C., are anxious “to try and equal” the six- second record made by No. 21 Engine Company of the District Fire Depart- ment, in leaving its quarters on alarm, and Fire Chief George S. Wat- son has been requested to furnish the Southern city with full information as to conditions under which the rec- ord was attained. In a letter to Chief Watson, A. McC, Marsh, chief of the Columbia depart- ment, said his men had read of the company’s achievement Washington The in a North Carolina newspaper. story throughout the United States by the Associated Press, and the Washing- ton department has received congratu- lations from many cities as a result.

We are not anxious to expand by rea- son of inflated talk: we’ll bulld our city not on sand, but on the firm, eternal rock. Far better ‘tis to tell the truth and see some moneyed gent depart, than have him stay and bulld a booth inspired by lies from alecks smart.” So when a stranger from the East comes here with moeney to in- vest, we bid him to the weekly feast and for his comfort do our best. ““W do not claim that Punktown's free,” the speaker of the day declares, “‘from all the evils there may be, or from 11l fortune’s tricks and snares.
