It was just before dark when neighbors discovered a small blaze on the roof near a flue and the alarm was given. Krnm tho *1? ? Mr. Douglass' Home j Destroyed by Fire On last Friday night, at about 10 o'clock, the home of Mr. A. A. Douglass, about one mile south of Chesterfield, on the Scotch road, was burned. The building, owned by Sheriff D. P. Douglass, was a total lo^s. The furniture was partially covered by insurance. The cause of the fire is unknown. The blaze started on the roof, near a flue in which there had been no fire for several hours. When discovered great headway had been made and scarcely anything in the house could be saved. MRS.

Woodard, of Mt. I'roghau, met death while rabbit ' hunting near his borne last Wednesday morning. With his dog and gun he had left i home in the forenoon. An investigation made by his father about 2 p.m. revealed the fact that a fatal accident had occurred. It seems that the boy had used the butt of his gun either in taking a rabbit away from his dog or for the pupose of stirring the bushes where a rabbit was likely hidden. In some such manner the i gun was discharged, resulting in the boys death. ] Charlie was well liked by his young friends and was popular in the com- i munity, where his death caused a severe shock. !

The regular Saturday crowd was still in town and within a few minutes after the first alarm was given more than a thousand men were on hand with buckets, and fighting furiously to save the adjoining houses. But even the heroic efforts of all the men would have availed nothing but for other fortunate circumstances. The blaze, starting at the top of the house, was not at any time as hot as it would have been had it started near the ground. There was a very gentle breeze, just sufficient to help protect the nearest houses. It is generally believed that had mc nome of Mr. J. W. Griggs caught fire, all the other houses on Green Street would have burned. It had not been considered possible that one house could have burned from the middle of this section of closely built houses and the others spared. That this happened is due CORRESPONDENCE WEXFORD Miss Mollie Smith, of Wadesboro, visited Miss Marie Smith Sunday. Mrs. A. Moore has gone to Charlotte hospital for treatment.

It is also worthy of mention that the poor supply of water in the neighboring wells was exhausted and none at all would have been at hand had fl.n i r?ii me nit a|)it'ltu lUllIltT. Mr. Myers' loss on his house was very heavy, though much of his furniture and personal effects were saved. Mr. Myers says he has been overwhelmed by the kindness and sympathy of the pood people of Chesterfield in his trouble. All of the furniture of TNIr. J. W. Gripps was removed as a precautionary measure. As always happens in such cases, considerable daniape was done in the hasty handlinp of the furniture, but Mr. Gripps is profoundly prateful to all .who aided him at this time. Many people are expressinp the hope that this disaster will prove lesson enouph for Chesterfield and that quick action will be taken to install a waterworks and sewcrape system. It is felt that Mr. Myers' loss was a wholly preventable one, as the flames could have easily been extinguished with a small stream of water when first discovered, had such a supply been available.
