Biekett has proclaimed October 9 as Fire Prevention Day to be observed in North Carolina or a rededi cation of the efforts of. all the people to the reduction. of the loss of life and property in preventable fires. Fire PreventionTay, thus comes in the middle of Clean-up Week, to be ob- L served during the week of October 5-11. Insurance Commissioner Jame,s K. Young is circularizing the State and carrying on a campaign of education through the Safety Leagues, and by means of the re presetatives of the department for the reduction of the fire losses through un ited intelligent application of fire pre vention methods. "It has been said," declared Governor Bickett in his proclamation entitled, "A Preventable Tax," "that there are two things that no man can escape death and taxes. The heaviest tax that is an nually levied upon the people of North j Carolina can be easily avoided that the fire waste tax. It amounts to more than all other taxes and yet the citizen can reduce it to a minimum. 'The Insurance Commissioner of North Carolina "has for years been edu cating, the people in ways and means of preventing this tax. The methods suggested are not fanciful, but have been tested and found to be wonderfully ef ficacious through years of experience. "Therefore, in accordance with Se. tion 4S21 of the Ilevisal, I hereby set spart Thursday. ' October 9th. as 'Fire Prevention Day' and on that day I urge all the people of the State to uniteyin a sincere and intelligent effort to apply the reviedies for fire prevention prescrib ed by the Insurance Commissioner ' of North Carolina, and thereby relieve themselves from this staggering but wholly unnecessary burden."

Of this production there were distributed 440.Lt.375 eggs. That fish consume the eggs of their own species and of other species is prov ed by an investigation by J.P.

' , it Doesn't FoMer.- "Jest because a- man. has unfertile brain is no indication that he can raise a lot of hair." W. O. Saunders, editor and publisher of THE INDEPENDENT was the vic tim. . of another assault last Saturday. His assailant this time was Edgar, alias Hicky Williams, a jitney driver who has figured in' recent scandals. Williams used a piece of a broom stick for a club, dealing Mr. Saxinders a blow over the head, temporarily dazing and bewilder ing his victim who was not expecting an attack. " When Saunders asked for Wil liams arrest, Williams struck him an other blow,, in the very presence of the officer. Mr. Saunders made no counter attack. He lost his head when he re ceived the first blo.w and kept his head when he recovered his composure. Wil liams was taxed, wtih a fine of $15 and costs for assault with a deadly weapon and $5 and costs for simple assault, when tried before Recorder Spence Tues day morning. Reports that Saunae was badly battered and had lost two teeth in the encounter were a few of thp lies nut out by an element here that has always given sympathy and support to any one who would assault the editor of this newspaper.
