Gaffney Ledger, March 81: Mrs
Meek Smith and little daughter
Claude, from Clover are visiting Capt
and Mrs. S. 8. Ross. "A fire was dis
covered on the cotton platform near
the freight depot yesterday morning
by Officers Henry Lockhart and d. E
Lemmons, at half past four O'Clock
They secured the assistance OF the
night operator at the depot and get
ting the hose reel, had the fire under
control in a very short time. The fire
alarm was sounded, but not until the
fire was very near under control, and
for some reason or other, only few
of the firemen responded, so 1t was
owing to the vigilance and efforts OF
lMessrs. Lockhart and Lemmons that
the fire was prevented from gaining
considerable headway and doing un-
told damage AS 1t was, sixteen bales
lof cotton belonging to Mr.. ]. A. Car
roll and twelve bales belonging to Mr.
Dudley Jones were greatly damaged
No train had passed since 1.S0. and
as It had been only about thirty min
utes since one of the patrolmen pass
ed around when the fire was dis
covered, 1t might we'll be supposed
that the fire was the deed Of an In
cendiary.
