a BIC FIRE
w. H. Randolph & Co., Burned Out.

About l o'clock last Monday morning
the store house Occupied by W. II.
Randolph d Co., at TilIery, was burn
ed with all its contents.
The editor of THE CoMMoNwEALTH
called upon Mr.. P. G. Gregory Monday
to learn the particulars of the fire and
the losses. Mr.. Gregory seys that his
stock of goods was worth anywhere
from $4,000 to $15,ooO. His insur-
ance was only $500, and he thinks
that his loss above his insurance is
$4,000.
While the origin OF the fire was mys-
terious, Mr. Gregory sees no reason for
concluding it was the work OF an In
cendiary but thinks 1t was accidental.
He, with three other young men, Mess.
c. w. Gregory, Jack Jones and Ernest
Lawrence, was clseptng in an upper
room in the building.
About 10 minutes after l o'clock
Mr.. Gregory was awakened by the
falling OF buckets and other things
In the grocery department. below. He
sprang out of bed and found that the
store was on fire. He awoke the other
young men just N time for them all to
escape with their lives, in their night
clothes. The alarm was given and
soon perhaps 200 people were on the
scene but they were rowsrless to save
anything, so quickly did the flames en-
Yelop the entire building.
The fire originated on the west side
of the building in the grocery depart
ment where there was considerable
amount OF oil. Mr.. Gregory had the
presence OF mind to Keep all persons
away from that side of the building.
He sent to the State farm ior blood
hounds but no trail could be fotnd by
the dogs around the side of the build
ing on which the fire originated.
Fortunately the safe was located in
the west corner OF the building and the
flames burning away from it quickly, a
large chain was thrown around it and
half hundred mon dragged it in safe
ty from the fire. It was cooled with
water and upon being opened the
books, papers and money were all found
in good condition.
It took heroic work to save some
buildings across the railroad, and q
dwelling house some 200 yards away
caught fire, al we'll as the woods nearly
quarter of mile away.
The firm of w. III. Randolph & Co
has been in business In Tillery since
1882, its volume of bushes being now
about $4,000 annually. Mr.. P. G.
Gregory, the energetic manager, is one
OF the best and most progressive bust
ness men In the county, and he has 9
host of friends here and elsewhere who
deeply sympathizs with him In his
great loss. The hundreds OF people
who were furnished supplies by this
firm are for the present at great incon.
venience, but it will only be tempo
rary, as Mr.. Gregory said he would
open grocery supplies this week. Fur.
ther plans have not been matured.
