The A { | Co.'S Planning Mill Destroyed
Last Thursday.

GEoRGETowN, Sept. 4. Special:
On Thursday afternoon, August
81, about 3 O'Clock, an alarm of
fire was given and in about five
minutes the entire city was in a
furry of excitement. The fire
was located in the Atlantic
Coast Corporations mill.
In a short while a large crowd
of people were gathered at the
scene. The fire department re-
sponded promptly and rendered
effective service. The flames
shot up high and presented a
thrilling and weinspiring spec
tacle. Before the fire was got
under control the building, be-
ing constructed of wood and
highly inhammable, was entire
ly consumed.
The loss sustained amounts
to $150,000, partially covered
by insurance, and will result in
throwing hundreds of workmen
out of employment. The plan
ing mill will be rebuilt as soon
as possible. WHIPPOORWILL.

a few dots.
Cotton is opening rapidly
much earlier than it did last
year. There will not be more
than a half crop made through
this section of the country, al
though the prospects were very
good up to the time of the con-

the recent etspell. 1t Is hoped,
however, that a good price will
be realized for what is made.

Dear Sir: Would you like to
hear of a 20-year pant?
Mr. James A O'Neil's house,
Henderson, N G, was painted 20
years ago with Devoe lead-and
zinc, and never painted again
till last year; it then looked bet.
ter thon common paint in half
that time.
The reason is: Devoe is all
paint and true paint; while the
common paints are part true and
part false. Don't pay to monkey
with paint.
And Devoe costs less than
any of 'em; not by the gallon, of
course; by the house and year.
That's how to reckon it, Go by
