Petersburg, Va. Sept. ia destruc-
tive fire occurred this afternoon be-
tween and 8 o'clock at Violet Bank,
in Chesterfield county, just outside of
the city limits, at the home of Mr..
A. n. Haskins. The fire originated in
large barn, where was stored Mr..
Haskins' crop of wheat. and is sup
posed to have been caused from sparks
from Il wheat thresher. which at the
time of the fire was threshing wheat.
The barn was consumed, together with
its contents. and also another barn,
which contained the farming imple-
mentS. all of which were lost. Several
other outhouses were burned. y tree
litter. which cost 5000, was also de-
stroyed. and two valuable horses were
burned to death. The dwelling house
occupied by Mr.. S. V. Brown. the man.
ager of the farm. took fire and was
burned to the ground. The loss is esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $4,000, on
which there is an insurance of 81 900.
The historical mansion did not take fire.
Violet Bank is one of the most inter-
esting historical places in this section.
IT was here that General Lafayette,
during the revolutionary war, had his
headquarters when his army was on the
north side of the AppomattoX river, and
1t was also here that during the war

Editor Virginian- Pilot:
Dear Sir-To settle an argument
please decide the following and pub
fish answer in to-morrow's issue:
"A says that a square foot and a
foot square are entirely different.
"B" says that n square foot and n
foot square are just alike while speak
ing of the unit %; but when more
than one is spoken of. then they are
different.
Who is right?
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-09-13
SQUARE.

Answer-"B" is correct. One square
foot and one foot square are the same
n square of twelve inches.
Two square feet measure 12x24 inches
while a square, 24x24 inches, is two feet
square.
Two feet square covers twice as much
surface as two square feet
Three feet square covers three times
as much surface as three square feet,
etc.
