Benjamin Morley, Of Jonesborough,
caught fire, and In II few minutes was
burned to ashes The fire IL supposed
TO have been caused by matches, which
had been left In the cotton, and which
ienited on their passage through the
gin. Some men were at work In the
lint room, and the first intimation
they had Of the danger was the GIN
stand apparently ginning fire on them
aud 1t was only by prompt retreat
they saved their lives. The whole
place was at once aroused. and every
exerton was made to restrain the fire
to the gin house. These efforts were
happily successful, but had the wind
been in any other direction far greater
damage would have been done. About
fourteen bales Of cotton were burned.
Tho loss falls very heavily on Mr..
Worley, whose energy, enterprise aud
public spirit have deserved better luck
than this.
