meet it w'.th adequUe apparatus when it does come. Conway has indeed been pbenomiutally fortunate iu regard to disas-| trous fires, and while other towns and cities have been swept and razed aud devastated by flames Conway has been spared the sad spectacle of witnessing its places of business made v; c .nt by an unwelcomed visit of the fire demon. But it is not logical; it is not wisdom, and it is not even common sense to pin our our faith to the fallacious belief that, because, we have escaped so far, we will escape to the end of time. We sincerely hope that this might prove to be the case with Conway, and that we will never be called upon to witness the horrors of a configuration which has been the experience of so many of cur less fortunate neighbors and friends. But in this world of uncertainty, in which the unexpected most always happen, we know not. the day, nor night* nor h iur when oar startled ears will be siluted with the cry of 1 fire," or be rudely awakened from our dream of security by h * clanging of bt lis and the discharge of firearms summoning us to the assistance of neighbors aud friends to fight fire with a measly supply of buckets and no water amounting to anything. Isn't it better to be prepared for just such au emeigmcy, 10 as to be in a position to sV>p the flones before much damage is done? We believe so, don't you? The most feasible, the most economical. and at the same time the most effective plan for performing this work that wo have yet seen is that suggested by Mr S T Sessions, now a member of Council, some time ago, which is nothing more or less than a sand jvpe located in some convenient place and of sufficient beigt.. to throw water on the highest building in town, with hydrants judiciously placed so as to give tin greatest amount of protection for the least expendi*ure of money and a sufficient quanit.v of hose to do effective work. Tbis plan has all the attractive features to make it popular, and useful if needed, that could possibly bo adopted. I3y its adoption ninety nine lires out of a hundred could be extinguished in their incipiency and much property saved. What fay you, Mr Business Man? What say ye, City Fathers? Tlx proposition is up to you. m The cotton growers of Georgia have deeleared war against the Boll Weavil. No quarters are asked nor expected aryl it will be a war of extermination. m:t' fan *i i **??? ??? ?????? 1 TAX RETURNS.
