Fire at Annis CottO.. Mills.

An alarm of "Fire" rang out on
our streets at two o'clock last Tues
day afternoon, and hundreds of peo-
pie rushed toward the Annis Cotton
Mills, from whence column of
dense black smoke was rising.
There were various conjectures and
reports as to the exact location of the
fire. One said it was the Cotton
Mill, another the Falcon Touring
mill, and another the railroad bridge
between them. 1t proved, however
to be the picker building of the An
mis- Cotton Mills. 1t was two story
brick structure, with shingle roof,
and stood about fifty feet from the
main factory building, the race tlow-
ing between them. The fire originate
ed in or near the picker, which was
located on the first floor, it is suppos-
ed from friction. The picker room
was all in flames when discovered by
the hands at work in the main build
ing. The loose lint cotton burned
very rapidly, and soon ignited the
floor, which was filled with the oil
drlppings from the machinery for
nearly twenty years. The race fur
nished abundance Of water, and had
there been enough men and buckets
on the scene when the fire was first
discovered the building could easily
have been saved, but by the time
help arrived the picker building was
beyond their power to save it, and SC
every effort was exerted on the main
building, the roof and cOrnice Of
which caught several times, but was
quickly extinguished.
The two dynamos of the Nc
Minnville Electric Light Co., were in
the burned building, and Of course
were totally destroyed. The loss tC
Annis Cotton Mills is about $4,000, tC
the Electric Light Co., between
81, 800 and $4,000. There was no in
surance.
Work was commenced Wednes
day morning clearing away the de
bris to rebuild. Mr.. w. P. Faulk
ner, President Of the Company, will
leave not later than Monday for tn
East to buy new machinery, and the!
hope to be able to resume operation
at the factory within three or tou
weeks.
The Electric Light Co., are nego
: tiating with the ThompsOn-Houstol
Co., for new dynamos, and also witt
the corporate authorities for an ex
tension of their franchise, which eX
pires next March, and it is the sin
cere wish of all our people that tn
lights will be turned on again at al
early date.
