KOME TO
IRMESS WEEK
WHEN THE BARN BURNS
Incendiary Origin Does Not Always
Prove Out as Reasonable
The Observer has been always in
clined to run counter to public opin
ion in the case of the burned barn
that it was "the work of an incen
diary" The barn fire occurs with too
much regularity and is too closely
confined to a certain season to make
the incendiary theory hold good in
the average case. And again the
motive is missing. What appears to
us a plausible theory of barn burn
ing has been advanced by Fire Mar
shal Buckley of the State of Ohio.
He seems to have devoted much
thought and investigation to the sub
ject of burned barns and has come
to the conclusion and a conclusion
that the scientific world will be like
ly to back that sweating hay is re
sponsible for the majority of barns
destroyed by fire. Under certain
conditions when hay is packed in a
barn it sweats, becomes heated and
bursts into flame. Buckley explains
that the cells in the hay continue
to live and to breathe for some time
after it is cut, and they, alone, in a
closely-packed, uoventilated mow,
heat the hay to a temperature of
132 degrees. To this is added the
heat from the microscopic spores of
fungi which continue to grow in
blades of hay during its fermenta
tion, the heat developed by the fer
mentation of the hay seeds and the
heat of the sun on the roof. These
three causes, says Mr. Buckley, may
heat unventilated hay to a tempera
ture of 212 degrees, where water
boils. Then the hay begins to char,
the charcoal so formed absorbs oxy
gen and the mas grows still hotter.
The heat perhaps reaches 265 de
grees ard then the hay bursts into
flame.
The barn is burned from heated
hay in another way, also, Sweating
hay "draws lightning." Water is a
good conductor of electricity. The
moisture trc sweating hay rises
rapidly because t is heated, forming
over the bar a funnel-shaped shaft
of vapor reaching up to the thunder
cloud, constituting a fairly good con
ductor. It is sweating hay and not
incendiarism that is responsible for
the destruction of barns. Charlotte

eeting of City Council
Tuesday night's session brought
rward several matters of interest
jjft the city.
f Mrs Frant flu rl.ir Qnl MJoo PI.,
Cox appeared before the board
asking for $100 for the Associated
Charities. Granted.
I P. C. Mela tyre of the Rose The
rtre wanted the meter rate on his
theatre reduced to 5c as formerly.
Refused. Then asked to be allowed
Q jurnish his own lights. Likewise
fused.
Oscar Moffitt wanted an allev
which had been open for years but
lately closed by a neighbor proper
ty-owner, reopened. Council decided
k was not in its jurisdiction and sug
gested that he employ council and
see what could be don;,
jj E. D Steele appeared for A. V.
Sapp, A. E. Tate and others in re
gard to sewering Richardson street.
Poard expressed a willingness to
xaKe tne matter up alter tne street
fwtahs done' so time after the
fcnrst of the year. Labor is so scarce
tthat it was a hard problem to get
f'Other needed work done.
Supt. Man asked that his selec
tion of Miss Nan B. Williams of
Kittrell and Miss Florence Pitts of
.4Alabamai a8 schoolteachers, be con
4firmed, which was done.
r ... .'
Matter oi taxing over tne sewer
age and water in Rowland Park de
ferred as council did not think it ad
visable at this time.
A E. Tate called attention to con
ition of Broad street and asked that
something definite be done. Coun-
cil
advised him that a representa?
jtiv
tfe,
ve was now in wasnmgion con
ifing with the Southern Railway
to paying ij part of the ex
hpense. "ifgfr
Chief Engineer Tapim thought
that Richardson street leaNi&ig to the
cemetery should be straightened out
Fome tavoid a bad turn, by run
ning the road along where $ he old
Burns saw stebd and making a
ss ploi?it of the" triangle. A. E.
te Mfcrtily agreed and offered that
rl of tiie land wanted, gratis Ac
cepted and the city manager, en
gineer and Mr. Tate requested to
get the matter in shape.
F. N. Tate referred to Centennial
avenue and asked that relief be
giveu travelers. Council advised
Mr. Tate that the rocmac people
had a large crusher on the way aud
plenty of material and they defi-
j nitely promised completion within a
month,' barring bad weather.
Chief A.'B. Horney arose to state
that the Seagraves truck had gone
to the bad and that the Southside
and city were in a bad fix and in
surance rates likely to be raised
with this fire protection gone. Coun
cil instructed Chief Horney and
Manager Murphy to get busy at
once and see what could be done.
Most probably the very latest fire
truck will be bought, as the old Sea
graves truck was no good and never
had been.
The council should see that the
Seagraves people pay for unloading
this truck on the city which cost
over $5,000
THE REASON WHY
So many people have asked "Why
Arch Hill has not been macadam
ized" and here's the answer "the
scarcity of labor.'' If Commissioner
Jones would push the matter it
would necessitate taking the few
hands here of Lassiter & Co. from
the street work and delay our im
provements and this Mr.Jones or no
one else here wants done. However
Lassiter & Co. have made plans to
macadam the Centennial avenue ex
tension to the county line and then
go right to Arch Hill and complete
that stretch of road, all to be com
pleted within one mouth.

