boro when IL ..as learned on Nondav
morning that an immense mole ute the
heart Of the town had been eaten BY the
~devouring flames. Raleigh Is connected
by marriage with nearly a dozen .. the
leading families Of Goldsboro, and the
frequent exchange Of social visits give
personal interest in the place. The eN-
tensiye calculations OF The Messenger. the
Bulletin. and the 1Hraace have contri-
buted TO the same result. Our brethren
have our heartiest sympathy in their
misfortune; and we suggest that any
Of their subscribers, know ing themself
to be indebted to either paper, could
find no better time to pay up, and there
by assist as well as cOndole.
The fire began in +. Borden's cotton
Sdlu dUOub lldl past tNo Oh cuLud1 :.
Some boys were smoking; a youth
named Watts threw down a match
and away went the flames! The ninety
days of drought had made all wood work
dry as finder. and almost instantly the
fire was beyond control. The firemen
soon found themselves disarmed by lack
Of water.
We have not space for a detailed des-
cription, the results must speak.

Mayor Gulick called upon the Colds
horo Rifles for aid. TO prevent the steal
inc and to guard the town, That fine
company, OF which Goldshoro has added
reason to be proud, rendered prompt
and efficient service.
The sparks and brands from the blaz-
inc buildings set on fire at least ten other
buildings, which were eXtinguished. 1t
required the constant services ofthe en-
tire population, male and female, to pre-
vent everything from being DESTROYED.
Ever the fields near the city were in
flames, while streams Of fire ran along
the leaves in the streets and yards,
Great clouds of burning paper and cotton
filled the air, rising to an immense
height. SO thick were the dust and
smoke that one could scarcely see how
to walk. The heat was sitting and
sickening.
And now Brunswick, Ga. in the very
heart OF the negro section has been
ruined by an incendiary fire which wiped
out 50houses and 500, 900 wccth ofprop-
erty. 1t is claimed the negroes would
not assist 10 eXtinguish the flames.
This fire closely following the one to Pa.
latka and Eufala looks ugly. Colored
people of the better class ought to ex-
pose all such atrocities or they will ruin
the race.

house and barn, by incendiary ire
