depot was fully discussed +.
The league favored, without
a dissenting voice, the erect

The following committee was
appointed to confer with Su-
perintendent Wells and, if
possible, induce the officials to
erect the depot at that place !:

EdgefieId Depot In Ashes

About $50 o'clock on SATURDAY.
night last the church bells rung,
human voices yelled, gatling guns
roared and the mill whistle below
ed, all of which formed a medley
in the form of a fire alarm. The
depot was on fire, having been set,
presumably, by electricity during
the terrific thunder storm. Only
a very short time before the fire
was discovered those residing near
heard several very sharp and loud
peals of thunder, the lightning
striking seemingly at or near the
depot. So far as can be determln-
ed the building caught near the
battery where all of the telegraph
wires unite. 1t is very improbable
that it was the act of robbers or
incendiariea for those first to arrive
on the scene found the building
burning on the inside and all doors
and windows securely fastened as
they were leftlan hour before.
The loss to the Southern railroad
will be very heavy unless it car
ried a large ammount of insurance
on the contents of the building.
Mr.. C. J. Derrick, the agent, states
by way Of rough estimate, that the
depot contained 12 or Is thousand
dollars worth of freight. As all
books and records were destroyet
it will be some time before the act
ual value of the contents can be as
csrtained. At this late hour there
was but little steam in the boiler
ST the locomotive, therefore 1t was
impossible to save all of the cars
on the track. One freight car and
contents, 200 sacks of guano, were
totally destroyed and two other
cars were badly damaged. There
was only one bale of cotton OH the
platform and it was saved.
This unfortunate catastrophe
must be numb red among those
which occasionally occur and
which no human power could
avert. Having lbuEnedg on thefE,
side for some time hef ore It ysss was
discovered it was bic TO ex!
tinguish the flames. rheEsaa
cannot attach any blame 10 any
employee nor to The citizens of
Edgefeld for the loss. Everything
possible was done to protect ths
company's interest.