various and sundry reasons wants
the merchants of the city to close
their doors by 10 o'clock on Satur
day nights and it is likely their re
quest will be granted.
A TOAST TO THE FLAG.
Here's to the red of it
There's not a thread of it.
No, nor a shred of it,
In all the spread of it,
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it red.
Here's to the white of it
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels the might of it,
Through day and night? ?
Womanhood 's care for it,
Make manhood dare for it,
Purity's prayer for it,
Keep it so white.
Here's to the blue of it
Heaven's view of it
Star-spangled hue of it,
Honesty's due of it,
Constant and true.
Here's to the whole of it,
Stars, stripes and pole of it,
Here's to the soul of it,
Red, white and blue.

The Million Dollar Mystery
"Mrs. Maude King was the victim
of a murder plot, hatched in Goth
am," says District Attorney Swann
of New York, "when she met death
outside of Concord, N. C, Aug 29."
Evidence in hand shows a conspir
acy to murder the wealthy widow.
A safety deposit box of Mrs. King,
opened yesterday, shows only a soli
tary rubber band. Gaston B. Means,
who was with Mrs. King at the time
of her death, is cited Tuesdav to
show cause why he should not be
held in contempt of court for refusal
to comply with Federal Judge Jas.
E. Boyd's order to surrender all
property belonging to Mrs. King.
May Exhume Body
The body of Mrs. Robert Bing
ham, formerly Mrs. Henry M. Flag
ler, may be exhumed to definitely
determine her death and set at rest
various ugly rumors. Celebrated
physicians and surgeons will per
form the autopsy. The grave in
Oakdale cemetery, Wilmington, is
being closely guarded.
NEGRO SOLDIERS FETED
The negro soldiers from High Point
making up the new army, to the
numher of 36, were banqueted Tues
day night. At the Normal College
Prof. Griffin and Dr. G. A. Gerran
addressed the men and asked that
they conduct themselves as true sol-
diers. After the speaking the ban
quet was given at the First Baptist
church, colored. John Foust acted
as toastmaster. Arthur Edmonson
and Dr. Gerran headed the parade to
the church.
TO MAKE BOX CARS HERE
It is most probable that the gov
ernment will take over the Southern
Car Co. of this city and use the
plant to make box cars instead of
street cars. The matter has been
under consideration for some time.
It is believed the plant will be espe
cially suited for such work.
TRADE WUH OUR ADVERTISERS
Our subscribers will do well to
confine their trading to our adver
tisers as they are all reliable and

tion in order to retain your patron
age. Show them that you recipro
cate by trading with them.
IF POSSIBLE
The Metropolitan Shows will be
here next week as advertised if the
Southern Railway will haul them; if
not Secretarv Johnson of the Mer
chants' Association expects to get
the Pollock Shows here, routed over
the Southbound and Carolina Rail
ways. The railroads are busy haul
ing troops and taking care of perishr
able stuff and it's a problem to get
shows and the like .tranaportated.
It is hoped to get the Metropolitan
Shows here in sections, attached to
the regular trains-
Wm. Tate, one of the pioneers in
