the superintendent of the mill does
not think any Of It can be used

aged by water, rust, &c. The walls ol
the building are uninjured. The roo''
q number Of windows, and the upper
floor will have to be renewed, and The
other floors are considerably damaged.
THE BUILDINGS.
The mill which was burned was
built in 1880. 1t was then small,
square three-story structure, but was
subsequently raised to five stories
and extended in length. Not many
years ego another addition "a frame
one) was made to the rear. The mill is
familiarity known as Walker d Saun.
ders's, by whom it was owned up to
two and half years age, when it was
purchased by Mr. c. E. Buck. March
l3, 1856, Mr.. Buck admitted to part
nership Mr.. Hoff. About two months
ago the firm Buck & Hoff made an as
signment. and their business is now in
the hands Of receiver. Mr.. Buck
had thoroughly modernized and
equipped the mill, and the meal aud
-four made there, especially the former,
now stand among the first brands or
the market.
The cotton-factory was builtin 1882.
and is 8 very large building, about siS
stories high. The weaving and filling
is done in this building. There is An
other disconnected building in which
the carding, warping, spinning, &C., Is
done. This one remains intact, bu:
cannot be used while the other depart
ments are idle.
OUT OF EMPLOY MEHI.
The mill gave employment to fifty or
more hands and the factory to over two
hundred, the latter mostly women and
girls, who will now be thrown ou:.
Most Of the latter class are poor people,
who will necessarily suffer in conse-
queDce Of not having employment. For
the sake Of these, as much as that Of the
owners Of the factory, it is to be hoped
the building will soon be repaired aud
operations resumed.
THE INSURANCE.
Messrs. Buck & Hoff had the follow
ing insurance which had been placed
by Nr. Thomas L. Alfriend. general
insurance agent, No. 1913 east Main

A NEW TOWN.

The town of Southern Pines is di-
vided into hundreds Of building-lots.
Many Of these were given TO northern
newspaper-men, who are improving
them rapidly. Perhaps three hundred
lots were thus given away, in return
for which the place gets great amount
OF advertising. and is now improving
rapidly. The Southern Improvement
Association has purchased / 300 acres
Of land at Round Knob, on the West
ern North Carolina railroad, and turned
it over to the State so that it can be
made summer resort for newspaper
men from the extreme South on the
same basis as the Southern Pines winter
resort. The scheme is already popular.
State-Immigration-Agent Patrick, who
is certainly live man, is pushing it.
Last spring negro known as" Crazy
Ike - killed his brother in avery brutal
way at Mount Olive, Wayne county.
1t was expected to begin his trial for
murder Monday, but it was begun to-
day. The defence is insanity.
There is considerable pressure being
brought to bear to secure the removal
Of the revenue headquarters Of the
Ninth district from Newton to Sails
bury.
RADICAL TROUBLES.
Troubles among the Radical party in
the Second or Black district increase
daily. John A. Moore, L. j. Moore,
j. B. Abbott, and others will dispute
with the negro O'Hars for the nomina-
tiou. Such work for it was never be-
fore seen in that district. John A.
Moore, Of Halifax, stands the best
chance of success. O'Hara will run as
an independent simply and solely on the
ground that be is negro, IN case ne
fails TO get the regular nomination.
A SENSATION.
A great sensation is caused in the
Stale by proceedings sgainstthe Ashe-
vile Citizen by the Buneombs County
Inferior Court for alleged contempt Of
court.
The sickness of Judge Graves's wife
and daughter continues. Judge Clarke
was to-day assigned to hold the Cstsvbs

RICHMOND TO THE RESCUE.
Chief Fuqus, thinking it perilous
undertaking to cross the bridge, or
dered the engines to return to Rich
mond and cross by way Of the Free
Bridge. This, Of course, necessitsted
considerable delay and Of all this time the
fire was making damaging use. Steamer
No. 2 came tearing down Hull street
about AIS o'clock and was greeted
with cheers. She was located just below
the bridge across the canal, and in q few
minutes had a good stream fighting the
furious flames, which had then assumed
proportions OF considerable magnitude.
The Alert Company had worked
faithfully, and all the men connected
with it deserve great credit, particu-
larly Mr.. James +. Bradley, who Was in
charge, but the building had become
very hot and s large blaze had broken
out the roof Of the factory. Steamer
No, 8 soon arrived and No. some time
later. Both of them soon got steadily
to work and in q short while the flames
were gotten under control not, how
ever, until the roof of the factory was
burned so badly as to fall in and the
upper floor so much injured ss TO be
equivalent to an entire loss.
