Serious Fire in Darlington.
Darlington Oil Mill and the A. G.
L. Freight Depot Burned With
Heavy Loss.
Special to The State.


Darlington, Oct. 31.-Darling-
ton had two fires yesterday, the
first at the Darlington Oil Mill and
the second, which occurred after
night was at the freight depot of
the Atlantic Coast Line. In both
Instances there was great damage
done. The whole of the wooden
part of the mill was destroyed to-
gether with large lot of cotton in
bales. The wind was from the
north. The gin and factory togeth-
er with several out buildings were
destroyed, including the Office,
though the book, were rescued by
employees.
The fire started in one of the
of the gins. There was gallant
fight made by firemen and employ
ees to save the building but to no
purpose. This mill is an indepen-
dent one under the management
of Mr.. Robert X. Dargan. MIR.
Bright Williamson is the presi-
dent of the company.
Tho fire at night was at the
freight depot of the Atlantic Coast
Line 1t is new building, hav-
ing been put up recently to take
the place of one destroyed by fire
not great while ago. The officers
had just gone to supper when the
fire was discovered. How it origi
mated no one seems to know. There
was very heavy freight in the
building including the new town
bell and the town clock, both
of which are lost. The response of
the fire department was unusually
prompt, but owing to the kind of
material which was burning and
the extreme dry weather we have
had for so long a time nothing
could be done. The books and
some of the Office furniture were
saved but little of the freight.
The shifting engine moved all
cars near the burning building ex-
cept one flat car which some young
men moved so that no rolling
stock was lost.

Truck Farming in the South.

The United States now supplies
Great Britain with grain, meat,
cotton and tobacco. If it be true,
as stated in dispatch printed in
the Baltimore Sun yesterday, that
arrangements have been made by
which truck farmers in the South
are to provide our English friends
with vegetables and fruits, the
agricultural industry IN the Sod
thern States may, as the Macon
Telegraph says, be revolutionized.
A few years ago such an under
taking would have been imprac
ticable Lately, however, cold
storage has been brought almost
to u stage of perfection. With
cold g orage plants on the Georgia
and South Carolina plantations
which 1t ls proposed to convert
into truck farms, and fast freight
steamers equipped with facilities
for preserving vegetables, fruits
and meats while in transit, there
seems to be no reason why John

lights Of d Southern dinner with
