Two Brick Stores and Contents De- “ gtroyed. (Special to Reflector.) Wituiamston, N. C., Jan. 4— Lately several attempts have been made to burn buildings in Walliamston, and the fire fiend paid the town another visit early this morning. Just before 2 o’clock the night watch- man discovered the fire and gave the alarm. ‘The fire was found ia a block of two brick stores owned by J. KR. Mobley and occupied by A. J. Mizell and F. K. Hodges grocery and bar, and Hodges kept a toy store with a restaurant in the rear. - The fire originated in the Mizell store and 1s supposed to be the work of an incendiary. The flames spread ra- pidly to the other store and both were entirely consumed. ‘lhe building was situated in the heart of the business portion of the town and it seemed al— most impossible to save the remainder, but by heroic work ef citizens tne fire was gotten ender control and confined to the two buildings named. The losses are as follows : J. R. Mobley, two stores, $3,000 ; fully covered by insurance. A. J. Mizell, stock $2,000 ; insurance $1,000. F. K. Hodges and H. $150 ; Mizell kept a Cowan, loss po insuranee. DIED. At 5.30 o’clock this morning Mr. B. S. Wilson, aged 28 years, died at the home of his parents in this town. Lie had been sick several weeks with ty- pho d fever, and during the past two weeks his condition was critical. but for the last day or tvo it had been hoped there was some chahge for the better. Yet dispite this hope and the careful attention given him the dread disease could not be checked, and his spirit passed quietly away at the hour above stated. The death of Burney Wilson brings sadness to many hearts beside his family andrelatives, for his triends were legion. It also breaks the chain of a large and Lappy family circle. This is the first bereavement that has visited them in many years, and to his aged parents the loss is sore indeed, Four brothers and four sisters are also left to mourn his death. The family have the sym- pathy of the communi y in fheir aftlic- tion. The burial.will take place in Cherry Hill Cemetery Wednesday morning. Dittle Annie Lyan Joyner, age 17 months, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Joyner, died at the College Hotel this mourning at 2 o’clock. The death of the child was quite unexpected, ste having been sick only two or three divs, and the suiden shock sends a se— vere pang tothe hearts of the fond parents. We extend sincere sympathy to them in the bereavement and com- mend them for comfort to Him who said “Suffer little children to come un— to me,” The interment took place this after- noon at Mr. Joyner’s home place, three miles from town. A Missing Man, Mr. John W. Sherman, a well known newspaper man of Lynchburg, Va., disappeared on the 17th of December. It is thought that he was suffering from temporary mental aberration.

Attempt to Rob a Printing Office and the Building Set on Fire.” We regret exceedingly to learn -of ot the disaster’ met. by the Charlotte Observer on Saturday night. entered the office of the business mana- ger of the job department, on the second floor of the Observer building, , and at- tempted to blow open the safe. The paper stock in’the room was instantly ignited, and the fire spread with such rapidity that:the men in the newspaper composing rooms barely had time to get out, losi.g: their other effects. coats, third partly gutted. A new book biad- ery plant had just been put in on the sccond floor, and this was entirely de- stroyed, and all the presses were more or less burned besides the loss of a $3,- (00 stock of paper. The Observer’s battery of Mergan— tlialer type-setting machins was swept by the fire, the bolts being burned vil and the key-boards melted. The loss is fully covered by insurance. The police claim to have a clue to the sate-bluwers. The combination and its outworgs were blown from the safe and the hinges were mis sing but the door withstood the shock.

We regret service views that appeared re- cently in a New York paper. As possibly throwing some light ou the obviously malignant charac- ter ot this attack, Mri Reosorolt said: “Just before Thanksgiving 25} representative of the- paper-in| question came to:meand said that he was interviewing a number of prominent men as to what they were thankful for.

Solicit funds with which to buy. bread for themselyes and their children. The charitable society which has made the investigation attributes this condition to hard times and the general worthless- ness of the men. The diyorce mill in Topeka is running on jeadily. Every week divorces are granted to men and women, incompatibility of temper being the general charge.—Topeka,Kan, Dispatch. It has been considered a mat- ter of sufficient importance to herald abroad that--the: suit of clothes which MreMcKunley will wear on. the ocasion of his in- auguration will be made out cf cloth woven from. Ohio. wool. This is not intended so much as an advertisement of the superior excellence of Ohio woo! as it is which will be candidate for protection against foreign free wool when Mr. McKinley vets in the saddle and calls his extra session of Congress to fix up a new tariff. But the fact that Mr. McKinley, will on ‘that occasion wear asuit of American clothes, made out of American wool, and Ohio wool, too, suggests a way by which American wool, includ- ing Ohio wooi, micht get a mighty boost without depending in apy- way whatsoever on the tariff. Let Mr. McKinley’s example be fol- lowed by all the gentiemen and gentlewomen in bis party and in other parties, who can dike them- selves Out in wovlen garments, and let them buy and wear United States cloth instead of sending abroad for it. This would give such a boom to the wool-growing business that the American sheep, aad the Ohio sheep in particular, would become too proud and saucy to carry favor with a Con- gressman or to ask for protection. Let the people who want to en- courage American wool patro- nize the American sheep.

EDISON THE DREAMER. How He Got Rid of Some Telegraphic |. Drudgery. Some one had referred to Edison as Victor Hugo when he made his, appearance as an operator in our telegraph office in Boston, and it was by that name we generally spoke of him. Every device, was employed to thwart his soarings after theinfinite and his divings for the pa niger as we regarded them, and to gef an amount of work out of him that was equivalent to ‘the sum paid per diem for his serv- ices, and among them was that of having him receive the press report from New York... He did not like this, the work continuing, steadily from 6:30 p. m, until 2 a. m., and leaving him no time in which to pursue his studies. One night about 8 p. m. there came down.an inquiry as to where the press report was, and, on going to the desk where Edison was at work, Night Manager Leighton was horrified to find that there was nothing ready to go up stairs, for the reason that Edison had. copied between 1,500 and 2,000 words of stock and other market reports in a hand so small that he had only filled a third of a page. Leighton laughed in spite of him- self, and saying: ‘‘Heavens, Tom. Don’t do that again!’’ hastened to cut the copy up into minute. frag- ments and have it prepared in a more acceptable manner. -While this was occurring Edison | went on receiving, and the frequent trips of the noisy dummy box, which communicated with the pressrooms on the next floor, pave evidence that writing with an ultimate view to putting the Lord’s prayer on a 3 But all at once there was a great noise, and it was evident that Press Agent Wailace, a most profane | man, was coming down the stairs, swearing and shouting as he came. Everybody grew excited except Edi- son, Who was perhaps dreaming of the possibilities in some of the realms of electrical. endeavor in which he has since won renown. But we did not have long to wait to know the cause of Wallace’s visit. Kicking open the door, he appeared to us, but he was speechless. The last note of his voice and the last remnant of a vocabulary of blas- phemy which was famous through. out the city was gone. Standing there with both hands full of small, white pages of paper, he could only beckon. Leighton approached him and tenderly took the sheets of pa- per from him, to find that Edison had made the radical change from his first style of copy to simply put- ting one word on each sheet, direct- ly in the center. He had furnished in this way several hundred pages in a very few minutes. He was relieved from duty on the press wire and put on another cir- cuit, while the much tried Leighton | devoted himself to bvinging Wallace back toa normal condition, admit- ting of the use of his voice and the flow of his usual output of profani- ty.—Walter J.
