Rock HILL, August 6.-There was
very quiet fire in one of the ware
houses at the Victoria mill Sunday ana
about 100 bales of cotton were
damaged. Not many people In the
city knew anything about II as the
alarm was not sounded. This was
because of the efficient fire protec-
ton which the mill has, independent
OF the city department. The watch
man smelled the fire about eleven
o'clock and searched diligently with
out locating 1t and II was not until he
made his one o'clock round that he
found 1t. Pretty near the whole af-
ternoon was put In by those who
quietly fought to extinguish the fire
which was sometimes In blaze.
This was finally accomplished after
one hundred bales had been more or
less damaged. The exact extent
cannot be accurately given at this
time. The loss is fully covered by
insurance.
