SCENE.
The Tobacco Factory of Prichard
&Winstead is Destroyed With
Heavy Loss, While the
GOldsboro Buggy Com
pany Has q Close
The burning Of the tobacco
factory of Prichard & Winstead
on Saturday night occasioned the
biggest fire that Goidsboro has
had in twenty years. It was in
fact the biggest fire, literally
speaking, that Goldshoro hiss
ever had. There have been fires
here when there was great deal
more property destroyed, but
there never has been q fire here
where the flames went as high or
shOne as bright as they did on
Saturday night. People at FIRE.
mont, twelve miles north of here,
could easily see the great light
from the fire. And all around, at
Princeton. MI. Olive and La
Grange which places take ia all
points of the compass, and which
are from twelve to fourteen
miles distant, the reflection of
the red light of the fire on the
clouds could be distinctly seen
and phone and telegraph messa~
ges were received asking what
the damage was.
Here in Goldsboro the pene-
trating rays Of the electric lights
grew pale and dim beside the eff
ulgent rays from the tall leaping
flames which shed their lustre IN
every nook and corner. The
building which was burned was
four stories high and was sit
uated on one of the highest ele'
vations in the city. The flames
from the burning building as
cended into the air more thar
twice as high as the building
and could be easily seen from
any part of the city. In the
most obscure alleys and back
yards the light from the fire wa:
a IS bright as early twilight.
Thousands of people crowded
the streets adjoining the bloch
on which the fire was doing it,
work Of destruction. The spec
tacle was worth the visit. A
tremendous frame building, foul
stories high, filed with infama
BILE material and burning to thu
ground, is a sight not often wit
messed. Under the present Cir
cumstances, when the black
ness of night hung over the city
which was sheltered only b,
black threatening clouds from
which a light arain was falling
the fire was seen to better advan
tage than if 1t had occurred il
the day time, and the thousand
who stood in the presence Of tn
Rwe-inspiring scene were con
tiuually commenting on the gran
deur of the spectacle while ex
pressing sympathy for the own
ers of the building and the pro
prietors of the tobacco factory.
The fire originated in the boile
room of the factory and whel
first discovered had gained sue
Roadway as to prevent the fire de
partment from saving the build
ing. The four-story building
nearby occupied by the Colds
boro Buggy Factory is a monu
ment to the effective work don
by the fire department. At sew
eral times it was thought til
buggy factory would surely burn
but by the heoroic work of on
gallant volunteer fire departmeo
1t was saved, although damages
considerably. The buggy c,m

OF INTENSE INTEREST TO FARMERS.
How High Priced Beef and Cotton Seed
Are Related.

The Texas Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association at late meeting held In
Texas, passed O resolution confirming
that the high price Of beef was due TO
q shortage in seed products. The foi.
lowing taken from the Cotton ana
Farm Journal, throws some light upon
this subject:
"The rules adopted by the Texas
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association puts
Il in line with the other associations OF
a similar kind In the South. It Is prob
able that there will be no more invas-
ion Of Mississippi and Alabama by
Texas mills In search Of seed.
THE cattlemen who were expected
here to expostulate over their alleged
bad treatment during the past year
have not put In appearance as yet, ana
may not. The crushers do not seem
concerned over the threat Of some OF
the cattlemen to operate their own
mills. The fact that the Swift Com
pany has recently purchased half q
dozen mills at different points was
not commented on by any OF the crush
ers to whom It was mentioned, save to
the effect that Swift would probably
be able to use more feed than those
mills would provide.
"A resolution was adopted deprecat-
inE any act Of congress that may tend
to reduce the price Of cattle and hogs,
and alleging that the present high
price Of meat IL due to q shortage In
seed products.'
This would seem to show there were
two sides to this question Of high beef
and that In 80 far as Texas II concerned
the price Of beef Is bound to vary with
the price Of cotton seed hulls and cot
ton seed meal. In proportion as the
grass area Of Texas has diminished.
the cattle-raisers have been compelled
to buy feed stuffs, and the only avail
able feed-stufrs In quantity II cotton
seed hulls and cotton seed meal. Hulls
have been selling within the last year
or two In Texas as high as 81 q ton.
This means that the meat supply In
the future IL largely dependent upon
the cotton seed oil business, and that
the people of the Southeastern States
will probably 90 much more extensively
into the business Of raising cattle for
beef purposes after they dnd out as
much about the values Of hulls and
meal a the Texas cattle man has
found out by the necessities Of the
case. It would seem az though the
eastern farmer now has the advantage
Of the Texan In raising cattle for beef
purposes and in handling cattle for
dairy purposes.

tition with other markets can be had
