PLANKINT0N SCORCHED
fire Wipes Out Seven Buildings On
Main Street Loss SIS, 900
1ssaas sPnaNA lRR>R
Insurance llfht


Plankinton suffered the worst fire in
its history early Wednesday morning.
Almost an entire block of buildings on
the west side Of the street from the
Case & Lathrope bank north went up
in smoke. The bank building and the
next to it are all that are left in that
block in the heart Of the business
district. The loss on buildings and
stocks is estimated at SIS, 900, with less
than $4,ON, insurance.
The fire caught in restaurant and
was discovered about four O'Clock by
the flames breaking through the upper
floor, where six young men we're sleep
ing and who barely escaped with their
lives. The fire quickly spread on both
directions from the restaurant and
was well under headway before the fire
boys got at it. They worked like
tigers under the direction Of Chief
Taubman and done heroic work, but
the frame. buildings burned like
tinder and with insufficient water
pressure the firemen were powerless to
do any thing better than confine the
fire to the block. The frame building
next to the bank were saved by the
greatest effort.
Chas. Hard, fireman, fell from
ladder onto cement walk and it is
thought is seriously injured.
Several plate glass windows across
the street and all the lights In the
opera house were broken by the heat.
The following is the names of the men
burned out, with losses and insurance.
Many goods were saved:
T. C. DeJean, hardware, loss 81 800.
Insurance $1,000.

Cotton is King Again.

Soon after our civil war; when cotton was
selling from l2 10 lScts per h., the New
England cotton manufactures became up.
Easy. They discovered that the abolition OF
Savory In the South was not an unmiXed
blessing 10 them. Charles Sumner, the
great A postle OF the New EDgland abolition
Isl, declared IN public speech, that cotton
would be produced by free labor in the
The 80 years have passed; and instead of
) cent cotton we have 10 cts. cotton and twice
as much of II.
sumner was either very ignorant as to the
ertecI mdaptiblity OF the Slave system In
he suuth, ior producing cheap cotton, or he
did not Adequately comprehended the effect
the change from the slave TO the tree system
HoulU have or, perhaps, he like politicians
generaIy, meant TO approve the discomfort
OF his constitution by oamboozeling them.
CoTToH WAS STYLED KING.
Before the war, from the fact that it had a
greater money value than any other crop
produced In the United States.
IT Is king again, because IT not only has q
greater money vaiue than any other crop in
The United states, but turns the "balance
oi trade" In cur favor.
The present crop will not be less than
l2000,00O bales of 500 lbs. each. The price
will average 10 cents per pound. This gives
a total vaIue OF S6OO0O000O
Add value OF seed 5OO0OOOO
Grand total $3.50 900 900
Add S47.J0 for finished product 570,oO0,00O
Add ~ cts. for finished seed
product 360O0,000
Sl,2560OO,OO0
One billion two hundred and fiity-slX mil
lions.
This Is a magnificent showing for the South
and King cotton" The South has the
clinch on cotton, and she means TO hold IT,,
not by reducing the price ofraw cotton with
cheaper labor but by enhancing the value
of the finished product, and establishing a
more equitable ratio OF profit, between the
product and manufacturer we will show how
this can be done ia another article.
