Selma, December Especial To-day
about 80 o'clock. ten minutes before the
noon recess, flames and smoke were dis
covered coming up the registers at the
Dallas academy, the largest public sehooi
building of the city. The janitor diseoV-
cred the flames emanating from the regis
ter on the office floor and after Vainly
trying to extinguish them with buckets
of water ran to the corner to give the
city alarm failing in the meantime to turn
on the fire drill alarm in the school.
Professor Hardaway, the principal Of the
school, was absent being at the Baker
school. and the signal was finally turned
in by Professor Winstead, one of the
teachers.
When the children learned of the fire
they were to some extent panic stricken
but the teacher kept them as quiet as
possible, and when the fire drill sounded
they fell in line and We're gotten out OF
the building in fair order. The building
was fairly we'll filled with smoke by that
time and some of the smaller children
were crying and badly frightened. The
elder ones, however, marched out in fair
order
Some defect in the wrapping of the as
bestos around the furnace lues is said
to have been the cause of the flames The
fire department soon responded TO the
alarm and the fire was extnguished with
little damage, only a small hole having
to be cut in the floor near the prinei-
pals office. The scholars were dismissed
but notice has been given that school
will be resumed tomorrow.
