A most distressing accident occur-red
near Wentworth at an early hour
yesterday morning, when the building
at the county home used for the in-sane
department was destroyed by
fire. Two inmates—Lige Garner and
George Thompson, both white—lost
their lives In the flames. The origin
of the fire i6 unknown, but it is sup-posed
to have started from a heater
located In the hall of the building.
The roof was falling in when the fire
was discovered and it was impossible
to reach the inmates, who were burn-ed
into an unrecognizable mass.
The Ministers' Association of
Greensboro held a meeting Monday
to consider the advisability of hold-ing
a simultaneous revival in this

revival conducted in a number of the
churches here last September. No
definite action was taken at the meet-ing
further than the appointment of s
committee to correspond with Gipsy
Smith, the celebrated evangelist Who
recently conducted revivals in Wash-ington
and other large cities. If the
services of Rev. Mr. Smith should be
secured, probably a big union meot-ng
will be held "in the auditorium.
The young men of the First Pres-byterian
church, assisted l.y the
young women of the congregation,
gave an enjoyable reception at the
Smith Memorial building Friday
night, complimentary to the Presby-terian

Upon arrival the young women were
ushered into the reception room and
introduced to their hosts. After
listening to several musical numbers,
the guests were invited into the din-ing
room in the basement, where ele-gant
refreshments were served. The
dining room was attractively deco-rated
in Normal colors—gold and
white.
WHERE IS IT?
What Have You Dona With the
Money You Drew Out of the Bank
During tne Panic of 1907?
There Is seldom a day that we do
not have some one coming in and
starting a new account out of the
fragments of what is left of the
money that he drew out of the bank
during the panic. One man came
into the Home Savings Bank a few
weeks ago and deposited a little over
$200, which was the fragment saved
from the handsome sum of $1,400
which he withdrew from that bank
during the panic. The Home Sav-ings
Bank has grown stronger all
the while, and there has never been
a minute that his money would not
have been waiting for him at this
institution. If he had left the $1,400
in bank, it would now be $1,487.11,
which includes interest at four per
cent, compounded quarterly, accord-ing
to the rules of the Home Sav-ings
Bank. Instead of having $1,487.11
he only has a little over $200. but
he has repented of the error of his
way and returned to the old reliable
way of saving money by starting a
savings account with a savings bank
and adding a little to it every chance,
which, with the interest, soon swells
the amount to a snug sum.
Savings banks conducted on the
old well established principle of safe-ty
for savings banks, is one of the
safest places in the world to keep
your money. They will not agree to
pay you as high a rate of interest
as some people will agree to pay you,
but it is absolutely safe, and the in-terest
Is added to the principal every
three months, whether you go to see
about it or not.
Now, if you made the mistake of
drawing your money out of the bank
during the panic, do not wait until
you have spent it all, but deposit
what you have on hand in the Home
Savings Bank, and keep adding to
It, and this, with the interest, will
keep it growing.
Engineer Smith Seriously Injured.
Mr. Robert H. Smith, a locomotive
engineer on the Southern Railway,
running between Greensboro and Mt
Airy, was frightfully injured in an
accident near Walnut Cove Saturday,
when bis engine and four cars were
derailed. Mr. Smith was thrown from
his cab and fell under the engine,
where he was pinned for several
hours. It was impossible to extricate
him from his perilous position until
a wrecking crew arrived and lifted
the engine. While pinned under the
engine Mr. Smith was scalded about
the shoulders and back and suffered
intensely.
He was brought to Greensboro late
Saturday afternoon and removed to
his home on Dillard street. It was
thought at first that Mr. Smith was
fatally injured, but his physicians say
now he will recover, though it is
probable that he will be confined to
his home for quite a while.
To Teach Guilford's Geography and
History.
Prof. W. H. Swift, superintendent
of the city graded schools, has evolv-ed
a plan to teach the pupils of the
schools the h'story and geography of
Greensboro and Guilford county. He
will use the new county map and a
map of the city in the geography
classes, believing this plan will stim-ulate
interest in the work on the
part of the pupils.
Prof. Swift will appreciate any as-sistance
from those who may be able
to supply him with data concerning
the early settlement and history of
the county. Doubtless there are
many readers of the Patriot who havt
in their possession information that
could be used to good advantage by
the teachers when they take up this
work.
