SOUTH CAROLINA.

Tuesday evening fire broke out in tho cot
ton warehouse OF Jones & Robertson near the
depot IN the southwestern part of Columbia
In few moments the fire had covered
tho rear part Of the building and the opeH
platform. The engines were promptly ON the
ground, and the supply of water being abund-
ant. thh flames were confined to tho one
building.
At one time the union depot, a large wooden
structure was in great danger, and great effort
was needed to save it.
The cotton destroyed will reach $50 bales,
involving loss of about $4,000, distributed
among the owners of the different lots On
the whole quantity there was about $4,000 in
surance i'll companies represented there, and
about the same amount in agencies elsewhere,
The probable loss cannot be closely estimated
until the adjusters act upon them. The insur-
ance ON the cotton will certainly fall short of
the loss.
The building was the property of the
South Carolina Railway company was valued at
$1,000. and is believed to be fully covered by
insurance.
The Red Bank Cotton Manufacturing COM
rany, operating near Columbia, had thous-
and dollars worth of goods in the building
which was totally destroyed; no insurance.
The cotton is still burning, and will probably
burn all night and tomorrow, perhaps longer.
The fire is supposed to have been caused by
spark from locomotive. One hundred out of
one hundred and fifty bales on the platform
had been hauled off a few minutes before the
fire was discovered. On all the cotton on the
platform, the insurance was only s., 600. The
fire was the largest cotton fire Columbia has
had in thirty wears.
