NfASS MEETING HELD AT
CITY HALL MONDAY NIGH!
FIRE LOSSES IN UNITED
STATES THE PAST YEAR
A mass meeting was hold at tho city
hall Monday jugJit of this week for
purpose of getting at tho fqcts
wfiUi reference to our public schools.
/jf)r. L, ,1. Brock, now mayor of our
city, having served r voral years ns
treasurer of tho School Board, first pre
sented the situation as lie know it. l)r.
tii^ock is well qualified to know th* 1
fiWhncia t condition of the schools, and
lie; tohl of bow the schools have been
l.did in cheek for the past several
yctirs, because of lack of sufficient
fftlds on which to operate.
Idr. A. K. Snead outlined the condi
tion of (lie town, and of tho schools.
Ml-. Snead having served as mayor of
(jj rrollton for the past three years,
knows just what tho running expenses
the town are. Ho stntod that the
m yor and council had tho uso of all
!®Reial licenses above regular 5 1-2
tt^ls advulorem tax. And that whereas
tlfey had other resources to fall back
on, the Board of Education 1ms no
minus whatever for raising funds, other
tlAn through the regular channel.
«W>rof. Walker showed that tho high
school enrollment alone had increased
3(fc over the same period of time ten
y^ars ago, and that tho amount of rev
enue for schools has increased less than
3(j;pcr cent.
ir. Dobbs spoke in favor of better
[port of our educational and spirit-
institutions.
ir. Roberts said that nothing should
ind in the way of making our town
pgress, that the schools in (their pres-
financinl condition were uunblo to
iction ns they should, and that he
no good reason why we should not
vite a $2.50 inreease on the thousand
for school purposes. He said that the
nferngc man spends that much money
id a month’s time on things that lie
dfesn’t really need, or upon luxuries,
jcv. E. L. Barber quoted some fncts
mred ivrom the result of tho draft in
recent world war, showing tho need
doubling our efforts that illiteracy
die erased from oui. country. He
_ ^ 'of how-mir-boys -need- the commer
cial work in this industrial age, and of
how our girls especially need training
in the art of homo-making.
The mass meeting was not as large,
as the friends of the movement had
hoped would be, beenuso they were
anxious to get tho facts before the peo
ple. The weather was very inclement,
and it is hoped that, nnothor meeting
may bo held so that moro of tho citi
zens may learn tho actual noods of tho
schools.
In tlie United States during tlie past
year the damage by (ire exceeded oiio-
lialf billion dollars; the Dill for tiie
upkeep of fire systems cost another
half billion dollars, a sum impossible
for Die mind of a banker to compre
hend, let alone tho mind of an ordi
nary [person. This amount would build
I macadamized highway over 400 miles
long, costing $25,000 per mile. Divid
ing this up into 42,240 lots 50 feet
wide, it would provide a house costing
$5,000 on* each lot, a garage costing
$500 and an automobile costing $1,000
iiml $3,000 running expenses for eacli
family, giving $500 additional for va
cation ‘expenses nml leaving a balance
of $12,000,000.
Those figures are staggering and
should bo considered by every individ
ual. Every family should clean up
trash about tho homo and bo careful
how and where fires are started. A
fire is easy to prevent, but hard to stop.
Tho Christmas holidays are coming
and the boys aro going to have'their
fire-works in tho back yard. Is your
back yard cleared of all trash and tire
• raps? Look about your place and get
ready for tho dangerous season. The
town is not in position 1o look after
tip in for you nml you should have
enough prido and forethought to look
after this yourself.

MRS. W. A. COOK
COMMITS SUICIDE
Oir last' Thursday afternoon, Novem
ber 22, just at dark, Mrs. W; Asbury
Cook stablied ivcrsolf to death by stick
ing a pocket knife into her throat five
times, severing the jugular vein. She
died almost iustnnlv, living only about
a minute, we understand. Just a week
before, it is reported, she attempted to
end her life and everything with which
she might injure herself lind been
hidden from here. Mr. Cook was clean
ing fish with his pocket knife and when
iii‘ went to the yard to empty tho pan
he was using, Mrs. Cook picked up the
knife which lie left laying on tllo ta
ble and it was wliilo ho and his son
were trying to remove the knife from
her that she committed tho fatal net.
Early in the summer Mr. and Mrs.
Cook hnd a daughter to commit suicide
by shooting herself. It is supposed that
Mrs. Cook hnd been despondent since
tiiat time. Efforts wore being made to
got Mrs. Cook placed in a sanitnrium
and nf course all her friends aro sorry
Dint it was not done before it was too
Into.
Mr. Business Man, is the back of your
store ready for the holidays! If not,
use nn ounce of prevention and save
vour business.
