Cape Fear Manufacturing Company Suf-fers
a Fire Loss of Over $20,000
Late Monday Night.
The Cape Fear Manufacturing Com-pany's
large lumber plant on Lewis
street was damaged by fire to the ex-tent
of $20,000 or. more late Monday
night, the main building, together with
all the machinery, dry kilns and stored
material iu the process of manufacture
being entirely consumed. The fire was
discovered by the colored uight watch-man,
Isom Shaw, about 11 o'clock,
just as the flames appeared in the roof
above the boiler room. He turned in
an alarm that brought the fire depart-ment
promptly, but owing to the high-ly
inflammable nature of the plant the
blaze had assumed awful proportions
before water could be turned on.
The firemen directed their attention to
the lumber yard aud other surrounding
property aud fought valiantly for sev
eral hours before the danger ofa genera
conflagration had passed. The flames
reached across the street to Glascock's
old foundry building, the Jeffreys meat
market aud other buildings nearby,
but each time they were quickly sub-dued.
The hardest work of the fire-men
was to save the lumber stored
iu the yards near the burniug factory.
More effective work was never done by
the department. All uight long sev-eral
streams were kept on the blazing
ruins of the main building.
Fortunately the company's office
building adjacent to tiie main buildiug
was saved, and the books and papers
are intact. The loss 011 building, ma-chinery
aud material amouuts to
twenty thousand dollars or more, the
exact ligures being as yet unavailable,
as it is not delinitely known how
much damage was done the lumber
nearby in the yards. Only $6,000 of
insurance was carried by the couipauy,
and the loss falls heavily, yet the busi-ness
will be resumed at the earliest
possible time, in buildings of a more
substantial nature.
The officers of the Cape Fear Manu-facturing
Company are: President, J.
F. Hodgiu, of Kim 1 nike, Va.; secretary
and treasurer, John A. Hodgiu; general
manager, 15. EL Smith.
One of the indirect losses from the
lire that can not lie computed is that
sustained by the seventy-five or more
employes of the plant. They are
thrown out of employment at a time
of year when least able to stand the first provided.
Extension of the Rural Free Delivery Ser-vice.

GREEHSBORO TOBACCO MARKET.
MARKET REPORT.
The receipts on our market for the
past week have not been large owing
to the dullness which always follows
the holidays. The quality of the offer-ings
is about the same as it was in the
wind-up of last year and the prices a
shade better; In fact, we think all grades
are selling a little bit better than they
were before the holidays, but doubt
very much if they hold it, so we would
advise our friends to dispose of what
tobacco they have ready for market at
the earliest possible date. Our buyers
and warehousemen are all ready and
anxious for the weed and will do all
they can to please you when you come
to market. Wishing you a happy and
prosperous New Year we hope to see
you soon with a load of good tobacco.

Private Secretary to the Governor.
The PATRIOT, In common with the
other friends of (Jen. J. D. Glenn, is
pleased with the announcement that
he has been made private secretary to
his brother, Gov. It. B. Glenn. Owing
to the confidential nature of the duties
of the position it is natural that the
governor should invoke the services of
oue iu whom he could repose the ut-most
confidence. Gen. Gleun's inti-macy
with public affairs iu North Car-olina,
as well as his fitness and ability
to fill such a position, make him the
most available person for the place.
He gives up a more lucrative position
as law agent of the Southern Hallway
to accept this, as his health iu recent
mouths has become to a certain extent
undermined. That he will make a
most efficient private secretary to the
chief executive of our commonwealth
theie is not the shadow of a doubt.

Road Bonds Sell at a Good Figure.
The highway commission met yes-terday
aud opened bids for the $60,000
block of road bonds that were recently
offered for sale. There were seventeen
bids before the board, not including
one or two that were irregular, inas-much
as they were unaccompanied by
the required check. F. R. Fulton &
Co., of Chicago, were the successful
bidders, their bid beiug $66,105.00, or a
trifle over 1.10. Several of the bids
were above $61,000 aud $65,000. The
sale would indicate that Guilford se-curities
are gilt-edged.
At a meeting of the Home Mission

will be served from Greeusboro,
probably by Rev. C. E. Hodgin. Sev-eral

WAXTKD—Parties liviug in the couu-uuusual
accident Monday afternoon
while coming to towu with a load of
tobacco. He was staudiug ou the
doubletrees of his wagon when he came
to a rough place iu the road and to urge
his team gave oue of the horses a light
tap with his foot. Instantly the ani-mal
kicked, striking Mr. Green just be*
low the left knee. He paid little atten-tion
to the wound at the time, although
it naturally paiued him some, and it
was not until about ten o'clock that
night that he thought to look at the
injured leg. He was surprised to find
a long gash in the skin, his clothing
not haviug been cut, aud it required
four stitches to close the wound. The
horse that did the kicking was a pa-tient
old animal that had never been
known to cut such a caper before.
