Says a Charleston special Of Feb
two Of them In hay and grain lofts,
have increased the feeling Of annoy
ance that has been growing in
Charleston for a week past. Since
last Friday there have been eight
fires in hay and grain storage places,
and the police are busy looking for
"firebug," who seems to have ac-
quired "hayfever." The fires Of yes
terday aggregated $4,000. but in
those of today the hay and grain
warehouse of C. D. Gartleman & Co.
on King street, next to the police
station and Arnold's stables, "a
Chapel street, will not foot up more
than $4,000 damages. Their charac-
ter and occurrence during the middle
Of the day. just as the others have
done, Is something more than a COIN
cidence. Only the excellent work Of the
fire department has prevented great
loss, and the men and horses are
weary with such continuous service.
The first fire Of the morning was in
the reading room Of the Commercial
club, but was extinguished before Sc
rious damage was done.
