Gaffney Ledger, Sept. so: Yesterday
morning at o'clock as officers Lloyd
Austell and Cap Lemmons were on
their rounds, they discovered an in
cipient fire burning in w. ]. Maness's
store on Limestone street. They at
once notified the power house which
sounded the alarm, and then pulled
out a nearby hose reel and attached
the hose to a hydrant, broke a glass
out Of the front door and soon had
stream on the burning goods which
soon put the fire out. The fire origf-
mated among a lot Of matches that
were arranged on the shelves and Is
thought to have been caused by rats.
Mr.. Maness had no insurance, but his
ceipts Of cotton have been good in
Gaffney every day this week, the total
number Of bales received being about
500 up to the middle of yesterday af-
ternoon. or this number the Gaffney
Manufacturing company has bought
something over 200, the balance being
bought by the merchants. The prices
paid were around 1850 the first of the
week, gradually declining every day
till Wednesday when it went down to
10 cents and was sold at that price
yesterday. Ten cents is the price be-
low which buyers will find the farmers
are not inclined to sell. American
cotton is selling in England at from
II to 13 cents. This fact alone is suf-
ficient to inform farmers what their
cotton is worth and make them con-
tend for it's value. .... The bodies Of
Mr.. Scott Hill, Miss Sarah Hill, Mrs.
Laura Hill and Ruth, the little daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Laura HILL Tuesday at
IL o'clock followed by a long train of
friends and relatives, were taken to
Oakland cemetery and amid the sor-
row. stricken congregation, were quiet
| ly laid in their graves to await the
resurrection. Wednesday the body Of
Rochelle Rogers Hill, the thirteen
months -old son Of Mrs. Laura Hill,
was taken directly to the cemetery
and placed beside the others who had
been killed in the same railroad wreck,
in which it had lost it's own little life.
We are glad to state that the latest
information from Knoxville says that
two remaining Hill children are on the
road to recovery; that they are ten
derly cared for in hospital in Knox
vile, and now that the dead are all
buried, the remaining relatives of
these little ones will hasten to their
sides and assist in nursing them back
to health. 49,. North Carolina wagons
are on the streets every day now load
ed with chickens, apples and cabbage.
